How Am I Supposed to Teach Him? Waiting for Answers Online

"Kurenai Yuhi-sensei, can you really handle teaching Yemu Hyuga?"

"Yeah, I heard he's incredibly strong. His talent is even greater than Kakashi-sensei's, Konoha's genius."

The other team leaders quietly sidled over to Kurenai Yuhi, their voices full of questions.

More talented than Kakashi.

Didn't that mean Yemu Hyuga's strength was at least close to a Jonin's?

Not far away, Kakashi Hatake heard their discussion.

His eyes filled with exasperation.

Sometimes, having such good hearing was a mistake.

See? He'd caught a stray without even doing anything.

Still, he did seem to have heard the name Yemu Hyuga a few times.

Kakashi Hatake looked at Sasuke Uchiha's name on his roster, considering how the two compared.

But soon, his gaze turned listless.

He looked lazy and utterly uninterested.

His concealed Sharingan had brought him plenty of advantages. But it had also drained much of his enthusiasm.

"Well, this was decided by the higher-ups. If you have any objections, you can discuss them with Lord Hokage."

Kurenai Yuhi didn't bother being pleasant to them.

She knew she might be somewhat lacking in strength.

Besides, she was a Special Jōnin who relied on genjutsu.

Naturally, she couldn't compare to the team leaders who were full-fledged Jonin.

In the original story, Kurenai Yuhi had only become a full-fledged Jonin shortly before the Chunin Ninja Exams.

Just then, however.

Yemu Hyuga's knock suddenly sounded at the door.

When Iruka saw Yemu arrive, he understood. The boy really hadn't changed.

They had known each other for six years.

Naturally, Iruka knew that Yemu Hyuga truly cared about Qingxue Uchiha.

"Yemu Hyuga, did you need something?" Iruka asked curiously.

Yemu Hyuga sensed quite a few powerful people inside the office.

He hadn't expected all the Jonin team leaders to be there.

It looked like they would officially meet their instructors that afternoon.

Still, that didn't make Yemu Hyuga hesitate. He stated his purpose directly. "Iruka-sensei, I'd like to change teams."

At those words.

Kurenai Yuhi's eyes widened in surprise.

She hadn't expected Yemu Hyuga to say something like that.

Could he think I wouldn't be able to guide him properly?

At the thought, Kurenai Yuhi felt a little dejected.

Yemu Hyuga noticed Kurenai Yuhi in the corner.

Then it clicked.

Right, Team 8's leader did seem to be Kurenai Yuhi.

"Yemu Hyuga, you can't just switch members between teams. The higher-ups decided this!"

"You can go back now."

Not far away, Asuma Sarutobi held a cigarette between his fingers as he offered that explanation.

He was Kurenai Yuhi's childhood friend. Naturally, he wouldn't stand by and let her lose face in front of everyone.

However.

Asuma Sarutobi had barely finished speaking.

A ninja wearing a cat mask appeared and handed Iruka a new roster.

Looking at the roster in his hand.

Iruka wore an awkward expression. "Ahem, it seems the higher-ups made a slight change. Team 8 now consists of Yemu Hyuga, Hinata Hyuga, and Qingxue Uchiha."

"Well, the higher-ups said there seems to have been a mix-up with the rosters. The one from earlier was an old, discarded draft," Iruka explained.

In truth, though, the roster said no such thing.

Iruka simply knew how to handle people.

???

At those words, Asuma's face filled with question marks.

He looked at the Anbu ninja with a resentful expression.

Seriously, man? I'd only just finished explaining, and you went and changed the assignments?

You're making me look like a complete dumbass here, not to mention costing me face!

Having received the answer he wanted, Yemu Hyuga left.

"What's going on?"

Might Guy really hadn't expected the team assignments to change at the last minute when they had already been settled.

"Kakashi, why is this?"

Faced with Might Guy's confusion, Kakashi Hatake replied casually, "Guy, you should know that geniuses enjoy a lot of privileges in this world."

Well, screw me! How the hell would I know? Might Guy cursed inwardly. He wasn't some genius.

It wasn't just Kakashi.

The other Jonin instructors around them were surprised as well.

Their thoughts went further.

It seemed Lord Hokage had prepared two rosters.

One of them appeared to have been prepared specifically for Yemu.

Wasn't that giving him a little too much importance?

But this only put even greater pressure on Kurenai Yuhi.

That afternoon.

Yemu Hyuga and the other two arrived at Greenfield Plain to assemble.

A breeze swept past, stirring the short grass.

A Red-Eyed Black-Haired Woman stood beneath a large tree within their view.

She was none other than Team 8's leader, Kurenai Yuhi.

"Yemu-kun, why did Kurenai Yuhi-sensei get here even earlier than us?"

Hinata Hyuga looked puzzled.

After all, they had arrived half an hour early.

Who would have thought Kurenai Yuhi would already be there when they arrived?

Yemu Hyuga spread his hands. "I have no idea either."

"Hello, everyone. My name is Kurenai Yuhi, and I'll be Team 8's leader from now on."

"I look forward to working with you."

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Yemu Hyuga, feeling a little nervous.

Is he really stronger than me?

If he is, how am I supposed to teach him?

"Uh... we look forward to working with you too."

Hinata had been a little nervous herself, but seeing that Kurenai Yuhi seemed even more nervous than she was, her own nerves instantly vanished.

Wait, which of us is supposed to be the student here?

Kurenai Yuhi was meticulous and attentive in everything she did.

So, after becoming the instructor for Yemu Hyuga and his two teammates, she thought about how she could help all three students grow.

"We can skip the names. I already know them. Let's get straight to it. I have a bell here. All of you should work together and attack me."

"First, I'll... hmm, see how strong you are."

Kurenai Yuhi sounded a little unsure as she said this.

Especially when she looked at Yemu Hyuga.

She couldn't help it. Yemu Hyuga seemed far too casual.

That easygoing composure was like someone watching an ant pass by their feet without feeling the slightest ripple of emotion.

"You two go ahead."

"Yemu-kun, aren't you coming?" Hinata Hyuga asked curiously.

"Hinata, you have a rough idea of how strong he is, right? Let's go first."

Qingxue Uchiha quickly laid out their tactics.

Simply put, Hinata would be the tank, and she would be the assassin.

The thing was, Hinata actually seemed delighted that she could help.

She had no idea Qingxue Uchiha had sold her out.

Soon.

The three of them began fighting across the plain.

Fire Release Ninjutsu, Eight Trigrams Palm, shuriken-they used it all.

Unfortunately, the two girls weren't very strong.

Kurenai Yuhi, with her Special Jōnin-level strength, could handle them easily.

After about ten minutes of fighting, Kurenai Yuhi had figured out exactly how strong the two female students were.

So she looked at Yemu Hyuga, who was leaning against the large tree, and called out, "Yemu Hyuga, you can attack now too."

"Let me see how strong you are first."

"Oh? Are you done already?"

Yemu Hyuga slowly opened his eyes. A flash of blue light streaked through his Byakugan, seeming to warp even the space around him.

That strange sight made Kurenai Yuhi's heart tremble.

Wait.

Were my eyes playing tricks on me?

Why did this student feel so overwhelmingly powerful?

Was he really still a student?
