Chapter 546: Teaching in the Hokage's Village, the System Says I'm Tsunade's Student, Chapter 350

Tsunade waved her hand and said: "I don't need it."

"Itachi don't need it?"

Jiraiya subconsciously looked at Kitazawa.

"I, Lady Tsunade, Senior Sister Shizune, and Mrs. Rina are spending it together."

Kitazawa said with a calm expression.

"And who is Rina?"

Jiraiya scratched his head and asked.

"Since Itachi are away from the Hidden Leaf Village for long periods, naturally Itachi don't know what has been happening here."

Tsunade gave a light huff, sounding somewhat dissatisfied.

Kitazawa blinked.

In truth, Tsunade was not much different from Jiraiya.

If he hadn't proposed the psychological medical ninja program, she would have had to wait until Naruto Uzumaki graduated and sought her out before she ever returned to the village.

Of course, he didn't dare say this out loud, lest he suffer the same fate as Jiraiya.

"If Itachi want to ask something, go find the old man."

Tsunade turned around and casually closed the door.

Jiraiya rubbed his nose, feeling a bit dejected.

He hesitated for two seconds, decided not to disturb Tsunade further, and after greeting Kitazawa, he headed to the Hokage's office.

"Old man, looking at your crystal ball again? Why not lend it to me for a couple of days?"

A sudden voice rang out from his side.

Hiruzen Sarutobi subconsciously covered the crystal ball in front of him, only letting out a sigh of relief once he recognized whose voice it was.

"This Hokage's office is still the same as ever."

Jiraiya jumped down from the window and walked up to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Can't Itachi ever use the door?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a stern face: "Just like Tsunade, always so disrespectful!"

"Next time for sure!"

Jiraiya looked completely indifferent.

"Forget it, Itachi wouldn't listen anyway."

Hiruzen Sarutobi put away the crystal ball and asked: "Have Itachi found the Child of Prophecy?"

"No."

Jiraiya shook his head and said.

Mount Myoboku, one of the three great holy lands for summoning beasts, is led by the Great Toad Sage, who possesses the ability to foresee the future.

In its prophecy, among the students Jiraiya takes on, one will possess the ability to transform the entire ninja world.

But if not guided properly, this student could also destroy the ninja world.

This student is naturally the Child of Prophecy.

And in order to guide him, Jiraiya has been searching the ninja world for him.

"Itachi've searched for so many years and haven't found him; perhaps the Child of Prophecy doesn't exist at all."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly: "Since Itachi've returned to the Hidden Leaf Village, why not stay?"

"Sorry, old man, I must find the Child of Prophecy."

Jiraiya was silent for two seconds before saying very firmly: "The Child of Prophecy exists!"

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was instantly speechless.

Jiraiya, whether in terms of strength or status, was not much inferior to Tsunade.

If he had stayed in the Hidden Leaf Village, the outcome of many events might have been completely different.

For example, the Nine-Tails incident.

"I just went to see Tsunade."

Jiraiya changed the subject and asked: "Who is this Kitazawa? How did he become Tsunade's half-student?"

"See for yourself."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pulled out Kitazawa's file and handed it to him.

Jiraiya took the file and began to read.

At first, he was calm, but the further he read, the more astonished he became.

There was no helping it; Kitazawa's transformation was truly startling.

In less than a year, he went from an ordinary ninja academy teacher to an elite jonin proficient in medical ninjutsu, genjutsu, and water-style techniques.

Jiraiya felt a sense of déjà vu, because he had been the same way back then.

Among the Legendary Sannin, his talent was the worst, and it wasn't until he accidentally stumbled into Mount Myoboku that his strength made leaps and bounds.

But what was Kitazawa's stroke of luck? Or was it simply a case of a late bloomer?

"No wonder Tsunade returned to the village."

Seeing the psychological medical ninja system, Jiraiya couldn't help but exclaim.

In fact, he hadn't expected to run into Tsunade when he returned to the village this time.

After all, Tsunade, like him, had been wandering the ninja world.

He had been surprised to hear she was in the Hidden Leaf Village earlier, but he hadn't had time to ask why before being blasted out.

"This psychological medical ninja system will likely benefit many ninjas."

Jiraiya's pupils suddenly constricted as he thought of something, and he asked impatiently: "Can it also treat Tsunade's hemophobia?"

"Hmm."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said: "I've already had Kitazawa and the others start working on it, but whether it will succeed is hard to say."

"If Tsunade's hemophobia can be successfully treated, that would be wonderful!"

As Tsunade's teammate, Jiraiya was well aware of the origin of her hemophobia and the pain it caused.

He hoped more than anyone that the hemophobia could be cured.

"Kitazawa is indeed qualified to be Tsunade's student."

Jiraiya put down Kitazawa's file and commented.

He didn't ask what Kitazawa's stroke of luck was, because there was no need.

Kitazawa was now Tsunade's half-student, a high-level official in the Hidden Leaf Village, and the vice-principal of the ninja academy.

He had enough strength and status to have his own secrets.

Besides, Kitazawa had already passed the dual tests of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade, so there were no issues.

"Hmm."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and added with satisfaction: "He is also a very outstanding ninja academy teacher."

"No matter how outstanding a ninja academy teacher is, that's all they are."

Jiraiya said dismissively.

It wasn't like he hadn't gone to school.

In his view, the level of ninja academy teachers was quite average; teaching the Three Basic Jutsu was the limit.

"Take a look at this."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took out the file for the Genius Class and handed it to him.

"Genius Class?"

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow and quickly flipped through it.

"How is it?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a chuckle.

"A very good reform."

Jiraiya had to admit: "If we had a Genius Class back then, maybe we could have defeated Hanzo."

The Legendary Sannin's fame was earned during the Second Shinobi World War, when the three of them fought against Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village.

But at the time, they had actually been defeated miserably.

Aside from them, every other ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village had died at Hanzo's hands.

Even the title "Legendary Sannin" had been bestowed upon them by Hanzo.

In a sense, the Legendary Sannin was a mark of shame.

However, because the name had spread so widely, the three of them had no choice but to let it be.

"Who is Rina?"

Jiraiya asked again.

"Rina Uzumaki, a survivor of the Uzumaki clan."

Hiruzen Sarutobi explained: "Tsunade and Kitazawa brought her back from the Hidden Grass Village."

"There are still members of the Uzumaki clan left?"

Jiraiya looked surprised.

"I didn't expect it either."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with relief: "Fortunately, Kitazawa discovered her in time."

"I've learned what I needed to know; I'm going to go see Naruto."

Jiraiya casually placed the Genius Class file on the Hokage's desk.

"Itachi can see him, but don't do anything unnecessary."

Hiruzen Sarutobi cautioned.

"When do Itachi plan to tell Naruto the truth?"

Jiraiya couldn't help but frown as he asked.

"He's still young; I'll wait until after he graduates."

Hiruzen Sarutobi replied.

"Tonight is New Year's Eve; don't Itachi plan to bring Naruto along?"

Jiraiya looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and asked.

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell into silence upon hearing this.

"Now that Tsunade is staying in the village, what do Itachi have to worry about?"

Jiraiya asked relentlessly: "Old man, Itachi're a hero of the ninja world, why are Itachi so hesitant now?"

"Bring Naruto to my house tonight."

Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a few seconds before finally agreeing.

"That's more like it."

Jiraiya waved his hand and said: "I'm off, see Itachi tonight."

"It seems I really am getting old."
