[An alternate-timeline story for Jing Zhiyou, following the promotional route featuring Senju Tobirama]
After making classmates cry for the umpteenth time because she could barely hide her inhuman nature, Jing Zhiyou was once again summoned to have her parents called in. Amid her grandfather's helpless sigh, her grandmother's relieved laughter, and her mommy's enthusiastic crunching of sunflower seeds, she signed up for an after-school class recommended with great enthusiasm by a mysterious elder.
"If you want to get along with your classmates, this 1v7 Hokage preparatory class is a great choice~"
Jing Zhiyou: Suspicious. Watching closely.
Her doubts lasted until she went to the Senju family home with the flyer and knocked on the door. At last, everything became clear.
"Senju Tobirama?"
Jing Zhiyou looked at the flyer: "Lifetime Professor of Ninjutsu," "Specializes in space-time ninjutsu, forbidden jutsu development, Water Release ninjutsu, and ninja pedagogy," "Honorary titles: Fastest in the Ninja World, Master of Forbidden Jutsu."
"You're looking for me?"
Fourteen-year-old Senju Tobirama still had a little baby fat on his face. He eyed the unexpected visitor warily.
"I heard you're good at looking after students?"
Jing Zhiyou thought that a Senju Tobirama without a beard wasn't very convincing, but maybe, just maybe, he really was a young genius of an educator.
"I don't have any students."
Senju Tobirama thought the question made no sense.
"Oh. Goodbye."
Jing Zhiyou turned to leave, but a certain mushroom-headed boy blocked her way. During their fight, her elven bloodline, accidentally awakened, was mistaken for Wood Release.
Jing Zhiyou: I'm an elf!!
Senju: It's Wood Release!!
Bloodlines could not be confused, and after eight hundred rounds of heated arguing, Jing Zhiyou, who had no grasp of social etiquette, was talked into settling down with the Senju.
Although she didn't learn how to get along with people in the 1v7 after-school class, Jing Zhiyou felt she had learned quite a lot (a certain mushroom head kept his contribution well hidden).
One day, when Jing Zhiyou sneaked off to the market to buy sweets, she ran into a little black cat with braided hair.
Later, Uchiha Madara came alone to the Senju clan's territory and demanded that they hand over his student.
Jing Zhiyou huddled behind Senju Tobirama's fur collar, nibbling on a sweet and slacking off.
Until someone called her full name.
"Miracle Jing Zhiyou."
Meow meow meow? She had never introduced herself by her full name to anyone in this world.
"I'm Uchiha Madara. Starting today, I'll guide you into becoming a proper ninja."
Senju Tobirama: What, you think I'm dead?
Theme: Love can overcome any obstacle.
