Chapter 379

Orochimaru counted too, but he had run away.

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, the arrival of Karin Uzumaki and Karin was like adding wings to a tiger for the Hidden Leaf Village.

"Thank Itachi, Lord Hokage!"

Karin Uzumaki said gratefully.

With these words from Hiruzen Sarutobi, the safety of her and her daughter was guaranteed.

At the very least, the Hidden Grass Village would never dare to come bother them again.

"Lina's body is not good, so let her live with me; it will also be convenient for me to treat her body."

Tsunade spoke, her tone sounding indisputable.

"No problem."

Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally had no objections.

He could also see that Karin Uzumaki's body was in poor condition.

"As for Karin, she is at the age for schooling, so transfer her to the first-grade Class A."

Tsunade glanced at Kitazawa and said.

"Kitazawa, Itachi go handle it."

Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed without a second word.

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Kitazawa didn't feel surprised and responded immediately.

"Karin hasn't attended school in the Hidden Grass Village before and has no foundation."

Tsunade ordered, "Kitazawa, when Itachi have time, help her with some tutoring."

She felt deep sympathy for the experiences of Karin Uzumaki and Karin, so she cared about them quite a bit.

【An instruction from your future teacher Tsunade; Itachi should be duty-bound.】

【Current Mission: Help transfer student Karin achieve a top-ten ranking in the semester's theoretical exam.】

【Mission Reward: Four-Limb Heavy Sealing.】

【Do Itachi accept?】

Kitazawa's eyes lit up.

It had to be Tsunade; one sentence gave him another mission.

How should he put this mission?

It had some difficulty, but it was okay.

After all, it was only a top-ten ranking in the theoretical exam, not the practical exam.

Theoretical knowledge could be improved through semi-cheating methods like drilling questions.

The time limit for this mission was also long.

The ninja school had three semesters a year; now it was the second semester, lasting three and a half months.

Now that one month had passed, there were still two and a half months left.

It was just this reward; it could only be said to be okay.

Four-Limb Heavy Sealing, as the name suggests, is a sealing technique used to seal the four limbs of a target, often used to prevent captured enemies from escaping.

However, sealing techniques are like this; most are biased toward support, and there are very few sealing techniques used directly in combat.

"Alright, Lady Tsunade."

Kitazawa accepted the mission and replied.

Karin poked her head out from behind Karin Uzumaki to observe him.

Her red eyes were full of curiosity.

Kitazawa noticed her gaze and returned a smile.

Karin blinked, thinking that this teacher was quite good-looking and felt gentle too.

"Kakashi."

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly remembered something and said, "Give me the mission report for this time."

According to the rules of the Hidden Leaf Village, after a mission is completed, one must write a mission report, recording the process of the mission's completion in detail.

But Tsunade definitely wouldn't write it.

And the Anbu were always rule-abiding and would write it after a mission.

Kakashi Hatake took out a scroll and handed it up upon hearing this.

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened the scroll and began to read.

A moment later, the corner of his mouth twitched.

He knew Tsunade wouldn't be that well-behaved.

Kakashi Hatake didn't know that Tsunade and Kitazawa had whispered to each other, so Kitazawa's behavior became Tsunade's instruction.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't suspect it either, because he felt Kitazawa was a good-natured person who definitely wouldn't have the guts to provoke the Hidden Grass Village.

"Is there a problem?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and asked.

"No problem."

Hiruzen Sarutobi closed the scroll and said.

At this point, blaming Tsunade further would have no meaning.

Moreover, the Hidden Grass Village had indeed gone too far, not to mention deceiving the Hidden Leaf Village, but also abusing Karin Uzumaki.

In short, the Hidden Leaf Village was already standing on the moral high ground and could point fingers.

"Itachi did a good job on this mission; let's set it as S-rank."

Hiruzen Sarutobi began to reward merit, "The mission reward is two million ryo; the four of Itachi will participate in the distribution."

"Including Lina?"

Tsunade looked left and right and asked.

Since it was four people, it definitely didn't include the eight Anbu members.

But she, Shizune, and Kitazawa were only three people.

And the reward for an S-rank mission soaring to two million ryo wasn't reasonable either.

"Mm."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "She is new here and needs money."

"Thank Itachi, Lord Hokage!"

Karin Uzumaki said immediately.

Verbal promises naturally couldn't compare to actual rewards.

Using both methods together had a better effect.

The current Karin Uzumaki could be said to be devoted to the Hidden Leaf Village.

"Good."

Tsunade also knew this was Hiruzen Sarutobi winning people over.

But it was beneficial to Karin Uzumaki, so there was no need to refuse.

"Lina's treatment will require quite a few medicinal herbs."

Tsunade hinted.

"The Hidden Leaf Village will cover it."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said without hesitation.

Although medicinal herbs are expensive, it was definitely not a loss to exchange them for two future sealing technique Jonin.

"Kitazawa, Itachi did very well this time."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kitazawa and said, "Itachi can go collect three B-rank ninjutsu and one A-rank ninjutsu."

Boss, Itachi're generous!

Kitazawa felt happy in his heart and expressed his thanks quickly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had indeed spent a lot of money this time.

One reason was that Karin Uzumaki and Karin were indeed very valuable.

The second reason was that he had already regarded Kitazawa as a ninja of the Hokage's lineage; in other words, his direct ninja.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had always been good to his direct ninjas.

For example, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Minato Namikaze, and so on.

"I'll take Lina and Karin back first."

Seeing that the matter was over, Tsunade didn't linger and turned to leave.

Kakashi Hatake, Itachi Uchiha, and the other Anbu ninjas also disappeared.

"Kitazawa, Itachi go with Haru to collect the ninjutsu."

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and said.

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Kitazawa bowed slightly and walked out.

But just as he exited the Hokage's office, he bumped into Danzo Shimura.

Kitazawa was stunned for a moment.

Could this "Shadow of the Pot" have come for Karin Uzumaki and Karin?

Thinking about it carefully, it was normal.

Danzo Shimura knew the value of the Uzumaki clan very well.

After all, there were already Mito Uzumaki and Kushina Uzumaki before.

Plus the fact that the Uzumaki clan had already been destroyed, Karin Uzumaki and Karin appeared even more precious.

Kitazawa took a look and didn't pay any more attention.

Danzo Shimura was busy going to see Hiruzen Sarutobi and didn't care about him either.

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Danzo Shimura and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

His good mood just now was reduced by more than half.

Without needing to think, he knew the purpose of Danzo Shimura's visit.

But Karin Uzumaki and Karin absolutely could not join the Root.

The Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques had strategic significance, especially against the Nine-Tails.

Kitazawa followed Haru to the ninjutsu storage room.

Looking at the dazzling array of ninjutsu, he fell into a choice dilemma.

There were too many choices, and instead, he didn't know what to choose.

Kitazawa's heart moved, and he opened his personal panel.

The ninjutsu he had mastered the most were medical ninjutsu, genjutsu, Fire Release, and Wind Release.

And these four types were basically already whitewashed and could be used directly, so there was no need to choose any more ninjutsu scrolls.

Kitazawa touched his chin.
