He had been lucid that time, and the feeling was more direct and stronger than the time Naruto saved him from Kankuro.
Since then, Naruto has vaguely become the guardian in Konohamaru's heart who replaced his father.
Chapter 99 Sister Hua, Yajun is my family!
After leaving Sarutobi's house, Asuma arrived at the Hokage Building alone. After greeting the gatekeeper ninja, he stepped onto the stairs to the top floor.
In the past, you could just come in directly, but now you have to wait for someone to report.
Asma couldn't help but sigh that things and people have changed. Everything that is familiar has become unfamiliar with the passage of time.
He took a long puff of cigarette at the door of the Hokage's office, exhaled the smoke, pinched out the cigarette butt, threw it into the trash can, and then raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
When I pushed the door open, I saw the new Hokage, Tsunade, looking unhappy. Her face was full of anger as she processed documents.
Seeing this, Asuma didn't know whether he should mention his request. He scratched his head and decided to be more tactful: "Tsunade-sama, thank you for saving me and my sister-in-law last time."
"Speak quickly if you have anything to say, and leave if nothing happens." Tsunade raised an eyebrow at him and said in a cold voice.
She has been very busy these days and has no time to chat with others, even with the elite jonin Sarutobi Asuma, the new chief of the Sarutobi clan.
In one word, Asuma's plans were blocked.
"Uh" Asuma scratched his head and had to directly state his request: "Lady Tsunade, I heard that Yuhi Kurenai Jonin has accepted a mission to the Snow Country. I would like to participate in this mission, is that okay?"
The mission of the Snow Country?
Tsunade remembered as soon as she heard it.
Because the reward for this mission is very high, it is the first commission Konoha has received in the past month, and it is estimated that the risk factor is not high.
We are just escorting a film crew to the Snow Country for filming. The only danger is that we might encounter wild beasts and robbers along the way.
Originally, this mission should have been classified as a B-level mission, but because the crew was too generous and raised it to A-level, Tsunade assigned this mission to the team led by a senior ninja.
That is, the eighth team led by Yuhi Kurenai.
"Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai's team of jonin is more than enough for this mission. She also has a member of her team named Shino Aburame who has been promoted to chunin. She is more than enough for an escort mission."
The hidden answer is that you should just stop interfering. Is it reasonable for two senior ninjas to be on an escort mission?
"I know, but my purpose is not the mission"
Asuma hesitantly said, "I would like to ask Lady Tsunade to do me a favor and let Kurenai and I go on this mission together. From now on, the Sarutobi family will swear allegiance to Lady Tsunade until death."
Now, Asuma is already the head of the Sarutobi clan, and he does have the position to speak on behalf of the Sarutobi clan.
Tsunade closed her eyes slightly and said softly, "Only this once!"
Hearing this, Asuma suppressed his excitement and bowed to Tsunade.
The Snow Kingdom is very far away from the Fire Kingdom. Just the round trip would take at least several months, not taking into account any emergencies that might occur during the journey.
This is what Asma is all about.
A strong woman is afraid of a clingy man. Based on the conclusion he drew from watching the Intimate Paradise with Kakashi in recent days, as long as he can spend a long time with Hong, even the biggest conflicts will dissipate with time.
If he didn't make any mistakes, it wouldn't be impossible for him to successfully pursue Hong on the way to the Snow Country.
Asma seemed to have seen the dawn of happiness shining upon him.
After leaving the Hokage Building, Asuma prepared to go to Kakashi's house to discuss the attack plan. The information that Kurenai Yuhi took on the mission in the Snow Country was revealed to him by Kakashi.
A week later.
The Kurenai class and Asuma boarded the ship to the Snow Country together. There was also a beautiful woman who was under the spell of Kurenai and was being supported by Kurenai.
She is the protagonist of the movie Princess Fengyun, "Fuji Fuyuki", and is also the main protection target of this mission.
She was extremely beautiful, but in Asuma's eyes, she was not as beautiful as Yu Ri Kurenai.
Asuma could hardly take his eyes off the enchanting figure under the white bandage skirt, and his eyes followed the sunset red.
Xihihong noticed it and frowned slightly. She didn't feel anything when she was good friends with Asuma before, but now she has no feelings for him anymore. It's really uncomfortable to be stared at by him.
I feel uncomfortable all over.
Lady Tsunade is really annoying. She forced Asuma into the mission for no reason.
"Hong, let me help you." Asuma said as he came forward.
Xihi Kurenai glanced at him calmly, quickened her pace to avoid him, and said coldly: "No, I am a ninja, not a weak woman."
"."Asuma felt bitter, thinking that Hong had misunderstood him so deeply that she ignored him now.
My childhood sweetheart of more than 20 years has become like this because of that evil doll.
Asuma swore that if one day he found out who put the doll on his bed, he would tear that person into pieces.
