Chapter 687

"Lady Tsunade, such hesitation is not your personality."

Kitazawa smiled and said.

"Do Itachi not understand concern?"

Tsunade couldn't help but glare at him and ask.

"I understand Lady Tsunade is worried about me."

Kitazawa said seriously, "But since I'm on the battlefield, I've already prepared myself."

Tsunade was slightly stunned.

She also has such awareness.

It's just that I don't know why, but when it involves Kitazawa, she automatically forgets such awareness.

Tsunade thought of this and couldn't help but realize the reason.

Unknowingly, Kitazawa has been regarded by her as a quite important person, with treatment similar to Shizune.

"The battlefield is more cruel than Itachi expected."

Tsunade lay directly on the carpet, and for a time, it was magnificent.

She looked at the ceiling and thought of Nawaki, who also didn't listen to advice.

In this matter, her personality has indeed become indecisive.

Because she doesn't want to aggravate her hemophobia.

"I can't be protected by Lady Tsunade for the rest of my life."

Although Kitazawa was moved, he still planned to take a risk for the system task.

But saying it's a risk, it's actually relatively safe.

With intention against no intention, plus an all-Jonin lineup, if Itachi can't beat them, run; it's not a big problem.

And that sentence of his was not wrong.

The ocean is his home field.

He has the best life-saving god skill, Water Style: Water Transformation Jutsu.

Its effect is to turn the whole body into water, ignoring physical attacks.

Running into the ocean is even more absolutely safe, unless the entire ocean evaporates.

"Itachi only have this mouth left."

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Then Itachi lead the team."

"Thank Itachi, Lady Tsunade."

Kitazawa breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

"Itachi must remember your purpose is to raid, not to occupy the stronghold."

Tsunade instructed, "Your time is very short, only three minutes; once exceeded, the reinforcements from the other two strongholds will arrive."

"Yeah."

Kitazawa nodded.

Just then, Shizune walked into the tent.

She glanced at Kitazawa and handed the scroll in her hand to Tsunade.

"This is the list of Jonin participating in this raid, there are eight in total."

Shizune said.

"Kitazawa, go, be careful."

Tsunade opened the scroll, read it once, and handed it to Kitazawa.

"Wait, Kitazawa is going too?"

Shizune asked subconsciously.

"Senior Sister Shizune, just wait for the news of my victory."

Kitazawa stood up and walked out of the tent.

At the camp gate, eight Jonin were already waiting.

Kitazawa knew four of them: Yashiro Uchiha, Shibi Aburame, Hiashi Hyuga, and Choza Akimichi.

Choza Akimichi is one of the Ino-Shika-Cho, but the other two didn't come.

Because after reaching the Jonin level, even if the combination is split, they can exert powerful strength.

"I am Kitazawa, lucky to serve as the captain of this raid squad."

Kitazawa walked forward and introduced himself in their puzzled eyes.

"With Captain Kitazawa here, our raid this time will definitely succeed."

Yashiro Uchiha said with a smile.

Shibi Aburame and Choza Akimichi and others felt shocked in their hearts.

When did the ninjas of the Uchiha clan learn to say such flattering words?

And it was Yashiro Uchiha, a veteran Jonin second only to Fugaku Uchiha.

"Time waits for no one, let's set off immediately."

Kitazawa said in a deep voice, "We must arrive at the Hidden Mist Village stronghold before dawn."

Once dawn breaks, the difficulty of the raid will increase exponentially.

"Yes!"

Everyone answered in unison.

Although Kitazawa is younger than them, he just killed Raiga Kurosuki and has Tsunade's backing, so they are all convinced.

A group of nine people disappeared into the night at top speed.

The moon reached the middle of the sky.

They arrived at the seaside.

Kitazawa stopped and looked at Shibi Aburame and Hiashi Hyuga.

"There are no ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village nearby."

Hiashi Hyuga looked around and said.

"The parasitic insects found a safe sea route."

Shibi Aburame took five minutes before speaking.

"Clan Leader Shibi, Itachi lead the way in front."

Kitazawa said immediately.

Shibi Aburame nodded, chakra floated out from his feet, stepped on the ground, and quickly headed toward the distance.

The remaining eight people followed him in the same way.

Soon, an island that looked blurry in the night entered their eyes.

"The range of one thousand meters around the island is full of traps."

Hiashi Hyuga took a look and said in a deep voice.

"With our speed, the distance of one thousand meters is at most two seconds."

Yashiro Uchiha said confidently, "Launch the raid directly."

"Not appropriate."

Kitazawa shook his head and said, "Those traps, although they don't pose much threat to us, will delay time."

"Indeed."

Choza Akimichi agreed.

"Captain Kitazawa, what is the way?"

Yashiro Uchiha looked at Kitazawa and asked.

"Hiashi, use the Byakugan to mark the traps in front of us; Clan Leader Shibi, send out parasitic insects to trigger all the traps at once."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "We will launch a raid at the fastest speed after the traps are triggered."

"This method is not bad."

Shibi Aburame acted immediately.

He opened the large gourd on his back and released a large number of parasitic insects.

Hiashi Hyuga saw this and began to report points.

In less than three minutes, the traps in front of them had all been marked by parasitic insects.

"After landing on the island, start the action immediately."

Kitazawa reminded, "We only have two minutes; once the time is up, retreat immediately."

"Yes!"

Everyone answered in unison.

As for why there are only two minutes, they also understand.

This is the time for a safe retreat.

Once the other Hidden Mist Village ninjas react, they will fall into an encirclement, and it will be difficult to leave then.

"Wait."

Kitazawa suddenly thought of something and formed hand seals with both hands.

Summoning Jutsu!

A half-person-high slug appeared.

"Lady Katsuyu, please split into nine and follow them."

Kitazawa paused, turned his gaze to the crowd, and said, "I can cast medical ninjutsu on Itachi through Lady Katsuyu."

Yashiro Uchiha and Shibi Aburame couldn't help but feel a shock in their hearts.

They naturally had heard of the name Katsuyu.

The summoning beast from one of the three holy lands, Shikkotsu Forest, and also Tsunade's summoning beast.

Now Kitazawa summoned Katsuyu, proving that he really became Tsunade's student.

Rather than the rumors or hearsay from before.

After all, if Itachi are not a student, how could Itachi possess Katsuyu?

"As expected of Lady Tsunade's summoning beast."

Yashiro Uchiha sighed.

"With Captain Kitazawa here, it's equivalent to us carrying a medical ninja with us."

Hiashi Hyuga agreed, "Just thinking about it makes me feel very safe."

It was his first time fighting such a wealthy battle.

Fighting while having someone to heal Itachi, this is simply... too cool.

Others also nodded one after another.

No wonder Tsunade can become the most excellent medical ninja in the ninja world.

Just this summoning beast alone has far surpassed ordinary medical ninjas.

"Ready."

After Katsuyu split into nine and climbed onto their shoulders, Kitazawa looked at Shibi Aburame.
