Naruto: First Love

Chapter 179 For You

After Konohamaru left, Huo Wu sighed and prepared to serve tea. But the next second, she paused again because someone came.

"Huo Wu, what's wrong with your eyes?" Asuma stepped in, voice filled with worry.

There was no attempt at disguising or euphemism. Huo Wu knew that he had seen through it, so she did not hide it. "It's overused. It will heal soon."

"Then you can stay with Hong for the next few days. She lives alone there..."

Asuma guessed that Huo Wu had just come out of the hospital and now had difficulty seeing, so she needed someone to take care of her. If she stayed with Kakashi, it would be very inconvenient, and she would need help with washing and dressing, and someone to lead her when traveling. As a same-sex person, Hong would naturally be the most suitable.

Huo Wu shook her head and refused. "No, Hong should stay to take care of you."

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Asuma's weathered face. "Why take care of me? I'm not injured."

"You are heartbroken." Huo Wu interrupted him firmly.

Of course he was injured. The third generation grandfather died. Wasn't he the saddest? When Konohamaru first came, Huo Wu could hear that his voice was still a little hoarse. He must have cried too much. How much better would Asuma be?
Asuma paused and did not answer.

"I'm sorry about the Third Generation Grandpa. I thought he would be saved..." Huo Wu felt a little uncomfortable when she mentioned the Third Generation. Her nose was itchy. "What if... Asuma, you must not get into trouble!"

Asuma smoked a cigarette, a little dull, "Don't worry about it, Huo Wu, it has nothing to do with you. The Sandaime was killed by Orochimaru, he died for Konoha."

Huo Wu suddenly remembered that when she woke up, she heard some people talking about the death of the Third Hokage. Maybe some people don’t agree that the Third Hokage died for Konoha?
Orochimaru was the disciple of the Third Hokage's grandfather and a rebel ninja of Konoha. The Third Hokage spared Orochimaru, but he was not grateful and ran away to cause trouble. Even though people were sent to capture Orochimaru later, they failed. Now, Orochimaru is carrying out a plan to destroy Konoha again. Some people cannot do anything to Orochimaru, so they blame the Third Hokage for their hatred and think that the Third Hokage deserves to die.

But I guess that is only a small number of people, and there may also be Danzo who is causing trouble among them.

The new Hokage is probably already being discussed, but Huo Wu still believes that Tsunade is more popular than Danzo.

Danzo has the means, but at this time, what Konoha needs is not a Hokage who has the means, but a Hokage who can make people feel at ease.

Danzo is a demon, but he cannot become Hokage.

There is no need to let Asuma know these.

"Well, go ahead and do your work. Kakashi's place is pretty good."

"But..." Asuma wanted to ask, what if I take a bath with clothes on?

However, before he could finish, Konohamaru's voice came from outside: "Uncle Asuma, it's time to go."

go?
Huo Wu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant.

Asma suddenly remembered that he was here to call Huo Wu to go to the funeral.

But Huo Wu has eye problems right now, so it’s better if she doesn’t go.

Without saying anything more, he walked outside, "Then I'll be leaving first."

Huo Wu responded but didn't care. Sasuke was already here anyway.

Before we went to the memorial, it started to rain.

Sasuke was a little hesitant. Should he go home? They were all newly ill.

Huo Wu sensed that it was raining, and after thinking for a while, she let Sasuke go to the memorial by himself while she returned to the hospital.

Sasuke wanted to send Huo Wu to the hospital, but Huo Wu refused.

"You go first and come pick me up after it's over." Huo Wu smiled, not at all unnatural. "Remember to tell Kakashi."

Sasuke was a little puzzled, and then he thought that Huo Wu seemed to have a very good relationship with Kakashi. Kakashi would know everything first, and she had a tacit understanding with Kakashi. If there was any secret between the two of them that he didn't know, she would probably talk to Kakashi, right?
Although I was a little unhappy, I still agreed.

After Sasuke left, Huo Wu held up the oil-paper umbrella, turned around, looked towards the corner, and said in a cool voice, "Come out."

A sneer came from the corner, and then a man in a black ninja uniform came out. His face was covered, so his features could not be seen clearly. "It seems that the blood of the Senju family has given you excellent sensing abilities."

The man's voice was hoarse and it was difficult to tell whether it was his or her gender. It was obviously an intentional act and it was not his natural voice.

Huo Wu couldn't see the person's face, so she didn't know whether he was a man or a woman.

The chakra was very gray and had a smell that Huo Wu didn't like.

However, this is another person who knows the bloodline of the Senju family. Is he Danzo’s man or Orochimaru’s?
Huo Wu thought for a moment, turned her head away, and lowered the brim of her umbrella, trying not to let the other person see her eyes. "Why are you here?"

"It's for you, of course."

This statement is very ambiguous, but Huo Wu would not think it means "like" or something like that. Perhaps, it is also for the Sharingan, or the Thousand Hands bloodline?
"For my what? Blood? Or eyes?"

The man chuckled and said sarcastically, "What do you think?"

Huo Wu blinked, she naturally didn’t know.

"But unfortunately, I won't give it to you." No matter which one you asked for, Huo Wu wouldn't give it to you.

"Then it's not up to you." Before the cold smile bloomed, heavy rain poured down and a figure came from far away.

Huo Wu's eyelids twitched. Kakashi?
Sasuke was really dedicated. He asked him to tell Kakashi, and Kakashi really came, and he came before the funeral was even completed.

Seeing Kakashi coming, the man reacted quickly, rushed over and sprinkled a handful of powder at Huo Wu.

Huo Wu could only sense the direction of the opponent's attack through the sound of the wind and chakra, so she was unable to avoid it. When she instantly flew towards Kakashi's direction, she landed on a roof and could not stand for a while and fell down.

The oil-paper umbrella slowed down Huo Wu's descent, and the man followed at the same time. This time, it was almost silent, and the same chakra came from several directions!

This person reacted very quickly. Huo Wu was sure that she had not revealed her blindness before, and it must have been discovered when she teleported.

In just a split second, the opponent reacted and used a shadow clone, making her unable to tell from which direction the opponent was attacking, nor which one of them was the real one.

Because it is almost certain that it is the same chakra, and when one person's chakra is divided into multiple ones, the Shadow Clone Technique is the easiest to achieve.

Using the shadow avatar, Huo Wu began to suspect that this person was from Konoha, possibly from Root.

However, looking at the amount of chakra, it is divided into three. This person's chakra is not very strong, it should be considered average, so it is probably the chakra of an ordinary elite jonin.
