As Tsunade spoke, she patted Shion's head and confidently promised, "Little girl, don't worry, I will help you get rid of that demon inside you."

After saying that, he led the four of them out of the underground and back to the Hidden Mist Village.

With Tsunade and her group of five returning to the village, the missions of all four squads were successfully completed, resulting in a very fruitful outcome.

The flying fortress of the Hidden Ninja Village, the top-notch ninja tools of the Land of Craftsmen, the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, and the living, breathing Shion, the priestess of the Land of Demons.

Kisame informed all classes that they would have a day off and would meet at the Divine Tree Grand Stage at 8:00 AM the next morning, where each class leader would give a speech recounting their experience of carrying out the mission.

The aim is to share and exchange experiences to achieve common progress.

crunch.

Tsunade returned to the treehouse, pushed open the door, yawned, and was about to go to bed for a nap when she suddenly reached out and rubbed her eyes.

She didn't see wrong, did she?

A girl with hair longer than her body was lying on her side on her bed, sleeping peacefully.

Who is this kid?

Tsunade frowned, stepped forward, and was about to reach out to wake the girl when she seemed to sense something and opened her eyes.

No, not two eyes, but three eyes.

Indeed, to Tsunade's surprise, this girl not only had two eyes, but also a third eye between her eyebrows. What shocked her even more was the shape of that eye's pupil.

It resembles both the Rinnegan and the Sharingan, with their patterns merging together to emit an extremely powerful surge of childlike energy.

Just by exchanging a glance with him, Tsunade felt a strong sense of unease and stood frozen in place for a moment.

The girl supported herself on the edge of the bed and slowly sat up, looking at Tsunade with a somewhat blank expression, her brows furrowing slightly as she asked, "Tsunade?"

The call snapped Tsunade back to reality. She took a step back, startled and suspicious, and hissed warily, "Who are you? Why are you sleeping in my bed?"

"She is Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Kisame's voice suddenly rang out behind Tsunade.

He appeared silently, patted Tsunade on the shoulder to reassure her, and introduced her to Kaguya's identity and the process of his resurrection of her.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's eyes widened, and she remained stunned for a long time.

This is incredible.

The girl in front of me, named Kaguya, is not only the mother of the Sage of Six Paths and his brothers, but also the ancestor of the Senju clan, her ancestor.

"You are special."

Kaguya tilted her head, curiously examining Tsunade, and said this.

She felt a blood connection between Tsunade and herself, and sensed another powerful soul within the other. Was that soul Kisame Hoshigaki's partner?

Tsunade glanced at Kaguya, then without saying a word, pulled Kisame aside.

"Hey, what do you mean? You not only resurrected this dangerous guy, but you also dumped him in my house?" She glared at Kisame and said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, it's fine. Don't you think she's adorable? Rather than letting others resurrect Kaguya, why don't we take the initiative and control her ourselves? What do you say?"

Kisame offered his explanation and patted Tsunade on the shoulder again, "As for why I placed her in your house, do you even need to ask? She's your ancestor, after all. As a junior, it's only right to show some filial piety."

Tsunade: ""

Early the next morning.

The twelve genin from Kirigakure gathered at the Divine Tree Grand Stage.

Kimimaro removed the white bandage covering his eyes, revealing a pair of eyes with complex patterns. Then, his eyes flashed and returned to normal.

He has transplanted Itachi's Sharingan and fused it with Fugaku's eyes, creating a new pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

It has to be said that transplanting eyes from the Uchiha clan is really convenient; it's done with just one insertion and one removal.

However, at the same time, the rejection reaction of these new eyes is also very strong, which Kimimaro is still working hard to overcome.

When the three members of Team One arrived at the main stage, they could hear Deidara's voice from afar. The latter was dancing and boasting in the middle of the crowd about his heroic deeds of defeating the Sky Ninja Village and bringing back the flying fortress.

"Hey, don't get too cocky, Deidara! Our Team 2's enemy is Seimei, the founder of the Land of Craftsmen. He's much tougher to deal with than those lousy fish from the Sky Village."

Kankuro interrupted Deidara's boasting, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"It seems that quite a few evil creatures have recently been resurrected, including the demons we are dealing with. Those things seem to be extraterrestrial beings."

Yamato chimed in, looking thoughtful.

Deidara snorted, too lazy to bother with these guys. He saw Kimimaro arrive, and seeing the other remain silent, he asked with a mocking expression:

"Hey, Kimimaro, why aren't you saying anything? Did you fail your mission?"

Upon hearing this, Kimimaro glanced at Deidara indifferently, the eternal kaleidoscope pattern in his eyes flashing by in an instant.

"what!"

Deidara suddenly yelled, as if possessed, and sat down on the ground with a thud, his face filled with terror and sweat pouring down his face.

