Naruto: All I want to do after transforming into Akali is be happy!

Chapter 66 Naruto and Sasuke's Second Request, Kurama 8 Clouds Come to the Door

Both being ninjas who primarily practiced taijutsu, the two soon encountered Kurenai Yuhi and Shino, who had been waiting for some time.

"Hey, you've changed into new clothes!"

Looking at the brand-new Akali, Kurenai Yuhi's eyes sparkled with admiration.

Of course, her surprise didn't mean anything else; she was simply attracted by the novelty of Akali's outfit.

However, after looking Akali over, Kurenai Yuhi shook her head: "She's very cool, and she suits you well, but unfortunately, she's not very suitable for you."

After all, Akali's image and demeanor have always been far from cool and aloof.

Hinata is one thing, but how dare you criticize Kurenai Yuhi?

Akali immediately objected: "Red, you woman, do you even know anything?"

"Huh? (second tone)" Kurenai Yuhi, who had been criticized, wanted to defend herself.

But before she could say anything, Hinata struck first, slapping Akali hard: "Akali, how could you call Red-sensei 'wife'?"

“Hey! (fourth tone)” Yuhi Hong stretched out Er Kang’s hand.

Having already learned a bit about Akali's personality, Hong knew that Akali was just joking with her. However, in Hinata's eyes, Akali might just seem a bit disrespectful.

It's good that Hinata is willing to protect her, but it wouldn't be good if she clashed with Akali.

But similarly, Akali lowered her head before Kurenai could speak this time.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Hong!"

"Huh? (long voice)" Kurenai Yuhi was stunned as she looked at Akali with her head down.

[Ding! Kurenai's emotional value +999!]

No, Kurenai Yuhi was a little confused. Was this docile Akali still the unruly Akali who dared to tease and flirt with her?

The image of a cool, white-haired woman with a commanding presence actually being a goofy person in private is certainly appealing, but this contrast seems a bit odd when applied to Akali.

Kurenai Yuhi glanced at Hinata, then at Akali, as if she had discovered something significant.

Akali and Hinata seem to have a pretty good relationship...

Kurenai Yuhi began to think.

Of course, while pondering, Kurenai Yuhi did not forget the current situation.

Akali has already admitted her mistake; it would be impolite for her not to accept it.

Kurenai smiled at everyone: "It's alright, Akali was just joking, I don't mind!"

"Or rather, this is what I want to tell you, Shino, Hinata. My philosophy for leading a class is not to create too strong a sense of hierarchy. Just treat me as an older sister."

"Is that so?" Shino asked, somewhat surprised.

In the hierarchical ninja world, Kurenai's actions were quite strange.

But how could he know Hong's predicament?

Kurenai certainly didn't want to be a confidante, but with Akali there, her authority was destined to be impossible to establish.

Since that's the case, we might as well not have it.

When a superior is contradicted by Akali but cannot be punished, it undermines their authority.

But when Akali talked back to her sister and she didn't punish her, that's when her sister is kind and gentle.

Sure enough, upon hearing Kurenai say that, Hinata's eyes revealed a hint of longing: "Kurenai-sensei, you're so kind!"

"Haha, it's alright. I just think it's not good to take some things too seriously."

Kurenai smiled, perfectly concealing the bitterness in her heart.

But after this little incident, the four of them became quite familiar with each other when they met again.

Subsequently, under Kurenai's organization, as is customary, everyone introduced themselves and got to know each other, officially forming a team.

Now that we've formed a team, we naturally need to carry out tasks.

Just as Akali had predicted before leaving, Kurenai Yuhi, who was leading everyone to the mission hall, successfully received a D-rank mission to clear weeds, much to the slight anticipation of Shino and Hinata.

The three members of Team 8 then began working in the fields of Konoha.

It can only be said that D-rank missions are also part of being a ninja, and one has no choice but to try them.

However, it's unclear whether it's because Hinata has a lot of influence, or because Kurenai Yuhi simply doesn't dare to give Akali too difficult tasks, lest she quit.

The D-level missions of Class 8, while tedious, were all normal tedious tasks, occasionally involving searching for something, perfectly matching the professional nature of Class 8.

So, although she still had some complaints, Akali didn't say anything since the shadow clones were doing the work anyway.

During the mission, Akali also encountered Naruto and Sasuke, and learned about their assessment from them.

The first half of the test for Team 7 went smoothly, but in the second half, right after Kakashi announced that the three members of Team 7 had passed, they were immediately attacked.

During the attack, the two may have made a choice regarding their friendship and bonds. Naruto's identity as a Jinchuriki was also revealed to Sasuke during the battle. In the end, Naruto and Sasuke worked together and, with Sakura's cheering support, defeated the attacking enemy.

Akali only heard a little about it and sensed a strong script-like quality, so she stopped trying to understand it.

All she needs to know is that the drama she lost because of giving Naruto the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique was made up for by the Third Hokage.

After completing a crucial dramatic scene, Naruto and Sasuke officially embarked on their ninja journey.

However, compared to the lucky Team 8, Naruto and Sasuke's Team 7 was not so good.

They're experts at catching escapees, and even have some ninja cat blood in their cats, like Meow Meow and Tiger. They're always picking up trash in the river or taking care of children.

These tasks were nothing short of torture.

If they had some easy tasks in the original story, now that Akali's Team 8 doesn't do the heavy work, all of that work has naturally been given to Team 7, which is like doubling the workload.

In just one week, Sasuke, who had been treating it as a training ground, could no longer bear the feeling and came to Naruto's door.

He discovered that these D-level missions were utterly useless, except for being torturous and frustrating!

Akali was not surprised by this.

"It's normal, it's normal. This is what they mean by not glorifying suffering. Suffering itself is meaningless."

"So, you want me to help you figure out a way to stop doing these low-level tasks, right?"

Akali was in her home when she looked at Naruto and Sasuke sitting in a row opposite her.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Naruto and Sasuke nodded in unison.

"I can't take it anymore!" Naruto added.

"If you can't stand it, then it must be pretty outrageous."

At Naruto and Sasuke's request, Akali stroked her smooth chin and began to think.

This matter is both simple and difficult.

The simplest way is to spend more money, directly assign tasks to yourself, and use money to buy freedom.

But this is also the difficulty. Akali submitted the footage from the previous shoot to the magazine on the afternoon of the first day she met with Team 8, but it was clear that there was no way to get paid for it in more than a week.

So the few people currently have some money, but not much.

"What should we do?"

Akali began to think.

But then...

"Dong dong dong dong..."

A crisp knock sounded on the door.

"Wow, it's been quite lively here these days!"

Akali stood up with great interest.

Because of the true vision on the minimap, she could clearly see who was coming.

That was a very unexpected person—Kurama Yakumo!

Before Akali could even go to Kurama Yakumo, Kurama Yakumo came to her door on his own initiative!
