(T/N: Sorry for disappearing so suddenly. There's a lot of real world's matters that need to be done. So I can't spare time to translate the Novel. I'll try to do mass release as compensation of not translating for a long time. Please support me as always. Thank you all!!!!)

After the war on Hōzuki Castle, Ōnoki and Kitsuchi were disabled by serious injury. Not to mention the high-end combat power level was hit hard by the war, and the elite Shinobi they brought also suffered heavy losses.

In this situation, it is not that Iwagakure wants to continue the war, but that Konoha is not willing to give up his advantage.

However, Iwagakure, who had been so unlucky for so long, finally got lucky.

The monster named "Satori" wreaked havoc on the battlefield, grabbing Shinobi and feeding it to Box of Ultimate Bliss.

It is stronger than Jinchūriki, and the shadows of the villages can only drive it away. The only person who can make the monster feel fear and horror is Sōseki.

And this discovery also brought Sōseki's power on the battlefield to a peak.

Sōseki was able to do things that the experts in every village couldn't do, which naturally made him crazily worshipped.

However, it is precisely because of the harassment of this monster that Konoha has been unable to launch a total attack, giving Iwagakure a little room to gasp for breath.

For Satori, the chaotic and disorderly large-scale battlefield is like a shark smelling blood, and the accumulation of negative emotions make him very excited.

The most important thing is that the experts on battlefield are all entangled, and there is no way to back away first to deal with it.

This also makes battlefield become a slaughterhouse for Satori every time a total attack is launched.

After discovering this, the two sides maintained a superficial peace and kept the war within a small area.

Konoha looks for a way to deal with the monster, and Iwagakure patiently accumulates their strength.

Under this undercurrent surging, one year passed quickly.

...

Temporary hospital.

After completing the treatment for an injured Chunin, Sōseki smiled and said, "Okay, you are healed completely now."

"Sōseki-sama, I am truly grateful!" Although he was grateful, the wounded Chunin has fanatical worship in his eyes.

"I just played an insignificant role." Sōseki smiled and pointed to the three people next to him, "You should really thank the three of them."

The injured Chunin smiled and rubbed the heads of the little fellows, "Little doctors, you guys are so awesome!"

Kabuto smiled gently and said, "You're too polite. Compared with sensei, we are still far behind!"

Looking at this inexplicably familiar smile, the injured Chunin was momentarily in a daze, as he seemed to see the shadow of Sōseki on Kabuto's body.

'Is this little fellow trying to imitate Sōseki-sama?' Chunin smiled inwardly, but wasn't really surprised.

As Konoha's light, the hero of the battlefield, Sōseki is naturally admired and imitated by many people.

Moreover, this kind of fanaticism is not only happening in Konoha, as even Sunagakure has a large number of Sōseki's loyal fans.

After the injured Chunin was healed and left, the hospital was empty again.

Sōseki smiled and praised, "The three of you have made very good progress. In a few years, you may be able to complete the operation on your own."

Hearing this, Kabuto looked up in admiration and said, "It's all thanks to you, sensei. Moreover, completing the operation independently is really not something to be proud!"

Hasu and Kiri also nodded their heads vigorously, "Sensei, we heard that you are able to perform a difficult operation alone at our age!"

Just then, there was a laugh coming from outside the door, "You guys, why are you trying to compare with an abnormal monster?"

Hearing this, the three little fellows looked at the door angrily.

As soon as Asuma walked in, he was greeted by three pairs of murderous eyes. Seeing this, he couldn't help but scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "Haha, did I say something wrong?"

The three kids said in unison, "You're so rude! Sensei is not a monster!"

"Just that?" Asuma didn't know whether to cry or laugh upon hearing this, 'Sōseki, your status in their hearts is too high!'

However, he knew he was at fault and apologized, "Okay, I apologize, I shouldn't say that Sōseki is a monster."

'It should be a Bijū without tail...' Of course, Asuma didn't dare to say this.

Seeing this, the three kids reluctantly let him go.

Sōseki smiled and said at the right time, "You're finally from a blind date?"

Asuma suddenly embarrass and complained, "I'm only thirteen and a half years old! Why do I have to bear the pressure that I shouldn't bear at this age?"

Although Sōseki was quite speechless about this, he still said, "This is also Hokage-sama's concern!"

"If he really concerned, he should also be concerned about my brother. He has been married for several years and still have not had children." Asuma then said with envy, "Tsunade-sama is better. She never concerned about you in such boring things, Sōseki."

Kabuto, who is on the side, then said with a venomous smile, "I think, from Tsunade-sama's point of view, with the sensei's charm, she doesn't have to concern about this kind of thing at all!"

"That's also..." Asuma said, but was startled, 'Huh, something seems wrong with that statement?'

The two little girls murmured, "Oh, in other words, the charm of Asuma-sama is so bad that Hokage-sama is concerned about it?"

Asuma's expression darkened upon hearing this, 'These little fellows are so uncute!'

After coughing twice, Asuma quickly took out a scroll and changed the subject, "Sōseki, the old man asked me to hand this over to you."

Sōseki took the scroll and asked, "Is there a mission?"

Asuma shrugged, "I don't know, I didn't take a peek."

Sōseki opened the scroll, and then frowned slightly, "It is written in a secret code? You can sit here for a while, I'll translate it."

Sōseki got up and left, and the room turned into an awkward state of big eyes staring at small eyes again.

Asuma had no choice but to look for a topic with an awkward smile, "This hospital is quite deserted, and there have been no patients for so long."

Hearing this, Kabuto said helplessly, "It can't be helped, after all, there has been no war for a long time now!"

Hasu sighed, "In fact, there were still some people before, but after sensei gave the order that self-harm is strictly prohibited, there are a lot fewer people coming."

"Self-harming? What's going on?" Asuma was a little confused. As the two sides were in peace during this period of time, he was called back to go on a blind date. Therefore, he really didn't know much about what happened in the camp.

Kiri covered her mouth and snickered, "It's because sensei is too charming, not to mention Kunoichi, even male Shinobi have deliberately self-harming themselves to seek sensei for treatment."

Hearing this, Asuma's eyes can't help but widened, 'Such thing is possible?'

Kabuto looked Asuma and said, "Actually, is very envious of you, Asuma-sama!"

Asuma suddenly became interested, and even raised his eyebrows as he asked, "Why does Sōseki envy me?"

Kabuto narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Of course he envies your mediocrity. If sensei grows like you, there would not be so much confusion and trouble!"

Hearing this, Asuma's face is distorted, 'What do you mean grow up like me? In the Academy, me like Sōseki is also call the school idol, okay?'

Hasu retorted in time, "Your statement is too shallow..."

Hearing Hasu arguing for him, Asuma felt a little more balanced.

Then, he heard Hasu say: "With sensei's strength and aura, even if he grows up to be like Asuma-sama, he will still be very popular."

Hearing this, Kabuto suddenly showed a realization and said embarrassedly, "I'm wrong"

At this moment Asuma showed grief and indignation look, 'I can't continue talking today!'

When Sōseki walked out with the scroll, he saw Asuma leaning on the chair with blank eyes, like a useless person that had lost his dream.

Sōseki was taken aback and said, "Asuma, what's wrong with you?"

Asuma clutched his chest and said, "Here, I am injured!"

"Then you should take good care of your injury." Sōseki laughed dumbly, "I planned to get you to go to Rōran with me to perform the missiontogether. But now, it seems that I should find someone else!"
