Kitazawa explained.
Ying nodded, her face showing anticipation.
She grew up in the Earth Spider clan, had few friends, had never met anyone her age, and this was her first time going to school.
"I'll take you to register first."
Kitazawa patted her head and said.
"Ah."
Hotaru said obediently, "Thank you, Kitazawa-sensei."
"Come with me."
Kitazawa turned and walked toward Umino Iruka's office.
"Senior Kitazawa."
When Umino Iruka saw him, he quickly stood up and greeted him.
"This is Ying, a new student in the gifted class."
Kitazawa got straight to the point.
"Hotaru, hello, I'm Iruka Umino, the teacher of the genius class."
Upon hearing this, Umino Iruka looked at Hotaru and introduced himself.
He was used to Kitazawa bringing a genius back to Konoha every now and then, so he wasn't surprised.
"Teacher Iruka."
Ying bowed slightly and said, "Please take care of me."
Iruka Umino smiled and nodded.
They were more polite than Kaguya and Kimimaro, who had just joined the genius class.
"Have the Third Hokage and the others returned?"
Kitazawa asked again.
He arrived early today and didn't see Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others on the playground.
Only a portion of the students from the gifted program attended.
All he knew was that Kurenai Yuhi had completed her mission and returned to Konoha.
"The Third Hokage and Kakashi-senpai did not return."
Umino Iruka replied.
"Let me know when they get back."
Kitazawa nodded and said.
"I see."
Iruka Umino naturally knew what Kitazawa was talking about.
Once all the teachers and students return, the rankings for this midterm exam will be announced.
"The team battles for the next final exam will be temporarily canceled and replaced with individual battles."
Kitazawa suddenly thought of something and said.
"Individual combat?"
Iruka Umino was somewhat surprised.
"It's because of the newly joined Shion and Chino."
Kitazawa paused for a moment, then said, "Including Hotaru."
On his way back, he investigated Ying's strength.
To his surprise, Hotaru's specialty was not Earth Release ninjutsu, but Water Release ninjutsu.
how to say?
With Hotaru joining, the genius class now has one more student skilled in Water Release techniques.
Add Sakura Haruno, Shiro, and Chino, and there will be four.
Who would have thought that the most talented people in Konoha Village are not those skilled in Fire Release, but those skilled in Water Release?
As for the forbidden technique, "Rage of Heaven," it was engraved on Ying's back.
This is the unique way the Earth Spider clan passes on its heritage.
In the original work, Bai Lang captured Ying in order to separate the forbidden technique, "Raging Heaven," from her.
Kitazawa felt that the forbidden technique, Rage of Heaven, was useless, just like Jugo's Sage Mode, which was purely a negative effect.
Although it can absorb natural energy, it cannot control it.
The former can only be used for self-destruction, exchanging one for many, while the latter is a berserk killer with unstable emotions.
After examining the forbidden technique, Fury of the Heavens, Kitazawa discovered that it had absolutely nothing to do with Sage Mode.
Jugo's Sage Mode is more like a weakened version of Sage Mode.
"Iruka, take Hotaru to meet the students in the genius class."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and added, "Remember to arrange tutoring for her in theoretical knowledge."
"Ok."
Iruka Umino left the office with Hotaru.
Kitazawa didn't linger. After leaving the Ninja Academy, he headed straight for the Hokage Building.
"You've finally arrived!"
Tsunade, who was lying on the Hokage's desk, immediately stood up when she saw him, as if a fish had jumped into the water and come back to life.
"Isn't it before work hours?"
Kitazawa glanced at the clock on the wall and asked.
"Stop talking and give me the money. I want to go to the casino!"
Tsunade walked up to him, extended her hand, and said confidently.
Shouldn't we conduct a handover of responsibilities first?
Kitazawa took her hand and asked.
"unnecessary."
Tsunade slapped his hand and asked, "Don't you know the situation in Konoha Village?"
"Too."
Kitazawa casually handed her a bankbook, saying, "This is a week's worth of money."
He is the head of the secret service.
All important information about Konoha Village would pass through him.
Of all the people in Konoha, besides Tsunade, he knew the most.
“So generous?”
Tsunade glanced at the bankbook and asked in surprise.
"If you think it's too much, you can give it back to me."
Kitazawa smiled and said.
"That won't work!"
Tsunade quickly put away the bankbook and said, "Do a good job today, I'm leaving now!"
After she finished speaking, she immediately disappeared from the spot.
Kitazawa shook his head.
He sat in the Hokage's chair and casually picked up the documents on the table.
The documents sent to Tsunade are usually very important.
Kitazawa had already reviewed most of the important documents in the Dark Division, so they were processed quickly.
In less than an hour, he had finished reading all the documents on the Hokage's desk.
The most important document is related to the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Bubbles, from Kirigakure.
Qing has already led the team on their way and they should arrive tomorrow.
Kitazawa stroked his chin.
Negotiations should definitely be left to Nara Shikaku.
He had no interest in arguing with the delegation from Kirigakure.
Moreover, Konoha Village has already gained the upper hand in this negotiation, and it won't lose out no matter how it negotiates.
Kitazawa had already had Shizune draft the terms for negotiating with Kirigakure.
Now all we need to do is have Nara Shikaku negotiate based on these conditions.
"clear."
Kitazawa shouted.
"Fire...Kitazawa-sama."
Qing pushed open the door and walked in. After pausing for a moment, she immediately spoke.
Kitazawa did not tell anyone that he was taking Tsunade's place at work.
Therefore, she didn't react for a moment when she saw Kitazawa sitting in the Hokage's chair.
"Have Senior Shikaku go to Senior Shizune and tell her that he will be in charge of the negotiations with Kirigakure."
Kitazawa said casually.
"Yes, Lord Kitazawa."
Qing bowed slightly, then turned and left.
Normally, such an order should be issued by Tsunade, but since Kitazawa was already sitting in the Hokage's chair, what else could be said?
After tidying up the documents on the Hokage's desk, Kitazawa formed hand seals and created a shadow clone.
The work was done, so there was no need for him to stay and wait; he could just let his shadow clone keep an eye on things for him.
Kitazawa went to a nearby training ground and began practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique.
He is now very interested in Tsunade's special reward, and he can receive it sooner if he learns the Flying Thunder God Technique as soon as possible.
In addition, he also managed to complete a system task with an unknown reward, making it a win-win situation; he won twice.
As the sun sets, another day of cultivation quickly comes to an end.
The next afternoon, the Kirigakure delegation led by Ao arrived at Konoha.
Kitazawa didn't go, and neither did Tsunade.
Two days later, the final exams for the gifted class came to an end.
After announcing the rankings, Kitazawa took Naruto Uzumaki to the Forest of Death.
The reason they weren't trained at the Ninja Academy was because the commotion of half-tailed beast transformation was too great.
If other ninjas mistake it for Kurama going berserk, it would cause unnecessary panic.
"Naruto."
Kitazawa stopped and asked, "What's your relationship with Kurama like now?"
We're friends now!
Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said, "It appreciates my way of youth!"
"...?"
