My friend said, "I didn't mean anything by it, it's just that your progress is too slow."
"When are you finally going to confess? Is it not going to be a no-go?"
"Oh, it'll be done soon," Sarutobi Asuma said dismissively.
Thinking of Kurenai's beautiful appearance in her red dress, his heart warmed. To hold such a figure in his arms would be a scene even more blissful than a dream.
His hands clenched unconsciously, his gaze fixed on the direction where Kurenai Yuhi had disappeared, and he muttered something under his breath.
"Don't give me any random advice."
"I have my own rhythm."
Chapter 355 The Temperamental Crimson Yuhi
Yuhi's house.
In the quiet room, Shinku sat cross-legged on the floor, eyes closed and focused. A faint scent of incense wafted in the air, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
Of course, that was during normal times.
Today is unusual.
As Shinku sat on the cushion, his usually calm thoughts remained unsettled, his brows furrowing frequently, which was seriously hindering his illusion training.
He opened his eyes listlessly when the incense burned out.
"Forget it, I'm not practicing today."
"I can't keep practicing."
"It's Kurenai Yuhi," she muttered to herself.
He knew exactly why he was upset—his beloved daughter hadn't come home yet.
Although it was still early, he couldn't calm down; every time he closed his eyes, he saw the image of the setting sun.
Sitting relaxed, Shinobu Yuhi looked at the clock on the wall.
"We set off in the afternoon and didn't get back until evening."
"That brat Asuma, why does it take him so long to celebrate his birthday?"
"So annoying."
Sullenly, Shinku got up, walked to the refrigerator, took out a glass of iced soda, and gulped down a large mouthful.
I felt a little better.
But as time went by, frustration gradually rose from the bottom of my heart.
"They wouldn't be drinking, would they?" Kurenai Yuhi muttered to herself, then dismissed the idea: "Probably not, Kurenai is so sensible, she wouldn't drink with people."
"But then again... wouldn't Hong be unhappy if other people drank?"
"I really want to go and see it~" Yuhi Makotsu twirled around in the living room.
He wanted to go and see, but then felt it wasn't appropriate for him to go. After all, Sarutobi Asuma was his junior and also Sarutobi Hiruzen's son; it wouldn't look good if word got out.
But just sitting at home anxiously isn't a solution.
After spinning around in place a few times, Kurenai Yuhi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"There is."
He found a discarded cardboard box in a corner of his house, then found some red ribbon, threw in a razor he hadn't used before, and tied it up.
Looking at the box in front of her that resembled a 'gift', Kurenai Yuhi nodded in satisfaction.
“Very good, very good. I saw it at home and was worried that Hong might have left the gift at home, so I, as her father, went to deliver it to her.”
"And the razor is also quite suitable for Asuma." Kurenai Yuhi thought she was extremely clever.
The reason "Dad is giving his daughter a gift that she might have forgotten" is perfect!
With the gift box containing the razor in hand, Yuhi Shinku dressed and left home, heading towards Sarutobi's house.
On the way, he said to himself, "I won't stay there long, I'll just take a look and leave."
"That brat Asuma shouldn't go too far!"
"I wonder how he'll react when he sees me." Yuhi Shinku had been young once too, and he knew very well what it was like when the girl's parents came to a gathering of young men and women. Imagining the expression Sarutobi Asuma might make later, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hehe...uh..." The smile froze on her face.
On the bustling street, Kurenai Yuhi stopped in confusion, looking at a lone figure strolling in the distance. He blinked, making sure he wasn't mistaken.
"Asuma?"
Hearing someone call his name, Sarutobi Asuma, who was strolling around, looked in the direction of the voice. When he saw Yuhi Shinku holding a small gift box, he quickly put on an eager expression.
"Uncle Zhenhong".
"What a coincidence, you're out for a stroll too."
The sunset is really red: "..."
After a three-second silence, Kurenai Yuhi frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Sarutobi Asuma: "?"
Looking at Kurenai Yuhi's furrowed brows, Asuma Sarutobi was filled with doubt.
Why does the other person seem so unhappy with him?
Even if I'm annoyed, Konoha Street isn't yours to run, so why can't I stroll around?
Thinking this to himself, he said respectfully, "Oh, it's not very interesting at home, so I came out for a walk to clear my head."
"Uncle Zhen Hong, what about you? Are you going to see a friend?"
Kurenai Yuhi did not answer.
Looking at Sarutobi Asuma strolling around alone in front of him, a bad feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.
"Where does it go?"
She said it's your birthday today, shouldn't you be at a party?
Sarutobi Asuma asked, puzzled, "A gathering?"
"It ended a long time ago."
"Hong said she had an important mission and left first."
"Uncle Zhenhong, are you in a hurry to find her?"
urgent!
Crimson Yuhi is in a hurry!
Upon hearing Sarutobi Asuma's reply, he immediately realized something very serious—his beloved daughter had lied to him.
She told herself she was going to a birthday party that night, but told the silly boy in front of her that she had an important mission that night.
He wasn't stupid; seeing Kurenai change clothes several times before leaving, he knew she couldn't be going on a mission. —What mission requires wearing a red dress?!
If it wasn't a mission or a friend's birthday party, what was Kurenai Yuhi doing, dressed so beautifully, at this special time of night?
The old father's heart suddenly clenched.
"...Uncle? Are you alright?" Sarutobi Asuma noticed Yuhi Shinku's suddenly heavy breathing and asked with some concern.
Upon hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi first closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes, looking solemnly at Asuma Sarutobi.
He grabbed the other man's shoulder and said, enunciating each word clearly, "What did Hong say to you today?"
Tell me everything without missing a single word!
Sarutobi Asuma, somewhat frightened, seeing that Yuhi Kurenai was clearly in an abnormal state, quickly recounted his conversation with her earlier that day.
Kurenai Yuhi's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's. After a moment, she asked, "That's it?"
Sarutobi Asuma nodded repeatedly: "That's all, that's all."
Kurenai Yuhi: "Who is Nebula?"
"The Divine Moon Nebula?"
Sarutobi Asuma nodded: "That's right."
"Shingetsu Nebula, my classmate (teammate) when I graduated with Red."
"But he didn't come today. It seems like he has something important to do."
The sun sets, its crimson squinting.
He believed Sarutobi Asuma's words. He treated all the judgments offered by the other party as utter nonsense.
The Divine Moon Nebula.
In Sarutobi Asuma's words, they were just his and Yuhi Kurenai's partners and friends, but in his heart, it was something else entirely.
At this moment, he gradually remembered that at home, his beloved daughter mentioned the word "Nebula" far more often than Asma did in front of him.
'Nebula is already a Jonin, that's awesome.'
'If it weren't for Nebula, our situation on the battlefield would likely have been much more dangerous.'
'Thanks to Nebula.'
'Asuma, that idiot, has lost his mind again. Thank goodness for Nebula…'
One by one, details he had overlooked were recalled under his powerful mental strength. Kurenai Yuhi's gaze grew sharper, and the faint glint in it startled Asuma Sarutobi, who was standing beside her.
Suddenly, Kurenai Yuhi's gaze fell upon him, and Asuma Sarutobi's heart skipped a beat.
"Tell me the places where the Divine Moon Nebula usually frequents!"
"Also, I remember he's had quite a few girlfriends, right? Tell me their names too!"
Sarutobi Asuma: "Uncle Crimson, you don't suspect Crimson and Nebula, do you?"
"No, between them..."
"Tell me!!" Kurenai Yuhi shouted. Asuma Sarutobi and the surrounding pedestrians were startled.
