Chapter 106: The Progress of Xirihong

Chapter 106: Xirihong's Progress (First Update)
It was a comfortable morning in March, neither too hot nor too cold.

Hanekawa got up early, changed his clothes, and went straight to Konoha Knowledge Bookstore.

Three months had passed since he last met Samui and the others, and he...his friend had written a new novel idea and outline.

"Hanekawa!"

When Tuqiao saw him, he guessed something and asked expectantly, "Is there a new book?"

"good."

Hanekawa took out a scroll and handed it to him.

"The recovery wizard's new life."

Tsuchihashi read the title, opened the scroll, and looked at it for a moment with a strange look on his face, "Is this hero's start so miserable?"

"First suppress, then promote."

Hanekawa said succinctly.

Tuqiao continued to look down, and soon his eyes lit up.

Especially when the princess was forced to make a choice, her face was full of excitement.

"no problem!"

Tsuchiya closed the scroll and said, "It will definitely be a fire!"

"I hope that this time the novel and comics will be published at the same time to save more time."

Hanekawa suggested.

"As ordinary authors, we certainly wouldn't dare to take such a big risk, but we can give the Thunder Fire Sword a try."

Tuqiao hesitated for a moment and said, "We will arrange it as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Uncle Dobashi."

Hanekawa thanked him, said goodbye to him, and returned home.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yuhi Kurenai standing in the entrance.

She held onto the wall, bending over to change her shoes.

The long black hair fell like a waterfall, the white jade-like calves were slightly tilted, and the delicate toes gradually disappeared into the shoes.

Hanekawa was slightly startled.

Before we knew it, Xiurihong had turned into a bright and charming girl.

"Hanekawa, what did you do so early in the morning?"

Yuhi Kurenai put on her shoes, noticed him, and asked with some confusion.

"Throw away the trash."

Hanekawa made up an excuse and said.

"Do you think I can rank third today like I did last year?"

Yuhi Kurenai had no doubts and turned the topic to the upcoming practical exam.

"It's not a big problem."

Hanekawa thought for a moment and analyzed, "Your biggest rival is Asuma. His overall strength is half as good as yours, but you also have your strengths."

"What advantages?"

Xihi Kurenai subconsciously moved forward.

A faint fragrance wafts towards me.

"Illusion."

Hanekawa smiled and said, "When you spar with him, use water escape to confuse him first, and then use illusion to catch him off guard."

"good idea!"

Yuhi Kurenai said with her eyes shining.

Needless to say, Asuma Sarutobi would definitely be aware of guarding against illusions, but how could he guard against them all the time?
Moreover, the difference in strength between him and Yuhi Kurenai is not that big, so when he is fully focused on dealing with water escape, he will always slack off.

Of course, if he can keep defending, there is really nothing we can do and he deserves to win.

"come on."

Hanekawa reached out and touched her head.

"I'm not a child anymore!"

Xihihong snorted and said, "Don't touch my head all the time."

broken!

Does this mean that his career of head-patting is coming to an end?

As a ninja from the Pattou Village, Hanekawa felt deeply sorry.

But fortunately, although Yuhikurenai said that, her body was still very honest and did not dodge.

"Let's go, let's go eat Ichiraku Ramen."

Hanekawa stretched out his hand and said.

Xihi Kurenai glanced at him and held his hand.

"I don't know when Uncle Zhenhong will be back."

Hanekawa closed the door and left home with Yuhi Kurenai.

Yuhi Shinku received a mission the day before yesterday and has been away from home for two days.

"It should be soon."

Yuhi Kurenai said uncertainly.

"I forgot to ask him what his mission was."

Hanekawa paused and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, it will be fine. It will only delay you for a week or two at most."

In the original work, Yuhi Shinku died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and it is still very early now.

"Ah."

Xihi Kurenai nodded and asked, "Who did you learn to cook from? It's getting more and more delicious!"

“My teacher taught me that.”

Hanekawa betrayed her without hesitation, "She is quite lazy, so I cook for her."

Xihihong felt something strange.

Before she met Hanekawa, she always thought Tsunade was the greatest female ninja in the ninja world.

But now, its image has collapsed.

Except for the excellent medical ninja, the rest became lazy and greedy, gambling and drinking, not like ninjas at all.

"Please teach me how to cook when you are free."

Xihi Kurenai suddenly thought of something and said.

"no problem."

Hanekawa smiled and said.

He found that in the original work, girls were more virtuous, such as Nohara Rin, Hyuga Hinata and Yamanaka Ino.

As for Tsunade, let’s not mention her.

"arrive!"

Yuhi Kurenai let go of Hanekawa's hand, glanced at the menu, and said, "Uncle Shouda, give me a bowl of char siu ramen."

"Me too."

Hanekawa sat down next to her.

"Two guests, wait a moment."

The sound of hand hitting came from the kitchen.

After a while, two bowls of ramen were served.

"I'm starting!"

Yuhi Kurenai clapped her hands, picked up the bowl, took a sip of the soup, and smiled with satisfaction.

"It's so cute."

Hanekawa praised with a smile.

"Of course!"

Xihihong raised her eyebrows and accepted his compliment.

After finishing their ramen and paying the bill, the two headed to the Ninja School.

The time came to eight o'clock in the morning.

Eiichiro walked into the classroom on time.

“Don’t be the last one!”

Uchiha Obito closed his eyes and muttered to himself.

