"Hikari, I brought my students to see you. Aren't you happy?"

"Pfft..."

After Might Guy spoke, there was another burst of White Fang Flash, making Zhou Yi sigh repeatedly.

He had thought the Leaf White Fang had left no successor. Seeing this today, it had to be you, Might Guy!

"Senior Hikari!"

Neji and Tenten greeted him politely.

Hikari waved a hand in response, then looked helplessly at Might Guy.

"You came to see me at this time, so you must want something! Let me tell you, I, Hikari, was a Gatekeeper in life and would be one in death... Pah, I won't die. Go back wherever you came from, or I'm going to lose my temper!"

Might Guy ignored Hikari's words and smiled with utter sincerity. "Hikari, Lady Tsunade asked me to take you to Konoha Hospital. She's going to treat Rock Lee."

"With Tsunade there, an injury like Rock Lee's is nothing! Hurry up and go. I still need to contribute to the Hidden Leaf Village!" Hikari tried to send him away, but without revealing his strength, he was merely an ordinary Chunin. How could he drive off a clingy pest like Might Guy?

"This is youth!"

"Hikari, let us run joyfully toward the hospital!"

"No, let go of me. Wait a minute!"

"What is it?" Might Guy asked as he grabbed Hikari's wrist with one hand and turned back.

Hikari looked wordlessly at the heavens.

If the heavens had already given birth to me, Hikari, why did they have to create this big idiot, Might Guy?

Heaven has wronged me. I shall become a demon.

"Don't grab my hand. Men and men shouldn't touch like that. If you have to hold someone's hand to walk, then let Tenten do it! A pretty girl like her must have fragrant hands."

Tenten covered her face shyly. She loved listening to Hikari talk. Every time, he praised her until she felt like a flower, leaving her embarrassingly flustered.

Neji cast Hikari a disdainful glance.

They were all shinobi. Their hands were used to train taijutsu and ninjutsu. How could hands possibly smell nice under those circumstances?

Might Guy casually grabbed Tenten's wrist and gave it a light sniff.

"They don't smell nice. Hikari, you must be lying to me. Hurry up and come with me!"

Then Hikari flew.

Not figuratively. Literally.

Might Guy grabbed his wrist and took off at a mad sprint. Hikari's feet no longer touched the ground, and he was like a kite being flown.

Tenten propped her chin up with both hands, her gaze lingering longingly in the distance.

"Senior Hikari is handsome and speaks so nicely. Why isn't he married yet?"

Neji's face was full of disgust. He felt that he was the only normal one on this team; the other three were all oddballs.

"Looks can't feed you. Senior Hikari is too weak, just an ordinary Chunin. What woman would be willing to marry someone like him?"

"I would!" Tenten gazed dreamily at Hikari's retreating back.

"Senior Hikari is such a gentle person! Teacher Guy treated him like that, and he didn't even get angry. He's handsome too. He'll definitely make a good husband someday!"

Seeing Tenten like this, Neji felt a little sour.

"But Senior Hikari is about the same age as Teacher Guy. The age gap between you is too large. I think, Tenten, you should find someone closer to your own age. That way, you'll have more in common."

Tenten tilted her head and looked at Neji.

With just one look, Neji immediately stood straight and struck a handsome pose.

"Ah, sure enough..."

Neji pricked up his ears, preparing to hear what Tenten would say next.

"Senior Hikari is still the best. Mature uncles like him are the most charming!"

Neji's mouth twitched. He felt that he truly looked like a clown right now.

The real clown was me.

Konoha Hospital.

"Hikari, we're here!" After standing at attention, Might Guy put Hikari down.

When Hikari looked up, he saw the cute little nurses in the hospital watching him with bright eyes. He really wanted to cover his face. This was truly a humiliating day.

Might Guy had flown him here like a kite. He had embarrassed himself all the way to Kaguya.

Fortunately, Hikari did not care much about appearances. He smiled and waved.

"Thank you for your hard work, ladies!"

"Not at all!"

"If you came and gave me a hug, Hikari, then it wouldn't be hard work!"

"Hikari, my niece is twenty this year and you're still single. How about I introduce you two?"

"You can't do that, sis! Hikari belongs to us!"

As the Hidden Leaf Village's Gatekeeper for more than ten years, Hikari would come to Konoha Hospital during his breaks to help out. His main purpose was to secretly learn Medical Ninjutsu; his secondary purpose was to chat with the girls here and gather a little material along the way.

With his handsome looks, his standing at Konoha Hospital was second only to Kakashi's.

There was no helping it. Kakashi was a mysterious and powerful man, and the title of Konoha Technician was renowned throughout the Five Great Shinobi Countries. Under the pressure of all those advantages, Hikari could only settle for second place.

"You little brat, you came here to flirt with girls again, didn't you?" A mature female doctor in her thirties stood at the entrance and mocked Hikari.

"How can you call it flirting? I'm letting them learn how treacherous people's hearts can be!" Hikari defended himself.

At most, he was glib and teased them verbally. He would never take advantage of them physically. He did it to preserve his own purity, so he could pass through a sea of flowers without a single petal touching him.

"Heh heh!"

"Guy brought you here, so you must be here to see Rock Lee and Kakashi, right? I'm warning you, behave yourself lately. Don't go flirting with girls, understand?"

"Relax, relax. You don't have a partner either, sis. What do you think of Guy? He's a Hidden Leaf Village Jonin with great strength. He can definitely satisfy you."

"You little punk, what nonsense are you talking about? Forget it, you two can stay at the entrance! Neither of you is going inside today!"

The moment she said that, Might Guy became anxious.

"Hikari, Lady Tsunade still needs to treat Rock Lee. We can't not go in!"

Hikari smiled. "Since sis has said so, why don't you use your good looks? Maybe you can make her change her mind. What do you think?"

Might Guy rubbed his chin, quite approvingly.

"My looks are on par with Kakashi's. In all of the Hidden Leaf Village, I'm only slightly inferior to you, Hikari. If I use my good looks, there won't be a problem!"

The nurse clenched her fists and stared wide-eyed at Might Guy.

She truly did not know what Might Guy was thinking.

With that face of his, where did he get the nerve to say he was evenly matched with Kakashi?

How much confidence did that take?

"Beautiful lady, I..."

Just as Might Guy was about to confidently make his move, Hikari grabbed him and pulled him back.

"Stop fooling around. Lady Tsunade is here!"

Might Guy immediately fell silent. When he turned around, he saw Tsunade walking over from afar, her enormous waves making men turn their heads and women weep.

What a shameless Fifth Hokage. How could a woman grow that big? It had to be a mutation!

Tsunade: ###.

The moment she arrived beside Hikari, she heard his wild thoughts.

Tsunade was so angry that she wanted to beat him senseless.

Her sharp gaze shot straight at Hikari, but the guy's skin was so thick that he endured it without flinching, rendering her glare useless.

"Lady Tsunade, I finally get to see you!" The nurse excitedly bowed to Tsunade. Her appearance as a die-hard fan made Hikari truly realize Tsunade's prestige within the Hidden Leaf Village's medical system.
