Chapter 508: Teaching in the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I Am Tsunade's Student, Chapter 323
"Tomorrow, come find me at the Ninja Academy, and we'll go to the mission hall together to accept an advanced mission."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, Teacher Kitazawa."
Kabuto Yakushi and the three didn't stay long and turned to leave.
Kitazawa glanced at the students in training, and after confirming there were no problems, he came to the uninhabited Forest of Death outside the village.
Lightning Style: Chidori!
After Kitazawa performed hand seals, he extended his right hand.
A harsh sound of thunder rang out, as if a thousand birds were chirping.
Lightning flashed, and in the blink of an eye, it covered his right hand.
Kitazawa activated his two-tomoe Sharingan and rushed over at extreme speed.
The next second, he arrived in front of a tree in the distance.
Lightning Style: Chidori landed, the trunk shook violently, and suddenly there were deep cracks.
The cracks spread like a spider web, and everywhere they passed, it was charred black.
Kitazawa withdrew his hand, looked at the tree he had pierced, and nodded slightly.
Lightning Style: Chidori had two characteristics: one was fast speed, and the other was piercing power.
Of course, there was also the paralysis effect that came with lightning.
And because Rasengan was non-attribute chakra, it didn't have these characteristics.
But the frontal power it caused was greater.
However, it was about the same; given the high-attack, low-defense constitution of ninjas, being hit by Rasengan or Lightning Style: Chidori without any preparation would result in death or serious injury.
After testing Lightning Style: Chidori, Kitazawa returned to the artificial lake at the school to practice Water Style: Instant Water.
The sun set, and time arrived at dusk.
"Training ends here for today; everyone go back and rest."
Kitazawa clapped his hands and said.
"Goodbye, Teacher Kitazawa!"
Naruto Uzumaki, Kiba Inuzuka, and the others greeted him and turned to leave.
Kitazawa glanced at them subconsciously.
Because they were going back together today, even Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, and Karin were.
Kitazawa withdrew his gaze.
He didn't care and left the Ninja Academy.
At the school gate, he raised an eyebrow, feeling that someone was spying on him.
Kitazawa smiled and continued walking toward Kurenai Yuhi's house.
A moment later, Shikamaru Nara's head poked out from a wall not far away.
He glanced in the direction Kitazawa left and said, "Teacher Kitazawa is gone!"
The next second, the wall shook, and Choji Akimichi popped out.
"Get down!"
Shikamaru Nara's face changed slightly and said, "This wall is going to collapse!"
"Oh."
Choji Akimichi put his feet back on the ground.
"Shikamaru!"
Naruto Uzumaki's voice rang out, "We are here!"
"We'll be over right now."
Shikamaru Nara jumped down and said, "Let's go, Choji."
He and Choji Akimichi hadn't participated in the winter break special training, so they were waiting at the school gate first.
When they saw Kitazawa, they were startled, but fortunately, he hadn't discovered them.
"Shikamaru."
Naruto Uzumaki said with regret, "It's a pity Itachi didn't come to special training with us; we all have new special training now."
"Not a pity, not a pity!"
Shikamaru Nara shook his head quickly and said, "Don't Itachi ever mention me in front of Teacher Kitazawa!"
He had traded this winter break for his top-ten ranking in the final exam.
He wouldn't participate in special training even if he were beaten to death.
"Itachi can escape this winter break, but Itachi can't escape next semester."
Ino Yamanaka said with a smile.
"We'll talk about next semester's matters next semester."
Shikamaru Nara said in a "let it rot" manner, "And I can also practice Yin Release chakra nature transformation at home."
"Itachi're right, but my special training is no longer Yin Release chakra nature transformation practice."
Ino Yamanaka put her hands on her hips and said affirmatively, "Next semester, Itachi will definitely not be my opponent."
Shikamaru Nara couldn't help but be startled.
Over the past two semesters, they had also sparred several times.
Overall, it was six-four; he held a sixty percent chance of winning.
The reason was that the Nara clan's secret technique was more suitable for single use than the Yamanaka clan's secret technique.
What kind of new special training could make her so confident?
Shikamaru Nara just raised his curiosity and then pinched it off.
For him, enjoying winter break was the top priority.
Even if he were beaten up by Ino Yamanaka, that was the future him, not the current him.
"Is everyone here?"
Kiba Inuzuka interrupted their chat and asked.
"Sasuke and Sakura haven't come yet."
Karin looked around and said.
"I've already notified them."
Shikamaru Nara paused and said, "They should be here soon."
Sasuke Uchiha hadn't started special training yet, so he was at home today.
Sakura Haruno's special training hadn't changed; she was still interning at the Hidden Leaf Hospital while learning medical ninjutsu.
"There are three more people not notified."
Shino Aburame adjusted his glasses and said, "Senior Kabuto, Senior Izumi, and Torune."
The three of them formed a ninja squad and became Kitazawa's students, so they were also regarded as "their own" by them.
"Sorry, I forgot to call them."
Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head and said.
"It's okay."
Shino Aburame volunteered and said, "Wait for me for a moment; I'll go find them."
"Ino!"
Sakura Haruno's excited voice rang out.
Ino Yamanaka glanced at her and understood why she was so happy.
Because beside Sakura Haruno, there was also Sasuke Uchiha with his hands in his pockets.
They must have met on the way.
"What's the plan today?"
Sakura Haruno asked curiously, "Hasn't it already been decided what birthday gift to buy?"
"We'll go to the commercial street together to buy a birthday gift."
Ino Yamanaka replied, "After buying the gift, we'll decide how to give it to Teacher Kitazawa."
"Can't we just give it to Teacher Kitazawa on his birthday?"
Sakura Haruno asked in confusion.
"That's true, but we have to try our best to keep it secret so we can give Teacher Kitazawa the biggest surprise."
Ino Yamanaka paused and said, "We'll discuss how to execute it specifically after everyone arrives."
Not long after, Shino Aburame and Kabuto Yakushi and the others appeared before them.
"Sorry to keep Itachi waiting, everyone."
Not long after, Kabuto Yakushi said gently, "I thought Itachi hadn't eaten dinner, so I brought Itachi some snacks."
"Thank Itachi, Senior Kabuto!"
Naruto Uzumaki happily took the takoyaki.
"It's nothing, just a little money."
After Kabuto Yakushi distributed the snacks, he said, "Then let's go to the commercial street now."
Shikamaru Nara rubbed his chin.
He felt that Kabuto Yakushi became the backbone as soon as he arrived.
But it didn't matter; he was older and had more experience than them, so following him could save a lot of time.
"I learned about the situation on the commercial street when I was doing missions earlier."
Kabuto Yakushi said while walking, "There are two gift shops on this street that are very good, high quality and inexpensive, and have a complete range of categories."
Izumi Uchiha and Torune Aburame looked at each other.
When did this happen?
How come they didn't know?
And Itachi had time to learn about the surroundings while doing missions?
"Senior Kabuto, are the missions Itachi do the ones that formal ninjas do?"
Naruto Uzumaki was more interested in missions.
"Not bad."
Kabuto Yakushi said with a smile, "Missions that can make money, accepted at the mission hall."
"Can Itachi encounter very powerful enemies?"
Naruto Uzumaki asked excitedly.
Kiba Inuzuka, Karin, and the others also looked at Kabuto Yakushi.
They were all full of curiosity about the real life of a ninja.
"That depends on the mission level."
Kabuto Yakushi popularized the five levels of missions for them.
"Is that so?"
Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head and said, "I thought we could do advanced missions as soon as we graduated."
