I woke up to see Lee and Tenten staring at me in worry while Guy have a frown on his face.

"Umm… is everything alright?" I asked pretending not to know what is going on. I know I rashly opened 3 of the 8 Gates in my anger so now I'm gonna act like I don't know what happened to make Guy think I opened them in an accident or something along that line.

Some of you might wonder why I was able to open 3 gates while my skill is at level 0. Well, the answer is, the Eight Gates are not skills. They are limit put on the body to make sure you don't harm your body by exerting more strength than your body can handle. The skill is only there to give you a guideline on when you can open the Gates safely. But because it was made into a skill, I can exploit the skill into opening the Gates without the training to open it.

"How do you feel?" Tenten asked concerned.

'Status' I mentally command. I check my health and see it already back at 90%.

"I feel fine. How long did I sleep?"

"About 30 minutes. Guy-sensei told us what you did back there?" Tenten said, relieved.

"What did I do?" I ask still looking confused. Thank god… no thank Game for Deception.

"You mean you don't know what you did?" Tenten asks

"I punch Guy-sensei from his spot?"

I look around and found Guy looking at me seriously. After a few seconds of staring at me, he seemed to come to a conclusion.

"What you did before was opened the Eight Gates. Limiters put… " I listened to Guy explain to me stuff I already know while I pretend to act surprised or shocked at the information I'm getting. Thanks to Deception... or was it because Guy is not that good at detecting lies?...

Anyway, I was able to trick Guy into believing that I opened the Gate by accident without me knowing about it beforehand.

"So that's why I feel like I suddenly got stronger when I was going to hit you." I said as if I just realized.

"Correct. You do get stronger when you open your Gates but beware, the Eight Gates is a forbidden Jutsu. It's not forbidden just because of its power but also because of the harm it can bring to its user. Do not use it until you absolutely need it." Guy said seriously

I nodded, pretending to listen to him. I'm gonna spam the hell out of the Eight Gates once I got strong enough to handle the strain it put on my body.

"Good." Guy nodded too, satisfy at my answer.

"I'm proud to tell you that you passed. From today on, I'll be your Jounin-sensei and we'll be known as Team Guy!" Guy said excitedly like his earlier seriousness never exist.

"Do you know why you passed?!" Guy asked

"Because I knock you out of the circle?" I pretended not to know the answer.

"Wrong! You passed because you didn't give up! You passed because, despite the odds placed against you, you still got up and kept on going! That is how YOUTH should be! Such is the power of YOUTH!" Guy yelled.

I almost facepalm when he yelled youth. I let out a mental sigh, 'Yup, this is my life now. This is the sensei I choose.'

"YOUTH!" Lee shouted excitedly next to Guy

'And… he already started corrupting Lee.' I can feel a smile making its way onto my face. 'At least this won't be a boring team.'

While Guy and Lee are off celebrating to the side, I notice Tenten is still next to me. I sit up

"Say, Tenten. How long do you think we can take before we go crazy and start yelling Youth like those two?"

Tenten shiver at the thought. "Please don't say that. I'm already having a hard time trying to come to terms that that's Guy-sensei true personality."

"Hahaha, you should get used to it. Most powerful shinobi and kunoichi have their own quirk like that."

"Please tell me that's a lie." Tenten looked at me like her world has just been shattered.

"Don't worry, not everyone is as bad as Guy-sensei. At least from what I heard."

"Really? Like what?" Tenten asked, hopeful

"For one, I heard that Guy-sensei's rival, Kakashi always arrived two or three hours late to most meetings and go around reading perverted books in public."

Tenten paled, "I-It's only them right?"

"I also heard that Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Senin, likes to peek at naked girls. Whenever he is caught and someone calls him a pervert, he'll denial that he's a pervert. Instead, he'll call himself a Super Pervert. He's also the one that wrote the book that Guy-sensei's rival read.

Then there is Orochimaru. The Senin turn missing-nin. Before he was discovered and ran away, there were rumors going around that he's a pedo. They say people often see him trying to trick little boys into following him."

"Please don't tell me Tsunade-Sama is also a pervert," Tenten said with a scared look in her eyes and hope that her role model who she thinks she is.

"No, she's not a pervert."

Tenten sighed in relief when I said that.

"But…"

She tenses up again

"Tsunade is nicknamed 'The Legendary Sucker'."

"Wha?" Tenten looked confused.

"She likes to gamble. While gambling a little is not bad, her problem is that she gambles almost all the time. To make it worse, Tsunade's luck in gambling is so bad, that she always ends up losing all her money. That's why she's called The Legendary Sucker."

"T-that can't be true. I refused to believe that." she starts muttering to herself.

'Oops, I think I went too far.'

"T…" I was going to say something but I got interrupted by Tenten

"We are not going to turn out like that too right?" She asks me which made me think about the future Tenten that is way too into weapons. I also thought about the future I want where I'm surrounded by a harem of girls and enjoying life.

I don't want to lie to her so I just smiled sheepishly. Tenten saw my smile and look down in defeat.

I patted her head. "Cheer up. How about I take us on a date tomorrow?" I absentmindedly ask. It wasn't until I actually said it that I realized what I said and I feel my face start to heat up. I quickly use Deception to make it seem like I'm not embarrassed and are interested in going out with her, which I am.

"A date?" Tenten asked still sounding depressed but as time passed her face start to turn redder and redder.

"Lee! Hiro! Tenten! We'll meet back at the balcony tomorrow at 1 pm!" Guy shouted but I don't think Tenten heard.

"YES! Guy-sensei!" Lee salute.

"That's the spirit! YOUTH!" Guy yelled as he disappeared.

"I'll also take my leave. YOUTH!" Lee shouted as he left too.

I look back at Tenten and confirmed that she wasn't even paying attention to those two.

"Yes, a date," I answer her. When she heard the word 'date' she perked up.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow at 11:00 at the front of the academy," I told her when I'm sure she's listening.

"See you tomorrow and make sure to go home soon. Lee and Guy-sensei already left."

After saying what I want, I quickly left. I'm not sure how long my current level of Deception is able to handle my embarrassment so I left while I can. I did make sure to hide and use Perfect Stealth to look after Tenten. I wasn't trying to do anything weird, I just don't want anything stupid to happen to her because she's alone, in the middle of a place without people, and she's currently in her head and not paying attention to her surrounding.

Once Tenten broke out of her thoughts, she noticed that everyone already left and promptly leave too. The exit was in my direction so when she passed me, I can hear her excitedly whispering 'I'm going on a date with Hiro-kun tomorrow.'

Without anything else to do, I left the training ground too.
