He didn't dare delay and hurriedly told the other party what he knew.

Kurenai Yuhi grabbed Asuma Sarutobi by the collar.

"Let's talk as we walk!"

Chapter 356 Red Background

There was none at Shenyue Xingyun's house.

There is no training ground in Konoha!

Kurenai Yuhi unleashed her senses, searching every possible location the Shingetsu Nebula might have entered or exited. After discovering that the information provided by Asuma Sarutobi was worthless, she began the elaborate process of searching for Asuma's ex-girlfriends.

Where did you two usually go on dates?

"Please tell me, this is a father's request."

Kurenai Yuhi's aura was very impatient; he was even prepared to break the rules and use illusion magic if no one told him otherwise.

Whether it was good luck or something else, the girl he came to saw his anxious expression and the wrinkles on his face, and with a look of either amusement or gossip, she eventually told him the answer.

By combining the answers from several different objects, Yuhi Shinku obtained the two most likely solutions.

Both families lived in small bamboo houses.

Besides that, there's a small garden on the back hill, and a grassy area by the river...

Both families were ruled out first. Yuhi Shinku came from her home, and apart from Shinzuki Izumo who knew nothing, Shinzuki Seiun was not found in Shinzuki Seiun's home.

The small garden on the back hill and the grassy area by the river should not pose much of a danger, so... a small bamboo house!

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Asuma Sarutobi: "Do you know that little bamboo house?"

Sarutobi Asuma: "Huh? What? What braised pig?"

The sunset is really red: "..."

Cursing under her breath that she was an idiot, Kurenai loosened her grip on Asuma Sarutobi's collar and headed alone towards the back mountain.

Konoha is only so big; as a Jonin who uses genjutsu, he can always find the small bamboo house they mentioned by simply using his senses.

"Hey, Uncle Shinku, wait for me..." With his collar loosened and a sense of freedom returning to his body, Sarutobi Asuma watched Shinku Yuhi run off into the distance, and driven by curiosity, he followed after her.

……

Small bamboo house.

When Kurenai Yuhi arrived, Shingetsu Nebula had already been there for some time.

Although he had many shortcomings in his behavior, he would never be late for such a crucial moment. Not only was he not late, he also made a point of arriving early and cleaning the small bamboo house from the inside out, making it spotless and well-ventilated.

Upgrade from a small bamboo house to a clean and tidy small bamboo house.

She took a clean blanket from her spatial storage and spread it on the tatami mat in the small bamboo house. Shen Yue Xingyun looked it over for a while and felt that something was wrong.

The plain-colored wool blanket didn't quite match the style of the small bamboo house. He thought for a moment, then put the blanket away and took out a large, complete bear skin from his storage space, spreading it out on the tatami mat.

This looks much better.

After lighting the aromatherapy candles and pouring the red wine, and getting everything ready, Kurenai Yuhi arrived.

"Knock knock." A knock sounded on the door, and Shen Yue Xingyun sensed the familiar chakra fluctuations and called out, "Come in."

The door to the small bamboo house was opened, and a gentle breeze carrying the scent of red flowed into the house.

Shen Yue Xingyun turned to look at Xi Ri Hong. When he saw the latter's attire today, even he, with his vast experience, was slightly taken aback.

"You look...beautiful today," he said sincerely.

Kurenai smiled. She was clearly pleased by her beloved's praise.

"Really?" she asked, feigning disbelief.

Shenyue Xingyun: "Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

'Of course you lied to me,' Kurenai thought to herself. 'You were lying to me back then about your hand injury.'

She silently looked up and surveyed the environment inside the bamboo house. It seemed to be largely unchanged from before, with neat bamboo groves and simple furnishings, except for the addition of aromatherapy and red wine.

Her gaze fell on the bear skin on the tatami mat, her face flushed, and she quickly looked away.

"Is this wine for me?" she asked softly.

"Hmm, I don't know if you'll like it," Shenyue Xingyun said. "You can try it, and if you don't like it, you don't have to drink it."

Upon hearing this, Kurenai stepped forward, her slender fingers gently picking up the wine glass and bringing it to her lips.

