Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

The next morning

Hinata and her two companions arrived at Training Ground No. 3 as promised.

According to what Shuimu said yesterday, their class teacher will be waiting for them to gather here.

Hinata and her two companions entered the training ground and looked around, but they couldn't find any sign of the so-called instructor.

Only one large red turtle wearing a Konoha headband remained in the center of the training field.

"That is..."

Sheren looked at the red turtle with some confusion.

Hinata stared at the familiar red turtle and paused for a moment, instinctively.

This is Might Guy's summoning turtle, its name is...

What was his name again?

"Oh, so it seems you three are graduates. Nice to meet you. My name is Raphael."

The giant red tortoise spoke human language, which Neji Toneri was not surprised by.

Hinata, on the other hand, was taken aback for a moment.

Red turtle, ninja, Raphael...

Oh, you're a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, that's alright then...

Hinata already knows who her class teacher is.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred. A burst of white smoke exploded above the body of the ninja turtle named Raphael, and a figure appeared stepping on the turtle. At the same time, a voice full of youthful energy resounded throughout the entire arena!

"Yo!"

"My lovely students!"

"I am your teacher!"

"The Blue Beast of Konoha, Might Guy!"

The man was tall and imposing, with a perfect watermelon head and a pair of thick, bushy eyebrows. Underneath his green Konoha Jonin-style vest was a youthful green jumpsuit, and he struck a rather bizarre entrance pose!

In short, this is youth!

"Um, this is..."

Neji and Toneri looked at each other in disbelief, utterly astonished by their teacher.

In their memories, Jonin should be synonymous with calmness and rationality.

And this one...

"My three lovely students, let's embrace our youth!"

"Showcasing the youthful vigor and spirit!"

"Let's pour out our passionate sweat!"

The man, full of passion, spread his arms as if to embrace the sea and the sunset, which made Toneri and Neji roll their eyes. Even Hinata, who was mentally prepared, couldn't resist.

A gust of wind swept by, carrying fallen leaves, but Hinata and the other two seemed uninterested in Guy's youthful energy.

Raphael: ...

"Kai, your youth seems to be a little too vibrant."

"It will scare the children."

Raphael, standing beneath Might Guy's feet, mercilessly berated his contractor.

"So that's how it is. My dear student hasn't grasped the true meaning of youth yet?"

"But that's alright, let me, your teacher, help you find your own youth in the days to come!"

The man named Matt Kai clenched his fists, his thick eyebrows and large eyes instantly filling with tears, as if he were making a major life decision.

"Um, is this teacher really reliable...?"

Neji, witnessing this scene, felt a profound sense of existential unease.

"It should be fine... right?"

Even the attendant couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"……no problem."

Hinata sighed, rubbing her forehead.

"I see!"

"So there are actually adorable students in the team who believe in youth?!"

"Waaaaah, I'm so touched!"

"This is our passionate youth!"

Upon hearing Hinata's words, Might Guy, with his sharp ears, was immediately moved to tears. In a flash, he appeared in front of Hinata and the other two, and embraced them tightly, weeping bitterly.

"..."

Hinata truly felt Might Guy's youth and passion.

Yeah, it's a bit cramped.

This speed... is even faster than my father's?!

Neji only felt a blur before his eyes, and Might Guy, who was still far away, had already appeared in front of him and hugged him.

"Well, whatever, I suddenly feel that Teacher Kai is pretty good."

The other person spoke with a smile.

Sherman, who had always maintained a distance from others, unexpectedly accepted Might Guy's youth and passion.

"Oh ho!"

"As expected of my student, Might Guy!"

"This truly moves me, their teacher. As a result, we've decided to run five hundred laps around Konoha handstands!"

Might Guy was deeply moved by Toneri's words. He suddenly released the three of them and made a declaration to the sun in the sky, which made Toneri and Neji feel terrible.

Not only Neji, but even Hinata couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard that Might Guy actually wanted to make her run upside down around Konoha 500 times.

"don't want!"

Hinata, Toneri, and Neji almost simultaneously rejected this outrageous request.

"Waaaaah, my lovely students have actually rejected youth and passion! It breaks my heart!"

"Looks like I'll have to take my precious students' youth with me on this journey!"

"That's decided!"

"Run two thousand laps around Konoha while doing a handstand!"

two thousand??!!

Don't go too far!

Hinata felt like she rolled her eyes more times today than she had in the past ten years combined.

"alright!"

"I'm not going to waste any more words!"

"I have reviewed all your information!"

"The self-introduction step can be completely omitted!"

"Now, let this passionate battle allow me to feel your will of fire!"

"I'm in a hurry!"

Matt Kai wiped away his tears, waved his hand, and spoke with great gusto.

"Teacher Kai, is there something urgent?"

Hearing that Matt Kai was in a hurry, Sherman asked curiously.

"Hmm, I need to run two thousand laps upside down around Konoha."

"Didn't I just say that?"

"If we don't hurry, we'll probably be running until tonight."

"This is my declaration of youth."

Matt Kai looked at Sherman with a puzzled expression.

Sheren looked awkwardly at the serious-looking man in front of him.

He was actually serious...

I wish I hadn't asked properly.

"Fight a Jonin?"

"This is an extremely challenging opportunity."

Neji closed his eyes, a hopeful smile appearing on his lips.

Hinata stared blankly at the scene before her, but for some reason she had a bad feeling.

"Hmph, this is the first time the teacher and student have met."

"If the three of you fail to touch my headband within ten minutes, then..."

Midway through his sentence, Matt Kai revealed a mysterious smile. He spun around, and three green bodysuits appeared in his hands, swaying in the wind.

"Wear this vibrant green bodysuit with me!"

"Run ten laps around Konoha with me, and celebrate the official formation of our Team Kai!"

!!!

really!

I knew it!

I would never wear that!

Hinata's face paled as she looked at the green bodysuit fluttering in Might Guy's hand.

"We absolutely cannot lose!"

Neji's expectant smile vanished instantly.

"Huh? Is that okay?"

The look of anticipation on Toneri's face as he stared at the bodysuit sent chills down Hinata's spine.

I never expected you to be like this!
