I've never seen such a stupid person someone so embarrassed by his own trap."
Yagyū Tsuki sat on a chair with his legs crossed, then took out a strawberry-flavored lollipop. He unwrapped it slowly and placed it in his mouth, sipping lightly while deliberately wearing an air of contempt. His eyes fixed on Uzumaki Naruto in the distance, who appeared utterly confused and deeply embarrassed.
Pointing at Naruto with the lollipop, Yagyū Tsuki remarked with a faint, amused smile, "How should I put it? You seem to have a natural talent for comedy."
"When did this guy...?"
At that moment, both little Sakura and Sasuke turned their gazes toward Yagyū Tsuki simultaneously. They could hardly comprehend what had just occurred after all, Yagyū Tsuki had managed to exchange positions with Uzumaki Naruto!
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Uchiha Sasuke's lips curled into a slight smile as he murmured to himself, "Is this the strength of a Jōnin? How interesting."
The team leader appeared to possess some hidden ability, promising that the future would be exceedingly intriguing.
Uzumaki Naruto brushed chalk dust from his hair, then glared at Yagyū Tsuki's infuriatingly arrogant demeanor. Pointing angrily at him, Naruto shouted, "Damn it! You're so late, and yet you still have the nerve to be arrogant. What's so impressive about you?"
His anger was palpable; in his eyes, the team leader was even more pretentious than Sasuke.
"Sorry, sorry I was busy dealing with women's affairs last night. After all, as a competent adult, I'm never short of a few enticing 'peach blossoms,'" Yagyū Tsuki said lightly, without a hint of apology. He then added with a raised finger, "It is also worth mentioning that the older sisters who joined me for wine last night were incredibly sexy."
The truth was clear: he had been drinking until dawn on Oiran Street and then slept until the afternoon. Upon hearing this, silence fell over Team 7.
"Huh?" Haruno Sakura murmured in confusion.
Busy handling enticing women? This meant that the striking team leader had spent the previous night drinking with sexy older women on Oiran Street, which explained his tardiness today.
Uchiha Sasuke's mouth twitched in disbelief. He had assumed the team leader was late due to important Jōnin duties, but in truth, he had been drunk and had stayed up all night!
Fist clenched and eyes blazing, Uzumaki Naruto roared, "You asshole! Today is an important day, and you're late because you got drunk and hung out with older women. What's the point of that? You're just playing around!"
"Don't say that. After all, it is also a ninja's duty to socialize with women," replied Yagyū Tsuki, his tone cool and unrepentant.
Standing up, Yagyū Tsuki placed his hand on the heads of both Sasuke and little Sakura and announced casually, "Anyway, hello I'm Yagyū Tsuki. Since many annoying things have occurred, I will be your teacher for Class 7 from today."
Looking down at Uchiha Sasuke with a faint, disdainful smile, he added, "I expect you to offer more advice in the future, you annoying little brats."
"Huh."
Uchiha Sasuke shook off Yagyū Tsuki's hand, snorted coldly, and said nothing further.
"So... so handsome," Haruno Sakura cooed, gazing at Yagyū Tsuki's striking profile. Her infatuation was such that she completely disregarded his irritating remarks.
"You're so annoying!" Uzumaki Naruto seethed, his anger intensifying as he watched Sakura's obvious admiration. Yagyū Tsuki was, in his eyes, utterly infuriating! Sasuke was already arrogant enough, yet Yagyū Tsuki surpassed him in pretentiousness. How can one be more arrogant than the other? Which one is truly more insufferable? It was maddening.
"Tomorrow, there is something important. Meet at the seventh training ground at five in the morning, and remember do not eat anything from now on," Yagyū Tsuki announced, a hint of secret exasperation in his tone.
It all seemed so troublesome. Without a reward for breaking the system, why should he bother with the stinky brats of Team 7?
Regarding the team test at the seventh training ground tomorrow, it was Kakashi who requested it. Since I have already taken over Team 7 thanks to the system reward, I might as well let Kakashi owe me a favor.
Uchiha Sasuke asked, "What happens if I eat?"
"You will die," Yagyū Tsuki replied with a faint smile and a dangerous glimmer in his eyes, as though warning everyone that disobedience would lead to severe consequences.
"Is this the world of ninjas?" Uchiha Sasuke murmured, his brows furrowing as he slowly clenched his fists.
The notion that eating could kill you must be connected to tomorrow's tasks after all, the life of a ninja is far removed from that of a schoolboy.
Ninjas, after all, are always accompanied by death!
"You will... die. Is tomorrow's task really that dangerous?" Haruno Sakura's voice trembled as she swallowed nervously, panic evident in her eyes.
Did becoming a Genin truly entail facing an almost lethal mission immediately?
"See you tomorrow."
Just as Yagyū Tsuki was about to leave, he paused, placed his hands in his pockets, and addressed the class once more, "Oh, I almost forgot."
"What is it?" they asked in unison, puzzled.
"I can't stand those brats who haven't even grown all their hair yet especially those who make too much noise," he declared with a slight smile before disappearing in a flash of teleportation.
Team 7 was left speechless.
Their new teacher had spent all night drinking with alluring women and dismissed his students as annoying brats. What kind of teacher was he? Could such a leader be trusted?
"You asshole" Uzumaki Naruto roared, his entire body seeming to catch fire as he bellowed like a furious fox with wild, exploding hair, "I don't care if you're a Jōnin or a team leader; tomorrow I will teach you a lesson and make you, you insolent guy, utterly embarrassed!"
This was the first time Uzumaki Naruto had met someone more infuriating than Sasuke.
"Don't hold back tomorrow; you'll be the last one," Uchiha Sasuke stated coolly, slipping his hands into his pockets before swiftly leaving the classroom to prepare his ninja tools after all, he might be facing a very difficult mission tomorrow.
"Calm Sasuke is so handsome," Haruno Sakura murmured as she watched Sasuke's proud back, her expression softening into full-blown fangirl adoration.
Although she was very worried about the mysterious mission that could cost her life, Sasuke's calm and fearless demeanor kept her anxieties at bay.
Yet, she found herself caught in a dilemma. Sasuke was undeniably handsome, but Mr. Yagyū, with his captivating looks, also had a problematic personality.
How could she decide between the two?
"Whether it's Mr. Yagyū or that arrogant guy Sasuke, one is more pretentious and the other even more arrogant. Do they really have to show off so much?" she mused.
"Damn it!"
Uzumaki Naruto seethed in anger, his teeth aching from gritting as his fury boiled over. The most exasperating part was that even after all the commotion and Sasuke's antics, Mr. Yagyū still had the nerve to leave a final, infuriating remark!
