A new day, Tuesday.
Kitazawa walked down the street, thinking about what happened last night, and couldn't help but shake his head.
He thought Tsunade had forgiven Hiruzen, but she hadn't.
At dinner time, she got drunk again and was eventually taken home by Shizune and Kurenai.
Because it was too late, Kitazawa didn't mention learning the Infinite Darkness Jutsu to Kurenai.
But he didn't have time this afternoon either; he had to go to Konoha Hospital to assist Shizune in surgery and learn the chakra scalpel technique.
Thinking about this, Kitazawa went to Kurenai's house instead. If not in the afternoon, then in the morning. Anyway, he didn't have anything important to do in the morning, so he could instruct Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga.
Kitazawa took out his key, opened the door, and went inside. He looked around and found that no one was in the living room.
"Not up yet?"
Kitazawa thought to himself, "Looks like she drank a lot last night."
Tsunade liked to drink, and Kurenai wasn't much different.
The two of them drank the most last night.
"What's something to sober up with?"
Kitazawa opened the refrigerator and found milk. He took the milk to the kitchen and started making breakfast.
To go with the milk, he planned to make sandwiches, simple and quick.
After a moment, Kitazawa heard light footsteps. He turned and went to the door, looking down the hallway. Kurenai was walking along, yawning, still half asleep.
Kitazawa's eyes lit up.
She had just gotten up and hadn't changed her clothes; a silk nightgown clung tightly to her body, and as she walked, her graceful silhouette was vaguely visible. She wasn't wearing anything except the silk nightgown.
"Huh?"
Kurenai suddenly saw Kitazawa as she walked and froze.
"Huh what?"
Kitazawa openly admired her curvaceous figure.
"Am I dreaming?"
Kurenai shook her head and walked up to him.
"Do you think you're dreaming?"
Kitazawa raised his hand and pinched her thigh. The silk nightgown was thin, and he could clearly feel the softness of Kurenai's thigh.
"When did you get here?"
Hong woke up, rolled her eyes at him, and asked.
"Not long ago," Kitazawa said with a light laugh. "Come have breakfast after you wash up."
"Okay."
Kurenai went into the bathroom.
When she picked up her toothbrush and saw herself in the mirror, she suddenly froze. What was the difference between her wearing this silk nightgown and being half-exposed?
And last night, because she had been drinking, she had only worn a silk nightgown. A blush gradually appeared on Kurenai's face.
After a while, she managed to suppress her emotions. After washing up, she suddenly sped up as she passed the kitchen and quickly returned to her room.
She breathed a sigh of relief after changing her clothes again.
When Kurenai came out of her room, she met Kitazawa's ambiguous smile.
She understood, and two more blushes appeared on her face.
"Come and eat," Kitazawa beckoned to her and asked with a smile, "Why are you blushing?"
"None of your business!"
Kurenai snorted, sat down opposite him, and kicked him lightly.
"Then why did you kick me?"
Kitazawa looked down at her bare feet and asked.
"I was happy, is that wrong?" Kurenai asked matter-of-factly.
"Fine."
Kitazawa chuckled, handed her the milk, and said, "Drink this to sober up."
Kurenai looked at the milk, opening her mouth.
Kitazawa had come over early this morning to cook for her and help her sober up, but she… I really deserve to die!
Kurenai took the warm milk, took a sip, and then looked up at him.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Kitazawa picked up a sandwich and said, "Eat."
"Thank you," Kurenai said earnestly.
"You're thanking me too soon," Kitazawa said with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
Kurenai took a bite of her sandwich and asked.
"I'll teach you a magic trick later," Kitazawa replied.
"What did you say?"
Kurenai wondered if she had misheard and asked instinctively, "You're going to teach me illusion magic?"
"That's right." Kitazawa teased, "So what should you call me now?"
"Are you still half asleep?" Kurenai rolled her eyes. "Even though you have a great talent for illusion magic, you've only learned five illusion techniques and you want to be my teacher?"
"Do you know the Infinite Darkness Jutsu?" Kitazawa countered.
"Of course I know, it's.."
Kurenai stopped mid-sentence, suddenly realizing something, and asked incredulously, "You know the Infinite Darkness Jutsu?"
"Correct, but there's no reward."
Kitazawa reached out and pinched her cheek.
"How is that possible?"
Kurenai didn't even notice his cheek-pinching and quickly asked, "Where did you learn it?"
"It's a secret." Kitazawa blinked. "Do you want to learn?"
"I…" Kurenai hesitated.
Logically speaking, it wasn't in accordance with the rules for her to learn the Infinite Darkness Jutsu from Kitazawa.
But she had already broken rules once before, by learning the Rasengan.
"I'll learn from you," Kurenai said, pursing her lips.
"So how are you going to thank me?"
Kitazawa looked at her and asked with a smile.
"What do you want as thanks?" Kurenai met his gaze. "Do you want me to wear a business suit today?"
"Not today," Kitazawa said seriously. "Today I'm the teacher, and you're the student."
