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

Chapter 54 How to Wear a Headband

However, he was devastated because the training ground was destroyed and a huge sum of money was needed to restore it.

But after calming down and thinking it over carefully, Kurenai realized that she had no choice but to accept it.

Even though Yakumo caused such a commotion, she still achieved her initial goal, didn't she?

Furthermore, Akali directly asked her to write the mission report, which meant that she had given her full authority to explain the mission.

Naturally, Akali, as a firsthand witness, remained silent, and Hinata Shino was unaware of how she wrote her report; it was entirely her own business, and she was able to conceal Kurama Yakumo's loss of control.

Kurenai's assessment was originally a major incident, but fortunately Akali turned the tide and prevented a disaster.

But now, despite some flaws, the plan was still perfectly executed, achieving three goals at once and showcasing the excellent qualities of Jonin Kurenai Yuhi.

So, Kurenai was shocked to discover that not only could she not complain, but she also had to thank Akali!

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

Kurenai was deeply moved.

She looked at Akali with amazement, her ruby-like eyes filled with wonder: "Akali, are you really only 12 years old?"

“No, Red!” Akali shook her head.

"Huh?" Kurenai Yuhi was taken aback.

At this moment, numerous speculations surged within her, and the minds of all the Murphys in the world seemed to connect.

Then she heard Akali continue, "I'll be 13 in a little over a month!"

"..."

“You…” Kurenai rubbed her temples, trying to suppress her rising blood pressure and the itching on her fists.

After a long pause, Kurenai finally managed to utter the rest of her words: "Akali, aren't you afraid of getting beaten up for being so naughty?"

"Of course... I'm scared! But..."

Seeing that Kurenai seemed to be about to get angry, Akali quickly and obediently moved closer, hugging Kurenai's arm affectionately.

Then Akali raised her head, a fawning smile on her face, her big, bright eyes blinking as she shook Kurenai's arm and maliciously acted cute:

"Hey, I'm sure Red Sensei won't hit me, right? Hey, hey, right!"

[Ding! Kurenai's emotional value +233!]

"Tsk..." Looking at Akali like this, Kurenai Yuhi's expression was indescribable.

Akali is really skilled at this: first stirring up trouble, then obediently calming people down.

But Kurenai sadly discovered that she really couldn't stay angry in the face of such a beautiful and adorable Akali.

After all, what bad intentions could Akali possibly have? She's just a little mischievous because she's young!

"Sigh!" Thinking about Akali's strength and the future relationship between everyone, Kurenai Yuhi sighed in resignation.

"Never mind!" Kurenai shook her head and sighed sincerely, "Akali, I'm starting to worry about your future boyfriend!"

"I wonder what kind of man could withstand the toying of a little witch like you."

Compared to herself, Kurenai Yuhi felt that she was quite difficult to pursue. In the early years when Kurenai Yuhi was still around, her standards were extremely high, and she looked down on people like Asuma.

Or rather, every girl of her generation hoped that her future boyfriend would be someone like Kakashi.

Now that he has become a Jonin and his career seems to have reached its end, he has started to think about family matters and has included Asuma in his consideration.

But as for Akali, Kurenai couldn't even imagine what her other half would look like.

Kurenai Yuhi recounted all the men she had ever met in the past.

Hmm, perhaps the resurrection of the Fourth Hokage would barely qualify?

But how could that be possible? Kurenai shook her head again, dismissing her unrealistic idea.

What Kurenai Yuhi didn't know was that she and Akali were on completely different tracks.

"Men don't need that!"

Akali smiled slightly: "I like girls who are sweet and soft, whose breath smells like flowers and honey."

"So, Hong, why don't you consider me? I also want to experience the feeling of being pampered by an older sister!"

"Go to hell!" Kurenai Yuhi replied very quickly this time.

At first, Hong was shocked by Akali's words, but after hearing the rest, she realized that Akali was joking again.

Faced with Akali, a little imp, the mature and alluring Kurenai Yuhi was somewhat troubled: "Akali, you should at least show me some respect!"

"Sigh, never mind, there's no point in talking to you. You guys go register at the Ninja Academy yourselves. I'm going to report to the Third Hokage now."

Without paying any more attention to Akali, Kurenai Yuhi vanished from the spot in a few blinks.

Not long after, Hinata and Shino arrived, seemingly having received a notification from Kurenai Yuhi that they were going that way.

Then they entered the cabin and took out a scroll. When the scroll was unrolled, it contained Kurenai Yuhi's handwritten statement that she had passed the test, and her chakra was also present on it as a proof of authenticity.

"Huh, they really do need the information we're looking for?"

Akali found the scroll somewhat amusing.

"Indeed, we didn't expect that either!" Hinata and Shino nodded.

Shino speculated, "The existence of this thing means that in Kurenai-sensei's original plan, we would need to find this scroll to pass, but Kurenai-sensei's shadow clone directly announced that we had passed."

"So, something did happen during this assessment after all?"

Shino glanced at Akali and Hinata, then shook his head: "Never mind, it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, even if something happened, nothing went wrong."

"So don't worry, I won't say a word!"

As a family that controls insects, the Aburame people have always believed in secrecy.

Akali greatly appreciated his attitude.

Hinata saw something but didn't say anything, and Shino guessed something but still didn't say anything. With such tacit understanding, they can indeed be called a team.

Thinking about it this way, Akali realized that she was quite lucky. The people in Class 8 might not be the most outstanding or the strongest, but they were definitely reliable.

"Alright, let's go get our headbands!"

The three went to the Ninja Academy, found Iruka, and handed over Kurenai Yuhi's credentials.

Iruka was not surprised that they passed, and immediately granted them graduation permission, handing them Konoha ninja headbands.

Just like in the original story, Hinata wore her headband around her neck, while Shino wore it properly on his forehead.

When it was Akali's turn, she looked at the headband in her hand and was at a loss, because Akali had never thought about this before.

Should this headband be made into an armband like Shikamaru's, a belt like Lee's, or hung on a gourd strap like Gaara's, or around the neck like Hinata's, or tied in the hair like Sakura's?

Akali looked at herself and felt that nothing about her suited her or looked good.

As for aesthetics... you can't just leave the right thigh bare and keep tying it on the right thigh as a leg ring, can you?
