Chapter 643

Yakushi Kabuto said without hesitation, "I want to follow Kitazawa-sensei and learn more ninjutsu."

"That's fine too."

Kitazawa nodded and said, "Itachi are still young, no need to rush into leading a team alone."

"Understood."

Yakushi Kabuto breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He had thought Kitazawa was asking him this question to make him leave the ninja squad.

"Then go and train."

Kitazawa waved his hand and said, "When there is a suitable high-difficulty mission, I will take Itachi all to do it."

"Understood."

Yakushi Kabuto didn't ask any more questions and turned to walk toward the Ninja Academy.

Kitazawa watched him and thought of Shennong again.

As the villain of the movie, Shennong's strength was not bad.

In his normal state, he was at the level of a Special Jonin, and after using Zero-Tails chakra and his forbidden medical arts, he could reach the level of an Elite Jonin.

It was hard to say who would win if Yakushi Kabuto's trio plus Kurenai Yuhi faced him.

Of course, with Kitazawa added, it shouldn't be a big problem.

After all, Shennong's forbidden medical arts had side effects and couldn't be maintained for too long.

The trouble was finding him.

But it wasn't impossible; the monk might run, but the temple wouldn't. He could first find the location of the Hidden Sky Village and then wait for the rabbit.

Kitazawa rubbed his chin.

He could go to the Anbu later and ask Itachi Uchiha for help.

As for now, he couldn't wait to test his Senju Chakra Mode.

Kitazawa headed north all the way until he arrived at the northernmost training ground.

After confirming there was no one around, he activated the Senju Chakra Mode.

In an instant, Kitazawa felt the chakra in his body become extremely active.

He pondered for a moment and immediately performed hand seals.

Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!

Kitazawa leaned back and spat out a large fireball.

The large fireball flew into the sky and soon disappeared.

A hint of excitement flashed in Kitazawa's eyes.

From performing the hand seals to spitting out the great fireball, the time he used was reduced by one-third compared to usual.

Is this the effect of improving chakra circulation efficiency?

Kitazawa pondered and stretched out his hand again.

Rasengan!

In an instant, a highly compressed chakra sphere hovered in his palm.

"As expected!"

Kitazawa calculated the time, and it was also reduced by one-third.

But the Rasengan was originally a no-seal jutsu, and reducing it by another third made it an instant-cast ninjutsu.

Kitazawa couldn't help but let out a breath.

All ninjutsu were shortened by one-third, which would give him a huge advantage in battle.

Coupled with his many ninjutsu, enemies who didn't know his intelligence could easily be killed by him instantly—the so-called 'first-encounter kill'.

Kitazawa suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued testing.

After all, the Senju Chakra Mode had three effects.

Kitazawa looked left and right and came to a tree.

He clenched his fist and threw a punch.

For this punch, he didn't use any technique or taijutsu.

With a boom!

The tree trembled violently, then snapped in the middle and fell backward.

A look of shock appeared on Kitazawa's face.

Was his casual punch equivalent to half a Strength of a Hundred?

Leaf Whirlwind!

Kitazawa kicked out.

Under his immense power, the broken half of the tree shattered into pieces.

Kitazawa couldn't help but click his tongue.

The effect of this increased power output was clearly not limited to his hands.

Thinking of this, Kitazawa sat down directly.

Power surged out, forming a butt-print on the ground.

Kitazawa stood up again, his face full of excitement.

This meant that every part of his body could possess terrifying output.

Strength of a Hundred!

Kitazawa punched the ground.

In an instant, a huge crater formed with him at the center.

Kitazawa's eyes lit up.

The power of his Strength of a Hundred was already catching up to Tsunade's.

"Next is recovery and self-healing."

Kitazawa hesitated for a moment, took out a kunai, and made a cut on the back of his hand.

Blood appeared, but the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to normal after three seconds.

Kitazawa nodded with satisfaction.

This recovery and self-healing really had a hint of Hashirama Senju's no-seal healing.

The so-called no-seal healing refers to the body being able to automatically recover from injuries without needing hand seals.

Besides Hashirama Senju, Karin and her mother also had similar abilities.

But clearly, the self-healing and recovery of Kitazawa's Senju Chakra Mode were still a long way behind Hashirama Senju's.

Even so, it was enough to play a good role in battle.

Especially in those evenly matched, grueling fights.

Whoever has stronger recovery and self-healing will have the advantage.

"Finally, the duration of the Senju Chakra Mode."

Kitazawa stood in place, feeling the rapid depletion of chakra in his body.

The more powerful the ninjutsu, the greater the consumption.

In Kitazawa's view, this Senju Chakra Mode was a bit like the Eight Inner Gates.

But it was a safer Eight Inner Gates.

Time passed second by second.

Three minutes later, Kitazawa's body trembled, and he exited the Senju Chakra Mode.

He subconsciously shook his head, feeling dizzy, and nine-tenths of the chakra in his body had been consumed.

"Three minutes is not bad either."

Kitazawa took a few deep breaths, and the uncomfortable feeling gradually faded.

Although it was only three minutes, within those three minutes, his strength could be raised to a level similar to Tsunade's.

In the entire ninja world, how many people could withstand three minutes of Tsunade's full-power attack?

In short, Kitazawa had made a huge profit this time.

This Senju Chakra Mode was worthy of the difficulty of collecting 70% of the Senju bloodline.

I wonder if there will be other abilities when the Senju bloodline reaches 100%.

Kitazawa cleaned up the scene and walked toward the Hokage Building.

As for that tree, it had already reached the end of its life.

It didn't matter; the Hidden Leaf Village had no shortage of anything, but it had plenty of trees.

Kitazawa arrived at the Anbu office.

Itachi Uchiha was not there.

However, Kitazawa's reputation was already quite significant now.

Most of the Anbu ninjas recognized him and took the initiative to help him call Itachi Uchiha.

"Itachi, I have something to trouble Itachi with."

Kitazawa got straight to the point and said, "I hope Itachi can help me find the old site of the Hidden Sky Village."

Itachi Uchiha agreed without hesitation upon hearing this.

This wasn't the first time he had helped Kitazawa.

Last time, he had also helped him find the Land of Neck.

"Thank Itachi."

Kitazawa smiled and said.

"It's nothing."

Itachi Uchiha said indifferently, "This kind of thing is not difficult at all."

Finding a place is simpler than finding a person.

"How is the situation with your Uchiha clan recently?"

Kitazawa suddenly thought of something and asked.

"The situation is very good."

A rare relaxed expression appeared on Itachi Uchiha's face, "Since the Root was disbanded, there has been no external pressure."

Kitazawa actually wanted to ask about Obito Uchiha.

But Itachi Uchiha's answer indirectly told him the answer, which was that Obito Uchiha had not appeared or gone to find Itachi Uchiha.

"Without external pressure, Itachi must be careful about internal problems."

Kitazawa reminded him.

"With me here, I won't let them act recklessly."

Itachi Uchiha's expression became very serious upon hearing this.

He naturally assumed that Kitazawa said this under Tsunade's instruction.

Tsunade didn't like the hardliners within the Uchiha clan, or rather, she didn't want them to cause trouble.

Kitazawa nodded.

He still believed in this statement.
