The other teammate was a rather sturdy, large boy—a member of the Akimichi clan.
His name was quite comical: Akimichi Panci (which sounded suspiciously like “panties”).
Like Choji Akimichi, one of the famous “Konoha 12” in the original story, Panci was a glutton; from the moment they met, he never stopped chewing.
Since there were no members of the Yamanaka or Nara clans in this year’s graduating class, the “Ino-Shika-Cho” trio couldn’t be formed, so he was assigned here.
After the three of them were assigned to the same squad, they exchanged brief pleasantries and fell silent.
Just as Chiya thought they would have to wait until evening like Team 7 in the original series, the classroom door was pushed open.
A beautiful woman walked in.
Yes, a real beauty.
She had black, center-parted wavy hair, crimson eyes, a cool and pretty face, and a well-proportioned figure.
At first glance, she looked to be around twenty, yet possessed a mature allure that a young girl couldn’t mimic.
She radiated a sensory, elegant beauty that was a joy to behold.
“Tsk tsk…
those eyes, that hairstyle, that figure…
cough cough…
could this really be Kurenai Yuhi?” Chiya thought, his inner monologue going into overdrive.
The beauty scanned the three of them, nodded slightly, walked to the podium, and wrote three large characters on the blackboard: Kurenai Yuhi.
“My name is Kurenai Yuhi, a newly promoted Special Jōnin of Konoha.
I like shochu, vodka, and octopus with wasabi.
I dislike cake.
My specialty is genjutsu.
This is my first time acting as a team leader, and from here on out, I will be guiding you through missions.
You are now my students; you can call me Teacher Kurenai or Teacher Yuhi, whichever you prefer.” “Alright, let’s start with your self-introductions.” “M-me!
Me!” Airi Akizuki, the only girl in the trio, raised her hand excitedly.
“My name is Airi Akizuki.
My specialty is…
Teacher Kurenai, you are so…
so beautiful…
so pretty.” Akimichi Panci grabbed a handful of potato chips, shoved them into his mouth, and began chewing with a loud crunch before introducing himself.
“I’m Akimichi Panci.
I like potato chips and barbecue.
I don’t have any foods I dislike.
My specialty is the Multi-Size Technique.” When it was Fujiwara Chiya’s turn, a long-lost system notification sounded in his mind: [Ding!
As the strongest male lead of a generation, how could you let the goddess before you remain a widow for that short-lived ghost, Asuma Sarutobi?
Make your choice.] “1.
Step forward and introduce yourself to win the goddess’s favor.
Reward: Perfect Water-style chakra and nature transformation.” “2.
Let Kurenai Yuhi be pursued by Asuma Sarutobi until she falls for him.
Reward: Koharu Utatane’s vintage panties.” Panties again…
And it’s that old hag Koharu Utatane’s…
Chiya’s mouth twitched violently.
This was a direct path to social suicide.
Seeing Chiya hesitate, Airi Akizuki gave him a nudge and whispered, “Chiya-kun, it’s your turn to introduce yourself.” Chiya nodded slightly and gave the answer he had already prepared.
“My name is Fujiwara Chiya.
I like stir-fried eggs with green peppers.
I dislike coriander and animal organs.
My specialty is Taijutsu.” Having said that, he took a deep breath.
As if having made a monumental decision, he walked up to Kurenai Yuhi and said with a straight face, “Teacher Kurenai, may I ask if you have a boyfriend?” “I…
I don’t, not currently.” Kurenai was stunned, her fair face turning crimson instantly.
Even though she was a Special Jōnin, she was ultimately a maiden who had never experienced romance, and for a moment, she was completely flustered.
Hearing this, Chiya took her hand.
“Then go out with me, Teacher Kurenai.” Crash!
The gazes of Airi Akizuki and Akimichi Panci shattered instantly.
Even the usually composed Kurenai Yuhi couldn’t help but lose her cool.
Suddenly, her mind went blank.
In her entire life, this was the first time someone had confessed to her to her face!
And it was a kid!
Even if this kid looked good and was rumored to have talent, but…
Oh my god, Kurenai, what are you thinking?!
Just as Kurenai was spiraling into chaos, the system notification sounded again in Chiya’s head: [Ding!
Task complete.
Congratulations, host, you have obtained Perfect Water-style chakra and nature transformation.] Chiya let an imperceptible smirk play on his lips.
Putting on his acting mask again, he stood up and said with a look of feigned regret, “It seems Teacher Kurenai still thinks I’m too young.
Well then, we shall date once I’ve grown up.” With that, Chiya walked off the podium to the admiring gazes of Airi and Panci.
Airi even gave him a thumbs up, as if to say, Chiya-kun, you’re a legend—you even dared to tease the teacher!
By then, Kurenai had finally snapped back to reality.
Realizing she had been teased, her face went from pale to purple, finally settling on a dark, stormy black.
She called out to Chiya coldly: “Chiya-kun.” “Yes?” Chiya turned back, knowing he had successfully provoked her.
“You just said you wanted to date the teacher, right?” Kurenai used a Body Flicker to appear behind Chiya, her slender fingers lightly brushing his cheek.
“Is this the Body Flicker of a Special Jōnin?” Chiya observed her move, his expression calm and unwavering.
“Yes, I did.” “Then for the time being, until you officially become a Chūnin, I will ‘cherish’ you well.” Kurenai wore a dangerous smile, then turned her gaze to Airi and Panci.
“You two, come with me to the training ground.
Today, I want to properly understand your strength.” “Yes…” The two of them shivered for no reason, and under their aggrieved gazes, the group headed to the training grounds.
Kurenai crossed her arms, her expression icy.
“I’ll give you time to discuss your tactics.
When we start, you will attack together.
Don’t hold back; attack me with the intent to kill.
And I will be sure to ‘cherish’ you well.” The last part was directed at Chiya.
Hearing this, Airi and Panci’s expressions turned grave.
Airi said to Chiya, “Chiya-kun, while I admire your obsession with Teacher Kurenai, it looks like she’s going to get serious now.
We can never be a match for a Special Jōnin.
I’ll act as the decoy, and Panci will use the Multi-Size Technique to attack.
Finally, while she’s dodging, use your best taijutsu on her.
Teacher Kurenai specializes in Genjutsu, so Taijutsu should be her weakness.” “No problem!” Chiya gave Kurenai, who was watching from not far away, a meaningful look.
He drew his Zanpakutō from his waist, leaving a flash of white light, and whispered in his heart, “Shatter, Kyōka Suigetsu.” The hypnotic ritual was complete.
Chiya didn’t intend to use his sword for this fight, so he sheathed it.
“You aren’t using your sword?” Airi asked, surprised.
Chiya shook his head and intentionally raised his voice: “This isn’t a duel to the death.
What if I accidentally hurt Kurenai?” 🔥 Want More Chapters?
