Konoha's Good Teacher

When Houka received the news that Hyuga Neji and Rock Lee had dueled, he immediately abandoned little Naruto and rushed to the hospital.

A hint of a scheme-succeeded smile spread across Houka's face.

In truth, all of this had long been within Houka's expectations.

Whether in his previous life or this one, pulling strings through the back door was bound to make most people dissatisfied. He had deliberately asked Jingxia Zhongzhen to look after Rock Lee. First, so Rock Lee would recognize that he had no talent for Ninjutsu; second, so Rock Lee would fall into a situation where he was "criticized," then be challenged and defeated, suffering physical and emotional wounds. Then Houka would step in, ahem, to offer him some warmth.

Ow, why did this routine feel so familiar?

But the one thing Houka had not expected was that the one challenging Rock Lee would be Hyuga Neji. Before being defeated by Naruto's Talk no Jutsu, hadn't this guy always thought highly of himself and looked down on every civilian ninja?

Why would he challenge Rock Lee?

Could it be because of him?

Houka arrived at the hospital and quickly found Rock Lee.

After the doctor's examination, Rock Lee was found to have no serious injuries. The ringing in his ears had only lasted a short while before disappearing.

After all, Hyuga Neji was still young. No matter how hard he hit, he couldn't create any miracles.

"Lord Houka!"

Seeing Houka appear, Jingxia Zhongzhen hurried over. "Why are you here? Is it because of Rock Lee?"

Houka nodded slightly, his face full of remorse. "Yes, I heard everything. Sigh, it's all my fault. If I hadn't asked you to look after him, he wouldn't have..."

"No, Lord Houka, this is all my fault. I misunderstood what you meant,"
