Kitazawa closed the door and followed Tsunade.
He turned his head and saw that her beautiful face was full of smiles.
Are you that happy?
Kitazawa asked.
"Of course I'm happy not to go to work."
Tsunade, with an air of experience, said, "You'll understand how I feel once you start working."
"It seems I should have started working two years later."
Kitazawa smiled and said.
"you dare?"
Tsunade's expression immediately changed. She turned to look at him and said threateningly, "Two years means two years!"
Why such a big reaction?
Kitazawa leaned forward, bit her red lips, and asked, "Do I smell like a liar?"
Tsunade was startled and instinctively looked around to make sure no one was there before she breathed a sigh of relief.
She immediately retorted angrily, "If you dare to do that again, watch out, I'll kick you away!"
Kitazawa blinked, not taking her threat to heart.
"If you find being Hokage tiring, just find a successor sooner rather than later."
Tsunade suggested.
“My students are all too young, so finding a successor won’t be as easy as it is for you.”
Kitazawa shook his head and said.
There are many candidates for the next Hokage, such as Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Hinata Hyuga.
The only problem is age.
Although Gaara became Kazekage at the age of fifteen, that was an unexpected situation.
The Sand Village has no successor; apart from Gaara, there is no other suitable candidate.
Konoha Village is different; it has more strong individuals.
Even the savior Naruto Uzumaki didn't become Hokage until he was almost thirty years old.
Now that Kitazawa has joined the fray, things are even more unpredictable.
"Too."
Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "Then you should do more work."
"You gave up quite quickly."
Kitazawa couldn't help but complain.
"You solve your problem."
Tsunade said quite frankly.
The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the ninja school.
"Since you're here, how about you draw lots?"
Kitazawa suddenly thought of something and asked.
Team battles don't require behind-the-scenes maneuvering; they're all about raw skill. No matter how the game is arranged, you have to win every match to take first place.
"can."
Tsunade nodded, speaking casually.
"Lord Hokage!"
The students in the genius class shouted excitedly upon seeing Tsunade.
Although they see Hiruzen Sarutobi every day, Tsunade is different; she is the current Hokage, and they see her very rarely.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kakashi Hatake, Kosuke Maruboshi, and others also came forward to greet her.
"Iruka."
Kitazawa called out, "The roster."
Umino Iruka immediately handed him the roster.
"These are the six student teams participating in the team battle."
Kitazawa gave the roster to Tsunade.
Tsunade opened the roster and started looking at it.
In addition to the six student teams, there are also the specific rules for this team battle.
"It looks like the second stage of the Chunin Exams."
After reading it, Tsunade commented.
"That's what I think too."
Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and said, "In two years, after they graduate, we must hold a joint Chunin Exam."
"Let Kitazawa handle things in a couple of years."
Tsunade said casually.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were taken aback.
Does this mean that Kitazawa will be the Hokage two years from now?
Although everyone already knew that Kitazawa would be the next Hokage, it was still unexpected that he could become Hokage so quickly.
After all, Tsunade is not old; in fact, due to the Yin Seal, she can maintain her youth.
Theoretically speaking, he could serve for another twenty years without any problem.
This is actually the norm in the five major villages.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will remain as Kage for a long time, like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Onoki.
"Alright, it's about time. Let's head to the Death Forest."
Kitazawa coughed lightly and reminded him.
After he finished speaking, he led the way.
Soon, they arrived at the battlefield for the genius class team battle: the Death Forest.
"Tsunade-sensei."
Kitazawa took out a lottery box and said, "Please draw the two teams for the first sparring match."
Tsunade nodded and casually pulled out two small slips of paper.
She opened it, glanced at it, and said, "Uchiha Sasuke's team versus Aburame Shino's team."
"Both squads may enter the arena now. The battle will begin in fifteen minutes."
Kitazawa spoke up upon hearing this.
Fifteen minutes is the time they need to set up the field and discuss tactics.
The two teams exchanged a glance, then headed off in opposite directions, one to the left and one to the right.
Besides them, there are also Kosuke Maruboshi and Kurenai Yuhi.
They are both instructors and safety officers; they will step in to help if there is any danger to life.
At the same time, students can call out to them.
If either of these two situations occurs, it means that the student has failed and has to leave the competition.
Chapter 374 Uchiha Sasuke's Desperate Comeback
How do we spectate the game?
Tsunade looked at the dense Forest of Death and asked.
"Go up to the sky and look."
Kitazawa replied.
"You can fly?"
Tsunade raised an eyebrow and asked.
"I won't."
Kitazawa formed hand seals and said, "But it will."
A seed falls to the ground, and with a tremor of the earth, vines sprout from it.
Driven by Wood Release chakra, it continued to spread into the sky.
This is Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique, but a weakened version.
The wooden dragon stood in mid-air, and its original barbs gathered together, turning into a wooden ladder.
"Wow!"
The students in the gifted class immediately exclaimed in amazement upon seeing this.
Kakashi Hatake, Baojun Chen, and Iruka Umino were also greatly impressed.
"Is this how you use Wood Release?"
Tsunade was stunned for two seconds before she couldn't help but ask a question.
"Ninjutsu is just a tool."
Kitazawa shook his head and said, "As long as the goal is achieved, that's fine."
"Your idea is quite novel."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a chuckle.
Although it doesn't conform to traditional ninja thinking, he's already retired, so he doesn't care how Kitazawa uses it.
"please."
Kitazawa raised his hand and said.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kakashi Hatake, and the others boarded the wooden dragon and ascended to mid-air.
Once in mid-air, the wooden dragon spat out numerous branches, forming a large viewing platform.
"Teacher Kitazawa, what about us?"
Naruto Uzumaki asked impatiently.
Ino Yamanaka, Hinata Hyuga, and the others also showed expressions of anticipation.
"You cannot watch the battle."
Kitazawa shook his head and said, "You spectators will see the specific terrain, which is unfair to Sasuke and the others."
The students in the gifted class could only show regret upon hearing this.
It's a real pity that we can't watch the battle or ride the wooden dragon.
“Iruka will relay their battle situation to you.”
Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "You can also use this time to think about tactics."
"Ok."
Iruka Umino readily agreed upon hearing this.
"Tsunade-sensei."
Kitazawa turned around and walked up to Mulong, asking, "Are you waiting for me instead of going up?"
"No."
