Chapter 162 Tsunade: Kitahara Kaede is a genius! [Fourth update]

It wasn't that Kitahara Kaede didn't want to kill Shimura Danzo right now, but he wasn't entirely confident. Even if Danzo was a complete failure, he was still a Kage-level gatekeeper.

In addition, he has a handful of Sharingan eyes, making his margin for error ridiculously high.

After Sasuke Uchiha awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, his strength steadily reached the Kage level, but he almost got killed in the process.

This was only because Obito Uchiha was there to support him, which made Danzo Shimura wary and he dared not use his full strength.

Moreover, he is always accompanied by experts from the Root Sect, and he rarely leaves the Root Sect, so his range of activity is very small.

Sasuke Uchiha was only able to kill him by catching him through the window where he left Konoha.

If Danzo Shimura had been in Konoha at that time, Sasuke Uchiha would have been completely helpless.

Furthermore, with the existence of the Third Hokage, Kitahara Kaede clearly understood that no matter how angry the Third Hokage was, he would never lay a hand on Shimura Danzo. They had been comrades-in-arms for decades, and he was someone the Third Hokage was comfortable using. What was Kitahara Kaede compared to him?

Kitahara Kaede understood the principle of maintaining harmony even among strangers.

Just like Jiraiya, who still showed leniency to the fleeing and heavily injured Orochimaru, ninjas are outwardly killing machines, but how many of them can truly see themselves as killing machines?

Therefore, the death of the Third Hokage is the best opportunity!

Moreover, he also needs time to improve his strength. Although he has less than half a year left, since he obtained this diary, how long has it been? He has already made such progress. It is almost certain that he will break through to the Kage level in all aspects in the future.

Time is on our side; there's no need to risk forcing things.

Of course, the most important thing is the existence of the Flying Thunder God Technique, which gives Kitahara Kaede confidence in ensuring his safety.

Both Genryu Aya and Keiko Hyuga felt extremely frustrated. They knew that Danzo Shimura was behind it all, but they had no way to retaliate and had to pretend that nothing had happened.

If this gets out, I'm afraid a great disaster will follow!

It's not just a matter of their lack of strength, but also because their status is too low. They are just a Chunin and two Genin. Even if they wanted to accuse Danzo, would anyone believe them?

Or rather, are there people who dare to believe it, or who are willing to believe it?

If it were an elite Jonin like Kakashi Hatake, who had been famous for many years, making a lawsuit, the problem would be much more serious.

"Ninja Art: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."

Compared to the frustration of Ayumi Genryu and Hinata Keiko, Kitahara Kaede didn't feel much. It was something she already knew, so why would she be angry?

Kitahara Kaede created five shadow clones and said to them, "Deal with them, then take their heads to the underground gold exchange to exchange for their bounties. They still want to capture me and take my bounty; their heads can't go to waste."

These are all rogue ninja from various villages, and they naturally have bounties at the underground gold exchange, so they can't afford to waste them now.

After his shadow clones quietly led the group away, Kitahara Kaede glanced at a house in the distance, then turned to Hinata Keiko and Ayato Genryu and said, "Let's call it a day and rest for now, but everyone should remain vigilant."

The two nodded solemnly, clearly somewhat displeased. They had thought it would be a simple patrol task, but this unexpected incident had occurred.

Fortunately, as ninjas, they were already used to it.

Behind a house in the distance, Tsunade, dressed in a bathrobe, did not show herself.

"Tch, his senses are that sharp? This brat doesn't seem like a member of the Uchiha clan, he seems more like a member of the Uzumaki clan."

Tsunade pursed her lips.

"You only glanced at it twice, how could you detect it from this distance?"

She realized that Kitahara Kaede had been watching her from afar. How could he see her from such a distance, in the dead of night? His pupil power was a bit outrageous.

"Is that the Sharingan? What a convenient bloodline limit."

Tsunade remembered reading in Kitahara Kaede's diary about Kitahara Kaede awakening his Sharingan.

Although he doesn't have the surname Uchiha, after awakening the Sharingan, he can be regarded as an Uchiha in his own eyes.

After reading the diary, she sensed that a ninja was quietly approaching.

While it's quite normal for ninjas to be active in a small town in the Land of Fire, it's not normal for them to be sneaky.

So she quickly put on her bathrobe and ran out to see what was happening, and just then she witnessed Kitahara Kaede using her Sharingan to directly control a group of rogue ninjas.

Seeing what Kitahara Kaede was doing, she immediately understood that Kitahara Kaede did not intend to take these people back to the village, but rather planned to take them to an underground money exchange to exchange for money.

She wasn't unfamiliar with that place; she had taken on jobs and made money at underground gold exchange shops before.

