Ninja World: I'm really a support-type ninja

Akira Hatake followed Kurenai Yuhi's footsteps, then took the lead and walked ahead of her, pulling her hand and running very fast.

After they left, Minato Namikaze, wearing a green Jonin vest, appeared at the street corner. He watched the two of them walk away and then a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

"What a wonderful and happy age..."

Minato Namikaze recalled the happy times he had spent with Kushina Uzumaki at the Ninja Academy, and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

"Ming's talent is indeed outstanding; he might even have the aptitude to cultivate the Flying Thunder God Technique, but..."

Afterwards, Minato Namikaze hesitated and struggled internally.

"Let's put off bringing Ming into my team for now, but it's also time to find an opportunity to pass on my experience in learning the Body Flicker Technique to him."

Having made up his mind, Minato Namikaze vanished from the spot using a Body Flicker Technique, and no one knew where he went.

Chapter 26 Rich Lolita Kurenai Yuhi.

Childhood sweethearts are probably the softest spot in everyone's heart.

Since it is the softest, it is also the most easily injured.

Of course, there are always exceptions. The softest thing can become the happiest, depending on the two people's future encounters and how they get along.

Although Akira Hatake is not a Casanova, the maturity unique to an adult soul still gives him a composure beyond his years.

In Yuhiko's eyes, this composure was nothing short of her secret remedy for her emotions.

"Look, you have wasabi on your lips..."

Akira Hatake handed her a tissue, but seeing that she didn't take it, he could only smile helplessly and personally wipe Kurenai Yuhi's mouth.

Kurenai blinked her crimson eyes, making no attempt to conceal the emotions within them.

That's how girls are. For someone they like, every move he makes is a shining point, but for someone they don't like, any action is superfluous.

Akira Hatake didn't think he was doing anything particularly good; he was just habitually taking care of Kurenai Yuhi, just like he usually took care of Kakashi.

Of course, Kurenai Yuhi is different from Kakashi. Akira Hatake has lost his usual sharp tongue and teasing, and all he has is gentleness.

What Akira Hatake didn't know was that for Kurenai Yuhi, who was precocious at such a young age, this gentleness was like opium, making her addicted and unable to live without it.

"Okay, Hong, I know you love wasabi octopus, but we'll have to eat something else later, so let's save some room."

Seeing Kurenai Yuhi eat more than a dozen small octopuses, Akira Hatake reminded her, but the latter was clearly still not full.

"I'll have just one more, just one!"

"Then let's eat it on the street." Akira Hatake was worried that Kurenai Yuhi might change her mind, so he came up with a compromise.

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Kurenai Yuhi was taken aback. She was usually quite strict and well-mannered, and had never eaten on the street before.

"What's wrong with it?" Akira Hatake said dismissively. "We're still so young. Being so particular is just making ourselves uncomfortable. We can pay attention to it when we're older."

Akira Hatake's explanation had many flaws, but Kurenai Yuhi didn't refute it. She smiled and nodded, then took an octopus and followed Akira Hatake to the counter to pay.

"Let me do it."

Akira Hatake stopped Kurenai Yuhi from splitting the bill with him, saying, "There's no reason for a girl to pay the bill with me on a first date."

"Ok!"

Kurenai's eyes curved into crescents. She nodded her head vigorously and then reached out to grab Akira Hatake's hand. The burning heat in her palm made Akira feel as if he were sitting next to a furnace.

The two children didn't eat much, so the bill wasn't very expensive, but it was still a big expense for Akira Hatake.

Seemingly noticing that Akira Hatake's wallet wasn't very full after paying the bill, Kurenai Yuhi offered to pay the bill several times during their subsequent shopping trip, saying it was a return gift from her.

Akira Hatake naturally did not refuse; sometimes refusing a girl's kindness is just as troublesome.

As they strolled around, Akira Hatake pulled Kurenai Yuhi to a stop in front of a fruit stall.

How much is this fruit basket?

"500 taels."

"So expensive?!"

Hearing the vendor's price, Akira Hatake was dumbfounded. It was just a fruit basket, but it cost as much as a delicious barbecue meal.

"The price of fruit has always been like this, kids, please understand."

"Bought."

Kurenai Yuhi, who was standing next to Akira Hatake, took out several large bills from her small wallet and handed them over. Akira Hatake glanced at her wallet and immediately became uneasy.

That thick stack, excluding the small denominations used to make up the numbers, contained nearly 2000 taels of silver in large denominations alone.

Is Kurenai Yuhi a hidden rich woman?

Was I just showing off my limited skills by rushing to pay the bill?

Akira Hatake felt a mix of emotions, thinking that it wouldn't be so bad if he could just live off women in the future...

Kurenai Yuhi reached out and took the fruit basket from the shopkeeper, handing it to Akira Hatake, whose expression was slightly subtle.

"Akira, are you unhappy?" Kurenai noticed Akira's expression was off and thought her actions had hurt his pride. "I just... I didn't mean anything by it!"