And that brat Naruto. When Asuma met him before, if it weren't for his sister-in-law's order forbidding him to attack him, he would have dealt with him long ago.
If Naruto hadn't yelled, Asuma wouldn't have been put in solitary confinement, and wouldn't have been left without the chance to explain to Hong.
After the mission in the Snow Country is completed and I return to Konoha, I must find an opportunity to teach Naruto a lesson.
"Teacher Asuma, where are Shikamaru and the others?" Inuzuka Kiba was too bored and approached Asuma to chat: "Why didn't you bring them with you?"
"Haha. They have their own tasks." Asuma smiled awkwardly, as he hadn't led Class 10 for a long time.
The Ino-Shika-cho of Team 10 has now been assigned to be led by Akimichi Choza, and he is only a nominal guiding jonin.
"Why is this happening?" Inuzuka Kiba felt a little tired. Hinata and Shino didn't like to talk, only he was a chatterbox.
So every time he went on a mission, it was extremely painful and boring.
Home is still the best, his sister is willing to take him to practice together.
"Teacher Asuma." Inuzuka Kiba asked curiously, "Did Shikamaru and the others go to deliver the prisoners to Sunagakure? My sister is also involved in that mission."
"Uh, it seems not."
"How come you don't know anything?" Inuzuka Kiba asked again.
Asuma gave a dry laugh and simply stayed away from him.
About an hour later, the big ship left the dock and headed for the Snow Kingdom.
Looking at Kurenai Yuhi's back, Asuma sighed and only hoped that this trip to the Snow Country would be able to resolve the knot between him and Kurenai Yuhi.
On the first day at sea, Asuma was unable to talk to Yuhi Kurenai, but Inuzuka Kiba kept talking to him.
At noon the next day, perhaps because of the cold weather or because she hated someone's gaze, Kurenai changed into the ninja's uniform, a green vest and black long coat and trousers.
Asuma felt even more uncomfortable after feeling the rejection from Hong, but his ability to comfort himself was truly amazing.
"It's okay. Hong, no matter how much she hates me now, she will like me more after the mission is over."
Thinking of this, Asuma moved closer and planned to continue talking to Kurenai Yuhi.
However, at this moment, the ship suddenly shook violently, and most ordinary people without chakra fell directly to the ground.
At this time, the sea was still calm.
So the rocking of the boat was not caused by wind and waves, but by human factors.
The five ninjas, led by Yuhi Kurenai and Asuma, immediately became alert and looked around.
"Wang Wang!"
At this time, Inuzuka Kiba's ninja dog Akamaru suddenly screamed, pulled his trouser legs and trembled. Aburame Shino's insects also gave him feedback that there was a terrible aura around.
"Over there!" Hyuga Hinata, who was standing high on the ship and observing, pointed to the right side of the deck.
There was a small boat there, and standing on the boat was a face that was familiar to Yuhi Kurenai and Asuma.
"Orochimaru, why are you here?!"
Asuma's expression trembled greatly, and before he could react, Orochimaru had already rushed onto the ship. Hundreds and thousands of snakes swarmed onto the ship, instantly scaring the ordinary people on the ship, and they fled into the cabin like crazy.
"Close the door, close the door quickly."
"Don't let the snake in!"
"Help!"
The intimidation of Lengjun Orochimaru is so great that even the senior ninjas can hardly bear it, let alone ordinary people.
Xihihong shouted at the three students: "You three run away quickly, don't stay here."
"Escape? How to escape?"
Just as Xi Ri Hong finished speaking, a cold female voice came from somewhere.
Immediately, a large amount of ice rose up around the ship for no reason. In less than three seconds, the entire top of the ship was covered by a thick layer of ice.
The next moment, Haku and Zabuza also appeared on the big ship, forming a triangle shape, surrounding Asuma and Team 8.
Orochimaru, who killed the Hokage and the Kazekage some time ago, the Kirigakure demon Zabuza Momochi, and the powerful Ice Release ninja.
Xihihong looked at the scene in front of her and her mind was in chaos for a moment.
Isn't this just an ordinary A-level item?
how come.
Before she could think more, the three people surrounding them launched an attack.
Bai said: "You are very lucky. We just happened to have no suitable ship to go to the Snow Country."
"."
As autumn turns to winter, sparse snow falls from the sky, adding a little color to the forest.
Now Konoha's escort force is still on the way to the border. Today, Naruto and a beautiful older sister are surveying the front line together.
"Wang Wang!"
A big dog that looked like a wild wolf followed Naruto excitedly. Naruto touched its furry head and looked in the direction it indicated.
I saw Inuzuka Hana waiting for Naruto in front with two similar ninja dogs.
Hana is Inuzuka Kiba's sister, five years older than Kiba. She is slender and graceful. When she smiles, her red lips slightly part, revealing a few white teeth.
Although he also has the red inverted triangle facial marks unique to the Inuzuka clan on his cheeks, both his appearance and personality are completely different from Kiba.
