Chapter 914: Teaching in the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I am Tsunade
Before the Hidden Sound Village, the most famous ninja clan in the Land of Fields was the Fuma clan.
They tried to use Orochimaru's power to revive their clan, but ended up being used instead, which ultimately led to heavy losses for the Fuma clan and total failure.
Although the Fuma clan didn't join the Hidden Sound Village, they still worked for Orochimaru.
Their mission was to monitor ninja from other villages near the Hidden Sound Village.
Once they discovered that their target was the Hidden Sound Village, they would kill them.
In the original story, they had once attacked Jiraiya and Naruto Uzumaki and the others.
Kitazawa soon found the compound of the Fuma clan.
The Fuma clan had already declined; now only three Jonin remained: Kagerou Fuma, Jigumo Fuma, and Kamikiri Fuma.
Kitazawa didn't have a conflict with them; he took a look and left.
As he walked, he performed hand seals.
His body and appearance both changed, becoming the likeness of Kamikiri Fuma.
Kitazawa entered the Hidden Sound Village smoothly and began intelligence gathering.
With his strength, the only person in the Hidden Sound Village who could see through his Transformation Jutsu was Orochimaru.
As long as he didn't approach the leader's building in the Hidden Sound Village where Orochimaru was, he would be fine.
Actually, Kitazawa could also have snuck in directly.
But he still transformed into the likeness of Kamikiri Fuma, just in case.
Kitazawa raised an eyebrow and entered a large underground hall silently.
The layout of this underground hall looked very much like an arena.
At this moment, a large number of boys and girls were fighting to the death.
Kitazawa was thoughtful.
These boys and girls were clearly the geniuses collected by Orochimaru.
On one hand, it was to select usable subordinates, but on the other hand, it was to obtain qualified vessels.
Orochimaru devoted himself to researching the art of immortality, which eventually led him to create the Living Corpse Reincarnation.
Simply put, it meant changing into a new body after the current one aged, so he needed vessels.
In the original story, the reason Orochimaru taught Sasuke Uchiha so carefully was because Sasuke Uchiha was the perfect vessel he had chosen.
After Kitazawa left the underground hall, he continued to tour the Hidden Sound Village.
A moment later, he saw a boy with long white hair, Kimimaro Kaguya.
At this time, he was not the sickly weakling who could only lie in bed as in the original story.
Kitazawa suddenly had an idea.
Let Kimimaro Kaguya join the Genius Class.
The current Genius Class had a relatively fixed ranking and needed someone to stir things up.
Kimimaro Kaguya was very suitable.
First, in terms of age, he met the conditions.
Kimimaro Kaguya and Haku were about the same age, which meant he was two or three years older than Naruto Uzumaki and the others.
Second, in terms of strength, he possessed the potential to compete for the top spot in the Genius Class.
The Shikotsumyaku was considered a leader among Kekkei Genkai, with a terrifying ability to freely manipulate all the bones in the body.
And his bones possessed a hardness comparable to swords, capable of both attack and defense.
While being nearly invincible in close combat, he also possessed decent long-range attack capabilities.
The problem was that there were two issues.
First, he had the Kekkei Genkai disease.
In the original story, he died from the onset of this disease.
Even Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi couldn't save him.
However, the Hidden Leaf Village now had medical ninja like Lady Tsunade, Kitazawa, Kabuto Yakushi, Nonou Yakushi, and Shizune, so there might be hope.
Second, he only listened to Orochimaru's orders.
If Kitazawa wanted him to join the Genius Class, he had to deal with Orochimaru.
On this point, there was a certain possibility.
Kitazawa's original plan was to cooperate with Orochimaru and have him help the Hidden Leaf Village with scientific research.
Of course, many restrictive conditions would be added.
As for whether Orochimaru would agree, he most likely would.
Because he didn't want to die.
Kitazawa toured the Hidden Sound Village.
He encountered Kimimaro Kaguya and Guren, but didn't encounter the other four of the Sound Four.
It seemed to be about the same as he had guessed.
They were too young and hadn't yet become Orochimaru's subordinates.
Kitazawa had investigated enough, so he left the Hidden Sound Village.
He returned to the Hidden Leaf Village on the morning of the next day.
