Naruto: I'm a Teacher, But the System Thinks I'm Naruto's Classmate! Chapter 161: Action Against Danzo

"Of course," Kitazawa said with a smile. "Provided it doesn't affect your theoretical grades, I welco your participation at any ti."

"Thank you, Teacher Kitazawa." Shino Abura looked up at him and asked, "What special training should I participate in?"

"First, you should do Tree Climbing and Water Walking Training to improve your Chakra control ability," Kitazawa replied. "Then, we'll create special training specifically for your insects."

"How do you specially train insects?" Shino Abura couldn't help but ask, stunned.

Kikaichu were the most commonly used insects of the Abura Clan. The clan possessed a series of secret Ninjutsu centered around these insects. These techniques were already highly developed and required no further special training.

That was why Shino Abura found Kitazawa's words puzzling.

"Regarding the special training for insects, I have two ideas," Kitazawa said, holding up a finger. "First, finding new insects."

"The Abura Clan started searching for new insects in the Ninja World a long ti ago," Shino replied, half-refusing and half-explaining. "But the new insects they found were not as good as Kikaichu."

He didn't believe Kitazawa alone could discover insects superior to what his entire clan had found. To him, this thod sounded like a waste of ti.

"I know of an insect that can enter the enemy's body with light, absorb their Chakra, and eventually explode," Kitazawa said unhurriedly.

"There's such an insect?" Shino Abura understood its terrifying potential the mont he heard about it.

Being able to enter an enemy's body with light ant its main body was nearly impossible to detect. And its ability to absorb Chakra and explode… indicated devastating power.

Any ninja who encountered such a creature would be dood.

"Even Fourth Raikage almost died because of this insect," Kitazawa added with a small smile.

"What?!" For once, Shino Abura—usually so calm—widened his eyes.

Fourth Raikage was a peerless master, standing at the pinnacle of the Ninja World. And yet, an insect had nearly killed him?

Just from that alone, this insect has already surpassed Kikaichu.

The Abura Clan had many strong ninja, but none who stood at the very top. The reason… was the limitation of their insects.

"What is this insect called? Where is it?" Shino asked impatiently.

As a mber of the Abura Clan, he had a natural inclination to collect insects. And a completely new, powerful species? It was an irresistible lure.

"Explosive Bugs," Kitazawa replied.

Shino frowned. He had never heard of such an insect, nor was it recorded in his clan's archives.

"In the Ninja World, there are many secret organizations," Kitazawa continued. "Explosive Bugs co from one called the Nokizaru Group."

"Nokizaru Group?" Shino subconsciously adjusted his glasses, a glint flashing in his eyes.

With this clue, his clan would surely investigate. If they truly existed, they would have to obtain Explosive Bugs.

If these insects could be integrated into the Abura arsenal, it would greatly enhance their strength.

"They even dared to kill Fourth Raikage. Are they very strong?" Shino asked, recalling Kitazawa's earlier words.

"Their strength is average. Their ability to threaten Fourth Raikage relied solely on Explosive Bugs," Kitazawa explained. "His near-death experience ca from a lack of information, not their combat ability."

"I see," Shino murmured, finally enlightened.

Explosive Bugs were invisible to the naked eye. Without prior knowledge, they would be impossible to defend against.

"Then how did you know, Teacher Kitazawa?" Shino asked curiously.

"Because Lady Tsunade removed the Explosive Bugs from Fourth Raikage," Kitazawa answered.

He then shared a story from the original work: The Hidden Cloud Village had always acted domineeringly. At one point, Fourth Raikage led his subordinates to steal a secret Ninjutsu from the Sugi Village.

In retaliation, the Cedar Village hired the Nokizaru Group to pursue and kill them. Eventually, Fourth Raikage and his n were infected with Explosive Bugs.

One subordinate exploded on the spot, dying instantly. Just when they were at their wits' end, they encountered Tsunade and Shizune—wandering the Ninja World.