"Pervert!" Kurenai retorted irritably.
"What's perverted about it?" Kitazawa said seriously. "I'm teaching you the Infinite Darkness Jutsu, so I'm your teacher."
Kurenai was silent for two seconds, then relaxed; that was her personality.
Under Kitazawa's gaze, she stood up, bent down, and whispered in his ear.
"Kitazawa-sensei, how do you want me to thank you?"
Kurenai bit his ear, blew a breath, and asked with a smile.
Kitazawa felt her fragrant breath and couldn't help but gasp.
Kurenai's smile deepened. She kissed his ear, the kiss sliding down to his lips.
Kitazawa immediately felt the soft touch.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Kurenai sat down again, but the blush on her face betrayed her emotions. This was the first time she had ever acted so boldly.
"Aren't you…aren't you going to give your students special training this morning?" Kurenai asked, picking up a glass of warm milk.
"You're coming with me." Kitazawa paused. "Are you busy this morning?"
"No," Kurenai shook her head. "Lady Tsunade and Shizune usually don't come until the evening."
"Lady Tsunade lost all her time yesterday, so she has to be in charge of the next ninjutsu alone."
Kitazawa couldn't help but laugh.
Of course, even if they said that, they wouldn't refuse if they were actually asked to help.
"Is Lady Tsunade's card-playing skill always like this?" Kurenai asked.
"To describe it in one sentence: she always loses." Kitazawa replied.
"That's really… impressive."
Kurenai paused two seconds before commenting.
Yesterday, she initially thought she had talent for playing cards, only to realize later that it wasn't talent, Tsunade was just too bad at it.
"Doesn't it feel like Lady Tsunade's image has collapsed?" Kitazawa teased.
"Not really," Kurenai shook her head. "Lady Tsunade's image mainly comes from her status and strength."
Kitazawa recalled that saying again:
Although she drank and gambled, she was a good ninja.
After finishing breakfast, the two went to the Ninja Academy together.
"So many Shadow Clones?"
Kurenai was stunned when she arrived at the artificial lake and saw a large group of Naruto Uzumaki.
Anyone would find it unbelievable to see a six-year-old boy using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
And the number was outrageous; she couldn't even do that.
"Have you forgotten Naruto's identity?" Kitazawa smiled and reminded her.
"Although I knew a little about it, seeing it with my own eyes still feels outrageous," Kurenai complained. "In front of him, I feel like all my years of hard work have been for nothing."
"That's how the ninja world is," Kitazawa said, forming hand seals and creating a shadow clone. "You can instruct those two here."
The shadow clone nodded and walked toward Naruto.
"I'll teach you the Infinite Darkness Jutsu now."
Kitazawa turned to look at Kurenai and smiled. "Even the strongest ninja will lose a lot of power without sight."
"That's right." Kurenai 's spirits lifted. "Once I learn the Infinite Darkness Jutsu, I'll teach these geniuses a lesson!"
"Let's listen to the lesson first."
Kitazawa took her hand and led her to a bench by the artificial lake. The Infinite Darkness Jutsu is an A-rank genjutsu. Kurenai doesn't have as many advantages as Kitazawa, so it's naturally not easy for her to learn. But that's okay; there's still plenty of time, she can learn slowly.
Night fell.
A group of people gathered at Kurenai 's house.
Kyoka Suigetsu has been created, and next is the new ninjutsu.
"Lady Tsunade, what are your thoughts?" Kurenai asked. "Will it be like Kyoka Suigetsu, imitating Yakumo's genjutsu Kekkei Genkai?"
"Yakumo's genjutsu painting is a bit like Super Beast Imitation Painting," Kitazawa said suddenly.
Genjutsu Shinsei turns the contents of a painting into reality.
Super Beast Imitation Painting draws on a scroll with a brush and creates a physical form.
Although they sound similar, the physical entity is completely different.
Genjutsu True Life creates real, flesh-and-blood entities.
Super Beast Imitation creates entities made of ink and chakra.
"The next ninjutsu can imitate Genjutsu True Life," Tsunade said after a few seconds of silence. "But for this one, I plan to research Emotional Replacement, the technique I've planned for a long time."
Kitazawa was reminded.
Previously, they proposed two methods for treating mental illness.
The fundamental solution: memory sealing.
The symptomatic solution: emotional replacement.
The former has already been researched and a ninjutsu has been developed, but not the latter.
Kitazawa's mind started racing.
Could Tsunade be willing to treat her hemophobia?
In his opinion, emotional replacement should work for hemophobia. Kitazawa didn't ask further. Although he accepted the system's mission to treat hemophobia, this mission couldn't be rushed. Otherwise, it would affect his relationship with Tsunade, a huge loss.
August 28th.
Three days before the start of school.
"Summer vacation went by so fast," Kitazawa said, glancing at the sunlight streaming through the window.
"Do you find classes more tiring, or training?" Kurenai asked, sitting opposite him, taking a bite of fried fish.
Since Kitazawa taught her the Infinite Darkness Jutsu two weeks ago, they'd been eating breakfast together.
