Naruto: Scourge of the Ninja World

The next day, under Sayo's persistent urging, Gekko Chizan brought Pakura to tour the village of Konoha.

He also had to report back to the ninja academy; after all, the mission was over and it was time to resume teaching.

When Pakura found out Gekko Chizan was a teacher, she was immediately surprised.

"You're already a teacher at such a young age?"

"Heh, what's that supposed to mean? Haven't you heard the saying, 'He who excels becomes a teacher'?"

"Tch, and what exactly do you teach?"

"Ninja concealment techniques."

Pakura was instantly speechless. Thinking back to how this kid had snuck into the women's bath without her noticing... well, to be fair, he really did have some skill in hiding.

Still, the course sounded a little suspicious.

This was Pakura's first time visiting another village. Having grown up surrounded by desert sand, she couldn't help but envy Konoha's lush scenery.

Green mountains, flowing rivers... sigh, why didn't her own village have views like this?

And Konoha was bustling too, with many small shops lining the streets.

"What's wrong? Thinking Konoha is beautiful, aren't you?"

"Haha, if you like it so much, just live here. Don't go back."

Pakura quickly turned her eyes away, though the scenery was indeed beautiful.

"Hmph, don't even think about it. Right now, I'm just your prisoner."

"I'll go back when I get the chance."

Gekko Chizan smiled faintly at Pakura's stubborn expression.

She'd lived her whole life in Sunagakure—it wouldn't be easy to make her abandon her village.

Too bad she'd already been captured. Want to leave now? Not happening!

"Eh? Chizan-sensei, you're back!"

"Who's this?"

You might not always run into love around the corner, but you might run into a bunch of kids.

Uchiha Obito, Might Guy, and Rin were walking toward the ninja academy.

In the last graduation exam, only Kakashi had passed early and was now out on missions.

As for Guy, he hadn't passed the exam last time.

"Mm, this is… my friend…"

"Huh? Chizan-sensei's friend? Then she must be really strong!"

Uchiha Obito's eyes lit up. He was working hard to improve, aiming to graduate smoothly next year.

Guy was even more pumped, full of fighting spirit.

"Let's spar! Since the last graduation exam, I've been training twice as hard!"

"Right, Guy?"

Looks like Obito had found a new sparring partner now that Kakashi was away.

"That's right! Youth is about burning passion! Chizan-sensei! And you, Lady Sensei!"

"Please train us!"

"Lady Sensei?"

Pakura blinked at how the boy had addressed her.

A teacher, huh… but she was just a prisoner…

"Haha, Guy, you're totally right."

"Let's go—head to the academy's training field. I'll have Pakura-sensei train you two!"

Before Pakura could object, Gekko Chizan laughed loudly and made the decision on the spot.

Uchiha Obito and Guy immediately dashed toward the ninja academy.

Rin waved goodbye to Chizan, then followed after them.

"Hey! Who said I agreed to train those brats?"

Pakura was not pleased—she had never said yes.

"Haha, come on. We're just wandering around anyway. Besides, even though I sealed your chakra, you can still use basic jutsu. Just don't go overboard—I don't want the security force to arrest you."

Gekko Chizan shrugged. He figured training a couple of kids wasn't a big deal.

Then he grabbed Pakura's hand and started pulling her toward the academy.

"Hey! You little brat! Let go of me!"

"I can walk on my own!"

But no matter what Pakura said, Gekko Chizan kept dragging her along.

Worried about drawing too much attention, Pakura quickly fell silent—but a faint, unnoticeable blush crossed her face.

"So this is your ninja academy? Looks pretty unimpressive to me."

When Pakura finally saw Konoha's ninja academy, she showed a hint of disdain.

A plain-looking, three-story building. Very humble in appearance.

"Hey, ever heard of the beauty of simplicity?"

"As long as it can teach and nurture the next generation, who needs luxury?"

The beauty of simplicity…

You don't need luxury to educate...

Hearing Gekko Chizan's words, Pakura unconsciously nodded slightly.

He was right—if it can teach the next generation, who cares if it's worn-down...

Tch, this little brat… why did the things he said always catch her off guard?

The two of them then headed straight for the training field.

Sure enough, Uchiha Obito and Guy were already ready to go. Whether they'd spilled the news or had been spotted, who knew—

But now the training field was packed with people.

"Why are there so many people?"

"Gekko Chizan, I'm telling you—I'm not doing this!"

She was already a prisoner, and now there was a whole crowd watching?

What did they think she was—some kind of exhibit?

Even Pakura wasn't the only one surprised—

Even Gekko Chizan was a little stunned.

It was supposed to be a simple sparring session… how did it turn into this?

"Heh heh, Chizan-sensei, don't blame me. It's all Guy's big mouth."

"Once people heard a beautiful lady teacher was coming, everyone showed up."

Beautiful lady teacher… huh. Fair enough.

"Pakura, look at how friendly the students are. Why don't you just step up? Don't worry—it's just a quick spar with those two little troublemakers."

"That's that. Off you go, Pakura!"

With that, Gekko Chizan shoved Pakura right onto the training field—

Completely ignoring her furious expression.

"Pakura-sensei, I'm Uchiha Obito."

"Might Guy!"

"Please train us!" *2

Pakura felt all the eyes around her…

And looked at the two excited boys.

In her heart, she silently cursed:

Damn you, Chizan. I will absolutely get revenge for this!

But she was also a little surprised by the identity of the boy in front of her.

A member of the Uchiha clan? The Uchiha had always been the most powerful clan in Konoha—

She hadn't expected to meet one so soon.

"I'm Pakura. As for my strength… well, I guess I'm barely at jōnin level."

After all, her chakra flow had been sealed.

She'd already tested it—there was no point trying to use her Scorch Release.

Most high-level ninjutsu were also off-limits.

But she was still an elite jōnin from Sunagakure—

Her combat instincts and awareness hadn't gone anywhere.

"Whoa! A jōnin!"

"Our school's got another super-strong teacher!"

The students were instantly thrilled.

All their regular teachers were chūnin—

Jōnin were extremely rare.

Gekko Chizan didn't count, since he'd only recently been promoted.

In fact, the school only had one other jōnin,

And he had retired due to injury.

As for the other teachers, they frowned slightly—

All curious about Pakura's identity.

A jōnin this young… coming to teach?

And they hadn't heard anything about a new teacher being hired...
