"Kurenai, what are you doing?" Hyuga Bin was caught off guard by Kurenai Yuhi's sudden overstepping.

"Bin, I like you." Kurenai Yuhi looked up, gathering all her courage, and confessed what she had been holding back.

[Option A: Accept Kurenai Yuhi's confession and teach her some couple's intimacy on the spot. Completion Reward: Wind Release - Major Breakthrough (C-rank Reward).]

[Option B: Reject Kurenai Yuhi's confession and tell her you like girls with big chests and perky butts, and have no interest in flat-chested little girls like her. Completion Reward: Water Release - Great Waterball Technique (B-rank Reward).]

[Option C: Gently reject Kurenai Yuhi. Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +0.1.]

"Kurenai, I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to date right now." Hyuga Bin pushed Kurenai Yuhi away, saying with an apologetic tone.

[Option Task Complete, Dojutsu +0.1.]

Hyuga Bin was very surprised by Kurenai Yuhi's sudden confession. After all, Kurenai Yuhi had only asked him to be a "shield" yesterday, so when she told him tonight that she had something to say, he never expected it to be a confession.

Kurenai Yuhi was thirteen years old this year, still a "first-year middle school student." Hyuga Bin really couldn't bring himself to do it.

Kurenai Yuhi had guessed that Hyuga Bin would refuse. Her goal tonight was simply to tell Hyuga Bin that she liked him.

Then, to know Hyuga Bin's attitude towards her.

From the outcome, she was satisfied.

Hyuga Bin didn't immediately push her away when she threw herself into his arms, nor did he show any annoyance. His reason for refusal was simply that he didn't have plans to date right now.

Of course, although satisfied internally, she wanted to know more, so she asked Hyuga Bin, "Bin, do you already like a girl?"

Faced with Kurenai Yuhi's question, Hyuga Bin's mind suddenly flashed to Konan... and Tsunade.

Huh?

Did I fall for two impossible women at the same time?

Hyuga Bin couldn't help but laugh.

He could understand why he suddenly thought of Konan and Tsunade, because among the women he knew, Konan and Tsunade were the most beautiful.

As a normal man, he couldn't help but pursue beautiful things. Konan was good-looking, and Tsunade was both good-looking and big...

"Can you tell me who it is?" Kurenai Yuhi's heart sank when she saw Hyuga Bin suddenly smiling.

"I don't have a girl I like right now, Kurenai. Go to bed early, goodnight."

After Hyuga Bin finished speaking to Kurenai Yuhi and intended to leave, he was stopped by a shocking question from Kurenai Yuhi: "Then what about a boy you like?"

"How could I possibly like boys?" Hyuga Bin didn't quite understand Kurenai Yuhi's train of thought.

To prevent Kurenai Yuhi from overthinking, Hyuga Bin decided to tell a joke to ease the tension:

"Kurenai, actually, I was lying just now. The people I actually like are Yugito Nii from Iwagakure, Samui from Kumogakure, Pakura from Sunagakure, Mei Terumi from Kirigakure, Konan from Amegakure, and Tsunade from Konohagakure. I plan to marry them all and promote great peace in the Ninja World."

"Pfft..."

Kurenai Yuhi, whose sense of humor wasn't that high to begin with, was amused by Hyuga Bin's words: "Bin, even if you're making an excuse, at least make it realistic. How can you like so many people at once?"

Putting aside the people she had never heard of from enemy villages, like that "little cat" Yugito, even Tsunade from Konohagakure was absolutely impossible.

"Haha, I'm serious." Hyuga Bin also laughed.

He hadn't even told Kurenai Yuhi about the Japanese actresses he had pursued over the years.

The early teachers like Aoi and Mutou, the mid-era teachers like Hata and Ohashi, and the teachers he studied before his transmigration like Mikami, Hashimoto, and Aizawa...

"I've decided. Unless you have a girlfriend, I will continue to pursue you." Kurenai Yuhi knew that Hyuga Bin was just making excuses. She immediately issued an "ultimatum" to Hyuga Bin, then ran into her house, not giving Hyuga Bin a chance to refuse her again.

A week later, with ten days left until the end of his vacation, Hyuga Bin was summoned by the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Wanting to avoid work, Hyuga Bin rushed to the Hokage's office and found that besides him, Namikaze Minato, Hatake Kakashi, and the new generation Ino-Shika-Cho trio of Nara Shikaku, Choza Akimichi, and Inoichi Yamanaka were also present.

"I've urgently summoned you five this time to assist Minato with a mission. The mission rank is S-rank."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, with his ever-present pipe, spoke to Hyuga Bin and the other five: "Minato will inform you of the specific mission details later. For now, hurry up and prepare to depart."

The summoning of the Ino-Shika-Cho and Hatake Kakashi was because the mission required the strength of the four as assistance.

Hyuga Bin was summoned because the team needed a Medical Ninja.

Compared to other Medical Ninjas who mastered the Mystical Palm Technique, Hyuga Bin, born into the Hyuga Clan's branch family and not controlled by the Hokage, was clearly more suitable.

Leaving the Hokage Building, Hyuga Bin immediately asked Namikaze Minato, "Senior Minato, are we going on a mission to the front lines against Iwagakure?"

According to the original story in his memory, the Battle of Kannabi Bridge was still a few months away, but he couldn't rule out the butterfly effect causing the war to start early.

After all, because White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, was still alive, Iwagakure had not launched a surprise attack on Kumogakure, and the Third Raikage, A, was actively fighting on the front lines against Konohagakure, without any record of fighting ten thousand ninjas alone and dying from exhaustion.

"It's in the direction of Kumogakure. We'll discuss the specific mission details on the way. Now, go prepare supplies. We'll gather at the village entrance in two hours and depart." Namikaze Minato gave Hyuga Bin a brief answer before arranging for the five of them to prepare for departure.

Hyuga Bin went straight home, packed his supplies and sealing scrolls, bid farewell to Hyuga Rei, and then waited at the village entrance for everyone to arrive.

This was Hyuga Bin's first S-rank mission since transmigrating to the Naruto world.

Coupled with the deployment of Minato, who already had the title "Yellow Flash," the new generation "Ino-Shika-Cho," and Hatake Kakashi, who inherited the title of White Fang, this powerful lineup undoubtedly meant the mission was extremely dangerous.