Fourth Raikage proposed an arm-wrestling match with Tsunade, agreeing to let her treat them only if he won.

"That's… quite bizarre," Shino comnted.

Who would have thought an obscure group of Nokizaru Group nearly killed the mighty Fourth Raikage? And yet, Raikage's luck was incredible—running into Tsunade, the greatest dical ninja of her era.

"What do you think of this insect?" Kitazawa asked with a smile, watching Shino's expression change.

"Very powerful." Shino Abura said in a deep, steady voice. "If the Abura Clan can obtain Explosive Bugs, you will forever be our honored guest."

[You are the future Hokage. You should not miss this excellent opportunity to win over the Abura Clan.]

[Current Mission: Help the Abura Clan obtain Exploding Bugs.]

[Mission Reward: Impersonation(Shapeshifting) Jutsu.]

[Do you accept?]

Kitazawa let out a soft exclamation. This could actually trigger a mission?

He had thought that only stealing Abura Torune from Root would unlock a new mission, but he didn't expect the Explosive Bugs to give him such a pleasant surprise.

And the mission reward was also exceptional.

The Impersonation Jutsu was a rare Ninjutsu of disguise—capable of replicating not only the target's appearance but also their Taijutsu and Ninjutsu.

This technique was undoubtedly useful—especially for infiltration missions.

Of course, it could also be used for self-preservation, escaping pursuers, and more.

Kitazawa was slightly puzzled as to why the reward was the Impersonation Jutsu instead of a secret Abura Clan Ninjutsu.

Could it be because the Abura naturally possessed aura concealnt and low presence? Still, this reward was better.

If he were given so insect-control secret technique, he wouldn't use it—even if it killed him.

No way. He hated insects. Letting them live inside his body? Just the thought was terrifying.

"You can notify once your Abura Clan finds the Nokizaru Group," Kitazawa said, offering a reason they couldn't refuse. "Lady Tsunade taught how to remove Explosive Bugs."

Although the Abura had prior intelligence on the matter, they could still get caught in skirmishes.

And currently, the only dical Ninjas capable of removing Exploding Bugs were Tsunade and Shizune—plus Kitazawa, who was practically Tsunade's half-student.

"Thank you, Teacher Kitazawa!" Shino Abura said with genuine gratitude.

"It's nothing," Kitazawa replied casually. "The Nokizaru Group has committed many evils; they should have been destroyed long ago."

"Teacher Kitazawa, this matter is of great importance. Please co to the Abura Clan," Shino Abura said, bowing slightly.

"No rush." Kitazawa waved his hand dismissively. "Let's first discuss the second idea."

"Please tell ." Shino Abura's face showed clear anticipation.

If the first idea worked, it would greatly benefit the Abura Clan. But what about the second one?

"Kikaichu mutation," Kitazawa said slowly.

"The Abura Clan has attempted Kikaichu mutation before, but with little success. It's simply too difficult," Shino Abura admitted subconsciously.

"How do you make them mutate?" Kitazawa asked, not surprised.

"By continuously stimulating Kikaichu with Chakra to trigger mutation," Shino Abura replied.

"Is that all?" Kitazawa raised an eyebrow. "Have you conducted control experints?"

"What are control experints?" Shino Abura asked, puzzled.

"Two experints—keeping one variable constant while other conditions remain unchanged," Kitazawa explained. "For instance, one batch of Kikaichu stays in a normal environnt, while another is placed in an extre one."

"You an different environnts lead to different results?" Shino Abura asked thoughtfully.

"Exactly," Kitazawa nodded. "Insects are creatures that can evolve according to their environnt, and they will never go extinct."

Shino Abura's heart trembled, and his expression brightened with sudden realization. Many thoughts flooded his mind at once.

After Kitazawa's explanation, he indeed felt their previous mutation thods had been far too gentle.

But he couldn't bla his clan—they regarded Kikaichu as partners. Since the insects lived inside their bodies, they naturally avoided subjecting them to extre environnts.

