I teach in Naruto, and the system says I am Tsunade's student

Page 761

After all, Kitazawa's head is now worth an astronomical bounty on the black market.

"I personally have a great fascination with Wood Release, so I would like to experience the legendary Wood Release firsthand."

Kakuzu said without changing his expression.

This statement is not a lie.

Although he was powerful, he wasn't arrogant enough to kill Kitazawa in Konoha.

Putting aside Kitazawa's own strength, the presence of ninjas like Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade, and Orochimaru alone would have kept him in Konoha forever.

Kakuzu doesn't want to die.

After all, he hadn't earned enough money yet, especially after getting involved in business, which opened up a whole new world for him.

The previous practice of doing daily commissioned tasks and black market bounties was very inefficient.

His search for Kitazawa stemmed solely from his obsession with Wood Release.

"If it's a friendly spar, I can ask Kitazawa for you."

Xiao Nan thought for a moment and then said.

"Well."

Kakuzu nodded and said, "If he agrees, have him come to the Valley of the End to see me at nine o'clock next Monday morning."

He needs to make thorough preparations this week.

The reason for choosing the Valley of the End is because it is the place where Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha fought.

If he defeats Kitazawa's Wood Release here, it would be a way for him to vent his anger in front of Hashirama Senju.

“I will go with them.”

Xiao Nan reminded him.

"I see."

Kakuzu understood the hidden meaning in her words.

She was worried that the sparring would turn into a deadly battle, which would lead to war between the Akatsuki and Konoha.

Neither of them refused.

He was also afraid that Kitazawa's Wood Release technique was truly at the level of Hashirama Senju, and that he would be killed in the process.

It's no wonder he's so cowardly; it's because Hashirama Senju's Wood Release left a very deep impression on him back then.

"I'll wait until next Monday. If he doesn't arrive, I'll leave."

After Kakuzu finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.

Xiao Nan fell into deep thought.

She was thinking about how to bring this up with Kitazawa.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

As soon as Kitazawa arrived at the ninja academy, he was surrounded by students from the genius class.

The questions asked were mostly related to Wood Release.

Wood Release is so famous in Konoha that everyone, from old women to children, knows it.

"Alright, everyone get back to training!"

Kitazawa answered a few of their questions and then dismissed them.

"Kitazawa, you're really something now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled as he spoke.

"This is all thanks to the reputation of the First Hokage."

Kitazawa shook his head and said modestly.

"If you can defeat a demon like the Wraith, your Wood Release won't be bad either. Perhaps Konoha Village can produce another God of Shinobi."

Maruhoshi Kosuke has a high opinion of Kitazawa.

Kakashi Hatake didn't say anything, but looking at Kitazawa, he sensed something subtle.

Kitazawa's impression of him was that his strength would surge every now and then.

Kakashi Hatake himself is a genius, and he has seen geniuses like Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, but he still feels that Kakashi is very abnormal.

Now it's even more outrageous that he has mastered Wood Release, making him far stronger than him.

"Let's get down to business."

Kitazawa coughed lightly and said, "The students in the genius class are now so famous that they've attracted the attention of other ninja villages."

"This is indeed a problem."

Chen Baojun said with a serious expression, "Many geniuses have died at the hands of the enemy."

At that moment, he thought of his former students.

"I will have the Dark Guard strengthen the protection of the gifted students."

Kitazawa nodded and said, "Also, we teachers of these gifted classes need to pay more attention to their safety on a regular basis."

"do not worry."

Maruhoshi Kosuke immediately assured him, "If you want to hurt them, you'll have to kill me first."

"Not bad!"

Chen Baojun echoed.

These old ninjas were not far from death, and their only wish was for these students in the genius class to grow up healthy.

Kitazawa suddenly thought of the Will of Fire.

The current Maruboshi Kosuke and others perfectly embody the Will of Fire.

After the chat, everyone went to their respective study groups and began giving pointers to the students.

"Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji, come here."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and then called out.

Upon hearing this, the three people immediately stopped training and walked up to him.

"I'm giving you a task."

Kitazawa said with a smile, "This afternoon, take Shion around for a stroll."

He originally only intended to call them Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, but considering their personalities, he added Neji Hyuga as well.

Hyuga Neji is somewhat similar to Uchiha Sasuke in terms of personality, but they are actually completely different.

Uchiha Sasuke is cool, Hyuga Neji is calm.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Naruto patted his chest and said.

Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuga Neji didn't react much, they just nodded.

"Go train."

Kitazawa waved his hand and said, "I'll take you to see her this afternoon."

The three returned to their respective positions and began training.

It was noon.

Kitazawa returned to his office.

"Kitazawa".

Xiao Nan stood up, hesitated for two seconds, and said, "There's something I want to tell you."

"what's up?"

Kitazawa looked at her and asked with some curiosity.

“One of our Akatsuki members greatly admires Wood Release, so he would like to have a spar with you.”

Xiao Nan told the truth.

She thought about it all morning and finally adopted Kakuzu's reasoning.

[Current Mission: Defeat Kakuzu using Wood Release as a challenge.]

[Mission Reward: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken]

【Whether to accept? 】

Kitazawa's eyes lit up, thinking to himself that as expected of Kakuzu, he had transformed into a money-giving boy.

Wind Release: Rasenshuriken is an S-rank Wind Release ninjutsu from the original work.

Its unfinished version destroyed both of Kakuzu's hearts in one fell swoop.

However, it also has drawbacks, namely that its power is too great and can hurt the user, making it a forbidden technique.

In the original work, Naruto Uzumaki lost sensation in his right hand after using it once, and if he continued to use it, it would directly cripple his right hand.

However, once he mastered Sage Mode, Wind Release: Rasenshuriken no longer had any side effects.

Although Kitazawa doesn't have Sage Mode yet, he believes in the system and that he will have it someday.

In short, the rewards for this task are definitely worth it; it's a steal.

Theoretically, Kitazawa could create Wind Release: Rasenshuriken himself, but it would take a lot of time, so it's unnecessary.

"When?"

Kitazawa snapped out of his daze and asked.

"You agreed?"

Xiao Nan felt a sense of surprise.

Do you expect me to refuse?

Kitazawa chuckled and asked.

That's not what I meant.

Xiao Nan shook her head and said, "The time is set for next Monday, and the location is the Valley of the End."

"The Valley of the End? He certainly picked a good place."

Kitazawa could probably guess why Kakuzu chose the Valley of the End.

It can only be said that he still can't forget Hashirama Senju and Wood Release.

Kitazawa had been very curious about the battle between Kakuzu and Hashirama Senju in his previous life.

It was only mentioned briefly in the original work without going into details, but there are quite a few rumors and speculations circulating about it.

For example, Kakuzu simply threw a kunai from 800 miles away, then ran away; no fight broke out.

For example, he only fought one of Hashirama Senju's wooden clones.

Kitazawa felt the latter was more likely.

Given Hashirama Senju's strength, Kakuzu simply couldn't escape, unless it was a wood clone.

"Thank you."

Xiao Nan said with a sincere expression.

Kitazawa and Kakuzu had never met before, so his agreement to spar was clearly out of consideration for her.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to a sparring match that would bring him no benefit.

"It was just something I did."
