Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it

After entering, the three waited quietly, even Sarutobi Asuma looked somewhat reserved. Having witnessed the terrifying sea of ​​snakes yesterday, he felt even more pressure facing Orochimaru than facing the Hokage.

After looking at the map for a while, Orochimaru turned to examine the three of them, lingering particularly on Shingetsu Seiun's face, his snake-like eyes showing obvious surprise.

His voice had a unique husky quality: "You all did a very good job."

“I have reviewed the battle logs. You detected the enemy’s attacks in time twice in a row, and you were the only sentry to sound the alarm yesterday.”

"very good."

Before anyone could respond, he continued, "Yesterday's warning will be recorded as merit for an A-rank mission. Everyone will be reinstated to Chunin status."

Sarutobi Asuma's face immediately lit up with joy.

Restoring Chunin status is one aspect, but more importantly, it's the merit earned from an A-rank mission. This is genuine frontline combat merit.

"Kamizuki Nebula, promoted to Special Jonin."

Sarutobi Asuma's smile froze on his face.

Shingetsu Seiun was also somewhat surprised. He had only recently become a Chunin, and the other party had promoted him to Special Jonin with just a casual remark?

He looked up in surprise and found that several Jonin in the tent also had strange expressions, but none of them voiced any objection.

Orochimaru's lips curled into a smile-like expression: "I've seen your performance; you're quite strong."

Shingetsu Seiun respectfully said, "Thank you, Lord Orochimaru."

Orochimaru didn't waste too much time with them. After announcing the new defense zone appointments, the three left the main tent.

Throughout the journey, Sarutobi Asuma kept his head down as much as possible, not wanting the two of them to see his unhappiness.

He knew that Shenyue Xingyun was stronger and performed better than him, and had even saved him several times, but he was still unhappy.

"Asuma, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Nebula has been promoted to Special Jonin, aren't you happy?" Kurenai Yuhi asked from the side.

Sarutobi Asuma immediately looked up and forced a smile that was neither good nor bad: "No."

"I'm very happy."

Chapter 111 Two Women's Private Talk

Kurenai Yuhi smiled, clearly understanding his feelings. She then looked at the silent Shingetsu Seiun beside her.

"Nebula, aren't you happy either? Especially the Jonin~"

Shingetsu Seiun said, "Special Jonin, far inferior to Jonin."

"Moreover, the next mission will likely be even more dangerous."

The squad was reinstated to Chunin status at the base, and he was promoted to Special Jonin, from which point on he was directly under the command of the Jonin squad leader.

The sentry duty is no longer necessary; assassinations, attacks, reconnaissance, and guarding important supplies are all extremely dangerous.

The only advantage is that he has a much wider range of movement within the camp. He can travel to most places, except for critical areas.

After finding the Jonin squad leader and accepting his assignment, and settling into the new base, Shingetsu Seiun said to the two, "You two rest first, I'll go out for a bit."

As Sarutobi Asuma prepared to begin practicing his swordsmanship, he instinctively asked, "Where are you going?"

Shingetsu Seiun: "When dealing with special Jonin, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

Sarutobi Asuma: "..."

"Tch~" After Shingetsu Seiun left, Sarutobi Asuma swung his twin swords forcefully, as if Shingetsu Seiun were standing in front of him.

"When I become Hokage, I'll definitely assign you to shovel manure!"

"Don't ask me why, because you shouldn't ask the Hokage what he does."

A few minutes later, Sarutobi Asuma, who was already in a fantasy of defeating Shingetsu Hoshi, did not notice the approaching footsteps behind him.

"Asuma, you've been working really hard lately."

"Ah!" Sarutobi Asuma was startled, leaping forward and turning to raise his twin swords. But upon seeing who it was, he reluctantly lowered them.

"Mikoto-sensei".

"Why didn't you say hello before you came? You scared me to death."

"You're just too timid." Uchiha Mikoto smiled and walked into the tent with Sarutobi Asuma. Looking at Yuhi Kurenai practicing genjutsu, she nodded and then asked, "Where's Nebula?"

"Where did you go?"

Sarutobi Asuma said, "I just went out."

He thought to himself, "He's probably hanging out with some girlfriend right now."

