"Thanks, Kitazawa."
Kurenai put away the scroll and said, "I will definitely study it carefully when I get back."
Want a lollipop?
Kitazawa casually opened the snack gift pack and asked.
Is it appropriate for me to eat lollipops at my age?
Kurenai couldn't help but laugh.
"It's a bit childish for kids, but just right for adults."
Kitazawa unwrapped the lollipop and brought it to her lips.
"You're still as funny as ever."
Kurenai opened her soft lips and bit down on the lollipop.
How does it taste?
Kitazawa took out a second lollipop and put it in his mouth.
"It's very sweet."
Kurenai squinted and asked, "Why do you carry snacks with you all the time?"
"A reward for the students."
Kitazawa casually explained, "That way, we can motivate them to learn."
Kurenai Yuhi thought of Yakumo Kurama.
But... it's not necessary, because she is the young lady of the Kurama clan and is not short of money or snacks.
What do you want to eat tonight?
Kurenai licked the lollipop with her pink tongue and said, "It's on me, don't be shy."
"Then let's go eat barbecue."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and then said.
"Can."
Kurenai nodded, then a look of reminiscence crossed her face. "The last time we had barbecue was during the Chunin Exams, when everyone was together."
"Everyone" refers to Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara, and Asuma Sarutobi.
Unfortunately, only a handful of them remain today.
Why are you suddenly starting to miss the past?
Kitazawa raised an eyebrow and said, "Remembering the past will make you grow old."
Are you an idiot?
Kurenai rolled her eyes at him and said, "Getting old is a topic that women should never touch."
"Feel sorry."
Kitazawa said with a smile.
He knew that Kurenai was not angry; it was just playful banter between friends.
Have you seen Kakashi recently? How is he?
As she walked, Kurenai asked.
I saw him once last month.
Kitazawa replied, "He's still the same as ever, looking lifeless."
It's no exaggeration to say that his class was filled with exceptional individuals.
Kakashi Hatake, a genius who became a Jonin at the young age of twelve.
But he was destined to be alone, losing his father, his teammates, and his teacher, and eventually became withdrawn.
Obito Uchiha, unable to hide his tears with Kamui, turned to the dark side for Rin Nohara, wanting to create a world with Rin.
He killed his own teacher, helped Itachi Uchiha destroy his own ninja clan, and later transformed into Madara Uchiha, aiming to destroy the ninja world.
Besides them, there's Might Guy, who almost ended the series with a kick, and Asuma Sarutobi, the son of the Third Hokage, among others.
"I wonder when he will be able to get out of this shadow."
Kurenai Yuhi was silent for a few seconds before speaking.
"Where is Asuma?"
Kitazawa changed the subject, asking, "Is he still in contact with you?"
"I receive a letter every few days."
Kurenai Yuhi pouted.
Kitazawa keenly sensed a hint of impatience.
In the original work, Sarutobi Asuma pursued Kurenai Yuhi relentlessly, and finally won her heart before the Fourth Shinobi World War.
But about ten years have passed since then, so they are still not together.
"He's quite persistent."
Kitazawa smiled and said, "Even in the metropolis of the Land of Fire, I haven't forgotten you."
Because of his rebellious nature, Sarutobi Asuma went to the Land of Fire to become a Guardian Ninja after the Third Shinobi World War.
Guardian ninjas are those who protect the daimyo of the Land of Fire.
Although the original work doesn't specify when he returned to the village, it was most likely the year Naruto and his friends graduated.
After returning to the village, he became the mentor of Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, and Yamanaka Ino.
"Forget about that, how many drinks are you planning to have tonight?"
Kurenai crossed her arms, stretched out her fair arms, and asked.
"I'd risk my life to be with this beautiful woman."
Kitazawa looked at her graceful figure and couldn't help but smile.
He had no feelings for Kurenai before, not because he was a warrior of pure love, but because he was too weak and only thought about saving his life.
But now that he has the system, he no longer needs to worry about his strength.
He is a kind-hearted man who cannot bear to see his wife, now a widow, in her twilight years.
Cough cough.
Currently, the relationship between Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai is limited to that of a pursuer and the pursued, and cannot be considered particularly close.
He was just competing fairly.
"Really?"
Kurenai Yuhi said with a smile, "It's not too late for you to back out now."
"Then please be kind with your words."
Kitazawa replied readily.
"I'll let you off this time, since you helped me."
Kurenai Yuhi waved her hand and said generously.
As they spoke, the two walked into the barbecue restaurant.
"Try my cooking today."
After Kitazawa sat down, he took the initiative to grill the meat.
"I've always had a question I wanted to ask you."
Kurenai picked up the sake bottle, poured two cups of sake, and asked, "Why did you want to become a teacher?"
In the ninja world, the most respected profession is naturally that of a ninja, especially the strongest among them.
Being a ninja academy teacher is not a particularly honorable position.
In the minds of many ninjas, only mediocre Chunin would become ninja academy teachers.
"It's out of interest."
Kitazawa said casually.
Is that so?
Kurenai nodded and said, "But you are indeed very suitable to be a teacher."
"Have you been working as a tutor all this time?"
Kitazawa flipped the pork belly over, and a delicious aroma filled the air.
"Um."
Kurenai paused for a moment and said, "But we still have to do the tasks assigned to the village."
Apart from the teachers at the Ninja Academy, all ninjas have to do missions regularly.
Of course, the Konoha leadership has the right to make their own choices.
For example, Tsunade.
After developing hemophobia, he wandered the ninja world and gambled, and even kidnapped Shizune.
But she neither returned to the village nor did she complete any missions, leaving Konoha Village helpless against her.
Jiraiya was similar to her.
Come see me whenever you have time.
Kitazawa chuckled, thinking of Kurama Yakumo's mission, and said, "I can also help you teach that student."
According to the original story, Kurenai Yuhi spent several years before finally resolving Yakumo Kurama's problem with the help of Naruto Uzumaki and others.
"That will be troublesome, Kitazawa."
Kurenai did not refuse.
"It's settled then. Come to me if you encounter any problems."
Kitazawa raised his glass and said.
Whether we can complete the mission depends on this wave.
Kurenai Yuhi paused for a moment, looking at his sincere expression, a strange feeling flashed through her heart.
She felt that Kitazawa's attitude towards her was somewhat different today.
Could it be...? Kurenai quickly dismissed this misconception.
Because this doesn't match her impression of Kitazawa.
In her opinion, Kitazawa was gentle to everyone, but given his appearance, the fact that he didn't have a girlfriend meant that he had no interest in her at all.
"cheers!"
Kurenai picked up her wine glass, clinked it against hers, and then drank it all in one gulp.
