Chapter 636

Tuesday.

After breakfast, Kitazawa came straight to the Ninja Academy's playground.

Because it wasn't class time yet, only a part of the students had arrived.

But Kosuke Maruboshi and Kakashi Hatake had already arrived early.

"Senior Kosuke, Kakashi."

Kitazawa stepped forward to greet them.

"Kitazawa."

Kosuke Maruboshi looked at him and sighed, "Itachi are so young and can kill Raiga Kurosuki, truly the younger generation is to be feared."

It was the first time Kitazawa heard someone say he was young.

But considering Kosuke Maruboshi's age, he could indeed be called young.

"Senior Kosuke, Itachi flatter me, I still have a lot to learn."

Kitazawa asked curiously, "How did Itachi know I killed Raiga Kurosuki?"

"It was a notice issued by the Hokage."

Kakashi Hatake interrupted and explained.

For Kitazawa killing Raiga Kurosuki, although he was a bit surprised, it wasn't much.

Last year, he and Kitazawa teamed up to execute the mission of meeting Kabuto Yakushi, and fought against multiple Hidden Stone Village ninjas on the way.

At that time, he understood Kitazawa's strength, which was definitely at the jonin level.

Of course, Raiga Kurosuki's strength definitely far exceeded that of the Hidden Stone Village ninjas.

It could only be said that Kitazawa was improving too fast.

But it was normal for someone who could be favored by Tsunade.

"I see."

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow and roughly understood Hiruzen Sarutobi's idea.

How should one put it?

It could be considered a good thing.

Although it would be easy to be targeted by enemies after becoming famous, fame would invisibly increase his status and influence in the Hidden Leaf Village.

The three chatted for a while and soon it was 9:00.

They stopped chatting, took their respective study groups, and started training.

Kitazawa checked the progress of the students according to the usual practice.

After confirming there were no problems, he left two Shadow Clones to guide them.

As the main body, he came to the school's artificial lake to practice Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique.

Time passed slowly.

In the afternoon, just before school was out, three lines of text appeared before Kitazawa's eyes.

【Current Mission: Learn four Water Style ninjutsu within the third semester.】

【Mission Reward: Skilled-level Water Style chakra nature change.】

【Host has completed the mission, reward issued.】

Seeing this, Kitazawa couldn't help but let out a breath.

Finally completed this mission.

After having skilled-level Water Style chakra nature change, he could learn Water Style ninjutsu faster.

And he was one step closer to learning the Five Elements: Great Elemental Barrage.

But Kitazawa didn't plan to continue learning Water Style ninjutsu.

Because he also had a system mission to learn four Earth Style ninjutsu this semester.

Kitazawa had already learned Earth Style: Earth Wall, and was still missing three Earth Style ninjutsu to complete the mission.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to learn Earth Style: Earth Substitution first.

Kitazawa didn't choose randomly.

Because in his view, learning offensive Earth Style ninjutsu was certainly good, but he had already learned many offensive ninjutsu.

Simply put, offensive Earth Style ninjutsu could only be the icing on the cake and couldn't play a decisive role.

And Earth Style: Earth Substitution was different, an auxiliary and defensive Earth Style ninjutsu, suitable for saving his life.

Its effect was to control ground matter to form a substitute, allowing the user to realize the replacement of the main body when suffering enemy attacks.

Whether it was used for defense or evasion, it was very useful.

Because school was about to be out, Kitazawa didn't continue training.

He thought for a moment and came to the place where their ninja squad trained.

Yesterday, he had already split the 1.2 million ryo he got equally among Kabuto Yakushi and the others.

Coming here now was mainly for the mission.

"Teacher Kitazawa."

The three of Kabuto Yakushi stopped practicing upon seeing him.

"Remember to continue brushing up on the number of missions when Itachi have time."

Kitazawa reminded, "Just like before, if Itachi encounter troublesome missions, come find me."

"Yes, Teacher Kitazawa."

The three of Kabuto Yakushi answered in unison.

Kitazawa just wanted to speak when he saw a familiar figure suddenly appear.

"Lord Hokage asks Itachi to go over."

Anbu ninja Shun said straight to the point.

Kitazawa couldn't help but be a bit puzzled.

Could it be about Raiga Kurosuki?

But hadn't it been explained clearly two days ago?

"I understand, thank Itachi."

Kitazawa didn't think about it anymore since he couldn't think of anything, anyway, he would know after seeing him.

After he finished speaking, Shun disappeared on the spot.

"School is out, your training for today ends here, go back."

Kitazawa greeted the three of Kabuto Yakushi and left the Ninja Academy.

He soon arrived at the Hokage building.

At the entrance, Kitazawa stopped.

Because there were a few people gathered in front of the bulletin board.

Kitazawa went over to take a look, and the posted announcement was exactly about their ninja squad killing Raiga Kurosuki.

After reading it, he found a blind spot.

The announcement wrote Jonin Kitazawa, not Special Jonin Kitazawa.

Kitazawa pondered.

It seems that calling him over was to make him a jonin.

Thinking carefully, it was also true, he killed Raiga Kurosuki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and was still a Special Jonin, which really couldn't be justified.

Kitazawa went upstairs and entered the Hokage's office.

As soon as he entered, he saw the green jonin vest placed on the Hokage's office.

Sure enough, his guess was correct.

"Kitazawa."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said straight to the point, "There was one thing I forgot to tell Itachi before, that is, from now on, Itachi are promoted to jonin."

"Thank Itachi, Lord Hokage."

Kitazawa bowed slightly and asked again, "Do I need to take a jonin assessment?"

"Do Itachi still need an assessment? Killing Raiga Kurosuki is much harder than a jonin assessment."

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but laugh and said.

After he finished speaking, he stood up, picked up the green vest, and handed it to Kitazawa.

"Thank Itachi, Lord Hokage."

Kitazawa took the green vest and expressed his thanks again.

"There is one more thing."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat down again and said, "This morning, news came from the Hidden Mist Village, they plan to send a delegation to our Hidden Leaf Village."

"Are they wanting to take back Raiga Kurosuki's corpse and the Lightning Blades: Fangs?"

Kitazawa narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Indeed."

Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped his pipe and guaranteed, "But don't worry, the Lightning Blades: Fangs were given to Itachi, so they are yours."

Kitazawa was a bit surprised.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was unexpectedly tough for once.

Probably because this time he was facing the Hidden Mist Village, not the Hidden Cloud Village.

It's just that the current Hidden Mist Village was controlled by Obito Uchiha.

Kitazawa also didn't know what would happen.

But it didn't matter.
