Chapter 289: Teaching at the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I Am Tsunade

With the Shadow Clone Jutsu, even grinding can make one proficient.

"Practice on your own; if Itachi have any questions, come find me."

Kitazawa gave these instructions before walking over to Hyuga Hinata.

"Naruto looks so lively."

Having witnessed the scene just now, Hyuga Hinata couldn't help but comment.

"Do Itachi want to learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu?"

Kitazawa said with a smile, "Just thinking about having so many Hinatas is adorable."

"I... I'll learn it later."

Hyuga Hinata was tempted for a moment, but remained rational, saying, "I need to master the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms first."

"Itachi've already mastered the first six palms. I estimate that by the end of summer break, Itachi'll be able to strike ten palms in one go."

Kitazawa patted her head and said, "Last semester, Neji was far ahead of Itachi."

"Really?"

Hyuga Hinata's eyes brightened, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face.

For the longest time, Neji Hyuga had been a genius far beyond her; she had never imagined there would come a day when she could catch up to him.

"Mm."

Kitazawa responded, then shifted the tone, saying, "But after this summer break, there's no telling how much his strength will improve."

Neji Hyuga mastering the first six palms of the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms was something that happened in the first semester.

During this summer break, he would certainly be practicing.

But self-study and being taught by someone else are two different things.

Neji Hyuga's progress certainly couldn't compare to Hyuga Hinata, who was being taught by Kitazawa and Hiashi Hyuga.

"I will work hard!"

Hyuga Hinata said, full of fighting spirit.

"Let's begin."

Seeing that his words had taken effect, Kitazawa nodded with satisfaction.

He really liked Hyuga Hinata's personality; she seemed fragile, yet she was strong, willing to endure hardship, and could persist no matter how difficult things got.

After lunch, Kitazawa left behind a shadow clone and returned to Kurenai Yuhi's home.

In two weeks—or more accurately, one week and two days—he had learned two genjutsu.

One was the A-rank Nirvana Bliss Jutsu, and the other was the D-rank Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Jutsu.

Now, he only needed one more to complete his mission.

"Kurenai..."

Kitazawa walked into the living room and swallowed the remaining word 'teacher' back into his stomach.

Because besides Kurenai Yuhi, Tsunade and Shizune were also there.

Such an unusual situation made him think of one possibility.

"Is the new ninjutsu a success?"

Kitazawa asked straight to the point.

"I had a burst of inspiration at the casino this morning, and after I got back, I created this ninjutsu."

Tsunade yawned and said lazily.

Kitazawa twitched the corner of his mouth.

What the hell is a "burst of inspiration at the casino"?

Is that the inspiration Itachi get when Itachi've lost all your money and desperately need more?

"As expected of Lady Tsunade, Itachi easily accomplished what we couldn't."

Kitazawa praised her with a sincere look.

"Itachi're not bad yourself."

Tsunade's lips curled slightly; she glanced at him and asked, "I heard from Shizune that Itachi're already learning the Chakra Scalpel?"

"Mm."

Kitazawa nodded.

After he learned the Mystical Palm Technique, Shizune had taught him the Chakra Scalpel.

Although he had already mastered both of these medical ninjutsu through the system.

"So fast?"

Kurenai Yuhi looked astonished.

Kitazawa was learning genjutsu and medical ninjutsu at the same time, and his speed in both was so divine that she found it incomprehensible.

Don't Itachi have any bottlenecks? Learning ninjutsu is as simple as drinking water.

Comparing this to her own speed at learning genjutsu, Kurenai Yuhi felt deeply struck.

"It's fine, Itachi'll get used to it."

Shizune patted her shoulder, feeling a sense of shared misery.

She already had a premonition that it wouldn't be long before she went from being a senior disciple to a junior one.

"What are the effects of this new ninjutsu?"

Kitazawa coughed lightly, bringing the conversation back to the main topic.

"It's similar to Yakumo's terrifying illusion; it creates a genjutsu world and pulls the target inside."

Kurenai Yuhi paused and said, "But it's easily broken by powerful ninja; it can probably be classified as a B-rank genjutsu."

Whereas Yakumo Kurama's terrifying illusion was something even a genjutsu jonin couldn't escape once they realized they were in it, let alone break.

"Then let me give it a name."

Kitazawa suddenly thought of something and asked, "How about 'Mirror Flower, Water Moon'?"
