Chapter 114: Heart
As time went on, Kurenai Yuhi felt more and more that life at the base was incredibly boring!
She was so bored that she felt lost and listless, and so dull that she felt suffocated.
She originally thought that life at the post was alright.
Although it was somewhat dangerous, as a ninja, she was already prepared for the danger.
Complete tasks and deliver supplies.
In her spare time, she can also help teammates who need assistance, which makes her feel that her days are fulfilling.
However, everything changed after Kanako appeared a few months ago.
Her teammates no longer need her help for the time being.
I feel empty inside.
She didn't understand why; things were supposed to be this way.
Shenyue Xingyun's girlfriend has arrived, and someone is helping to alleviate his condition. Shouldn't I, as his teammate, be happy for him?
Why, why do I feel irritable?
Could it be that I wasn't simply helping my teammates?
Am I also enjoying the feeling of helping others?
Do not!
The thought crossed her mind, but Kurenai quickly dismissed it.
impossible!
She is the daughter of the Yuhi family, an excellent ninja with good upbringing. How could she possibly let a vague feeling affect her?
It must be because I'm not used to it!
Yes! It was during the process of helping that I had a slight feeling, and I just felt a little unaccustomed to the sudden absence of myself!
Gradually, her mood worsened, and she would sometimes drift off into a daze.
Sarutobi Asuma was the most perceptive to notice Kurenai Yuhi's changes.
"Hong, what's wrong with you lately?"
"You seem to have something on your mind?"
Faced with her teammate's concern, Kurenai was startled, then shook her head and pretended to be puzzled, saying, "Is everything alright?"
'
"I'm just a little tired lately, probably from being on missions for too long."
"Don't worry, Asuma, I'm fine."
"Oh." Sarutobi Asuma was relieved.
Kurenai also roused herself, trying her best not to show anything unusual.
As she spent more and more time at the base and the team carried out more and more missions, she gradually seemed to have really adapted, and her mood gradually returned to normal.
But only she knew the truth.
A vast, empty longing, like kindling, piled up ever larger.
There were so many that she couldn't bear to leave them behind.
In the dense forest, several figures darted and flashed swiftly.
With a crisp clang of metal clashing, Sarutobi Asuma's short sword deflected the incoming kunai. The hissing explosive tags on the kunai ignited, and with a deafening boom, a large crater was blasted into the ground.
Without time to consider the extent of the explosion, Sarutobi Asuma raised his twin swords, looked at the ferocious-looking Iwagakure ninja in front of him, and lunged forward.
"Clang clang clang clang clang!!!!"
The ninja wielding the kunai was of similar strength to him, but his combat experience was clearly much richer. He was able to deal with Sarutobi Asuma's relentless attacks while still having the energy to observe his surroundings.
"Damn it! Are you underestimating me?!" Sarutobi Asuma saw this and swung his twin swords even faster, the sword light forming a series of afterimages. The enemy dared not be careless and hurriedly regained his senses to defend.
While defending against the attack, he sneered and mocked.
"Hehe~"
"Do you think having a lot of whiskers makes you a match for an experienced ninja?"
"Stop struggling, just obediently accept your death."
Sarutobi Asuma's anger intensified.
"You're the one who deserves to die!"
"But there are four of us, and there are only three of you."
"Whether in terms of strength or ninjutsu, we clearly have the advantage."
"Are four people a lot?" Sarutobi Asuma said indignantly, "Our captain is worth three of us!"
"What a joke!" the enemy on the other side sneered.
Based on his initial observation, the three Konoha ninjas were clearly young people from Konoha, and had graduated no more than two years ago.
The other two were an unbelievably handsome man and a pretty young girl. Only the ninja with the mature-looking face and two short swords in front of them looked somewhat threatening.
One against three? How is that possible?
Just then, he caught a glimpse of the battle not far away out of the corner of his eye, and his gaze suddenly sharpened.
Then his pupils trembled slightly!
"How is that possible!" he blurted out!
But then they saw that incredibly handsome young man holding a long sword, his figure moving like the wind as he blocked all three of their remaining ninjas.
After the initial surprise, something suddenly came to his mind.
There are four of us and three of the enemy. I am currently fighting the one wielding dual swords, while the other three are fighting the one wielding a sword. Where is the remaining girl?
The moment the unease rose in his heart, his vision blurred.
A dazzling bright moon suddenly rose before my eyes!
Oops!
The moment a thought crossed his mind, he kicked out with both legs, and with a loud bang, his body was pulled back.
The Konoha ninja in front of them did not give chase.
Just as a sense of relief rose in his heart, he heard a faint buzzing sound.
very familiar.
The bright moon before his eyes vanished, and he saw the source of the sound—an explosive tag that had retreated with him.
"I*" "BOOM!!~"
Blood rained down.
Seeing that the enemy was dead, Sarutobi Asuma did not delay and immediately set off towards the location of the Shingetsu Nebula.
The three Hidden Rocks who were dealing with the Divine Moon Nebula panicked upon seeing this.
They tried to escape, but were blocked by the dense sword light of the Divine Moon Nebula.
A few minutes later, the enemy was completely wiped out.
Watching Shingetsu Seiun gracefully sheathe his sword, Sarutobi Asuma, leaning against a tree trunk and panting heavily, felt that his opponent still had plenty of strength left.
However, since the other party was holding off three enemies by himself, he couldn't say anything. He looked at Kurenai Yuhi beside him and asked with concern, "Kurenai."
"How are you?"
Kurenai Yuhi said, "The chakra consumption is a bit high, but I should be fine."
"That's good." Sarutobi Asuma nodded and said, "Let's deal with the enemy and leave quickly. It's too dangerous to scout around the Iwagakure camp."
Kurenai nodded, and just as she was about to move, her body suddenly went limp, and she slowly fell to the side.
The nearby Shenyue Xingyun quickly helped the other person up.
"Hong, are you alright?"
Kurenai reached out and braced herself against Shingetsu Seiun's arm.
She thought to herself that it was a pity, and slowly got up.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little dizzy."
"I just used the illusion a little too hastily."
Sarutobi Asuma: "I have some soldier rations here, why don't you eat one first?"
Reluctantly taking the soldier's rations from Sarutobi Asuma, Kurenai Yuhi said, "Don't worry about me."
"I'm fine."
Even so, the group didn't dare to delay. After quickly dealing with the body, the three of them swiftly retreated.
I rushed back to the base to hand over the mission.
When they finally returned to their tents and were able to rest, Kurenai suddenly said to Sarutobi Asuma while Shinzuki Seiun was not there, "Asuma, I've run out of rations."
"Could you go and get some for me?"
Sarutobi Asuma agreed without hesitation.
After he left, Kurenai Yuhi looked at the entrance of the tent, her eyes gleaming.
