Chapter 90

Kitazawa didn't know that Kakashi Hatake had already taken the blame for him.

He and Hinata Hyuga returned home.

Besides them, there was also Hinata Hyuga's bodyguard, Tokuma Hyuga.

But he had always been hidden in the dark and didn't appear.

The reason Kitazawa could get along with Hinata Hyuga so casually was entirely because of Hiashi Hyuga's tacit approval.

The reason was that Hiashi Hyuga saw the change in Hinata Hyuga's personality.

He had once tried to find ways to correct her personality, but the results were getting worse and worse, leading to the birth of Hanabi Hyuga.

Now that Hiashi Hyuga saw hope, he didn't interfere with Kitazawa.

"Hinata."

Kitazawa opened the door and said with a smile, "I want to hire you as a clerk in this shop and help me sell things for three hours."

"Eh?"

Hinata Hyuga, who was looking around curiously, was stunned.

"How about it?"

Kitazawa picked up a price list from the counter and asked, "Are you interested?"

His goal was very simple: to let Hinata Hyuga practice her courage.

The main problem with her personality was that she was introverted; more contact and communication with people would improve it.

"I..."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Hinata Hyuga agreed.

"This is the price list."

After Kitazawa handed her the price list, he said, "I'll take you to familiarize yourself with these products."

Just then, four lines of text appeared before his eyes.

Kitazawa glanced at them and was stunned.

[Your lifelong rival Naruto Uzumaki has found a squad leader, and you can't fall behind.]

[Current Task: Before graduation, find a squad leader who is stronger in status and strength than Kakashi Hatake.]

[Task Reward: Reward issued based on the squad leader.]

[Do you accept?]

A large amount of information about the rewards flooded into Kitazawa's mind.

If he became Hiruzen Sarutobi's student, he could get the Five Elements: Great Elemental Barrage Jutsu.

If it was Tsunade, it would be the Yin Seal.

If it was Jiraiya, it would be the Super Giant Rasengan.

If it was Danzo Shimura, it would be the Reverse Four-Symbols Sealing Jutsu.

Kitazawa rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.

No, brother, is this task meant for humans? If you give it to me, can I do it?

According to the rules of the Hidden Leaf Village, after graduating from the Ninja Academy, a squad leader will be assigned based on performance.

But the problem was that Kitazawa had graduated many years ago.

If he really wanted to find a squad leader, he could fool around a bit.

However, the system gave a specific range, and there was no way to fool around.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Danzo Shimura—each was a hell-level difficulty.

Kitazawa thought about it and felt that Tsunade's possibility was greater.

The premise was that Yakumo Kurama could cure her hemophobia.

Kitazawa sighed, came back to his senses, and continued to introduce products to Hinata Hyuga.

After she became familiar, he gave the counter position to her.

Hinata Hyuga sat at the counter, staring at the door nervously.

A few minutes later, a young ninja walked in.

"W-welcome!"

Hinata Hyuga hurriedly stood up and shouted.

"Senior Kitazawa, when did you get such a cute clerk here?"

The young ninja asked in surprise.

"Izumo."

Kitazawa smiled and explained, "This is my student, Hinata Hyuga."

The young ninja was named Izumo Kamizuki, known as one of the gatekeepers of the Hidden Leaf along with Kotetsu Hagane.

In the original work, he served as a proctor for the Chunin Exams and also fought against Kakuzu and Hidan of the Akatsuki organization with Asuma Sarutobi.

"Actually hiring a student?"

Izumo Kamizuki joked, "Hinata, remember to ask your teacher for double wages."

"Ah? I... I don't want money!"

Hinata Hyuga glanced at Kitazawa, blushed deeply, and hurriedly shook her head.

"Alright, what do you want to buy today?"

Kitazawa smiled and said, "I'll give you a 10% discount."

"Rare to see you so generous for once."

Izumo Kamizuki's eyes lit up and he said, "Then I won't be polite, Senior Kitazawa."

"Hinata."

Kitazawa instructed, "Record what he took and calculate the bill."

"O-okay!"

Although Hinata Hyuga was flustered, she didn't make any mistakes.

Three hours later, Kitazawa closed the door and ended today's business.

Hinata Hyuga let out a long sigh of relief.

As the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, the experience of being a clerk was very amazing, and she also met many people.

At first, she was very at a loss, but now she was much more composed.

Thursday afternoon.

Kitazawa watched Sakura Haruno successfully climb to the top of the tree and couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise.

Completing tree-climbing training in four days, this chakra control ability was truly amazing.

No wonder Sakura Haruno could inherit Tsunade's medical ninjutsu and become one of the new Legendary Sannin.

[Current Task: Help your classmate Sakura Haruno complete tree-climbing training.]

[Task Reward: Hemostasis Jutsu.]

[Host has completed the task, reward issued.]

Kitazawa smiled slightly.

This Hemostasis Jutsu was like picking it up for free; it was truly a huge profit.

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at Sakura Haruno.

He didn't expect her to be faster than him in tree-climbing training.

But... still too annoying.

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the leaf in his hand.

The leaf had lost its water color and was in a withered state.

This was the result of his four days.

Keep working hard!

Uchiha Sasuke felt infinite motivation as soon as he thought about surpassing Itachi Uchiha in Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu.

Kitazawa arranged advanced tree-climbing training for Sakura Haruno.

But unfortunately, it didn't trigger a new task.

Time finally came to Friday; the two morning classes were canceled and changed to an awards ceremony.

Kitazawa came to the office and saw the nervous Hinata Hyuga.