"You don't have to tell your clan about this yet," Kitazawa reminded him. "This is just my idea. We can experint first to see if it's effective."

"Okay," Shino Abura agreed.

If they could successfully mutate Kikaichu, it would be a huge gain. If not, they still wouldn't lose anything.

"You've done so many Kikaichu mutation experints—have any succeeded?" Kitazawa asked, blinking.

"No… I don't know if it counts as a Kikaichu mutation." Shino Abura hesitated.

"Tell in detail." Kitazawa thought to himself, Finally, we're getting to the main point.

"It's about a good friend of mine, nad Abura Torune," Shino Abura said. "His Kikaichu mutated and beca nano-sized poisonous insects."

"Such special poisonous insects—why haven't I heard of them?" Kitazawa asked, feigning confusion.

"He joined Root," Shino Abura sighed inwardly, his expression complex.

"Was it voluntary?" Kitazawa asked again.

"No." Shino Abura paused for a few seconds before revealing the truth—how Abura Torune had taken his place.

"Root is indeed overbearing." Kitazawa snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, one day, Lady Tsunade will disband Root."

"Really?" Shino Abura's expression turned to disbelief upon hearing this.

Ever since Abura Torune joined Root, he knew it would be difficult for him to return. But now, Kitazawa's words gave him hope again.

"Of course." Kitazawa said with a smile, "Lady Tsunade's most hated are Danzo and his Root."

His words were not a lie. Tsunade did indeed dislike them, but due to Hiruzen Sarutobi's reputation and her own disinterest in the Hokage position, she didn't interfere.

"Then what should I do?" Shino couldn't help but ask.

"Your Abura Clan should find a suitable opportunity to ask Lady Tsunade for help," Kitazawa stated his idea.

"Will this work?" Shino asked, lacking confidence.

Their Abura Clan had no relationship with Tsunade.

"Trying won't cost anything," Kitazawa smiled and said.

"I understand, I'll go back and find my dad now!" As soon as Shino thought about saving Torune, he quickly said goodbye to Kitazawa and left in a hurry.

Kitazawa watched his retreating figure and thought of Tsunade. He hadn't discussed this with Tsunade beforehand, and he wondered if she would bla him.

However, since this was aid at Danzo and his Root, Tsunade should be very happy.

She might have wanted to cause trouble for Root for a long ti. But there was also a problem.

If Tsunade caused a ruckus in Root, it would give other Ninja Clans and Ninja the illusion that she wanted to contend for the Hokage position.

Would she do it? Kitazawa stroked his chin.

He could guess her thoughts based on Tsunade's reaction.

If she agreed to the Abura Clan and went to Root to take Abura Torune, that would be enough to show that her attitude had changed.

Although it didn't an she would beco Hokage the next day, at least she didn't have such a strong resistance to the Hokage position.

"This is truly a plan that kills three birds with one stone." Kitazawa couldn't help but smile.

It didn't matter if it failed. At most, the Abura Clan would remain as they were, and Tsunade would discover the truth and scold him.

He had nothing to lose. After all, Tsunade was sharp-tongued but kind-hearted.

Moreover, Kitazawa had a reason; he wanted to help his student, Shino Abura.

The Abura Clan's Compound

"Dad!" Shino Abura shouted as soon as he arrived ho.

"Why are you back so early today?" Shibi Abura walked out and asked curiously, "Isn't it not ti for school to end yet?"

"I have sothing urgent to tell you!" Shino Abura said, panting. He had run all the way back.

"What is it?" Shibi Abura was a little surprised. Because, in his opinion, his son had always been very calm.

"It's Torune." Shino Abura imdiately relayed what Kitazawa had said.

Because Abura Torune was very important in his heart, in his haste, he didn't ntion the Kikaichu at first.

"Did Kitazawa really say that?" Shibi Abura's first reaction was both surprise and joy, but also a little disbelief.

"Absolutely true!" Shino Abura patted his chest and guaranteed.

