"Nebula, Nebula." Just as he was lost in thought, he heard Sarutobi Asuma calling him.

He turned around: "What's wrong?"

Sarutobi Asuma said, "Tell me the truth."

"You're not angry at all about Orochimaru's arrangements? You don't object at all?"

Shenyue Xingyun thought for a moment and replied, "No."

Based on observations over the past two days, the ninjas stationed in the northwest are well-disciplined and have strict military discipline. The entire station, from hygiene to discipline, is extremely organized.

The fact that these newly graduated Chunin were uniformly assigned to Genin missions reveals the seasoned experience of the commander.

The only downside is the strict discipline at the base. Apart from special Jonin and Jonin, only Chunin captains have a certain range of movement. As for Genin, they can only rotate shifts and rest at the base.

This greatly hindered his ability to connect with his girlfriend at his post.

However, it's not a big problem.

Most of the objects bound to the system are long-term tasks that have lasted for one or two years or more. Currently, the task with the shortest time limit is Xi Ri Hong.

[Bound to: Kurenai Yuhi (Instance - Asuma Sarutobi)]

[Current Mission: Self-Deception 2/69 (An accidental encounter opened the door to a new world. Please give Kurenai a reason to believe and hold hands more than 69 times)]

[Task duration: One year.]

[Quest Reward (Choose one): Magic Tree Binding Kill Lv2, Long Hair Care Lv3, Illusion Resistance Lv3.]

His gaze fell on Kurenai Yuhi, who was diligently on duty not far away, and he thought to himself that he would find an opportunity to complete the mission as soon as possible during his rest period.

Sarutobi Asuma, standing nearby, pursed his lips upon hearing his reply.

"The stationed genin are not allowed to move around freely."

"Then you can't go find a girlfriend."

"Aren't you in a hurry?"

"What's the rush?" Shingetsu Seiun looked away from Yuhi Kurenai and chuckled, "I'm not going anywhere for a while."

"Focus on your duties with peace of mind."

Seeing that Shingetsu Seiun was so 'unambitious', Sarutobi Asuma shook his head.

"Nebula, I have a different opinion from you."

"If I had to choose, I would still prefer to integrate into the battlefield as soon as possible and make contributions."

"Just like Jonin Minato."

After entering the base, news and developments on the battlefield became easier to obtain. Rumors are circulating in the barracks that Minato Namikaze and the renowned AB combination from Kumogakure are locked in a fierce battle on the northern front, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

Minato Namikaze, due to his outstanding performance, has earned the nickname "Yellow Flash".

Sarutobi Asuma was extremely envious of this.

I think about it when I'm on duty, I think about it when I'm resting, and I even dream about the name "Yellow Flash" at night.

Kurenai couldn't help but interject, "Asuma, you're thinking too far ahead."

“It’s not an easy thing to catch up with someone like Jonin Minato.”

Shenyue Xingyun smiled upon hearing this and added, "Hong, you're too kind."

"It's absolutely impossible."

Sarutobi Asuma was immediately displeased upon hearing this: "How do you know it's impossible?"

I don't think I'm bad.

"Give me some time to improve, wait a few more years..."

Shingetsu Seiun: "You're the same age as Jonin Minato?"

Sarutobi Asuma: "(#-_-)"

Shenyue Xingyun continued to pour cold water on the other party: "Asuma, don't even think about it."

"Jonin Minato has a talent for space-time ninjutsu, so even if he can't beat the enemy, he can still run away."

"You are different."

"You can think about making a name for yourself after you've hit me."

Chapter 103 Asma's Auditory Hallucinations

"Don't be so arrogant."

Sarutobi Asuma said angrily, "Nebula, I admit that you are a little stronger than me now."

"But I won't let you be smug for long."

"You just wait! Once I've mastered the swordsmanship that Mikoto-sensei taught me, I'll definitely let you taste my power."

Upon hearing this, Shenyue Xingyun lowered his head and began to form hand seals.

