Konoha Village was the last one standing, giving Kitazawa and his group time to prepare.
But she quickly banished the thought from her mind.
Preparing is useless against Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan.
Xiao Nan was conflicted.
For a moment, she didn't know who she hoped would win.
Chapter 408 Tsunade: You Be the Hokage
a new day.
The name Uchiha Sasuke is already known to everyone.
The students in the gifted class were somewhat surprised, but not many.
With Naruto Uzumaki as an example, it seemed only natural that Sasuke Uchiha would become famous.
What they were more worried about was the new transfer student who joined the genius class, Fu, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.
With Gaara joining in earlier, there are now two geniuses among geniuses.
Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki didn't feel anything, but Kimimaro Kaguya, Neji Hyuga, and others felt immense pressure.
Kiba Inuzuka and Tayuya, who were even weaker, felt hopeless about their future and wanted to give up entirely.
Kitazawa could guess what they were thinking, but there was really nothing he could do about it.
The ninja world is cruel; talent and bloodline determine everything.
Like Tayuya and Kiba Inuzuka.
Kitazawa has helped them become much stronger, but it's difficult to elevate them to the level of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.
Fortunately, the gifted students are about to graduate.
As long as we get through this year, everything will be fine.
"Lord Kitazawa."
Anbu ninja Haru appeared before Kitazawa, saying, "The Hokage requests that you see her."
Kitazawa nodded and immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear in the Hokage's office.
"Take a look at this list."
Tsunade handed him a scroll and said, "If there's anyone who's not suitable, just say so."
Kitazawa casually opened the scroll.
The scroll is titled "Summoning Beast Ninja Squad Preliminary List".
Kitazawa glanced at it and was somewhat surprised.
The person in charge was Kabuto Yakushi, while the deputy persons in charge were Izumi Uchiha and Torune Aburame.
In other words, this summoning beast ninja unit will be led by his three students.
In a sense, they also rose to the top of Konoha Village overnight.
But upon closer examination, they do indeed qualify.
Kabuto Yakushi needs no introduction; in the original work, he was a major villain who stirred up the ninja world.
Aburame Torune, under normal circumstances, would have become Danzo Shimura's personal bodyguard, and would have been considered one of the best among the Jonin.
Uchiha Izumi, once she awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, gained the strength of a Jonin.
In addition, she is still young and has a limitless future; she might even awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Of course, most importantly, they were Kitazawa's students, ninjas from the Hokage lineage.
They're in charge of the summoning beast ninja squad, so no one will say much about it.
"I have no objection."
Kitazawa smiled and said after reading the scroll.
Apart from Kabuto and his two companions, all the ninjas who joined the Summoning Beast Ninja Squad were at least Chunin level.
With the snakes in Ryuchi Cave added to the mix, they are fully capable of taking on challenges beyond their level.
Overall, this is a very strong ninja unit.
They could become one of the two elite forces or flagship units of Konoha, just like the puppeteer unit of Sunagakure.
Kitazawa had considered having the ninjas of the Cursed Seal Ninja Squad become contractors of Ryuchi Cave directly, but ultimately did not.
While combining them would be a powerful combination, it seems somewhat wasteful, and the two ninja squads have different roles.
Do you think Mount Myōboku could cooperate with our Konoha Village?
Bei Ze had a sudden thought and asked.
"What do you think?"
Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and asked in return.
She was very familiar with the practices of the three major spirit beast holy sites.
Apart from Shikkotsu Forest, neither Ryuchi Cave nor Mount Myōboku would willingly cooperate with Konoha Village or be driven by ninjas.
"pity."
Kitazawa smiled and returned the scroll to Tsunade.
"Jiraiya is, after all, a contractor of Mount Myōboku."
Tsunade reminded her.
Given Kitazawa's strength, if Ryuchi Cave couldn't stop him, then Mt. Myoboku wouldn't be able to either.
But Jiraiya was caught in the middle, making it difficult for her to handle.
"I see."
Kitazawa said nonchalantly, "Then we'll talk about it later."
He didn't really care, but he had to consider Tsunade to avoid putting her in a difficult position.
"I heard you sent Kabuto to Ryuchi Cave? Does he have the talent to train in Sage Mode?"
Tsunade suddenly thought of something and asked curiously.
"Have."
Kitazawa paused for a moment, then said, "Not only do they have it, but they also have extremely high talent."
"It seems that our Konoha Village will need three ninjas who have mastered Sage Mode."
A smile appeared on Tsunade's face.
She was well aware of the power of Sage Mode.
Jiraiya transformed from an elite Jonin into a powerful figure comparable to a Kage-level ninja thanks to Sage Mode.
"The Akatsuki's only remaining targets are Konoha and Kumogakure."
Tsunade changed the subject, her tone becoming serious, and asked, "Who do you think they'll deal with next?"
"I guess it's Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village)."
Kitazawa said with confidence, "Because Konoha is now more troublesome than Kumogakure."
In the original work, during Pain's invasion, the only people in Konoha Village who could be considered strong were Tsunade and Naruto Uzumaki.
At most, we'll add elite Jonin like Kakashi Hatake.
In today's Konoha Village, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade are all present.
With Kitazawa added in, that was arguably the strongest period for Konoha since Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.
If the Akatsuki wants to attack Konoha, they will likely pull off some moves not seen in the original work, such as a large-scale battle.
"Kumakushi Village is not weak."
Tsunade said thoughtfully, "The Akatsuki will probably come out in full force at that time."
Her idea was simple: to learn about the full strength of the Akatsuki through the Hidden Cloud Village.
What were the reactions from the other ninja villages?
Kitazawa asked with some curiosity.
"No response yet."
Tsunade shook her head and said, "I guess their thoughts are similar to ours."
"If it were another ninja village, they would definitely ask other ninja villages for help to deal with the Akatsuki together."
Kitazawa chuckled and said.
"That's just how the Fourth Raikage is."
Tsunade paused for a moment and said, "What's more, they repelled the Akatsuki once before."
"However, even if Kumogakure asks for help, other ninja villages may not necessarily agree."
Kitazawa said with a smile.
Currently, only Konoha and Kumogakure have not lost their tailed beasts.
At this time, the other ninja villages were worried about both the Akatsuki organization and the fact that Konoha and Kumogakure were too powerful.
It's no exaggeration to say that what they hope for most right now is that Konoha and Kumogakure also lose their tailed beasts.
"That's true."
Tsunade understood after a moment's thought.
"If both Konoha and Kumogakure fail, then the five great villages will unite."
Kitazawa continued, "If Konoha doesn't fail, the other four villages will unite."
"It seems you don't want the five great ninja villages to unite?"
Tsunade looked at him and asked.
"With Konoha's current strength, it can already become the number one ninja village."
Kitazawa replied, "If that's the case, then there's no need for an alliance."
"Are you confident you can defeat the Akatsuki?"
Tsunade paused for a moment, then asked.
"What? You don't have faith in me?"
Kitazawa walked up to her, patted her thigh, and asked.
"I have confidence."
Tsunade grabbed his wrist and said, "But I don't want anything to happen to you."
"Will not."
Kitazawa then sat on her lap.
He bent down and rested his face against her chest.
A faint, pleasant fragrance wafted over, instantly invigorating him.
"Don't do anything reckless."
Tsunade raised her hand, patted his head, and reminded him.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Kitazawa's gaze fell on her fair and tender skin.
"Don't play dumb."
Tsunade tapped his forehead and said.
