Konoha.
Ninja Academy.
The classroom was extremely lively as the kids talked about their future dreams or wished to be together in the same squad.
Creak...
At this moment, the door was pushed open as Iruka wearing the Konoha Chunin attire, entered the classroom as he stood in front of the stage holding a clipboard.
"Today, I feel happy seeing all of you becoming a genin of Konoha, but this is just the start of your ninja road; you need to face dangers and learn to tackle them before you become a real Shinobi."
"For that, you need the help of your friends; that's why freshly graduated genin are assigned to squads for them to work together with a leading Konoha Jonin, so, without any delay, let's move into assigning you to your squad."
Everyone listened to the words of Iruka quietly, and there was an exciting expression on the face of everyone except for some lazy people who think everything is just a drag.
Class 8
Hinata Hyuga
Inuzuka Kiba
Shino Aburama
A disappointed expression appeared on the face of Hinata, who hoped to be on the same squad as Naruto.
Class 10
Shikamaru Nara
Yamanaka Ino
Akimichi Choji
"What a drag!!"
Hearing the name of his teammates, Shikamaru, who was nearly asleep, straightened up, rubbing his head as things weren't different from his expectations.
Every Generation, Ino-Shika-Cho is a must thing, and someone as intelligent as him would naturally not be unaware of it.
Class 7
Naruto Uzumaki
Sakura Haruno
Uchiha Sasuke
Naruto, who cheered loudly after hearing Sakura's name, was immediately stunned when he heard the name of Sasuke and could only sit down depressed.
"Your assigned Jonin Instructor will soon come to pick you up."
Iruka told everyone to wait as he left the classroom.
Soon, Jonin instructors started to arrive as they took their students with them, and the number of Kids in the class continued to decrease.
"Aww, what a cute girl."
Shizune pulled the cheeks of Hinata as she was enjoying teasing her new students, and shy Hinata couldn't resist her and could only let her do whatever she wants.
"Sensei is scary."
Both Kiba and Shino looked at Shizune, teasing Hinata, and decided never to anger her.
"Don't bully her, Shizune."
Kurenai entered the room as she spotted her friend bullying the cute Hinata and couldn't help but stop her.
"Hmph, you have no right to stop me when you leave me behind."
Shizune glared at her and then at the 2 big weapons in front, increasing even now and might even rival Tsunade someday, making her angry.
She wondered whether the Hundred Seal Jutsu had such an effect also, making her more desperate to complete it soon.
Kurenai was speechless as she didn't know how to console her best friend since she had no cure for it and could only silently sympathize with her.
"Follow Me"
Kurenai arrived in front of Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji, sitting on the desk.
"So beautiful"
Stars appeared in the eyes of Ino as she looked at Kurenai with admiration.
"Female Teacher"
Shikamaru was surprised as he never expected his Instructor to be a female, but then a scared expression appeared on his face as he suddenly remembered his mom.
He hoped that Kurenai wasn't like his mom; otherwise, life would be tougher.
And Choji, well, forget him; he was still eating the potato chips without caring for the outside world.
Shikamaru and the others stood up, followed her, and left the school building.
Following her, they arrived at the third training ground of Konoha as Kurenai stopped and looked at them and introduced herself.
"My Name is Kurenai Yuhi, a Jonin of Konohagakure; my dream now is to protect my village and..."
A sad look appeared in the eyes of Kurenai, and she didn't complete her words but asked her students to introduce themselves.
The three, no two of the three, were confused by her sudden change but didn't care much and quickly introduced themselves along with their hobbies and what they wanted to be in future.
"I have read your report, but it doesn't matter; you first need to convince me; otherwise, the three of you will go back to Academy."
"Your goal is to make me step out of this circle."
Kurenai made a circle on the ground as she stood within it.
Looking at the circle she made on the ground, a smile appeared on the face of Kurenai as she seemed to remember something.
Shikamaru and others didn't notice her smile as they immediately flashed, disappearing from their place and hiding in the bushes nearby.
They knew head-on they couldn't beat her, and teamwork was required.
