Chapter 833: Teaching in the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I Am Tsunade

"Just arrived."

Sasuke Uchiha paused, then explained, "Breakfast at my house was a little late today."

This had to do with the Uchiha clan moving back into their original compound.

They had held a grand party the previous night to celebrate the occasion.

Fugaku Uchiha, Yashiro Uchiha, and the others had all gotten dead drunk.

Although Sasuke Uchiha hadn't touched any alcohol, he still hadn't been able to sleep due to the noise.

Because outside his window, bursts of joyous, wild laughter kept erupting.

"As long as Itachi're here, Itachi're not late."

Kitazawa clapped his hands, smiled gently, and said, "This mission has a higher difficulty, so Kurenai is joining our squad temporarily."

"How high?"

Naruto Uzumaki asked excitedly upon hearing this, "Could it be a legendary S-rank mission?"

"What are Itachi thinking?"

Kitazawa tapped him on the head and said, "With your current strength, taking on an S-rank mission would only mean throwing your lives away."

"Itachi have absolutely no common sense."

Sasuke Uchiha said coolly.

"Then what level do Itachi think this mission is, Sasuke?"

Naruto Uzumaki turned his head to look at him and asked.

"B-rank."

Sasuke Uchiha said with great certainty.

A-rank and S-rank missions were impossible for a group of students like them to undertake.

But if it were a C-rank, there would be no need to add Kurenai Yuhi, so B-rank was the most likely.

"B-rank is not bad either!"

Naruto Uzumaki said happily.

"Close enough."

Kitazawa nodded and said, "Our mission this time is to capture a rogue ninja named Aoi Rokusho; he possesses the strength of a jonin."

"A jonin?"

Sasuke Uchiha was stunned.

He had thought the enemies they might encounter on this mission would be, at most, special jonin.

Neji Hyuga also wore a look of astonishment.

He hadn't even become a ninja yet, and his first mission was to fight a jonin?

Even as a rare genius of the Hyuga clan, he felt immense pressure.

"How could a ninja betray the Hidden Leaf?"

Naruto Uzumaki's focus was completely different from the other two.

"People are complex; they walk different paths for various reasons."

Kitazawa replied, "Some will die for the Hidden Leaf, while others will defect from it."

"I don't understand."

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head and said, "Everyone in the Hidden Leaf Village is so good."

"Itachi will understand in the future."

Kitazawa patted him on the shoulder and said, "We should get going; Aoi Rokusho won't wait for us."

"Kitazawa-sensei, are we leaving the Land of Fire this time?"

Naruto Uzumaki said with anticipation, "This is my first time leaving the Hidden Leaf Village."

"Our destination this time is the Land of Rivers."

Kitazawa replied, "It's to the south of the Land of Fire."

"What is the Land of Rivers like?"

Naruto Uzumaki's eyes lit up as he asked.

"Itachi'll see when we get there."

Kitazawa shook his head and said.

"Alright, Kitazawa-sensei."

Naruto Uzumaki could only suppress the curiosity in his heart.

"Time to speed up, start running."

Once Kitazawa left the Hidden Leaf Village, he suddenly increased his speed.

"So fast!"

Naruto Uzumaki exclaimed and hurriedly followed.

Sasuke Uchiha used a Body Flicker Jutsu to overtake him and started running in front.

"Sasuke!"

Seeing this, Naruto Uzumaki immediately said, "Let's have a race full of youth, and see who reaches the Land of Rivers first!"

Sasuke Uchiha didn't answer, but his speed increased by a few notches.

"Neji."

Kitazawa instructed, "Itachi are responsible for reconnaissance."

"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."

Neji Hyuga said very calmly.

Night fell.

The group successfully entered the Land of Rivers.

"Haha, I won!"

Naruto Uzumaki said with a face full of smiles.

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha had a dark face and didn't want to pay him any mind.

"Itachi cannot waste your stamina like this during a mission; considering this is your first offense, I will let it slide."

Kitazawa looked at them and said, "Neji performed well, add two points."

"What?"

Naruto Uzumaki's smile suddenly stiffened.

Because he was too excited about his first mission, he had forgotten they were actually in a practical combat exam.

Sasuke Uchiha suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Not only had he failed to outrun Naruto Uzumaki, but he had also let Neji Hyuga gain points.

This was truly a case of failing before the battle had even begun.
