Konoha's Hextech Ninja

The only thing that caused Yagami Yoruichi great distress was studying medicine.

However, whether from the perspective of Tsunade's student or from the perspective of strength, medical ninjutsu can bring Yagami Yoruichi stronger combat power, and learning this aspect is very necessary.

Despite the pain, Yagami Yoruichi did not give up the idea of ​​medical ninjutsu.

This is related to survival skills; you can never have too many survival skills.

Chapter 81 Yagami Yoruichi: I'm sorry, Kurenai, I can't be with you today.

"Yoruichi-kun..."

When Kurenai saw Yoruichi Yagami, she happily ran towards her.

Just as she was about to say something, Yagami Yoruichi spoke first: "Kurenai, I've accepted a mission and will be leaving the village for a few days. I won't be able to train with you for the next few days."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi was stunned, and disappointment appeared in her eyes.

The invitation that was on the tip of his tongue was swallowed back down.

"Don't be sad, it'll only be a few days, a week at most." Yagami Yoruichi pretended not to notice Kurenai's disappointment, reached out and ruffled her hair, and asked softly, "Kurenai, you seemed to have something to say just now?"

"No, I just wanted to ask if you still want to train together today. Since you have a mission, then forget it." Kurenai forced a smile, not mentioning that it was her birthday and she wanted Yoruichi Yagami to spend it with her.

"Well, I'm going now~ Be good and wait for me to come back."

As Yagami Yoruichi withdrew her hand from Kurenai Yuhi's head and turned to leave, she subtly winked at Shizune.

Kurenai Yuhi lowered her head, her face full of conflict, as she watched Yagami Yoichi walk out of the school gate.

"You jerk, you didn't even remember my birthday! Of all times to go on a mission, you had to pick today! I never want to be friends with you again!"

Kurenai muttered to herself in a voice only she could hear, not even noticing Shizune approaching her.

……

Outside the school, Kakashi Hatake caught up with Yoruichi Yagami and said, "Your girlfriend seems unhappy."

"To surprise her, we have to keep it a secret for now." Yagami Yoruichi quickened her pace and said, "Let's hurry over there, Shizune won't be able to hold out much longer."

The so-called 'mission' was obviously fake.

In order to celebrate Kurenai's birthday, Yagami Yoru had already conspired to get rid of everyone, including Sarutobi Asuma, with whom he didn't have a good relationship, and Uchiha Obito, whom he wasn't very familiar with.

Of the entire Class A, only Kurenai Yuhi was still kept in the dark.

While Kurenai was held back by Shizune, Yoruichi Yagami had to get ahead of her to make preparations.

The two ran quickly and soon arrived at the Akimichi clan's barbecue restaurant.

"Uncle Torifu." When Yagami Yoruichi saw Akimichi Torifu waiting at the shop entrance, he quickly went up to him and asked, "Uncle Torifu, is my room ready?"

Since earning a lot of money from her last mission, Yagami Yoruichi has frequently visited the Akimichi clan's barbecue restaurant to improve her meals, and most of the money she earned went into her food.

As I visited more often, I naturally got to know Akimichi Torifu.

The latter took good care of Yagami Yoruichi because of Maruboshi Kosuke.

For Kurenai's birthday celebration, Yoruichi Yagami almost didn't think twice and directly chose this location.

"Everything's ready. I'll take you to see it." Akimichi Torifu stood up with a smile and said to Yagami Yoruichi, "It's my girlfriend's birthday? She'll be so happy to see it."

"I hope so," Yagami Yoruichi replied with a smile.

Upon arriving at the reserved private room, the door opened to reveal that the entire room had been decorated like a birthday party, filled with balloons and ribbons, and the walls were covered with banners bearing various blessings.

"Let's see what's missing. I'll have someone prepare it now." Akimichi Torifu looked at Yagami Yoruichi.

"It's already very good." Yagami Yoruichi checked it over and confirmed that all the details in the private room were arranged according to her plan. She nodded with satisfaction and said to Akimichi Torifu, "Uncle Torifu, thank you for your help."

"It's nothing. Kosuke asked me to take care of you, so of course I'll take it to heart." Akimichi Torifu, with his big belly, had an extremely kind smile on his face.

But anyone who thinks he's a good-tempered, honest person would be sorely mistaken.

The Akimichi clan's kindness extends only to those they consider their 'comrades'.

When facing outsiders, this clan is Konoha's toughest iron fist!

"Kakashi, notify the others to come over as soon as possible," Yagami Yoruichi said to Hatake Kakashi.

The latter nodded, then climbed out of the window and disappeared in an instant.

