Chapter 8:- Target—Kurenai

"Are you saying the Leaf Village can't tolerate someone like me?" He said while injecting more chakra into the chakra short blades.

This time, the blue light emitted was even brighter. This time, he must teach the other party a profound lesson. Otherwise, the other party wouldn't understand who truly rules the Leaf Village now.

Right now, his father serves as the Third Hokage. This village listens to their family's commands.

Slightly bending his legs, he was about to rush at the opponent again.

This time, he was determined to leave an unforgettable scar on the other party.

Ryousuke coldly watched the other party, sensing the sinister expression—this was the face of someone about to make a move.

Fortunately, his speed, strength, and physique had improved. Even if he couldn't win, he could at least defend himself.

Just as Asuma was about to strike, a woman blocked his path. Stopping his attack, he questioned her, "Kurenai, why are you stopping me?"

Kurenai angrily said, "Do you even know what you're doing now?"

"Are you planning to go all out?"

"Can't you look at the reactions around you?" She was truly worried that the other party might do something irreversible.

She didn't want the person standing up for her to get hurt; otherwise, she would feel guilty.

Asuma followed Kurenai's gaze to look around and noticed the people watching with fear in their eyes.

His face showed a trace of unease. It seemed he had been a bit impulsive.

But at this moment, Kurenai stepping out to criticize him made him feel even worse. It was as if a heavy stone weighed down on his heart.

Seeing Asuma's conflicted expression, and the fact that he still hadn't put away his weapon,

Kurenai scolded loudly, "You bastard, are you not even going to listen to me anymore?"

If he continued acting so impulsively, they wouldn't even be friends in the future, let alone lovers. She wouldn't associate with someone so reckless.

Asuma looked at Kurenai's expression, and his anger nearly boiled over. Although Kurenai had a point, she was supposed to be his future girlfriend.

Even if others could criticize him, she absolutely couldn't. Making up his mind, he decided to ignore Kurenai. His figure swiftly bypassed her and, with chakra-infused short blades in hand, charged at Uchiha Ryousuke.

This time, his speed was explosive.

However, to his surprise, the Uchiha on the other side blocked his attack with a horizontal block.

His eyes widened in disbelief. 'How was this possible?'

His speed this time was much faster than his previous attack. By all logic, the opponent shouldn't have been able to block it.

"You bastard, were you hiding your strength just now?"

If the other party's speed could keep up with his, it must mean they were hiding their abilities.

He hadn't expected that even with such an outburst of speed, the opponent could still keep up.

Asuma became even angrier when the other party remained silent. Was the opponent too lazy to even speak to him? That was far too arrogant.

"Let me show you how powerful I am!"

His blade movements became even faster, generating wind pressure. But everything was observed by the Sharingan. Ryousuke could only barely defend himself.

There was no chance to answer Asuma's question. Because the other party was serious now, and their strength was undoubtedly that of a strong chunin at the very least.

Ryousuke, having only slightly improved his attributes as a regular chunin, blocking such attacks was already a miracle.

Kurenai, seeing this scene, had a face full of anger. Striking a fellow villager so ruthlessly was too reckless and out of line.

Previously, Asuma was reckless but still capable of making friends, yet now he seemed completely irrational.

The battle between the two was intense. Ryousuke was doing his best to fend off the attacks, narrowly avoiding having his face slashed.

'This guy was serious!' Kurenai, seeing the Uchiha young man barely holding off Asuma's assault, was somewhat surprised.

While Asuma was rash, his talent was undeniable. Now, though Asuma had the upper hand, he still hadn't landed a hit on the other.

As a Leaf Village ninja, she felt compelled to act. She couldn't allow Asuma to make a grave mistake by harming a fellow villager.

Quickly drawing a kunai, she seized an opening and positioned herself in front of Asuma. Enough! If you strike again, you'll face me as your opponent!"

Sarutobi Asuma's face darkened as he saw this. 'Why would Kurenai stand in front of that Uchiha, especially knowing their clan was a hidden threat to the village?'

Seeing her determined expression, he realized the situation wasn't good. He had hoped to win her over, but now Kurenai seemed resolute in her stance.

"Kurenai, I didn't mean it." After speaking, he noticed several Anbu members approaching from a distance.

He let out a deep sigh and fled.

After Asuma left, the street began to calm down. Kurenai approached Ryousuke, concerned.

"Are you okay, Uchiha clan member? On behalf of Asuma, I apologize to you."

Ryousuke waved his hand and said, "Forget it. This has nothing to do with you. It was clearly Sarutobi Asuma's recklessness."

"But as a member of the Uchiha Police Force, no matter how strong the other party is, I must stop their unlawful actions."

Hearing this, Kurenai was slightly moved. This guy was different from the other Uchihas she'd encountered.

Most Uchihas always had a cold demeanor, unwilling to communicate with others or explain themselves. This one, however, not only looked rather handsome but also had a strong sense of justice.

But remembering she still had things to do, she said goodbye. "I have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

"Alright," Ryousuke replied.

Kurenai was undoubtedly a beautiful and captivating woman, with a great figure and stunning looks.

She also seemed very suitable for having children.

Maybe he could take the opportunity to build a good relationship with her and develop feelings.

That way, he could complete the "Many Children, Many Blessings" system mission and obtain a rare treasure chest.

———

Elsewhere, in the Hokage's office, news from the Anbu about Sarutobi Asuma attacking a member of the Uchiha clan on the street had already reached the Third Hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately summoned Asuma to the office, his face full of anger.

"Why were you so reckless?"

"As the Hokage's son, not only do you fail to set an example, but you even attack someone in public?"