Although he didn't inform on her, Mikoto Uchiha immediately guessed what Shingetsu Seiun had gone to do.

She sighed, "Xingyun is excellent in every way, but in her personal life... she's a bit too casual."

"I don't know how those girls can stand it..." She paused, then seemed to remember something and gently bit her lip.

Shaking her head to suppress her wandering thoughts, she began to ask the two if they had encountered any difficulties in their recent training. She had been on a mission when Orochimaru summoned Shingetsu Seiun and the others, and had only come to check on them as soon as she returned, just to offer them some guidance on their training.

……

"Kanako, what do you do when you're with Seiun?"

"Kanako, when did you get together with Nebula?"

"Kanako, what's your favorite thing about Nebula?"

Inside a tent at the campsite, Kanako smiled awkwardly.

She somewhat regretted letting Shiori Muto into her tent.

There weren't many female ninjas in the camp to begin with, and even fewer of them were of the same rank. Plus, she had just gone through a major battle, so she hoped to have a girl her age to talk to.

Unexpectedly, not long after entering, Mutou Saika, after a few casual words, brought up her relationship with Kamitsuki Seiun.

She had no choice but to say, "Caixiang, wasn't Damu seriously injured?"

"He's your teammate, aren't you going to worry about him?"

"He had several fractures, but the medical ninjas at the base have already bandaged him up. They've also checked on him." Mutou Saika gave a brief reply, then asked again, "Kanako, tell me quickly, how do you and Nebula usually get along?"

Kanako looked troubled: "Saika, these topics... aren't they a bit too personal?"

"Oh, what's the big deal?" Muto Saika said. "What's our relationship? It's no big deal to talk about it."

What's the relationship? Kanako looked puzzled.

They were just ninjas from the same year and who had fought in the same camp area.

“We’re girls, boys can’t talk about these things. What do girls have to say?” Muto Saika asked, her face full of curiosity.

Kanako smiled helplessly.

Yes, it's common for girls to say these things. But you're Nebula's ex-girlfriend!

Don't you think it's a bit abrupt to ask me these questions?

Seeing that Muto Saika seemed completely oblivious, she thought for a moment and decided to take the initiative.

"Caixiang, before answering your question, can you answer one of my questions first?"

Muto Saika replied without hesitation, "Sure, go ahead and ask."

Why did you and Nebula break up?

"..."

"What, is it inconvenient for you to say? It's okay if it's inconvenient."

Muto Saika hesitated and said, "N-nothing."

"The pressure from my family was too great back then, so I had no choice but to break up with him."

"You brought it up?" Kanako's eyes widened. She simply couldn't understand how someone with a perfect boyfriend like Shinzuki Seiun, who had no flaws except for being a little bit of a womanizer, could be willing to break up with him.

She pressed further, "What kind of pressure?"

"It's because of Nebula's girlfriend..."

Muto Saika nodded: "That's part of the reason."

"Also, Nebula's strength was too weak at the time, and I felt there was no future with him."

As she spoke, Muto Saika lowered her head dejectedly.

Kanako looked sympathetic.

Considering Shenyue Xingyun's recent display of strength and his recent battlefield encounters, she knew without asking that he must be regretting it.

A moment later, Muto Saika looked up: "Kanako, answer my question."

"I haven't heard any news about Nebula for a long time."

Kanako hesitated for a moment, then, faced with Muto Saika's pitiful gaze, she could only say a few words.

"Actually... it's nothing really."

"When I'm with Nebula, we do things that are good for our health and positive. Like watering the grass on the back hill..."

As they were talking, the curtain was suddenly opened.

The two were immediately startled, but when they saw who it was, Kanako's eyes lit up with a dazzling light.

"nebula!"

As she spoke, she had already gotten up and flown over.

Savoring the familiar scent, Kanako murmured, "Nebula, what brings you here?"

"Have you switched defense zones?"

Shenyue Xingyun smiled and said, "I promise you."

"Now I can move around between the camps and come find you as soon as possible."

Kanako was thrilled. She hadn't expected that the happiness she was promised would come so quickly.

Beside her, Muto Saika looked on with envy mixed with loneliness as she quietly left the tent.
