Chapter 74 Another Visit
...
"Let me see, senbon, dizziness powder, itching powder, lime powder..." On the long table, the white-haired boy carefully inspected his equipment.
"We're still short on chili powder, remember to buy some later."
"We also need to prepare a few bottles of deodorant."
He carefully arranged the bottles and jars in front of him, looking excited. Occasionally, when he remembered something, a smile would appear on his face.
"Mizuki, your laughter is scary." "Ah!!" The sudden voice startled Mizuki, almost knocking over the bottles and jars on the table.
Carefully stabilizing her precious possession, Shui Mu glared at the mature-looking young man beside her with a hint of annoyance.
"Ibihi!"
"You scared me to death!"
Ibiki Morino, whose head had no scars but was still very unsightly, said sullenly, "I didn't mean to."
"Then we're even."
Shui Mu glared at him: "What do you mean we're even?"
Ibiki Morino said matter-of-factly, "Your expression just now startled me too."
Shui Muqi's hands trembled.
Ibiki Morino seemed oblivious, peering curiously at the bottles and jars on the Mizuki estate, and asked, "You prepared so much."
"Can it fit all the ninja tools?"
"None of your business," Shui Mu said. "If it's too big to fit, I'll just carry another one."
Ibiki Morino: "It's just a Chunin Exam."
"Preparing all this, are you treating everyone as a potential enemy?"
Shuimu: "I've made thorough preparations."
"Besides, it's always good to be prepared, just in case we don't have enough." As Mizuki spoke, a bewitching and handsome face appeared in his mind, and a gloomy light flashed in his eyes.
During their last encounter, he was caught off guard and knocked unconscious, and he's held a grudge ever since. If he meets his opponent again in the Chunin Exams, he'll definitely make him taste his own power!
"Ibixi, don't just stand there watching the show."
"See if I can help."
Ibiki Morino didn't notice Mizuki's gaze. He looked at the various insidious gadgets on the table with great interest, imagining their uses, and said, "No problem."
"Mitsuki, you've definitely prepared enough of these things, but poison and chili powder alone aren't enough. You need a good trap to use them."
"A trap isn't just about being powerful; you have to set it up cleverly, so that people fall into it without even realizing it. Let me tell you..."
This is not an isolated incident.
Many people are diligently preparing to pass the Chunin Exams, while others are diligently preparing to teach Shingetsu Seiun a lesson. As for Shingetsu Seiun himself, he is, of course, also very diligent.
The special training lasted all day, and he needed to compress the originally ample time for dating as much as possible, and arrange the time and intervals for each person just right.
Time management is a complex subject; one mistake can lead to serious consequences.
Night was falling.
After dropping off her last date at home, Shingetsu Seiun, feeling exhausted, checked the latest missions as she walked home.

Just as I was engrossed in watching, a figure suddenly appeared in front of me.
Shenyue Xingyun was startled and instantly took a step back, her hand already on the hilt of her sword!
He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing who was in front of him.
"red."
"Why is it you?"
He thought it was Danzo's men who had arrived.
Under the dim streetlights, Kurenai said somewhat apologetically, "Sorry, Nebula, I startled you again."
"It's nothing." Shenyue Xingyun shook her head, then a thought struck her and she asked, "Were you waiting for me?"
Kurenai Yuhi nodded: "Yes, I have something to tell you."
"Okay, go ahead and tell me."
Kurenai looked around and said, "Nebula, is there a quiet place nearby?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "?"
He looked around, but there wasn't a soul in sight. Where was it not quiet?
For the sake of the system task, he thought about it.
"There's a small bamboo house by the river nearby..."
Ten minutes later.
A small bamboo house by the river.
Xi Ri Hong was very satisfied with the environment here; the scenery was nice, and the surroundings were open and deserted.
The air quality doesn't seem very good. She sniffed and asked, puzzled, "There seems to be some kind of smell?"
Shingetsu Nebula: "It's probably the smell of fish."
"During the day, fishermen occasionally fish here, and they leave their fish buckets here."
"Oh~" Kurenai Yuhi stopped thinking about it.
Seeing Shenyue Xingyun pull over a stool and sit down, she also picked up a small stool and slowly sat down.
Shenyue Xingyun: "Red, there's no one here."
"You can tell me what you want to say now."
Upon hearing this, Kurenai's hands clenched unconsciously. Although she had rehearsed the situation in her mind many times, she still felt unusually nervous when the time actually came.
Fortunately, there was no one around, and the moonlight was hazy.
Gathering her courage silently, Kurenai Yuhi, amidst a slight dizziness and nervousness, slowly uttered, "Nebula."
"I wanted to talk to you about the problem with your hands."
"My hand?" Shenyue Xingyun asked slowly. "Red, I already told you."
"Once I've revitalized the Shingetsu family, I'll find someone to take care of it."
"Don't try to persuade me anymore."
Kurenai Yuhi shook her head: "Nebula, that's not what I meant."
Shingetsu Nebula: "What does that mean?"
Kurenai Yuhi: "What I'm trying to say is... this can't go on."
"Getting a girlfriend to solve your hand problem will have a very bad impact on your reputation."
"It's alright," said Shenyue Xingyun. "I can handle it."
Kurenai Yuhi said, "It's not that simple."
"If you continue like this, you will hurt even more people."
"Those girlfriends who broke up with you, and... and many other guys."
"Besides, are you going to have to search for people everywhere when you go out on missions and end up on the battlefield?"
Shingetsu Nebula: "Then what can I do?"
Kurenai paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and whispered, "I...I can help you."
Shenyue Xingyun: "You?"
"Hmm!" Kurenai's voice rose a little. "I can help you."
"As a teammate, as a partner, I'm willing to help you."
In the silence, Kurenai felt her heart pounding faster and faster. Just as she was so nervous she was in a daze, and so embarrassed she was secretly cracking her toes, Shingetsu Seiun's voice rang in her ears.
Why?
Why?
Kurenai Yuhi revealed the reason she had prepared long ago.
"Because we are partners fighting side by side."
"That day in the pit in Iwagakure, you risked your life to rescue Asuma and me."
"From that moment on, I knew you were a trustworthy partner."
"And all I can do is a small thing."
As she voiced her reasoning, Kurenai felt her dizziness gradually subside. She suddenly realized that what she said made a lot of sense and became much more confident.
"We're a team, we probably spend more time together than our families, so it wouldn't be more convenient for us to solve your problem. So Nebula, let me help you."
"As a partner."
