Summary: "It's amazing how... how you can have everything and the next day it's just... gone. You're left drifting," Ryan whispers. They are running, hiding, escaping. They are four strangers in a car, and they don't know where they're going.

Author Notes: Thanks to babycomeback2me for the kick ass banner! Never had a banner before! So exciting! This is the result of a maniac three-day writing session. I was cooking one day and I just got this vision as I stood there, hands covered in flour: Jon standing on the side of the road with an old car next to him, the lonely, cool wind brushing his hair. After that, this story took a life of its own. I really, really like this, so I hope you'll enjoy it.
Kanda Kyoichi transmigrated to Konoha and became a temporary instructor at the Ninja Academy. Fortunately, he awakened the Mentor System.
By teaching others, he could earn rewards.
Thus began Kyoichi's career as a "teacher" in the ninja world.
Shisui: "Sensei's unique interpretation of the Will of Fire has given the Uchiha Clan a true sense of direction!"
Asuma: "The essence of the jade lies in protecting the people, with the advanced leading the way for the less experienced. Only then can Konoha become stronger!"
Kakashi: "He's my life mentor. He transformed Konoha!"
...
Years later, in the memoirs of Kyoichi, now the Hokage, he wrote:
"I honestly just wanted to be a life mentor!"
