Beizawa: I Want to See Your Legs

Sunday morning.

Beizawa got out of bed groggily and instinctively headed for the bathroom.

After taking a few steps, his eyes suddenly widened, and he snapped awake.

Because he saw Kurenai Yuhi.

Only then did Beizawa remember that, just like last week, they were spending the weekend together researching Yakumo Kurama's new genjutsu—the Art of Truth-Telling.

"Good morning, Beizawa."

Kurenai Yuhi looked him over, a flash of amazement passing through her eyes.

Beizawa froze for a moment, realizing something. He hurriedly buttoned up his pajamas.

"I'm not even afraid. What are you afraid of?"

Kurenai Yuhi asked with a smile.

"I'm not afraid. I just don't want to get the short end of the stick."

Beizawa looked at her and said seriously, "It's unfair if you're the only one who gets to look."

Kurenai Yuhi was still wearing that red low-cut dress, exposing a stretch of fair calf.

Perhaps because she had just gotten up, she was not wearing black stockings.

"Then where do you want to look?"

Kurenai Yuhi ran her slender jade finger across her moist red lips and asked with a smile.

Beizawa could not help but pause.

He had never seen this sexy and playful side of Kurenai Yuhi before.

Had she revealed her true nature because they had spent so much time together?

"I want to see your legs."

Beizawa answered honestly.

"You actually dared to say that!"

Kurenai Yuhi blanked for a moment, then stepped forward, raised her jade foot, and stomped on his foot.

The fair, tender, slightly cool sensation vanished as soon as it touched him.

Beizawa felt a pang of regret.

If she had been wearing black stockings... ahem.

"How is that my fault?"

Beizawa said righteously, "I was just answering the question you asked."

"You make it sound like you're the one who's been wronged."

Kurenai Yuhi rolled her eyes at him.

"I really have been wronged!"

Beizawa blinked and said, "I didn't see anything at all!"

"..."

Kurenai Yuhi felt that she had underestimated Beizawa.

After leaving behind, "I'm going to cook," she turned and entered the kitchen.

Kurenai Yuhi let out a breath.

At first, she had only wanted to tease Beizawa. Who would have thought that she would fail to gain the upper hand in their verbal sparring?

"When did this guy change so much?"

Kurenai Yuhi recalled the glimpse she had caught earlier and said with a smile, "I have to admit, he has a great body."

A few minutes later, the two sat at the dining table.

"Thank you."

Beizawa looked at the Chashu Ramen before him and said.

"It can't compare to Ichiraku Ramen, so just make do."

Kurenai Yuhi said casually.

"That may not be true."

Beizawa smiled and asked, "Have you heard the phrase 'a feast for the eyes'?"

Kurenai Yuhi paused slightly, then understood.

She chuckled and asked, "Where did you learn all these random phrases?"

"I'm a teacher at the Ninja Academy."

Beizawa said unhurriedly, "It's only natural that I know a bit more than others."

"I'm not unfamiliar with the teachers at the Ninja Academy."

Kurenai Yuhi shook her head as she spoke.

In many people's eyes, only ninjas with no ambition became teachers at the Ninja Academy.

In truth, that was more or less the case.

Ninjas with dreams all sought to climb higher, training hard and strengthening themselves, some even aiming to become Hokage.

That was also why graduates of the Ninja Academy were assigned team leaders.

"Have you ever considered becoming a ninja again and taking missions?"

Kurenai Yuhi slurped up a mouthful of ramen and asked.

"I think being a teacher is pretty good."

After giving it some thought, Teacher Beizawa said, "If you're short-handed on a mission, you can call me."

It wasn't that he had nothing better to do. He had considered it carefully.

As the system's rewards increased, his strength would only grow.

He couldn't hide it forever, but revealing everything at once would be too shocking. Gradually exposing his abilities was undoubtedly the most reasonable approach.

"Sure."

Kurenai Yuhi agreed without hesitation. "I'll call you if there's a suitable mission."

Under Konoha's rules, genin could not accept missions alone, but chunin could form teams to take them.

Just as the two finished breakfast, Yakumo Kurama arrived right on time.

However, she did not participate in the research on the Art of Truth-Telling. Instead, she went up to the roof, took out her painting supplies, and practiced her Kekkei Genkai.

"It's nine o'clock. I need to head out."

Teacher Beizawa glanced at the clock on the wall and hurriedly got to his feet.

Today was the day Hinata Hyuga and Toranosuke had agreed to fight.

"Mm."

Kurenai Yuhi did not ask further questions, merely nodding.

It was the same familiar little grove.

Hinata Hyuga stood where she was, waiting for Teacher Beizawa to arrive.

Whenever she had passed through this grove before, she had always felt uncontrollably afraid. But this time, there was no fear left in her heart.

Footsteps sounded.

Hinata Hyuga instinctively raised her head, and when she saw Toranosuke, disappointment surfaced on her face.

Why isn't it Teacher Beizawa?

Toranosuke anxiously looked around. When he saw that Hinata Hyuga was alone, he immediately relaxed.

Without that teacher who bullied a child with his age, what did he have to fear?

"Hey! You Byakugan freak, aren't you going to surrender when you see me?"

Toranosuke asked arrogantly.

That identical tone made Hinata Hyuga think of something from long ago.

But the past was the past, and the present was the present.

"Form the Seal of Confrontation."

Hinata Hyuga spoke gently, yet with great determination.

"You really think you can beat me? What a joke!"

Toranosuke said coldly. "If it hadn't been for that bastard teacher last time, you—"

"Shut up!"

Hinata Hyuga's expression changed abruptly. She said with a stern look, "You're not allowed to insult Teacher Beizawa!"

"So what if I do?"

Toranosuke was startled by her, but quickly flew into embarrassed rage. "What teacher? He's just a—"

Hinata Hyuga dashed forward in a single step, her two fingers like arrows as they struck his right wrist.

Toranosuke immediately felt the Chakra in his body stagnate.

Before he could react, Hinata Hyuga attacked again. She spread her fingers, drew them together, then drove out a palm strike.

"Argh! Argh! Argh!"

The pain coursing through his body, combined with the sheer force of the blow, sent Toranosuke crashing straight to the ground.

Clutching his chest with both hands, he rolled about continuously, screaming in agony.

Hinata Hyuga froze where she stood.

She tilted her head and looked at her small, fair hands, a question surfacing in her mind.

I hadn't even used any strength yet. How did he fall down already?

"You did well, Hinata."

Teacher Beizawa's voice came from nearby.

"Teacher Beizawa!"

Hinata Hyuga snapped back to her senses and trotted over to him, her little face full of smiles.

Beizawa smiled as well, because he had received the corresponding mission reward.

[Current Mission: Help your deskmate Hinata Hyuga defeat Toranosuke.]

[Mission Reward: Water Release: Water Colliding Wave.]

[The host has completed the mission. Reward distributed.]

Water Release: Water Colliding Wave was somewhat similar to the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique. One expelled water, while the other expelled fire.

Beizawa reached out and patted Hinata Hyuga on the head.

At this point, only one of her missions remained: for her to voluntarily reveal her secret—that she could eat. Its reward was the Byakugan.