After all, she's been a cash cow for so many years, she needs to earn some income. Otherwise, how could Konoha's pension possibly support her, a well-known cash cow in the casino?

"How long has this kid been awakening his Sharingan? He can actually use Sharingan genjutsu to this extent. It's truly amazing."

Tsunade thought of the time Kitahara Kaede's Sharingan awakened, which was mentioned in the diary. It hadn't even been half a year since then, yet his use of genjutsu had reached such a high level of sophistication.

A simple illusion technique, Tree Binding Kill, was able to directly control a Jonin, rendering him unable to move.

This is a complete illusionary crushing victory.

"Another genjutsu-type ninja? The Uchiha clan keeps producing genjutsu-type ninjas like this, and they really complement the Sharingan perfectly."

Tsunade thought for a moment and realized that there were probably only four people in the entire ninja world who could be considered members of the Uchiha clan.

Madara Uchiha was an old man; he and her grandfather pacified the chaotic world together, and they were both incredibly strong.

The remaining Itachi and Sasuke were both geniuses, with Sasuke even being called a savior by Kitahara Kaede.

As for the remaining one, Kitahara Kaede, although he himself thought his talent was only average in his diary, in Tsunade's eyes, he was an absolute genius.

Clearly, the genius that Kitahara Kaede recognizes is not the same as the genius recognized by ordinary people. If we were to judge geniuses solely by the standards set in Kitahara Kaede's diary, there would be very few geniuses left in the world.

Kitahara Kaede handled this matter exceptionally well, so well that no one in the town noticed anything except himself.

"This kid is no pushover either."

Tsunade remarked with emotion.

Having already confirmed that she would succeed as the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade unknowingly began to hold herself to the standards of the Fifth Hokage, quietly recording some potentially useful talents.

"That must have been Tsunade. In the whole town, only she has such an amazing amount of chakra, no less than mine," Kitahara Kaede muttered to himself as he returned to the house.

Although he tried his best not to cause any more trouble, he still alerted Tsunade.

"At this distance, and in the darkness of night, Tsunade shouldn't be able to detect my Sharingan."

Kitahara Kaede assessed the distance just now and figured that Tsunade couldn't possibly see the Sharingan in his eyes, even though that rogue ninja from Kumogakure was speaking very softly.

However, he didn't know that Tsunade had known he had the Sharingan from the beginning, so his prediction was completely useless.

Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, Kitahara Kaede and his two companions set off for the Land of Wind.

Having already experienced being ambushed in the middle of the night, Kitahara Kaede decided not to rest in towns this time, but to avoid densely populated areas and head to the Loulan ruins as soon as possible to check if the seal was intact.

They also rushed along the way, completely abandoning the original plan, which was to complete the task at a normal pace.

On the seventh day, Kitahara Kaede and his two companions finally crossed the desert from the Land of Fire into the Land of Wind, arriving at the Loulan ruins marked on the map.

Yellow sand filled the sky, and the wind whistled in my ears.

"Is this the place?" Xiang Tianyuanlong asked, wearing a mask.

Kitahara Kaede and Hinata Keiko were dressed similarly, gazing into the distance.

"This should be it." Kitahara Kaede spread out the map, compared it with the map, and said.

Actually, he wasn't comparing a map, but rather the scene of the Lost Tower in his mind. This was the scene that Naruto and his friends saw when they first arrived at the ruins of Loulan.

Loulan Ancient City is a kingdom in the desert, composed of numerous dilapidated buildings.

The ancient city of Loulan was not like this more than ten years ago. At that time, An Lushan, also known as Baizu, used the power of the dragon vein to raise countless tall buildings overnight, which together created the miracle of the ancient city of Loulan.

However, after that battle, the people of the ancient city of Loulan followed Queen Sasha of Loulan and left the city, forming a merchant caravan.

Now this is what it looks like, with ruins and rubble everywhere.

"Then that's it. Let's go in and check if the Fourth Hokage's seal is secure, and then our mission will be complete."

.

Hyuga Keiko began to speak.

She was fed up with the environment of the Land of Wind. It was a place of constant censorship, and she was covered in sand. The temperature difference between day and night was huge, and she was constantly exposed to the wind and sun. Even though she was a female ninja, she was finding it hard to stand it.

"Okay." Kitahara Kaede nodded and led the two of them down the sand dunes at breakneck speed.

What ordinary people fear as quicksand is not a problem for ninjas.

Soon, following the map, the three Kitahara Kaede entered a huge building, where the Fourth Hokage's seal was said to be located.

"You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you all day."

Suddenly, just when the three thought they could complete the mission so easily, a cold voice came from ahead.

Kitahara Kaede looked up and followed the sound, only to see a person wearing a red and black coat standing in the shadows, looking at the three of them.
