Chapter 66 She said it was because she was overeating.
Hearing the call, Kurenai's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her unfocused eyes gradually began to focus.
She looked up blankly and found Asma staring at her anxiously.
"Ah, it's Asuma. What are you doing in front of my house?" Kurenai asked, surprised.
After asking that question, she reached out and covered her abdomen, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
Oh no, I'm so full.
I wish I hadn't bought so much...
Looking at Kurenai Yuhi's distressed expression.
Sarutobi Asuma was momentarily speechless.
After receiving his squad number from his Hokage father yesterday, he went to the assembly point on time and waited for his teammates and instructors.
His two teammates were classmates he knew from school: Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara.
His mentor was a blond young man named Minato Namikaze.
Although he was only a newly promoted Jonin and didn't look much older than them, he had a good reputation with his father.
He even remembered that Hiruzen Sarutobi had once said that Minato Namikaze might become a figure who would stir up the storm in the ninja world, just like the White Fang of Konoha.
So, after the gathering ended, Asma rushed to the residential area without even eating, wanting to share his joy with the girl he secretly admired.
result......
He waited all night, and was hungry all night, but still his beloved did not come home.
It wasn't until the sky began to lighten that Yuhi Kurenai returned, clutching her back, her face etched with exhaustion.
His overnight absence after the training camp made it hard for him not to overthink things.
What exactly happened?
What on earth happened?!
Asma felt a bit short of breath, but she forced herself to hold it in and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you alright?"
His voice was so dry that even he was surprised.
Kurenai pinched her lower back again, but the discomfort did not subside.
She wanted to go back and rest.
But standing before her was the Hokage's son, and she couldn't simply ignore him. Kurenai could only speak softly:
"It's alright, Asuma, I just ate a little too much, I'll be fine after a rest."
Did you eat too much?
Where would they find time to eat during intensive training?
Asuma's eyes were bloodshot, and he stammered, waving his hands, "But...but..."
"But what?"
Why are you being so long-winded?
Kurenai was getting a little impatient.
She had been keeping watch over Tsunade all night. She hadn't had a proper rest since leaving home yesterday, and her whole body was radiating exhaustion.
All she could think about right now was her soft, cozy bed. She longed to leap back into her warm, comfortable blankets and sleep soundly until tomorrow morning.
"Where did you go last night?" Asma asked, taking a deep breath.
"I'm in squad training," Kurenai Yuhi replied without hesitation.
Intensive training camp!?
Asuma's eyes widened suddenly. Did Kurenai not even bother to lie to her anymore?
His shoulders trembled uncontrollably as he asked with a sorrowful smile, "What kind of bell can keep you robbing people all night?"
From that moment on, Kurenai finally understood what Asuma was thinking.
She looked at the son of the Hokage with disdain and speechlessness for several seconds.
Who is this person?
That's too low!
"I've been in intensive training," Kurenai Yuhi said, barely suppressing her impatience. "It wasn't until this morning that my teammates and I passed our instructor's assessment."
She walked past Sarutobi Asuma to her front door, inserted the key to open it, and said in a cold tone:
"I'm very tired now, and we have to continue training tomorrow. You should get some rest too."
With those final words, the iron gate slammed shut.
boom!
Sarutobi Asuma stood like a pale statue, staring blankly at the tightly closed door, only able to hear the footsteps behind it fading into the distance.
The scene seemed to have been paused.
After an unknown amount of time, his fingertips began to tremble slightly.
"I'm so full..."
He muttered to himself as he slowly backed away from the gate.
Asma finally sat down on the ground with a thud, his back against the wall, his body sliding down little by little. He wore a sorrowful expression that was neither crying nor laughing.
"She said it was because she was overeating..."

Ichiraku Ramen.
After the team disbanded, Uchiha Ike did not go home to catch up on sleep like Kurenai Yuhi did, but instead went to Ichiraku Ramen.
Unlike Kakashi and the others who had a sleepless night, he not only slept last night, but slept very soundly and deeply.
Anyway, he has a system that gives him a cheat code, so as long as he can manipulate the emotions of the people around him, he will naturally become stronger and stronger.
Thinking about it this way, failing the test isn't so unacceptable. If I'm sent back to the ninja academy, maybe I can even pull off a "playing dumb to outmaneuver the enemy" scenario...
It was a bit boring, though.
"Enjoy your ramen!"
Looking at the steaming hot new ramen, emitting an enticing aroma, Uchiha Ike's throat bobbed slightly.
He didn't get to enjoy the luxuries with Kakashi and Kurenai, the two purchasing staff, so he was naturally starving when it was time to eat.
Since things have come to this, let's eat noodles first.
Thinking this, Uchiha Ike broke open a pair of disposable chopsticks and began to eat ramen in large mouthfuls.
[Pain detected from Sarutobi Asuma!]
[Gain 20 points and increase damage by 4%!]
Uchiha Ike raised his head in confusion, staring at the line of light blue text in front of him, with half a ramen noodle still hanging from his mouth.
Glug, glug.
After swallowing the ramen hanging outside in one gulp, Uchiha Ike placed his chopsticks steadily on the edge of the bowl before scrutinizing the strange yet familiar name, "Sarutobi Asuma," with a strange expression.
"...Why are you starting to feel pain too?"
Even with 35 million taels of silver, they still had to carry rice upstairs?
Uchiha Ike shook his head with amusement, subconsciously beginning to ponder what kind of suffering the Hokage's son could possibly encounter at this age.
A loved one has passed away?
His parents are in excellent health now.
Feeling unappreciated despite having great talent?
How could the third generation possibly assign a bad teacher to his son?
So, is it being troubled by love?
Uchiha Ike lowered his eyes slightly, feeling that he had guessed the correct answer.
In other words...
Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi have a conflict?
Moreover, it's not a contradiction of ordinary degree.
At least Uchiha Ike knew that Asuma was truly in pain.
Because... he got a lot of gold coins.
[Target's emotional fluctuations exceed the standard; host receives additional reward: Wind Release: Dust Technique]
【Wind Release: Dust Technique: Attacks the opponent by spitting out dust】
"What kind of low-budget version of Dark Travel Technique is this?"
Uchiha Ike looked at the system's rewards with a wry smile and shook his head.
He still didn't understand how this matter had anything to do with him.
They probably won't see him as some kind of imaginary enemy anymore, right?
I'll try to find out more from Kurenai Yuhi during tomorrow's training camp.
"There are still many good people in this ninja world, even those who can drop gold coins from the void."
Uchiha Ike sighed and happily ate the rest of his ramen.
