"Another mission."

Shenyue Xingyun lazily raised her head and picked up the document.

After carefully reading the task details, I casually tossed it aside.

"Let Kakashi carry it out."

Uzuki Yuhi looked at her with an "I knew it" expression and said helplessly, "You've been dumping most of the recent missions on Hatake Kakashi, isn't that a bit much?"

“What’s wrong with that?” Shenyue Xingyun said, “Of the four class monitors, he is the most capable, so it’s perfect to give him the position.”

Uzuki Sunset: "What I mean is—aren't you planning to go out and get some exercise?"

Shingetsu Nebula: "Does eating hot pot count as exercise?"

Upon hearing this, Maoyue Xiyang blushed as she recalled the spiciness of the hot pot.

"But Kakashi Hatake hasn't taken a vacation in half a month."

Aren't you worried that he'll complain?

"Why worry about that?" Shenyue Xingyun said, "Don't worry."

“I didn’t deduct a single penny of his bonus; I even contributed some of it myself.”

"He should be secretly happy to have a direct superior like me while working in the secret service."

As he spoke, he stood up from his chair.

"I'll be going now if there's nothing else. Contact me if you need anything."

Maoyue Sunset: "So early today?"

Shen Yue Xingyun waved her hand without turning her head: "I have an appointment today."

Watching his departing figure, Uzuki Yuhi let out a soft hum.

"Scumbag."

"I should have eaten more earlier."

Chapter 254 I Can't Live Without You

evening.

Shingetsu Seiun and Yuhi Kurenai were eating hot pot at a newly opened hot pot restaurant in Konoha.

It was different from what I ate at sunset just now—

—This time we had clear soup.

Although the taste was just average, the ingredients were quite fresh, and the food consumed a lot of food, so we had a very satisfying meal.

Yuhiko would occasionally serve him food.

Eat slowly, order more if you're still hungry.

"That's enough." Shingetsu Seiun slowed down his eating. He watched Yuhi Kurenai taking small bites and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"By the way, what has Asuma been up to lately?"

"I haven't seen him in a long time."

Kurenai Yuhi said, "He was angry because he didn't even get a Special Jonin title during the recent group commendation. He's been hiding at home practicing his sword lately."

Shingetsu Seiun: "That's a bit off. Asuma's strength is a bit lacking, but giving him a special Jonin wouldn't be a problem."

Kurenai Yuhi: "I heard that the Third Hokage personally drafted the promotion list and specifically removed his name, which is why he was angry."

Shenyue Xingyun: "No wonder."

"By the way, Hong. Haven't you been practicing new illusion magic lately? How's it going?"

Kurenai replied absentmindedly, "It's alright."

"Nebula, where should we go after we finish eating?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "Either way, it's up to you."

Kurenai Yuhi's eyes darted around: "Shall we go to the Valley of the End?"

"The Valley of the End?" Shenyue Xingyun asked doubtfully. "Isn't that a bit far?"

"I only go there because it's far from the village," Kurenai thought to herself as she said, "I want to go there for a stroll."

Shingetsu Nebula: "...Okay."

After they finished eating, the two of them quickened their pace and headed towards the Valley of the End.

Before long, the Valley of the End came into view. The weather was getting colder, and the waterfall's flow was not as abundant, becoming much quieter.

Shingetsu Seiun gazed at the enormous statues of the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, and said, "Kurenai, where do you want to go..."

A sudden pressure came from my back.

Immediately afterwards, Shenyue Xingyun felt a pair of slender arms encircling her.

Shenyue Xingyun stood there, holding up her hands, somewhat at a loss.

Should we untie Kurenai's hands? If we don't, the posture looks awkward. But if we do, won't their contact make things more complicated?

The main reason was that he hadn't expected Kurenai Yuhi to launch a sudden sneak attack.

"Hong, you..."

Shen Yue Xingyun was at a loss for words when Yuhi Kurenai's voice came from behind.

"nebula."

"Ok?"

"What have you been busy with lately? You haven't come to see me for many days."

"I'm... I'm busy with work. As you know, I haven't been in the Dark Division for long, and I have a lot of work to do."

"I don't even have time to leave the office for a short while every day."

"That's why I haven't had time to go out lately."

Kurenai tightened her grip on Shingetsu Seiun's hands.

After a moment, she asked again, "What am I like in your heart?"

Shenyue Xingyun hesitated for a moment.

This is not a good question to answer.

After thinking for a moment, he organized his thoughts and said, "You are a very important person to me."

"Close comrades and partners."

The woman, her voice barely audible, asked, "Besides that?"

“Besides…” Shenyue Xingyun didn’t answer directly. After a pause, he said, “Red.”

"You are the only daughter of the Yuhi family, the darling of Jonin Shinku."

"something……"

"I don't care!" Kurenai Yuhi's hands tightened their grip even more.

Shenyue Xingyun could even feel the uneven pressure on her back.

Kurenai closed her eyes and murmured softly.

"nebula."

"I can't live without you anymore."

A night breeze blew by.

A damp mist, carrying a hint of water from the pool, clung to the two of them.

After saying that, Kurenai seemed to have used up all her strength, and she loosened her grip.

She felt the powerful heartbeat of the Divine Moon Nebula, and suddenly felt a heavy burden lifted from her mind.

Upon seeing the system's notification that the task was completed, Shen Yuexingyun didn't know whether to feel more happy or more emotional.

How could someone remain unmoved by a girl's genuine emotions unless they were utterly numb?

A sense of guilt, like frost, slowly condensed in his heart. The more intense Yuhi Kurenai's emotions were, the more the frost of guilt condensed.

He could only keep reminding himself of this.

'Stay calm! Stay calm!'

'Don't easily believe a woman's sweet words.'

Zhang Wuji's mother once said, "The prettier the girl, the more likely she is to lie to you on dates. They can make you feel happy, but they can also leave you heartbroken."

Hold on! You haven't wronged anyone.

He kept reminding himself that once his feelings had calmed down, he thought to himself:

Choose to increase illusion resistance.
