After the noisy classroom quieted down, Sōseki walked forward, and after observing for a while, he formed hand seal with both hands, and his hands, which were glowing with a dim light, were pressed against Hanako's forehead.

Seeing this situation, everyone held their breath and did not dare to make a single sound.

It didn't take long for Hanako's frowning eyebrows when she fainted to relax, and then she woke up leisurely in everyone's expectant eyes.

"Wow! Hanako is alive!"

"Amazing, I knew that class leader would definitely do it!"

"That is … tranquility technique? In just a few days, Sōseki has mastered another Medical Ninjutsu!" On the side, Asuma's eyes were filled with confusion, "Isn’t everyone saying that Medical Ninjutsu and Genjutsu are the most difficult to master?"

Sōseki did not immerse himself in everyone's cheers, but turned around and walked towards Yui and Kaoru, and heal them with tranquility technique too, which moved these two forgotten little girls.

"Asuma, Ibiki, can you guys help me to take them to the hospital together?" Although Sōseki is not sure whether Asuma will follow the original path, but in order to prevent Asuma from sabotaging his plan, Sōseki decided to call Asuma on his own initiative.

"Oh, okay." Asuma didn't know the dark thoughts in Sōseki's mind. After recovering from the sluggishness, he rushed forward and said depressedly, "You bastard, you actually learned Ninjutsu behind my back. Damn it, if I don’t work hard, you will surpass the number of Ninjutsu I have learned!"

Before Sōseki could answer, Ibiki’s faint voice came from the side, "You don't need to struggle, sooner or later I will also pass you."

"Hateful, even you guys dare to look down on me..." However, before Asuma finished venting, something even more depressing happened.

He saw Yui staring at him with look of wariness and resistance, and then she stepped back and said, "No, I can walk by myself."

Seeing the other party take two steps warily, Asuma became even more depressed.

"Heh, you sure are comical..." Ibiki was sneering at the side, and heard Kaoru, who was supported by him, whispering, "Alas, why is it not me who fainted. I really envy Hanako!"

Ibiki's body stiffened and then he looked towards Asuma, and there was an inexplicable feeling of pity for each other in the eyes of the two.

……

When the hospital's affairs are finished, it was already afternoon.

Sōseki returned to the classroom, and everyone swarmed around him to ask about the situation.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Sōseki reassured them with a smile.

"Since Sōseki has said so, then I am relieved."

"Haha, it’s good that everything is fine."

Everyone was happily laughing, and in the hustle and bustle, a somewhat lonely figure fell asleep on her seat.

Sōseki walked towards the figure and said, "Kurenai, are you alright?"

Kurenai didn't speak, and only slightly shook her head buried in her elbow.

"I understand. You are blaming yourself, right?"

Kurenai did not speak again and also didn’t move.

Sōseki is not surprised, and said in a gentle and comfortable voice, "Actually, you did nothing wrong. If it were me, I would have made the same choice as you."

Hearing Sōseki's remarks, which are completely different from the others, Kurenai timidly raised her head, "But, I almost killed Hanako! I, I don't want to use Genjutsu anymore."

"Of course there is nothing wrong with using Genjutsu to protect yourself. What's wrong is to use Genjutsu on your companions."

"As expected, I still..." Hearing this, Kurenai lowered her head again in frustration.

"No, it's me who is really wrong! As the class leader, I did not discover and take care of your conflict in time, which made you who should be your companions to be on the opposite side. So, you, Hanako, and the others are not wrong, the only one who is really wrong is me!"

"Ah? No, it’s not!" Kurenai suddenly shook her head, "How could you be wrong? Obviously..."

Without waiting for Kurenai to finish speaking, Sōseki walked straight to the podium and said, "Everyone, can you all listen to me?"

Hearing Sōseki's voice, everyone in the classroom turned quiet instantly.

"Today, some unpleasant things happened in our class, but please don’t blame Hanako and Kurenai. It’s all because I didn’t fulfill my responsibility as the class leader. If I cared about everyone, this kind of thing would never happen. I’m sorry for causing trouble for everyone!"

"Huh? There is no such thing!"

"Hmph! Class leader, you look down on us too much!"

"That’s right, we also didn't do anything at all. It was obvious that it is also our fault."

Asuma, Ibiki: "???"

"That's me being hypocritical." Sōseki smiled brightly, and his sincere eyes swept across the crowd, "We are all Shinobi, and the only thing we can rely on when we are performing missions in the future is our companions. Therefore, I hope that each of us can protect each others’ back, and each of us can be friends forever! Is that possible? I want to be friends with you all forever!"

"Of course! We will always be friends!"

"Definitely!"

"Sōseki, how about Hanako and the others..." Yagami slammed the door open, and then, he was frightened by the fanatical atmosphere in the classroom and his legs started shaking in fright. However, he asked in a nonchalant manner, "How about you continue?"

……

After school, Sōseki was sorting out his small schoolbag when suddenly a small hand tugged at the corner of his clothes from the front.

Sōseki looked up, and saw that it was Kurenai who had recovered her vitality.

"Sōseki, thank you!" Kurenai said earnestly while clenching her small fist.

"It’s okay, we’re friends after all." Sōseki sighed, "Moreover, this misunderstanding is actually because of me..."

Hearing this, Kurenai interrupted angrily, "Why do you still say that? I'm not that vulnerable anymore."

"I'm not... Forget it, nothing." Sōseki shook his head with a smile and said, "Then let's go together."

"Huh?" Kurenai’s eyes were a little erratic, she looked at the ceiling and said, "Sōseki, you can go first. I want to stay in the classroom for a while."

"Huh?" Sōseki looked up and down on her suspiciously, and put his small hand on his chin, "Speaking of which, you don't seem to have stood up in the afternoon."

"Could it be that your foot is hurt?" Sōseki’s tone became a little serious.

"No, no." Kurenai waved her hands again and again, but looking at Sōseki’s persistent eyes, she couldn't help but be defeated, and whispered, "Yes, they accidentally stabbed my foot when they pushed me. "

"Why didn't you say this earlier?" Sōseki said with a stern face, "Come on, I will take you to the hospital now."

"No, absolutely not!" However, Kurenai’s attitude is extremely determined this time.

"Is it because of Hanako and the others?" Sōseki quickly understood the source of the problem.

Kurenai’s cheeks bulging and she didn't speak.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Sōseki sighed helplessly, squatted down, and started treating her.

"I'm sorry to trouble you again." Kurenai didn't have any strange thoughts, but felt that the palm of Sōseki's hand that is pressing on her ankle was a little warm, and also... ‘Sōseki, who is treating me seriously, is too handsome!’

It didn't take long for Sōseki to complete the treatment, "Okay, just stand up and take a few steps to try."

Kurenai stood up obediently, and walked cautiously, "Un, it's really much more comfortable."

"That's good, let's go then. I'll take you home." After saying that, Sōseki helped carrying Kurenai’s schoolbag.

"I can carry it myself."

"The injured should listen to the doctor."

"Well, by the way, my father is at home today. He is a very powerful Genjutsu-user Shinobi!" Kurenai took the initiative to find a topic.

"Shinku-senpai? I heard from the villagers that his Genjutsu is the strongest in Konoha!" Sōseki said with a "looking forward" expression.

"Hehe, right?"
