Konoha's Hextech Ninja

"Same old story, nothing much except not paying." The man's tone was clearly annoyed, but he could only suppress it: "Consider it a loss to avoid further trouble. We ordinary people will always be exploited. If I have a child in the future, I'll definitely make him a ninja!"

Listening to their conversation, Yagami Yoruichi seemed to be deep in thought.

Could this young man be Tiantian's father in the future?

Buying ninja tools without paying? Exploitation? Has this touched upon the dark side of Konoha Village once again?

In this village, there are always some people who can make Yagami Yoruichi feel warmth.

However, there are also some dark aspects that Yagami Yoruichi finds very distasteful and even extremely disgusting.

This contradiction, like the great contradictions of the world itself, cannot be changed by a so-called 'savior' who defeats one or two powerful enemies.

Chapter 71 Meeting the Parents!

The matter of the ninja tool shop is none of my business.

Before she has sufficient strength, Yoruichi Yagami does not intend to get involved.

Occasionally, Yoruichi Yagami would have the thought of changing the chaotic and turbulent situation in the ninja world.

But for Yoruichi Yagami, nothing is more important than her own safety and the improvement of her strength.

As for changing Konoha, or even the ninja world, those were things that happened naturally after one's strength had reached a certain level.

After leaving the ninja tool shop, Yagami Yoru passed by a gift shop and bought a tea set, asking the shop owner to help him wrap it up and write a greeting card on it.

Carrying gifts, I arrived at Yuhi Hong's house right on time.

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the door, and a moment later, the door was pushed open.

Kurenai peeked out and, upon seeing Yoruichi Yagami, immediately beamed with delight: "Yoruichi-kun, you're here!"

"I made a promise with you, so of course I have to keep it on time." Yagami Yoruichi smiled and handed over the gift: "I heard that Uncle Shinku likes to drink tea, so I bought a tea set and brought it with me. This set of kunai is for you."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Kurenai happily accepted the gift, invited Yoruichi Yagami inside, and shouted into the house, "Dad, Yoruichi-kun is here, come out quickly!"

"Here they come, here they come." A middle-aged man walked out of the house, his eyes looking at Yagami Yoruichi with a hint of wariness and defensiveness.

It felt like watching a spiky, blond-haired guy who might kidnap his daughter at any moment.

"You must be Lady Tsunade's student, Yoruichi Yagami?" Kurenai Yuhi sized up Yoruichi Yagami a few times and said in a slightly stiff tone, "Welcome, please come in."

"Uncle Shinku, I apologize for disturbing you." Yagami Yoruichi bowed slightly, took off her shoes, and walked into the living room.

"Hey Dad, this is a gift Yoruichi brought you!" Kurenai Yuhi presented the tea set that Yoruichi Yagami had brought to Kurenai Yuhi like a treasure.

“I’ve heard about your situation.” Yuhi Makoto didn’t accept the invitation, but politely declined, saying, “It’s just a family dinner, there’s no need to go to such lengths.”

"There's no reason to take back a gift that's already been given away," Yagami Yoruichi said with a smile. "Uncle Shinku, you don't need to be so polite. I'm with my teacher, so while I don't have a lot of money, I can still cover my daily expenses."

"Dad!" Kurenai Yuhi called out to Shinku Yuhi, displeased, "How can you refuse a gift that Yoruichi-kun painstakingly chose?! That's so rude!"

Hearing Kurenai's words, Kurenai felt a pang of pain in her heart.

His own well-behaved and adorable daughter actually sided with an outsider and even scolded her old father!

At that moment, in Kurenai Yuhi's eyes, Yoruichi Yagami's face became even more repulsive.

However, he was a doting father to his daughter and couldn't bring himself to say a harsh word to her. So he reluctantly accepted the gift box, opened it, glanced at it casually, and thanked her perfunctorily, saying, "I happen to like drinking tea. Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

Yoruichi Yagami had already realized that Shinku Yuhi disliked her, and she knew the reason for this dislike.

