Naruto looked embarrassed to speak, which made Yūhi Kurenai anxious. This was related to her future, so she couldn't afford to be careless.
"Speak quickly, or I will tell Hinata that you offended me and mess up your affairs," Yūhi Kurenai threatened 'viciously'.
Naruto was taken aback. He didn't expect her to be like that. Before, he really didn't know much about her.
"Okay, you insisted on me saying it," he said with a shrug and resumed writing the script.
"I actually don't know when your relationship started. It's just that when I found out, Kurenai-sensei already had a baby on the way."
Yūhi Kurenai's pretty face turned red upon hearing this. It always made her feel embarrassed to hear such things from a student, especially a male one. However, to understand the situation, she suppressed her discomfort.
Naruto glanced at her and continued, "But when it was confirmed that Kurenai-san was pregnant, Mr. Asuma was also diagnosed with lung cancer. Well... it was already in the advanced stages due to excessive smoking, so even Tsunade-sama couldn't do anything about it."
"Lung cancer?!" Yuri's beautiful eyes widened in shock.
She knew Asuma smoked a lot, but she never expected it to be that severe.
"This has nothing to do with me!" Naruto exclaimed weakly.
Yūhi Kurenai shot him an angry glance. "Go on!"
Naruto's cautiousness made her both furious and amused. "But I have to say, after being 'fucked' by you like this, I feel a lot more relaxed."
"In fact, if it's just late-stage lung cancer, Tsunade-sama's abilities could have at least helped him delay his death. But because he had so many bad habits, his body was full of malignant bacteria."
"In the end, when the disease struck, he didn't even have time to say his last words. He left you and the child in your womb all alone and helpless. How tragic!"
Naruto sighed and was glared at by Yūhi Kurenai, immediately saying seriously, "I'm not talking nonsense, Kurenai-sensei."
"Originally, because you were carrying Asuma's child, the Sarutobi clan was quite happy and wanted to take you in. However, you refused at the time, saying you would discuss it after the child was born."
"But it's a pity that your child was born with serious congenital issues, including cerebral edema, cleft lip, and mental retardation, all caused by Asuma's bacteria."
Yūhi Kurenai's pupils shrank, and she grabbed Naruto's arm tightly. "Then... what happened to the child in the end?"
Naruto's arm was slightly hurt from her grip, but he had to keep up the act.
Shaking his head, he said sadly, "I feel bad for you. After the Sarutobi clan learned about the situation, they immediately denied your child's identity. They didn't want to accept such a child at all."
Yūhi Kurenai felt her heart break at the thought of her child's condition.
"Fortunately..."
Naruto changed the subject, "Thanks to Tsunade-sama's efforts without sleep or food, the child was saved. As a result, aside from being a bit weaker and having a slower brain reaction, she's just like everyone else."
Yūhi Kurenai sighed in relief, her hand still clutching his arm tightly. At this moment, she had no energy to care about the discomfort.
"Sarutobi clan? Even if they beg me to join, I won't consider it!" she said firmly.
The Sarutobi clan had been completely blacklisted by Yūhi Kurenai. No matter what, she would never be friends with them again.
Naruto sighed softly. "Asuma's funeral and your daughter's issues have drained all your savings. The Sarutobi clan refused to accept you, so we, your students, as well as your peers, Kakashi-sensei and Guy-sensei, all chipped in to support you."
"Kurenai-sensei didn't want to accept it at first, but there was nothing she could do. With a child like that, she couldn't leave her alone to go back to being a ninja and take on missions."
"The child... is a daughter?" Yūhi Kurenai's heart sank to the bottom.
Her future life will indeed be quite challenging.
Now, consider this: if she had never been with Asuma from the start, she would still be a Jōnin in Konoha.
In my usual routine, I take my students on missions that are not particularly demanding, and while the income is modest, it's sufficient.
Whenever I have leisure time, like right now, I enjoy lounging on the balcony chair with a drink in the evening.
Life is truly delightful!
"Asuma... Asuma!!" Yūhi Kurenai's anger grew as she contemplated the situation, gritting her teeth as if she wanted to devour Asuma alive.
Naruto was taken aback by her tone and hastily advised, "Kurenai-sensei, please calm down. It's not worth damaging your health over this."
"Moreover, your life has gradually improved since I became Hokage."
"At that time, you may not be able to return to being a ninja due to your long absence from the field, but your daughter will be a teenager in the future, so you won't need to worry anymore."
"Mirai? Is that her name?" Yūhi Kurenai's expression softened as she envisioned a beautiful young girl with ruby eyes like her own, growing up healthy and strong.
Naruto provided a brief overview: "Yes, Mirai. That's the name you gave her. Although her ninja abilities are not exceptionally high, she is a very dedicated and kind child. Her hard work compensates for any deficiencies, and she swiftly passed the Chūnin exam, becoming a Chūnin."
"Afterward, I kept her as one of my Hokage bodyguards. Her performance on duty was excellent, and she consistently went beyond expectations, earning additional funds as a reward to support her family."
"As a result, she has almost paid back the money we loaned you back then."
"Before I arrived in this timeline, you were planning to ask for some time off in the future so that you and Mirai could travel to various ninja regions and unwind together."
