Kurenai Yuhi's Request

"Beizawa, long time no see."

Her slender, bandage-wrapped legs lifted as Kurenai Yuhi walked up to Beizawa.

"Not that long. We saw each other just last week."

Beizawa's gaze fell upon the bandages around her hands.

In his previous life, he had always wondered why Kurenai Yuhi wrapped bandages around her thighs and hands.

"Beizawa, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

A smile appeared on Kurenai Yuhi's fair face as she spoke.

Beizawa was somewhat surprised.

Although Kurenai Yuhi was, like him, a Chunin, there were differences even among Chunin.

Because she possessed Family Ninjutsu.

Her father was Shinku Yuhi, one of Konoha's few Genjutsu Jonin.

If Kurenai Yuhi was a Chunin among Chunin, then Beizawa was an ordinary Chunin.

"I recently became a Private Tutor."

Kurenai Yuhi spoke in a troubled tone. "But this student is extremely disobedient, so I wanted to learn from you."

Beizawa fell into thought upon hearing that.

In the original work, Kurenai Yuhi was the team leader of Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame, and Kiba Inuzuka.

But she also had another student named Yakumo Kurama.

She possessed a special Genjutsu Kekkei Genkai that could turn genjutsu into reality.

Genjutsu belonged to Yin Release, and the excessive strength of her Yin Release often caused problems with her body.

For safety reasons, her parents had not allowed her to study at the Ninja Academy, instead hiring Kurenai Yuhi as her Private Tutor.

Yet she was obsessed with becoming a ninja.

After being rejected again and again, a Yin Release monster named Ido was born within her heart, and in her loss of control, she killed her parents.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, noticed Yakumo Kurama's danger and ordered Kurenai Yuhi to eliminate the monster within her.

"You were named the Ninja Academy's best teacher for three consecutive years."

Kurenai Yuhi clasped her hands together and leaned forward slightly. "Please, old classmate!"

Just as Beizawa was about to speak, a blue screen appeared before his eyes.

[Current mission: Help classmate Yakumo Kurama return to the Ninja Academy.]

[Mission reward: Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death.]

[Accept?]

Beizawa could not help but frown.

Was there something wrong with this difficulty and reward?

Or was this mission not as difficult as he had imagined?

After all, this was several years earlier than Yakumo Kurama's storyline in the original work.

Still, there was no harm in taking on more missions, and there was no penalty for failing, so he decided to accept it first.

"No problem."

Beizawa agreed. "I'm quite confident when it comes to teaching students."

"Thank you. With your help, I feel much more at ease."

Kurenai Yuhi patted her chest as she spoke.

"Come find me after school tomorrow."

After thinking for a moment, Beizawa said, "I'll share some teaching experience with you then."

"Mm."

Kurenai Yuhi nodded and smiled brightly. "I'll treat you to drinks tomorrow night."

"Sure."

Beizawa said without ceremony, "We won't go home until we're drunk."

"Ever since we were kids, you've never outdrunk me. I'll definitely be the one taking you home again."

Kurenai Yuhi spoke with a smug look on her face.

"The past is the past. The present is the present."

Beizawa stubbornly retorted.

"Then I'll look forward to seeing what you can do."

Kurenai Yuhi reached out and lightly punched him. "I'm off. See you tomorrow."

Beizawa watched her walk away and could not help shaking his head.

He and Kurenai Yuhi were childhood friends. They had been in the same class since they were six, and they had known each other for fifteen years now.

Besides her, his classmates included Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara, and others.

But most of them had died in the Third Shinobi World War, and the grass on their graves was now three yards high.

Without a doubt, Beizawa was a transmigrator.

After writing, "Have you ever been a ninja? You made up so many things out of thin air," in the comments of a Naruto Fanfiction Novel titled Lurking in Konoha, Working Part-Time as Hokage, he arrived in Konoha.

Since both his parents were Chunin of Konoha, he was sent to the Ninja Academy at the age of six.

Unfortunately, his talent was mediocre.

He had finally graduated at thirteen and become a Genin, only to receive news of his parents' deaths.

Beizawa came to understand the cruelty of reality.

Charging at Madara Uchiha while shouting about bonds and friendship was something only protagonists could do.

He was cannon fodder among cannon fodder, so he decisively changed careers and became a teacher.

At the Ninja Academy, Beizawa mainly taught the Will of Fire and Konoha History. Occasionally, he taught Combat Class, namely things like the Three Body Techniques.

Building upon the Will of Fire, he put forward the theory that "the Hokage is the sun, and the Hokage's kindness can never be repaid."

Because of that, he was selected as the Ninja Academy's best teacher for three consecutive years.

Of course, his teaching ability was also quite good.

After pondering for a moment, Beizawa did not return to the academy and instead headed north.

With Umino Iruka handling the registrations, he had nothing to worry about.

"System, bring up my character panel."

Beizawa suddenly thought of something and silently said in his heart.

[Name: Beizawa.]

[Age: Six.]

[Ninjutsu: Clone Technique, Substitution Technique, Transformation Technique, Body Flicker Technique, Wind Release: Gale Palm, Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique.]

[Evaluation: So-called geniuses are merely the threshold to meet you. You are a born ninja, destined to become the strongest.]

Beizawa rolled his eyes.

He suspected that this system was being sarcastic.

A twenty-one-year-old genius ninja? If word got out, the Uchiha would laugh wildly for three days and three nights.

But upon seeing the age on the panel, he understood. The system was not lying; it was running its program on a bug.

Beizawa recalled a saying: If a bug can run, don't fix it.

A training ground at the edge of Konoha.

Beizawa stopped and formed hand seals.

A large amount of Chakra gathered in his throat. When he opened his mouth and exhaled, a massive fireball five or six meters in diameter emerged.

The air warped, and the terrifying heat sent waves of scorching air rolling outward.

Boom!

The massive fireball struck the ground, instantly blackening it.

"This system really isn't bad."

Beizawa stared blankly for a moment, then revealed a satisfied smile.

The power of a ninjutsu depended on the user's Chakra and proficiency.

Beizawa had seen many ninjas use Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique, but none had displayed such imposing power.

It was no exaggeration to say that if he had enough Chakra, he would not be inferior to Madara Uchiha.

That was the value of the system directly maxing out his proficiency.

Hokage's Office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened a scroll.

The scroll recorded Naruto Uzumaki's experiences that day.

When he saw that Beizawa had come into contact with Naruto Uzumaki, he could not help falling into thought.

Before long, he recalled Beizawa's file.

An unremarkable Chunin, but one with unique insights into the Will of Fire.

"He probably doesn't know Naruto's true identity."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly.

While others feared Naruto Uzumaki like a tiger, Beizawa treated him fairly, proving that he truly practiced the Will of Fire.

"I wonder what Naruto will learn."

Anticipation appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face.