"…" Shibi Abura fell silent and paced back and forth a few steps.

The relationship between Kitazawa and Tsunade was no longer a secret among the major Ninja Clans.

After all, he went to Konoha Hospital every day to learn dical Ninjutsu from Shizune, and he had now beco a dical Ninja on staff at Konoha Hospital.

Any major Ninja Clan that wasn't blind could easily obtain this information.

Why would Kitazawa choose this mont to hint at them? Could it be that Tsunade wanted to go after the Hokage position?

Shibi Abura frowned, various thoughts surfacing.

It wasn't that he was being overly cautious. Although the Abura Clan was strong, they were nothing to Danzo and Tsunade.

Moreover, this concerned the struggle for the Hokage position. If the Abura Clan lost their gamble, they wouldn't be annihilated, but they would suffer greatly.

After a mont of thought, Shibi Abura finally decided to trust Kitazawa.

Because Tsunade had a higher probability of becoming Hokage than Danzo.

In addition, Danzo's actions were truly excessive. The Abura Clan had finally produced a genius, only for him to be taken by Root.

If this continued, how could the Abura Clan develop?

"Let's go, we'll go visit Kitazawa." Shibi Abura said after making up his mind.

"Not directly to Lady Tsunade?" Shino Abura paused slightly and asked in confusion.

"This matter was initiated by Kitazawa, so we must first go see him and express our gratitude, and also confirm Lady Tsunade's attitude."

Shibi Abura said in a deep voice.

"I see." Shino Abura nodded, half-understanding.

Although he was relatively precocious, he was still young, and many things he didn't see as clearly as Shibi Abura.

"Dad, there's one more thing." Shino Abura walked a few steps before stopping. He finally rembered that he hadn't ntioned the Kikaichu and quickly recounted it.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Shibi Abura froze, his face revealing clear shock.

He understood the value of the Kikaichu far better than Shino. This was an insect that could elevate their Abura Clan to the very top of the ninja world!

If Shino had ntioned this first, Shibi wouldn't have hesitated for even a second; he would have directly supported Tsunade. After all, Tsunade had already shown them a gift full of sincerity.

In Shibi's mind, Kitazawa must have ntioned the Kikaichu because he was following Tsunade's instructions. After all, only Tsunade knew about the Fourth Raikage and his subordinates being infected with the parasite.

"Sorry," Shino said awkwardly. "My mind was completely on Torune just now."

"Wait for here!" Shibi spoke firmly before quickly walking out.

He was going to investigate the whereabouts of this Nozikaru Group and prepare a generous gift for Kitazawa.

Shino scratched his head, left with no choice but to wait.

A few minutes later, Shibi returned.

"Let's go." He exhaled slowly, his tone heavy with resolve. This eting would decide the fate of the Abura Clan.

"Hmm." Shino nodded and led the way, quickly arriving at Kitazawa's office.

"Co in." Kitazawa heard the knock and looked up.

"Kitazawa-sensei." Shibi extended his hand. "I am Shibi Abura. Thank you for taking care of Shino."

"Clan Head Shibi, hello." Kitazawa shook his hand in return.

Shibi Abura had few appearances in the original work. His most notable role was in the Naruto Movie, where he was Minato Namikaze's teammate on a mission to Roran.

The rest were fleeting monts—during the Chunin Exams, Pain's Invasion, and the Fourth Great Ninja War.

Still, Shibi and Minato clearly shared a close bond, possibly belonging to the sa faction of shinobi. But Minato's untily death robbed both him and his allies of the recognition they deserved.

"I have already learned the full story from Shino," Shibi said, straightening his posture before bowing deeply. "Thank you, Lady Tsunade and Kitazawa-sensei, for your help to our Abura Clan!"

"No need to be so polite," Kitazawa replied quickly, standing as well.

He knew Shibi's gratitude was truly directed toward Tsunade, not him. But for the head of the Abura Clan to bow so sincerely—this gesture spoke volus of his respect.