But Yagami Yoruichi had no intention of playing the role of compromising and gaining her father-in-law's approval, and said with a hint of deeper meaning, "It was Kurenai who told me."

The implication is that my relationship with your daughter is one where I can say anything and hide nothing.

Even if you dislike me, she's still closer to me.

Before giving Kurenai a chance to lash out, Yoruichi Yagami continued, "Kurenai and I get along very well. We have compatible personalities and good teamwork. I plan to ask you, Sensei, to designate Kurenai as my future teammate."

Kurenai was already quite annoyed when she heard Yoruichi Yagami's first words.

When Yagami Yoruichi specifically mentioned how close the two were, he almost slammed his fist on the table.

But upon hearing the end, he immediately suppressed his anger.

To be Yoruichi Yagami's teammate?

Yoruichi Yagami's teacher is Tsunade!

After graduating from the Ninja Academy and joining a ninja team, there's a high chance that Tsunade will be the team leader.

If Kurenai Yuhi were to become Yoruichi Yagami's teammate, it would certainly displease Kurenai Yuhi.

But doesn't that mean Kurenai Yuhi could also become Tsunade's student?

As a typical doting father, Yuhi Shinku cares most about the development of her beloved daughter.

Having the opportunity to become Tsunade's student, even if she can't become Tsunade's official disciple, would be extremely beneficial to her future.

Compared to these benefits, the slight 'unpleasantness' brought about by Yoruichi Yagami doesn't seem entirely unbearable, does it?

Kurenai Yuhi quickly weighed the options in her mind, and her anger subsided without her even realizing it.

Kurenai Yuhi hadn't thought that far ahead. She was overjoyed to learn that she would become Yoruichi Yagami's teammate in the future. She quickly moved closer to Yoruichi and asked repeatedly, "Really? Yoruichi-kun wants to be my teammate? Won't you think I'm too weak and will hold you back?"

"Your illusion magic is the strongest among our group, how is it weak?" Yagami Yoruichi said with a smile. "We're still a long way from graduation, I haven't mentioned it to the teacher yet. But I'll talk to the teacher when graduation is closer. Don't worry, I'm confident I can get the teacher to agree."

If we bring it up now, Tsunade will most likely be unwilling.

However, there's plenty of time in the future.

Given Tsunade's personality, it would be easy to find an opportunity to make a bet and use the bet to get Tsunade to help solve this small matter.

Watching Yagami Yoruichi and Yuhi Kurenai being so close, Yuhi Kurenai felt both annoyed and happy for Yuhi Kurenai.

Even his attitude towards Yagami Yoruichi changed slightly.

Although this brat did indeed steal his daughter's heart, at least he treated Kurenai Yuhi genuinely well and truly cared about her future.

From the intensive training in taijutsu and genjutsu to the advance planning for Kurenai Yuhi's future ninja team, it's clear that Yoruichi Yagami is using her own methods to help Kurenai Yuhi grow better.

Although limited by factors such as age and perspective, there were some flaws in the execution process.

But resources like Tsunade's students are something even he couldn't provide for his own daughter.

"Kurenai." Yuhi Makoto suddenly interrupted their conversation, instructing Yuhi Kurenai, "Go check on your mother's side. See if dinner is ready. Urge her to hurry up and make sure the guests don't wait too long."

"Oh! Yoruichi-kun, wait a moment, I'll go check the kitchen and be right back!" Kurenai nodded, said to Yoruichi Yagami, and quickly ran towards the kitchen.

Kurenai Yuhi was too clueless to notice.

But Yagami Yoruichi knew that Yuhi Shinku had deliberately sent Yuhi Kurenai away because she had something to talk to her about.

“Uncle Shinku, please tell me what's wrong. I'll do my best to help.” Yagami Yoruichi said.

“Geniuses are all precocious, but you are far too precocious. No wonder you are a student valued by Lady Tsunade.”

As Kurenai looked into Yoruichi Yagami's eyes, her chakra surged, and the surrounding environment began to change rapidly.

Illusion!

