Will Obito and Kurenai refuse? Certainly not.
Putting aside the fact that Yuhi Kurenai's father had mentioned that her teacher was an extraordinary figure, just the morning introduction of Asahi was enough to determine his exceptional status.
Although they were surprised, they weren't foolish. If the village and their families were aware, it meant that this was their best choice.
So, upon hearing Asahi's words, Kurenai hurriedly explained:
"No, Sensei, that's not what we meant."
"Yes, yes, Sensei, we're willing to accept you as our mentor. We were just a bit surprised by what you said earlier."
Obito also quickly explained, fearing that Asahi might misunderstand and they'd lose this opportunity to have a strong mentor handed to them.
After all, Asahi had mentioned accepting disciples who needed to formally become apprentices.
By saying so, it was clear that they could learn Asahi's most hidden techniques.
Obito didn't know when he could activate the Sharingan, and missing this opportunity meant delaying his path to becoming powerful, marrying his dream girl, becoming the leader of a village, and reaching the pinnacle of life.
Seeing both of them acting this way, Asahi nodded in satisfaction.
It wasn't in vain that he put in the effort earlier!
"Since that's settled, let's go." Asahi chuckled and said.
"Sure, sure."
With the matter resolved, the heavy stones in Obito and Kurenai's hearts naturally fell away.
Compared to the awkwardness from earlier, they now felt much more at ease.
"Master, since you said you're the Tazuna Clan Head, does that mean we'll also be part of the Tazuna Clan in the future?"
Following behind Asahi, Kurenai suddenly asked.
"Of course, since you're my disciples, naturally, you belong to the Tazuna Clan."
Asahi casually replied, wondering why such a simple question needed asking.
"But, my dad mentioned that the ninja world doesn't seem very peaceful lately. What if there's a conflict between Tazuna and Konoha?"
Kurenai's hands clasped together, she asked somewhat embarrassedly.
Although she knew she might be overthinking it, she shouldn't have voiced such concerns.
But she grew up in Konoha, surrounded by friends and family. In case of a real conflict, it would be challenging for her.
Girls, no matter how skilled as ninjas, often tend to think a lot, especially when they're young.
Asahi glanced down at Kurenai. This little girl was quite mature for her age, thinking so far ahead.
"You're overthinking. You are yourselves, and Tazuna is Tazuna."
"Every member of Tazuna has their own choices, whether it's Konoha or other Village. Your choices represent only yourselves, and the clan always maintains neutrality."
"Maybe, after you step onto the battlefield, you might encounter fellow clan members."
"However, if such a situation arises, I have one request."
"Even though your positions may differ, if you become enemies, no killing."
"Moreover, if there's no conflict of interest, try to help each other."
Asahi didn't stop walking, explaining to the two as they moved.
"Oh, I see."
Kurenai nodded. With that clarification, her last concern vanished.
Obito, after hearing Asahi's words, suddenly became quite interested in the current situation of Tazuna Clan.
After all, from Asahi's words, it was evident that he had other disciples.
"Master, where exactly is the location of Tazuna Clan, how many people are there, and are there many strong individuals?"
Obito asked eagerly, looking up at Asahi with anticipation.
This time, Asahi stopped walking.
Although Tazuna Clan is prestigious, the current situation is not that impressive.
However, misleading children like this might foster a bad trend, right?
"Cough cough~ Well, in this vast world, any place could be the location of Tazuna Clan."
"As for the number of people, including you two, there are currently seven."
In the end, Asahi chose not to continue using his misleading technique and instead gently informed the two of the actual situation.
"Ah?!" Obito was a bit confused. How is this different from what he imagined?
"But, my other disciples are not weak. The weakest among them is already a Jōnin."
Asahi rubbed his chin. Honestly, he missed Yahiko, Nagato and Konan quite a bit.
It's been almost a year since he last saw them. He wondered how strong they are now.
Did they slow down in strength growth because they lacked his beloved education?
Well, it seems that if he has time, he should go check on them. And also, assess their progress in practicing the complete version of the Tazuna Clan techniques.
"Jōnin!!"
Obito and Kurenai were surprised to hear Asahi's words.
Originally, from Asahi's earlier words, they thought Tazuna Clan, apart from Asahi, might only have a few other members.
Little did they know, they were the newcomers amidst a group of powerful individuals.
Who knows how long it will take to train to become a Jōnin?
"Well, Master, how strong are you? Can you compare to the Sannin?"
Obito's eyes gleamed, anticipating a positive response from Asahi.
"Sannin? I should be stronger than them! Haha, you little ones, focus your thoughts on training."
"In the future, you will realize that the road ahead is long. Moreover, the further you go, the more exciting the scenery becomes."
"Being a Jōnin is just a starting point."
Asahi laughed and spoke to the two, giving only a vague answer without revealing his true strength.
After speaking, Asahi accelerated and walked towards the distance.
However, despite this, Asahi's answer still excited Obito and Kurenai.
They didn't understand how much information Asahi's words contained, as becoming a Jōnin was already distant for them.
Being able to get Asahi's verbal acknowledgment that his strength might even surpass the Sannin was enough to thrill them.
The two looked at Asahi's accelerating figure and quickly hastened their steps to catch up.
When the three stopped again, they had arrived in front of a not-too-small house.
Kushina Uzumaki, with her red hair, was waiting at the door.
As Asahi's chief disciple in Konoha, Kushina felt that she must take on the responsibility of being an elder sister.
Originally, Asahi thought of making it simple and having Obito and Kurenai just become disciples.
However, Kushina insisted on bringing Obito and Kurenai to her house to become disciples.
"Hello there, two junior disciples."
As soon as she saw Asahi coming with Obito and Kurenai, Kushina immediately welcomed them.
With a smile, she greeted Obito and Kurenai, surprising the two.
"Lady Kushina is also Master's disciple?!"
