Chapter 112 Asma's Question
Muto Saika had no idea what was wrong with her body; her steps were even beyond her control.
Even though I was thinking of going far away, as far away from this tent as possible, why did my feet turn around against my will, and my hands seemed to have their own ideas, abruptly pulling open the tent flap?
Maybe, maybe—maybe I'm just concerned about Kanako's situation.
After all, the other party's condition was somewhat off.
The curtain was pulled back.
Inside the tent, the two people who were sparring stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the door.
Shenyue Nebula:
"————"
Kanako: "——???"
Time seemed to freeze. Three seconds later, Kanako, between breaths, said, "Saika, what are you still doing here?"
Muto Saika remained rooted to the spot.
She looked at the two people in the tent, her hands clenched tightly, her knuckles turning white, and her already rapid heart rate quickly rose to a terrifying speed.
She even felt as if there was a roaring machine inside her chest, with continuous thumping vibrations, almost as if it were about to jump out of her chest.
A voice swept through her brain, which had briefly malfunctioned due to her rapid heartbeat, and came out of her mouth.
"I'm not entirely at ease."
"Do you need any help?"
Shingetsu Nebula: "???"
Kanako: "???!!!"
Kanako choked.
She looked at Muto Saika with a puzzled expression, feeling as if her mind was filled with nothing but civilization.
Not sisters?
I know you're a bit too formal, but this is just too much!
Will you help us when we're sparring? What kind of help?
I can't think of anything where I need your help.
Meeting Kanako's piercing gaze, Muto Saika felt a little scared, but she still didn't move her feet.
She didn't even know why, but she already had a plan in mind. If Kanako asked her what kind of help she needed, she would answer, "Your voice is too loud, I'm afraid others will hear."
"It can help you not make a sound."
However, Kanako did not ask.
She simply looked at Muto Saika, then said in an unquestionable voice, "Leave."
"I'll count to three."
'
Finally, Muto Saika lowered the curtain.
Turning around and looking at the scattered tents in the camp, for some reason, she didn't feel the embarrassment or unease of being driven away. Instead, she felt as if a layer of hesitation had been completely dispelled from her heart.
She walked a little further away.
Then it quietly approached and stood there silently.
I'll keep an eye on people for you.
"Okay, that's settled."
After a long twenty minutes, Shingetsu Seiun left Kanako's camp, citing the reason that she could not stay away from the team for too long.
After he left, Muto Saika cautiously slipped into Kanako's tent.
Kanako was resting after the sparring session when she saw Mutou Saika acting suspiciously. Perhaps she was tired, because her voice wasn't as cold as before.
"Why are you back again?"
Muto Saika said, "I'm concerned about you."
"Hmph." Kanako snorted lightly, "Don't say such things."
"I've seen through you."
Muto Saika was silent for a moment, then sat down next to Kanako and said in a coaxing tone, "Kanako."
Have you heard the story of ten chopsticks?
Kanako: "No."
"I don't want to hear it either."
"Please turn right after you exit, thank you."
"A person can easily break a chopstick."
"But if ten chopsticks are together, it becomes very difficult to break them." Muto Saika ignored Kanako's attitude and began to explain.
"I'm a ninja." Kanako looked at her. "I can break twenty chopsticks, let alone ten."
"Do you believe that once I become a Jonin, I can even break you?"
"Oh dear, you're in such a hurry again." Mutou Saika leaned closer and whispered, "What I want to say is, you're not the kind of person who can break chopsticks."
"What I'm trying to say is, is it possible that you are that chopstick?"
Kanako leaned back slightly, looking at her warily: "What are you going to say?"
Muto Saika became slightly more serious: "You are Nebula's girlfriend now."
"But don't you feel any sense of crisis at all?"
Kanako replied without hesitation, "No."
"Nebula promised me she would never leave me."
"What if?"
"There's no 'what if'!"
"One tree cannot make a forest; haven't you ever thought about making your position more secure?"
"I know what you're going to say," Kanako said firmly, "but please don't say anything more."
"I will absolutely not agree."
"You scheming woman."
Muto Saika felt somewhat aggrieved.
How can someone as naive and kind-hearted as me be considered a scheming woman?
However, no matter how she tried to seduce or entice Kanako, she maintained the same attitude.
Cooperation is not permitted. Please leave immediately.
Helpless, Mutou Saika suppressed her resentment and, before leaving the tent, turned back and said, "Think about what I said again."
"If you change your mind, you can come back to me anytime."
Her response was a shoe that flew out.
Kurenai Yuhi was refining chakra, while Asuma Sarutobi was diligently practicing his dual swords outside the tent. He wielded the two short blades with impressive skill, his movements becoming much smoother and more fluid than before.
Upon seeing Shingetsu Seiun return, Sarutobi Asuma sheathed his sword and stood there, calming his surging blood and qi while jokingly greeting him.
"The captain is back."
"Captain, how's everything going?"
Shenyue Xingyun ignored the other party.
The other party has been getting a bit cocky lately.
Sarutobi Asuma continued, "There's a ninja exchange event at headquarters tomorrow. Ninjas who aren't on missions right now can go and learn. Are you going?"
Shenyue Xingyun shook her head: "I'm not going."
"Why?" Sarutobi Asuma asked, puzzled. "Are you going to Kanako's again?"
"no."
Shenyue Xingyun said, "I'll visit the other camps tomorrow."
"Go check if your girlfriend is there."
Throughout the Northwest Front, Orochimaru was the overall commander, with Jonin captains and Jonin squad leaders under him, each responsible for their own camp. Kanako's camp was near him, and statistically speaking, excluding a few still in the village, the probability of having a girlfriend on each of Konoha's various fronts should be two or three.
Upon hearing his reply, Sarutobi Asuma let out a dry laugh.
He wiped his twin swords clean and carefully put them away. Then, as if remembering something, his eyes flickered, and he moved closer to Shenyue Xingyun.
The latter cautiously took a step back.
"what?"
Sarutobi Asuma gave a fawning smile.
"That... Nebula."
"There are some things I want to ask you."

Shenyue Xingyun said, "Ask away."
"You don't need to get this close."
Sarutobi Asuma obediently stopped approaching and asked, "Nebula, what are some tips for getting along with women?"
'
Teach me.
Shenyue Xingyun thought for a moment and said, "It should be nothing."
"Nonsense." Sarutobi Asuma looked incredulous. "How could someone as skilled as you not have a trick?"
"I don't believe it!"
