Chapter 744: Teaching in the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I

"Inoichi will handle this matter."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Inoichi Yamanaka and said, "All money involved in the process will be reimbursed by the Hidden Leaf Village."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Inoichi Yamanaka immediately understood.

A funeral requires flowers.

The Yamanaka clan ran quite a few flower shops, so they were quite suitable for this task.

Of course, besides flowers, there were other things to prepare.

One thing after another was arranged.

In the blink of an eye, the meeting had lasted two hours.

"Today's meeting ends here."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and said after confirming that everything had been arranged.

After he finished speaking, he left the conference room.

Following his departure, the other Jonin also dispersed one after another.

"There's no rest even after the war is over."

Tsunade frowned, bit her finger, and said with dissatisfaction.

"This is called 'the capable work more'."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"What are Itachi laughing at? Itachi can't escape either."

Tsunade turned to look at him and said, "Itachi don't need to teach class this week; just focus on assisting me."

"Yes."

Kitazawa was slightly taken aback and said, "Since it's Lady Tsunade's order, I will complete it even if it kills me."

As for returning to the Ninja Academy to teach, he hadn't taught for two and a half months anyway, so one more week wouldn't matter.

"That's more like it."

Tsunade curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, it's not just Itachi; I'll call Shizune and Shikaku and the others to help."

"Hmm."

Kitazawa nodded.

"Let's start tomorrow."

Tsunade glanced out the window and said, "I'll call Itachi when I go out."

They had arrived at the Hidden Leaf Village at ten in the morning and had a two-hour meeting, so it was already noon.

It would seem inhumane to make them work without resting for half a day.

And most importantly, Tsunade wanted to go to the casino.

She had been abstaining from gambling for two and a half months!

Two and a half months—who knew how she had managed to endure it.

"Alright, see Itachi tomorrow."

Tsunade got up and walked out.

At the door of the conference room, she suddenly stopped.

"This is for Itachi."

Tsunade tossed it casually and said, "Consider it your reward for assisting me this week."

Kitazawa hadn't reacted yet when he saw a black shadow streak through the air and fly toward him.

He subconsciously grabbed it.

The warm touch made him pause.

Kitazawa steadied himself, his gaze subconsciously falling on the necklace in his hand.

It was a pendant necklace, hanging a crystal that looked green.

Kitazawa twitched his mouth, having already recognized it.

This was the First Hokage's necklace, Hashirama Senju's relic, and also the thing Tsunade cherished most.

Inside the green crystal was Hashirama Senju's chakra.

In the original work, it could even suppress Naruto Uzumaki when he went berserk with the Nine-Tails.

Kitazawa receiving this necklace meant he had already gained Tsunade's recognition.

But the problem was that everyone who had previously gained Tsunade's recognition had died; even Naruto Uzumaki hadn't been spared and had died once.

Because of this, in his previous life, Naruto fans called it the Death Necklace.

Kitazawa shook his head.

Tsunade had disappeared without a trace, and he had lost the opportunity to return it to her.

Besides, if he returned something she had given away, Kitazawa felt he would be beaten to death by her on the spot.

"I'm also a person with a system cheat; my life is tough, I'll definitely be able to handle it."

Kitazawa thought and put on the necklace.

He looked left and right; his clothes completely covered the necklace, and at a glance, one couldn't tell he was wearing one.

It wasn't as obvious as it was on Tsunade.

Kitazawa let out a soft 'huh'.

It wasn't obvious when Tsunade wore it either, at least he had no impression of it.

After all, there were places far better looking than the necklace.

【Current Task: Build fame for your team in this war.】

【Task Reward: Kekkei Genkai and corresponding ninjutsu.】

【Host has completed the task; rewards are being issued.】

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow as he looked at the three lines of text that had suddenly appeared.

Is it finally completed?

He had thought this system task would be completed when the Hidden Mist Village conceded, but he hadn't expected it to be completed only after returning to the Hidden Leaf Village.

【In this war, your team gained extremely high popularity; it can be said that everyone in the Hidden Leaf Village knows about it.】

【Based on the fame assessment, the host gains Magnet Release and nine Magnet Release ninjutsu.】

A large amount of information flooded into his mind.

Kitazawa stood stunned in place.

After several minutes, he finally absorbed and digested the information.

His first reaction was that he had made a huge profit.

Learning nine Magnet Release ninjutsu at once—it was no exaggeration to say he had now completely mastered Magnet Release.

Magnet Release, simply put, was controlling gold or iron through magnetic force.

In the original work, there were quite a few ninjas who knew Magnet Release.

The Third Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village, the Fourth Kazekage, and Toroi of the Hidden Cloud Village, etc.

In the official lore, it was also mentioned that Gaara inherited the Magnet Release of his father, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa.

The Magnet Release of the Third Kazekage and the Fourth Kazekage were different.

The former controlled iron, the latter controlled gold.

The nine Magnet Release ninjutsu rewarded by the system came precisely from the Third Kazekage.

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Rain, Magnet Release: Iron Sand Wall, Magnet Release: Iron Sand Wings, and Magnet Release: Iron Sand World Method, etc.

The Third Kazekage was known as the strongest Kazekage.

Although he died quite frustratingly, his strength was still good.

After being turned into a human puppet, he played a huge role in Sasori's hands.

In short, he was a solid Kage-level powerhouse.

Kitazawa felt that he had now become another Third Kazekage.

In terms of strength, compared to before, it could be said that he had increased quite a bit.

Especially since Magnet Release could attack, defend, and fly; it was quite comprehensive.

After this system task was completed, all of Kitazawa's war tasks were completely finished.

All in all, it was still very profitable.

These two and a half months hadn't been wasted.

Kitazawa walked while pondering his next plans.

The first thing was to help Tsunade complete her work of rewarding based on merit.

By the way, help her find a Jonin from the Hyuga clan.

The second thing was to return to the Ninja Academy to teach.

Although war was easy to trigger tasks, it was already over.

If he wanted to trigger tasks, he still had to rely on Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and the others.

The third thing was Danzo Shimura.

He shouldn't be able to hold back for too long; when a suitable opportunity arose, he would take action against Tsunade.

It was just that he didn't know the specific time.

Kitazawa was thoughtful.

How about he and Tsunade find a way to set a trap and lure him out actively?

It could be considered.

The fourth thing was his system tasks.

Now his system tasks were few, with seven remaining.

Kitazawa planned to complete the task of modifying the medical forbidden jutsu: Body Regeneration first.

If fast, he could create the medical ninjutsu for limb regeneration in these two weeks.

At that time, he would discuss promoting it with Tsunade to expand the influence to the maximum.

In that case, he would be able to get the maximum reward for this task.

He just didn't know what it would be.

Kitazawa felt it shouldn't be bad.

After all, the medical ninjutsu for limb regeneration, regardless of its use or influence, was already maxed out.

And the fifth and sixth things had a certain correlation.

That was finding Sasori to make a puppet and finding Aoi Rokusho to get back the Thunder God Sword.

Aoi Rokusho was now a ninja of the Hidden Rain Village.

The Hidden Rain Village actually already belonged to the Akatsuki.

Kitazawa felt he could talk to Konan.

When they met last time, Konan had invited him, saying if he had any commissions, he should feel free to find her.

Kitazawa arrived at the Hyuga clan.

"Kitazawa, why are Itachi here?"
