Two hours later, Kurenai Yuhi arrived late. Upon seeing her, Asuma Sarutobi's eyes lit up.
"Hong!" He rushed over to greet her, "Why are you only arriving now?"
"What happened?"
"It's nothing." Kurenai Yuhi shook her head.
However, Sarutobi Asuma knew Yuhi Kurenai all too well, and even though she tried her best to hide it, he easily noticed that something was wrong with her.
My hair isn't as smooth as it was yesterday, probably because I was in a rush to style it this morning. My complexion is a bit pale and not as rosy as it was yesterday. Most importantly, I have faint dark circles under my eyes.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Sarutobi Asuma asked with concern.
Kurenai thought for a moment and nodded.
"Ah."
"I can't sleep because I keep thinking about the Chunin Exams."
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma's eyes were filled with heartache.
"Kurenai. It's just a regular Chunin Exam, don't worry about it so much. Don't worry, we'll work hard together, and the Chunin Exam will definitely be no problem."
"Mm." Kurenai nodded, forcing a smile. "I understand, Asuma."
Sarutobi Asuma: "Kurenai, do you want to take a break? There's no rush with the special training."
Kurenai shook her head: "It's nothing. I slept in a little longer this morning, so I'm fine now. Asuma, let's train together."
Sarutobi Asuma was relieved and excitedly agreed. He then joined Kurenai Yuhi in receiving special training from Uchiha Mikoto.
Occasionally, during breaks in practice, he would casually glance at Kurenai Yuhi, his eyes filled with happiness and tenderness.
"Asuma!" At that moment, Mikoto Uchiha exclaimed in confusion, "What's going on today?"
"Gleefully grinning, did you find some money yesterday?"
"No," Sarutobi Asuma lied with a light laugh, "I'm just excited about being able to participate in the Chunin Exams."
In fact, he dreamed of Kurenai Yuhi last night.
In his dream, he and Kurenai Yuhi had grown into adults, married, had three children, and spent their days happily together, a perfect couple that everyone in Konoha envied.
He was in a daze in his dream, and he didn't know when his three children were born. He was just thinking about having a fourth one as soon as possible, and then the dream got stuck there.
He couldn't process what followed because he lacked experience, and just as he was getting anxious, he was awakened by the old man Hiruzen Sarutobi's pipe.
Although I had a fight with my husband, the lingering happiness from my dream hasn't faded away yet.
“Just being excited won’t help.” Uchiha Mikoto poured cold water on Sarutobi Asuma’s beaming smile: “Focus on your training. Only with solid strength can you face any challenge without fear.”
"Mmm-hmm," Sarutobi Asuma replied, "I understand, Mikoto-sensei."
"Let's keep practicing, I can't wait."
……
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"
With a shout, clusters of flames shot out in all directions from the open space, leaving distorted afterimages in the air as the flames passed, and the temperature rose rapidly.
Moments later, the flames dissipated.
Obito Uchiha's eyes shone brightly as he slowly unfurled the hand seals he had formed.
"Obito, you're amazing!" A girl's cheers came from not far away. Uchiha Obito turned around, a smile spreading across his face.
"Lin."
"How was my training these past two days? Not bad, right?"
“Of course.” Nohara Rin nodded. “Obito, you seem to be working really hard lately. I’ve never seen you work this hard before.”
That's because before, there wasn't this guy, Shenyue Xingyun, who kept him up at night!
While thinking to himself, Obito Uchiha said aloud, "Rin, it is because you are by my side that I have the motivation to train."
Nohara Rin: "Huh?"
Chapter 77 The Incident
Obito Uchiha's heart skipped a beat, and he said urgently, "What I mean is, I want to protect my comrades."
"Only by becoming strong can we protect everyone from harm."
"Our great Third Hokage taught us from a young age that wherever the leaves dance, fire will surely rise..."
"Stop!" Nohara Rin stretched out a hand to stop Uchiha Obito's impassioned speech.
"I understand. Please don't recite the quotes of the Third Generation Lord to me."
Looking at the girl's adorable appearance, Obito Uchiha's heart melted. He obediently replied, "Okay, okay."
"I won't recite it if you don't let me."
What is the Will of Fire, what are the quotes of the Third Hokage? In his heart, they are not even worth a hair of Rin Nohara.
As the sun began to set and dinnertime approached, Obito Uchiha looked at Rin Nohara, who seemed to be glowing before him. Mustering his courage, his heart pounding, he suppressed his impatience and said casually, "Rin, I heard that a new yakiniku restaurant opened west of Ichiraku Ramen. Why don't we go and try it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a blurry figure flashed past the corner of his eye. Then, Kakashi Hatake, wearing a mask, silently stopped beside him, staring at him expressionlessly from behind.
Obito Uchiha: "..."
He swore to the Sage of Six Paths that if the other party hadn't been so powerful, he would have kicked him.
Why do you always disappear the moment we mention food?!
Could it be that some kind of spell has been triggered?
Suppressing his displeasure, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and continued, "Kakashi Hatake and I have always wanted to go, but we haven't found the opportunity yet."
Kakashi Hatake's usually expressionless eyes flickered slightly.
Nohara Rin asked in surprise, "You two made a plan?"
Obito Uchiha: "Yeah."
"Lin, let's go together."
"Just treat it as a Watergate team get-together."
Nohara Rin: "Shouldn't we call him Minato-sensei?"
Obito Uchiha felt his heart bleed.
He didn't want to call him Teacher Minato. First, one third wheel was enough; he couldn't stand two.
Secondly, his small wallet couldn't handle it either.
"Minato-sensei is too busy, I think we should just skip it," he said, scratching his head.
Nohara Rin nodded. Uchiha Obito's eyes lit up at the sight, and just when he thought she was finally going to agree, Nohara Rin changed the subject.
"Never mind."
"Obito, you go with Kakashi, I won't go."
"Something came up at home."
Obito Uchiha's eyes widened.
"what?"
"Lin, is something wrong at home again?"
"You seem to be very busy lately. Every time I call you, you're always busy."
Rin Nohara smiled sheepishly: "Sorry, Obito."
"My brother stabbed himself in the hand with a shuriken today, so I have to go back and cook for him. I'm off now, bye-bye."
With that, Nohara Rin waved her hand and skipped away, leaving Uchiha Obito looking disappointed.
He only turned around slowly after Rin Nohara's figure disappeared into the sunset, only to be met with Kakashi Hatake's dead fish eyes.
Obito Uchiha said irritably, "What are you doing?"
Kakashi Hatake: "..."
He continued to stare at Obito Uchiha, making the latter feel extremely uncomfortable.
Obito Uchiha took a step back. "Speak your mind, or I'm going home for dinner."
After saying that, Kakashi Hatake sighed softly.
With a sense of relief.
After a moment, he spoke calmly.
"Don't invite Lin anymore."
Obito Uchiha frowned immediately: "Why are you bringing this up?"
"I can invite them if I want."
Kakashi Hatake remained expressionless and said, "Can't you tell?"
"How brilliantly foolish."
"Lin has already rejected you."
Obito Uchiha's expression immediately changed. "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Lin just had something to do! You understand what she means by 'something to do'?"
Kakashi Hatake was speechless for a moment.
How can there be such stupid people in the world?
"It's normal for something to happen once, it's understandable if something happens twice, but it's a coincidence if something happens three times."
"If something happens ten times, don't you think there's a problem?"
As Kakashi Hatake finished speaking, Obito Uchiha wanted to retort, but suddenly remembered what Rin Nohara had said to him recently.
"No, Obito, we have guests at home today, so I need to go back and tidy up the house."
