Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Chapter 355 The Immature Curse

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became quiet, and Hongdou couldn't help but frown.

She nudged Baiyun Qingye with her knee. "What are you going to say? Otherwise, it'll just get awkward."

It was so awkward that I was about to make an excuse to leave.

Baiyun Qingye was speechless. Although Xiyan had gone out to do a mission, Xiaonan and the others were still at home.

She's back but hasn't gone back to visit yet.

"Do you also work sporadically when it comes to commissioning clients?"

Do you think I'm that lazy?

Hongdou couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "I just like to do tasks that interest me. I don't take on tasks that are too boring or too difficult."

"So you don't have any missions to take on?"

"Why would I take on so many missions? As long as I have enough money to buy meatballs, that's fine."

Hongdou looked indifferent, but as she was thinking, another idea popped into her mind. Suddenly, she leaned close to Baiyun Qingye and asked.

"What do you think about me becoming a teacher at the ninja academy? Maybe it'll be more interesting than doing missions."

"?"

For some reason, the image of Mitarashi Sweet Potato appeared in Shirokumo Aoba's mind.

In Boruto, Anko seems to have become a teacher at the Ninja Academy and has a good relationship with Choji's daughter, Chocho Akimichi.

It seems you've had feelings for each other for quite some time now.

This is quite normal, after all, the golden age of an ordinary ninja is only a few years, and when they get older, they naturally have to consider their future.

Only a few people can maintain their peak performance for a very long time.

Just like Onoki and Chiyo, Hiruzen Sarutobi is another example.

Since the dead are respected, we will not lick his wounds.

Baiyun Qingye could only lament that people of the same kind have different fates.

They were both disciples of the Three Ninjas.

Minato Namikaze became the Fourth Hokage as Jiraiya's student, and as Tsunade's student, he is likely to become the next Hokage as well.

As Orochimaru's disciple, Anko is already considering retirement.

Of course, this isn't Red Bean's fault.

She should have had a bright future too.

Not long after, Orochimaru defected, wasting his talent and leaving behind a cursed seal that became an obstacle to his growth.

Being a Special Jonin was already her limit.

I wonder if red beans will ever turn into sweet potatoes again.

What kind of expression is that?

Hongdou sensed the offense from Baiyun Qingye's face.

"nothing."

Baiyun and Qingye turned their faces away.

Hongdou turned his face back to her, "Explain yourself clearly, is there a problem with me being a teacher?"

Baiyun Qingye's expression was somewhat awkward.

"I just think that if you want to be a teacher, you should eat fewer meatballs in the future."

"why?"

Hongdou didn't quite understand.

"If you become a teacher, you probably won't go out to do missions anymore. If you're not afraid of turning from a red bean into a sweet potato, then keep eating," Bai Yunqingye said meaningfully.

After hearing this, Hongdou's expression froze, and she reached out and viciously pinched Baiyun Qingye's face.

So you're saying I'm fat?

"No, I just suggested you eat fewer meatballs."

Baiyun Qingye quickly denied it.

But Hongdou didn't listen at all.

"Although I love eating meatballs, I'm not fat. Don't believe me? Feel my waist!"

As she spoke, she directly grabbed Bai Yunqingye's hand and placed it on her waist.

The originally loose nightgown has shrunk.

Bai Yunqingye's eyes widened slightly, her face filled with shock.

"She's definitely not fat."

I never imagined that red beans could bear such abundant fruit from such small branches.

Although she can't compare to Tsunade, she's still very powerful.

"Right! I told you, I could never get fat." Red Bean said smugly.

"But I was just giving you a suggestion. I've already given you the things, and I'm leaving now."

Shirokumo Aoba removed her hand from Hongdou's waist and stood up from the sofa.

"Are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Hongdou looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Bai Yunqingye explained, "I just got back today, and I haven't even gone home to visit yet."

"You can watch it anytime at your home, why don't you spend some more time with your sister?"

Hongdou winked at Baiyun Qingye and deliberately adjusted the shoulder strap of her nightgown.

However, after seeing her actions, Baiyun Qingye actually stopped and his gaze lingered on Hongdou's neck.

He remained silent for a long time.

"..."

Hongdou saw Baiyun Qingye staring at her intently.

She, who was usually bold, suddenly felt a little guilty.

She shrank back a little, and the bra strap that had been pulled up returned to its original position. She spoke in a serious tone.

"Ahem, you should go back first. Some things really can't be rushed."

"..."

Baiyun Qingye knew that Hongdou had misunderstood; he wasn't looking at the other person's neck, but at the curse mark on it.

"Will that thing make you feel uncomfortable?"

He pointed to the curse mark on the back of Hongdou's neck.

Hongdou was clearly stunned for a moment, and subconsciously covered the curse mark with her hand.

"Hmm~ It can hurt quite a bit sometimes, but after all these years, I'm used to it."

Hongdou answered without a care in the world; she was also the best at enduring.

Bai Yun Qingye was silent for a while, then said, "Pain is pain, and it's not a feeling that you can ignore just by getting used to it."

"What can be done? Even Lady Tsunade can't do anything about it."

Hongdou had a helpless expression on her face.

"Let me take a look."

"Huh?"

Hongdou was a little confused.

But Baiyun Qingye had already sat back down, put her hands on Hongdou's shoulders, and turned her body so that her back was to her.

Then he placed his hand on the seal and silently began to feel it.

The curse mark on Anko's body is an immature curse mark, which has almost no positive effect except for being able to sense Orochimaru's location by using pain.

Of course, if it's about constantly depleting Red Bean's energy so she doesn't turn into a sweet potato, then that should also be considered a positive effect.

Unlike Baiyun Qingye's thoughts, Hongdou felt something was off.

She always felt a burning sensation when a boy younger than her touched her neck, such an intimate spot.

After some time, Baiyun Qingye let go of her hand.

Have you thought of a solution?

"No."

Baiyun Qingye answered decisively.

Hongdou's face did not show any disappointment.

"However, I've sealed it for you for now, so it shouldn't take effect for a while."

Baiyun Qingye then spoke.

"is it?"

Red Bean was somewhat surprised. She looked in the mirror and indeed saw another ring of patterns around the outer edge of the curse mark.

"Qingye, you've done me a huge favor. How do you want your older sister to repay you?"

Hongdou's mood improved considerably.

"No need for now. Let me go back and look into it again to see if I can help you solve the problem completely."

Of course, Shirokumo Aoba wouldn't do the research himself.

Since it's Orochimaru's cursed seal, he might as well go directly to Orochimaru himself.

"..."

Hongdou fell silent for a moment.

"But I really have to go now."

Baiyun Qingye then spoke.

"why?"

"Sister Hong is going to treat us to barbecue later."

Upon hearing this, Hongdou's previous worries vanished, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"I also need to go!"
