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

When Sarutobi Asuma reappeared before her, Kurenai Yuhi was startled.

"Asuma?"

"What’s wrong with you!?"

The man who appeared before her was Sarutobi Asuma, with sunken eyes and a bluish complexion. His hair, which was originally styled to be slicked back, was now unkempt and looked like that of a beggar, and his beard was even more unkempt.

They acted as if the other person hadn't been seen for more than a few days, but had been wandering for months.

Sarutobi Asuma did not answer Kurenai Yuhi's question, but simply said, "What are you doing here?"

Kurenai Yuhi: "I... was worried about you, so I came to find you."

Sarutobi Asuma's eyes flickered.

"I am fine."

"You go."

After saying that, he was about to close the door. Kurenai hurriedly said, "Wait a minute."

Sarutobi Asuma paused in his movements.

Kurenai Yuhi: "Asuma, I didn't mean to hurt you."

"I've always loved Nebula."

Sarutobi Asuma's hand, which was holding the door, twitched slightly.

He said quietly, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Kurenai thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry."

"Asma, as a friend, I hope you won't be sad because of me."

“We are both young. I have my life, and you have your future. It’s not worth hurting your body for someone else.”

"Cheer up, there will definitely be someone more suitable for you on the road ahead."

She spoke with genuine sincerity, without the slightest pretense.

Sarutobi Asuma's breathing became erratic. He stared silently at Kurenai Yuhi before him, the words "You should leave" stuck in his throat, unable to escape his lips.

In the past, he would have been overjoyed if the other party had taken the initiative to contact him, but now, all that remains is heartache.

Faced with Kurenai's concern, he couldn't tell whether he felt gratified or sad. He only felt that there was still a block of ice in his heart that couldn't be melted, freezing his heart and soul.

This solid ice formed outside the small bamboo house that night, and it has become increasingly solid over time.

He didn't even know how he had spent the past two days; he had simply locked himself in his room, neither eating nor drinking, neither thirsty nor hungry, only experiencing an emptiness and chill that came from his very soul.

“Red,” he said softly.

As the words left my chest, I felt a sudden warmth in my eyes.

His eyes, which had already cried countless times, welled up with tears again. He quickly turned his head away, not wanting Kurenai to see his vulnerable side.

The words she was about to say, "Is it really impossible for us?" were swallowed back by tears.

He suddenly realized that asking these questions was pointless.

On his birthday, Kurenai Yuhi was dressed in a beautiful red dress in a simple little bamboo house... how could she possibly give him a chance?

He suddenly realized that Kurenai Yuhi had never owed him anything.

Just because you like someone doesn't mean they have to accept you. A girl as outstanding as Yuhi Kurenai certainly has the right to choose the person she likes.

It was my fault.

Trying hard to open his eyes, even though the scenery in front of him was blurry, he didn't close them to let the tears fall. Sarutobi Asuma spoke with his back to Yuhi Kurenai.

"why."

Why a nebula?

Kurenai Yuhi: "...I love him. I can't live without him."

Sarutobi Asuma: "o(╥﹏╥)o..."

The door was slowly and firmly closed by Sarutobi Asuma.

Outside the door, Kurenai looked ashamed.

Inside the door, Sarutobi Asuma looked up at the sky with teary eyes.

However, there were simply too many tears. Even when he raised his head to try and hold them back, it was to no avail. On the contrary, as he looked up, the tears rolled down his cheeks, splashed dust on the ground, and then slowly dissipated in the sunlight.

Why, why?!

Why the two of them of all!

One was a comrade-in-arms who had gone through life and death together, and the other was his dream goddess. The combination of the two made Sarutobi Asuma even more tormented.

He looked up at the sun, a silent cry escaping his lips.

Why was I given this fate?

Why would you rather like the fickle Nebula than choose your own deep and pure feelings?

'Damn it~'

...

Kurenai Yuhi was overcome with guilt.

Just as she was thinking about how to comfort her friend or which friend to introduce to the other person, Sarutobi Asuma reappeared in front of her two days later.

This time, however, the other person was no longer a homeless person. His beard was neatly shaved, his face was clean, and his hairstyle was neat.

He smiled and spoke to Kurenai.

"red."

"I'm leaving."

Chapter 361 Farewell

"Are you going?"

Kurenai Yuhi was stunned. Coming to her senses from Sarutobi Asuma's dramatic transformation, she asked blankly, "Where are we going?"

Sarutobi Asuma: "I don't know."

"The ninja world is so vast, there must be places worth visiting."

Kurenai Yuhi: "But... what about the village?"

"Don't you care about these companions?"

Sarutobi Asuma gazed tenderly at Yuhi Kurenai.

He said softly, "The village and my friends are here. I can come back anytime I want."

"Besides, the village won't be affected much by having one more or one less of me."

Kurenai Yuhi: "But..." She wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.

After all, she might be the one who hurt the other party the most.

Sarutobi Asuma: "Alright, Kurenai, I understand what you mean."

"I don't blame you, or anyone else. I've known for a long time that I like you because you're so great. I can like you, and of course you can like anyone else. I'm not angry. I just want to leave here and go for a walk."

Kurenai Yuhi remained silent. After a moment, she asked, "Who did you tell about this?"

“My friends all said they support me and want me to go out and clear my head.”

Kurenai Yuhi: "Didn't the Hokage stop you?"

Sarutobi Asuma's smile faded slightly: "He told me to get lost."

Kurenai Yuhi: "..."

"Should I tell Nebula that you've left?"

Sarutobi Asuma shook his head: "No need."

Just as Kurenai's eyes darkened, he spoke up: "I'll go find him right away, talk to him in person, and then I'll leave."

"red."

Kurenai Yuhi: "What?"

Sarutobi Asuma: "Thank you for appearing in my life."

……

Half an hour later, Sarutobi Asuma, carrying a small bag, found Shingetsu Seiun and called him to the rooftop.

"Asma, what do you want to say to me?" Shingetsu Nebula asked.

Sarutobi Asuma did not answer, or rather, he did answer, but with his fist.

"I'll hit you!!!"

On the rooftop, with no one around, Sarutobi Asuma let out a strange cry and suddenly rushed towards Shingetsu Seiun like a madman, raining down punches.

Shingetsu Seiun was somewhat surprised, but his response was swift. Right after Sarutobi Asuma's unsportsmanlike sneak attack, he moved quickly, striking first and parrying Sarutobi Asuma's attacks one by one with his sharp fists and feet.

Physical techniques!

Swordsmanship!

Ninjutsu!!

On the rooftop, the wind howled, and violent fluctuations of chakra emanated in waves.

However, no matter how much effort Sarutobi Asuma exerted, Shingetsu Seiun remained as still as a rock, easily deflecting all of his attacks with a wave of her hand.

After a while, Sarutobi Asuma finally stopped moving.

He stood before Shenyue Xingyun, his hands supporting his knees as he gasped for breath, and glared angrily at Shenyue Xingyun with resentment.

"God Moon Nebula".

"Fuck your grandpa!"
