MTLNOVEL Chapter 17: Chapter 16: Beauty
Another team member was a rather burly, large fat man, a member of the Akimichi clan. His name was somewhat amusing—Akimichi Pangci—which sounded like "pants."
Like Akimichi Choji, one of the original Konoha Twelve, Akimichi Pangci also loved to eat.
From the beginning of the meeting, he hadn't stopped eating.
Because in this generation, there were no members of the Yamanaka or Nara clans, the "Ino-Shika-Cho" formation could not be formed, so he was assigned here.
After the three were placed in a class together, they briefly introduced themselves and then stopped talking.
Just as Chiya thought they would have to wait until evening, like Kakashi's original Team 7, the classroom doors were pushed open.
A beautiful woman walked in—yes, you heard that right, a beautiful woman.
With black, middle-parted curly hair, crimson pupils, a cold yet beautiful face, and a graceful figure.
At first glance, she seemed to be around twenty years old, yet she had a kind of maturity that young girls lacked.
Overall, she exuded a kind of sensual beauty, making people feel a sense of aesthetic pleasure just looking at her.
"Click, click… those eyes, that hairstyle, that figure… ahem… could it be Kurenai Yuhi?" Chiya frantically complained in his heart.
After entering the classroom, the beautiful woman glanced at the three of them, nodded slightly, walked up to the podium, and wrote three large characters on the blackboard—Kurenai Yuhi.
"My name is Kurenai Yuhi, a newly promoted Special Jonin of Konoha. My favorite foods are shochu, vodka, and mustard octopus. I dislike cake. I specialize in genjutsu. This is my first time serving as a team leader. From now on, I will be leading you on missions. From today onwards, you are my students. You may call me 'Kurenai-sensei' or 'Yuhi-sensei.'"
"Alright, now it's time for your self-introductions."
"I-I… I…" The only girl in the team, Airi Akizuki, excitedly raised her hand. "My name is Airi Akizuki. My specialty is… Kurenai-sensei, you are so… so beautiful… so pretty."
Akimichi Pangci grabbed a handful of chips, stuffed them into his mouth, and, while crunching loudly, began his introduction, "I'm Akimichi Pangci. My favorite foods are chips and barbecue. There are no foods I dislike. My specialty is the Multi-Size Technique."
When it was Fujiwara Chiya's turn, an unexpected system notification suddenly echoed in his mind.
[Ding! As the strongest lolicon of your generation, how can you let this big loli in front of you end up a widow for that short-lived Asuma Sarutobi? Choose now.]
[1. Step forward, introduce yourself, kiss Kurenai Yuhi's hand, and confess your love to her. Reward: Perfect Water Release Chakra and Nature Transformation.]
[2. Let Kurenai Yuhi be relentlessly pursued by Asuma Sarutobi. Reward: Koharu Utatane's old underwear.]
Underwear again…
And it's that old lady Koharu Utatane's…
Chiya's mouth twitched violently.
Was this a setup for social death?
Seeing that Chiya was not introducing himself, Airi Akizuki gently nudged him and softly reminded him, "Chiya-kun, it's your turn to introduce yourself."
Chiya slightly nodded and gave the answer he had already prepared in his heart, "My name is Fujiwara Chiya. My favorite food is stir-fried green peppers with eggs. I dislike cilantro and animal offal. My specialty is taijutsu."
At this point, he took a deep breath.
As if making a major decision, he stepped forward, faced Kurenai Yuhi seriously, and asked, "Kurenai-sensei, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Not at the moment." Kurenai Yuhi was stunned for a moment, her pretty face instantly turning red.
Although she was already a Special Jonin, she was still, after all, an inexperienced young woman, momentarily at a loss for words.
Hearing this, Chiya took her hand and lightly kissed it, "Then please go out with me, Kurenai-sensei."
Crack!
Airi Akizuki and Akimichi Pangci's eyes instantly widened in shock.
Even Kurenai Yuhi, who was always composed, couldn't help but panic.
For a moment, she felt as if her mind had gone completely blank.
For the first time in her life, she was confessed to face-to-face!
And it was by a kid!
Although this kid looked decent and was supposedly quite talented… Oh my, Kurenai Yuhi, what are you even thinking?
Just as Kurenai Yuhi's mind was running wild, the system notification echoed in Chiya's mind again.
[Ding! Mission complete. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Perfect Water Release Chakra and Nature Transformation.]
A slight, almost imperceptible smile curved at the corner of Chiya's lips. Playing his role to perfection, he straightened up and said with slight regret, "It seems Kurenai-sensei still thinks I'm too young. Then let's wait until I grow up before we date."
With that, Chiya stepped down from the podium under the admiring gazes of Airi Akizuki and Akimichi Pangci.
Airi Akizuki even gave him a thumbs-up, as if saying, "Chiya-kun, you're amazing—daring to flirt with the teacher!"
At that moment, Kurenai Yuhi finally came to her senses.
Realizing that she had just been teased, her face turned from white to purple and then instantly darkened.
She suddenly called out coldly, "Chiya-kun."
"Yes?" Chiya turned back, knowing full well that he had angered her.
"You just said you wanted to date your teacher, didn't you?" Kurenai Yuhi used the Body Flicker Technique, appearing behind him, and lightly stroked his cheek.
"So this is the Body Flicker Technique of a Special Jonin?" Chiya noted her movements carefully, his expression unchanged, utterly fearless. "Yes."
"Then from now on, until you officially become a Chunin, I will 'take good care' of you."
Kurenai Yuhi's face showed a dangerous smile. Then, turning her gaze toward Airi Akizuki and Akimichi Pangci, she said, "You two, come with me to the training ground. I want to assess your abilities today."
"Yes…" The two shuddered, exchanging nervous glances. Under Kurenai Yuhi's chilling aura, they followed her to the training ground.
Crossing her arms, Kurenai Yuhi spoke coldly, "I'll give you time to discuss your strategy. Then, all of you attack me together—don't hold back. Fight with the intent to kill me. And Chiya-kun… I'll 'take good care' of you."
Hearing this, Airi Akizuki and Akimichi Pangci's eyes flashed with seriousness.
Airi Akizuki turned to Chiya and said, "Chiya-kun, while I admire your persistence toward Kurenai-sensei, it seems she's really serious now. There's no way we can win against a Special Jonin."
"I'll act as bait, Pangci will use the Multi-Size Technique to attack, and you will use your taijutsu to strike when she dodges."
"Kurenai-sensei specializes in genjutsu, so taijutsu should be her weak point."
"Got it!" Chiya glanced meaningfully at Kurenai Yuhi, who was observing them from a distance. He then drew his Zanpakuto, creating a streak of white light.
In his heart, he silently chanted, "Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu."
The hypnosis ritual was complete, but Chiya had no intention of using Kyoka Suigetsu in this situation. He sheathed his sword.
"You're not using your sword?" Airi Akizuki blinked in surprise.
Chiya shook his head and deliberately raised his voice, "This isn't a life-or-death battle. What if I accidentally hurt Kurenai?"