He lightly licked his lips, savored the taste of the red wine, and then nodded: "Sweet, not bad."

As she spoke, she tilted her head back slightly, emptying the glass of red wine instantly. Her slender neck trembled slightly as the wine flowed down her throat.

She completely forgot that she had just promised Yuhi Makoto during the day that she wouldn't drink alcohol.

"Slow down. Don't drink too much," Shenyue Xingyun said, changing the hand seals.

Outside the small bamboo house, layers of barriers slowly solidified.

With soundproof barriers, chakra isolation barriers, and early warning barriers, the small bamboo house appears to be the same as before from a distance, but Shen Yue Xingyun will detect anyone who approaches immediately.

After the barrier was cast, Shingetsu Seiun looked at Yuhi Kurenai, who had just put down her wine glass and was looking at him with deep, tender eyes.

"what are you doing?"

"Set up the barrier."

A slight smile curved the corners of Yuhi Kurenai's lips as she stepped forward.

"So... even if there's a sound, people outside won't hear it?"

Shenyue Xingyun nodded in response: "Of course."

"Thump, thump, thump..." There seemed to be a vibration in her ears. Kurenai listened carefully and found that it was her own heartbeat.

Whether it was the effect of the alcohol or the atmosphere, Kurenai felt her steps were a little unsteady.

Her legs felt light and weak, as if all her weight was concentrated above her waist, making her feel dizzy even when she took a step.

She approached the Divine Moon Nebula step by step, talking about completely unrelated things.

Why didn't you go to Asuma's birthday party today?

Shingetsu Seiun: "Didn't Asuma like you?"

"It would feel strange for me to go at a time like today, so I'd better not go."

"Something seems off?" Kurenai Yuhi approached Shingetsu Seiun, gently looked up at Shingetsu Seiun's flawless face, and spoke with eyes as gentle as water.

"It's because you're about to say something to the person he likes..." Shinzuki Seiun held up a finger to stop Kurenai Yuhi from saying what she was about to say.

“Let’s not talk about that.” Shenyue Xingyun coughed lightly. “Let’s talk about something else.”

"Let's stop talking." Kurenai Yuhi shook her head. "We've already talked so much, and we still have plenty of time to talk."

"Today, I only want what I want."

"You promised me the fight."

Shenyue Xingyun paused for a moment.

Looking down at Kurenai, he suddenly realized that Kurenai wasn't just wearing a beautiful red dress today.

Black lace patterns can be faintly seen at the collar of the red dress.

He looked down and could only see three colors.

red.

Ruby-like eyes, a bright red skirt.

black.

Black short heels, black lace lining, black eyelashes, long black wavy hair.

There were also dazzling whites interspersed among them.

This outfit was clearly not conducive to ninja combat. But Shingetsu Seiun's heart also started racing.

Sensing the faint approach of the evening glow, and the breath that seemed to waft towards him as she raised her head, he took a step forward.

Intimidated by his imposing presence, Kurenai took a step back.

Go forward again.

Retreat again.

When she took the third step back, Kurenai's legs gave way and she collapsed onto the bearskin.

Then, Shenyue Xingyun keenly discovered that there were not only two red spots—the soles of the shoes were also red.

As Kurenai collapsed to the ground, she noticed Seiun Kamitsuki's gaze and bent down to take off her shoes to avoid getting the bear skin dirty.

"No," Shenyue Xingyun said, stopping her.

Kurenai Yuhi looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Shingetsu Nebula: "Put the shoes on."

Kurenai's expression changed, and her eyes were filled with grievance.

"You changed your mind? But you clearly promised me..."

"Fool, of course not," Shenyue Xingyun said with a smile, trying to reassure him.

He stepped forward and picked up the red item.

"Since this is a battle we're going all out for, how can we go barefoot?"

"This is exactly what I want."

Chapter 357 Taking Action

Although Kurenai Yuhi was wearing clothing unsuitable for ninja combat and had been drinking, Shinzuki Seiun remembered his promise to her and fulfilled her wish to have a real fight.

Inside the bamboo hut, two figures drew closer, their weapons clashing...
