"Beize, long time no see."
Her long, slender legs wrapped in white bandages lifted, and Kurenai Yūhi walked in front of Beize.
"It hasn't been that long. We just saw each other last week."
Beize's gaze fell on the bandages on her hands.
In his previous life, he was very curious why Kurenai Yūhi wrapped bandages around her thighs and hands.
"Beize, I want to ask you for a favor."
A smile appeared on Kurenai Yūhi's fair face as she spoke.
Beize was a little surprised.
Although Kurenai Yūhi was a Chunin just like him, there was still a gap between Chunin.
Because she possessed family-taught ninjutsu.
Her father was Yūhi Shinku, a rare Genjutsu Jonin in Konoha.
If Kurenai Yūhi was at the peak of Chunin, a "half-step Jonin," then Beize was at the beginner stage of Chunin.
"I recently became a private tutor."
Kurenai Yūhi said in a troubled tone, "But this student is very disobedient, so I wanted to get some advice from you."
Beize fell into thought upon hearing this.
'In the original story, Kurenai Yūhi was the team leader for Hyuuga Hinata, Aburame Shino, and Inuzuka Kiba.'
'But she had another student, named Kurama Yakumo.'
'She possessed a special Genjutsu Kekkei Genkai that could turn illusions into reality.'
'Genjutsu belongs to Yin Release, and her Yin Release power was too strong, which caused her body to frequently have problems.'
'For safety reasons, her parents didn't let her study at the Ninja Academy, hiring Kurenai Yūhi as a private tutor instead.'
'But she was obsessed with becoming a ninja.'
'After being rejected time and time again, a Yin Release monster named Ido was born in her heart, and she killed her parents while out of control.'
'The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, sensed the danger from Kurama Yakumo and ordered Kurenai Yūhi to kill the monster inside her body.'
"You've been rated the best teacher at the Ninja Academy for three consecutive years."
Kurenai Yūhi clapped her hands, leaned forward slightly, and said, "Please, old classmate!"
Just as Beize was about to speak, a blue light screen appeared before his eyes.
[Current Mission: Help classmate Kurama Yakumo return to the Ninja Academy.]
[Mission Reward: Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death.]
[Accept?]
Beize raised an eyebrow. 'This can actually trigger a mission?'
'But more missions aren't a burden.' He chose to accept.
"No problem."
Beize agreed. "I'm quite confident in teaching students."
"Thanks, with your help, I'm much more relieved."
Kurenai Yūhi patted her chest and said.
"Come find me tomorrow after school."
Beize thought for a moment and said, "I'll share some teaching experience with you then."
"Mhm."
Kurenai Yūhi nodded, smiled heartily, and said, "I'll treat you to drinks tomorrow night."
"Alright."
Beize said without hesitation, "We won't go home until we're drunk."
"Ever since we were kids, you've never out-drunk me. I'm sure I'll be the one taking you home again."
Kurenai Yūhi said with a smug look.
"The past is the past, now is now."
Beize said stubbornly.
"Then I'll look forward to your performance."
Kurenai Yūhi reached out and punched him lightly. "Gotta go. See you tomorrow."
Beize watched her walk away and couldn't help but shake his head.
He and Kurenai Yūhi were basically childhood friends. They were in the same class at age six and had known each other for fifteen years now.
Besides her, his classmates also included Hatake Kakashi, Sarutobi Asuma, Uchiha Obito, and Nohara Rin.
'But most of them died in the Third Great Ninja War. Now the grass on their graves is already tall.'
Without a doubt, Beize was a transmigrator.
He had come to Konoha after writing in the comments section of a Naruto fanfiction titled "Lurking in Konoha, Part-time Hokage": 'Have you ever been a ninja? You're just writing nonsense, making assumptions.'
Because his parents were both Konoha Chunin, he was sent to the Ninja Academy to study when he was six.
But unfortunately, his talent was mediocre.
He finally managed to graduate and become a Genin at thirteen, only to hear the news of his parents' deaths.
Beize clearly recognized the cruelty of reality.
'Shouting about bonds and friendship while charging at Uchiha Madara—that's something only a protagonist can do.'
'He was just cannon fodder among cannon fodder, so he resolutely switched careers to become a teacher.'
'Before becoming a teacher, he had also participated in the experimental medical-nin class founded by Tsunade.'
'But likewise, he had no potential as a medical-nin.'
Beize mainly taught the Will of Fire and Konoha History at the Ninja Academy.
'On the foundation of the Will of Fire, he proposed the theory that "The Hokage is the sun, and the Hokage's grace can never be repaid."'
'Precisely because of this, he was chosen as the Ninja Academy's best teacher for three consecutive years.'
'Of course, his teaching level wasn't bad either.'
Beize pondered for a moment. Instead of returning to the school, he walked toward the north side.
'With Umino Iruka handling registration, he didn't need to worry.'
"System, pull up my character panel."
Beize suddenly thought of something and recited it in his mind.
[Name: Beize.]
[Age: Six years old.]
[Ninjutsu: Clone Technique, Substitution Technique, Transformation Technique, Body Flicker Technique, Wind Style: Gale Palm, Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique.]
[Evaluation: So-called genius is merely the threshold to meet you. You are a natural-born ninja, destined to become the strongest.]
Beize rolled his eyes.
'He suspected this system was being sarcastic.'
'A twenty-one-year-old genius ninja? If word got out, it would make the Uchiha clan laugh for three days and three nights.'
'But seeing the age on the panel, he understood. The system wasn't lying; it was running its program on a bug.'
Beize thought of a saying: 'If a bug works, don't fix it.'
A training ground on the edge of Konoha.
Beize stopped and formed hand seals.
A large amount of chakra gathered in his throat. As he opened his mouth and exhaled, a large fireball five or six meters in diameter appeared.
The air distorted, and the terrifying temperature kicked up waves of heat.
Boom!
The great fireball smashed into the ground, instantly scorching it black.
"This system really isn't bad."
Beize was stunned for a moment, then revealed a satisfied smile.
'The power of a ninjutsu depends on the user's chakra and proficiency.'
Beize had seen many ninjas use the Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique, but none had his level of power.
'It was no exaggeration to say that if he had enough chakra, he wouldn't be inferior to Uchiha Madara.'
'This was the value of the system directly maxing out his proficiency.'
...
Hokage's Office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen opened a scroll.
The scroll recorded Uzumaki Naruto's experiences for the day.
When he saw that Beize had been in contact with Naruto, he couldn't help but fall into thought.
Soon, he recalled Beize's file.
An unremarkable Chunin, but one with a unique insight into the Will of Fire.
"He shouldn't know Naruto's true identity."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly.
'While others feared Naruto like a tiger, Beize was able to treat him fairly, proving that he truly practiced the Will of Fire.'
"I wonder what Naruto will learn."
Anticipation appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.
