18 Chapter-18: Bullying the team and Surprise from Haku

(MC POV)

It's been a week since the Land of waves mission. All of us relaxed for the week as nothing of importance happened. Of course I already took care of Gato and his goons, so no one created any problems and everyone was happy.

Kakashi trained team-7 in chakra control but it was mainly just Naruto as Sakura had good control due to really low reserves and Sasuke was already trained by me.

I was just relaxing most of the time too.

After we arrived in Konoha and reported the mission status, everyone was shocked. One must know that encountering a enemy jonin isn't a joke, that too on their first C-rank mission as well as someone well known as Zabuza, the demon of the mist. It's like tickling Cerebrus and hoping he is happy and doesn't chomp your head out.

A genin gets toyed that badly in front of a jonin. Zabuza wasn't serious at all in the first fight. If he was then all three students would be dead.

Team-7 was given a week off from the mission and we were only assigned C-rank mission for subsequent week.

My jonin promotion is finally here. I will be promoted next week.

It's July now.

I was invited by Hinata to train for some time and I agreed.

While we were sparring, I sensed that someone was watching me.

"Come out whoever is sneaking glances at us. You wouldn't like me dragging you out, would you?" I said.

I saw a wild Kurenai appear.

"Oh hey Kurenai-senpai. How are you doing?" I asked with a smile but I was clearly annoyed she interrupted our time together.

I don't get much time spend with her anyway and I get interrupted now?

"H-hey Kazuya-kun. I was here for Hinata. Team 10 will now assemble in this training ground." She said.

"I see. I will go now." I said to Kurenai.

"You're strong Hinata...but you don't have any deciding factor like a trump card. You should prefer ninjutsu. Your taijutsu is solid. Get your affinity checked and try to get a jutsu from your sensei." I said.

"Thank you, Kazuya-kun." she said.

I pinched her cheeks a little.

"Come on don't be so formal with me. How about we get some Dango today?" I said.

"W-Why not. I will meet you in evening." she said with a smile.

"A date it is. I gotta go now. Train harder 'kay?" I said as I left.

"Okay! Bye!!" Hinata said.

"That was smooth..." Kurenai murmured.

"What sensei?" Hinata asked as she didn't hear what Kurenai said.

"Let's go now. Today we will continue our training." Kurenai said.

"Sure let's go." Hinata said with a bright smile.

They left shortly.

Meanwhile our protagonist reached to training ground 33 where Team-7 was assembled.

(MC POV)

"So everyone is here huh?" I said.

"Yes. Where were you though?" Kakashi asked.

"I was sparring with Hinata for some time. It made me realize a few things. I think you should leave for the day Kakashi-senpai. I will deal with the team today. You owe me a bowl of ramen though." I said.

"Nice I can chill for today. What are you going to do though?" He asked.

"Nothing much, I will get rid of a few flaws here and there." I said with a smile.

"Oh no, is that his signature 'devil' smile." Kakashi murmured.

"What?" I said as I didn't hear what he said.

"Go a little easy on them. I'm leaving for the day as you asked. See you later." Kakashi said as he left while reading Icha-Icha series.

"It seems that you both are still too naive and think that being a ninja is a joke. I ought fix that, don't I?" I said to Naruto and Sakura.

"What happened? The mission was fine wasn't it?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah what happened? It was fine wasn't it?" Sakura said.

"It seems you forgot how both of you just froze initially and even after improvising later, you do not use your brains at all. The fuma shuriken strategy was admirable but anything else was just disappointing. While Sasuke may not be the best, his judgement was on point for most of the part."

"First, doubting your team mate during a mission is bad. You cannot achieve any teamwork with that. Sakura you doubted and got annoyed at Naruto for most of the mission and cared too much for Sasuke." I said as Sakura lowered her head.

"Second, Naruto you still think being a ninja is fun and games. Don't think like that. You're on a mission not a Holiday. You are still on your antics while on mission. You don't think and rush head-first towards your opponent. Killing you is.." I said as I used body flicker and got behind him with a kunai.

"Very easy like this. Just a little poke on neck and it will go swoosh and you die." I said.

I flickered back to my location.

"So both of you will work together to fight me. Sasuke, you will train in nature transformation and train alone for today. I will spar with you later."

"Okay." Sasuke said as he moved away.

"Now." I said to both of them while releasing a bit of killing intent.

"It's time to fight. You do not know meaning of urgency and team work." I said in cold tone.

"Get ready. You have five minutes to discuss. I will test your team work first. Come at me." I said.

They both discussed something and rushed towards a random tree.

I was just chilling for the time being. I could easily eliminate them but that defeats the purpose doesn't it?

First a few projectiles came towards me from a single direction. I just deflected them.

Naruto then came out and used shadow clone jutsu and started a taijutsu battle with me.

I just dodge them. Every single attack was dodged.

I just undid the clones by kicking everyone once.

I saw the real Naruto rushing back. I just ran towards him and grabbed him hand and kicked him on his chest. Of course it was a light one. We don't want him dying.

He just screamed in pain as he flew a little back and hit the ground.

Sakura just came in to rescue and left with him on a tree nearby.

They clowned like this for hours!

I was angry. The team work was so bad that any experienced chunnin could kill them.

I rushed on the tree they were on and gave a kick to both of them.

They fell from the tree and didn't recover.

"Too bad. The team work is too bad. I suppose you aren't taking this seriously are you?" I asked.

"IT'S NARUTO! HE JUST RUSHES IN WITHOUT CONSULTING!" Sakura screamed.

"But Sakura-cha-" Naruto said but I cut him off.

"Shut up." I said as I increased my Killing intent.

"The five minutes to prepare was given to you for this. In real life, no one will wait to fight you. You must work as a team or else it will be useless. You are judged as a team, not individuals. You will die in battlefield if you think like that Naruto." I said.

"It seems you cannot feel anything in a situation like this huh? You do not have anything to lose. You know its fake as we are just 'sparring' huh? I will fix that now. Follow me." I said as I reached to a clear area.

After reaching the clear area, I used a genjutsu on them.

This genjutsu has a scene where I take off my shirt and just gouge my heart out with my nails and throw it away. I also tell them I have a secret jutsu that can heal me instantly and fix everything.

The genjutsu was really strong and incredibly realistic as I did pull a person's heart out just to satiate my curiosity. You do really messed up stuff as a ninja and even more when you have enough power and strength.

Meanwhile, I got rid of my shirt and cut my finger a little and spread blood on a bandage inside my storage scroll. I wrap the bloodied bandage on my chest.

I break the genjutsu.

"Now. Come and defeat me. I will die if you are late. I can survive for at most 5 minutes from now." I said as I put my hand on my chest and gave a really vile chuckle.

They went pale. Instantly shaking.

"WHAT DID YOU DO KAZUYA-SENSEI! DON'T DIE ON US LIKE THIS! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!" Naruto screamed.

"YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE SOMETHING CRAZY LIKE THIS! JUST STOP AND GO TO HOSPITAL NOW OR USE THE SPECIAL JUTSU TO HEAL YOURSELF NOW." Sakura said.

"Fight. Me. Now." I said as I rushed towards them.

We fought a taijutsu battle. They were really stiff at first but were fluid in a few minutes in.

I then jumped back and made some hand seals.

"Fire release: Fire ball Justu!"

It was very small compared to the normal as this was just to train them.

They avoided it and rained projectiles on me as they started to close distance between us.

I again took them on a taijutsu battle. I fought them for the remaining time.

"Okay stop. Your movements are better now and you must continue this sort of team work." I said with a smile.

"It was a nice attempt but you must still have a long way to go."

""JUST HEAL YOURSELF NOW! YOUR HEART IS GONE NOW! DO SOMETHING!"" They screamed.

"Chill for a bit. It was a genjutsu." I said.

""Huh?"" They both were confused.

I pulled out the bandage and showed them everything was fine and I didn't gouge my heart out.

"" YOU BASTARD!"" They screamed after checking as they had tears in their eyes.

"You wouldn't be working together unless you get a good reason to. I just did what was the most efficient." I said.

