Chapter 105 I'm the Captain
The ninjas were roaring, and blood was splattering.
People die every moment.
The three kept an eye on each other and moved around constantly as the battlefield situation changed. With Shingetsu Seiun as the leader, they would move with Yuhi Kurenai and the other two wherever they found a battle area where the intensity of the fighting was controllable and where most of the combat was between genin.
Sarutobi Asuma had some objections to this, but he didn't say much in the tense battle. He simply tried his best to stand beside Shingetsu Seiun when the enemy attacked, sharing the pressure with him as a way of repaying the other party for his help several times.
At one moment, Sarutobi Asuma suddenly noticed that in the battle not far away, several Iwagakure ninjas were besieging a Konoha ninja, and a thought immediately struck him.
With his hands forming a hand seal, chakra rapidly surged and accumulated.
Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!
Smoke billowed from his mouth, instantly enveloping several Iwagakure genin. The Iwagakure genin seemed to have never seen this kind of ninjutsu before, and thought it was just a way to confuse their vision. Just as they were about to wave their hands to disperse the smoke, Sarutobi Asuma decisively ignited it.
"Boom!!~" A burst of fire erupted.
Amidst the deafening roar, several Iwagakure genin were thrown out by the blast wave. Sarutobi Asuma excitedly prepared to end the enemy's life with his shuriken, but when he saw the gruesome state of the enemy after the explosion, his heart trembled, and he suddenly bent over.
"6
"yue"
"~
He dry heaved, feeling his stomach churning.
As for the few enemies who rushed out from the flames, they were easily dealt with by the Konoha ninjas and Shingetsu Seiun, but Shingetsu Seiun did not show any joy on his face.
Because Sarutobi Asuma's performance was too eye-catching.
Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning might seem like just an ordinary B-rank ninjutsu to Sarutobi Asuma, something he could easily find in his home storeroom, but it was far too conspicuous on the battlefield.
Among a group of ninjas wielding kunai and throwing shuriken, Sarutobi Asuma's fire release technique was considered a relatively large-scale ninjutsu, and the violent explosion instantly attracted the attention of the enemy ninjas.
Shingetsu Seiun quickly became alert. He grabbed Sarutobi Asuma by the collar, shouted "Go!" to Yuhi Kurenai, and then retreated.
Seeing two ninjas who were clearly not genin approaching rapidly from the crowd, Shingetsu Seiun tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword slightly, ready to unleash his power at any moment.
Fortunately, the other party did not actually catch up.
Because the Iwagakure ninjas have begun to retreat.
After the chaotic battle continued for some time, the Iwagakure ninjas, lacking advantages in ambushes, numbers, and terrain, quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
The commanding ninjas sent out a signal, and whether they were fighting or searching for opponents, they were to retreat swiftly without hesitation.
The scene was littered with corpses and chaos.
into the night.
After a brief rest, the bodies of both sides were buried, and the wounded began to be treated. Amidst the still strong smell of blood, the ninjas went to their camp to rest.
Sarutobi Asuma, who had been vomiting, had recovered and was now somewhat excited.
"Red Nebula."
"I heard that you can earn merit points for completing guard duties well."
"We discovered the enemy ahead of time and gave the main force of the camp time to prepare, so it can even be considered a B-level mission."
Kurenai Yuhi wasn't very interested in this, and her expression wasn't good. The previous battle had been too intense, and she hadn't yet recovered from the fierce fighting on the battlefield.
Shenyue Xingyun, however, was contemplating something else.
"Asma."
Sarutobi Asuma was taken aback: "What's wrong, Nebula?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "From now on, you are not allowed to make decisions on your own without my orders."
Sarutobi Asuma asked, puzzled, "What decision?"
Shenyue Xingyun said, "You shouldn't have used Fire Release today. Because of your actions, the team was almost in danger."
Sarutobi Asuma: "But our people are in danger, we can't just stand by and do nothing, can we? I clearly have the ability to save them."
"You have the ability?" Shingetsu Seiun's gaze was serious. "After using a B-rank ninjutsu, how much chakra do you have left?"
"Do you know that because of your ninjutsu, we will attract the attention of the enemy's experts?"
"If we attract Jonin, can you protect yourself? Can you protect Kurenai?"
Upon hearing the name Kurenai Yuhi, Sarutobi Asuma suddenly felt a little less confident.
He stammered, "I just felt it was worth the risk."
Shenyue Xingyun said seriously, "I am the captain."
"Only I am qualified to take the risk."
Sarutobi Asuma: "————"
"You wait, once I surpass you, I'll definitely take the captain's position."
Shen Yue Xingyun's expression softened, and he said, "As long as you defeat me, I'll give you the captain's position anytime."
After this raid, Sarutobi Asuma improved a lot; at least when on duty, he no longer dared to be careless.
For a period afterward, the Iwagakure forces did not launch any further raids. However, the Konoha forces organized a counterattack. Kamizuki Seiun's squad was also part of the counterattack, though not at the forefront. Throughout the battle, Kamizuki Seiun, along with Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai, tried to control the pace of the battle, occasionally rescuing their teammates, prioritizing minimizing the danger rather than focusing on kill counts.
To this end, he even prepared a mask identical to Kakashi's, just to prevent enemies from noticing him because of his appearance.
To his slight relief, Sarutobi Asuma finally stopped being in such a hurry to show off. During battles, he followed his instructions, using shuriken and dual swords as much as possible, and avoiding the use of high-energy ninjutsu unless in danger.
After returning to camp after the battle, he began to focus on his training.
While on duty, Shenyue Xingyun practiced hand seals, and he also practiced hand seals.
During breaks, he would find opportunities to practice his knife skills. Since the space inside the tent was a bit small, he would go outside to practice.
Sometimes when he gets bored practicing alone, he'll invite Shenyue Xingyun to join him.
"Nebula, why don't you come out and practice your swordsmanship?"
"Even on the front lines, we can't neglect our training."
Shenyue Nebula usually refuses.
"Never mind, Asuma."
"You can practice by yourself, I'm a little tired. Once you've finished practicing, I'll wait for you to take over the captain's position."
Sarutobi Asuma smiled gently: "I will do it as soon as possible."
Tell me, and practice even harder.
Inside the tent.
Kurenai's breathing quickened slightly.
Hearing the constant whooshing sounds outside the tent, she looked at the Divine Moon Nebula in front of her with some worry.
"nebula."
"We're so close, won't we be discovered?"
Shenyue Xingyun continued moving: "Probably not."
"But if you're worried, we can find another time."
Kurenai Yuhi pursed her lips: "Hmm—I think I'll pass."
"Your hand is more important; don't let it hurt again later."
Shenyue Xingyun: "Alright then, I'll listen to you, Hong."
A moment later, Kurenai Yuhi said in a trembling voice, "Nebula, be careful of Asuma."
Shenyue Xingyun: "And what about you?"
Kurenai Yuhi's eyes were glazed over: "I—I'm just spacing out for a bit."
As she spoke, she skillfully picked up a folded handkerchief and put it in her mouth.