"That kid, he had no choice but to climb through the window instead of using the door!" Akimichi Torifu watched Kakashi Hatake's departing figure with a huff, muttering under his breath.

But you could tell from the smile in his eyes that he wasn't really angry.

After a while, Kakashi Hatake arrived with Might Guy, Rin Nohara, and others.

Most of the students in the class had arrived, except for Shizune and Kurenai Yuhi.

"When is Hong coming?" Matt Ke asked impatiently. "I can't wait to give Hong the gift that represents youth!"

“Kai…” Yagami Yoichi thought of Might Guy’s unreliable personality and said with a black line on his face, “I warned you, you are absolutely not allowed to send me any green bodysuits!”

If Kurenai Yuhi wore that weird green bodysuit like Might Guy's, Yoruichi Yagami couldn't imagine what that would look like.

To prevent Maite Ke from actually giving such a bizarre gift, Yagami Yoru had already given him a serious warning when he informed him that they would be celebrating Kurenai Yuhi's birthday together.

"Compression clothes are great, they're breathable and dry, super stretchy, and you won't feel uncomfortable no matter how much you sweat..."

Mitek muttered to himself, then realized what was happening when he saw Yoruichi Yagami's murderous glare: "Don't worry, don't worry, the gift I gave you is definitely not a bodysuit!"

"That's good." Yagami Yoruichi breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not a bodysuit, other gifts, even if they're weird, shouldn't be too outrageous... right?

As Yagami Yoruichi was thinking, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Speaking of which," Kakashi Hatake said, looking at Yoruichi Yagami, "Is everything alright with Shizune?"

"Don't worry, the appointed time is almost here." Yagami Yoru checked the time and said to Akimichi Torifu, "Torifu-san, Kurenai should be here soon, so I'll have to trouble you."

Akimichi Torifu knew about Yagami Yoruichi's plan, nodded, and said, "I'll go wait at the door and find an excuse to invite them in."

……

On the shopping street, Kurenai was being dragged around by Shizune, but her mind was elsewhere. Yagami Yoruichi's smile kept popping into her head, making her feel uneasy.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out: "Red, why aren't you with Yoruichi today? It's rare to see you two separated."

Kurenai looked up and saw a chubby, round face. Recognizing the person, she forced a smile and said, "Yoruichi is away. She went shopping with Shizune today. Shizune, this is Uncle Akimichi Torifu from the Akimichi clan."

Kurenai introduced the two to each other, and after they exchanged greetings, Akimichi Torifu smiled and said to Kurenai, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you? It's my treat today, so please have dinner before you leave."

"Huh?" Kurenai Yuhi was taken aback.

But before she could refuse, Akimichi Torifu pushed her into the store.

The door to the private room opened, and a large number of ribbons floated into the air, revealing a familiar face to Kurenai Yuhi.

Holding a bouquet of flowers, Yagami Yoruichi stood in front of Kurenai Yuhi and smiled, saying, "Kurenai, happy birthday~!"

Chapter 82 Little Loli's Birthday Surprise

"You bastard, you tricked me!"

Kurenai excitedly threw herself into Yoruichi Yagami's arms, reaching her small hand to his waist, pinching the soft flesh on his side and squeezing it hard.

Yagami Yoruichi winced in pain, secretly thinking to herself, "Are all girls born with this skill?"

However, it feels really nice to hold the little girl in my arms like this.

"Alright, everyone's watching." Yagami Yoruichi reluctantly pushed Kurenai Yuhi out of her arms and pulled her to a seat.

At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi noticed that the whole class was present.

Thinking about how her actions had been watched by so many people, Kurenai blushed slightly, almost turning into a steam princess.

However, she wasn't as shy as Hinata Hyuga, and managed to maintain a semblance of composure. She was led by Yoruichi Yagami to sit in the main seat, and, suppressing her shyness, said to Shinso, "Thank you everyone for preparing my birthday celebration."

"Looks like you two are going to get together?" A girl who was on good terms with Kurenai Yuhi grinned mischievously and moved closer to Kurenai, whispering, "Yoruichi is very popular, you'd better keep a close eye on him."

Kurenai Yuhi, who was initially shy, immediately flew into a rage upon hearing Rin Nohara's words: "Who dares to take it from me! I'll beat them to a pulp!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Congratulations to you two, Yoruichi and Kurenai. You two are the first in our year to confirm your relationship, right?"

"When are you getting married? Be sure to invite us!"

One by one, classmates offered their blessings, joked, and many even made a fuss.

Sarutobi Asuma sat dejectedly in a corner amidst the crowd.

As Obito Uchiha listened to the blessings and teasing from the crowd, his gaze involuntarily fell upon a girl with face paint on her cheeks.

