Chapter 228

In an instant, pale green chakra extended rapidly, turning into a shimmering, sharp blade.

Although it was called a Chakra Scalpel, unlike a physical scalpel, it cut through the nervous system or muscle tissue.

And it could cut without causing external wounds.

Used for treatment, it was for quickly removing necrotic tissue and sealing bleeding points in internal organs, etc.

But used in combat, it was quite insidious, aimed directly at paralyzing the enemy.

Kitazawa nodded with satisfaction; tonight was a huge profit.

If he could complete tasks so easily, he would be willing to accompany Tsunade for drinks and chats every day.

Kitazawa closed his eyes and drifted into dreamland.

A new day, Thursday, he woke up on time at 7: 0 AM.

Kitazawa stretched, changed his clothes, washed up, and headed toward the Ninja Academy.

Halfway there, he suddenly saw four familiar figures.

Might Guy, Naruto Uzumaki, Rock Lee, and Sasuke Uchiha.

Kitazawa stopped to observe.

The three wearing green spandex were full of energy, occasionally shouting about youth.

But Sasuke Uchiha's face was pale, his teeth clenched, and he could barely keep up with them.

"Sasuke?"

Naruto Uzumaki turned back and asked, "Is your stamina reserve still sufficient?"

"Just worry about yourself!"

Sasuke Uchiha caught his breath and said stubbornly.

"We're almost at the finish line!"

Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs up and said, "Sasuke, burning youth is waiting for Itachi!"

"If Itachi say two more words, I'll catch up to Itachi!"

Sasuke Uchiha said with a very unhappy face.

"Then I'll say two more words!"

Naruto Uzumaki took it seriously and said, "Sasu..."

"Shut up!"

Sasuke Uchiha finally couldn't help but glare at him.

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head, looking confused.

Sasuke Uchiha ignored him, thinking about the techniques Might Guy had taught him, and his body suddenly burst with new potential, increasing his speed.

"As expected of Sasuke!"

Naruto Uzumaki saw this, his spirits lifted, and he said, "Watch me! Youth Charge!"

He dashed forward and caught up.

"No!"

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes widened.

Even though the finish line was right in front of him, a blond-haired kid had arrived a step before him.

After Sasuke Uchiha crossed the finish line, he sat on the ground.

He was covered in sweat, panting continuously.

With his stamina, running for an hour straight was truly killing him.

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at Might Guy and the others, his mouth twitching, and he cursed them as animals.

He finally understood why Naruto Uzumaki could steadily outperform him in taijutsu and physical fitness.

With this inhuman training, plus his outrageous body, it would be strange if he didn't win.

Sasuke Uchiha felt that taijutsu didn't suit him; at most, it was used to strengthen the body, and the key point still lay in ninjutsu.

Kitazawa watched for a while, then withdrew his gaze and headed toward the Ninja Academy.

"Teacher Kitazawa!"

Upon hearing the door open, Hinata Hyuga's eyes lit up, she jumped off the sofa, and ran to Kitazawa.

"Good morning, Hinata."

Kitazawa patted her head and said.

Hinata Hyuga squinted her eyes, enjoying his touch like a little kitten.

"Come over and eat."

Kitazawa took out the breakfast he had bought and placed it on the coffee table one by one.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Hinata Hyuga said happily, "Father praised me again yesterday."

"Praised Itachi for what?"

Kitazawa handed her a rice ball and asked casually.

"Said my Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms is progressing very quickly."

Hinata Hyuga took a bite of the rice ball, her mouth curling slightly, and said, "I can already perform the first four palms in a row!"

"That's indeed good."

Kitazawa looked at her smiling face and found it hard to imagine the shy and introverted her from before.

Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms was not sixty-four types of taijutsu; in fact, these sixty-four palms were one type of taijutsu.

It required continuous strikes in an instant to seal the chakra in the enemy's sixty-four acupoints.

It emphasized speed and continuity.

Simply using one palm didn't have much significance.

Hinata Hyuga being able to perform the first four palms in a row could be considered barely having entered the door.

Plus, she was only six years old, so one could imagine Hiashi Hyuga's mood.

"There's one more thing!"

Hinata Hyuga swung her little feet, in a happy mood, and said, "Hanabi called me sister for the first time today!"

"Then Itachi must take on the responsibilities of a sister from now on."

Kitazawa smiled and said.

He remembered that in the original work, the relationship between Hinata Hyuga and Hanabi Hyuga was quite good.

"Mm!"

Hinata Hyuga nodded heavily.

"Do Itachi have any plans for the summer vacation?"

Kitazawa suddenly thought of the summer vacation next month.

"No."

Hinata Hyuga shook her head and said.

"Then would Itachi like to participate in Teacher's special training during the summer vacation?"

Kitazawa asked with a smile.

"Yes!"

Hinata Hyuga said without hesitation.

"Mm."

Kitazawa nodded and said, "I'll notify Itachi after the final exams are over."

"Okay."

Hinata Hyuga felt a leap of joy in her heart.

After breakfast, Kitazawa went to the classroom of Class A, first grade, to teach.

As for Hinata Hyuga, she went directly to the training ground to practice her fist.

With her were Sakura Haruno, Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Sasuke Uchiha.

Tsunade woke up.

She subconsciously sat up, pressed her forehead, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

She had drunk too much alcohol last night, and waking up today, she felt uncomfortable all over.

Fortunately, she had the Strength of a Hundred Seal.

The Strength of a Hundred Seal, as an S-rank medical sealing ninjutsu, had a very abnormal effect.

One of the effects was that it could keep the body in a peak state anytime, anywhere, including eternal youth.

As the Strength of a Hundred Seal took effect, Tsunade quickly returned to normal.

She looked left and right and couldn't help but frown.

"How did I get back yesterday?"

Tsunade shook her head, and fragmented memories surfaced in her mind.

From Kitazawa treating her to a drink, to her telling the story of Nawaki, to Kitazawa finally seeing her home.

Tsunade couldn't help but be stunned.

Did she actually do so many things last night?

"Why did I even talk about Nawaki?"

Tsunade scratched her golden hair and sighed, "Drinking ruins things."

But since she had said it, she had said it; it was no big deal.

Tsunade's personality was naturally free and easy, and she quickly put it behind her.

But thinking of Kitazawa, she felt a subtle feeling in her heart.

Although nothing happened last night, it invisibly narrowed the distance between the two.

"This kid is not bad."

Tsunade got out of bed, changed her clothes, and left the room.

"Lady Tsunade, are Itachi awake?"

Shizune heard footsteps and subconsciously turned to look at her.

"Mm."

Tsunade nodded, walked up, lay directly on the sofa, and asked, "What time is it?"

"Ten in the morning."

Shizune answered.

"Is it that late?"

Tsunade was slightly startled.

"Lady Tsunade, Itachi have the nerve to say that; Itachi didn't get home until almost twelve last night."

Shizune retorted.

She had been with Tsunade for a long time and was already familiar with her personality, so sometimes she would educate her in return.

"I'm hungry, go cook me a bowl of ramen."