Upon seeing this, Sarutobi Asuma asked, "What are you doing?"

Shen Yue Xingyun didn't even raise his head, continuously forming the nine hand seals of the Great Fireball Technique: "Practice the Great Fireball."

"When the time comes, if you try to cut me with your sword, I'll burn you with my Great Fireball."

Sarutobi Asuma's expression was strange: "How about... you learn a more advanced ninjutsu?"

"You think you can beat my dual blades with a basic fireball? You might as well just use your swordsmanship."

Shen Yue Xingyun remained silent, focusing solely on practicing hand seals.

Of course, he was joking with Sarutobi Asuma; he would never use a Fireball Jutsu to burn his own teammates.

Unworthy.

But practicing hand seals is indeed very necessary.

The system amplified the power of his Fireball Jutsu by a thousand times, enhancing it based on his existing mastery. He wondered if he could further refine his Fireball Jutsu and increase its power even more. He didn't expect to reach Lv5, but even a slight increase would be good.

He practiced hand seals while on duty, and didn't find it boring at all.

Sarutobi Asuma, on the other hand, was always busy.

He would go to the toilet every now and then, and then jump to the treetop to observe from afar.

Sometimes they would pick a few wild fruits from the treetops.

"Red, Nebula, do you want some?"

"This fruit tastes good."

Shenyue Xingyun shook her head: "Do you know him?"

"Eating random things can easily lead to food poisoning."

Sarutobi Asuma said dismissively, "Don't worry, I saw squirrels eating it too, so it's definitely not poisonous."

"If you're not going to eat it, I'll eat it myself."

Half an hour later, Sarutobi Asuma's stomach started to rumble.

Shenyue Xingyun: "What did I tell you?"

"You don't listen to the captain at all."

Sarutobi Asuma clutched his stomach: "Stop talking nonsense, the fruit is definitely not poisonous!"

"It's just a little digestive aid. Red, Nebula, I'm going to the restroom."

Seeing him clutch his stomach and walk away, Kurenai reminded him, "Asuma, stay away."

"We still have to stand guard here."

"Understood." Sarutobi Asuma bowed and waved his hand.

After providing the border forest with nutrient-rich waste, Sarutobi Asuma walked towards his post. In the distance, he seemed to hear some panting sounds.

Is anyone there?

With doubts in his mind, Asuma continued forward, but the panting soon disappeared.

Further on, Shingetsu Seiun and Yuhi Kurenai were quietly on guard duty.

Sarutobi Asuma thought he had misheard and didn't think much of it.

When Kurenai saw him return, she asked with concern, "Asuma, are you alright?"

Sarutobi Asuma shook his head: "It was a good experience, nothing serious."

Kurenai Yuhi: "So, are you still going to eat the fruit? I see there are quite a few bigger ones on the trees to the west."

Sarutobi Asuma thought Kurenai was teasing him, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Never mind."

"I'm not eating yet."

After the changing of the guard at nightfall, the three returned to the camp to rest. Each ninja squad had its own tent.

After receiving the supplies and having dinner, the three of them began to rest.

Not long after, Sarutobi Asuma felt his stomach churning again.

"I'll never eat random things again," he vowed as he grabbed his ninja tool kit and headed for the toilet.

After a thoroughly enjoyable experience, he walked back to the camp and suddenly realized that he could hear the same breathing he had heard during the day again.

When they entered the tent, the sound stopped. Inside, Shingetsu Seiun and Yuhi Kurenai were resting quietly on their respective cots, without any sign of anything amiss.

He had to continue his shift in the middle of the night, so he suppressed his doubts and went to rest.

In the days that followed, Sarutobi Asuma felt increasingly strange.

Occasionally, he would hear a faint panting sound every day or two.

He didn't know where it came from, but he could vaguely hear it.

One evening, he had just stepped out of his tent to collect supplies when he heard that sound again.

His eyes immediately sharpened, and he looked around.