"If I could give Lin a birthday like this, she would be very happy, wouldn't she?"

Obito Uchiha was silently plotting how to recreate this scene on Rin Nohara's birthday.

He didn't notice that when Nohara Rin looked at the smile on Yuhi Akane's face, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

"That's wonderful, everyone is so happy, and Yoruichi-kun is so gentle..."

……

Akimichi Torifu, standing at the doorway, watched this harmonious scene with a smile, without interrupting.

Once the nausea subsided, she asked, "Yoruichi, shall I have someone serve the food now?"

"Thank you for your help, Uncle Torifu." Yagami Yoruichi nodded to Akimichi Torifu, then turned to Kurenai Yuhi beside him and said, "Kurenai, Uncle Torifu specially imported a batch of top-grade beef from the Land of Lightning and seafood from the Land of Water to celebrate your birthday. This opportunity is rare, so you should eat as much as you like today."

When Kurenai heard what Yoruichi Yagami said, her first reaction was not to be happy, but to look hesitant: "Isn't it too expensive? Uncle Torifu is taking such good care of us, but we can't just keep eating and drinking for free, can we?"

"Don't worry, I earned quite a bit from the mission I went on last time. Paying for a meal is no problem at all," Yagami Yoruichi said with a smile. "With the teacher helping to arrange missions, we won't be short of money anymore."

In the last mission, including the 250,000 ryo that Tsunade 'returned', after the team's distribution was completed, Yagami Yoruichi, as the team leader, took the lion's share, receiving more than 200,000 ryo by herself.

Although Yagami Yoruichi's expenses haven't been low these past few months, they've only amounted to less than half of what she was entitled to.

This dinner party was for the whole class, and with the added premium of various high-end ingredients, it was naturally very expensive.

Even after the discount, it wouldn't exceed 100,000 taels, leaving Yagami Yoruichi with plenty of money left over.

As for future expenses, we can find Tsunade to take on a few missions after celebrating Kurenai's birthday.

At this stage, Yoruichi Yagami's biggest expenses are nothing more than her daily life and training expenses, and at most, the cost of her dates with Kurenai Yuhi.

The income from a single B-level bandit suppression mission, plus any extra income, can sustain me for several months.

"Compared to this, I seem very stingy. I didn't do any of this for you on your birthday last time..." Kurenai suddenly felt a little frustrated.

Yagami Yoruichi's birthday is in March, shortly after the last bandit-suppression mission ended.

The two simply shared a deluxe meal to celebrate.

"How could that be? I think Kurenai is great." Yagami Yoruichi held Kurenai's small hand, trying to change the subject and divert her attention: "Today is your birthday, don't think too much, just celebrate happily."

It's not that Yagami Yoruichi can't do things to make girls happy, but it takes a lot of effort.

Yagami Yoruichi felt that it was much more time-consuming and laborious than delving into the study of a ninjutsu.

However, Kurenai Yuhi is not the troublesome type. Even if she is unhappy sometimes, it is easy to coax her back if you divert her attention in time.

As expected, Yagami Yoruichi only mentioned it a few times, and as the waiters brought in plates of prepared meat dishes, Kurenai Yuhi's attention was quickly diverted.

"Thank you everyone for coming to celebrate my birthday. I'm very happy today, and I hope we can always be good friends." Kurenai Yuhi gave a simple thank you speech according to etiquette. "Please have dinner first. Please forgive me if the hospitality is not good enough."

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone picked up their chopsticks and placed the marinated meats, seafood, and vegetables onto the baking tray.

It must be said that this semi-self-service model is indeed very suitable for large group meals, as it is very convenient and not too chaotic.

Yagami Yoruichi sat next to Yuhi Kurenai, intently watching the grill pan in front of them, occasionally flipping the food on the pan to check the doneness, and then placing the cooked food one by one into Yuhi Kurenai's plate.

"Your favorite octopus, try this. It's a live fish that just arrived from the Land of Water today, much fresher than frozen ones." Yagami Yoruichi picked up an octopus, skillfully cut it into small pieces with a knife, and placed it on Kurenai Yuhi's plate.

Kurenai picked up a piece, dipped it in the sauce, and popped it into her mouth. She immediately showed a surprised expression: "Delicious! Yoruichi-kun, you should try some too, it's super delicious!"

As she spoke, Kurenai picked up a piece of octopus and handed it to Yoruichi Yagami.

Without thinking twice, Yagami Yoruichi instinctively opened his mouth and bit the octopus.

Seeing Yagami Yoruichi bite the chopsticks, Kurenai Yuhi blushed slightly, as if she had thought of something.
