Chapter 911: Teaching in the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I

"I wonder how high it will go in the end!"

Tsunade said with an excited tone.

"Maybe it can reach one hundred million."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"One hundred million? That's impossible."

Tsunade subconsciously shook her head and said.

One hundred million, for a ninja, was already an astronomical figure.

The bounty on Asuma Sarutobi's head was only thirty-five million ryo.

Taking Jiraiya as an example, the total reward for all the missions he had done in his life was probably around six hundred million.

Although he was often away, he had done quite a lot of missions, and he could be considered a standout among Jonin.

Most importantly, his strength was formidable, and most of his missions were high-level.

For instance, he had completed six hundred and fourteen A-rank missions and one hundred and thirty-eight S-rank missions.

An ordinary Jonin, in their entire life, would struggle to reach even a third of that mission volume, let alone half.

Half an hour later, only three noble ladies remained participating in the bidding.

These three ladies were the most prestigious aside from the Daimyo's Lady.

They didn't get along with each other, so they kept competing.

Tsunade bit her lip.

She felt she hadn't been this nervous even during her first S-rank mission.

In the end, as she expected, it didn't reach one hundred million ryo, but it did reach eighty million.

"So much money!"

Tsunade's eyes were sparkling like jewels.

"Itachi're a Hokage, after all; how can Itachi have no image like this?"

Kitazawa looked at her expression and asked with a smile.

Tsunade was in a good mood and didn't mind his teasing.

Of these eighty million ryo, she could take a ten percent cut, which was eight million ryo—enough for her to squander in the casinos for a long time.

And this was just the beginning.

"Can't think too much."

Tsunade quickly shook her head and said, "Once I think about so much money, I feel like being a ninja has no meaning."

"How does it have no meaning?"

Kitazawa glanced at the sky and said, "The ninja world is ultimately ruled by strength."

After the Akatsuki launches the Eye of the Moon plan and Kaguya Otsutsuki descends, no matter how much money Itachi have, Itachi're just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Once Itachi have invincible strength, Itachi don't need to hold any necklace auctions; these people will take the initiative to send money to Itachi.

As for now, Kitazawa would temporarily abide by the ninja code.

"How are Itachi more open-minded than me?"

Tsunade asked, puzzled.

Logically speaking, a young person like Kitazawa should be the most unable to resist temptation.

But he remained very calm in the face of a massive sum like eighty million.

"I personally prefer to pursue strength."

Kitazawa said casually.

He couldn't tell Tsunade that it was because he had seen aliens.

"Hmph, and yet Itachi said Itachi'd keep the money for me."

Tsunade pouted and said, "Better to just give the money to me."

"That is an impossible thing."

Kitazawa met her gaze and said calmly.

"Detestable!"

Tsunade said unhappily upon hearing this, "I am your teacher!"

"The auction is over, it's time for us to appear. Itachi make a list of the noble ladies who want custom jewelry later."

After Kitazawa finished speaking, he walked into the courtyard.

Tsunade felt like she had punched a cotton ball.

This student of hers wasn't afraid of her at all, which left her with no dignity as a teacher.

Yet Kitazawa was too excellent, and she really couldn't suppress him.

The two were busy until nightfall before they finished dealing with the group of noble ladies.

Kitazawa looked at the money in the bankbook and nodded with satisfaction.

Although the ninja world is ruled by strength, the role of money is still very significant.

After all, not every ninja can walk the path of invincibility.

These eighty million ryo actually came very easily to him, and there was no cost.

All the raw materials came from the ocean.

At most, he just needed to pay some wages to the Hyuga clan and the Gato Shipping Company.

Kitazawa was now curious about what reaction Hiashi Hyuga would have after seeing so much money.

It was a perfect opportunity to have him increase the manpower.

"Let me see!"

Tsunade leaned in and said loudly.

She went to the casino whenever she had money, so she had never saved any money, only a pile of IOUs.

Eighty million ryo could be considered the largest sum of money she had ever gotten her hands on.

Kitazawa opened the bankbook and faced it toward her.

But when she reached out to grab the bankbook, he pulled it away.

"Am I that kind of person in your eyes?"

Tsunade asked, speechless.

"We've been playing in the capital for a week; when are we going back?"

Kitazawa decisively changed the subject.

"Tomorrow."

Tsunade paused, then became excited again, "Tonight Itachi accompany me to the casino!"

"Itachi just earned eight million ryo, and Itachi want to lose it all?"

Kitazawa shook his head and asked.

"What are Itachi saying?"

Tsunade couldn't help but punch him and said with great confidence, "I'm definitely going to win from eight million ryo to eighty million!"

But the facts proved that when it came to gambling, there were no surprises for her.

*Crack.*

Tsunade, who had lost all night, walked down the street and crushed a stone into powder with her foot.

Kitazawa's eyelids twitched as he watched.

Those high-heeled sandals would definitely be lethal if they stepped on someone.

Kitazawa followed her without saying much, to avoid being implicated.

The two returned to the Daimyo's mansion.

"Wake me up tomorrow!"

Tsunade returned to her room, her anger not yet subsided.

The next morning, after breakfast, the two said goodbye to the Daimyo's family and left the capital of the Land of Fire.

Because Tsunade had already played for a week, they traveled at a normal speed on the way back, and by nightfall, they arrived at the Hidden Leaf Village.

"When do Itachi plan to go to the Hidden Sound Village?"

Tsunade stopped at her doorstep and looked at Kitazawa.

"Give me a week."

Kitazawa thought for a moment and said.

"Hmm."

Tsunade paused and said, "Your safety is the most important thing; if we don't catch Orochimaru, we can just wait for the next time."

She finished speaking and walked into the house, closing the door without waiting for Kitazawa's reply.

"I'm home!"

Kitazawa opened the door and shouted toward the living room.

A fragrant breeze rushed toward him.

Kurenai Yuhi flashed in front of him and hugged him.

She had been extremely unaccustomed to being alone this past week.

Kitazawa lowered his head and, without saying a word, kissed her.

After a few minutes of "lip-to-lip combat," they reluctantly separated.

"Why were Itachi two gone for so long?"

Kurenai Yuhi caught her breath and asked curiously.

"Mainly because the promotion took quite a bit of time."

Kitazawa pulled her into the living room and asked, "Guess how much our first necklace sold for?"

"At least thirty million ryo."

Kurenai Yuhi thought for a moment and said.

She had also seen the necklace used for the auction; it was covered in various gems, diamonds, and jade, and looked expensive at a glance.

"It was eighty million ryo."

Kitazawa sat on the sofa and pulled her into his arms.

"That much?"

Kurenai Yuhi widened her eyes and subconsciously sat on his lap.

"They were all noble ladies, very wealthy."

Kitazawa rubbed her thigh and said with a smile, "And most importantly, it's about face."

"We're rich!"

Kurenai Yuhi excitedly kissed him on the cheek and said.

She suddenly felt that life had lost its motivation.

Eighty million ryo—it would take eighty S-rank missions to earn that much.

In fact, she had completed fewer than twenty S-rank missions to date.

After all, she had only recently become a Jonin.
