Chapter 629

Apart from the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Kitazawa's strength was among the top tier of jonin.

But the next second, she exclaimed and turned to glare at Kitazawa.

"Is it still a dream now?"

Kitazawa's hand had already reached into her clothes, disappearing along her thigh.

"We have a mission tomorrow!"

Kurenai Yuhi hurriedly retreated two steps and said, "No messing around tonight!"

"I didn't want to mess around."

Kitazawa laughed and said, "Clearly, Itachi were the one thinking about it."

"I wasn't!"

Kurenai Yuhi blushed and said.

"Alright, come over and sleep."

Kitazawa patted the carpet and said.

Because they were in the wild, to prevent accidents, they slept in their clothes.

Kurenai Yuhi crawled into his arms, rested on his arm, and closed her eyes.

The corners of her mouth curled up, and she said, "Good night."

Kitazawa lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.

The night passed without a word.

Time came to the next day.

Ranmaru had already woken up.

But because of the Four-Limb Heavy Seal, he couldn't move, and the whole person looked lifeless.

Kitazawa didn't waste time trying to persuade him.

Anyway, after returning to the Hidden Leaf Village, he would just find someone to erase his memories.

Although it was a bit cruel, for him, it was a good thing in a sense.

Ranmaru was someone who met the wrong person at the right time.

If he hadn't met Raiga Kurosuki, he probably wouldn't have survived.

But Raiga Kurosuki was destined not to be a good person, and following him wouldn't lead to a good end.

The group arrived at the metropolis of the Land of Rivers.

"This is the location of the target ninja."

Kitazawa handed a map to Kabuto Yakushi and instructed, "Itachi guys kill him as fast as possible."

Kabuto Yakushi nodded.

After taking the map, he entered the city with Torune Aburame and Izumi Uchiha.

"Are we just going to watch like this?"

Kurenai Yuhi asked.

"The target ninja's strength isn't strong, not even a jonin, just leave it to them to handle."

Kitazawa said indifferently.

"This mission is too easy, it's boring!"

Kurenai Yuhi clenched her fists and said, "Next time, we must find a mission that allows me to act!"

"There will be."

Kitazawa smiled and said.

The metropolis of the Land of Rivers was much smaller than the metropolis of the Land of Fire.

Coupled with the guidance of the map, the three of them soon arrived at the house where the target ninja was.

"Torune, Itachi use the poisonous insects first."

Kabuto Yakushi thought for a moment and arranged, "If he luckily survives, Izumi, Itachi use the Sharingan."

"Yeah."

Izumi Uchiha activated her two-tomoe Sharingan.

Torune Aburame didn't say a word and raised his hand, and the nano-sized poisonous insects flew in through the window.

A moment later, a scream was heard.

Izumi Uchiha immediately pushed open the door.

The target ninja turned his head instinctively and met her Sharingan.

A moment of dullness appeared on his face.

Wind Style: Vacuum Blade!

Kabuto Yakushi took out a kunai and slashed across his neck.

The target ninja fell into eternal darkness.

"Torune, pack up his corpse."

Kabuto Yakushi put away the kunai and said calmly.

The target ninja was too weak, making him completely unable to get excited.

Torune Aburame took out the summoning storage scroll.

After packing the corpse, the three of them left quickly.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

Outside the city, Torune Aburame handed the summoning storage scroll to Kitazawa.

"Let's go, back to the Hidden Leaf Village."

Kitazawa took the summoning storage scroll and turned to leave.

The group returned along the original path and finally arrived back at the Hidden Leaf Village in the afternoon.

"Itachi guys go back and rest first, I'm going to see the Hokage."

Kitazawa paused and said with a smile, "Come find me at nine tomorrow morning, and I'll distribute the rewards then."

A B-rank mission naturally didn't need to see Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But adding Raiga Kurosuki made it very necessary.

That was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, worth a lot.

Especially in the ninja world, corpses could talk.

The Hidden Leaf Village taking Raiga Kurosuki's corpse for interrogation would likely yield many secrets about the high-level officials of the Hidden Mist Village.

Kitazawa brought Ranmaru to the Hokage's office.

He raised his hand to knock on the door, and after receiving permission, he pushed it open.

"Kitazawa?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was a bit puzzled and asked, "Why did Itachi bring an unconscious child here?"

He had seen all the students in the genius class, and he was sure Ranmaru wasn't among them.

"Lord Hokage, our ninja squad just returned from a mission in the Land of Rivers."

Kitazawa said directly, "We encountered Raiga Kurosuki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, in the Land of Rivers."

"Did Itachi have a conflict?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression immediately became serious upon hearing the name Raiga Kurosuki.

"We killed him."

Kitazawa replied.

"What?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but be stunned, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

"This is Raiga Kurosuki's corpse."

Kitazawa took out the summoning storage scroll and said.

Hiruzen Sarutobi hurriedly stood up, went to the open space in front of the Hokage's desk, and then opened the summoning storage scroll.

The next second, Raiga Kurosuki's corpse was placed there.

"It really is him!"

After confirming, Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed, "Itachi guys did well!"

Raiga Kurosuki was already a rogue ninja of the Hidden Mist Village, so killing him didn't need to worry about causing a war between the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Leaf Village.

And since he died at Kitazawa's hands, if it spread, the Hidden Leaf Village would naturally receive a lot of attention and earn a wave of popularity.

Of course, Kitazawa would also gain a lot of fame because of this.

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, Kitazawa indeed lacked fame that didn't match his strength.

But in non-ninja war periods, increasing fame was relatively difficult.

Like Tsunade, Minato Namikaze, and Kakashi Hatake, their fame was all earned through ninja wars.

"Shun, go call Inoichi over."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said impatiently.

Raiga Kurosuki could at least be considered a high-level official of the Hidden Mist Village.

The Hidden Mist Village currently implemented a policy of locking the village and didn't contact other ninja villages.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had always wanted to know what happened inside the Hidden Mist Village.

Now he could understand a thing or two through Raiga Kurosuki.

"Since Itachi encountered Raiga Kurosuki, your mission is upgraded to S-rank, and the mission reward is 1.2 million ryo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to the Hokage's seat.

"Thank Itachi, Lord Hokage."

Kitazawa wasn't surprised upon hearing this.

"But the mission reward alone is not enough, Kitazawa, what do Itachi want? Ninja tools, money, or ninjutsu?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a full face of smiles.

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow.

It was the first time he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi give him the choice.

As expected, Raiga Kurosuki could be sold for a good price.

Kitazawa fell into thought.

Ninja tools, he already had the Zangetsu given by Hinata Hyuga, plus Raiga Kurosuki's Lightning Blades: Fangs, he didn't need new ninja tools.

Money, he also had quite a bit, and wasn't lacking for now.

After thinking it over, ninjutsu was the most practical.

Although he had many ninjutsu, he lacked ninjutsu with great power.

Trading Raiga Kurosuki for an S-rank ninjutsu shouldn't be a problem.

"I choose ninjutsu."

Kitazawa replied.

"What ninjutsu?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said generously, "Itachi can choose an S-rank ninjutsu."
