Chapter 566: Class Assignment and Recruitment!
Chapter 566: Class Assignment and Recruitment!
"Servo Qianjun..."
A Chunin entered the classroom and called out the name.
Indeed, it was normal for a Chunin to be the class teacher, so no one felt anything amiss.
Only Tang Ping knew that the class assignment would have an unexpected teacher lineup.
One by one, students were led away by their teachers.
Soon, only the Nine Little Strong and Tang Ping's group remained in the classroom.
Just then, a stunning female ninja with long, black, wavy hair, wearing a tight-fitting mesh outfit and a red and white outer coat, entered the room.
Red Sunset! Although she was only a 'Special Jonin', her fame surpassed that of a regular Jonin.
Specializing in Genjutsu + stunning beauty! Her fame was bound to be significant.
And for this, Red naturally wouldn't refuse the attention.
Because ninjas were a contradictory group.
On one hand, they wanted their information kept secret, preferably to the extent that no one knew their identity.
After all, the more information others had about a ninja, the more vulnerable they became in combat.
On the other hand, they desired fame, ensuring the best deals for missions and other opportunities.
Otherwise, titles like 'White Fang', 'Three Sages', and 'Golden Flash' wouldn't have resonated throughout the ninja world; it was all because fame equated to benefits.
So, despite being just a Special Jonin, Red Sunset's hiring fee wouldn't be any less than that of an Elite Jonin.
Facing these passionate gazes, Red felt as if she had returned to her graduation days.
"Inuzuka Kiba, Yugao Chizuru, and Hyuga Chiyoda of the Eighth Squad, follow me!"
She called out these three names.
Even she found this arrangement somewhat troublesome.
Aside from Inuzuka Kiba, both Hyuga Chiyoda and Yugao Chizuru were challenging students.
But she couldn't refuse, nor could she decline.
In the original storyline, she and Asama were lovers, naturally granting her certain privileges.
However, due to the butterfly effect, they were no longer lovers, and she was just an ordinary Special Jonin.
And an ordinary Special Jonin in Konoha had a rather ordinary status; she couldn't even decline, let alone refuse.
"Yes, Red Teacher!" 3
The three little ones stood up.
As Red was about to turn and leave the classroom, her gaze naturally fell on Chiyoda, standing next to Tang Ping, causing her pupils to constrict.
She felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity with Tang Ping's appearance.
As a Genjutsu specialist ninja, one of the essential requirements was a keen mind and strong memory.
If one had a coarse and unrefined mind like Gai, Naruto, or Lee, mastering Genjutsu would be impossible.
So, Red immediately pondered the source of this familiarity in her mind, feeling certain she had met him before and had a profound impression of him.
However, despite her inner thoughts, she outwardly led the Eighth Squad away without hesitation.
In fact, her awareness was solely due to the profound impression Tang Ping had left on her.
Initially, Asama had been slapped in front of her, and Tang Ping's appearance then was somewhat similar to his current one, so it wasn't surprising that Red had this misconception.
'Troublesome!'
Tang Ping naturally sensed Red's gaze and sighed inwardly.
At times, he couldn't help but admire a woman's intuition.
It was completely unreasonable! The other party might already suspect him.
However, it didn't matter. By the time the other party realized it, he wouldn't need to hide his identity anymore.
Moreover, the other party's days in Konoha weren't pleasant.
According to the intelligence, a force was intentionally pressuring her to change her surname to Sarutobi Red.
As for what this force was, no one dared to speak of it, and no one dared to ask.
Stomp! At the classroom door, a graceful and handsome man in white entered.
It was Asama!
However, upon seeing him, Tang Ping felt like howling.
Because according to the intelligence, the other party was entirely different from the original storyline.
OCD, graceful and handsome, close relationship with Danzo... and more, all of which were completely different from the original storyline.
Especially the close relationship with Danzo; every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but want to howl.
Their relationship might as well be 'man on man' and it wouldn't be strange.
The reason for Tang Ping's guess was simple.
For Danzo, it was natural to favor Hiruzen Sarutobi's kin, and for Asama, it was due to Danzo's connection with Root.
To become the Hokage, Danzo and Root would undoubtedly be significant assets.
One could say that Asama had made considerable 'sacrifices' to attain the position of Hokage.
Indeed, his abilities had reached the level of a Quasishadow.
It was his outstanding performance that led the ninjas behind the F4 to place their bets on him, and he carried the immense expectations of the Hokage lineage.
A Quasishadow!
His strength had surpassed that of his brother, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and his exceptional performance in missions had earned him the title of 'Dragon of Konoha.'
Indeed, this title wasn't solely due to his strength.
While Quasishadows were not weak, there were numerous ninjas in the ninja world. However, being the son of the Third Hokage and having the support of several powerful ninja clans meant that gaining a title became significantly easier with their backing.
After entering the classroom, Asama spoke up.
"Team 10, Kiba, Choji, and Ino!"
After saying this, he turned and left.
As the son of the Hokage, these three could only be his students.
The 'Pig Deer Butterfly' clans and the Sarutobi clan had a unique relationship.
Therefore, it wasn't unusual for their teacher to be Sarutobi Asama, an elite Jonin with Quasishadow-level abilities.
By now, only Tang Ping's team, Minato, the Second Pillar, and Sakura remained in the classroom.
A white-haired female ninja with a mask and a forehead protector covering her left eye entered the room.
Her tall and slender figure, along with her half-revealed face as white as jade, indicated her stunning beauty.
"Sorry, I got lost on my way of life. Team 7, Naruto Uzumaki, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura, follow me!"
The white-haired female ninja, Kakashi, apologized while scratching her head.
Behind her, a woman with smooth, shoulder-length hair and a gentle, watery demeanor entered, but a teardrop-shaped beauty mark at the corner of her eye added a touch of allure.
Two stunning beauties! One with a mix of clumsiness and charisma, and the other with both gentleness and allure.
"Let's go!"
Izumi also called out to Tang Ping's team to leave.
Since their squad was meant to attract attention openly, everything had to follow the standard procedure.
Next up were regular missions.
Catching cats, harvesting rice, cleaning trash, and more.
These tasks were also available at the Tenshu Kaku.
These missions didn't seem suitable for ninjas.
However, during these tasks, the teachers could guide their students in techniques like water walking, tree climbing, searching, and more, and it was an excellent opportunity to bond with the villagers.
Currently, Tang Ping's team was holding their noses while retrieving items from a smelly river.
On the distant riverbank, Izumi, Red Sunset, and Douen were eating grilled fish and drinking wine.
Indeed, Team 8 had also taken on the same mission and was executing it at another river segment nearby.
These daily missions were common, so encountering each other wasn't unusual.
As for Douen's presence here, it was because she was Hojo's close friend, and the two were inseparable.
Izumi's ability to get along with them was due to Honglian.
She and the two were close friends! Izumi was Honglian's 'little sister,' and she had previously befriended Hojo and Douen through her. In their free time over the past few days, they had been shopping together, so it was natural for them to be hanging out now.
"Hojo, Douen, are you still unwilling to go to the Tenshu Kaku?"
Izumi asked while eating.
Honglian had previously tried to persuade them to join the Tenshu Kaku.
It wasn't about betraying Konoha but rather having them go to the Tenshu Kaku through long-term missions and then indirectly joining.
Although this required some sacrifices, for exceptional talents, the cost wasn't significant.
However, she hadn't succeeded.
Izumi's persuasion this time was due to their friendship.
But this time, the response was different.
