Chapter 200

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and sighed, "With your strength, staying at the Ninja Academy as a teacher is indeed a bit of a waste."

"There are many ninjas in the Hidden Leaf Village stronger than me."

Kitazawa said with a hint of confidence, "But when it comes to teaching, they can't compare to me; the school is more suitable for me."

"Itachi're not wrong about that."

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but smile and said.

He glanced at Mizuki's corpse and put it back into the summoning storage scroll.

"Kitazawa."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at him, observing his expression, and said, "According to the rules, Mizuki will be sent to the Analysis Team to have his memories read."

"I understand."

Kitazawa said with a normal expression.

"Do Itachi have any arrangements for Naruto recently?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to the Hokage's chair and asked with a smile.

"In terms of taijutsu, Naruto is following Might Guy, so there's no need to worry."

Kitazawa replied, "But in terms of actual combat, he is slightly lacking, so recently it's been actual combat training."

"Actual combat? That's indeed a good arrangement."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly and said, "If there's nothing else, go down and hand in the mission."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Kitazawa went downstairs and arrived at the mission hall.

The reward for a B-rank mission is between 50, 00 and 150, 00.

The mission Kitazawa accepted involved two Chunin, so it was 150, 00 ryo.

Mizuki was dead, so he enjoyed the 150, 00 ryo alone.

Even a mosquito's leg is meat.

Although Kitazawa didn't lack money now, there was no reason to pass up 150, 00 ryo.

Speaking of which, the largest sum of money he had now came from Hyuga Hinata.

Kitazawa shook his head and left the Hokage building.

"Itachi're back? How was it? Were Itachi injured?"

As soon as Kurenai Yuhi saw him, she asked three questions in a row.

"Do I look like I have any problems?"

Kitazawa spread his hands and asked back.

"Did Mizuki not make a move on Itachi?"

Kurenai Yuhi scanned him and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Not only did he make a move, he also hired two rogue Chunin, but now they are all corpses."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"They deserved it."

Kurenai Yuhi gave a light huff and said, "It's good that Itachi're fine."

"I've already handed Mizuki's corpse to the Hokage."

Kitazawa looked at her shared indignation, poked her cheek, and said, "This matter is over, no need to pay attention to it anymore."

"Mm."

Kurenai Yuhi nodded and said.

"I'm going to read; notify me when Tsunade-sama arrives."

Kitazawa said and went upstairs.

One week of the two weeks had passed, and he still had half of his book left.

If he didn't read it quickly, he might not complete the task given by Tsunade.

Time came to the next day, which was Sunday.

Kitazawa originally thought it would be the same as usual, reading or discussing new ninjutsu with Tsunade and the others, but he didn't expect an uninvited guest.

"Kitazawa."

Anbu ninja Haru stood at the door and said, "Hokage-sama asks Itachi to come over."

Could it be that his trap to kill Mizuki had been exposed?

But Kitazawa thought about it and felt it was impossible.

After all, he was in a passive state throughout the whole thing and didn't get any blame.

And if it were really exposed, Haru wouldn't be so polite; she would have taken him down the moment she opened the door.

"Alright."

Kitazawa closed the door and followed Haru to the Hokage's office.

"Kitazawa."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up, "The Analysis Team has read Mizuki's memories; it was indeed his own fault."

"Alright."

Kitazawa was completely at ease.

With Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Mizuki had completely become history.

"Mizuki was the head teacher of Class 2-A."

Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject and asked, "Now that he's dead, which teacher do Itachi think should take over?"

"It's all up to the Hokage's arrangement."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said.

"Can Itachi take it on concurrently?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a smile.

"Sorry, Hokage-sama."

Kitazawa was stunned for two seconds and refused, "I'm currently focusing on teaching Class 1-A and don't have enough time."

Of course, being busy wasn't the problem; the problem was there was no benefit.

His system identified him as a student of Class 1-A.

If he ran to Class 2-A, this idiot system might think he had transferred classes.

Then he would lose the high-quality mission triggers like Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.

"I know Itachi're busy, so Itachi only need to take it on concurrently."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused and said, "A new teacher will be transferred to Class 2-A; his name is Terai."

Terai?

Kitazawa was slightly stunned; he felt it sounded familiar.

After thinking for a few seconds, his mouth twitched.

Terai, in the original story, was a member of the Root, and his only role was being ordered by Danzo Shimura to hunt down Kabuto Yakushi.

Is this a coincidence of names?

Kitazawa didn't want to be targeted by Danzo Shimura and his Root.

"He is a member of the Root."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stated directly, "Danzo originally wanted him to replace Itachi as the head teacher of your class, but I refused and, citing a shortage of personnel in Class 2-A, had him become the teacher for Class 2-A."

Kitazawa felt a headache.

"Don't worry, I'm still the one who calls the shots at the Ninja Academy."

Hiruzen Sarutobi saw his concerns and comforted him.

He was well aware of Danzo Shimura's reputation in the Hidden Leaf Village; it was truly foul-smelling and everyone was terrified of him.

"Your task is very simple: just monitor Terai. Once Danzo knows it's not feasible, he will naturally transfer him back."

Hiruzen Sarutobi added.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Kitazawa nodded and agreed.

This matter really didn't have any danger.

No matter how arrogant Danzo Shimura was, Hiruzen Sarutobi always kept him in check.

And Kitazawa knew he wasn't Danzo Shimura's target; he guessed it was mostly Yakumo Kurama.

After all, her genjutsu Kekkei Genkai was simply too strong.

Plus, the Kurama clan had already declined and could be easily manipulated by Danzo Shimura.

Just as Kitazawa was about to leave, four lines of text suddenly appeared before his eyes.

As a genius, Itachi should dominate the Ninja Academy; Class 2-A will be your first step.】

Current mission: Defeat the strongest student of Class 2-A, Neji Hyuga.】

Mission reward: Increase Byakugan purity by 10%.】

Do Itachi accept?】

Kitazawa couldn't help but be stunned.

This is possible too?
