Chapter 26: Yuhi Kurenai’s Farewell
TL Note: Bonus Chapter today!
Leaving the Hokage Building, Kurenai said goodbye to Gai and Kakashi before hurrying toward the Hyuga Clan compound.
Since this was not an emergency mission, even as a jonin, she could only move quickly through the streets rather than leaping across rooftops.
Among the Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Aburame clans, Kurenai least liked visiting the Hyuga household. The place had too many rules, and as someone from an ordinary family, Kurenai truly disliked such formality.
Since it was already late, visiting the other two clans—both considered mid-sized with fewer formalities—wouldn't be a problem. But the Hyuga Clan... Heh, better to get this over with quickly.
Upon arriving at the Hyuga compound, Kurenai was met with the piercing gazes of numerous Byakugan. Following protocol, she formally requested a meeting and was eventually led to Hiashi Hyuga and Hinata.
"Sensei?"
Hinata, ever the polite and reserved girl, timidly stood up and bowed toward Kurenai under Hiashi's stern gaze.
Kurenai nodded and gestured for Hinata to sit back down.
Among her three students, Hinata was undoubtedly her favorite. She was well-behaved, unlike Kiba, who was troublesome, or Shino, whose presence was sometimes barely noticeable.
A gentle and obedient girl—exactly the type Kurenai liked best.
