After leaving the orphanage, Akihiko teleported to Yugao's location. As soon as he arrived there, he dodged a slash at his head.

"OH SHIT! Yugao-sensei, it's me, your favorite disciple. Also, nice mask." Akihiko said as he got up from the strike. ​​

'Well, it's not wrong since I am the only disciple she had.' Akihiko thought as he looked around to see that Yugao was the only person here.

"What are you doing here?" Yugao asked as she sheathed her sword.

"Can't your lovely disciple come and visit you?" Akihiko asked as he put his face over both of his hands and used Puppy Eyes.

Akihiko used Puppy Eyes.

It was not effective.

Yugao just sighed and said, "Get straight to the point."

Akihiko thought, 'It would have been effective if I haven't eaten the Body Development Pill. But whatever.'

"I just wanted to invite you to the Yakiniku Barbeque for dinner."

"Just the two of us?" Yugao asked as a teeny tiny smile appeared at the corner.

"No…. There will be around 15 people." Akihiko said breaking the teeny tiny smile on Yugao's face.

"Alright, I'll come." Yugao said.

"Also, do you know where Guy-sensei is?" Akihiko asked as he remembered that he haven't seen Guy for quite some time.

"He should be at the training grounds 3. He got a new genin team a few months ago." Yugao answered.

"I see. Thanks, Yugao-sensei." Akihiko said as he teleported out of the room leaving Yugao alone in the room again.

-----

Akihiko teleported in a small empty alleyway near Training Ground 3. You may ask how he can teleport where he wants?

Since Akihiko learned the Hiraishin, he marked most of the places in Konoha with his seal. There were very few places which were not marked.

Akihiko walked out of the alleyway and walked towards Training Ground 3.

As he become closer to the training ground, he could start hearing the sound of Guy shouting, "YOUTH."

Akihiko just laughed and went inside Training Grounds 3.

-----

As soon as he entered the training grounds, he was greeted by Might Guy running along side Neji, Lee and Tenten. Neji, Ten Ten and Lee looked like they were about to faint.

"BELIEVE IN YOURSELF THAT YOU CAN DO IT! ONLY THEN YOU WILL SUCCEED. LET THE POWER OF YOUTH EXPLODE!"

But the only response he got were the sound of three people falling down as they took deep breaths.

Might Guy sighed and stopped running. He turned back and carried the three of them to sit down and rest. Although, they didn't faint, they didn't have any energy to move.

Then, Guy heard a extremely familiar voice, "Hey, Guy-sensei, long time no see."

He turned around to see a purple-haired young man with golden eyes. The young man was currently 185 cm. (over 6 ft tall)

"OH! AKIHIKO, LONG TIME NO SEE. DID YOU WIN THE CHUNIN EXAM?!" Guy asked as he saw Akihiko.

"Haha, Guy-sensei, of course I won the chunin exam." Akihiko answered as he showed the gold medal.

"AS EXPECTED OF MY STUDENT, YOUR YOUTH IS VERY STRONG!" Guy gave Akihiko his signature pose.

Neji, Lee and TenTen were looking at this scene while sitting. Ten Ten remembered Akihiko as she had seen him at her family shop before.

"HAHA, AKIHIKO, DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A SPAR?" Guy asked as he wanted to know how much Akihiko had improved.

"Sorry, Guy-sensei, I came to invite you for dinner today. Are you free in the evening?" Akihiko asked with a slightly apologetic smile.

"No worries, Akihiko. We can have a spar next time. I will come for dinner today. Where should I come?" Guy asked as he toned down his voice a bit.

"At Yakiniku Barbeque at 6 p.m. You can bring your students too. Then, I'll be on my way." Akihiko said as he waved at Guy and walked out of the Training Ground 3.

-----

[After Akihiko left]

Lee who was curious about Akihiko decided to ask, "Guy-sensei, who is this Akihiko?"

Neji and Tenten also listened from the sides.

Guy looked at Lee and said, "I taught him when he was 5. He is a genius. Even though, I only taught him for a week, he mastered all the taijutsu for chunins."

Lee who heard this was surprised, "Wow, so Guy-sensei, you taught him around 13 years ago, right?"

Guy shook his head, "No, I taught him 6 years ago."

Lee, Ten Ten, and Neji counted and all shouted, "HAH?! HE IS ONLY 11 YEARS OLD?"

They couldn't believe it as Akihiko looked like he was 18 years old. Heck, Akihiko was even younger than them.

Guy then asked, "Will you guys follow me to eat dinner?"

All of them nodded as free food was the best.

Guy smiled and said, "ALRIGHT THEN, LET'S RUN FOR ONE MORE HOUR. LET YOUR POWER OF YOUTH EXPLODE!"

Neji and Tenten just ran while Lee shouted, "YOUTH!" while running.

-----

After that, Akihiko went to his home, which was also a cookie shop and slept. He decided to only open the cookie shop tomorrow as he was too lazy to open it today. After that he slept for 2 hours.

-----

During the time Akihiko was sleeping, Kurenai reported to the Hokage and Hiruzen called Yugao, Guy, Kakashi, Kurenai, Shikaku and Asuma.

When they arrived, Hiruzen asked them, "What do you think about giving Akihiko and Izumi Uchiha the rank of chunin? Is there anything suspicious about them?"

Asuma couldn't handle it and first shouted, "Izumi Uchiha can be given the rank of chunin, but that brat? He can not be trusted!"

Yugao and Guy who heard it become enraged as Akihiko was their disciple and Guy treated him like he was his own child. On the other hand, Kurenai just looked at Asuma with a disdaining look.

Guy then said, "I can guarantee that Young Akihiko can be trusted. I trained him when he was 5 and had been close to him since then. He definitely can be trusted."

Yugao also said, "I agree with Guy-san. During the time that I taught him kenjutsu, he was friendly towards everyone. I think Asuma-san has some bad opinion about Akihiko. He had been badmouthing Akihiko for every problem."

Asuma wanted to shout but Hiruzen looked at him coldly.

Then, Kurenai and Kakashi also agreed with Guy. Shikaku just looked at the drama unfolding and said, "What a drag. "

After deciding to end it with a vote, Akihiko and Izumi were promoted to chunin with the vote of 6:1.

[2 hours later]

*Yawn*

Akihiko woke up as he checked the clock. It was 3.30 p.m and the classes in the academy will end at 4 p.m. He decided to and wait in front of the gate of the academy as he needed to invite his friends.

Akihiko walked towards the academy as he wanted to take a walk. He stood in front of the academy while eating cookie after cookie. The taste is always delicious and he never got tired of them.

He found an interesting scene. There were two men fighting over the cookie that Akihiko made. The man 1 said "This is my cookie." while the man 2 then said "Our cookie."

Then, suddenly he heard a voice in his head that he hasn't heard for a long time.

*ding*

[Make Kurenai hate Asuma]

[Details: Kurenai is halfway through hating Asuma. Give her a final push.]

[Reward: ???]
