Ryosuke Becomes Team 10's Mentor Jonin

Regarding Sasuke's defection, it has been decided and cannot be changed.

Ryosuke also did not say a few good words for Sasuke because there was no need.

He has already defected, so what can he do?

Not to mention, Ryosuke's arrangement for Sasuke was to be a character who will make trouble in the world in the future.

Isn't it normal for such a character to be rebel?

On the contrary, if Sasuke hadn't defected from Konoha, what would he do if he caused trouble outside, provoked a lot of enemies, and they couldn't find Sasuke but came looking for Konoha instead?

What a hassle!

So, it's much easier to directly announce that he is a rebel.

Anyway, Sasuke will grow super fast in the next few years, so there is no need to worry about him dying outside.

Even if Ryosuke doesn't care about him, his dear brother won't ignore him.

After the meeting ended, Ryosuke yawned and went home to sleep.

But!

As soon as he came out of the Hokage building, he saw Kurenai standing not far away as if she was waiting for someone.

"Sister Kurenai, why are you here?"

Ryosuke went over to say hello.

"Cab we talk for a little bit?"

Kurenai said when she saw Ryosuke coming out.

Ryosuke nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, let's talk while walking. We stop by your house for a while."

So, the two walked towards Kurenai's house together.

Kurenai suddenly asked, "Ryosuke, do you think I'm useless?"

Ryosuke answered, "Ah? Why are you saying that? Sister Kurenai, you are amazing! Your cooking is delicious. You're already a Jōnin at a young age, and you are so beautiful. How can you be useless?!"

Ryosuke looked at her, not understanding why Kurenai would ask such a question.

What stimulated her?

It can't be me, right?

Kurenai looled at Ryosuke and said, "But you are younger than me, and now you are an Elite Jōnin. Your strength is even so much stronger like a monster. Compared with you, I feel like a waste."

Ryosuke said, "Sister Kurenai, I'll take it as if you're praising me, but next time, please don't use the adjective 'monster' to praise others, it sounds weird."

Ryosuke touched his nose with a wry smile.

"However, Sister Kurenai, you don't need to compare with me. Look at Anko and Yugao. They are all similar to you. In terms of strength, they are not even as good as you."

"As you said, Sister Kurenai, my growth rate is obviously beyond what normal people can possess. If you insist on comparing me, it will only hurt your self-confidence."

Ryosuke didn't understand why Kurenai was suddenly comparing herself to him.

He doesn't compare himself with others.

If others really compared themselves with him, 99.999% of the ninjas in the world would have to commit suicide on the spot in shame.

"But I—"

Kurenai hesitated to speak.

Ryosuke looked at her and suddenly seemed to understand something.

Ryosuke said, "Sister Kurenai, what I said last time still counts."

Ryosuke suddenly held Kurenai's little hand with one hand.

He rubbed the back of her hand gently with his thumb.

Kurenai instantly blushed and the base of her ears turned red.

She lowered her head, and dared not speak.

The two walked in silence, and soon came to the door of Kurenai's house.

Kurenai softly said, "I... I'm here."

"Do you mind if I come in and sit for a while?"

As Ryosuke spoke, he pulled Kurenai into the house.

Kurenai raised her head and looked at the back of Ryosuke in front of her, but she didn't refuse, so she was dragged into the room by him.

Ryosuke asked, "Sister Kurenai, are you sleepy?"

Kurenai answered, "A little bit."

Ryosuke said, "Then why don't we do something to lift our spirits?"

Kurenai: "..."

After entering the room and sitting for a while, Ryosuke held Kurenai's hand and looked down at her.

Kurenai lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to look at him.

To be honest, Kurenai had taken the initiative to find Ryosuke tonight, and she was also mentally prepared.

But when things came to this, she hesitated again.

But!

At this time, it is usually the boy's turn to take the initiative.

You can't expect every girl to be like Anko, can you?

Therefore, Ryosuke, who had already seen through Kurenai's thoughts, took the initiative to hug her.

Then, he picked her up horizontally and walked towards the upstairs room.

Kurenai said, "Ryosuke, Anko, she..."

Ryosuke interrupted her, "Anko must be asleep by now."

Kurenai said, "Then Hinata and the others..."

Ryosuke continued, "They're asleep too. Sister Kurenai, we're the only ones who haven't slept tonight."

Kurenai buried her head in Ryosuke's chest and stopped talking.

That night, many people in the village suffered from insomnia.

Some people were affected by the devastating battle before.

Some people were anxious and apprehensive.

Some people couldn't fall asleep because they were too excited.

But!

Some people were too busy doing other things to sleep.

Kurenai had imagined countless times what kind of person her future husband would be.

He might be an unrivaled hero who would save her in a desperate situation.

He might be a handsome guy with super good looks, who fascinates thousands of women.

It is also possible that he might be a philandering scumbag who sweet-talkd girls to make them happy.

However!

Her future husband turned out to be the combination of all of her fantasies.

He is the hero, saving the village from danger.

He's also a handsome guy, with the best appearance in the world. No one can match him!

But he is also a playboy with a lot of girlfriends, always flirting outside.

He already has many girlfriends at a young age, and he may have many more in the future.

But…

Kurenai found that she did not regret submitting to him.

