Naruto: I Borrow from the Future

"Qingye, your attitude is way too bad!"

"Then what should we do? How about you give Hong a hug too?"

"No, that won't be necessary..."

Aoya smiled and said, "Well, anyway, a very warm welcome. I didn't expect my new teammates to be the two of you."

The team composition result is, to put it mildly, barely satisfactory.

Hyuga Hito's Byakugan can significantly improve the safety and success rate of missions.

As for the medical ninja he originally wanted, the village couldn't arrange one, but Aoya wasn't too surprised.

"I don't feel like you're welcoming me at all. It feels like I went to buy an explosive tag and got a shuriken as a bonus," Kurenai Yuhi said gruffly.

"Don't talk about yourself like that."

"???"

Kurenai Yuhi's eyes widened.

No, it sounds like you're just agreeing with what I said!

So I really was just a freebie?!

"You bastard!"

Kurenai gritted her teeth, waved her fist threateningly, and said, "I'm letting you off the hook today because you're still injured."

On the other side, Hinata Himon, expressionless, examined the bandages covering Aoya's body:

"I heard that you single-handedly defeated a special Jonin from Iwagakure. Are these injuries from that battle?"

"That's right." Qingye nodded.

"……sharp."

Hinata Hido was left with only sighs.

A special Jonin!

If you send him to fight a special Jonin, he'd be unlikely to kill him, let alone escape.

Even though he and Aoya were roughly equal in skill level back in the Ninja Academy, and Sarutobi Asuma included, everyone was far behind Kakashi.

Why did you suddenly betray the organization to chase after Kakashi?

"You seem to be badly injured?"

Kurenai carefully poked at the bandage wrapped around Aoya's shoulder: "It seems like his right leg is injured too... Luckily, he came back safely in the end."

She and Huomen became Qingye's new teammates, which means that Qingye's two previous teammates were both killed in the previous battle.

Qingye was all alone, and he was so badly injured. Nobody knows how he got back.

Aoya moved her left foot: "It's alright. Thanks to the benefits of wartime, injuries sustained during missions can be treated by medical ninjas without costing me anything. Apart from a broken arm, I'm almost fully recovered now."

"...You call this welfare?"

Kurenai couldn't help but complain.

Qingye smiled and said, "Compared to normal times, it is."

In peacetime, hiring a medical ninja requires paying out of pocket; only during wartime is the village settling the payment.

Because of this, Qingye has been fighting to the death for the past two and a half years, as long as he doesn't die!

After all, as long as there are medical ninjas around, they can basically save you as long as you still have a breath left.

Next, Aoya led Kurenai Yuhi and Hinata Himon to settle down, and also introduced the situation on the Iwagakure battlefield.

"Although we have reinforcements today, given the number of Iwagakure ninjas, the other side will likely also have reinforcements. The balance of power between the two sides is still not optimistic."

"Therefore, we can only rely on the Kinrin Mountains on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass to station a large number of ninjas and set up traps based on the terrain to prevent the main force of Iwagakure from breaking through the defense line."

"Given the current situation, our mission for the foreseeable future will likely remain garrison duty and containment to prevent the infiltration of Iwagakure ninja."

"Of course, the mission may be more difficult than the one my team went through before, so you should be mentally prepared."

Qingye spoke slowly.

"Is the difficulty going to be increased?"

Kurenai Yuhi and Hinata Himon exchanged a glance, their expressions both rather unpleasant.

Even with Aoya's strength to single-handedly kill a Special Jonin, he would be seriously injured. With their combined Chunin strength... their future is utterly bleak!

"So, over the next few days, I need to give you two special training. The goal is to ensure you won't be instantly killed when facing a Jonin."

Incidentally, it also helps Aoya with his own training, helping him adapt to the perception of the three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Huh? But Aoya, your injuries aren't fully healed yet?" Kurenai asked in surprise.

"It's almost done."

Qingye stomped his right foot on the ground and stretched his shoulders as he did so: "Let's have a simple spar today to get to know each other's strength."

Hyuga Himon: "Even if you're healed, you should rest for a few days, right? Besides, your left arm is still completely unusable."

They still have casts on!

How can we give them special training in this situation?

"That's enough!"

Qingye didn't care and walked straight to the training ground: "But what you said is right, so I will try to avoid strenuous physical activity."

"...What do you mean?"

Hyuga Hido was somewhat unconvinced.

Qingye is underestimating them a bit, isn't he?

Did you think you could easily defeat him and Red together with one hand?!

Qingye smiled but didn't answer, only reminding him, "Friendly reminder, don't underestimate your opponent."

This made Kurenai Yuhi somewhat unhappy as well.

The three arrived at the training ground specially designated inside the Konoha camp.

The area is densely wooded with undulating terrain, mirroring the landscape of the front lines.

As Qingye gave the signal to begin, Yuhi Kurenai leaped into the air and disappeared from sight.

Hinata Himon suddenly activated his Byakugan, making no attempt to hide it, and immediately assumed the Gentle Fist stance, bringing his right hand together and thrusting the tip of his palm towards Aoya.

"The speed is acceptable."

Qingye stood still, casually deflecting the palm strike, and at the same time activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Your Sharingan already has three tomoe?!"

Hyuga Himon's expression changed drastically. He stared blankly at those scarlet eyes for a moment before snapping out of it and quickly averting his gaze.

Don't make eye contact with someone with Sharingan!

"The reaction was slow, but other villages don't have many ninjas with eye techniques, so it doesn't really matter."

Qingye thought for a moment and then added, "You can look me straight in the eye during the upcoming battle, and I won't use illusions on you."

"!"

Hyuga Himon, on the other side, had veins bulging on his forehead.

That's underestimating me!

If he restricts himself so drastically right from the start, how can he possibly win? What kind of business is he?

"Gentle Fist Technique, Bagua Thirty-Two Palms!"

With a shout, palm shadows appeared in an instant, one after another striking towards Qingye without leaving any gaps.

Aoya easily deflected Hyuga Himon's double palm attacks with her right hand, her feet moving nimbly and nimbly, while she kept muttering, "Speaking of which, Himon, it's not that I look down on your Hyuga Gentle Fist, but you know, it's fast, but not fast enough."

"To be honest, pressure point strikes are indeed troublesome, but they're useless if you can't hit the person."

"You said you exhausted yourself with this whole routine, but it didn't seem to do any good."

"Your main family treasures this like a precious gem, but you can't just copy it when you're a branch family member. I don't know what you're thinking."

"You talk too much!" Hyuga Himon felt all the blood rushing to his brain.

"Do not be angry, anger will diminish your wisdom."

Blanch!

"Look at you, always in such a hurry!"
