Division of Investment Quotas

When Kizaru's consciousness withdrew from Kushina's body, he found himself surrounded by the Third Hokage Hiruzen and three Anbu ninjas.

"What happened?" Seeing Kizaru's consciousness return, Hiruzen, concerned about the condition of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, hastily asked.

Upon hearing the question from his teacher Hiruzen, Kizaru didn't answer immediately but glanced at the three Anbu ninjas, giving his teacher a meaningful look.

Understanding Kizaru's gesture, Hiruzen raised his right hand and ordered, "You all can leave!"

"Yes!"

The three Anbu ninjas answered in unison and disappeared using Body Flicker Jutsu.

Confirming that the three Anbu ninjas had left a certain distance through his Observation Haki, Kizaru looked at Hiruzen and began to speak.

"Matatabi accompanies me to the school every day, and the Nine-Tails got angry."

Nodding, Hiruzen looked at the Two-Tails beast on Kizaru's shoulder.

As fellow Tailed Beasts, one was sealed within a Jinchuriki, while the other roamed freely. It was normal for the Nine-Tails to get angry.

Thinking of himself and Danzo, Hiruzen could understand why the Nine-Tails was angry.

"Is it resolved?" Looking at Kizaru, Hiruzen asked with concern.

"With my persuasion, the Nine-Tails has calmed down." Kizaru modestly replied with a faint smile.

Persuasion? More like domination!

Hiruzen knew his disciple's style too well and chuckled.

However, regardless of the method used, as long as the Nine-Tails didn't cause trouble, everything was fine.

With his worries dispelled, Hiruzen smiled kindly and looked at Kushina.

"Kushina, if you ever have any problems with your body, be sure to tell me or Kizaru promptly."

"You children are the future of the village. Your safety and health are more important than anything else."

Hiruzen's political acumen might not be well regarded!

But when it came to caring for children and building rapport, he was definitely a skilled expert.

Indeed, after listening to Hiruzen's caring words, Kushina smiled.

"I understand, Lord Third!" Looking up at Hiruzen, Kushina, in a good mood, became more polite.

Bending down to pat Kushina's head, Hiruzen smiled and continued, "Lunch break is over, let's go back to the classroom!"

"Yeah!" Nodding towards Hiruzen, Kushina looked back at Kizaru.

"Let's go back!" With his hands in his pockets, Kizaru grinned.

"Goodbye!" Waving goodbye to Hiruzen, Kushina ran off with a smile.

Watching Kushina run off with Kizaru, Hiruzen withdrew his gaze.

"How about the matter with the Hashirama cells?" Looking at Kizaru, Hiruzen asked with concern.

"It's quite troublesome!" Complaining briefly, Hiruzen continued, "I'm working hard to organize the data every day."

"If you have any problems, feel free to come to me."

Hiruzen had a lot of trust and confidence in Kizaru, but as a senior and a teacher, he couldn't help but want to give guidance.

"What a hassle!"

In the principal's office, Shikaku, who had finally finished reading all the documents, began sorting them.

Having finished reading all the documents and already made a mental note, Shikaku proceeded with the sorting very quickly.

When Hiruzen and Kizaru returned to the office after chatting, Shikaku had already finished sorting.

Walking into the office, looking at the three piles of documents on the desk, Kizaru smiled satisfactorily.

"Not bad, Shikaku."

"You lazy fellow!" Sitting down, Shikaku turned his head to look at Kizaru, feeling annoyed.

"Hehehe! It's all thanks to you!" Laughing, Kizaru walked to the seat behind the desk and sat down.

"I divided the ninja clans and ninjas who have the potential to invest into three categories, from left to right, from highest to lowest." Facing Kizaru, Shikaku began to explain.

Nodding, Kizaru didn't speak but smiled as he reached out and picked up the stack of documents on the left, representing the highest category.

There weren't many documents in the highest category, only a few, making them look very thin in Kizaru's large hands.

Placing the documents on top of the stack, the first thing that caught the eye was the information about the Sarutobi clan.

As expected of Shikaku, he paid attention to the details!

Looking at the documents in his hand, Kizaru glanced at Shikaku, who was sitting calmly beside him.

Kizaru didn't need to scrutinize the information about the Sarutobi clan. Just because he was the Third Hokage Hiruzen's family, he placed it in the first category without any problem.

Taking down the information about the Sarutobi clan directly, Kizaru looked at the documents behind.

Ranked behind the Sarutobi clan was not so much a ninja clan as it was an individual.

Representing the final generation of the Senju clan, Tsunade!