The Heart of the Ocean jewelry store had already opened.
On his way to the Anbu base, Kitazawa detoured to take a look; business was very good, and there were queues.
It was just opening, and with Lady Tsunade as publicity, such popularity was normal.
After a while, there wouldn't be so many customers.
Ninja had good earning power, but their consumption was also high.
For example, purchasing ninja tools, explosive tags, and medical expenses.
Under normal circumstances, only Jonin would have spare money to buy jewelry.
Kitazawa returned to his office at the Anbu base.
He picked up paper and pen and began to write the intelligence on the Hidden Sound Village, including the intelligence on the Fuma clan.
The compound of the Fuma clan was not far from the Hidden Sound Village.
When the Hidden Leaf Village formed a siege around Orochimaru, they would definitely discover it, so they had to be dealt with first.
Kitazawa was halfway through writing when he suddenly realized something was missing.
He looked up and called out, "Konan."
But there was no response.
"Did she return to the Akatsuki?"
Kitazawa was a bit puzzled, but didn't care and continued writing the intelligence.
Half an hour later, he had written a full scroll of intelligence.
Kitazawa checked it once, and there were indeed no problems, so he got up and went to the Hokage Building.
When he arrived at the Hokage office, he knocked on the door and then pushed it open and walked in.
"Lady Tsunade, this is the intelligence on the Hidden Sound Village."
Kitazawa handed over the scroll he had written.
"So fast?"
Lady Tsunade was full of surprise.
Had he already investigated the situation of a ninja village in less than two days?
If it were anyone else, she would have thought they were joking with her.
But Kitazawa was quite serious when it came to major matters.
"The Hidden Sound Village was established recently, so there wasn't much intelligence to collect."
Kitazawa replied.
"That's true."
Lady Tsunade nodded and opened the scroll to read.
A moment later, she closed the scroll.
"Orochimaru is indeed quite capable."
Lady Tsunade commented, "Given enough time, the Hidden Sound Village might become an existence second only to the Five Great Villages."
She was referring to the genius-cultivating mechanism similar to the Root.
It was just that the method was too cruel.
She didn't know where Orochimaru had found so many geniuses.
"For our Hidden Leaf Village, the only threat is Orochimaru."
Lady Tsunade chuckled, her tone becoming much more relaxed.
She had previously worried that the Hidden Sound Village was too strong and would cause heavy losses to the Hidden Leaf Village.
But now it seemed that the Hidden Sound Village was just a small ninja village, and the threat it could pose was limited.
"I think this Kimimaro Kaguya is a talent that can be used and can join the Genius Class."
Kitazawa paused and said, "Moreover, he suffers from a Kekkei Genkai disease, so he can also become a subject for our treatment."
Kekkei Genkai disease was a rare disease in the ninja world, appearing only with a very small probability.
Most medical ninja had never seen it, let alone had relevant information.
Kitazawa's meaning was very simple.
Kimimaro Kaguya had decent medical value.
Kitazawa was worried that he would be killed in the battle between the Hidden Leaf Village and the Hidden Sound Village.
Therefore, he told Lady Tsunade in advance so that his life could be spared.
"Kekkei Genkai disease? It can indeed be researched."
Lady Tsunade nodded and asked again, "But if he joins the Genius Class, can he be well-behaved?"
"He listens to Orochimaru."
Kitazawa knew what she was worried about, so he said, "Only when Orochimaru is in our hands will he definitely comply."
"That's good."
Seeing that he had already considered it very clearly, Lady Tsunade didn't say anything more.
After all, Kitazawa was the teacher of the Genius Class; he would certainly not be detrimental to the students.
"When shall we take action?"
Kitazawa reminded, "I think the sooner the better, so Orochimaru doesn't have time to prepare."
"In that case, let's do it on Saturday."
Lady Tsunade thought for a moment and said.
Fighting a war, even a small-scale one, could not be done in a rush.
Today was Wednesday, and there were two days until Saturday, which would allow the ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village to make pre-war preparations.
"Kitazawa, I'll trouble Itachi to notify them over these two days."
Lady Tsunade didn't hesitate to become a hands-off manager.
Kitazawa had been to the Hidden Sound Village and understood its strength the best.
