Chapter 564

But how should I put it?

It wasn't that easy to get a high reward for this mission.

Because the powerful summoning animals in the ninja world were limited.

The three major summoning animal holy lands were out of the question; Tenten definitely couldn't get them.

Kitazawa himself couldn't get them either.

He estimated that after he officially became Tsunade's student, he could contract with the slugs of Shikkotsu Forest.

But besides the three major summoning animal holy lands, other summoning animals were very average.

Things like ninja dogs, ninja cats, crows, hawks, and turtles.

Kitazawa estimated that these summoning animals could at most be exchanged for a C-rank or B-rank ninjutsu.

Of course, there were powerful ones too.

For example, Hiruzen Sarutobi's Enma, Danzo Shimura's Baku, and Hanzo's Salamander.

But these all belonged to others; it was impossible for Tenten to get them.

"Summoning animals are hard to come by."

Kitazawa couldn't think of any powerful summoning animals, so he gave up for the time being and said, "If I have time, I'll help Itachi ask around."

If it really didn't work out, he could only ask the Inuzuka clan for a ninja dog or the Uchiha clan for a ninja cat.

With his current strength and status, he could still do that.

"Thank Itachi, Teacher Kitazawa!"

Tenten said gratefully.

"Back to your special training, your ninja tools all rely on Summoning Jutsu; this method is too singular."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "Today I'll teach Itachi the Manipulated Shuriken Technique."

"Great! I've long heard of the fame of the Manipulated Shuriken Technique!"

Tenten said very happily.

"The Manipulated Shuriken Technique will have its power discounted without a Sharingan, but it's not bad."

Kitazawa casually took out two shuriken and handed them to her.

After Tenten took them, she discovered that there was a translucent rubber string tied to the shuriken.

"The rubber string can be replaced with steel wire that has more lethality."

Kitazawa paused and said, "However, the rubber string also has its benefits, which is that it's more flexible and elastic."

After explaining the key points to Tenten for fifteen minutes, he sent her off to practice on her own.

"Hana, your training content is the same as Choji's; first improve your chakra control."

Kitazawa looked at Inuzuka Kiba's sister, Inuzuka Hana, and said.

"Yes, Teacher Kitazawa."

Inuzuka Hana immediately replied.

Kitazawa had already arranged for the familiar students one by one.

The remaining students were all new to the Genius Class, most of whom were originally fifth and sixth-grade students.

Kitazawa divided his arrangements for them into two parts.

Students who had already mastered the Three Basic Jutsu could practice tree climbing.

Students who hadn't mastered the Three Basic Jutsu continued to learn them.

After all, before learning elemental ninjutsu, the Three Basic Jutsu were a must-master.

In less than two hours, Kitazawa had finished arranging all the training for the three groups.

He went to visit the Water Style, Lightning Style, and Earth Style groups and found that they had also thrown themselves into training.

Hatake Kakashi and Maruboshi Kosuke's thoughts were similar to his.

Practice the Three Basic Jutsu first, and after practicing well, proceed to tree climbing and water walking, and finally teach the corresponding elemental ninjutsu.

Kitazawa performed hand seals and split into two shadow clones.

One shadow clone was responsible for guidance.

And the other shadow clone went to help Aburame Shino with his parasitic insect mutation experiment.

Kitazawa himself found a place to practice Earth Style.

Time came to noon.

The students of the Genius Class, who had been training all morning, welcomed a break.

Just like regular school days, the lunch break plus meal time was two hours.

Kitazawa didn't eat with Hyuga Hinata and Uchiha Sasuke and the others, but instead invited Maruboshi Kosuke and Hatake Kakashi to eat.

The three of them came to an izakaya near the school.

"How does the first day of class feel?"

After ordering the food, Kitazawa asked.

"It's okay."

Hatake Kakashi was as stingy with his words as usual.

However, he wasn't lying.

Life in the Anbu and life at the Ninja Academy could be described as worlds apart.

Training with these energetic children, he felt his corpse warming up, and he felt much more alive.

"These children all have great talent; in time, they will inevitably become the pillars of the Hidden Leaf Village."

