Chapter 694: Teaching in the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I

"Once we defeat the Hidden Mist Village, Itachi will have enough time to look at the sea."

Yuhi Kurenai said with a smile.

"Mm."

Uchiha Izumi nodded.

"Get ready, if nothing goes wrong, there will be missions for our squad starting tomorrow."

Kitazawa yawned and said: "As for now, let's sleep."

"Yes, Teacher Kitazawa."

The three of them, Yakushi Kabuto, said in unison.

Because they were in the same ninja squad, their tents were next to each other.

Logically speaking, a ninja squad would have one tent.

Whether during war or missions, sleeping was kept simple, using sleeping bags.

Coupled with the fact that they slept in their clothes, a ninja squad would sleep in one tent, regardless of gender.

But because of Kitazawa's current status and position, their ninja squad had been assigned two tents.

As for how to distribute them, naturally, Yakushi Kabuto and the other two were in one tent, and Kitazawa and Yuhi Kurenai were in the other.

Kitazawa held Yuhi Kurenai's soft body, smelling the faint fragrance as he entered dreamland.

They woke up in the afternoon.

After eating, they didn't stay idle and seized the time to cultivate.

Kitazawa took this opportunity to consolidate the ninjutsu he had copied with his Three-Tomoe Sharingan during last night's battle.

They were two Water Style ninjutsu and two Earth Style ninjutsu.

Water Style: Water Fang Blade, Water Style: Hidden Mist Jutsu, Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet, and Earth Style: Subterranean Voyage.

Copying only meant he could use them; he was still far from mastering them.

Fortunately, he now had proficiency-level Earth Style and Water Style chakra nature transformation, so getting familiar with them wasn't slow.

Kitazawa felt that Water Style: Hidden Mist Jutsu was the most useful.

It could have miraculous effects when used against non-Hidden Mist ninja.

But Hidden Mist ninja were already accustomed to foggy weather.

Coupled with their unique Silent Killing Technique, it was hard to say who would have the advantage.

Unless Kitazawa also learned the Silent Killing Technique.

But this thing was essentially an assassination skill rather than a ninjutsu.

In the original story, during the battle between Hatake Kakashi and Momochi Zabuza in the Land of Waves.

He had only copied the Water Style ninjutsu with his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and not the Silent Killing Technique.

The next morning.

Kitazawa woke up on time.

He sat up and stretched.

"Good morning."

Yuhi Kurenai opened her eyes and greeted him.

Because they were on the battlefield, both of them were very restrained.

She hadn't wasted energy last night and had slept well; upon noticing Kitazawa's movement, she woke up from her sleep.

"It still feels more comfortable sleeping at home."

Kitazawa paused and said: "I'm also not used to not going to class."

"Your students are probably even less used to it."

Yuhi Kurenai chuckled and said.

She was well aware of how popular Kitazawa was with his students.

After Yuhi Kurenai said this, Kitazawa did indeed miss Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Hinata and the others.

It was a pity they were too young; otherwise, he could have let them go to the battlefield too.

Kitazawa shook his head.

He wasn't Uchiha Fugaku and couldn't bring himself to let children go to the battlefield.

Although Uzumaki Naruto and the others' strength was no worse than an average chunin, the cruelty of the battlefield could easily leave them with psychological trauma.

If they all turned into Uchiha Itachi in the future, Kitazawa would just break down.

After the two got up and washed up simply, they ate breakfast with Yakushi Kabuto and the other two.

"Lord Kitazawa."

An Anbu ninja suddenly appeared: "Lady Tsunade asks Itachi to come over."

"Understood, thank Itachi."

Kitazawa stood up and walked toward the main tent.

On both sides of the main tent, many ninja were coming and going to receive missions.

Only particularly important missions were assigned by Tsunade.

"Lady Tsunade."

Kitazawa shouted at the entrance and only walked in after receiving permission.

In the main tent, there were only Tsunade and Shizune.