"He's under a spell."

Jugo and Suigetsu exchanged a glance. Although they were happy to see Deidara suffer a setback, he was, after all, their class representative. If things continued like this, it would be a disgrace to Class 3.

So the two quickly held Deidara down and tried to break the illusion that had been cast on him.

"Kimimaro, you despicable bastard, you actually ambushed me! I'll fight you to the death!"

After realizing he had made a fool of himself, Deidara flew into a rage and wanted to fight Kimimaro to the death.

Just then.

The appearance of Kisame and Tsunade instantly silenced the noisy crowd.

"It seems you've finished your passionate exchange. Very good, let's get straight to today's topic."

Kisame glanced at everyone and announced the real reason he had summoned the twelve genin: "Today, you will welcome a new comrade, her name is Kaguya. Come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and Kaguya Otsutsuki, dressed in a white robe, calmly walked out from behind Kisame and Tsunade.

"Kaguya, isn't that Kimimaro's family name? It sounds so strange. Where did she come from?"

A murmur rippled through the group of boys and girls as Kaguya's appearance drew everyone's attention and curiosity.

As everyone scrutinized Kaguya, she also revealed a curious gaze, opening her Byakugan and scanning each of the twelve people opposite her.

"Byakugan? Is she from the Hyuga clan, or is she like Toneri, from the moon?"

Temari was surprised to see Kaguya roll her eyes.

Hinata and Toneri exchanged a glance. She was certain that Kaguya was not a member of the Hyuga clan.

“I’m on the moon, and I’ve never seen her.”

"That's what the servant said. He was just as clueless and felt completely unfamiliar with the girl in front of him, who was about the same age as him."

"Karin, what's wrong?"

Shiro suddenly noticed that Karin beside him looked horrified and was sweating profusely, as if she had been frightened by something.

Upon hearing this, Karin pointed a finger at Kaguya and said tremblingly, "Her chakra is so vast, it's practically comparable to Lady Tsunade's."

"what?!"

These words shocked even the usually composed Kimimaro, whose expression quickly turned serious.

This girl named Kaguya looks harmless, but she's actually quite terrifying.

Kisame's next words surprised everyone even more.

"From today onwards, Kaguya will be your captain."

Kisame said with a smile.

Including Kaguya, he trained a total of thirteen genin, including jinchūriki, sage body, Sharingan, Byakugan, bloodline limit, puppeteer, sealing ninja, and medical ninja. He had all kinds of talents.

This is his ideal lineup of Kirigakure genin.

312. Passing on the message to four people

With the addition of Kaguya Otsutsuki, Kisame's "Thirteen Genin of the Hidden Mist" lineup was finally complete.

It is comparable to the "Twelve Konoha's Young Masters".

However, the thirteen genin are still in their infancy and have not yet fully matured. After all, there is only one Six Paths level ninja, a few Kage level ninja, and a group of elite jonin.

Therefore, Kisame appointed Kaguya as captain, hoping that she could play a leading role and become a role model for others.

But for everyone else, the fact that a woman who appeared out of nowhere became their captain was still somewhat unacceptable.

A murmur rippled through the room.

Deidara, being outspoken, was the first to jump out, pointing his finger at Kaguya and loudly protesting, "What makes this guy so special? Did he get in through connections? I'm not having it!"

"Deidara, don't do that. Do you want to question the teacher?" Jugo quickly grabbed Deidara and advised him not to talk nonsense.

The others, while not openly protesting like Deidara, were clearly dissatisfied with Kaguya, who had been parachuted in as captain. After all, they were all geniuses, each with their own pride and arrogance.

Despite the hostile stares from the crowd, Kaguya remained calm, or rather, naive, and didn't seem to care at all.

In her eyes, they were just a bunch of kids.

"When I appoint a captain, I don't look at a person's prestige, personality, background, character, intelligence or anything else. I only look at strength. Whoever has the biggest fist is the boss."

Kisame crossed his arms, looked down at Deidara, and said slowly, "Kaguya is stronger than all of you, so she is the captain. Might makes right, it's that simple."

Seeing this, Tsunade added with a half-smile, "If anyone is not satisfied, they can challenge Kaguya. If they win, they can naturally replace her and become the new captain."

She had a look of fascination on her face, clearly showing her interest in Kaguya, this ancestor, and wanted to see how she fought.

"I!"

Upon hearing this, Deidara's eyes lit up, and he eagerly raised his hand, afraid that someone else would beat him to it.

Kaguya glanced at Kisame, seeking his opinion with her eyes.

"Just knock this guy out, don't kill him." Kisame's thoughts echoed in Kaguya's mind.

So she nodded and silently walked to the center of the sacred tree stage.