Tonight, when she watched Ryosuke and that Menma fight outside the village, she suddenly regretted it in her heart.

She regretted why she was so hesitant before.

As ninjas, they are actually people who might not see tomorrow after today.

Today's hesitation might turn into tomorrow's regret.

At that moment, Kurenai figured it out.

Actually, what does age matter?

Since Anko can ignore age and Ryosuke himself doesn't care that she's older than him.

What else does she have to worry about?

Care what other people say?

But if she forces herself to make a decision she doesn't like because of some words from others, who is she living her life for?

For those strangers?

Kurenai wants to live for herself.

That's why she stood outside the Hokage building and waited for Ryosuke to come out.

That's why she didn't reject Ryosuke at this moment, and even gradually cooperated actively.

The sun slowly started rising.

Time passed.

The street outside began to buzz with people. But it didn't affect the two people in the room.

The closed windows and the drawn curtains seemed to cut off the outside world.

After more than 9 o'clock in the morning

Kurenai gradually fell asleep. She was so tired.

Something like that happened suddenly. She was tired for five or six hours now.

She needs a good rest to recover her energy.

Today's mission of team eight has been taken over yesterday.

Even if she is not around, Hinata and the others can complete this simple D-rank mission by themselves.

After all, they have done this hundreds of times by now.

Even though Ryosuke had worked all night, he was refreshed and didn't look tired at all.

He went to the bathroom to take a shower, and came back to cover Kurenai who was already asleep with a blanket.

Then, he turned and left Kurenai's house.

Today is his first day as the leader Jōnin of Team 10, and he can't be late.

Training ground No. 2

The three members of team 10 had arrived here ahead of schedule.

"Shikamaru, do you know who our new teacher is?"

Ino asked Shikamaru beside her while yawning.

She didn't sleep well last night.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she would see the scene of Ryosuke and Menma fighting.

The power that could destroy the world made Ino unable to fall asleep.

She fell asleep in a daze, and she didn't know what time it was when she had fallen asleep.

Then, she was woken up by the alarm clock she had set.

So, she actually only slept for four or five hours last night and even woke up in the middle.

No wonder she's sleepy now.

Shikamaru answered, "I don't know, but it must be some Jōnin from the village."

Shikamaru also looked sleepy. But he looks like this almost every day.

Beside him, Chōji was still eating his breakfast.

His breakfast is very long.

In other words, he actually eats all day?

The people in Akimichi clan seem to be similar.

For their clan's secret technique, they need to do this.

Otherwise, after one use of the secret technique, they would becomr skinny.

It would be bad if he killed himself directly at that time.

Therefore, all the ninjas in Akimichi clan are fat.

But occasionally, after they use the secret technique, they become skinny.

But that usually only lasts for a while. Soon, they become fat again.

Ino asked, "Chōji, is your onigiri delicious?"

Ino rubbed her stomach and felt a little hungry.

She had just eaten a little breakfast and come here in a hurry. She was not full at all.

"Do you want one?"

Chōji graciously handed over a rice ball to Ino.

"Olay!"

Ino took it, opened a layer of wrapping paper outside, and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

It could be seen that she was really hungry.

While the three of them were sitting on the ground waiting for the new teacher, Ryosuke appeared silently on a tree behind the three of them.

"They all came quite early."

Ryosuke smiled slightly and instantly appeared in front of the three of them.

A gust of wind whipped up a dozen leaves.

Then Ino and the others saw another person in front of them.

"Ryosuke?!"

Ino stood up in surprise, quickly ran over, and threw herself on him.

"Ryosuke, why are you here?"

Ino hugged Ryosuke and asked overjoyed.

Ryosuke answered, "I am the new leader of your team ten."

Ryosuke smiled and patted Ino on the back, telling her to come down.

After all, Shikamaru and Chōji were still watching.

But Ino has long been used to flirting with Ryosuke in front of her two friends, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all.

She obediently let go of Ryosuke but kept holding his hand and not letting go.

Shikamaru asked, "Ryosuke, you said you are our new team leader?"

Shikamaru was also familiar with this scene.

He might not have been used to it at first, but after watching too much, he got used to it.

In contrast, he was more surprised that Ryosuke was their new leader Jōnin.

It's not that Ryosuke is not strong enough to lead a team.

In fact!

After last night, everyone in the village knows Ryosuke's terrifying power.

Not to mention a mentor Jōnin, even if he became an ancestor, no one would object.

But...

They were classmates who had graduated from the same year.

My classmate became my mentor Jōnin?

Shikamaru felt weird.

"Yes, is it a surprise?" Ryosuke said with a smile.

Shikamaru: "..."

The accident is quite unexpected, but it is not a surprise at all. Instead, it feels a bit awkward.

"Ryosuke, should we call you teacher from now on?"

Chōji managed to swallow what was in his mouth and asked.

Ryosuke laughed and said, "Haha~! This is not necessary. You can just call me by my name."

As expected of Chōji, he is really straightforward.

Hearing that Ryosuke said there was no need to call him teacher, Shikamaru was secretly relieved.

To be honest, he was a little speechless.

Ino asked, "Ryosuke, are you really our mentor Jōnin?"

Ino looked happy.

Ryosuke has become the leader of team ten.

Doesn't that mean they can be together every day from now on?

Don't be too happy, Ino!
