Chapter 769: Flustered!
[A/N: Just a reminder, Mieko wasn't a part of Fujin's class. She was a year younger than him and Hoka. She just graduated in her 3rd year while Fujin and Hoka graduated in their 4th year.]
Seeing Fujin's reaction, Genki laughed and patted Fujin's shoulder while saying, "I'm just joking. I can guess that your missions are so difficult that we will only be in your way."
For once, Fujin agreed. While he rarely did missions, the ones he did were absolutely nuts. The entire ninja world was still in the dark about how Kumo lost more ninjas than Suna despite not being in a war.
Seeing Fujin nod without any hesitation left Genki and his comrades speechless. Genki was just giving Fujin a way out so that he wouldn't need to answer his awkward question. He didn't expect Fujin to actually agree. He awkwardly thought, 'Shit! I forgot how shameless he can be! He hasn't changed a bit!'
Fujin chuckled on seeing their reactions and said, "Well, we may not do missions together, but we'll be marching together today. Unfortunately, I don't know much about leading armies. So, I'll be in your care, seniors."
Fujin addressed Genki and the others with him. They immediately smiled and assured Fujin of their support. Fujin looked at Genki and said, "I'll be catching up with my classmates, Sensei. I'll see you later."
Genki smiled and said, "Of course."
As Fujin disappeared, Shin chuckled and said, "He's still as cheeky as ever. He got us good with that nod."
The others around him agreed. A Jounin said, "You are very lucky, Genki. To get a student like him in the academy. It's like a god-given gift."