"If you don't work hard in normal times, is there any point in praying now?" Hatake Kakashi shook his head and asked.

"Who said I didn't try hard?"

Uchiha Obito said stubbornly, "I train with Lin every day."

"I'm talking about the theory class."

Hatake Kakashi said calmly.

"I...I study very hard in class..."

Uchiha Obito became less and less confident as he spoke.

"The first place should be Hanekawa again."

Hatake Kakashi didn't argue with him anymore. He looked up at Eiichiro on the podium and said.

"uncertain!"

Uchiha Obito snorted and said, "I think it's Lin."

"I can't compare to Hanekawa's."

Nohara Lin shook her head and said.

"Lin, you have to have confidence."

Uchiha Obito quickly said, "You almost surpassed him in the last monthly exam."

"I will now announce the rankings of yesterday's theory test."

Just then, Eiichiro spoke up, "First place, Hanekawa."

Uchiha Obito's face froze, and he didn't know what to say.

Nohara Lin was calm.

The reason why I did so poorly in the last monthly exam was that Hanekawa was delayed for two weeks because he was out on a mission.

"The last one is Uchiha Obito."

Eiichiro closed the list and said, "Gather at the playground in ten minutes to start the practical test."

"what!"

Uchiha Obito said unwillingly, "The last one again!"

Nohara Lin was hesitant to speak, not knowing how to comfort him.

She could understand why Hanekawa was number one for four consecutive years, but she couldn't understand why Uchiha Obito was last for four consecutive years.

Is the theory test really that difficult?

"Let's go to the playground."

Hatake Kakashi looked at Hanekawa, and a hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

Although he has never won, it doesn't mean he will give up.

Now is his last chance, so he naturally has to do his best.

Because Hanekawa will graduate in the fifth grade.

After graduating from the Ninja School, there will no longer be practical examinations, but rather an assessment of the Three Body Techniques.

Hanekawa and Yuhi Kurenai left the classroom one after another.

There are already quite a few students on the playground.

He also saw Uchiha Shisui, Uzuki Yugao and Mitarashi Anko.

Because he was about to take an exam, he didn't go up to say hello.

"Hong, I will definitely not lose this time!"

Asuma Sarutobi walked up to the two men and said with a solemn oath.

"What if you lose again?"

Xihi Kurenai chuckled and asked.

"I...I'll treat you to barbecue!"

Asuma Sarutobi noticed the calm Hanekawa and subconsciously steadied his hand.

"also."

Yuhi Kurenai pointed at Nohara Rin and the others and said, "We need to invite them as well."

"no problem!"

Asuma Sarutobi said nonchalantly, "It's just a small amount of money!"

"Hey, we haven't agreed yet!"

Uchiha Obito protested.

"Obito."

Nohara Lin shook her head and said, "They are all friends."

"OK then."

Uchiha Obito could only agree.

His original plan was to invite Nohara Lin to dinner alone after the exams were over.

"Time is up, students whose names I called out, please step out and compete."

Eiichiro clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, "The first match is Shizune vs. Yuhi Kurenai."

Shizune did not follow Tsunade, and her strength was not as good as Kurenai Yuhi, so she was quickly defeated.

One competition after another.

The one who made the most progress was Matt Kay.

He has now gradually mastered the Eight Gates, and his physical strength has greatly improved.

In the original work, Might Guy did not graduate with Kurenai Yuhi and the others, he graduated two years earlier.

But unfortunately, his theoretical performance is not good.

"Azure Yuhi vs. Asuma Sarutobi."

Eiichiro shouted loudly.

"Are you ready with the money?"

Xihihong asked with a smile.

"Humph!"

Asuma Sarutobi suddenly realized that Kurenai Yuhi was just like Hanekawa, and became very irritating.

The two men came to the center of the venue and formed the seal of opposition.

Following Hanekawa's advice, Yuhi Kurenai first used water jutsu.

Asuma Sarutobi responded with Wind Style. Although he also had Fire Style, it was restrained by Water Style.

The two men started to fight each other with ninjutsu, causing the onlookers to exclaim in surprise.

Although he was using ninjutsu over and over again, it was rare for a student who had not yet graduated.

At first, Asuma Sarutobi was still on guard against Kurenai Yuhi's illusion, but the continuous ninjutsu battle made him gradually forget about it.

The trick in the fox's mind!
Seeing that the time was almost right, Xihi Kurenai formed seals with both hands and secretly turned the water escape technique into an illusion.

However, Asuma Sarutobi thought it was a water jutsu and was staring at her intently, and then he was hit.

not good!

Although he reacted immediately, it was too late.

After he released the illusion, a water dragon rushed towards him.

Asuma Sarutobi flew out and fell to the ground.

"The winner is Xihi Hong."

Eiichiro said with some emotion.

The progress of Xi Ri Hong is truly incredible.

After all, she defeated the son of the Hokage.

In fact, after taking over the class in the first year, Eiichiro always thought that the first place would be Asuma Sarutobi.

But the result far exceeded his expectations.

Asuma Sarutobi first lost to Kakashi Hatake, then lost to Hanekawa, and now lost to Kurenai Yuhi.

If he continues to lose, the son of the Hokage will lose face.

The time soon came to noon.

The ranking is similar to last year, with Hanekawa in first place, Hatake Kakashi in second place, and Yuhi Kurenai in third place.

Asuma Sarutobi treated everyone to a barbecue meal as agreed.
