"Rin!"
"Kurenai!"
After Rin and Kurenai came out, Obito and Asuma, this year's simp duo, also followed.
Looking at Kurenai, who wore an expression of 'I'm sticking with you no matter what', Jin felt a headache coming on. So he pointed at Asuma and said, "I already said you don't need a 'cheat'… just stay away from that kid."
Asuma, who had just caught up and happened to hear this, was utterly baffled.
'Damn, is this Uchiha bastard targeting me?'
"Do you hate me?"
Kurenai's voice couldn't help but choke up, her eyes reddening as she asked with a pitiful expression.
'Whoa, she's crying now?'
Jin was a bit thrown off.
One can only say a woman's mood is like June weather.
It changes in an instant.
"You, you made Kurenai cry! A-apologize to her right now!"
Asuma swallowed nervously.
But to win his crush's favor, he mustered his courage and shouted at Jin.
"Go away! It's none of your business!"
The red-eyed Kurenai snapped.
Asuma: "..."
"Goddess, I'm standing up for you!"
"Alright, alright, stop crying. It's annoying me. You can come if you want. One more won't make a difference."
After all, Tsunade wasn't coming, and having only Konan and Rin along would still be a bit lonely.
"J-Jin-sama, where, where are you taking Rin?"
The not-yet-corrupted Obito didn't have the guts of young master like Asuma.
But the thought of his day-and-night-dreamed-about goddess going off with another man made him feel as if ants were crawling all over his body.
"To kidnap innocent women."
However, Jin's reply left Obito completely speechless.
'What the heck?'
...
After deciding to bring Konan, Rin, and Kurenai along, Jin suddenly remembered they were all still students at the Ninja Academy, so he felt he might as well have them graduate early.
Konan's strength was no problem for even Chunin, let alone Genin.
The graduation exam naturally wouldn't trouble her.
Rin and Kurenai would have a harder time.
But after Jin sent someone to put in a word, the examiner turned a blind eye.
When Hiruzen heard about it, he didn't interfere much either.
After all, these two girls had no Kekkei Genkai or background.
In Hiruzen's view, at most, Jin just wanted to play a lolita raising game.
If that could make him neglect his duties due to his hobbies, Hiruzen would be delighted.
'Ah, it's a pity I had to maintain my image as a kind old grandfather.'
'Otherwise, I'd like to play too.'
...
Coincidentally, there was another first-year student applying for early graduation this year-
Hatake Kakashi.
This wasn't surprising.
After all, in the original work, after Sakumo's suicide, Kakashi immediately applied for early graduation.
Even more so now that his father had died two years earlier.
Unfortunately, Jin had already grouped Konan, Rin, and Kurenai into a team.
And he had volunteered to be this team's Jonin Instructor.
Kakashi would probably still have to be assigned to a team full of adults, just like in the original work.
Then, after Obito graduated, he would be assigned to Team Minato.
'But who would fill the spot left vacant by Rin?'
'Forget it, it's not worth thinking about.'
Jin didn't really care about that issue.
...
That afternoon.
Having completed the graduation exam and officially received their forehead protectors, the three girls came together to the Uchiha Clan's compound.
They're ready to depart with Jin.
However, just as they reached the entrance, they heard Tsunade's roar from inside the house:
"Give it up! I am NOT using a Pikachu tail plug and calling you 'Ash'!!"
About five seconds later, Jin walked out of the house, his clothes disheveled.
His neck, visible above his pajama collar, was covered in scratches and hickeys.
But even more eye-catching was the Pikachu tail on his right hand, which is covered in golden fur, with a curved, zigzag line.
Seeing this, Rin and Kurenai were dumbfounded.
Rin Nohara: "Is that... the tail of some animal?"
Kurenai: "What's it for?"
Konan, who had eavesdropped several times before, had a vague idea.
She couldn't help but curse 'Adulterers' in her heart!
"Oh, you're here. Wait a moment, I'll take a quick shower and then we'll go."
Jin waved to the three girls without a hint of embarrassment, casually placed the Pikachu tail on the corridor, and headed for the bathroom.
Out of curiosity, Rin and Kurenai picked up the Pikachu tail and examined it intently.
Seeing this, Konan couldn't help but facepalm.
But she also couldn't resist glancing at the conical tip at the tail's end.
'If, if that were squeezed in... would there be problems going to the bathroom later?'
...
After washing off the scent, Jin had just stepped out when he found the three little girls studying the Pikachu's steel tail.
He was covered in question marks.
'What?'
'You girls want to try it too?'
