Chapter 364
[“I’ve never heard of the Sarutobi clan having strong vitality. They are good at fire escape, and it is easy for them to have people who possess all chakra properties!”]
[“Throughout the battle, Shikamaru performed well in analyzing Hidan, but was mediocre in other aspects. As a result, Hidan’s weakness was made up by his companions!”]
[“This is the importance of strength. It is the most critical factor affecting victory or defeat. The others are just embellishments!”]
“It really turned out like this...” Shikamaru lowered his head in despair, covering his forehead. No matter how many mental assumptions were made, no one could remain indifferent to such things.
“I think it’s okay.”
Asuma was quite relieved. For those of them who grew up in the war era, their acceptance of death must be higher than that of ninjas born in peacetime, so he, the ‘sacrificed’ party, had to turn around and comfort these depressed students.
"Okay, stop making those expressions. I'm still standing in front of you. If you don't want to lose me, your teacher, you should train hard and improve your strength."
[Konoha, Hong in a red dress is watering the flowers on the balcony. Looking at the petals scattered on the balcony by the water droplets, Hong seems to sense something and looks out the window. ]
['Asuma...']
[After completing the ritual, Hidan was so happy that he rolled his eyes. Shikamaru showed a look of despair, tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and he looked at Asuma who fell to the ground and screamed in despair. ]
["Asuma!!!"]
[The unacceptable development even made Shikamaru panic and fall to the ground without keeping a steady pace. Hidan retracted his weapon, and after the black skin on his body quickly faded, he said to Kakuzu: "I've done it."]
[Kakuzu said that he would be done soon, and seeing that the two still didn't take them seriously, Shikamaru propped himself up and launched an attack while cursing. Seeing this, Kakuzu immediately threw out Kamatsuki Izumo, causing the two to collide with each other. 】
["Oh, there's a beauty! I want all her information within five minutes!"]
["Not five minutes, Yuhi Kurenai, Konoha's jonin, is good at illusions. She just became a guiding jonin this year and is in charge of the group of Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino and Hyuga Hinata!"]
["There are quite a few undercovers hiding in Konoha..."]
["It's okay, they are just some popular information!"]
["Then, why did she appear on the sky?"]
["Hmm! I don't understand this kind of camera language? This woman is obviously related to Asuma!"]
["It must be a lover or wife. This kind of premonition of death often happens between close people, but there has been no reasonable explanation so far!"]
After seeing Asuma being pierced through the heart, Kurenai's face was filled with worry, but after seeing that she seemed to have become a lover with him, she felt a little shy, so that her face turned red and white.
Kiba, Shino and Hinata looked at each other and wanted to tease and congratulate Hong, but the current occasion didn't seem appropriate.
Ino-Shika-Chou recovered quickly. Although she was still sad, Ino wiped her tears and smiled and teased: "It seems that Asuma-sensei will have good things soon. Please come to my flower shop every day and give each bouquet of flowers to Teacher Hong!"
Scratching his head, Asuma, who had a big beard, was also a little embarrassed by the teasing, "I'm trying! I'm trying!"
Looking at his silly look, Shikamaru couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and secretly made up his mind: 'No matter what, I will never let Asuma experience the future on the sky again! ’
[“Pain! Pain! Such a desperate voice!”]
[“Another young man who has never experienced the death of a loved one!”]
[“What if he has experienced it? No matter how many times, the death of a loved one should be expressed in this way!”]
[“I suddenly understand why Orochimaru pursues the art of immortality...”]
[“It is precisely because tangible things will disappear that we will cherish the beauty in front of us, right?”]
[Before Kakuzu could make another attack, a group of crows suddenly appeared in the venue and attacked Kakuzu and Hidan. ]
[Originally Kakuzu didn’t take it seriously, but the next second, the black knife-wielding Raido, who was hiding in the crows, appeared in front of Kakuzu in an instant and stabbed him in the face with a swift thrust. Although Kakuzu, who reacted quickly, tilted his head to avoid the attack, it also forced him to loosen his hands that were pinching Kamatsuki Izumo and Gang Zitetsu, and distanced himself from the group.. ]
[Then Choji appeared beside Asuma, holding his arm and lifting him up, and Ino also came to Shikamaru and greeted him. ]
[The two took Asuma and Shikamaru to the rooftop nearby, where Yamashiro Aoba kept the seal and controlled the crows to harass Kakuzu and Hidan continuously, until they were forced back a certain distance again, and then he lifted the crows' spiritual summons and ended this round of cover. ]
["Tsk, this reinforcement came just in time! (sarcastic)"]
["It really came on time, even if it was one minute earlier, there might be a chance to save it!"]
["I started counting from the moment those two attackers said "reinforcements will come in twenty minutes", and now it's almost twenty-two minutes, it's overtime!"]
["It's normal, people are not machines, how can everything go according to plan!"]
["It's because of these uncertainties that there are so many ninja casualties every year! ”]
[“These reinforcements...the black swords are similar, the one controlling the crows is unknown, Akimichi Choji of Ino-Shika-Chou, this girl seems to be the representative of the Yamanaka clan of Ino-Shika-Chou...”]
[“It’s the new generation of Ino-Shika-Chou, Yamanaka Ino!”]
[“Very pretty, I saw it the time they went to the bathhouse together, um...”]
[“You think they are pretty? I’m embarrassed to expose you!”]
Ino was a little speechless. What were these people discussing in that atmosphere? Even if she was praised in this situation, she wouldn’t be happy, okay?
Chōji was a little concerned about the comments discussing that they were late, and muttered with a somewhat unconfident expression: “Is it because I was too slow and dragged everyone down... If I was arranged with Shikamaru and the others at that time...”
“Chōji! "Shikamaru interrupted Choji's assumption: "Don't doubt the personnel arrangement on the tent. We are not gods. It is impossible to predict everything. Don't take on responsibilities that do not belong to you."
