Chapter 44 - ch44

Asuma woke up and saw the icy scene, completely stunned.

"Who am I, and where am I?"

In the blink of an eye, upon seeing the figure of Uchiha Nanaya, a hint of displeasure surfaced in his heart.

"Why is this guy here?"

But when he saw the beautiful silhouette of Kurenai Yuhi, his expression immediately changed to a smile.

He eagerly ran over.

"Kurenai, are you alright?"

"Asuma, how are your injuries, and why are you here?"

Hearing Kurenai's words, Asuma felt as if he were floating on air.

"My God, beautiful Miss Kurenai, are you worried about me?"

Looking at Asuma's delighted face, Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Asuma was quite slovenly, his beard almost giving him a Li Kui-like appearance, and he had a penchant for smoking.

Kurenai Yuhi knew that Asuma was interested in her, but she wasn't interested in him.

She had rejected him several times, and if it weren't for the fact that he was the Hokage's son, she would have long since slapped him away.

Shiranui Genma and Aoba Yamashiro exchanged a knowing smile, fully aware of the situation.

Asuma's interest in Kurenai was no secret among their fellow Jōnin.

In their eyes, Asuma was like the foolish son of a wealthy landlord, a living example of a persistent admirer.

Sometimes they didn't know what to say to him because he was the Hokage's son.

[Ding! Host has killed one Kage-level powerhouse. Mission completion rate for killing three Jōnin is 1/3.]

[Mangekyō Sharingan Side Effects -30]

Wow, this Third Kazekage is considered a Kage-level powerhouse. Although he only possessed one-third of his original strength, he still held the title of a Kage!

Yet, he was considered equivalent to a Jōnin.

Nanaya discovered that after defeating the Third Kazekage, the system counted him as a Jōnin-level opponent.

Except for Kurenai Yuhi, who is a Chūnin, Asuma and the other two Jōnin were not opponents for the Third Kazekage.

Isn't that essentially one for three?

Nanaya couldn't help but complain.

But the reduction in Mangekyō Sharingan's side effects was real.

He had just used Kamui with his right eye again, and now his eyes didn't feel as tired anymore.

He didn't know why, but seeing Asuma injured, Shiranui Genma and Aoba Yamashiro seemed to find it somewhat amusing.

Curiously, they asked, "Asuma, Nanaya-kun was sent by Lord Hokage to solve the Third Kazekage, so why are you here?"

Asuma looked at Uchiha Nanaya in shock, pointing at him.

"What, you mean him? Uchiha Nanaya defeated the Third Kazekage and created this icy scene?"

"Yes, Nanaya is stronger than we thought; thanks to him this time."

Shiranui Genma replied without hesitation.

At this time, Asuma felt a chill all over and couldn't look directly at Uchiha Nanaya.

He had been stunned by the Third Kazekage in one move earlier.

And Uchiha Nanaya had managed to create such a glacial scene and defeat the Third Kazekage.

This completely awed Asuma.

In other words, the current Uchiha Nanaya possesses Kage-level strength, and in his own village, only his father, the Third Hokage, could match him.

Asuma touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "I sneaked out of the village secretly."

What?

Shiranui Genma and Aoba Yamashiro glanced in the direction Asuma was looking, then at Kurenai Yuhi, and they understood immediately.

"I saw your squad's distress signal from the Third Hokage and rushed over without stopping. I'm here to help you."

Aoba Yamashiro and Shiranui Genma exchanged looks.

In their minds, they thought he wasn't there to help them but to play the hero to rescue the damsel.

Without the instructions of the top officials of Konoha, ninjas who leave the village without permission are treated as traitors.

In serious cases, Anbu would even pursue and eliminate them.

But Asuma was different; he was the son of the Hokage, essentially the second generation of officials.

He could do as he pleased.

If it weren't for Uchiha Nanaya's involvement in this mission, their team would have been responsible for any accidents.

It could be said that Asuma's arrival didn't help and was even a burden.

As the captain, Shiranui Genma couldn't say much because of Asuma's status.

They dared not speak, but Kurenai was different.

She immediately scolded: "Asuma, do you know the consequences of a ninja leaving the village without permission? Besides, you are violating the ninja's code."

"Kurenai, listen to me. I was worried about you and your safety. Besides, I registered my departure with Kotetsu Hagane. Even if the Third Hokage finds out, he won't say anything."

This was a blatant show-off.

My father is the Hokage, so what's the problem?

Kurenai cast a contemptuous look at Asuma.

As a Jōnin, he didn't even have the consciousness of a ninja, and he was proud of it, which made her feel that this was an insult to the ninja way.

Without Uchiha Nanaya, Asuma's behavior would have been a mere nuisance, meaningless.

Kurenai Yuhi ignored Asuma and turned to Nanaya.

"Nanaya-kun, thank you for this time."

"It's no problem, it's my duty."

From Kurenai Yuhi's eyes, Nanaya sensed a trace of disdain for Asuma.

Curiously, he used his Sharingan's favorability query.

This could not only assess others' goodwill toward him but also evaluate how others felt about each other.

And it didn't require entering the Sharingan state.

Name: Kurenai Yuhi

Age: 23

Height: 169.1 cm

Weight: 54.4 kg

Personality: meticulous

Blood type: AB

Hobbies: drinking at night

Favorability: target(?)

[Ding, please choose a target for the Host!]

"Sarutobi Asuma!"

Confirmed.

Target: Sarutobi Asuma

Kurenai Yuhi's favorability rating: 55

55, it turned out to be 55.

You know, even strangers who don't know each other have an average likability of 60.

If it's less than 60, then there is an element of dislike or aversion.

Anything lower signifies hatred or resentment.

It can be seen from this that Kurenai Yuhi really dislikes Asuma.

Out of curiosity, Nanaya also looked at the favorability ratings of the other two toward Asuma.

Aoba Yamashiro's favorability rating for Asuma is 62.

Shiranui Genma's favorability rating for Asuma is 64.

These are common favorability values for acquaintances.

It seems that Asuma's reputation among his peers wasn't very good.

Uchiha Nanaya looked at Kurenai's favorability ratings for them.

Kurenai Yuhi has a favorability rating of 72 for Aoba Yamashiro and 73 for Shiranui Genma.

This indicates the good feelings between close friends.

In the end, Nanaya was surprised to find that Kurenai Yuhi had a favorability rating of 75 for him.

There was no denying it, maybe he was the most handsome of the group.

Additionally, the favorability value for saving them just now had increased.

Seeing Uchiha Nanaya looking at them with curious eyes, Kurenai couldn't help but ask:

"Nanaya-kun, what are you looking at?"
