Chapter 153 Happy Asuma
Three minutes later, the two Sand Village ninjas, one seriously injured and the other slightly wounded, both losing an arm, hurriedly retreated to their camp.
Hyuga Hizashi and Shingetsu Seiun calmed their rapid breathing, quickly replenished their rations, and once they felt their strength had recovered somewhat, they began challenging Sunagakure again.
The criticism was mainly directed at Chiyo. Their strategy was: if Sunagakure sent out more than two skilled fighters, they would run; if it was less than two, they would fight.
As time went on, Sunagakure stopped sending people out.
Looking at the quiet Sunagakure camp, Shingetsu Seiun turned to Hyuga Hizashi: "What do we do? Keep yelling?"
Hyuga Hizashi: "I think it's about time. Sunagakure shouldn't send anyone. What do you think?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "I think you're right."
Hyuga Hizashi: "Then deliver the gift Jiraiya prepared."
Shenyue Xingyun: "You have shadow clones, I don't. You can have one."
Hyuga Hizashi: "————" He was very skeptical that someone with Shingetsu Seiun's strength could not create shadow clones.
He shook his head and used his Shadow Clone Technique to deliver the exquisite gift box prepared by Jiraiya to Sunagakure.
Shingetsu Seiun shouted, "This is Tsuna—this is a gift from our Hokage to old lady Chiyo!"
~
"The Hokage said that ninjas who don't even dare to fight should just go home and enjoy their retirement!"
The shadow clone was dealt with by the Sand Village ninja before it could get close to the Sand Village camp, and the exquisite gift box fell to the ground.
The people of Sunagakure did not dare to make a decision on their own. After confirming that there was no danger, they sent someone to take the gift box away.
In the dense forest, beneath a thick layer of dead leaves, figures lay in ambush.
Some of them showed their eyes, while others hid their entire bodies in shadow, even slowing their breathing as much as possible.
They are Konoha's ambush troops.
Within headquarters, almost all of the elite troops were deployed, divided into four battalions. Each battalion was accompanied by at least one Hyuga ninja to scout and ensure the team's safety.
At that moment, among the ambushing troops, a rough figure covered in leaves moved silently.
"Hong, are you hungry?"
"I brought some dry food, would you like some?"
Beside her, Kurenai Yuhi, carefully concealing herself, shook her head slightly.
I'm not hungry.
After a while, Sarutobi Asuma asked again, "Are you thirsty? I brought some water."
"I'm not thirsty."
Are you cold?
"Asuma," Kurenai Yuhi frowned slightly, "I don't need anything."
"Oh~" Sarutobi Asuma closed his mouth somewhat disappointedly.
Actually, he didn't really think that Kurenai was thirsty or hungry; he just wanted to say a few words to her.
Everyone was lying in ambush, and in order not to make too much noise, they needed to get very close to each other when they spoke.
He really enjoyed the feeling of whispering next to Kurenai, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her, and feeling her breath on his face; he felt wonderful.
"No one has ever been this close to Hong as I have," he thought contentedly.
After a moment of silence, Sarutobi Asuma couldn't resist wanting to talk to Kurenai Yuhi again. He moved closer and was about to speak when Kurenai Yuhi spoke first.
"Nebula must be in great danger right now!"
Sarutobi Asuma paused for a moment, then a jealous look appeared on his face.
It wasn't just because Hong missed the other person, but also because of the other person's strength.
A challenge to Chiyo! And this was right in front of the Sunagakure camp. Just hearing the name of this mission, you know that only a highly skilled ninja could complete it.
The other person is about the same age as me, although I am two years older because I repeated a grade, I can only be considered a young adult.
Being able to carry out this kind of mission with a renowned Jonin like Hyuga Hizashi is something to be proud of.
"Don't worry, Kurenai," Sarutobi Asuma said. "Hyuga Hizashi is a renowned expert from the Hyuga branch family. With him here, there will be no danger."
"Hmm." Kurenai Yuhi nodded. "Besides, Nebula's strength shouldn't be weak either. I was overthinking it."
"Nebula's strength is not weak either~" Sarutobi Asuma pursed his lips, muttering to himself.
This guy really did get ahead!
Sarutobi Asuma had mixed feelings.
During his school years, he never took the other person seriously. When they first formed a team after graduation, he was quite resistant to them. Later, he discovered that the other person was actually a little bit stronger than him.
He is confident that he can surpass his opponent in a short time!
But later, as the team's relationship improved, Shen Yue Xingyun's strength also increased.
Not only did he become a special Jonin before him, but his swordsmanship was so outstanding that it was known to everyone on the southwestern front.
He often couldn't sleep at night because of his envy, and sometimes he would dream of his mastery of dual swordsmanship and the magnificent scene of being a powerful figure in the ninja world.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that he seemed a little distracted, Kurenai asked softly.
"I wasn't thinking about anything," Sarutobi Asuma replied, while placing his twin swords in front of him.
Even though the Jonin leading the team are the same person, and I have the advantage of my family background, how come I'm so far behind the other party?
Did Misaka-sensei secretly give the other person extra tutoring?
Or is it that dual swords are simply inferior to a longsword?
No!
Two is definitely better than one! Dual swords should be more powerful than a longsword!
Could it be that my sword is too short?
impossible!
He refused to believe that with his talent, he couldn't catch up with someone who spent most of his energy on dating!
"Red!" he suddenly said, his voice soft but his tone firm.
"After this mission is over, you'll be supervising me!"
Kurenai Yuhi was taken aback: "Supervise you? Supervise what?"
Sarutobi Asuma said, "Aside from eating, sleeping, and using the toilet, I will dedicate all my time to training from now on!"
"I will definitely hone my dual swords skills to be even better than Nebula's!"
"If you find me slacking off in the tent, remind me to go practice my sword skills!"
Upon hearing Sarutobi Asuma's words, Kurenai Yuhi's first thought wasn't the possibility that Asuma's swordsmanship surpassed that of Shinzuki Seiun, but rather some other complex ideas.
If Sarutobi Asuma could go out and practice his sword every day—
"no problem."
"Asuma, don't worry, I'll supervise you every day from now on," Kurenai Yuhi assured her.
Sarutobi Asuma immediately laughed.
Looking at the earnest-looking Kurenai Yuhi in front of him, he felt a warmth in his heart.
"Thank you, Hong."
"It's so good to have you by my side."
"Don't worry, I will definitely work hard and try to catch up with Nebula as soon as possible."
Kurenai nodded: "Yes, I believe you."
"As long as you are more diligent, more hardworking, and dedicate more time to cultivation than Nebula, you will definitely surpass him!"
Hearing his beloved's encouragement, Sarutobi Asuma was overjoyed. If it weren't for the inconvenient location, he would have loved to practice his sword skills right now.
Suppressing his excitement, Sarutobi Asuma secretly felt smug.
"Nebula, just you wait."
"With Hong supporting me, one day I'll be better than you!"
