Chapter 547: Teaching in the Hokage's Village, the System Says I'm Tsunade's Student, Chapter 351

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched Jiraiya jump out the window and couldn't help but sigh.

Both Tsunade and Jiraiya had more courage than he did now.

But Jiraiya also had major issues.

Because he trusted the arrangements of Mount Myoboku too much, spending his days out there looking for some Child of Prophecy.

"It's safer to leave the Hidden Leaf to Tsunade."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said thoughtfully.

As the New Year approached, the Hidden Leaf Village became very lively.

Not only were all the shops on both sides of the street open, but there were also many mobile and temporary snack stalls.

Of course, the most numerous were the pedestrians coming and going.

Every street was packed to the brim.

"Is your general store not opening today?"

Kurenai Yuhi held Kitazawa's hand and reminded him: "Itachi'll lose a lot of money, Itachi know."

"Not opening; spending time with Itachi is more important."

Kitazawa shook his head and said: "Besides, I'm not short on money right now."

"That's true."

Kurenai Yuhi looked around and said: "Itachi are now the medical ninja second only to Lady Tsunade; making money is easy for Itachi."

"Provided I don't get hooked on gambling."

Kitazawa said casually: "Otherwise, I'd end up penniless just like Lady Tsunade."

"She is your teacher, after all."

Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Be careful she doesn't stuff all her IOUs into your hands."

"Don't say such terrifying things."

Kitazawa's mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Eh?"

Kurenai Yuhi suddenly stopped and asked: "Look, is that Asuma and Kakashi over there?"

"It is indeed them."

Kitazawa looked in the direction of her gaze.

"Kitazawa!"

Might Guy noticed them and waved hurriedly.

Asuma Sarutobi subconsciously glanced over and saw their hands clasped together.

He instantly felt a myocardial infarction.

"Asuma, when did Itachi get back?"

Kitazawa walked up and asked.

"Got back yesterday afternoon."

Asuma Sarutobi replied.

"How did Itachi all end up together?"

Kurenai Yuhi asked curiously.

"Ran into each other by chance."

Asuma Sarutobi complained: "That old man suddenly sent someone to notify me to go out and buy groceries, saying there would be guests tonight."

"Isn't today New Year's Eve? Why would there be guests?"

Kurenai Yuhi asked, puzzled.

"Don't know."

Asuma Sarutobi shook his head.

"I know who it is."

Kitazawa's heart stirred, and he said: "I saw Lord Jiraiya this morning."

"Lord Jiraiya?"

The expressionless Kakashi Hatake suddenly reacted.

A glimmer of light flashed in his dead-fish eyes.

He had already read that copy of *Icha Icha Paradise* many times; he wondered if there was a new one.

"Hmm."

Kitazawa said with a smile: "He went to find Lady Tsunade and was punched away."

"As expected of Lady Tsunade."

Kurenai Yuhi said with great admiration.

"So that's it."

A look of realization dawned on Asuma Sarutobi's face.

"Since Lord Jiraiya is visiting, we really should prepare properly."

Kurenai Yuhi smiled and said: "Lady Tsunade is visiting our place today."

Your place?

Asuma Sarutobi felt this was no place to stay.

He had lost too thoroughly!

"Itachi guys go ahead and shop; we're going to check out that supermarket."

Asuma Sarutobi pulled Kakashi Hatake and walked forward.

"Wait for me!"

Might Guy immediately chased after them.

"Asuma."

Kakashi Hatake deliberated for a moment and said: "I'll come home with Itachi later; I have something to ask Lord Jiraiya."

"No problem."

Asuma Sarutobi paused and asked with a smile: "How about Itachi spend New Year's Eve at my place?"

"Me?"

Kakashi Hatake was taken aback.

"Itachi're Lord Jiraiya's grand-student; it's been so long, we can eat and chat at the same time."

Asuma Sarutobi laughed and said: "The old man will definitely be very happy to see Itachi too."

Time arrived at evening.

Heavy snow began to fall from the sky.

Shizune and Rina Uzumaki arrived early at Kurenai Yuhi's house to help prepare dinner.

Kitazawa had originally wanted to help, but he was shooed away.

Because the kitchen was already crowded with three people, and it was even harder for four to move around, which actually hindered the efficiency of cooking.

In the living room, Karin sat cross-legged on the sofa, watching TV with rapt attention.

Kitazawa walked up and sat down beside Karin.

After watching TV for a while, he felt bored.

The TV programs in the ninja world were truly lackluster.

Just then, a knock on the door sounded.

"I'll get the door."

Kitazawa stood up and went to the entrance.

After he opened the door, a beautiful and exquisite face came into view—it was Tsunade.

Although it was snowing, she was still wearing her tea-green haori with the word "Bet" printed on it.

"Lady Tsunade, why are Itachi only arriving now?"

Kitazawa stepped back to let her into the house.

"I went to buy some sake."

Tsunade's lips curled up, and she said with a smile: "This weather is perfect for drinking."

After she finished speaking, she bent down and began to take off her shoes.

Kitazawa subconsciously glanced over and was captivated by skin whiter than the snow.

"Aren't Itachi afraid I'll punch Itachi flying?"

Tsunade put her shoes away, looked at him, and asked.

"Not afraid."

Kitazawa said seriously: "I haven't done anything wrong."

He reached out and brushed the snow off her shoulders.

"I'll let Itachi off for today."

Tsunade was slightly stunned and said.

She walked into the living room barefoot on the carpet.

Kitazawa couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seemed he really needed to control his wandering eyes.

"Lady Tsunade."

Karin hurriedly greeted her.

"How is your training lately?"

Tsunade sat beside her, patted her head, and asked.

"Very smooth."

Karin glanced at Kitazawa, "Teacher Kitazawa says I can try learning sealing jutsu next week."

"As expected of a member of the Uzumaki clan."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and said.

"It's mainly because Karin has great talent for sealing jutsu."

Kitazawa sat opposite Tsunade and said with a smile.

"Itachi're teaching her sealing jutsu?"

Tsunade suddenly thought of something and asked: "The three sealing jutsu I gave Itachi, have Itachi learned them?"

"I learned two."

Kitazawa said modestly: "My talent for sealing jutsu is a bit lacking."

"I really want to kick Itachi out!"

Tsunade rolled her eyes and said.

Learning two sealing jutsu in such a short time—this talent for sealing jutsu couldn't be called anything but inhuman, let alone poor.

"No need for Lady Tsunade to kick; just say the word, and I'll walk out."
