In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

So, Kiba Inuzuka, who had just left the school and was lagging behind, still made sure to greet the two people walking ahead first.

"Natsuki, Hinata. Hehe, we're teammates from now on."

"Don't worry, I'm very strong, and I definitely won't hold you back."

"Is that right, Akamaru?"

"Woof!!!"

A cheerful voice came from behind them, causing Natsuki and Hinata to stop and turn around.

"Please take care of me in the future."

Kiba Inuzuka has a bright smile and is a sunny boy.

pity.

Hinata stared at Kiba Inuzuka with a puzzled look and asked, "What's your name?"

Click!

It sounded like something shattering.

Kiba Inuzuka couldn't help but take several steps back, the question "What's your name?" echoing in his mind.

Six years have passed. We've been classmates for six years, and I still can't remember my own name.

Am I really that insignificant?

Kiba Inuzuka reminisced about his time at the ninja academy, saying, "Ugh, classes were so annoying."

Therefore, he was also one of the kings of skipping class, often skipping class with Shikamaru, Choji, and Naruto.

The rest of the time I slept, but that was because I was practicing diligently after class, which made me sleepy.

Surely not, ┭┮﹏┭┮ Waaah~~

"Woof!!!"

Akamaru seemed to sense its master's dejected mood and couldn't help but bark loudly.

"Um, his name is Kiba Inuzuka."

"He's a genius of the Inuzuka clan."

Fortunately, Natsuki came to Hinata's rescue in time and praised Kiba Inuzuka, easing the awkward situation.

"Ah, Kiba Inuzuka, nice to meet you."

Hinata blushed, realizing that her actions just now might have been a bit hurtful.

But it's really not her fault. If she didn't know, she just didn't know. After all, she had focused almost all her attention on Xia Mu for the past six years.

Besides, fighting off those swarms of unwanted suitors is already exhausting enough.

However, it's not too late to realize this now.

Hinata apologized to Kiba Inuzuka again, her eyes even welling up with tears from her anxiety.

"Uh, oh, it's...it's okay~~".

Kiba Inuzuka waved his hands repeatedly. He realized that making such a cute and harmless girl cry was entirely his fault.

Didn't you see? Even Akamaru stopped barking, lowered his head, and started wagging his tail.

This is such an ungrateful lapdog; I'll definitely have to give it more training when I get home.

"Alright, let's go, or we won't be able to catch up with the teacher."

Natsuki reminded Hinata and pulled her along to chase after Kurenai, who was gradually disappearing into the distance.

When dealing with official business, Xia Mu, being a man, still didn't like to constantly mention his sister.

Just call me teacher.

"Hi!!!"

……

The three followed Kurenai out of the school and arrived at a sparsely populated open space in the village, surrounded by lush trees, with several wooden stakes on one side, covered with dense scratches.

This is Konoha's No. 8 training ground.

"This is it!"

"Since it's our first meeting, let's start with self-introductions so the teacher can get to know you. Just briefly mention your hobbies, dreams, and so on..."

With one hand on her hip, Kurenai Yuhi smiled warmly on her beautiful face, like a kind older sister next door.

"Then, let's start with me."

"My name is Kurenai Yuhi, and I will be your Jonin instructor from now on. You can call me Kurenai-sensei or Kurenai-neechan, it's fine. I am skilled in genjutsu, I like to drink shochu and wasabi octopus at night, and I hate eating cake. My dream is to become the greatest genjutsu master and drink all the fine wines in the world."

Life is fleeting, and glory is but an illusion. Only fine wine can prolong the beautiful moments and intoxicate the heart.

"If you have any fine wines at home, you can bring them over on weekdays so the teacher can help you appreciate them..."

This unreliable older sister.

The beginning was fine, but the more Xia Mu listened, the more exasperated he became. He quickly stopped her, saying, "Hey, that's enough. You've only just become a teacher, and you're already openly asking for favors."

"Hmph!" Seeing that his younger brother had seen through his intentions, he couldn't help but snort coldly, deliberately putting on a serious face, and adding:

"Oh, right, another hobby is hitting my younger brother. I hit him when I'm in a bad mood, I hit him on rainy days, and even when the sun shines after the rain, I still hit him when I'm happy..."

Anyway, the members of these large families all know the identities of the siblings, so there's no need to hide it. Besides, Hinata has visited their home several times and they're already familiar with each other.

As expected, Hinata covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.

"Um, so Natsuki-kun had a bad childhood all along."

Kiba Inuzuka, who is similarly straightforward to Naruto, believed it to be true.

Because he was also very naughty when he was a child, he was often double-teamed by his mother and older sister, Hana Inuzuka, and others.

At least there was some reason and evidence, but this teacher beat people indiscriminately. Beneath his approachable appearance, he actually harbored an unreasonable heart.

I need to be more careful from now on.

"Alright, it's your turn." Kurenai Yuhi's gaze fell upon them.

This startled Kiba Inuzuka, who was immersed in his fantasy world.

He quickly and loudly introduced himself: "My name is Kiba Inuzuka. I have a keen sense of smell and am skilled at tracking enemies. Once I've set my sights on prey, it will never escape my clutches. I like to eat beef jerky and cartilage, and I hate anything that doesn't have a good chew. My dream is to become Hokage."

"By the way, my hobby is taking walks with Akamaru."

"Woof!!!" Akamaru, perched on Kiba Inuzuka's head, responded with a shout to the sky.

"Very good, full of energy!"

Kurenai nodded, then turned her gaze to Hinata.

Hinata quickly stood up straight and said seriously, "...My name is Hinata Hyuga. I am good at taijutsu, and I like many things, especially since I met someone. My hobbies include pressed flowers, red bean paste, and cinnamon rolls. I hate shrimp and crab because they are really scary. My dream for the future is...to become a great cook."

For Natsuki-kun.

Towards the end, Hinata's voice was soft and gentle. Unless you listened very carefully, no one else could hear it.

She had an urge to shout out the last sentence she hadn't said.

But in the end, she didn't have that much courage. Saying those veiled words had already made her blush, and if she said any more, she would really lose consciousness if she went in.

"Ahem, this dream is really... really special."

Kurenai gave Hinata a strange look, racking her brains for a way to encourage her, and then came up with a peculiar remark.

As a ninja, your dream is truly unique.

"That concludes the self-introductions. Next..."

"Ah, ah. Red-neechan. Natsuki-kun hasn't introduced himself yet."

Hinata, disregarding her embarrassment, quickly interrupted Kurenai.

Xia Mu hasn't revealed his preferences yet, but people want to hear them.

"Oh, so Xia Mu (Haohao Zhao) hasn't started yet."

"Xia Mu, would you like to say a few words?"

Kurenai did it on purpose, hmph, who told you to embarrass your sister just now.

However, she also wanted to hear about Xia Mu's hobbies and dreams.

After all, they had known each other for so long, but she still couldn't figure out this younger brother.

He can be very mature at times, especially when it comes to forbidding her from drinking alcohol.

But sometimes he can be quite childish, often doing things that are both funny and ridiculous.

Look, another machine has arrived.

Just as I was thinking this, Xia Mu's voice came over.

"Since you're so sincere in wanting to know my preferences, then I'll mercifully tell you..."

Kurenai's eyelids twitched, and she turned to the other two classmates, asking:
