Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 148 : Jonin Sensei

You are truly worthy of being Strongest!

Afterward, the Third Raikage invited Kurama to visit the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Try our Cloud delicacies. Appreciate the customs and culture of the Hidden Cloud."

The dignified Third Raikage had become a tour guide.

No, even the Anbu escorting Kurama enjoyed the blessing.

"This is really my first time sightseeing in enemy territory," one of them murmured.

And just like that, the trip to the Hidden Cloud came to an end.

A few days later, Kurama returned to the Hidden Leaf Village.

Inside the Hokage's office, Tsunade glanced at the list of newly graduated Genin on the table. Her golden eyes lifted toward Kurama, a smirk forming on her lips.

"So, Kurama, which squad do you want to mentor as a Jōnin Sensei?"

Kurama took a cursory glance at the list.

"These three."

Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara.

"Them?"

The documents highlighted Kakashi as the top graduate, an absolute genius. Obito Uchiha, the dead last. And Rin, the quiet and well-mannered kunoichi.

Kurama became their squad's Jōnin Sensei.

Meanwhile, Tsunade had assigned Kushina Uzumaki to mentor Kurenai Yuhi, Shizune, and Uzuki Yugao. Yugao was a bit younger, but her graduation was assured.

"Are you going home tonight, Hokage-sama?" Kurama teased with a mischievous grin, his hands moving a little too freely.

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him.

"Can't you see how many damn documents I have? No, I'm not going home."

"Oh, I see how it is..." Kurama chuckled meaningfully, backing off for now.

Next, it was time to meet his new squad.

At the training ground, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin stood waiting for their Jōnin instructor. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Kakashi's smug demeanor irritated Obito to no end.

"Of all the people, why the hell do I have to be stuck in the same squad as Kakashi?!" Obito groaned.

At least Rin was here. That was his only comfort.

"Rin, do you know who our Jōnin instructor is?"

"No idea. But we'll find out soon enough," she replied with a gentle smile.

Obito was immediately mesmerized. That was the girl he liked. Sweet, kind, and radiant.

"Did you hear? Kushina Uzumaki is also taking on a squad as a Jōnin instructor. Imagine if she were our Sensei!" Rin said, her face full of admiration.

Obito clenched his fists. "Rin, I swear, one day I'll be Hokage!"

Rin giggled. "I look forward to that day, Obito."

Kakashi scoffed. "Tch. You haven't even awakened your Sharingan. How do you plan on becoming Hokage?"

That was a well-timed cold splash of reality.

"Kakashi, you bastard—"

Just then, green leaves swirled through the air as a figure appeared before them.

Kurama stood there with a confident smirk.

"Yo. From today onward, I'm your Jōnin instructor."

All three were taken aback—even Kakashi was stunned.

Sensei?

Kakashi knew of Kurama.

He remembered the stories. The man before him had once saved his father. Not just saved—brought him back from the brink of death. That was a power unlike anything he had ever seen.

And then there was his connection with Kushina Uzumaki.

Kakashi swallowed hard. He knew all too well—the depths of this man's strength were immeasurable.

Not long ago, Kurama had single-handedly captured the Two-Tails from the Hidden Cloud.

That was an S-rank mission, the kind that could spark wars.

Yet, the Hidden Cloud didn't retaliate.

Why?

Because they were terrified of him.

Even as a prodigy, Kakashi knew when to bow his head. The brilliance of the stars was nothing before the blazing sun.

Obito, however, had no such awareness.

"Who the hell is this guy? Never heard of him. How can someone like him be our Sensei?" Obito muttered.

It didn't sit right with him.

Because the moment Kurama appeared, Rin's gaze never left him.

"He's so handsome... Kurama Sensei," Rin whispered, starry-eyed.

She was at that age—where admiration could easily become infatuation.

Obito scowled. "Tch. He's just a pretty boy. Does he even have Jōnin-level skills?"

Before he could say another word—

SMACK!

Kakashi punched him.

"Shut up, idiot!" Kakashi hissed.

Obito winced, rubbing his face.

Rin, too, shot Obito a glare. "Obito, how could you say that about our Sensei?!"

Obito immediately shrank under their glares. The two biggest simps in history—Haruno Sakura and Obito Uchiha.

At least Sakura got to cling to Sasuke.

Obito? He'd get nothing.

In the original timeline, it was Obito who caused Kushina's death.

But now, Kushina belonged to Kurama.

There was no way Obito would ever get close to her.

Kurama studied him.

Would this boy still fall into darkness? Or would he inherit the Will of Fire?

Obito couldn't understand why Kakashi was acting so differently.

"Kakashi, long time no see. You've already graduated, huh?" Kurama said.

"I never expected to see you here, Lord Kurama."

"Well, I'm your Sensei now."

Kurama then pulled out a set of bells.

"You know the drill. The bell test. But this time, it's slightly different."

Kurama didn't keep the bells on him.

Instead, he tied them to the highest branch of a tree.

"You pass if you get the bells. Do whatever it takes. But I'm standing in your way."

Obito scoffed. "That's it? That's your big test?"

Kakashi, however, was already breaking into a cold sweat.

Something wasn't right.

Obito was brimming with confidence. " Kurama Sensei, do you really want to do this? If you're not careful, you might get hurt."

Kurama smirked. "Oh? Then come at me, kid. Let's see if you can back up that mouth."

And so it began.