""What a devil."" They both said as they wiped away their tears and looked at me with hateful looks.

"Hey! Don't be like that! You would have no team work for like forever because of this! There was no other better way!" I said as I defended myself.

"It was still unnecessary to do. Anyone would freeze and break down because of that." Sakura said.

"Do you have any other way? Try to put yourself in my shoes and try to find the best solution." I said.

"It was still very cruel." She thought for a bit and said.

"What can I say, Ninja life is cruel after all." I said.

"Anyway, you should take a rest for a bit and start your training I assigned to you. I will check your affinities and train your ninjutsu tomorrow. Disperse for now." I said as I moved towards Sasuke.

"You should go home and train for today. I have some work to do." I said.

"Okay but don't be late. I still need to train harder." he said.

"Don't worry about training. You know me well. I wouldn't allow you to get it easy." I said as I put on my shirt and left.

It was almost evening now and I ran to training ground where Hinata was.

She was standing outside.

"Was I late?" I asked.

"Nope. We disperse a few minutes ago." She said with a smile.

"Then let's go now. We have some Dangos to eat." I said.

"Sure. Let's go." she said.

We ate some dangos and explored the Uchiha hub.

It was almost night time now.

I dropped her at her clan compound. She had a smile on her face.

I went back to my home.

Sasuke was sleeping as he must've exhausted himself from training. It was a daily routine at this point.

I created a shadow clone and went into my Kamui dimension.

I went inside my the warehouse and took a nice long bath. I drunk some sake which was inside my storage scroll during bath too.

Gotta love me some sake.

"tou-san, I've been training hard these days. I'd like to spar with you to check my progress." Haku said as he kneeled.

"Eh~~? Not now...Later. It's night time. You should take a bath too." I said as I was really drunk.

"H-h-huh? I-I will take one later." Haku said.

"No no no~~! Now! I don't want you to be sweaty from all this training. Everyone~ loves a good bath after a workout right~? Come on now don't be so shy~." I said as I got more comfortable.

"I-I-" Haku tried to say something but I cut him off.

"NOW~~!! No Excuses~~! I don't like them!" I said.

"O-Okay...I will j-join you." Haku said.

After a while Haku came in with a towel wrapped on himself so it covered her breast-

Wait breasts?

I choked on sake and I coughed a little.

"Haku~~! Did Zabuza lie to me? You are a girl~?" I asked.

I could've sobered myself with chakra but I didn't.

This was a little too shocking and sake was expensive.

"I-It's not like I wanted to hide it! He always thought I was boy and I didn't want to disappoint him. Are you disappointed in me too?" She said with a sad tone.

"How interesting. Anyway, have some sake. It will relieve some stress. As far as disappointment is concerned, I am not. In fact, I am pleasantly surprised, Tool-chan~." I said as I drunk another cup of sake.

"...Really?" she asked.

"Of coursee~~. Why would I lie to you? Do I have a reason to? And call me daddy~~!! Hehehe!" I said.

I was drunk and I just realized what I said.

I sobered myself a little just to get more control over my speech.

Sh*t.

I messed up.

"C-c-c-c-c-c-can I...?" She said.

'!! WHAT THE F*CK! I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO GO LIKE THIS?!' I thought.

"Sure why not~~." I said.

"Then I-I will, D-daddy." She said with a blush.

'HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW THE MEANING OF THAT TERM?! SHE TOO DAMN PURE.' I thought.

"I will get out of the bath for now~. We can continue our little date later~~. I need to sleep now. You should relax for some time too." I said as I exited the bathroom.

She blushed a lot. Her face was red.

I quickly put on my clothes and went outside my Kamui dimension and got into my bed.

I was tired for today.

I slept for the day because of sake.

Stress of this gender reveal wouldn't allow me to sleep without getting drunk.

Gotta love sake.

(A/N: Did you like it?

I am bad at writing.

Especially like romance and sh*t.

Haku is female on popular opinion. My heart is dark af so I don't think I can write romance.

Snu Snu will happen in a few chapters or next one? Keep reading to find out.
