Chapter 529

Kitazawa did not pursue, casually dissipating the Rasengan and sheathing his ninja sword.

Although he had learned many ninjutsu, this did not include sword techniques, or rather, swordsmanship.

Kitazawa felt he should find time to learn the Konoha-style swordsmanship.

Otherwise, the ninja sword gifted to him by Hinata Hyuga would gather dust.

Asuma Sarutobi looked at him with suspicion and uncertainty.

The Second Hokage's Water Style, the Fourth's Rasengan, plus Tsunade's super strength.

This is truly insane!

How did an ordinary ninja academy teacher become the successor of the Hokage in the blink of an eye?

Compared to him, he, the son of the Third Hokage, seemed to be the one who was incompetent.

After all, he hadn't learned a single one of the ninjutsu that Hiruzen Sarutobi excelled at.

"Still fighting?"

Kitazawa chuckled and asked.

"I have one more ninjutsu."

Asuma Sarutobi was silent for two seconds before saying, "If Itachi can take this, I'll admit defeat."

After he finished speaking, he put away his pair of chakra blades.

Welcome Senju Slaughter!

Asuma Sarutobi clapped his hands together, and his entire body's chakra surged out.

Golden light illuminated the sky, and a nearly ten-meter-tall Thousand-Armed Guanyin appeared behind him.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"

Kurenai Yuhi, Kabuto Yakushi, and the others showed expressions of confusion and shock.

It was their first time seeing Welcome Senju Slaughter.

But they were certain that this was definitely not a ninjutsu of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Kitazawa recognized it at a glance.

This was a secret technique of the Fire Temple, called the Talent of the Immortal Clan.

Kitazawa suspected it had some connection to Sage Mode, but the power of the Talent of the Immortal Clan was far inferior to Sage Mode.

Eight Inner Gates! Open Gate, open!

Kitazawa could have used the Konoha Body Flicker Technique to dodge, but there was no need.

With the opening of the Eight Inner Gates, the chakra within his body began to boil.

"Itachi even know the Eight Inner Gates?"

Seeing this, Asuma Sarutobi was shocked once again.

Although he had already been shocked many times today.

Asuma Sarutobi gritted his teeth, and the Thousand-Armed Guanyin behind him began to move.

A thousand hands clenched into fists, all of them swinging toward Kitazawa.

Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!

With a bang.

Amidst the smoke, twenty Kitazawas appeared.

Wind Style: Rasengan!

They immediately rushed toward Asuma Sarutobi, with Rasengans infused with Wind Style chakra appearing in their hands.

Facing the dense barrage of fists, twenty Wind Style: Rasengans smashed out together.

In an instant, blinding light filled everyone's vision.

What followed was a series of chain explosions.

Under the attack of the Wind Style: Rasengans, the arms of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin were cut away and disintegrated inch by inch, as if they were made of wood.

In less than a second, the originally golden Thousand-Armed Guanyin became dim and subsequently shattered.

Asuma Sarutobi's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but collapse to the ground.

He looked at Kitazawa, feeling incredulous once again.

Twenty shadow clones plus twenty Wind Style: Rasengans—just how much chakra does Kitazawa have to squander like this?

At the very least, he couldn't do it at all.

Asuma Sarutobi couldn't help but feel dejected.

After this battle, he understood how vast the gap was between himself and Kitazawa.

This is a total disaster!

His strength is inferior, his looks are inferior, and even his status has become evenly matched.

He is the son of the Third, and Kitazawa is Tsunade's student; he is no worse than him at all.

"Are Itachi hurt?"

Kitazawa dispelled the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu and arrived in front of Asuma Sarutobi.

He extended his hands, and pale green chakra surged out.

"Mystical Palm Technique?"

Asuma Sarutobi opened his mouth, completely at a loss for what to say.

Being able to learn the Mystical Palm Technique proved that Kitazawa was at least a Jonin in medical ninjutsu alone.

Not to mention he also possessed Water Style, Rasengan, Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, the Eight Inner Gates, and other ninjutsu.

"Thank Itachi."

Asuma Sarutobi stood up and said, "Your strength is indeed much greater than mine."

"Then can we help Itachi now?"

Kitazawa was still thinking about the mission given by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After all, only by completing this mission could he complete the system's mission.

"Naturally."

Asuma Sarutobi took a deep breath and said, "With your help, we can wipe out Kazuma and the others in one fell swoop."

"We will follow your arrangements."

Kitazawa nodded and said.

"Let's go inside to talk."

Asuma Sarutobi glanced at Kurenai Yuhi, but in the end, he didn't ask any more questions.

The group returned to the palace.

"The Guardian Shinobi are now completely split."

Asuma Sarutobi said slowly, "Because of several conflicts with us, Kazuma and the others moved to another palace to live."

"If we kill them directly, will the Daimyo of the Land of Fire agree?"

Kitazawa asked directly.

"He will not."

Asuma Sarutobi shook his head and said, "That's why we have been waiting for an opportunity—an opportunity for Kazuma to make a mistake."

Kitazawa's heart stirred, and he recalled the plot from the original work.

Asuma Sarutobi and the others did indeed wait for an opportunity.

That was when Kazuma, for some unknown reason, went to assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"Waiting for an opportunity is ultimately too slow."

Kitazawa said with a smile, "I have a plan that can create an opportunity."

He thought of his Pseudo-Transformation Technique.

A ninjutsu that can replicate a target's appearance, ninjutsu, and thoughts.

"What method do Itachi have?"

Asuma Sarutobi asked hurriedly.

"I can make Kazuma and the others be loathed by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire."

Kitazawa replied.

"Are Itachi sure?"

Asuma Sarutobi was stunned and added, "And we must ensure the Daimyo of the Land of Fire does not suspect us."

"I can do all of that."

Kitazawa said with a serious face.

"If it is truly as Itachi say, Itachi will have done us a great favor!"

Asuma Sarutobi suppressed his distrust and said.

"Kitazawa is very capable."

Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but say.

Asuma Sarutobi's expression stiffened upon hearing this.

Pain!

Too much pain!

From the moment they met, Kurenai Yuhi had been speaking up for Kitazawa, and there was even a sense of admiration in her words.

"Besides that, there is one more thing."

Asuma Sarutobi steadied himself and said, "Kazuma has been missing for about a week, and I suspect he is secretly preparing something."

"Missing?"

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow and asked, "Even Itachi can't find him?"

"I can't."

Asuma Sarutobi said with some embarrassment.

Kitazawa was thoughtful, recalling Kazuma's ninjutsu.

Could it be that resurrection technique known as the ultimate Earth Style?

Earth Style: Creation of the Dead Soil.

Its effect is to resurrect corpses in the soil to become the user's puppets.

Combined with the Earth Style Reincarnation Technique, it allows the resurrected corpses to use all the power they had in life.

Thinking of this, Kitazawa had an idea.

Because the dead soil is not ordinary soil, but soil filled with death energy.

What place is filled with death energy?

Naturally, a graveyard.

"Understood. Then we will first find Kazuma, and then sow discord between them and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire."

Kitazawa summarized.

"Itachi have a way to find Kazuma?"

Asuma Sarutobi was shocked and asked subconsciously.

"I have a way, but whether it will work, it's hard to say."
