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

Chapter 70 Kurenai's Questions

Mikoto Uchiha clapped her hands: "Alright, that's enough for today's practice."

"Come here, I have something to announce."

The group walked over, and Sarutobi Asuma rubbed his back as he limped closer.

"Mikoto-sensei".

"Is there another new mission?"

Mikoto Uchiha said, "It's not about the mission."

"Go back and pack your things properly today, then come with me to see the Hokage tomorrow."

"Huh?" Sarutobi Asuma's expression immediately turned ugly.

"Why go see the old man?"

Despite Sarutobi Asuma's objections, Uchiha Mikoto remained calm and said, "It's not clear yet."

"However, it could be related to the Chunin Exams."

"The Chunin Exams?" Kurenai asked疑惑地, "Isn't there still six months left?"

"I'm just guessing," Mikoto Uchiha said. "We'll know the specifics tomorrow."

"Oh," Kurenai Yuhi replied.

After the practice session ended, Shingetsu Seiun and the others didn't linger and went home. Sarutobi Asuma wanted to invite Yuhi Kurenai to lunch, but Yuhi Kurenai declined.

"No, Asuma."

"I'm going home for lunch."

After rejecting the disappointed Sarutobi Asuma, Kurenai Yuhi parted ways with him. As she walked across a street corner, she suddenly moved swiftly and quietly hid behind a wall.

A moment later, she cautiously peeked out, and finding no one behind her, she vanished in a few flashes.

……

As he walked home, Shingetsu Seiun was somewhat absent-minded, thinking about the news that Uchiha Mikoto had told him earlier that day.

The Hokage summoned him.

The Chunin Exams may be moved up.

He kept pondering the information reflected behind these two messages.

Is there fighting on the border? Or is there friction between the major ninja villages?

He didn't know. The Shingetsu clan had fallen into decline, and as a newly graduated genin, he had no access to information from the outside world.

Mikoto Uchiha might know something, but she might not tell him.

Just then, a familiar figure suddenly darted out in front of him, startling him. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Kurenai Yuhi, whom he had only recently parted ways with.

"red."

"What are you doing here all of a sudden? You startled me."

Kurenai smiled sheepishly: "Sorry."

I didn't notice you were daydreaming.

Catching her breath to calm herself, Shenyue Xingyun immediately asked, "Red."

"Didn't you go home? Why are you coming to find me?"

Kurenai Yuhi: "Um... Nebula."

Do you have time?

"I have something I want to ask you."

"Of course," said Shenyue Xingyun. "My house is just ahead. Let's go home and talk."

Kurenai Yuhi: "Hmm~ Is anyone home?"

"No. Izumo is still in school and usually doesn't come back at noon, so I'm alone."

"Okay, let's talk at your house."

Shenyue Xingyun: "?"

After bringing Xi Ri Hong home and pouring her a cup of hot water, Shen Yue Xing Yun suddenly remembered something as she sat down on the stool.

The system panel popped up silently, and his gaze settled on the information in the section about Kurenai Yuhi.

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

[Current Task: Self-Deception (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.]

This was the system message that popped up when Kurenai Yuhi was thrown out of the pit created by the Jonin of Iwagakure. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

He'd been incredibly busy these past few days and hadn't had time to deal with it. Only when Yuhi Kurenai came looking for him did he remember that the quest seemed to have refreshed. However, looking at the quest description "Self-Deception" on the panel, he found it somewhat difficult to understand.

Accidental contact.

A new world gateway?

Is that what he meant?

While he was checking the panel information, Kurenai Yuhi, carrying a bowl of hot water, seemed to have mentally prepared herself before saying:

"nebula."

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

Kurenai glanced around and, finding no one there, slowly said, "Um... it's like this."

"I...I want to ask you a question, but I absolutely don't mean anything by it!"

"As a teammate, I want to ask so that I can understand better."

"Yes, that's it."

Shenyue Xingyun smiled and said, "Alright, Hong."

"Go ahead and ask."

Kurenai took a deep breath and then said, "Nebula."

"Why do you have so many girlfriends?"

"Because of love," Shingetsu Seiun answered instinctively.

He has had this kind of question asked by many girlfriends and ex-girlfriends, and he already has a fixed answer for each of them.

This answer clearly did not satisfy Kurenai Yuhi.

"Nebula, we're teammates."

"Don't answer me with the same answer you give your girlfriend."

"Can't you be honest?"

This is also a fixed phrase. So Shenyue Xingyun continued, "I'm telling the truth."

"My girlfriend is one of a kind to me."

"Every single one of them."

"So, it's not a matter of more or less, it's just that I can't control my love."

"Bang." Kurenai gently placed the water glass on the table.

I'll say it again.

"We're teammates! Do you understand what teammates are?"

"Tell the truth."

"Tell me, why do you have so many girlfriends?"

"..." Shenyue Xingyun remained silent.

Looking at the message "Self-deception (An accidental encounter opened the door to a new world. Please give Kurenai a reason to believe and hold hands more than 69 times)" on the panel, he pondered silently.

If the task information provided by the system is really as he thinks...

After thinking for a moment, he decided to try it out according to his own ideas.

"Red." He considered his thoughts before answering, "Actually... it's a long story."

"The reason I got a girlfriend is because... I couldn't control myself."

Kurenai pressed further, "Can't control what?"

Shenyue Xingyun sighed, and then slowly placed his hands in front of his eyes.

"Red, do you know what these hands of mine are like?"

I know, the Hand of God. I'd heard of it before, and I even investigated it these past couple of days. (From the hidden passage of Kurenai Yuhi)

"I don't know. Nebula, what happened to your hands?"

"Sigh~" Shenyue Xingyun sighed, "There's something wrong with my hands."

"My hands started to change two years ago."

"Sometimes it hurts terribly."

"I asked the medical ninja, but they didn't know why either. Later, I discovered it by chance... as long as I hold hands with a girl, the pain can be greatly relieved."

Kurenai Yuhi asked with concern, "Didn't you ask any other medical ninjas?"

"Are there any other solutions?"

Shenyue Xingyun paused.

"That... Red."

"The Kamui family has fallen into decline, so where would I know any more medical ninjas?"

"Holding hands with a girl is the most direct and convenient way to relieve the pain in my hands."

"Although the effect only lasts for a few days, it's the only option I have."