Placing Tsunade in the second category, Kizaru could understand. After all, the research on the Senju cells came from her grandfather.

After Tsunade came the Shimura clan, followed by the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.

These five ninja clans were the ones Shikaku had classified as the first category of ninja clans.

In the first category, there was no Orochimaru, not because Orochimaru was isolated without a family behind him, but because Orochimaru, as the head of research, received a share of the research profits and didn't need to invest money.

"Alright!"

The five ninja clans classified into the first category had sufficient reasons behind them, and Kizaru didn't waste time questioning but directly expressed his approval.

Hearing Kizaru's affirmation, Shikaku, who appeared calm on the surface, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Whether as the young master of the Nara clan or the proud clever person he deemed himself to be, Shikaku didn't want to be doubted on his first formal task.

After setting aside the documents representing the first category, Kizaru reached for the documents classified by Shikaku into the second category.

Compared to the documents in the first category, those in the second category were much thicker, and Kizaru examined them more carefully.

Being classified into the second category represented the village's largest middle power.

These included the two advisors Homura and Koharu, the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, the Aburame clan, the Inuzuka clan, and the Kurama clan.

In total, there were eight ninja clans classified into the second category.

"The Kurama clan..." Looking at the Kurama clan's information placed at the end of the second category by Shikaku, Kizaru softly repeated the name, thinking of the future plot.

"The Kurama clan is renowned in genjutsu, ranking alongside the Uchiha clan in the field of illusions. They have many high-ranking and mid-level ninjas in their clan.

They have a bloodline limit related to genjutsu, but only a few have awakened it. It's said that only the elderly head of the Kurama clan has awakened the bloodline limit." Worried that Kizaru might not have heard of the Kurama clan and might not understand his classification, Shikaku explained.

Nodding, thinking of the Kurama clan's decline to the point of not even having a Jonin when Naruto graduated from the academy, Kizaru couldn't help but sigh at the cruelty of the ninja world.

"I've heard of them. It's fine to classify them into the second category." Putting down the documents in his hand, Kizaru looked up at Shikaku and smiled.

After examining all three categories of documents and rearranging them, Kizaru looked at Shikaku.

"You did a good job, Shikaku."

"As long as it's okay!" Rubbing the back of his head, Shikaku relaxed and said.

Not bad at all!

Smiling at Shikaku, Kizaru saw not just a classmate but a valuable tool to assist him in his work at the school.

"Shikaku, do you want to challenge yourself?"

Being cautious, Shikaku knew Kizaru was about to pull something on him.

"It's getting late, I have to go back to class." Looking at the clock on the office wall, Shikaku made an excuse.

"No problem, I'll excuse you." Naturally, Kizaru wouldn't let Shikaku slip away and said with a smile.

"Um..." His mouth twitched as he smiled, and his cheeks twitched a bit. Knowing that Kizaru was going to trick him, Shikaku continued to push back, "I'll be practicing the family secret technique for some time, so I might not have time for other things."

"I see!" Rubbing his chin with a smirk, Kizaru continued, "No problem, I'll handle it."

This scoundrel Kizaru!

Cursing him inwardly, feeling frustrated, Shikaku looked at Kizaru resignedly and asked, "What else do you want me to do?"

"During the time before your graduation, why don't you work as my assistant principal part-time? I really trust you, Shikaku!"

"Sigh." Sighing deeply, Shikaku reluctantly replied, "I understand."

With this intention in mind, Kizaru, seeing Shikaku reluctantly agreeing, smiled even more brightly on his face.

Standing up and opening the drawer below the left side of the desk, Kizaru took out a work certificate and a key.

Putting the work certificate and key on the table in front of Shikaku, Kizaru spoke up.

"This is a work certificate and the key to my office. I'm giving you the right to move freely on campus during school hours."

Giving a bit of a sweetener, Kizaru arranged a little benefit for Shikaku while assigning him work.

Hearing Kizaru say he had the right to move freely on campus during school hours, clever Shikaku immediately understood it was a benefit from Kizaru.

"Can I bring others with me?" Thinking of his two good friends, Shikaku asked.

"As long as you have a valid reason and convince Kiyoshi-sensei, it's fine." As a former ninja school's biggest delinquent student, Kizaru understood Shikaku's intentions very well.

"I understand!" A smile reappeared on his face, Shikaku reached out and picked up the work certificate and office key on the table.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back now." Standing up and leaving his seat, Shikaku said to Kizaru.

Leaning back in his chair, Kizaru waved his hand with a smile.
