Mentioning those few oddball teammates, Kimimaro was uncharacteristically talkative.
Having been on the same team for three years, he had more or less gotten used to his teammates' quirks. But when asked about them by someone close to him, he couldn't help but complain.
"The most troublesome thing is that Gan, Wen, and Cui keep trying to get me to change my hairstyle, change my clothes, and shout slogans.
Yes, I admit that Guy-sensei is very strong, but there's no need to completely imitate him, right! To get some peace, I had to say that I'd change if any of them could beat me."
"And then?" Naruto laughed, not very kindly. The Melon Head Team sounded amusing.
"Then it got even more troublesome. They challenged me three times a day, morning, noon, and night, taking turns. Whenever they lost, they'd go crazy with extra training, so I had no choice but to join them."
"Hahaha!" These few jokers were too much, managing to push Kimimaro, this cold-faced young man, to such an extent.
Naruto patted Kimimaro's shoulder, offering insincere comfort, "It's good to have energetic teammates. I think they're quite interesting."
Kimimaro said expressionlessly, "If you like them so much, I can take them to help train your class in taijutsu sometime."
"Eh? There's no need for that, is there!" When did you learn to be so devious, bro?
Countless sparring sessions since childhood had proven that, in terms of taijutsu alone, ten Narutos couldn't beat Kimimaro. Fighting him was just asking for a beating.
As the two young men laughed and joked, Kushina suddenly thought of something important:
"Kakashi, aren't you planning on finding a girlfriend yet?"
Kakashi was caught off guard, "Well... there's no rush."
"You're not getting any younger, you know. What do you think of Anko? Or should I ask Mikoto to introduce you to some Uchiha girls? They're very pretty, you know."
Kakashi was finding it hard to cope.
Kushina complained, "It's all Jiraiya-sensei's fault, writing such messy books, leading Kakashi astray."
"Hey, how can you blame me for that?"
Jiraiya didn't want to take the blame. He was just a novelist. If your kid went bad, it was because you didn't manage them well. Besides, the cover clearly said '18+', Kakashi definitely wasn't eighteen when he started reading.
"Speaking of which, Jiraiya-sensei seems to have always been single. Could he be waiting for Tsunade-neechan?"
"Well..." Jiraiya stammered. This guy was getting on in years, the number one writer of 18+ novels in the ninja world, unmatched when it came to driving, yet he was too shy to talk about his own feelings.
Naruto watched the fun, thinking about when to help Jiraiya get together with Tsunade, and also find a partner for Kakashi, but he didn't expect the flames of war to spread to him.
"Naruto and Kimimaro, don't you two learn from them. This is very important."
Kimimaro didn't speak, but Naruto retorted first, "Don't be ridiculous, Mom, I'm only twelve years old."
"What about twelve years old? When your dad was twelve years old, he was already..." Kushina blushed and didn't continue.
"Hahaha..."
Jiraiya and Kakashi, who knew the inside story, were already laughing.
Naruto added in his mind, Yes, yes, my dad is amazing, he was already carrying you and parkouring under the moonlight when he was twelve.
...
The next morning, Minato and Jiraiya went to the Hokage Office, and Kimimaro went to find his three hot-blooded teammates.
Naruto and Kushina went to the mission hall together.
Someone was already waiting at the entrance.
"Good morning, everyone." Kushina greeted with a smile.
"Good morning, Akamaru, Hinata, and..."
Naruto turned his head in the direction where he instinctively felt there shouldn't be anyone, and sure enough: "...and Shino."
"Good morning, Teacher Kushina, good morning, Naruto-kun."
"Good morning, Teacher Kushina, good morning, Naruto, I'm very happy today, want to ask why..."
Kiba interrupted Shino, yelling, "Hey, Naruto! After not seeing you for so long, you only saw Akamaru and not me?"
"Woof!" Akamaru lay on Kiba's head, his little tail wagging happily.
Naruto hugged Akamaru with both hands, stroking the dog's head while saying, "You're not as cute as Akamaru, you mere poop shoveler, don't be so presumptuous."
Kiba was so angry that he jumped up and down: "You bastard! I want to challenge you!"
"Oh, I'll have Sasuke fight you later." Naruto replied casually, what's the point of fighting, petting a dog is much more fun.
While thinking, Naruto communicated with the Nine Tails: "Big fox."
"Hmm?"
In the Sealing Space, Naruto leaned closer and asked, "Can I touch your fox head?"
The Nine Tails smiled.
Naruto was overjoyed, and then he saw a tail gradually enlarge in his eyes, and then he flew out, wincing in pain.
"Hiss~" Naruto gasped, Big fox, you wait, when I have ten points of mana...Pah wrong script.
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a young man for being poor! Naruto made up his mind, one day I will pet the fox!
Kushina was very happy to see that her students had a good relationship with Naruto.
Especially when she saw Hinata secretly peeking at Naruto, she smiled even more happily, as expected, the decision to train with Kakashi's team yesterday was the right one!
This way, she could supervise Kakashi and also... kill two birds with one stone! Naruto, you should pay more attention!
"Alright, now come with me to accept the mission first, you can challenge each other however you want in the afternoon."
"Yes!" *3
"Woof!" *1
Kushina was very authoritative, and even Kiba, the most mischievous of the three people and one dog, didn't dare to cause trouble.
Naruto reluctantly returned Akamaru to Kiba, and continued to wait for his teammates at the door alone.
Sasuke and Sakura arrived on time. Kakashi may have been blocked by a black cat for ten minutes today, but fortunately, he wasn't too late.
"Let's go." The tone of the salted fish was always so lazy.
Today, they received a dog-walking mission. There was no way, most of the boring missions left for the Genin were like this: finding cats, walking dogs, taking care of children, weeding, running errands, picking up trash...
Each of the three had a dog, leashed them, brought plastic bags, and started walking the dogs in a civilized manner, starting with themselves.
The process was unremarkable. These were just ordinary dogs, not as smart as Akamaru, nor as cute as Akamaru, leaving Naruto without the desire to rua them.
After submitting the mission, Kakashi touched the spiritual food in his ninja tool bag, but didn't take it out: "Let's go, we'll train with Team 8 today."
Sasuke didn't care, and Sakura curiously asked, "Why do we suddenly have to train with another team?"
Kakashi's teeth hurt. Do you think I want to go? Tsunade has given the order, and he dare not disobey. How could he tell them about this kind of thing?
Naruto suppressed a smile and gave Kakashi a way out: "Maybe he wants us to see the level of other teams."
"Okay." Sakura had no problem with that.
"Hmm?" Clear Skies Sasuke was online.
"Hmm..." Kakashi thought it was very reasonable, that's exactly what I was thinking: "That's pretty much it."
