Iruka's Class's Transfer Student

"Hey! Sis, what can I say about you!"

Hanabi sighed. She had always looked up to her older sister, hoping to become a gentle yet powerful person like her when she grew up.

However, if gentleness meant being bullied, she didn't want it!

Hinata fell silent. She truly didn't want to attack anyone, didn't want to hurt others.

Suddenly, Hanabi's eyes lit up. She had an idea.

"How about, Sis, we learn Taijutsu from Kiyotaki-kun!"

"Huh?"

Hinata and Naruto stared at Hanabi in surprise.

Hanabi placed one hand on her hip and the other on her chin, speaking with the air of a little adult.

Having spent time together recently, she had a deep understanding of Kiyotaki's strength!

"Brother Kiyotaki's Taijutsu is incredible, and it also improves control over force. It can definitely allow you to hit someone without injuring them!"

On this point, Hanabi was more confident than Kiyotaki.

Kiyotaki: ...

He really wanted to retort, My Taijutsu is known for high damage, don't you know that!?

"Is that really possible?"

Hinata looked at Kiyotaki cautiously.

"Hm?"

Naruto narrowed his eyes. "Kiyotaki, you're definitely willing to teach her, right? Right!"

By the end, Naruto's tone had a hint of "please."

"Hahaha! Of course, you can. Anyone who wants to learn can train with me."

Kiyotaki naturally wouldn't refuse. Training with one more person was still training.

"However, becoming a strong person isn't simple!"

Kiyotaki said sternly.

"Have you seen Konoha at 3 AM?"

"No!"

"No!"

"No!"

The three children replied in unison.

The guard behind Hanabi felt he should fit in and weakly raised his hand.

"I have!"

Kiyotaki: ...

Even I haven't seen Konoha at 3 AM!

Okay, let's ignore him!

Kiyotaki pretended not to see.

"You'd best be prepared. Training Taijutsu with me is very tough!"

"I'm not afraid!"

Hanabi jumped up and said firmly.

"Mm! I can do it too!"

Although Hinata appeared introverted and delicate on the outside, her heart was very resolute.

"That's good."

Kiyotaki nodded.

"Then come to my house before dawn tomorrow morning."

As Kiyotaki walked back, he suddenly turned around.

"Oh, right! Practicing martial arts consumes a lot of energy. You need to be mentally prepared, especially Hinata. Don't restrict your food intake at all."

The next day, before dawn.

Hanabi arrived with Hinata, followed by several Hyuga guards. Naruto, still groggy and with his eyes not yet fully open, trailed behind them.

"Come in!"

Kiyotaki welcomed them into his home.

Naruto rubbed his eyes and entered as if sleepwalking.

"I practiced Kunai too late last night. I haven't slept enough. Let me sleep a bit longer."

Speaking, he walked to Qinglong's bedside and collapsed onto it, falling asleep on the bed.

A group of people were speechless.

"Sister, I told you, we shouldn't have woken Naruto-kun up before he got enough sleep."

Hanabi looked at Naruto, who was sleeping like a log, and sighed.

"Is Naruto okay?"

Hinata said worriedly.

Qinglong took a look. Naruto indeed hadn't slept enough. This kid must have been up late training again last night.

"He's fine! Let him sleep."

Qinglong pointed to the turtle shells hanging on the wall.

"These are the training tools I used."

He picked up the smallest one, adjusted it to the lowest weight, and handed it to Hinata to wear.

Hinata stumbled. It was so heavy!

Hanabi clamored, "I want one too! I want one too!"

"Hmm~"

Qinglong looked at her and thought for a moment. He found a set of gravity bracers from a box and also adjusted the weight to be low.

"Here, wear them on your ankles."

Hanabi stared for a moment, then extended her little feet.

Uh~

Qinglong stared for a moment, then crouched down and took off Hanabi's shoes to put them on for her.

"Ah~, so heavy!"

Hanabi exclaimed as she took a step.

"It's supposed to be heavy!"

Qinglong clapped his hands.

"Let's go! Time to train!"

As they walked out the door, the first hint of light appeared in the east.

In the dim, hazy Konoha, the group began their training.

When the sun rose, sunlight streamed in through the window onto the bed.

Naruto rolled over. The sunlight hit his face, and he stretched before getting out of bed.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"Huh! This is Qinglong's place."

He suddenly remembered.

"Ah! I forgot I promised to train with them today, ah~~."

"Naruto-kun, you're awake!"

The door opened, and Hinata entered carrying breakfast, wearing the turtle shell.

Her face was flushed, half from the heat of training, and half from the embarrassment of wearing the turtle shell in front of people.

Under the strange looks and whispers of the villagers, a girl running with a turtle shell on her back was quite embarrassing!

Ah, Qinglong wanted to make her embarrassed, to train her to be bolder.

"Naruto, get up and eat breakfast, then we're going to the Ninja Academy!"

Qinglong shouted. If he waited for Hinata, who was shy around Naruto, to tell him to eat breakfast, it would take too long, so he might as well say it himself.

Hinata shyly and awkwardly handed the breakfast in her hands to Naruto.

"Ah! Thank you, everyone!"

Naruto clapped his hands with his chopsticks.

"I'm going to dig in!"

After breakfast, the group headed to the school.

Naruto was still feeling ashamed and apologizing for oversleeping.

"Ah~! I promised we'd train together."

"And I broke my promise, I'm truly sorry!"

"It's okay, it's because Naruto-kun trained too hard last night."
