Chapter 24: Teaching in the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I'm Tsunade's Student, Chapter 13

Step one: use Wind Style to cut a leaf.

Step two: use Wind Style to cut a waterfall.

Step three: apply the learned nature transformation to Wind Style jutsu.

"Chakra nature transformation is still a bit early for you. I'll teach you how to enhance your chakra control ability first."

Kitazawa reached out, pointed to a tree not far away, and said, "Focus your chakra into your feet, then climb up."

The Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu actually also involved chakra shape transformation.

But it was only a C-rank jutsu, not a Rasengan, so there was no difficulty in shape transformation; you just needed to make it big and round.

"That simple?"

Sasuke Uchiha couldn't quite believe it.

"Go give it a try."

Kitazawa smiled without saying anything.

He remembered that in the original story, Sasuke Uchiha didn't succeed the first time he climbed a tree.

At that time, he had already graduated, and now, having just enrolled, he would probably fare even worse.

"Watch me climb up on the first try!"

Sasuke Uchiha sensed Kitazawa's lack of trust, snorted softly, and went to the tree.

He attached chakra to his feet, stepped on the surface of the tree, and started walking up.

"Isn't this pretty simple?"

Sasuke Uchiha walked two steps, the corners of his mouth curling up.

But starting with a celebration was destined to lead to no good.

Sasuke Uchiha walked to the middle of the tree, his expression changed, and he fell down.

"How was that?"

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"Th-the tree bark is too slippery!"

Sasuke Uchiha's face flushed red, and he said stubbornly.

He struggled to get up, took a deep breath, and continued to climb the tree.

[Current Mission: Gain the preliminary recognition of your classmate, Sasuke Uchiha.]

[Mission Reward: Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu.]

[Host has completed the mission; reward issued.]

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow, musing that "tsundere" was already out of fashion.

A massive amount of information suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Kitazawa looked at Sasuke Uchiha climbing the tree and thought of a problem.

How should he explain the source of the jutsu rewarded by the system?

Low-level jutsu could be said to have been taught by his deceased team leader and teammates.

After all, sometimes the dead are more useful than the living; there was no way to verify anything.

But high-level jutsu, starting from B-rank, couldn't use this excuse anymore.

There were two ways for a ninja to obtain jutsu: one was being taught by a teacher, and the second was as a reward from the Hidden Leaf.

Kitazawa stroked his chin, falling into deep thought.

[Your lifelong rival, Sasuke Uchiha, is working hard to learn Fire Style; you can't admit defeat either.]

[Current Mission: Master a C-rank difficulty jutsu faster than Sasuke Uchiha.]

[Mission Reward: Manipulated Shuriken Technique.]

[Do you accept?]

The suddenly appearing text made Kitazawa pause.

For him, an ordinary Chunin, to become the lifelong rival of a savior—that was truly... a setup by the system.

Although he was happy to see a new mission, this mission looked simple but was actually not.

Because he had no new jutsu to learn, even if it only required C-rank difficulty.

Should he go find Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Kitazawa rubbed his brow.

He didn't have any achievements right now; going to him rashly would make him seem ungrateful. ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
