[Ding! Host has changed the life trajectories of three people today. Based on their current mental states, the future has been deduced. Host has received an A-level comprehensive evaluation and has been rewarded with an enhancement to the Yang Chakra and a Teacher's Halo!]
Once Yūhi Kurenai had fallen asleep, Naruto received a system notification in his thoughts.
"The life trajectories of three people?" he pondered.
Throughout the day, he had interacted with Sakura, Ino, Jiraiya, and finally, Yūhi Kurenai. Ino could be dismissed; she had merely been subjected to his illusions twice, and no significant future insights had been shared.
Jiraiya and Sasuke were almost certainly two of them. Jiraiya would keep silent, and Sasuke had prematurely activated his three Sharingan tomoe due to Naruto's influence. His caution towards Uchiha Itachi had also significantly increased.
This left Sakura and Yūhi Kurenai. Initially, Naruto assumed it was Sakura, as Yūhi Kurenai had received a reward the previous day.
However, upon further reflection, Sakura would likely remain a medical ninja, and his current guidance had not dramatically altered her path.
Yūhi Kurenai, though, had undergone a profound transformation after their night together. Her mindset had shifted, and her physical condition and lifestyle would likely undergo substantial changes as well. Additionally, the system's rating had improved from B to A grade.
Therefore, the probability leaned towards Yūhi Kurenai being the third individual.
The reward was an enhancement to the Yang Escape Chakra and the Teacher's Halo. The Yang Escape Chakra boost was excellent, complementing his Sage Body and medical jutsu without a noticeable increase in physical strength.
The Teacher's Halo was intriguing. By sensing it, he deduced that it could potentially boost someone's learning speed during training. The effectiveness varied among individuals and was proportional to their belief in him.
"What a waste," Naruto murmured, unable to use it on himself.
But it could be beneficial for someone he'd be with in the future. Although he enjoyed teaching, his focus remained solely on the act of pretending. He had little concern for their actual progress.
If he had advanced knowledge of illusions, he'd test it on Yūhi Kurenai. Since she planned to remain a ninja, her survival depended on growing stronger.
Nevertheless, he had faith in the system's future rewards, specifically the Genjutsu Encyclopedia.
The next morning, Yūhi Kurenai was still fast asleep in Naruto's embrace. The quiet night had brought him a deeper understanding of his new abilities.
As the dawn broke, he could no longer contain his urges and began a morning exercise with the still-slumbering Yūhi Kurenai.
Promptly, she awoke and cooperated for the sake of her future development.
This session continued from early morning to around nine or ten o'clock. By the end, Yūhi Kurenai was utterly drained, barely able to move.
"It's all your fault!" she exclaimed. "Today, I have to practice with Hinata and the others!"
Her two students had fallen short of the third round, but their failures had taught the remaining one, Shino, to be braver and train harder.
"How about I go in your place?" Naruto suggested impulsively. He wanted to visit little Hinata anyway.
Yūhi Kurenai considered his proposal. Her three students had their own family secrets, making her role as a coach somewhat redundant.
"Will you go for me?" she asked, surprised.
Naruto knew their futures, so his guidance could be valuable. Plus, Yūhi Kurenai had given herself to him; asking for a small favor didn't seem too much.
"Then I'll leave it to you," she conceded.
Yūhi Kurenai provided the meeting location for Class 8.
Naruto kissed her goodbye, rushed back to his house, hastily washed up, and left without having breakfast.
As he approached the meeting spot for Class 8, a stunning figure abruptly emerged.
Donning an Anbu mask with an elegant form and purple hair, her identity was unmistakable.
It was Uzuki Yūgao!
This time, she deliberately kept her distance from Naruto due to the previous disadvantage she had encountered.
Surprisingly, before she could even speak, Naruto swiftly took control of the situation, embracing her in his arms, his hand still pressing...
"Ahem, conditioned reflex," Naruto exclaimed without any embarrassment. "Didn't I tell you not to pop up beside me like that?"
"Release me!" Yūgao's face, concealed by the mask, was scarlet.
It was intentional, no doubt!
Why would such a reflex manifest when she was several steps away?
He even took advantage of the opportunity to touch her a few times during their conversation.
How could he claim it was a conditioned reflex?
Although Yūgao was a powerful kunoichi, she couldn't escape his grasp, and was growing increasingly infuriated to the point of almost crying.
"Sister Yūgao, please don't be upset," Naruto said with a grin, finally releasing her. "I was just teasing you. How about I treat you to dinner to make up for it?"
"I dare not let the Seventh Hokage apologize!" Yūgao replied in a frosty tone. "I am here under the orders of the Third Hokage. Please accompany me to the Hokage office."
Naruto could sense her anger, but he remained unfazed, still holding her hand as they moved forward.
"Alright, let's go then," he said cheerfully.
Yūgao tried to free herself twice, but to no avail. She could only respond coldly, "Seventh Hokage, please respect yourself!"
"Don't worry about such trivial matters," said Naruto, unfazed by her protests. "Why are you and I so formal with each other?"
Yūgao felt both embarrassed and irritated but had no choice in the matter.
It was certainly not like this the day before!
