Beizawa, You've Ruined Me

Beizawa returned home.

He sat on the sofa and took out the ninjutsu scroll Hiruzen Sarutobi had rewarded him with: Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere, a B-rank technique with a moderate learning difficulty.

How should he put it?

Though it was the same Wind Style technique, the scroll's contents were nowhere near as detailed as the Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere rewarded by the system.

In short, there was nothing worth noting.

The sun set, then rose again.

A new day began.

Beizawa opened his eyes and stretched lazily.

Today was Saturday. He did not have to work at the Ninja Academy, but that did not mean he had any fewer things to do.

Aside from finding a teacher for Naruto Uzumaki, he also had to discuss Yakumo Kurama's next genjutsu with Kurenai Yuhi.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Beizawa paused, got up, changed his clothes, and went to the entrance.

The door opened, revealing a flash of gorgeous red.

Kurenai Yuhi had changed into a red off-the-shoulder dress with a plunging neckline. Her fair skin trembled faintly with every breath.

Beizawa glanced at her subconsciously and thought, They really aren't small.

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to welcome me?"

Kurenai Yuhi asked with a smile.

"How could I not?"

Beizawa took the bag from her and said, "A beautiful woman has come to visit. I'm definitely going to be lucky today."

"You still know exactly what to say."

Kurenai Yuhi stepped forward, walked to the shoe cabinet, and bent down to remove her shoes.

Beneath her skirt were calves wrapped in black stockings, smooth and lean without a trace of excess flesh.

"I'm only telling the truth."

Beizawa withdrew his gaze, looked at the bag, and asked, "Why did you bring alcohol?"

"Why can't it be alcohol?"

Kurenai Yuhi's black-stockinged feet landed on the floor with a dull sound.

"You drink in the morning too?"

Beizawa followed behind her and said, "Drinking too much isn't good for your health."

"This isn't for the morning. It's for tonight."

Kurenai Yuhi walked over to the sofa.

She reached out with both hands and smoothed down her dress from her rounded hips all the way down before slowly sitting.

"Tonight?"

Beizawa laughed and asked, "Are you already planning to eat two meals at my place?"

"It's called returning the favor."

Kurenai Yuhi sat upright with her legs together and asked with a smile, "Do you remember how many meals you've eaten at my house?"

"So, are you planning to have Ichiraku Ramen, or should I cook myself?"

Beizawa sat opposite her and set the alcohol on the coffee table.

"Of course you should cook yourself."

Kurenai Yuhi touched her chin and said, "I haven't eaten much of your cooking yet."

"Don't get your hopes up."

Beizawa spread his hands. "At best, it's passable."

"I'm not picky."

Kurenai Yuhi took out two scrolls and asked, "Shall we start researching the genjutsu now?"

"Give me half an hour."

Beizawa stood and said, "I need to go out for a bit."

"Fine."

Kurenai Yuhi did not mind. She took out a pen and said, "I'll study them first."

"Mm."

Beizawa changed his shoes and left home.

On the way, he bought two slices of bread for breakfast.

Beizawa had never been to Naruto Uzumaki's home, but his address was listed in the student records.

He soon reached his destination: a slightly shabby two-story residence.

Beizawa raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Teacher Beizawa?"

The door opened, and Naruto Uzumaki, dressed in Green Spandex, stared at him in surprise.

"Heading out?"

Beizawa looked at his clothes and twitched the corner of his mouth.

"I've been going on morning runs with Uncle Guy and Rock Lee lately."

Naruto Uzumaki replied.

Rock Lee?

Beizawa raised a brow.

It seemed his reminder had worked. Might Guy had already taken Rock Lee as his student and begun training him.

"Your morning run is canceled for today."

Beizawa explained, "I'm taking you to meet a ninja who specializes in the Transformation Technique."

"Is he strong?"

Naruto Uzumaki asked curiously.

"It's not a matter of whether he's strong or not. He's a rare and special kind of ninja."

Beizawa smiled. "He has mastered a thousand ninjutsu and can tailor a Transformation Technique just for you."

"Really?"

Naruto Uzumaki's eyes lit up.

Ever since Beizawa had told him that unofficial story about Madara Uchiha, he had come up with quite a few strange ideas for the Transformation Technique.

"Have I ever lied to you?"

Beizawa asked in return.

"No."

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head and answered somewhat sheepishly.

"Let's go."

Beizawa patted him on the shoulder and headed outside.

"Wait for me!"

Naruto Uzumaki shut the door and hurried after him.

"As for the Transformation Technique, tell him whatever ideas you have. Don't hold back."

After thinking for a moment, Beizawa gave him that reminder.

"Okay, Teacher Beizawa."

Naruto Uzumaki nodded, then suddenly thought of something and asked hesitantly, "Will he... hate me?"

Although his time at the Ninja Academy had been happy lately, once he left the academy, his situation of being hated by others had not changed.

"He won't."

Beizawa paused, then added, "His name is Kakashi Hatake, and he's good friends with Might Guy."

Naruto Uzumaki felt much more at ease upon hearing that.

In his view, anyone who could become good friends with Might Guy could not be an ordinary ninja.

He had trained with Might Guy for a while now. How should he put it? He felt a sense of shared misery.

Because of his overly strange behavior, Might Guy was not popular.

And neither was he.

There was a knock at the door.

Kakashi Hatake subconsciously stood and looked toward the entrance.

He had already guessed who it was, but for some reason, he felt an unusual trace of nervousness.

Ever since Minato Namikaze had died, he had not seen Naruto Uzumaki.

Kakashi Hatake let out a breath and opened the door.

His gaze immediately fell on Naruto Uzumaki, especially his golden hair.

"Kakashi."

Beizawa introduced him first. "This is Naruto Uzumaki."

"Hello, Teacher Kakashi!"

Naruto Uzumaki had always been quick to warm up to people, and he eagerly greeted him.

Teacher?

Hearing that familiar form of address, Kakashi Hatake was suddenly dazed.

He stood there for two seconds before coming back to himself.

"Mm."

Kakashi Hatake replied calmly.

"You two talk."

Beizawa promptly said, "I still have things to take care of, so I'll be leaving first."

"I heard from Beizawa that you want to develop a new Transformation Technique?"

After Beizawa left, Kakashi Hatake turned and walked into the living room.

"Mm!"

Naruto Uzumaki nodded heavily, then asked, "Teacher Kakashi, can you help me?"

"It's no trouble at all."

Kakashi Hatake asked confidently, "What do you have in mind?"

"I want to use the Transformation Technique to turn into a beautiful woman and confuse my enemies!"

Naruto Uzumaki said excitedly.

Kakashi Hatake's body stiffened, and a question mark appeared on his face.

Was that really a proper idea?

Who taught him that? Lord Jiraiya? Or Lord Hokage?

"Teacher Kakashi."

Remembering what Beizawa had once said, Naruto Uzumaki asked, "Do you know what a beautiful, sexy woman looks like?"

Kakashi Hatake wanted to speak but stopped himself. He wanted to say something, but had no idea what he could say.

A thousand words merged into a single sentence: Beizawa, you've ruined me!
