I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 20 The Humble Simp, Main Quest

"Team 3, come forward. I am your instructor, a Jonin."

Not long after Iruka stepped out of the classroom, a Jonin wearing a green vest appeared at the classroom door.

"Those in Class 5, come with me."

The third team had just left when another Jonin appeared at the door.

The classroom, which was almost full of students, quickly dwindled in size.

Soon, only a dozen or so people remained in the classroom.

Unlike Kakashi Hatake, who was always late, Kurenai Yuhi didn't keep Yagyu and the others waiting.

Soon, a hot, black-haired mature woman appeared at the classroom door. She had the same red eyes as Yagyu. After scanning the classroom, her gaze fell on Yagyu, and she smiled and said, "Class 8, come out. I am your instructor, a Jonin."

Before Yagyu and his two companions could get up, another man with a large beard appeared at the classroom door, his gaze also fixed on Yagyu: "Class 10, come out."

As Kurenai Yuhi's suitor, Sarutobi Asuma apparently left the Hokage's office at the same time as Kurenai.

"We're leaving now, Sakura. Remember to come visit us during your holidays."

"Okay, goodbye."

After getting up, Yagyu and the others greeted Sakura, who was forcing a smile, before leaving the classroom.

"Red, should we introduce these kids to you?" Sarutobi Asuma asked, his ulterior motives obvious to everyone.

Nara Shikamaru, who was following behind, happened to hear this and frowned slightly.

Their mentors, the Jonin, seem a bit unreliable.

Kurenai Yuhi frowned slightly as she watched Sarutobi Asuma light a cigarette again. "No need," she said, "You've seen their relationship. Besides, Asuma, could you please not smoke in front of ladies?"

"I'm so sorry..."

Sarutobi Asuma hurriedly stubbed out his cigarette, and his humble demeanor instantly shattered his image as a Jonin in the eyes of Team 8 and Team 10.

Ino looked utterly exasperated.

Not only did I not end up in the same group as Yagyu, but their Jonin instructor is also a chain smoker!

Yagyu seemed to be deep in thought. Had their relationship not made any breakthrough yet?

If I remember correctly, when Itachi Uchiha returned to the village in the original manga, Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi were on a date in the street when they ran into Kakashi Hatake, right?

However, at that time, the Konoha Crush plan had just ended.

Could it be that their progress only reached a breakthrough after Hiruzen Sarutobi's death?

The thought of this possibility made Yagyu look at Sarutobi Asuma with a hint of disdain.

Good grief, so he was just playing the victim to pick up girls. What a pathetic simp.

"Hey...kids, what kind of look is that?"

The gazes of the Yagyu group were like needles pricking his back, causing Sarutobi Asuma, who had noticed their stares, to instantly turn red.

Ino, completely oblivious to the concept of restraint, wore a pitying expression that nearly broke Sarutobi Asuma's guard.

Only then did he realize what he had done in front of the students.

That's it, the teacher's authority has collapsed.

"Goodbye, Yagyu. Remember to visit me at the flower shop sometime."

After leaving the teaching building, Ino waved goodbye to Yagyu, and Class 8 and Class 10 also parted ways on the spot.

Kurenai Yuhi didn't take Team 8 to a training ground at the school. Instead, she led Yagyu and the others out of the Ninja Academy, away from the central streets of Konoha, to an abandoned training ground in the wilderness.

This training ground is the same as the training ground of Class 7 in the original work.

To be precise, field training grounds are almost all the same.

Arriving at a wooden stake, Kurenai Yuhi turned to face the three Yagyu and said with a smile, "We'll be spending a long time together until you're able to stand on your own. Let's introduce ourselves."

"Let me give you an example... My name is Kurenai Yuhi, you can call me Kurenai-sensei from now on. My best ninjutsu is genjutsu. My favorite foods are shochu, vodka, and wasabi octopus. My least favorite food is cake. My dream is to become a female ninja like Lady Tsunade."

After the introduction, Kurenai's gaze fell on Yagyu.

Unlike Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, and Might Guy, who are three elite Jonin, Kurenai Yuhi is a "newcomer" who was recently promoted to Jonin.

After learning that several people in their class were going to become Jonin instructors, at a gathering organized by someone, Kakashi Hatake and the others didn't take Kurenai Yuhi seriously. When they made bets on who would train the best student, they didn't include Kurenai Yuhi.

Kurenai Yuhi, though outwardly silent, was actually quite resentful of being looked down upon.

After receiving her student list from the Third Hokage, Kurenai Yuhi was most concerned not with Hinata, the young lady of the Hyuga clan, nor with Shino of the Aburame clan, but with Yagyu, the top student.

Seeing that Yagyu was in the same class as the heirs of the major ninja clans, yet surpassed them for several years and consistently held the top spot, Kurenai Yuhi placed her hopes on Yagyu.

She decided to train an outstanding student who would thoroughly humiliate Kakashi Hatake and his group in future Chunin Exams or other competitions.

Of course, Yagyu had no idea what Kurenai was thinking.

Seeing Kurenai Yuhi looking at him, Yagyu immediately introduced himself: "My name is Yagyu. I know several types of ninjutsu, but my best technique is water jutsu. I like spicy food and dislike sour and bitter things. My dream is to become an excellent ninja."

The first part is real, but the dream that follows is just Yagyu's way of fobbing off Kurenai.

Yagyu's dream is to unleash all the precious treasures and become an all-around Six Paths level powerhouse.

This is the goal that Yagyu set for himself after awakening the game system, which is also the main quest!

"My name is Hinata Hyuga. I am skilled in Gentle Fist and Sensory Techniques. My favorite foods are red bean paste, cinnamon rolls, and cold dishes. My least favorite foods are shrimp and crab. My dream... is to become an excellent ninja."

At this moment, Hinata also finished introducing herself.

Although the voice was very soft, the person did not lower their head or show any fear.

Hinata's dream wasn't to gain her father's approval, but thanks to the butterfly effect of Yagyu, she didn't disappoint Hiashi Hyuga.

After all, over the past few years, Hiashi Hyuga and Inoichi Yamanaka had secretly observed Yagyu and the others' training on more than one occasion.

Both Hiashi Hyuga and Inoichi Yamanaka were well aware of their daughter's true strength.

Compared to other ninja clan members, his daughter was already outstanding enough.

Under Yagyu's influence, Hinata was not as insecure as she was in the original story.

However, her dream was not actually to become an outstanding ninja.

As for what her dream is, no one knows.

After Hinata finished her introduction, Shino Aburame began to introduce herself: "My name is Shino Aburame. I am skilled in my family's secret techniques. My favorite foods are vegetable salads and winter melon. I dislike foods with strong flavors. My dream is to find new species of insects."

"Very good, I understand your expertise and interests."

Kurenai nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "However, I don't know enough about your strength yet, so I'm going to test your strength and teamwork."

"Meet here promptly at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. I'm going to conduct a survival drill with you."

"Let's disband now."

After saying that, Kurenai Yuhi vanished in a blur.
