"Hmph!"
Seeing him like that, Kurenai Yuhi snorted.
As if I'd believe you!
"Oh, right. I brought you both gifts."
"Hinata, this one's yours."
"Kurenai, this one's yours."
Naruto Uzumaki brought two beautifully wrapped gift boxes out of his room.
"Naruto-kun, thank you."
Hinata Hyuga lowered her head and smiled softly.
A faint smile appeared on Kurenai Yuhi's face too.
At least the brat has a conscience. I didn't let him take advantage of me for nothing.
"Kid, you've only just become a ninja. Don't go wasting your money."
Looking at the beautifully wrapped boxes, Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help warning him.
She had a fair idea of what Naruto had been through.
He'd been an orphan since childhood, and the village had even pocketed his parents' inheritance.
There had been a time when he'd struggled just to eat.
Even if he had money now, he couldn't get into the habit of throwing it around.
"Kurenai, I can always earn more money. I don't mind spending it on you two."
"Besides, these are just local specialties and some fabric. Nothing expensive."
Naruto Uzumaki chuckled.
He had over a hundred million ryo in his account now, and that sum would only keep growing.
He couldn't spend it all.
He couldn't even come close.
"Tch."
"No wonder Hinata likes you so much."
Kurenai Yuhi rolled her eyes at Naruto Uzumaki.
That mouth of his.
He really knows what to say.
Even she couldn't help feeling better after hearing him say that.
"Kurenai!"
"Don't say things like that. Naruto has lots of good qualities."
Hinata Hyuga argued, her face red.
"Besides, you do too—"
Before Hinata Hyuga could finish, Kurenai Yuhi covered her mouth.
"Hahaha... Hinata, honestly. I tease you a little and you get upset."
What's gotten into this girl? When she panics, she'll say anything!
Naruto Uzumaki was a little bewildered as he watched the two of them tussle.
Whoa.
Are this teacher and student really that close?
Then why not have them both?
Luckily, Naruto Uzumaki didn't write that thought in his diary. Otherwise, Kurenai Yuhi might have beaten him to death on the spot.
"By the way, why did you two come over all of a sudden? No missions today?"
Naruto Uzumaki asked curiously.
"It was Kurenai—"
"Hinata insisted I come with her to see you. There was no stopping her."
Kurenai Yuhi pinched Hinata Hyuga's slightly chubby cheek, cutting her off.
"Kurenai..."
Hinata Hyuga gave Kurenai Yuhi a resentful look.
You were the one who insisted on seeing Naruto!
"Hinata, since we're free today, let me treat you both to dinner."
"Kurenai, you come too."
Naruto Uzumaki invited Kurenai Yuhi and Hinata Hyuga without giving it much thought.
This is the perfect chance to get closer to both teacher and student.
"Sure. I want barbecue!"
Kurenai Yuhi agreed at once.
Naruto controlled Gato, after all, so he wasn't short of money. Kurenai Yuhi had no qualms about letting him treat them to barbecue.
"No problem."
"Naruto-kun... maybe not barbecue."
"Could we have ramen instead?"
Hinata Hyuga suggested timidly.
Barbecue is so expensive...
Thinking of how much she could eat, Hinata already felt bad for Naruto.
"Hinata, how nutritious is ramen?"
"You're still growing. You need to eat plenty and eat well."
"That's how you'll grow into a broad-minded woman."
Naruto Uzumaki spoke with a straight face.
Shameless!
At his words, Kurenai Yuhi and Hinata Hyuga both made sounds of disgust.
What a pervert.
That's all he ever thinks about.
[Hahaha... Nobody can resist my charm.] [I only got back to the village today, and my darling Hinata and Kurenai both came looking for me.] [Naruto in the Original Story never got this kind of treatment.] [Kurenai seems to like drinking. Maybe she'll get drunk tonight?] [Then I can take her home and help her bathe and change into clean clothes. That wouldn't be going too far, would it?] [Heh heh heh heh heh...]
"That bastard!"
Reading the diary, Kurenai Yuhi gritted her teeth and fought the urge to march over and beat Naruto Uzumaki senseless.
That pervert.
No wonder he offered to treat us so readily.
So that's what he's been thinking!
He's awful!
Help me bathe and change clothes?
And he calls that not going too far?
What else do you want to do?!
Hinata: Naruto Said Everything I Ate Went to My Pet Bear
"Kurenai, you really won't have a drink?"
Naruto Uzumaki asked, watching Kurenai Yuhi eat nothing but barbecue, unwilling to give up.
"Heh... No, thanks. I have a mission tomorrow."
Kurenai Yuhi shook her head, amused.
Seeing the disappointment on Naruto Uzumaki's face, she found herself suddenly in a better mood.
"Aw..."
Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help sighing at her answer.
He finally had an opportunity, but Kurenai Yuhi wouldn't drink.
How frustrating.
"Hinata, have some more barbecue."
Naruto Uzumaki piled every piece of cooked meat into Hinata Hyuga's bowl.
"Naruto, you and Kurenai should eat too."
Hinata Hyuga spoke shyly.
She'd eaten the entire last batch herself. It was embarrassing.
"I'm not hungry right now."
"I'm sure Kurenai isn't hungry either."
"Just eat."
Naruto Uzumaki said it on purpose.
"Pfft!"
Seeing Naruto Uzumaki sulk like a child, Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help laughing.
This guy.
He's a transmigrator, isn't he?
So why is he acting like a child?
Just because I didn't drink like you hoped?
Are you really sulking over that?
"Ah... I suddenly feel like a drink."
Kurenai Yuhi stretched deliberately, pretending to talk to herself.
"Kurenai, here. If you want a drink, have one."
"I'll pour it for you."
At Kurenai Yuhi's words, Naruto Uzumaki's face brightened instantly.
He picked up a glass and filled it to the brim for her.
Such a kid...
