Chapter 513

But what kind of S-rank mission is in the capital of the Land of Fire? Could it be related to the Daimyo?

"Itachi all go back and prepare well; we depart next Monday."

Kitazawa reminded them, "This mission will likely delay us for quite a long time, so prepare for half a month."

"Yes, Teacher Kitazawa."

The three of them, including Kabuto Yakushi, answered in unison.

"See Itachi next Monday."

Kitazawa parted ways with them at the entrance of the Hokage Building.

"Kitazawa?"

Hearing the door open, Kurenai Yuhi instinctively turned her head toward the entrance.

When she saw it was indeed Kitazawa, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Why are Itachi back at this hour?"

Kurenai Yuhi asked while practicing the Four-Limb Heavy Seal.

Although they were on break, due to the winter special training, Kitazawa usually didn't return home until five or six in the evening, just like on normal days.

But now, it was not even ten in the morning.

"I just accepted an S-rank mission from the Hokage."

Kitazawa walked forward, admiring her graceful body, and said with a smile.

Kurenai Yuhi was wearing a silk nightgown at home.

The silk nightgown was very thin, and worn on her body, it perfectly accentuated her curvaceous silhouette.

"Why is it an S-rank mission?"

Kurenai Yuhi's gaze sharpened as she asked.

"It's a mission to support Asuma."

Kitazawa explained the details of the mission to her.

"This mission is too dangerous; I'm coming with Itachi."

Kurenai Yuhi said without hesitation.

"Hmm."

Kitazawa paused and spoke about his previous thoughts.

"I'll listen to Itachi."

Kurenai Yuhi understood what he meant.

Showing off his strength to make him retreat in the face of difficulty was undoubtedly the best method.

After all, she didn't want to become a total enemy with Asuma Sarutobi; they were classmates, after all.

"We depart next Monday."

Kitazawa walked forward, wrapped his arms around her waist, and said.

"Next Monday? The timing is just right."

Kurenai Yuhi curled her lips slightly and said with a smile, "We can celebrate your birthday before leaving."

"I would have forgotten that Sunday is the twenty-first if Itachi hadn't mentioned it."

Kitazawa turned his head and kissed her delicate cheek, saying, "Thank Itachi."

He actually didn't care much about birthdays.

After all, he was a lone wolf.

But this year, with Kurenai Yuhi, it would certainly be much livelier than in previous years.

"What gift do Itachi want?"

Kurenai Yuhi kissed him back and asked.

"Who asks that directly?"

Kitazawa patted her hip and asked, "Are Itachi trying to be lazy?"

"I just don't want to waste anything."

Kurenai Yuhi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Fine, I'll take a loss and give Itachi the gift Itachi want most."

"The gift I want most?"

Kitazawa asked with some confusion, "What is it? How come I don't know?"

To be fair, he lacked nothing now; at the very least, Kurenai Yuhi had already given him everything she should.

"It's a secret."

Kurenai Yuhi licked the corner of her mouth and said, "Itachi'll know when the time comes."
