Chapter 14: "Assist" from Sasuke

Based on Sasuke's understanding of the Third Hokage, he felt that this must be a decision made by the Third Hokage to maintain his power as the Third Hokage!

 

You know, there are so many excellent jonin in Konoha Village, why did they choose Kurenai Yuhi?

 

After all, Team 8 is best at reconnaissance ninjutsu, and Kurenai Yuhi is only good at illusions. I really don't know what the Third Hokage is thinking. It's too difficult for her to lead this class.

 

Thinking of this, Sasuke couldn't help but think of the Uchiha clan's land that was taken away by the Third Hokage, and a surge of anger suddenly surged in his heart.

 

He turned his head to look at Asuma Sarutobi, thinking: Then I'll start with you!

 

Haven't you always wanted to pursue Kurenai Yuhi?

 

Then I'll help you!

 

After thinking for a moment, Sasuke smiled and said to Kurenai:

 

"I think Kurenai is amazing.

 

Kurenai successfully became a jonin this year without much support!

 

And I heard that among the ninjas of your time, only a few can become jonin, and even those who are slightly stronger are only special jonin."

 

Hearing what Sasuke said, Kurenai Yuhi felt a little better, and she replied modestly:

 

"It's not as exaggerated as you said, Sasuke, but thank you for your compliment."

 

Ino on the side was slightly surprised and couldn't help but exclaim:

 

"Huh? Kurenai became a jonin just this year?"

 

Sakura also showed surprise and said:

 

"That's amazing! I wonder when I can become a jonin like Teacher Kurenai..."

 

Sasuke nodded and added thoughtfully:

 

"That's right, and the team led by Teacher Kurenai is the most outstanding group of students in the ninja school this year.

 

Doesn't this prove that even the Hokage is very optimistic about Teacher Kurenai!"

 

When the Third Hokage was mentioned, Yuhi Kurenai's face became a little worried, and she sighed softly:

 

"I really don't understand why the Hokage made such an arrangement. I feel so stressed now..."

 

Hearing this, Asuma looked a little unnatural and embarrassed.

 

Kurenai Yuhi keenly caught this point. She frowned slightly, stared at Asuma sharply, and asked:

 

"Asuma, did you say something in front of the Hokage?"

 

"How could it be! How could I do such a thing?

 

Kurenai, you must believe in your own strength!" Asuma Sarutobi quickly and firmly denied it.

 

Sasuke also interrupted at this time:

 

"I also believe in Kurenai-sensei. Kurenai-sensei became a jonin by relying on her own strength!"

 

His eyes were full of determination and trust, as if he was cheering for Kurenai-sensei.

 

However.

 

After hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi's face became more serious and stern. Her sharp eyes were like nails, tightly locked on Asuma, as if she wanted to see his true thoughts deep in his heart through his eyes.

 

"Asuma, I hope you can tell me the truth and explain what exactly caused me to become the guiding jonin of Team 8!"

 

Kurenai Yuhi's voice was firm and unquestionable.

 

Seeing this, Sasuke smiled secretly in his heart.

 

It was just as he expected.

 

According to his understanding of Kurenai Yuhi, Kurenai's father, Shinku Yuhi, was unfortunately killed in the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

 

After losing the careful guidance of her father, a jonin, Kurenai Yuhi was still able to be promoted to jonin in such a short time.

 

Even without considering the assistance provided by Asuma Sarutobi, it would be almost impossible without Kurenai Yuhi's own unremitting efforts!

 

Therefore, it can be said that this is undoubtedly one of the things that Kurenai Yuhi is most proud of, as few people of the same age can become jonin.

 

Because of this, Kurenai Yuhi is absolutely unwilling to accept help from others, because it will cast a shadow on her proud achievements!

 

Under Sasuke's "fueling," the atmosphere between Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi became more and more tense.

 

Although Asuma Sarutobi repeatedly denied that he played any role in it, Kurenai Yuhi obviously did not believe his explanation.

 

But in Yuhi Kurenai's eyes at this moment, every tiny detail of Sarutobi Asuma would make him suspicious. She thought that the other party was lying to her!

 

Gradually, the whole table became quiet, with only the voices of two people talking.

 

Kakashi was stunned.

 

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the two of them, completely confused.

 

He hadn't listened to them carefully just now, he just ate silently to restore his strength.

 

After all, he was severely tortured by Sasuke during the day, and now he just wanted to have a good rest. He looked at the expressions of Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma, and then said:

 

"Asuma, did you make Kurenai angry again?

 

If it's not a big deal, just apologize and admit your mistakes."

 

He had seen this situation many times before. Obito and Rin would occasionally do this, but as long as they apologized, it would be fine.

 

Sasuke muttered silently in his heart:

 

"No wonder Kakashi is so handsome but still single. If he really admits his mistake, the consequences will only be more serious!"

 

At this moment, Kurenai's emotions seemed like a bomb that was about to explode.

 

If he apologized at this moment, the result would not be to dismantle the bomb, but to immediately light the fuse and detonate the bomb!

 

As expected...

 

Under Kakashi's "suggestion" with ulterior motives, Asuma Sarutobi had to admit it, but this made Kurenai's anger burst out instantly!

 

She reprimanded and criticized Asuma Sarutobi mercilessly, making Asuma Sarutobi even more confused. He had already admitted his mistake, so why was Kurenai even angrier?

 

After a while, when Kurenai's anger subsided a little, Sasuke quickly stood up to persuade her:

 

"Kurenai-sensei, please calm down. Asuma-sensei actually has good intentions.

 

And I firmly believe that with your own outstanding strength, even without the help of others, you can easily do these things.

 

Now that you, Kurenai-sensei, have become the instructor of Team 8, I think this can be seen as a test. I firmly believe that you, Kurenai-sensei, will become an outstanding instructor."

 

Yuhi Kurenai glared at Sarutobi Asuma again, and said unhappily:

 

"Who cares about your so-called good intentions!"

 

However, after hearing what Sasuke said next, Yuhi Kurenai's mood obviously improved a lot, and when she looked at Sasuke, she felt more and more pleased:

 

"Sasuke, when you fall in love and pursue girls in the future, you must treat them sincerely. Don't be like me, who is still single at such an old age."

 

"Kurenai-sensei is not old at all. If Kurenai-sensei was my girlfriend, I'm afraid a lot of male ninjas in Konoha would be jealous of me."

 

"Haha, Sasuke, you are too good at talking."
