Chapter 705: Teaching in the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I am Tsunade

~6 min read 1,104 words

Kitazawa did not wake her. After eating breakfast, he began to teach Yakushi Kabuto and Uchiha Izumi.

Aburame Torune, meanwhile, studied the secret techniques of the Aburame clan on his own.

Because they were not going out on missions, today felt very peaceful.

It was no different from being in the Hidden Leaf Village; aside from training, it was just more training.

Time arrived at the second day.

Kitazawa and Yuhi Kurenai had returned to a state of restraint.

After all, it was an unwise choice to exhaust so much stamina before going on a mission.

But before Kitazawa could take the initiative to find Tsunade for a mission today, an Anbu ninja arrived.

"Lord Kitazawa."

The Anbu ninja bowed slightly and said, "Lord Tsunade requests your squad to come over."

"I understand. I'll be there immediately."

Upon hearing this, Kitazawa could not help but raise an eyebrow.

In the past, Tsunade had always sought him out alone; this was the first time she had summoned their entire squad.

"It seems there is an important mission."

Yuhi Kurenai also realized the gravity of the situation.

"Mm."

Kitazawa stood up and said, "We'll know once we get there."

The five of them arrived at the main tent where Tsunade was located.

As soon as they entered, they saw an Anbu ninja.

"Itachi?"

Uchiha Izumi called out in surprise.

"Izumi, long time no see."

Uchiha Itachi turned around and greeted her.

"Itachi recognized him just by looking at his back?"

Yuhi Kurenai teased, "Itachi two really are good friends."

Uchiha Itachi had no reaction, but Uchiha Izumi felt a bit embarrassed.

"Lord Tsunade."

After nodding to Uchiha Itachi, Kitazawa looked toward Tsunade.

"There is a troublesome matter recently."

Tsunade rubbed her brow and said, "Fuguki Suikazan is leading a team nearby, engaging in harassment tactics."

"Haven't Itachi sent anyone to deal with him?"

Kitazawa inquired.

Although Fuguki Suikazan's strength was decent, he was not unbeatable.

"We have, but they all returned without success."

Tsunade sighed and said, "Once this Hidden Mist squad senses something is wrong, they flee. We simply cannot catch them."

"What about the Hyuga clan?"

Kitazawa paused, then asked again.

"Every time they flee, they use the Water Style: Hidden Mist Jutsu."

Tsunade replied, "The Byakugan has no good way to deal with them."

The mist of the Water Style: Hidden Mist Jutsu is composed of chakra.

If the range of the mist is large enough, the Byakugan just sees a mass of chakra.

"That does sound very tricky."

Kitazawa agreed.

Fight if they can win, run if they can't.

The ninja squad led by Fuguki Suikazan had mastered the essence of this.

"Other ninja squads have no way to deal with them. What about Itachi? Are Itachi confident?"

Tsunade looked at him and asked.

Although they had brought four thousand Hidden Leaf ninjas this time, there was almost no one whose strength could steadily surpass Kitazawa's.

After a week of failures in the Hidden Leaf, Tsunade had no choice but to hand this difficult mission to Kitazawa.

"I can try."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said.

He possessed 30% Byakugan purity, which was more powerful than the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.

Even against the Water Style: Hidden Mist Jutsu, he could see through it somewhat.

【Current Mission: Stop or kill Fuguki Suikazan.】

【Mission Reward: Two-fifths of a Kakashi-level chakra limit.】

【Do Itachi accept?】

Kitazawa paused, and then his eyes lit up.

He definitely had to accept this system mission!

Fuguki Suikazan was worthy of being one of the stronger members of the first generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

This mission reward was double that of killing Ameyuri Ringo.

"Fuguki Suikazan's ninja squad's movements are unpredictable."

Tsunade nodded and said, "I will have Itachi lead an Anbu squad to cooperate with Itachi."

Only then did Kitazawa understand why Uchiha Itachi was here.

Wasn't this a sure win?

No matter how high Fuguki Suikazan's configuration was, it could not be higher than a Uchiha Itachi who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Of course, Tsunade did not know that Uchiha Itachi had unlocked the Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Proceed with caution."

Tsunade paused and said, "Your safety is more important."

"I understand."

Kitazawa was slightly startled before responding.

"This mission is classified as S-rank. Itachi may depart."

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Itachi will tell Itachi the specific situation regarding Fuguki Suikazan's squad."

"Let's head out first."

After Uchiha Itachi bowed slightly, he left the main tent.

"I didn't expect to be able to go on a mission with Itachi again."

Uchiha Izumi said after they exited the main tent.

"I didn't expect it either."

Uchiha Itachi paused and explained, "I just arrived from the Hidden Leaf Village."

"How is the Ninja Academy now?"

Kitazawa asked upon hearing this.

"Everything is as usual."

Uchiha Itachi said with a light smile, "Sasuke has asked me several times when Itachi will return to teach."

"Given Sasuke's personality, for him to ask such a question, it seems he cares a lot about Teacher Kitazawa."

Uchiha Izumi said with some surprise.

She had a certain understanding of Uchiha Sasuke; he was a typical Uchiha, appearing very cold and aloof.

"Itachi, tell us about the situation with Fuguki Suikazan's squad."

Kitazawa changed the subject.

"Fuguki Suikazan's squad has four members in total, all of whom are Jonin."

Uchiha Itachi said in a deep voice.

"Is Kisame Hoshigaki there?"

Kitazawa's gaze sharpened as he asked.

Four Hidden Mist Jonin was already the highest configuration for a ninja squad.

"No."

Uchiha Itachi shook his head and began to detail the specifics.

Fuguki Suikazan needed no introduction; he was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, skilled in swordsmanship.

The remaining three Jonin, while not as good as Fuguki Suikazan, were very cleverly positioned.

One was an Earth Style Jonin.

He specialized in using Earth Style to find suitable targets for Fuguki Suikazan's squad.

One was a Water Style Jonin.

He was skilled in Water Style: Hidden Mist Jutsu, and his job was combat and rear-guard.

The last one was a medical ninja and sensory ninja.

His role was healing and support.

"No wonder they are so hard to catch."

Kitazawa rubbed his chin, falling into deep thought.

He wondered if his 30% Byakugan purity could catch them.

"These are the locations where their ninja squad has appeared."

Uchiha Itachi took out a map.

Kitazawa took a look; the range was quite broad.

If one were to draw a straight line from the seaside to the Hidden Leaf Village base camp, their area of activity was on the left half near the sea.
