Important note: This series does NOT impact the future of SE:AMS, or Erojutsu Crossroads. This is just a little side project I decided to do for fun. That being said, this is also Non-canon to the SEries (Hence the name 'A POSSIBLE Future'). I've just really wanted to do something with the kids in the epilogue timeframe for some time.
However, with that being said, I'm rather fond if the idea of being its own short spin-off series, but only if I get enough support for it. Please, let me know what you guys think about this becoming a complete spin-off, and I may very well make it happen.
With that being said, enjoy!
"You want me to do... what now?" Mirai Yuuhi asked incredulously.
"Hahaha!" Anko Mitarashi laughed loudly. "You know, I remember saying the exact same thing when I was first asked to do this!" She sighed nostalgically, remembering better days; back when she was young, and could eat whatever she wanted without it going straight to her hips. "You've been called in for volunteer teaching, Mirai."
"...Me?" Mirai asked, somewhat disbelievingly. It's true, she'd been promoted to Chunin not long ago, but such a responsibility now of all times?
"Yeah! I can tell you from experience, it's best to just get it out of the way and have fun with it as you go." Anko grinned.
"Still... Me, teach?" Mirai muttered. "I haven't even turned 18 yet, so... Why not somebody else?"
"Well, first off, I HAD considered Hinata Hyuu... I mean, Uzumaki, but she has... other important duties to fulfill for the Hokage~"
Judging by Anko's smirk and devious inflection, Mirai felt like it was better not to ask what these 'important duties' were; she knew how much of a dirty mind Anko had, and knew better than to indulge her.
"Second, old enough to kill, old enough to teach." Anko sighed. "Besides, you're a Chunin now, so you can handle yourself. Just come on down to the Academy tomorrow, and we'll talk, okay?"
"Sure." Mirai shrugged, still not sure about taking on such a responsibility.
The next day, Mirai arrived at the Academy as planned, where she met up with the plump Jounin just outside the entrance.
"Nervous about teaching?" asked Anko.
"Well... yeah." Mirai admitted, sighing. "Can't I do this next year?"
"No, of course not!" Anko laughed. "Just chill out, you'll do fine!" She led Mirai inside, down a hallway to presumably meet up with the other teachers. "I'll admit, I wasn't exactly fond of doing this kind of thing when I was asked to teach either."
"You were nervous too?" Mirai blinked. She'd never really known Anko to be timid before.
"Eh, maybe a little." Anko shrugged. "More than anything though, I was afraid of it being super boring. But the trick is: You gotta be confident, and you gotta make your own fun! I sure did, and I had one hell of a year~!"
"There's that inflection again..." Mirai thought, her face reddening slightly as she tried to imagine for a moment the kind of 'fun' Anko might have made. She blushed even more as dirty thoughts crossed her mind, and Anko laughed as she tried to shake erotic imagery out of her head.
"So!" Mirai said, a little louder than she intended. "What did you teach, anyway?" Almost the instant she asked, she wished she hadn't, as she pieced the answer together before Anko answered;
"Sex Education. And, as it turns out, that's exactly the class YOU'LL be teaching this year."
"Wha...?!" Mirai blushed. "N-no way!"
"Yep~!" Anko grinned. "I think you'd be the perfect choice!"
"But... Why?" Mirai blurted. "I'm... I don't...!"
"Cause the kids look up to you." Anko smiled. "You're like their cool big sis, they'd love to have you as their teacher."
Now this, Mirai couldn't deny; she was old enough to make Chunin and do important, elite ninja work, but just young enough that she made good friends with Boruto, Sarada, and many of the other students who were now entering their last year at the Academy. Indeed, the Academy kids thought, despite her claiming she was just another ninja, that she was 'cool.'
"Alright." She conceded. "I guess I could do that."
"Great! So, orientation's right now. How 'bout a few words?"
"Wait, Wha...?!" But Mirai didn't have time to question or object to Anko, as she was shoved into the classroom, all of her new students awaiting her words. She opened her mouth, ready to speak as dozens of eyes looked down to her, readily awaiting whatever she had to say, but then closed her mouth, having know idea what to say. She was now starting to feel really annoyed with Anko for putting her on the spot!
"Uh-" She muttered, fidgeting uncomfortably. "So..."
Anko made a rotating gesture with her hand, prodding Mirai to say something, and so...
"I'm sorry, I'm new to this whole teaching thing." Mirai just spat out the first words that came to mind. "I only found out yesterday I'm teaching, and I didn't know it would be THIS kind of class until just now. So... I don't really have a speech for you guys. S-sorry if you were expecting one, but..." her eyes turned to Anko, who simply nodded encouragingly and mouthed 'breathe'.
"So, for the coming year, I'll be teaching you guys sex education." Mirai continued as best she could. "And, as I said, this is my first time ever teaching, so this year will be a learning experience for all of us." As she looked around the classroom, she spotted a few familiar faces, including Sarada Uchiha, Boruto Uzumaki, and Chouchou Akimichi among several other familiar faces among her class. "Some of you I already know, and some of you I'll be meeting for the first time, but either way, I hope to get along with all of you.
Both she and Anko smiled as several students expressed excitement, some even applauding, at the idea of having Mirai as a teacher. As the round of applause faded, a hand stuck up.
"Yes, Boruto?" Mirai acknowledged Konoha's next generation trouble maker.
"So, what'll you be teaching us about?" Boruto asked, a smirk on his face. "Will you teach us about the boobies? Or maybe the PEEEEENIS~!" some laughs followed this question, whether it be at how Boruto drew out this last word, or the blushing face that it invoked from Mirai.
"Of course that little rascal's crotchspawn would end up being a little rascal himself!" Anko rolled her eyes, though she couldn't help but join in on the laugh herself; Mirai's embarrassed face was just too priceless to her. She watched with continued amusement as Mirai stuttered to find the right words to respond to Boruto's question. "This is gonna be a fun year, I can tell already!"
To Be Continued...?
Should this become a full-blown spin-off series? Please, leave me your thoughts! ^^
