"Genya, we won~~"
Hinata said excitedly, her little face full of joy!
Genya winning made her really happy, as if she herself had defeated the teacher!
"Genya." Shino Abura looked at Genya seriously, his eyes behind the sunglasses sharp and focused. This Genya, who was rumored to be useless in the village, was actually so strong.
It seed likely that the Uchiha clan had hidden Genya's true talent. Or maybe those people never really cared about him!
After all, Genya trained his body every day, openly practicing taijutsu, but no one had checked carefully.
Right now, Genya's strength was at least that of a Jonin. As for his limit, that depended on Genya himself.
Thinking this, Shino felt deeply moved. Indeed, their small team was full of hidden talents.
Hinata's power was exceptional, and with the unfathomable Genya, this group might beco very lively in the future.
"You won. I underestimated your strength!" Kurenai Yūhi had just recovered from her shock and surprise. She looked at Genya with a smile and said calmly.
Genya's strength had truly exceeded her expectations. Looking back, when she cast her genjutsu earlier, it seed she couldn't even reach Genya's mind!
There were only two possibilities: either Genya had already left the range of the genjutsu when she cast it, so the power never reached him, or Genya's ntal strength was so strong that her genjutsu couldn't bind him at all!
Which one was it?
"Teacher, what do we do next?" Genya jumped down from the wooden post and slowly asked.
"Today's test counts as passed. Tomorrow, co with to receive a mission!" Kurenai looked at the three of them and said.
Their strength was enough to start taking missions now, so it was ti.
"Tomorrow we can leave the village to do missions?" Hinata blinked, her face full of longing.
Since she was born, Hinata had never left the village. Now, she finally could go outside!
She could finally see the world beyond the village.
"No, we need to start with simple missions first. Once you're skilled enough, then you can take on missions outside the village!"
Kurenai looked at Hinata's serious eyes and slowly explained.
Although Genya and the other two were already strong enough to go on missions outside, the rule was that students weren't allowed to do such missions right after graduation.
It was better to stick to simple missions in Konoha for now.
"Yawn~~ Then I'm going back to sleep!" Genya yawned and prepared to leave.
Honestly, it was a bit boring. Besides seeing the special techniques of the Abura clan, nothing else caught his interest.
As for the fight with Kurenai, it was just like playing house.
Kurenai was too weak.
Genya had already surpassed the level of a Jonin by a lot. To him, Kurenai was almost an ordinary person, soone he could easily defeat.
"Goodbye, Sensei!"
"Goodbye!"
Hinata and Shino also nodded to Kurenai, then followed Genya.
Hinata wanted to spend more ti with Genya, while Shino wanted to talk to him about the insect's evolution.
Insect's evolution—Shino wondered if Genya had any new ideas. If he did, Shino wanted to learn from him.
Hopefully, Genya could give so guidance!
With that, the three left together.
But not long after, Genya saw Might Guy and Rock Lee coming toward him—actually, they were doing handstands while walking. They were always training their taijutsu without rest!
"Genya…" Might Guy called out when he saw him. "Wait up!"
"Sothing wrong?" Genya looked at Might Guy curiously and asked.
They had just t this morning during training, so what did Might Guy want to ask?
"I forgot to ask you sothing. Have you seen Neji recently? It's been a while since anyone has." Might Guy's mind was a bit slow today, only just rembering to ask about Neji.
Although Neji sotis took a few days off training before, it had been many days now, and Might Guy hadn't seen him.
He couldn't help but feel curious.
"That's true~ I haven't seen Neji in a long ti either. My skills have improved, so it's the perfect ti to challenge him!" Lee also ca over, his eyes burning with passion.
Having been a true student of Guy-sensei for a year now, Lee's goal was to surpass that cold, distant Neji in taijutsu.
He wouldn't let Guy-sensei down!
"As for him~ he's probably away for a while. I don't really know," Genya shook his head.
Although Neji was completing the fusion of Shikotsumyaku in an outside lab, it was a secret. Even close friends like Might Guy and Lee didn't know.
After all,
That place's secrecy was no less than the Uchiha hospital's underground basent!
Especially now, with several Hyuga clan mbers being used as test subjects, the secret couldn't be revealed.
"You an Neji-nii~?" Hinata quickly spoke up.
She had heard from her father that Neji was sent away to train because he injured a branch family mber and had to lay low.
But for Neji's sake, she said it gently.
"Oh, I see!" Might Guy nodded and didn't press further, going back to training.
As for whether Genya and Hinata were hiding or lying, with his straightforward mind, Might Guy wouldn't overthink it.
After confirming Neji's situation, Might Guy continued his exercises, missing the chance to train with Genya and Hinata.
"Next ti we et, I will definitely surpass Neji!" Lee's eyes sparkled with determination as he followed Might Guy closely.
Genya and the other two continued walking forward.
"Heh… looks like they get along well!" Kurenai Yūhi watched their backs with a slight smile on her lips.
Although Genya led the three, the team atmosphere was pretty good.
Maybe in the future, they really would beco a top-notch ninja squad.
But… would Genya, the heir of the Uchiha clan, really go on missions?
"What do you think? Are you starting to understand how special Genya is?"
Just as Kurenai Yūhi was thinking this, a faint voice sounded.
Then—
Kurenai Yūhi turned his head and saw Kakashi behind him, also watching Genya and the others.
In Kakashi's single eye was a strange expression — part nervousness, part curiosity, and maybe even so distance.
Even though Kurenai Yūhi was skilled in genjutsu and good at reading people's micro-expressions, she couldn't figure out what emotion Kakashi's eye really held.
It seed Kakashi had so deep grudges against Genya.
"He's strong. I'm not even a match for him!"
Kurenai Yūhi followed up on Kakashi's words, but then her tone shifted.
"Kakashi, it seems you know Genya very well."
