As Jōnin Instructor for Team Eight.
now.
Sweat beaded on Kurenai Yuhi's forehead.
" Hinata, Hinata... don't be impulsive!"
Anko Mitarashi's eyes widened as well.
"This girl looks gentle and weak, but when it comes to Naruto, she seems to become a different person."
"Hong, you're not going to... cough cough, get your lunchbox (die) soon, are you?"
Kurenai Yuhi's face turned bright red.
Who can she complain to?
Damn Black-Framed Naruto!
He must have taught them!
If I don't die, you'll definitely regret it!
Let me show you just how ruthless a vengeful woman can be!
They can only accept it silently!
Hmph!
Yūgao Uzuki's eye twitched slightly.
It's as if she guessed what her best friend was thinking.
She was both angry and furious.
Is that revenge?!
I'm almost embarrassed to say it to you.
Damn it... No matter how much you guard against it, it's hard to guard against a thief within your own ranks.
He's already thinking about his half-apprentice again!
She's still my best friend...
The black-framed large screen continues:
[This moment.]
Kurenai Yuhi felt a threat to his life.
[Her first reaction was to create distance and try to keep Hinata calm, or else run away and wait for Hinata to calm down.]
How embarrassing...
[After all, I'm a Jōnin Instructor for Team Eight, a newly promoted Jōnin.]
[To be so embarrassed when faced with a recent graduate.]
[" Hinata, calm down..."]
[ Kurenai Yuhi has not finished speaking. ]
[call out--]
Suddenly, a three-pronged kunai came flying at them.
[not good!]
Kurenai Yuhi's pupils contracted sharply.
There's no way to avoid it!
[who?!]
[tooth?]
[Or Shino? ]
[They wouldn't have used Kunai to launch a sneak attack!]
[Buzz—]
[ Kurenai Yuhi only felt a flash of golden light before his eyes. ]
[Immediately afterwards, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared behind Hinata.]
[Golden...sparkle?!]
"What should we do?"
[The visitor was naturally Naruto.]
[Upon noticing the sudden increase in Hinata's Chakra fluctuations, they rushed over immediately.]
[As expected, that silly girl actually wanted to kill Kurenai Yuhi.]
[Duo——]
[ Naruto raises his hand and gently taps Hinata's little head.]
Upon seeing Naruto appear, Hinata realized that she might have acted impulsively.
[I quickly shut down Byakugan.]
[ The Chakra lion heads on his hands gradually faded away.]
[She had her head down, like a child who had done something wrong.]
[ Naruto softened and placed his hand on Hinata's head.]
"It's okay, didn't Teacher Hong also refuse?"
"They are our own people in the united front."
[Upon hearing this, Hinata nodded, "Mmm~"]
"Teacher Hong, I'm sorry."
[ Kurenai Yuhi: "..."]
[United Front...our own people...when did this happen?]
[However, now it has to be, even if it isn't.]
[Relax your tense nerves.]
[Watching Naruto's retreating figure, Kurenai Yuhi's eyes gleamed with curiosity.]
[ Flying Thunder God?]
[It's probably impossible...but if it's not Flying Thunder God...]
[Could it be that this child invented it himself?]
[This talent...no wonder Yūgao kept it so secret.]
[Seeing Naruto turn to look at him.]
Kurenai Yuhi was taken aback again.
[That handsome face, yet with a touch of youthful innocence.]
[ Kurenai Yuhi saw a strong resemblance to Minato and Kushina.]
"Don't you think so?"
"Teacher Hong?"
[ Naruto's lips curled slightly, displaying his signature gentle smile.]
[This caused Kurenai Yuhi to momentarily lose her composure.]
[I couldn't help but feel that my best friend was eating quite well, so well that it made me envious.]
However, it seems the crisis is not yet over.
Kurenai Yuhi smiled and replied, "Yes."
"Teacher Hong, we didn't mean to force you."
"Some things are very complicated and cannot be explained in a short time."
"How about we talk?"
"Perfect timing, we have a party today to celebrate becoming a true Genin."
"I don't think Teacher Hong will refuse, right?"
[ Kurenai Yuhi: "..."]
[call--]
[She took a deep breath. Could she refuse?]
"You should have been aware of the class assignments."
"I won't force you if you don't want to."
"But I still hope Teacher Hong..."
[ Naruto didn't continue, but he believed Kurenai Yuhi understood what he meant.]
[Upon hearing this.]
Kurenai Yuhi's smile froze.
[Then I felt relieved.]
[He gave Naruto a deep look.]
[Then he smiled.]
["Too."]
"I was originally planning to treat Hinata and the others to barbecue to strengthen the bonds within our group."
["Looking at it this way...the teacher can save some money today and also enjoy a delicious meal~"]
[ Kurenai Yuhi's change was somewhat unexpected by Naruto.]
[However, this is for the best.]
[If I remember correctly, Kurenai Yuhi, Yūgao Uzuki, and Orochimaru's Disciple Anko Mitarashi are close friends.]
The three of them often met together.
[ The Shadow Clone, who stays at home with Naruto, always manages to find them.]
["welcome."]
Naruto chuckled and nodded.
"I didn't expect this... But since you're here, it means Team 7 has passed Kakashi's test?"
[ Naruto rubbed Hinata's little head and nodded, as if in response to Kurenai Yuhi.]
Kurenai Yuhi blinked, "Wow, that's amazing!"
" Kakashi's test... no one has ever passed it in all these years."
Naruto smiled but remained silent.
[If it weren't for Kakashi's somewhat special identity.]
[ Naruto will definitely make sure Kakashi can't get out of bed today.]
[This kind of assessment goes beyond mere malice.]
[Of course, that wasn't Kakashi's intention.]
[But stealing the bell is problematic in itself, and Kakashi's deliberate testing of the team makes it all the more malicious.]
Seeing this, Kurenai Yuhi roughly guessed what was going on.
[So, instinctively, I raised my hand.]
["That's just how he is, don't blame him."]
["Over the years… well, let's not talk about that, Kakashi probably hasn't even offered to treat you guys to yakiniku yet, has he?"]
Kurenai Yuhi eased the tense atmosphere somewhat.
[Then he placed his hands on Naruto and Hinata's heads.]
[It wasn't until this moment that she realized what was happening.]
[wrong!]
[These two are children who could threaten my life... This action... won't...]
Hmm...it feels really good!
[ I touched the head of the Minato- sensei lookalike~]
[ Kurenai Yuhi touched it a few times, then immediately withdrew her hand.]
[She noticed that both of their gazes were fixed on her face.]
[ Kurenai Yuhi wasn't embarrassed either.]
Ahem!
[Clears twice.]
"The point was originally for the teacher to treat us to a meal to build a better relationship."
"Going back with you would make the teacher look like a freeloader."
"Alright then, the teacher will pay for all expenses today!"
