Chapter 5

The Home of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Is Asuma still unwilling to come out?" Asked Hiruzen while smoking a cigarette.

Hiruzen was wearing the Hokage's robe. He was still in his prime and looked completely different from the old man we saw during the beginning of Naruto.

"I don't know what happened to this child. As soon as he got home today, he shut himself in the room. He didn't eat any food and didn't want to come out."

Hiruzen's wife Sarutobi Biwako said helplessly.

"Is that so? I'll go and see."

Sarutobi's face was a little tired, he had just finished his government affairs and returned home from the Hokage Building.

As he was the Third Hokage and Asuma's father. The class teacher Tanaka who was in charge of the elite class came to his office as soon as the class was over and reported everything that happened during the class to him.

In Asuma's room.

"But, how, how could I be so weak?"

Asuma buried himself entirely in the bed, his body trembling uncontrollably, and his eyes were full of fear. In his mind, he constantly recalled the things in the classroom.

When Youyu stared at him, he felt as if he was targeted by a demon, he felt trapped and felt he had nowhere to escape. He didn't know what happened after that but the feeling of death covered him and he still shivered thinking about it.

"Bang---Bang---"

There was a knock on the door, and Asuma trembled all over, and a cold sweat flowed formed on his back.

"Who is it?!"

Asuma was like a frightened rabbit, even his voice became shrill.

"Asuma, it's me."

The voice of the third Hokage sounded, and Asuma's mood gradually calmed down.

"Kacha---"

"Father, father."

Asuma rushed towards Sarutobi and looked at his face, first felt relieved and safe, and then he lowered his head in shame. He had always been rebellious, and now he felt ashamed to see his father at this moment.

He didn't want people to see him just as the son of the Third Hokage, Asuma does not like it when others treat him different because of his identity. But there was no doubt that this identity made Asuma a little arrogant.

When standing in front of Youyu who was the son of a civilian, he didn't dare to face him. Youyu didn't even have to take out the sword from the sheath to frighten him.

He was disgraced in front of everyone in the class in front of the girl he loved. This was unacceptable to Asuma the son of the Third Hokage

"Asuma, why didn't you come out to eat?" Asked Hiruzen

Sarutobi had always been stern towards Asuma. At this moment, seeing the panic in his son's eyes, his expression gradually softened.

"Father, father, I..."

Asuma panicked and couldn't form words to speak, he didn't know where to start from, he replayed the memory of what happened in his mind and the fear in his eyes became even worse.

"Come on, sit down and speak slowly."

Sarutobi's hand lightly rested on Asma's shoulder and patted him gently.

"Ok...."

Asuma, who had always been rebellious, was very well-behaved at the moment, and after his father's response, he sat down slowly.

Under Sarutobi's comfort, Asuma gradually returned to normal, and slowly said what was happened in the class today.

"Hoo----, so Yu did that?"

Sarutobi slowly blew out a smoke ring, with memories and nostalgia in his eyes.

After a short pause, Hiruzen got out of his trance and started comforting Asuma and tried to remove his fire, Hiruzen's strength might not match the previous 2 Hokages but his ability to talk and manipulate people was better than the both of them.

He told Asuma some bullshit about the will of fire and told him how many geniuses Konoha has produced some other shit and slowly cheered up Asuma and in a few words Asuma had recovered but the fear deep in Asuma's heart couldn't be removed.

"Okay now go and eat, don't make your mother worried."

Sarutobi sighed inwardly as he watched Asuma's face, although on the surface had returned to normal, he knew the fear hidden deep in his son's eyes was still here.

"Ok."

Thinking about his mother, Asuma nodded and walked out of the room slowly.

"Youren, you gave birth to a good son."

After Asma walked out of the room, Sarutobi slowly walked to the window and looked up at the dark starry sky with a complicated expression.

His eyes were filled with nostalgia, joy, and sadness.

Qi Mu Youren was originally a capable general under Sarutobi. He had the strength of elite Jonin and even today his strength was considered outstanding. Sarutobi admired this man very much.

Even the name Youyu was given to Youyu by Hiruzen.

It was a pity that during a secret mission, Qi Mu Youren died tragically because of Sarutobi's judgment error. At that time, Youyu's mother was still pregnant.

Knowing the news, she was filled with grief, and during childbirth, she passed away because of heavy bleeding.

Youyu, who was a son of an elite shinobi from became an orphan on the day he was born. Hiruzen was filled with guilt when he heard the news. Therefore, Hiruzen had always been very concerned about Youyu's growth.

After discovering that Youyu was drinking, he even used the transformation technique to stop him from going down the wrong path. But unfortunately, it did not affect him.

But later, Sarutobi discovered that Yuu's physique was very special. Alcohol not only didn't harm Youyu's body but also increased his Chakra.

So Sarutobi didn't stop Youyu from drinking. It was also because of this relationship that Youyu could successfully enter the Ninja academy. Otherwise, it would be impossible to enroll in the Ninja academy when you are a drunkard at such a young age.

Sarutobi also covered for Yu when he cut his teacher and caused serious injuries.

"Youren, I don't know if you would be delighted to see Youyu today, or..."

Sarutobi smoked a cigarette silently while looking at the dark sky.
