Chapter 76 Abyss in Dreams
In the moonlight, Shingetsu Seiun stared intently at Yuhi Kurenai, as if recognizing her for the first time.
Good guy.
So this is how popular you are!
Under his 'affectionate' gaze, Kurenai felt her face burning and subtly avoided his eyes.
"So, Nebula, it's a deal?"
"Wait a minute," said Shenyue Xingyun, "Red."
"I'm really touched that you said these things to me."
"But as your teammate, I have to remind you. Some things aren't as simple as they seem."
"I know you want to help me, but are you really sure?"
"Some things are much harder than we imagine."
I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it.
Kurenai immediately straightened up and said, "What's there to be unable to bear?"
"We are ninjas. We are not afraid of the dangers of missions, so what is there to be afraid of in helping our comrades?"
"Nebula, you have to believe me."
"Really?" Shen Yue Xingyun stretched out her right hand: "Hold on for ten minutes, and I'll believe you."
Kurenai was taken aback, and then a feeling of defiance suddenly welled up in her heart.
She really didn't believe that a long, slender, fair hand could possibly be more powerful than an enemy's long sword.
She chuckled softly, confidently extending her hand and placing it in Shenyue Xingyun's palm, their hands clasped together.
The bright moon disappeared into the clouds.
Kurenai held on for seven minutes.
Seven minutes later, Shenyue Xingyun voluntarily released her grip. If she hadn't, the other party would probably have discovered the fisherman's secret.
"Alright, Red."
"I believe you."
"It's getting late, we should head back."
Kurenai Yuhi snapped out of her daze. She gasped for breath, staring at Shingetsu Seiun, whose expression remained unchanged, her heart pounding, her eyes filled with profound shock.
Even after she got home and lay in bed, she couldn't calm down.
She almost lost.
She even felt like she was on the edge of a cliff, and that one more step would lead to a bottomless abyss.
Everything outside of reason was screaming at her to jump! Jump!
Even if it means being shattered to pieces, even if it means eternal damnation.
If Shingetsu Seiun hadn't stopped in time—Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but wonder what the consequences would have been.
She tossed and turned until late into the night before finally falling into a deep sleep.
In her dream, she clung tightly to a blurry face, falling together into an abyss—
The next day, at the Uchiha clan's training grounds.
As Shingetsu Seiun listened to Uchiha Mikoto explain how to fully unleash the power of the Great Fireball Jutsu, Sarutobi Asuma arrived. He immediately began peeking around, looking left and right.
Mikoto Uchiha asked疑惑地, "Asuma, what are you looking for?"
Sarutobi Asuma: "Mikoto-sensei, isn't Kurenai here?"
"No, what's wrong?"
Sarutobi Asuma frowned and said, "I didn't see her at her doorstep, so I thought she had arrived first."
"Maybe something came up," Mikoto Uchiha said dismissively. "Perfect timing. Come here, let me check if your strength has improved recently."
Sarutobi Asuma had no choice but to keep his worries to himself and focus on sparring with Uchiha Mikoto.
The sparring session went poorly. Uchiha Mikoto shook her head slightly, looked at Sarutobi Asuma who seemed lost in thought, and said nothing more.
Two hours later, Kurenai Yuhi arrived late. Upon seeing her, Asuma Sarutobi's eyes lit up.
"Hong!" He rushed over to greet her. "Why are you so late?"
"What happened?"
"It's nothing." Kurenai Yuhi shook her head.
However, Sarutobi Asuma knew Yuhi Kurenai all too well, and even though she tried her best to hide it, he easily noticed that something was wrong with her.
My hair isn't as smooth as it was yesterday, probably because I was in a rush to style it this morning. My complexion is a bit pale and not as rosy as it was yesterday. Most importantly, I have faint dark circles under my eyes.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Sarutobi Asuma asked with concern.
Kurenai thought for a moment and nodded.
"Um.
"I can't sleep because I keep thinking about the Chunin Exams."
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma's eyes were filled with heartache.
"Kurenai. It's just a regular Chunin Exam, don't worry about it. Don't fret, we'll work hard together, the Chunin Exam will definitely be fine."
"Mm." Kurenai nodded, forcing a smile. "I understand, Asuma."
Sarutobi Asuma: "Kurenai, do you want to take a break? There's no rush with the special training."
Kurenai shook her head: "It's nothing. I slept in a little longer this morning, so I'm fine now. Asuma, let's train together."
Sarutobi Asuma was relieved and excitedly agreed. He then joined Kurenai Yuhi in receiving special training from Uchiha Mikoto.
Occasionally, during breaks in practice, he would casually glance at Kurenai, his eyes filled with happiness and tenderness.
"Asuma!" At one point, Mikoto Uchiha exclaimed in confusion, "What's going on today?"
"Gleefully grinning, did you find some money yesterday?"
"No," Sarutobi Asuma lied with a light laugh. "I'm just excited about being able to participate in the Chunin Exams. In fact, he dreamed about Kurenai Yuhi last night."
In his dream, he and Kurenai Yuhi had grown into adults, married, had three children, and spent their days happily together, a perfect couple that everyone in Konoha envied.
He was in a daze in his dream, and he didn't know when the three children were born. He was just thinking about having a fourth child as soon as possible, and then the dream got stuck there.
He couldn't process what followed because of his limited experience, and just as he was getting anxious, he was awakened by the choking sound of old man Hiruzen Sarutobi's pipe.
Although I had a fight with my husband, the lingering happiness from my dream hasn't faded away yet.
"Just being excited won't help." Uchiha Mikoto poured cold water on Sarutobi Asuma's beaming smile, saying, "Focus on your training. Only with solid strength can you face any challenge without fear."
"Mmm-hmm," Sarutobi Asuma replied, "I understand, Mikoto-sensei."
"Let's keep practicing, I can't wait!"
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"
With a shout, clusters of flames shot out in all directions from the open space, leaving distorted afterimages in the air as the flames passed, and the temperature rose rapidly.
Moments later, the flames dissipated.
Obito Uchiha's eyes shone brightly as he slowly unfurled the hand seals he had formed.
"Obito, you're amazing!" A girl's cheer came from not far away. Uchiha Obito turned around, a smile spreading across his face.
"Lin".
"How was my training these past two days? Not bad, right?"
"Of course." Nohara Rin nodded and said, "Daishi, you seem to be working really hard lately. I've never seen you work this hard before."
That's because there wasn't a guy like Shenyue Xingyun who made him uneasy in his dormitory before!
While thinking to himself, Obito Uchiha said aloud, "Rin, it's because you're by my side that I have the motivation to train."
Nohara Rin: "Huh?"