After breakfast, they'd go to the school's artificial lake for private lessons.
"They're about the same," Kitazawa said after thinking.
"I thought you'd say training was more tiring," Kurenai said in mild surprise.
"I think training is alright," Kitazawa replied.
"I forgot you're a top-tier ninjutsu genius now; you learn everything quickly, so of course you're not tired," Kurenai pouted.
She'd been learning for two weeks and still hadn't fully mastered the Infinite Darkness Jutsu. Meanwhile, Kitazawa took only a week to learn the Nirvana Temple Jutsu, another A-rank genjutsu. The difference in talent was obvious.
"The main reason is that you're here," Kitazawa said with a laugh.
"You smooth talker!"
Kurenai glared, but a smile crept onto her lips.
"What do you mean?" Kitazawa licked his lips. "Want to try?"
"Eat properly!" Kurenai kicked him lightly.
"Haven't you heard the phrase?" Kitazawa said seriously. "Beauty is food for the eyes."
"Where do you get all this nonsense?" Kurenai complained, biting into fried shrimp.
"I think there's truth to it," Kitazawa corrected her.
"I can't be bothered with you."
Kurenai finished her food, then asked, "When does the academy start?"
"Registration is August 31st, classes begin September 1st."
"After you go to class, I guess I'll be learning the Infinite Darkness Jutsu by myself," Kurenai said, a little reluctant.
With Kitazawa around, she was never bored.
"You can keep practicing at school," Kitazawa said, blinking. "After school starts, there will be lots of students training with you."
"No way!"
Kurenai crossed her arms. "I'm a Chunin. Training with your students? That's not proper!"
"Didn't you train with Naruto and Hinata over summer?" Kitazawa smiled. "Now that there are more people, you're shy?"
"It wouldn't sound good if word got out," Kurenai said. "Anyway, I've almost mastered the technique, it's just a matter of time."
"Alright then."
Kitazawa didn't push further. "If you have problems, come find me."
"Okay." Kurenai smiled. "I'll definitely come bother you often."
After breakfast, the two went to the Academy.
"Kitazawa-sensei! I did it!"
Naruto and his shadow clones swarmed over.
"It's quite… spectacular," Kurenai said, staring at the large group of Narutos in green bodysuits.
"What did you succeed at?" Kitazawa asked, already knowing.
"Look!"
Naruto held out his hand, showing a punctured balloon.
"Congratulations, you completed stage one of the Rasengan."
Kitazawa wasn't surprised.
Two weeks for stage one wasn't fast or slow.
After all, Naruto was only six.
"Today I'll teach you stage two," Kitazawa said. "It's similar to stage one, except the balloon is replaced with a ball a hundred times stronger."
"Huh? A hundred times stronger?" Naruto froze. "Won't that take a year or two?"
"Hey! What's wrong with you?" a clone shouted.
"How can you be so pessimistic?"
"Burn with youth!" another clone yelled.
"Balloons explode, so can balls!"
"Any hardship is nothing before youth!"
The shadow clones instantly regained fighting spirit and started training.
Noon arrived.
All four gathered for lunch.
"Aunt Mikoto's bento is still so delicious!" Naruto mumbled.
"She's really nice," Kurenai said.
Sasuke didn't join training, yet she still brought him lunch daily.
Kitazawa glanced at her. She clearly misunderstood, but he couldn't explain.
After lunch, Kitazawa went to Konoha Hospital, specifically, Yakushi Nono's office.
Tsunade had an office but never used it.
"Shizune hasn't arrived yet," Nonou said.
"Hmm." Kitazawa nodded. "I'll wait."
Shizune's timing depended on Tsunade.
Sitting on the sofa, Kitazawa opened his personal panel.
With summer ending, his strength had skyrocketed.
[Name: Kitazawa.]
[Age: Six years old.]
[Attributes: Wind, Fire, Water, Yin, Yang.]
[Bloodline Limit: Byakugan.]
[Mastery Level: Chakra Control, Chakra Form Transformation.]
[Proficiency Level: Yang Style Chakra Nature Transformation, Yin Style Chakra Nature Transformation.]
[Ninjutsu: Chakra Scalpel, Rasengan, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, etc.]
[Evaluation: An unparalleled super genius. When you grow up, even Kaguya Otsutsuki will tremble.]
Kitazawa counted them.
He currently has the most medical ninjutsu, genjutsu, and fire-style ninjutsu.
But A-rank ninjutsu are few: Chakra Scalpel, Nirvana Abode, Infinite Darkness Jutsu.
He hasn't started wind-style ninjutsu aside from two.
He also has many taijutsu, but the advanced ones are only Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms and the First Gate of the Eight Gates.
The remaining A-ranks are Rasengan and Multiple Shadow Clone.
Kitazawa stroked his chin.
This stat sheet, aside from the crazy evaluation, is close to the limit of a normal ninja.
Beyond that, only two paths remain:
Chakra, and Kekkei Genkai.
