Orochimaru spoke in a very gentle tone. Before becoming a rebel ninja, he always raised this disciple as a daughter.
"Ehh~ Living together?"
Anko looked at Yuri in front of her, even she didn't know where her thoughts went. She was obviously panicked and her eyes began to wander.
"No?" Orochimaru felt a little disappointed.
"Well..." Anko looked at Yuri, then quickly looked away.
"Well... It's not impossible."
"Then Yuri will take care of you from now on."
Having achieved his goal, Orochimaru never stopped. He just patted Yuri on the shoulder and went back to his lab to prepare to continue with his experiments.
He's already done what he's supposed to do, now the next step is to see how Yuri will form bonds with other people.
When the door closed, only Yuri and Anko remained in the room.
Naruto people usually marry early, mature early, and fall in love early.
That's why it's not so uncommon to have nymphomaniac girls like Sakura at a very young age.
Suddenly, being alone with a boy she had just met in this relatively private space, even Anko, who had a very tomboyish personality, was a little unsure of what to do.
Yuri, who realized exactly what was going on in her head, thought for a moment, took out the wallet that Orochimaru gave him and said:
"You'd like to buy pajamas or something with me, and I'll give you dangos."
"Do you also have sweet bean soup?"
"Yes."
"So what are you waiting for? Let's hurry!"
Before Yuri could react, Anko was already holding his hand and running towards the shopping street.
......
......
Next day
Ninja Academy
"Yuri Winters, Orochimaru-sama's new disciple, please take care of me."
(I think I've gotten used to these Japanese formalities...)
After introducing himself, Yuri looked at the whole class.
Kurenai Yuhi, Kakashi Hatake, Maito Gai, Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara...
(There are so many people who are going to be important to the future plot here...)
Yuri's eyes rested vaguely on Gai and Kakashi.
Although Obito is very powerful in the later stage and can easily be considered one of the most powerful, these two guys are currently the most beneficial to him.
With Gai he can obtain the Eight Gates technique, while Kakashi can be a good toolman.
[A/N: As strange as it may seem, the term 'Tool Man' actually exists, it usually refers to someone who is extremely versatile and is able to multitask and fit into various situations]
Yuri was mentally calculating how to contact these two. At the same time, she did not forget to show a cold expression and ignore the girls' words.
Personally, he wasn't at all interested in getting too involved with the other kids here, other than those who would be somehow important in the future.
However, Yuri did not expect that this behavior would do the opposite of what he expected.
From Kakashi Hatake to Sasuke Uchiha in the future, this kind of cold and handsome boy is very popular among these precocious girls.
Amidst the whispers of many girls, he sat next to Anko and Yuhi Kurenai.
"Yuri, you're so popular..."
Anko, who had become acquainted with him after just a few meals, teased Yuri and pointed to her friend next to her.
"This is Kurenai Yuhi, my best friend."
"Yuri-kun, please take care of me." Kurenai looked at him curiously.
"Please take care of me too. You can call me Yuri, the honorific. Anko usually calls me that."
Yuri's tone was quite gentle, which was in stark contrast to the cold demeanor she had when she was introduced before. That approachable look made Kurenai a little flattered.
[A/N: I can hear I'm not being pursued by the FBI]
Being cold to others and affectionate to them means that they are very special.
As an instigator, Yuri had no other intentions. He simply felt that it would be a shame not to have a good relationship with Kurenai, who would be so beautiful in the future.
---------
Yuri was in no hurry to meet the future 'celebrities' of his class, but he calmly and even somewhat discreetly participated in the training to understand the basic knowledge and practices of the ninja world.
The class gradually got used to having a handsome guy who was even colder than Kakashi.
However, everyone knew that Yuri's coldness was towards the rest of them. On the contrary, when she was with Anko and Kurenai, the three of them talked and laughed, and seemed quite intimate.
In addition, many people in the class saw the three of them shopping and eating together frequently.
As time went on, the kids at the ninja academy started talking about it, and most of them believed that Yuri and Kurenai must be dating, as for Anko? Well, for them, she didn't even have the possibility to compete with Kurenai.
As for the reason...
Naturally, it's because most of them think Anko is a very "cool (wild) and smart (barbaric)" girl.
She has a bit of a tomboy temperament and is a bit sadistic with other boys.
Although in terms of looks, these two are in the same league. However, because of her terrible personality, she was classified as "the pretty girl that no one wants to be a lover" by the boys in the class.
--------
One day after class.
This time, Yuri did not continue to go out with the two girls. Instead, he found a remote and quiet place to conduct training such as walking on water and climbing trees.
Because of [Sage Body], the amount of chakra in it right now is close to that of a chunin. However, the disadvantages that came with it were that he needed continuous training to control the chakra in a more refined way.
After the basic daily practice, Yuri took a balloon and started the third stage of the [Rasengan] training.
This was something he had been secretly working with since he could start using call.
This is one of the best benefits of having read and watched Naruto completely and then ending up in this world.
The first stage is rotation, as the name suggests, you can concentrate the chakra in the palm of your hand and usually rotate it in an orderly manner, but the inside is chaotic.
The second stage is about power. This time a rubber ball is used, and all you have to do is use the chakra by rotating in the palm of your hand to expand it. The second stage is several levels more difficult than the first stage. For example, the first stage is like learning a B-level ninjutsu, but the second stage is getting into the basic level of an A-level ninjutsu.
And Yuri has now reached the third stage of the practice, compressing the rotational force to the maximum limit and maintaining it.