"Choose one of the missions here."

Tsunade pointed to the scrolls on the table and said: "They are all A-rank and S-rank missions."

"Lady Tsunade, Itachi really think highly of me."

Kitazawa couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

"Your squad has two jonin, so naturally, Itachi must be used to the fullest."

Tsunade replied.

Her previous plan was to have Kitazawa stay by her side, but after the raid on the Hidden Mist Village mission ended, she changed her mind.

Such powerful combat strength could not be wasted, and this was a very good opportunity to make a name for himself.

Tsunade was already grooming Kitazawa as a successor to the Hokage.

The first step to becoming Hokage was to have extremely high fame.

"And Kurenai."

Kitazawa reminded her.

Under normal circumstances, a ninja squad consisted of four people.

Adding Yuhi Kurenai, their ninja squad was already overstaffed.

But as long as Tsunade, the frontline commander, agreed, no one would dare say anything.

"I have already included Kurenai."

Tsunade hummed lightly and said.

"As expected of Lady Tsunade, your foresight is divine!"

Kitazawa immediately praised her.

"Enough with the nonsense, choose your mission."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and said.

Kitazawa immediately flipped through the missions on the table.

The missions were roughly divided into four types.

The first was defense; to make fighting more convenient, the Hidden Leaf Village had built many outposts and sentry posts, all of which needed people to defend them.

The second was reconnaissance; like the Hidden Leaf Village, the Hidden Mist Village had also built outposts and sentry posts, and the Leaf Village needed to know their locations.

The third was combat; either capture outposts or sentry posts, or hunt down Hidden Mist ninja squads wandering outside.

The fourth was infiltration; running to the island where the Hidden Mist Village was located to cause destruction or harass medical logistics units.

"I choose this mission."

Kitazawa handed the scroll in his hand to Tsunade.

"Are Itachi really not afraid of death?"

Tsunade took a look at the scroll in her hand and couldn't help but ask.

"This is using everything to its fullest."

Kitazawa said with a smile: "I am still very confident in infiltration."

"Be careful above all else."

Tsunade was silent for two seconds and said.

"I understand."

Kitazawa took the scroll and left the main tent.

【Once on the battlefield, it's time to show your skills.】

【Current Mission: Lead the squad to complete ten A-rank or S-rank missions.】

【Mission Reward: Composite Ninjutsu: Scorch Style: Severing Wave.】

【Do Itachi accept?】

As soon as Kitazawa walked out of the main tent, four lines of text appeared before his eyes.

Although this system mission came suddenly, it was also within his expectations.

Only this mission reward was a bit of a surprise.

Composite Ninjutsu: Scorch Style: Severing Wave, came from Kakuzu, and was a combination of Fire Style: Searing Migraine and Wind Style: Pressure Damage.

Although it was a bit of a surprise, the power of this composite ninjutsu was definitely not bad.

In Kitazawa's view, Kakuzu could be called the gatekeeper of top-tier powerhouses.

Anyone who could be more powerful than Kakuzu could be considered a top-tier powerhouse in the ninja world.

"Is there a mission?"

Yuhi Kurenai asked proactively when she saw Kitazawa return.

"S-rank mission, destroy the Hidden Mist Village's supply transport team."

Kitazawa briefly stated the content on the scroll.

"The first mission is this difficult?"

Yuhi Kurenai's expression became solemn.

Supply transport teams generally had jonin accompanying them.

This wasn't even the most troublesome part.

The supply transport team started from the Land of Water and headed toward the Hidden Mist main base.

This stretch of road undoubtedly belonged entirely to the enemy's rear, and they could encounter Hidden Mist ninja at any time.

"Difficult as it is, it's very suitable for our squad."

Kitazawa looked at Aburame Torune and said with a smile: "This mission depends on Itachi, Torune."

"Yes."

Aburame Torune was stunned for a moment and hurriedly replied.