"What do you mean?" Hatake Akira asked, puzzled. "I'm not unhappy at all; on the contrary, I'm very happy."

"Really? You didn't lie to me?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Akira scratched his head, his eyes darting around at the numbers representing money. "Kurenai, I never imagined you were so rich. I feel like I've struck gold!"

"What nonsense are you talking about..." Kurenai's cheeks flushed slightly. "What do you mean by picking it up or not... You're making it sound like nobody wants me."

"No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was... I might have to rely on you to support me from now on!"

"Forehead……"

Kurenai Yuhi was slightly stunned. She hadn't expected Akira Hatake to say such a thing. In her mind, it was hard for men to accept a woman being more assertive than them.

However, Kurenai Yuhi then felt a little smug. If Akimaru Hatake thought that way, their personalities would definitely be a perfect match.

Kurenai Yuhi is a rather strong and forthright woman. Although she has a sweet appearance, her personality is not likable, which is why Sarutobi Asuma had no rivals before Akira Hatake.

You can take Kushina Uzumaki as an example. Besides her hair color, her fiery personality is also an important reason why she is not popular among boys.

Only Minato Namikaze, the "Eternal Girl," could handle something like blood pepper sauce.

"Are you serious?" Kurenai glanced at Akira Hatake, then handed him her wallet. "This is the pocket money I've saved up over the years. Is it enough to support you?"

"That's enough, absolutely enough!" Akira Hatake hadn't expected happiness to come so suddenly; now he didn't have to worry about choosing a gift.

As for why he chose a gift, it was naturally because Akira Hatake was going to visit Minato Namikaze.

Since Akira Hatake had already mastered and could use the Body Flicker Technique skillfully, he had a legitimate reason to go to Minato Namikaze's house to ask for his Body Flicker Technique training tips, and also to strengthen their relationship.

Looking at Akira Hatake's exaggerated smile, Kurenai Yuhi felt a sweet warmth in her heart, her mind filled with Akira Hatake's perfect smile.

Soon, however, Kurenai was pulled into a not-so-strong but very warm embrace, and the unique scent of Akira Hatake kept filling her nostrils.

Overcome with excitement, Akira Hatake once again pushed the boundaries of intimacy between the two, becoming the focus of attention for passersby as he held the soft, fragrant woman in his arms.

"sorry!"

Akira Hatake quickly realized he had done something wrong, and the stares of those around him made his face burn with embarrassment.

Similarly, Kurenai Yuhi's cheeks were as red as her eyes.

However, after leaving Akira Hatake's embrace, Kurenai Yuhi felt somewhat lost and empty inside.

"No need to apologize..." A delicate voice, as soft as a mosquito's buzz, rang out, and Kurenai immediately lowered her head.

Akira Hatake didn't reply. Instead, he took Kurenai Yuhi's small hand, picked up the fruit basket, and led her to the next stall.

He's taken in Kurenai Yuhi, who's cute, mature, and a little rich girl—no one can stop him now!

Chapter 27 Future Father-in-Law, Yuhi Shinko.

Flags aren't set lightly.

Akira Hatake thought he could escape this rule, but he clearly underestimated the power of setting a flag.

"red?"

As the two were happily strolling hand in hand, a deep male voice came from behind them.

"Father……"

"Uncle... Uncle..."

Akira Hatake was devastated, and Kurenai Yuhi was probably the same. Kurenai Yuhi's arrival was quite abrupt and untimely.

"It's Akira." Yuhi Makoto's face was serious, with no other expression. "I heard you got first place in this exam?"

"Yes, Uncle." Akira Hatake nodded somewhat awkwardly.

"You've made great progress; you've finally given Sakumo some credit." Yuhi Shinku walked between the two, looking down at Hatake Akira. "But you can't relax just because you did well on this exam. At your age, you still need to focus on building a solid foundation."

"Thank you for reminding me, Uncle. I will."

Akira Hatake gave a wry smile; how could he not understand the subtext in Shinku Yuhi's words?

This may be the natural pressure that a future father-in-law can exert on his son-in-law. The eloquent Akira Hatake was rendered speechless, unable to utter many of his rebuttals.

"Then good luck, and it's getting late, I'll take the red one home."

With just three short sentences, Yuhi Makoto announced the end of their date, which made Hatake Akira even more bitter.

He really couldn't utter a single word of objection.

“It is indeed getting late.” Akira Hatake nodded, then waved. “Well… goodbye, Uncle, and see you tomorrow, Hong…”

"Yes! Tomorrow..."

"No need. Although there will be a holiday after the exam, I have already arranged a lot of training for Hong. She probably won't have time."

Kurenai interrupted Kurenai, her gaze towards Akira Hatake somewhat unfriendly, "Akira, hard work can't just be talk; you have to actually do it and train."

"Understood, Uncle."

Akira Hatake gave a wry smile, cast a helpless look at Kurenai Yuhi, and then turned and left.

"Stop looking, that kid's already gone!"