As he carefully controlled the chakra for the third stage of the [Rasengan] training, he seemed to be waiting for someone. Finally, after the fifth water balloon popped, a figure wearing a green spandex appeared in front of Yuri.
"A thousand and one, a thousand and two..."
He has a classic bowl cut, thick eyebrows, green spandex, and carried a huge rock on his back while jumping like a frog.
The man who relied only on his hard work to become one of the strongest in the future
Maito Gai
Although Yuri has been hanging out with Anko and Kurenai quite a bit in recent days, he has also done some research on Gai, Kakashi, and others. After learning about the place where he usually practices, he came here this time hoping to be able to find him.
At this time, Gai and her father were not popular in Konoha.
Or rather, Maito Dai, Gai's father, was derided as the 'eternal Genin' and Gai was ridiculed and alienated by his peers because he has no talent in ninjutsu and barely entered the ninja academy after taking a recovery exam.
Until the start of the Third Shinobi War, and Dai using the Eight Gates and beating the Seven Swordsmen from the mist, no one knew that ninja specializing in Taijutsu could be so powerful.
However, thanks to this, Yuri now has the opportunity and possibility to obtain the jutsu of the Eight Gates within
passed down by Dai.
Thinking about it, Yuri put the balloon away as if nothing had happened and watched Gai's training with some interest, as if he had just met by chance.
Time passed and only when Gai finished this part of the training did Yuri speak.
"Gai, I didn't expect to see you in this place. And I must say that you are really quite strong."
Yuri handed a bottle of water to Gai with a gentle smile on his face, and at the same time, unceremoniously praised him.
"I've always heard in class that you're weak, but from what I saw today, probably no one in our class would beat you in Taijutsu."
"Really?!"
This was the first time in his life that he was recognized and praised by someone. This thick-eyebrowd girl even forgot to drink water and got up in a hurry. He looked at Yuri with his bright eyes, feeling a little amazing.
"Of course, his physical training is very good. Let alone like Kakashi, I'm sure even an ordinary chunin wouldn't be as physically strong as you."
Yuri nodded firmly and looked very interested.
"In fact, I always wanted to practice physical skills. Can I train with you?"
"oh!! My blood is boiling!"
Gai, who was invited by Yuri to train, was immediately excited.
"This is the youth, Yuri, let's burn our youth together!"
............
............
A week later
Yuri staggered home and fell deftly at the entrance.
After a while, two girls in the room helped him up without any surprise, and Anko among them couldn't help but complain:
"So, Yuri, did you train with Gai again today?"
"No, I had a sparring partner with Uncle Maito Dai today... Cof~ Cof~..."
Yuri coughed violently, feeling the damage to his lungs.
He really underestimated the sorry situation of this hot-blooded father and son. He just lightly encouraged the two of them, complimented them a little, trained together, and offered them a few bowls of ramen.
As a result, these two insisted on pulling him to train insanely every day, teaching him all their experience and knowledge. Among them, Dai even treated him as his disciple.
Yuri was sure that if he didn't have a [wise body], she would have stayed in bed for at least two days.
(Damn father and son duo, if I had my powers from my world here I'd teach you a lesson!!)
-----
The sky was darkening and the last remnants of twilight light illuminated the world. The setting sun has already reached the farthest point in the west, while in the opposite direction, the bright moon hovers silently in the sky.
The waning moon in the sky, eager to pour its moonlight, and the sunset, which gradually faded over the horizon, still arrogantly tried to illuminate the world.
The night is getting darker
Yuri, who was finally able to recover with the help of [Wise Body], was lying in bed, thinking of six future plans.
Anko's cheerful voice could be heard from time to time downstairs, and the aroma of the food wafting through it made Yuri's heart relax.
The sound of footsteps climbing the stairs could be heard clearly, and Yuri immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
After a while, the door opened and a girl with curly black hair and bright ruby eyes entered her room.
"Yuri... Yuri...? Dinner is ready..."
Kurenai wasn't surprised to see that Yuri didn't respond. At this moment, she was wearing an apron and walked over to Yuri's bed, looking at him sleeping soundly with a helpless expression.
"Wow, he fell asleep again."
Kurenai, who was crouching by the bed, held her cheek with her left hand, but her eyes were turned to the sleeping Yuri.
Normally, Yuri's cold face alone would provoke arguments between the girls, but now, while he slept unprepared, he was just lying there peacefully, with locks of his hair covering part of his face, which made him look even more... Beautiful in Kurenai's eyes.
"It's really beautiful..."
Kurenai couldn't help but murmur as she recalled the time they spent together and the tenderness she felt from being with him.
In the silent room, Kurenai endured the heartbeat, silently caressing Yuri's face, her fingertips descended, and when she touched Yuri's lips, she unconsciously retracted her fingertips as if she had taken electric shock.
"Seriously, what I just did... you're such an idiot, Kurenai." She muttered to herself.
Feeling that his cheeks felt like they were on fire, Kurenai quickly patted his face hard, suppressing the shame in his heart, and pretended to be calm, pushing Yuri's body once more to wake him up.
"Yuri, Yuri, it's time for dinner! If you don't go downstairs, Anko will have all the sweet bean soup!
That said, without waiting for Yuri to wake up, Kurenai turned around and ran away.
Hearing footsteps hurriedly descending the stairs, Yuri opened his eyes and a helpless smile spread across his face.
(Please... I forgive myself, FBI...)
