[The Next Day]
"Hinata, good morning."
Early in the morning, Aoba arrived at the eting point of Team Twelve.
After all, Kurenai was not Kakashi and didn't have the habit of being late, so he also ca earlier.
He just didn't expect that Hinata had arrived even earlier than him.
"Ao… Aoba-kun, go… good morning!", When Hinata saw Aoba, although she greeted him, she imdiately looked away, her face flushed red, appearing as if she didn't dare to look at him.
"Hmm?", Aoba was a little surprised. This kind of Hinata, he hadn't seen in a long ti.
Seeing her, a shy white-eyed girl like a little rabbit, with her cute little face blushing unconsciously, and the way she didn't even dare to lift her eyelids much, made Aoba feel she was kind of cute.
"Did sothing happen?" Aoba asked with concern.
"N… no!", Hinata still didn't dare to look at him.
Aoba thought for a while, then smiled and asked, "Then has Hinata started to dislike ?"
"N… no way!", Hinata didn't even think before imdiately refuting.
To her, Aoba was definitely not soone she could dislike.
She just couldn't bring herself to speak.
She had just dread of him yesterday, and this morning when she woke up, the mont she opened her eyes, she discovered that in her quilt was Aoba, soone she dread of even in her dreams.
Although she had instinctively activated her Byakugan and saw that it was Hanabi transford, she had still almost fainted from embarrassnt and excitent.
Even though Hanabi said it was a special graduation gift she had prepared for her, she still gave Hanabi's butt a fierce spanking.
But now seeing Aoba, she still couldn't help but recall last night's dream, and also the mont in the morning when Hanabi, transford into Aoba, slipped into her bed.
"Really not? Then why does Hinata not want to look at today?", Aoba slowly moved closer to Hinata.
"I… I…", Hinata was too embarrassed to speak, so with each step he took closer, she stepped back one.
"You two, so intimate early in the morning without a care in the world, don't you think you're going too far?", A sudden voice interrupted Aoba, who was still moving toward Hinata.
It also allowed Hinata to escape Aoba's "oppression."
A slightly late-arriving Kurama Yakumo puffed up her cheeks and looked at the two angrily.
Aoba looked calm, "Yakumo, didn't expect you to co so early today too?"
Hinata, seeing Yakumo appear, had a slightly reduced blush on her face.
She actively moved a bit closer to Aoba.
Yakumo, watching this scene, didn't react much.
"Seems like I ca at the wrong ti and interrupted your little world of two, makes it seem like I'm in the wrong."
Aoba's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, then he raised a hand and karate-chopped Yakumo on the head.
"Ouch!", Yakumo held her forehead and cried out in pain, looking at Aoba with big aggrieved eyes.
"Speak properly," Aoba said helplessly, then nonchalantly changed the topic, "Speaking of which, teacher gave a different mission yesterday."
"A different mission? What kind of mission? Does it involve fighting other ninjas?", Yakumo's previously aggrieved look imdiately brightened up.
She had always longed to beco an excellent ninja and then revive her clan. If she kept doing garbage-picking missions, how could she improve herself or revive her clan?
"It's a C-rank mission, but it doesn't really involve combat."
"Eh? Still can't fight other ninjas?"
"If you really want to fight, we can spar a little," Aoba suggested.
"No way. Fighting with Aoba isn't fun at all!", Yakumo took a step forward and naturally wrapped her arm around Aoba's.
"Besides, if I fight with friends, I won't be able to go all out."
If she used her genjutsu to fight, it would still be too easy to hurt others.
After chatting a bit more, Kurenai arrived.
"You three ca so early?", She looked a bit surprised and secretly decided that next ti she should leave ten minutes earlier too.
Aoba took out a scroll from his chest, "Sister Kurenai, this is the mission the teacher gave us."
"From the Hokage?", Kurenai raised her eyebrows and took the scroll from Aoba.
When taking missions, ninjas had two ways.
One was to go to the Hokage building and pick a mission themselves, choosing the difficulty.
The other was being directly assigned a mission by the Hokage. These were usually matched to the team's strength.
Kurenai opened the scroll and couldn't help but let out a soft "Oh?"
"An orphanage?"
"Does teacher know a lot about the orphanage?", Kurenai's reaction surprised Aoba a little.
He nodded and smiled, "You could say there's so connection."
Back when her father had just died, Director Nono had comforted her, and afterward, she also provided so help to the orphanage within her ans.
"In that case, this morning you can all train on your own, and after lunch, we'll go and take a look."
———
The four of them ate lunch together.
But this ti Kurenai didn't treat them. They each paid for themselves.
After all, she was just an ordinary special jōnin.
Although she had both Hokage bodyguard and team leader salaries, because she hadn't gone on missions in a while, plus her personal little indulgences, and the cost of maintaining ninja gear, her financial condition wasn't exactly wealthy.
After lunch—
The teacher and her three students set out on a small road outside Konoha.
Only this ti, they were all carrying a lot of bags and packages.
After Kurenai explained the situation at the orphanage, they had all voluntarily bought a lot of daily necessities.
Not long after, the four of them arrived at the gate of the orphanage.
"Kurenai-sama! Welco!"
From afar, a woman in a black nun outfit saw Kurenai and imdiately put down the broom in her hand and ran toward the orphanage gate.
She enthusiastically greeted Kurenai.
At the sa ti, little heads appeared one after another on the orphanage's windows. These children leaned against the windows, cautiously peeking at the people outside.
Kurenai handed over the prepared daily necessities with a smile and said, "We would like to see Director Nono."
The nun took the supplies from Kurenai warmly, with an apologetic expression.
"The director went out to treat so nearby villagers. She might take a little while to return," The nun glanced at the three kids next to her and, after seeing the Konoha forehead protectors on their heads, "May I ask, is there a mission?"
Kurenai nodded and took out the mission scroll, "We accepted a mission from the Hokage."
"In that case, if you're not in a hurry, please co in and have a seat."
"Thank you for having us."
