That was precisely why Kitazawa hadn’t bothered assigning the task to Itachi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mission with no real challenge simply didn’t suit Itachi’s caliber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Kitazawa pushed open the office door, he spotted Konan seated on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did you return?\" Kitazawa chuckled. \"Why didn’t you tell me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came back last night,\" Konan replied. \"It was late—I didn’t want to disturb you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa walked up and lightly pinched her cheek. \"How did things go over the past half month?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pretty smoothly,\" Konan answered calmly, already accustomed to his casual teasing. \"We’ll need a bit more time to see the full effects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa nodded. \"If any issues arise, let me know immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he studied her, a thought crossed Kitazawa’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the water trade, was it possible that Sunagakure and Amegakure might eventually clash?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Sunagakure didn’t know that the Akatsuki stood behind Rain. From their perspective, Sand was overwhelmingly stronger—victory would seem inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if a conflict did break out, it wouldn’t directly affect Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Kitazawa felt the real priority was still strengthening himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his power reached a certain level, others fighting each other would only benefit Konoha—providing a perfect excuse to intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go call Antelope,\" Kitazawa said, extending a hand. \"I have an assignment for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konan stood, walked to the door, then paused—remembering something—and slipped on her ANBU mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Antelope knocked and entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Investigate Fujikaze Yukie,\" Kitazawa said after a moment’s thought. \"Report back to me next Friday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next Friday happened to coincide with the Genius Class’s second monthly exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lord Kitazawa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Antelope bowed lightly and departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa sank into thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this trip to the Land of Snow, he intended to bring Haku.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Ice Release, Haku would gain a natural advantage in a snowy environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other two members, Kitazawa hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he wasn’t planning to bring Sasuke or Naruto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main antagonist of this mission—Kazahana Dotō—was only of average strength.
