Chapter 193 The Lost Asuma Sarutobi

Nara Shikaku did not refute, but nodded in agreement.

"If the intelligence is largely correct, then it should be."

"This is also a good thing for the village. Another young powerhouse comparable to the Yellow Flash. The three generations of adults will be laughing in their sleep."

Hiashi Hyuga smiled, but the smile looked somewhat bitter.

Recalling Shingetsu Seiun's achievements, Hyuga Hiashi asked himself: If it were him, could he have done the same?

The answer left him somewhat disappointed.

Hyuga Hikaru boasts of being a major clan in Konoha and even the ninja world, but aside from his advantage in reconnaissance, the Byakugan's enhancement in battle is limited.

This distinction becomes more pronounced at higher levels. When a member is a genin or chunin, every Hyuga clansman is a treasure in the team, but their status begins to decline once they reach jonin.

After Hyuga Tennin, a Kage-level figure, how long has it been since the Hyuga clan produced a renowned Kage-level individual?

While the successive heads of the Hyuga clan may have been quite powerful, the clan's rule against taking unnecessary risks has caused the Hyuga clan's reputation to decline day by day.

Take himself as an example.

Since assuming the position of head of the Hyuga clan, he has considered himself to be diligent and conscientious, working tirelessly and wholeheartedly for the development of the clan.

But how long has it been since he last fought on the front lines?

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, the White Fang of Konoha, the Yellow Flash—these are just a few of the names that shine brightly in the ninja world, but not the name of Hiashi Hyuga. Within his clan, he was the revered clan leader, the authority of the clan. But in the entire ninja world, he was merely the "Clan Leader of the Hyuga Clan."

Now, another rising star of Konoha is emerging, and he can't help but feel a mix of emotions.

At this moment, Choza Akimichi remarked with admiration, "What an enviable talent."

"How old is Jonin Seiun again this year?"

Nara Shikaku thought for a moment and said, "It's been less than three years since I graduated from the Ninja Academy."

"But I heard that Jonin Nebula repeated two grades at the Ninja Academy, so if that's the case—he should be an adult this year, right?"

Hiashi Hyuga suddenly spoke up: "To be precise, he'll be an adult in a month."

Choza Akimichi's eyes widened: "How do you know so much?"

Hiashi Hyuga said, "The main family lost their Byakugan, and the branch family was killed in action. I carefully checked their information before coming here."

Akimichi Choza then realized what was happening.

The group's emotions were somewhat complicated. Nara Shikaku said, "Chief Hiashi."

"In that case, let's wait and see."

"When the Jonin from Nebula returns, he might bring back news about the Byakugan."

Hiashi Hyuga said no more, nodded in agreement, and left with three Hyuga ninja.

The major events that Shenyue Xingyun was undertaking in Wuyin could not be kept secret.

Not long after Nara Shikaku and other high-ranking officials learned of Shingetsu Seiun's attack on Kirigakure, more and more Konoha ninjas learned of the news.

As for where the information came from, it is impossible to know. However, there is no need to hide such news. Soon, the news spread from the camp like a gust of wind.

"Hey! Did you hear? The Jonin from Nebula went to Kirigakure and caused a huge ruckus!"

"Have you heard? A Jonin from Nebula and a ninja from Sunagakure teamed up to attack Kirigakure, and I heard the Third Mizukage was even killed!"

"Have you heard? The Jonin from Nebula destroyed Kirigakure's stronghold, and even if all the Kirigakure members went in, they couldn't stop him."

"I've heard about it. I heard that Kirigakure attacked our warehouse, and Nebula King couldn't stand it and chased them all the way to Kirigakure's lair."

"Huh? Where did you hear this version from?"

"What I heard was that the girlfriend of the Jonin Nebula was killed by the people of Kirigakure, and he went to Kirigakure's stronghold alone to seek revenge?"

Almost, almost.

"But it was really exhilarating."

"I heard that someone stormed the enemy's stronghold and managed to escape unscathed. I wish I could have done that."

"You? Your legs are shaking when you come back from taking a dump, you think you can handle something this big? Don't dream about it!"

"You think you're so great? You need to hold onto the wall to stand up just to pee. You're even worse off than me!"

Similar arguments were taking place throughout the camp.

A young ninja from our own side went alone to the enemy's lair and caused a huge upheaval; just hearing about it is astonishing.

As the ninjas heard the news, they embellished it and spread it further, resulting in a growing number of versions.

Some people felt fortunate that the village had such a young expert, while others fantasized about one day being able to single-handedly defeat the stronghold of another village and strike fear into the hearts of their enemies.

But some people have more complicated feelings, especially those who know the protagonist of the incident.

The entrance to a tent.

Sarutobi Asuma slumped unceremoniously on a beach chair, two short swords stuck in the ground in front of him.

He stared at the sky, his gaze somewhat vacant.

When Kurenai, who had come out to fetch water, saw him like this, she asked in confusion, "Asuma? What are you doing sitting here?"

'

"Didn't you practice your sword today?"

Sarutobi Asuma snapped out of his daze, turned to look at Yuhi Kurenai, and his empty eyes turned numb.

"Practicing swordsmanship?"

"Practice my ass!"

"Asuma!" Kurenai Yuhi frowned. "Don't swear."

Sarutobi Asuma shut up in annoyance.

Kurenai walked up to Sarutobi Asuma and sat down on a small stool.

She asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Are you unhappy? Is it because of the news about Nebula?"

Sarutobi Asuma instinctively wanted to argue, but when the words reached his lips, he suddenly realized they were pointless.

What's there to argue about?

He nodded and said, "Yes."

"That's right."

"I'm not happy."

I'm envious! I'm jealous!

"What's wrong? Is it not working?"

Seeing Sarutobi Asuma lose his composure in front of her, which was rare for him, Kurenai Yuhi smiled gently.

Actually, she can understand the other person.

If her friend suddenly became a stunning beauty who could rival anyone in Konoha, she would also lose her composure. She knew that Sarutobi Asuma wasn't inherently bad; it was just that the goal he had been chasing had suddenly become an unattainable mountain, causing him to break down.

She gently comforted him, "Asma, I understand how you feel."

"However, don't let momentary emotions affect you. Once the emotions have passed, you still need to look forward."

"As long as you work hard, you will definitely be rewarded. Even if others get more rewards than us, we still have to work hard, right?"

""

Sarutobi Asuma looked at Yuhi Kurenai: "Can you really understand me?"

Yuhi Hong nodded: "Of course."

Sarutobi Asuma: "Nebula has taken off now, and you're jealous, aren't you?"

Kurenai hesitated for 0.1 seconds, then nodded firmly: "Of course."

"Back in school, Nebula was the worst student in the class. Now, she's gone ahead of us all. I'm not happy about it."

"I'm also jealous. I wish I were that good."

Of course it's a lie.
