Summer, Year 60 of Konoha.
The blood and fire of the Nine-Tails' attack had long since faded, and the new generation was budding and growing.
In the blink of an eye, graduation season had arrived once again.
Whenever this time of year came around, Iruka tended to rein in his temper somewhat, leaving a touch of warmth for the children about to set foot upon the thorny path of the shinobi.
Unfortunately, there were some people who simply did not need it!
Pressing his throbbing temple, Iruka looked at the young woman standing before him.
On her upper body, she wore an emerald-green, tight-fitting, halter-neck, sleeveless dress, revealing her rounded shoulders, smooth underarms, and a portion of her jade-white back.
On her lower body, she wore green bloomers with slits up the sides of the thighs. The dress was split at the hips into two long panels—one in the front and one in the back—which hung down alongside the long cords of her sash.
At the same time, she wore dark green greaves and arm guards on her lower legs and arms, along with a neck guard. Her exquisite face was covered by a green mask identical to the one Kakashi wore, a green headband was tied across her forehead, and her waist-length black hair was tied back into a high ponytail.The young girl appeared dressed entirely in vibrant green. Her combat outfit struck a balance between breathability and protection, looking both sharp and stylish while naturally exuding a dashing, heroic air.
Although a mask concealed her face, her chest—fuller than one would expect for her age—along with her perfectly proportioned, slender figure, was captivating enough.
Roughly speaking, she was dressed just like that.
Yet, sadly, an appearance that caught the eye at first glance could not conceal her problematic behavior.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the irritation rising in his chest, Iruka asked earnestly:
"Akali, can you tell me why you went and harassed Hinata like that?"
"Harassed?" Akali tilted her head slightly with a cute motion, blinking her innocent, amber eyes. "Iruka-sensei, I didn't harass Hinata!"
"And you still say you didn't!"
Iruka's voice instantly pitched up an octave.
"Then could it possibly be Naruto who cornered Hinata against the wall, presented her with flowers, and confessed his feelings to her until she got so shy she passed out?""That's right!" Akali nodded with utter frankness. "It was Naruto, everyone saw it!"
"You!" Iruka was so infuriated by Akali's attitude that he trembled, pointing a shaking finger at her. "It certainly was Naruto, but that was Naruto transformed by you!"
"The Hyuga ninja have already confirmed it, there's no use arguing!"
"Akali, I certainly don't remember teaching you to become a child like this!"
As he spoke, a heartbroken Iruka thumped the desk with heavy *thuds*.
On the solid wood desk, the teacup lid, ink bottle, and fountain pen rattled and bounced continuously, fully displaying Iruka's rage.
Desk HP -1!
However, Akali had known long ago that Iruka would be furious.
Because...
[Ding! Emotional value from Iruka +9!]
[Ding! Emotional value from Iruka +99!]
[Ding! Emotional value from Iruka +999!]
On Akali's system panel, the influx of emotional value harvested from Iruka was constantly scrolling across the screen!
Yes, Akali was not a native of this Shinobi World, but a transmigrator equipped with a system.
Apart from granting her the champion template of Akali, the Rogue Assassin, her system also allowed her to use emotional value and money to draw prizes, acquiring items from both League of Legends and the Shinobi World.
It was just that when Akali chose her champion and transmigrated six years ago, turning into the champion she had selected, her gacha system hadn't appeared immediately—Akali only had Akali's basic panel.
It wasn't until now, when Akali was twelve years old and about to graduate, that her gacha system truly activated; previously, Akali hadn't even known this thing existed.
Consequently, she hadn't had any need for money before. As an orphan living off government relief funds, Akali naturally hadn't bothered thinking about ways to make money.
With no money, didn't she have to mess with people's minds and collect emotional value instead?
The harassment of Hinata that Iruka mentioned was precisely done for this very reason.In truth, this wasn't really harassment. Akali and Hinata actually got along quite well; one could even say they were each other's only friend.
It was just that Akali had experimented and found that whenever Naruto was involved, Hinata's emotional value was exceptionally easy to harvest. So she had deliberately persuaded—or rather, hoodwinked—Hinata into doing a desensitization experiment regarding Naruto!
To put it simply, Akali would transform into the likeness of Naruto to interact with Hinata, helping Hinata get used to Naruto's presence so she wouldn't faint within a second of facing him.
Only, from the looks of it, this desensitization experiment had gotten a bit out of hand.
Of course, Akali would absolutely never admit that it was her fault!
After all, lacking certain equipment, she had no way to have deep exchanges with young maidens, leaving cuddling and clinging as her only remaining joy!
Besides, in this Shinobi World, all the girls were completely normal, leaving her as the sole yuri in the entire Shinobi World.
Having grown accustomed to her current body and confirmed that she could never possibly like men, Akali had already prepared herself to stay single for the rest of her life.
Therefore, within her limited time, getting stronger, making trouble, and cuddling girls were Akali's only sources of fun!
Thinking of this, Akali let out a sorrowful sigh, instantly transforming into a tragic figure.
I'm so stupid, truly!
If she had known that picking a champion would also lead to transmigration, she never should have picked Akali just for fun!
Why not The Boss? Why not the World Ender? Or Darius, Jax, Lucian, or Jayce—wouldn't those have been so much better?
As the saying goes, as Shysensei once said, if you don't pick Lucian this game, you're an idiot...
"Bang!"
A loud slam on the desk rang out, interrupting Akali's soaring thoughts.
Looking up, she saw Iruka with a ferocious expression, his mouth twitching and his eyes burning with blazing fury, a volcanic eruption seemingly raging in the background!
Clearly, Iruka was beyond furious that Akali could still let her mind wander while being scolded by him!
Akali panicked a little: "Iruka-sensei, let me spin a counter-argument!"
For a teacher who earnestly taught you things, any normal person would feel at least some sense of awe.
Yet at this moment, Iruka was not about to give Akali any chances whatsoever.
Iruka let out a cold smile: "Akali, am I usually too gentle, or has your rebellious phase finally arrived?!"
"Write me a ten-thousand-word self-reflection report, and guarantee that this will never happen again. Hand it to me during next Monday's homeroom meeting!"
With that, Iruka turned and walked away, leaving Akali not an ounce of room for debate!
Only Akali was left behind, holding her hand up in a futile gesture as the wind blew through her disheveled hair!
After a long while, Akali sighed: "Forget it, ten thousand words it is. The Shadow Clone is going to write it anyway."
She then walked out of the school and came to a secluded corner not far from the Ninja Academy.
Here, Naruto had been waiting for a long time.
As mentioned earlier, Akali had no money, so she could only rely on emotional value gacha pulls.
So the question arose: wasn't there a way to make money while also gathering emotional value?
Of course there was.
And Naruto was a crucially important piece of that puzzle!
Seeing that Akali had finally arrived, Naruto complained with dissatisfaction: "You're too slow, Akali!"
Akali offered an apologetic smile: "Sorry, Iruka is just too much of a pain!"
"True, Iruka really is a pain!"
Naruto nodded in agreement, but he quickly snapped back to reality:
"Wait, that's not what I came here to talk about today!"
"Akali, you need to give me an explanation for this thing today!"
With a slap, Naruto pulled out a magazine and slammed it down in front of Akali.
It was just an ordinary glamour magazine.
But the focal point was the cover!
The girl on the magazine cover was strikingly none other than a blonde, twin-tailed maiden!
Looking closer, who else could it be if not Naruko, transformed through Naruto's Sexy Technique?