Maruboshi Kosuke smiled and said, "Being able to teach them, I also feel honored."

Because of the mistakes he made when he was young, he had been punishing himself and was unwilling to be promoted.

Now, seeing the students of the Genius Class, he had found a new way of atonement.

"Kitazawa."

Maruboshi Kosuke said with some hesitation, "I have a request."

"Senior Kosuke, no need to be so polite; just say what Itachi have to say."

Kitazawa waved his hand and said.

He still admired Maruboshi Kosuke quite a bit.

Because of a momentary mistake, he was willing to spend his whole life to compensate; such determination and perseverance were rare in the ninja world.

"Although the students of the Genius Class are all good, there are differences in talent."

Maruboshi Kosuke said slowly, "I want to find two students to inherit my Water Style and swordsmanship respectively."

Kitazawa was stunned.

Hatake Kakashi also showed a look of surprise.

But they quickly understood the reason.

Maruboshi Kosuke was a Genin; theoretically, he couldn't become a team leader.

For so many years, he had also been alone.

Now that he had become a teacher at the Ninja Academy, he finally had the authority to teach students.

In fact, with his strength and status, he just needed to tell Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But he had his own persistence and had always strictly followed the rules.

"Senior Kosuke, of course Itachi can."

Kitazawa came back to his senses and said, "It would be their great fortune to be your students."

"It's not that exaggerated."

Maruboshi Kosuke said with a smile, "I'm old and don't want what I've learned to be taken to the grave; fortunately, Hiruzen gave me this opportunity."

Kitazawa thought to himself, Itachi're already calling him Hiruzen, what else can I say.

However, ninjas like him who didn't use privileges were indeed rare.

If it were him, he definitely wouldn't be able to persist like this.

It's just that I don't know which two lucky ones will become Maruboshi Kosuke's students.

Kitazawa was thoughtful.

He estimated that it would mostly be one of the Konoha 12, Karin, or Kurama Yakumo.

Maruboshi Kosuke was a proper Jonin, and his Water Style and swordsmanship were also at the Jonin level.

Ordinary students simply wouldn't be able to learn them.

Kitazawa didn't interfere.

After all, this was a good thing.

When the time comes, he would see if he could mooch a bit of his Leaf-style swordsmanship.

After all, the ninja sword that Hyuga Hinata gave him had never been officially put to use.

"Let's go, I'll take Itachi to the office."

After lunch, Kitazawa stood up and said.

Ordinary teachers could only have a separate office when they reached the level of grade director.

But Maruboshi Kosuke and Hatake Kakashi were different; their status and strength allowed for exceptions.

Kitazawa had arranged an office for each of them on both sides of his own office.

To facilitate their rest, he had also specially set up a single bed in the corner.

"See Itachi this afternoon."

Hatake Kakashi walked into his office.

Kitazawa greeted Maruboshi Kosuke and went home.

After all, the Ninja Academy wasn't far from Yuhi Kurenai's house.

If he wanted to take a nap, it was more comfortable to sleep at home.

Because he had to teach in the afternoon, Kitazawa didn't mess around with Yuhi Kurenai.

After a nap, he returned to the Ninja Academy.

Once class time arrived, the students of the Genius Class started training.

Kitazawa practiced Earth Style while thinking about Tenten's mission.

Time passed slowly.

He suddenly froze in place, and a special summoning animal, the Shouqicheng Giant Lizard, appeared in his mind.

In the ninja world, there was a small country called the Land of Shou.

Its last daimyo was named Shouqicheng Ganzo.

Before the country fell, he summoned the Shouqicheng Giant Lizard, letting it protect Shouqicheng.

It wasn't until Uzumaki Naruto, Hyuga Hinata, and Inuzuka Kiba received a mission to find the daimyo's wife that they came to Shouqicheng.

They found the contract scroll of the Shouqicheng Giant Lizard, tore it up, and ended its mission.

In the original work, the Shouqicheng Giant Lizard showed decent strength.

First, it had super camouflage, which even the Byakugan couldn't see through.

Second, it was huge, comparable to a castle, with amazing defense.

Third, it had the ability to transform, which could turn into a castle.