Yagami Yoruichi, with a single thought, chose not to resist, allowing Yuhi Shinku to drag him into the illusion.

Chapter 72 Dating

"Huh? You're taking three days off?" Kurenai Yuhi's face fell when she heard that Yoruichi Yagami was leaving Konoha to carry out a mission outside the village. She looked sullen.

This weekend, I didn't spend much time with Yoruichi Yagami because she had to take Tsunade's test, which made her a little unhappy.

I finally got to accompany her to school and training, but then Yagami Yoruichi had to leave the village again to carry out a mission.

This naturally made the little girl very unhappy.

"This can be considered a test from the teacher. Kurenai wouldn't want me to perform too poorly and be expelled from the sect, right?" Yagami Yoruichi smiled and ruffled Kurenai Yuhi's hair, comforting her, "Anyway, I'm not leaving until tomorrow. How about I go shopping with you tonight?"

"Alright!" Although Kurenai was a little unhappy, she didn't want to disturb Yoruichi's training because of herself, so she quickly pulled Yoruichi outside and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, it's going to get dark soon."

"Yoruichi." Kurenai Yuhi escorted the two to the door, looked at Yoruichi Yagami, and reminded her, "Don't stay out too late."

Recalling their conversation in the illusion, Yagami Yoruichi smiled and promised, "Don't worry, Uncle Kurenai. I'll definitely bring Kurenai back before 10 o'clock."

"You naughty dad, you're meddling too much!" Kurenai Yuhi made a face at Shinku Yuhi in dissatisfaction and pulled Yoruichi Yagami to run outside.

"We've gone the wrong way." Yagami Yoruichi noticed the wrong direction and quickly reminded her, "We're not training today, we'll just play with you. The shopping street is on the other side."

“But…” Kurenai hesitated.

From the moment they met, Yagami Yoruichi's daily training never stopped.

Kurenai would be very happy to be able to have a good time together without having to think about training.

However, she was unwilling to let this affect Yoruichi Yagami's training.

"It's alright." Yagami Yoruichi knew what Yuhi Kurenai was thinking and said, "We have a mission tomorrow, so we can't be too tired today. It's okay to slack off once in a while. But only for today. After I come back from the mission, I will still urge you to train every day."

"Okay!" Kurenai Yuhi immediately showed a happy expression.

At this age, being able to spend time with loved ones is the greatest happiness.

Kurenai Yuhi, who was well protected from a young age, was precocious like most geniuses in the ninja world, but she still retained the innocence and joy that should be present at her age.

"I hope you can always be this innocent and happy. I hope I can become stronger soon so I can protect you..." Yagami Yoruichi said silently in her heart.

"By the way," Kurenai looked up at Yoruichi Yagami and asked, "What did you talk about with Dad earlier? You seemed all mysterious."

"I promised Uncle Shinku I wouldn't tell anyone." Yagami Yoruichi smiled and patted Kurenai Yuhi's head, saying, "Anyway, it's a good thing, so don't overthink it."

"Don't treat me like a child!" Kurenai Yuhi slapped Yoruichi Yagami's hand away in dissatisfaction, and said angrily, "You're only a few months older than me!"

"Yes, yes, Red is the best." Yagami Yoruichi replied insincerely, as if she were just trying to coax a child.

"Hmph, I'm angry! No amount of takoyaki can make me happy!" Kurenai turned her face away, deliberately making an angry face.

"Alright, one takoyaki." Yagami Yoruichi took Kurenai Yuhi's small hand and walked towards the takoyaki stall not far ahead.

The two of them joked and played around as they strolled through the commercial street, sometimes buying snacks to feed each other, and sometimes playing some of the entertainment common in Konoha Village.

Even after nine o'clock, Xi Ri Hong was still reluctant to leave, looking like she didn't want to go home.

"I promised Uncle Kurenai I'd take you home before 10 o'clock." Yagami Yoruichi looked at Kurenai Yuhi, who was staring at her pitifully, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Kurenai, you wouldn't want me to be a person who breaks his promise, would you?"
