Chapter 363

What kind of question is this?

He thought about it carefully before realizing he was asking about his mission to persuade Tsunade to accept treatment for her hemophobia.

"I have some confidence now."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said.

"Not bad."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and said: "It seems handing the mission to Itachi was the correct choice."

"I'm just doing my best."

Kitazawa said quickly.

"How is your medical ninjutsu learning?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped his pipe and asked again.

"With the help of Tsunade-sama and the others, it's going quite smoothly."

Kitazawa said modestly: "I'm currently learning the Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique."

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised an eyebrow.

He was a professor of ninjutsu and naturally understood medical ninjutsu.

If a medical ninja started learning the Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique, it meant he had basically mastered most medical ninjutsu.

"With your strength, Itachi are enough to become a medical Jonin."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused and said: "It's just that the number of missions isn't enough."

"I will work hard."

Kitazawa said immediately.

"But medical Jonin is a bit different."

Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject and said: "Itachi just need enough surgeries; Itachi can record all the surgeries Itachi've performed."

Kitazawa was stunned for a moment.

Although a bit surprised, it was indeed very reasonable.

It was undoubtedly a waste for medical ninjas to go out on missions.

Of course, if it were medical ninjas assigned to ninja squads after graduating from the ninja school, it would be understandable to look at the number of missions.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was clearly considering Kitazawa's special situation, so he used his privilege.

"Thank Itachi, Hokage-sama."

Kitazawa understood and thanked him.

"Do Itachi know about the Nine-Tails?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression became serious.

After talking with Kitazawa, he had already guessed Tsunade's thoughts; she was in an awkward stage.

Once she figured it out, Kitazawa becoming her student was an inevitable thing.

Since he was one of their own, some secrets could be told.

"I've heard of it."

Kitazawa's heart shook; he knew the main event was coming.

He also understood why Hiruzen Sarutobi asked those two questions earlier.

It was to determine his relationship with Tsunade, or rather, to determine if he was a ninja of the Hokage lineage.

"There are nine powerful Tailed Beasts in the ninja world; their specific origins are unknown, perhaps related to the legendary Sage of Six Paths."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly: "And the most powerful Nine-Tails is in our Hidden Leaf Village."

"So that orange tail Naruto saw belongs to the Nine-Tails?"

Kitazawa asked with surprise.

"In order to develop powerful Tailed Beasts, there were jinchuriki, which is sealing the Tailed Beast inside a ninja's body."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was silent for two seconds and said: "Naruto is the jinchuriki of this generation."

"No wonder so many people hate Naruto and consider him a monster."

Kitazawa pretended to have a sudden realization.

"Naruto's identity should have been highly confidential; it's just that Danzo's ideas differed from mine, and he spread the matter."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and said: "Although I have punished him, many villagers and ninjas still had misunderstandings."

"So that's how it is."

Kitazawa nodded.

Whether Hiruzen Sarutobi was telling the truth or not, he had to believe it.

But from another aspect, the "Pot Shadow" Shimura Danzo could indeed do such things.

"I'm telling Itachi this because I hope Itachi can pay more attention to Naruto in your daily life."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice: "Once he has a Nine-Tails chakra leak, notify me immediately; this concerns the safety of the Hidden Leaf Village."

"I understand!"

Kitazawa said seriously.

"As for the Nine-Tails matter, don't tell Naruto for now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment and said: "Wait until Tsunade cures her hemophobia."

Kitazawa secretly thought, as expected.

Now that Tsunade was in the village, Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of her first when it came to who should teach Uzumaki Naruto to control Nine-Tails chakra.

When it came to understanding Nine-Tails chakra, Tsunade wasn't any worse than Jiraiya.

After all, she had a close relationship with both Mito Uzumaki and Kushina Uzumaki, the two previous Nine-Tails jinchuriki.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

The only pity for Kitazawa was that this mission couldn't be completed immediately.

This was probably where the difficulty of this mission lay.

"By the way, Itachi can tell Tsunade about this."

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly thought of something and said.

"Tsunade-sama should already know."

Kitazawa replied: "For this monthly exam, I invited Tsunade-sama to watch."

"What was her reaction?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned for a moment and asked.

"She left the arena early."

Kitazawa felt a subtlety.

It seemed he and Hiruzen Sarutobi were working together to set a trap for Tsunade.

"Thank Itachi for your hard work; Itachi may go."

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed, waved his hand, and said.

"Yes."

Kitazawa turned and left the Hokage building.

Entering October, summer had completely ended, and it didn't feel hot even at noon.

Kitazawa found Tsunade in a private room at an izakaya.

"Itachi... how did Itachi know I was here?"

Tsunade had been drinking for a while, and her exquisite face was covered in a flush.

"I guessed."

Kitazawa spread his hands and said.

In fact, Shizune told him.

"Co... coming is also fine."

Tsunade pushed the wine cup in her hand towards him and said: "Let's drink together!"

Kitazawa subconsciously scanned it and saw the lipstick mark on the wine cup.

"Why... why are Itachi being so hesitant?"

Seeing him hesitate, Tsunade immediately stood up, stuffed the wine cup into his mouth, and poured it directly in.

"..."

Kitazawa didn't even react before subconsciously swallowing it.

"How... how is this wine?"

Tsunade sat down with a thud, her neckline half-exposed, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.

She had taken off her tea-green outer coat and was only wearing a sleeveless top.

Coupled with her being drunk, she appeared very generous.

"It's quite good."

Kitazawa tasted the flavor and sat opposite her.

It was just that this "auto-aim" was really hard to turn off.

"Just drinking is no fun."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and asked: "Want to play a drinking game?"

"Bet!"

Tsunade immediately sat up straight.

But because she was half-drunk, her body soon softened again.

That heavy fat cushion was placed on the wine table.

"Let's change the rules."

Kitazawa smiled and said: "The person who loses the bet must answer a question first; if they can't answer, they have to drink."

"Itachi... Itachi talk too much... start quickly!"

Tsunade put down the wine cup, raised her hands, and said.

"If Itachi lose, I ask Itachi a question."

Kitazawa didn't even look at the result and said directly.

"Damn it!"

Tsunade bit her finger, unwilling, and said: "Ask away."

"What do Itachi think of Naruto?"

Kitazawa pondered for a moment and asked.

"What... what else could I think?"

Tsunade picked up the wine cup and drank it in one gulp, saying: "He's an idiot!"

"Then what about Nawaki?"

Kitazawa asked again.

"..."

Tsunade suddenly regretted telling Kitazawa about Nawaki earlier.
