Chapter 163 The Name of the Divine Moon Nebula
"This period of time has felt like a dream."
"I've wanted to go home for a long time."
"I haven't had the village's barbecue in ages."
Kurenai, sitting to the side, corrected him, "Asuma, we're just going back to the village to await new arrangements. The war isn't over yet."
"Red, don't correct me at a time like this," Sarutobi Asuma said helplessly. "Can't you just let me relax for a bit?"
Kurenai Yuhi: "There hasn't been any fighting for the past few months, so it's been pretty easy, hasn't it?"
Sarutobi Asuma: "Where did you find it easy?"
"I'm not having an easy time at all, okay? Every day, apart from eating and sleeping, I'm practicing my swordsmanship."
"————That's true." Kurenai Yuhi suddenly remembered and turned her head away with an unnatural expression.
"Asuma, although you're tired, your swordsmanship is improving very quickly."
"I can see how much your swordsmanship has improved. Keep it up, you'll definitely get better and better."
Sarutobi Asuma's lips curled into a smug smile, but the smile quickly faded.
He turned his head slightly and looked at the Shingetsu Nebula not far away, saying, "It's a pity, I just don't know when I'll be able to become a Jonin."
"Nebula, you did a really good job."
"By the time we return to the village, you should be a Jonin."
Shenyue Xingyun said, "It's nothing."
"With your talent, you'll eventually become a Jonin."
"How can that be the same!" Sarutobi Asuma pouted.
"Without major battles, becoming a Jonin is not an easy thing."
"You're famous now, but I wonder how many people will care when I become a Jonin."
As he spoke, he shook his head with a sigh.
"The Leaf Village Demon Star".
"Tsk tsk—it hasn't been that long, and they already have their own names."
Shen Yue Xingyun's face darkened.
"I have never acknowledged this title."
Sarutobi Asuma said, "The name was given to you by others, and it has nothing to do with whether you acknowledge it or not."
"A mischievous female ninja gave you the nickname 'Konoha God Moon,' but unfortunately, it's too soft. Now, the ninjas in the camp and the ninjas of Sunagakure all call you 'Konoha Demon Star.'"
Shenyue Xingyun was speechless.
The Leaf Demon Star doesn't sound like a righteous character at all, and it doesn't match his temperament at all.
What's so strange about it? How is it strange? Whether it's with Yoko or Chiyo, their fighting methods are always fair and square. Why can't they come up with a nicer nickname?
These people in the ninja world are so petty!
Kurenai Yuhi said, "Actually, it's not bad."
"A rising star in Konoha, 'demon' is just a compliment on your appearance."
"Besides, what kind of names are given to ninjas from other villages? Yellow Flash, White Fang of Konoha, aren't they all pretty much the same?"
Before Shingetsu Seiun could say anything, Sarutobi Asuma already showed a jealous expression.
"Alright, Hong."
"You've made me even more envious. Nebula must be secretly thrilled."
The ninjas who were able to earn a name from the enemy during the Ninja Village War were all exceptionally talented and powerful.
Further back, there's Konoha's White Fang, Scorch Release: Leaf Village, and the Two Scales: Onoki. Closer still, there's the Yellow Flash of the Cloud Village front, the rising star of the Uchiha clan, Shisui of the Body Flicker Technique, and now, even Shingetsu Nebula has one!
The feeling was like his bunkmate, with whom he usually played games, suddenly becoming incredibly successful, which made him very anxious.
With a sigh in his heart, Sarutobi Asuma lay back down, envying Shingetsu Seiun for a while before beginning to dream about the future.
What kind of title will I have in the future?
Sarutobi Sōga?
Ash Slayer?
No, no! How could such a title be worthy of me!
The Leaf Village Blade God might be good—wait! I shouldn't have that title all by myself.
At that time, I should have been living happily with Kurenai Yuhi, having three or four smart and lovely children, and the two of us should have been famous in the ninja world, becoming an enviable couple.
The title is: Konoha's Twin Heroes?
The Red Duo?
Flying Red Twin Ninjas?
After thinking for a long time, Sarutobi Asuma still couldn't come up with a satisfactory name. However, when he thought about the wonderful scene of him and Kurenai Yuhi singing together and dominating the ninja world, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Just as he was lost in thought, Kurenai tugged at his sleeve.
Asuma, still lost in her beautiful fantasy, couldn't help but speak softly.
"What's wrong, Hong?"
Kurenai Yuhi said, "Asuma, you should practice your swordsmanship."
Sarutobi Asuma was taken aback, then stood up and looked around: "But we're on the move!"
"What's wrong with being on the road?" Kurenai Yuhi said. "Nebula and Might Guy often train when they're traveling."
"How can you slack off if you want to become a renowned ninja!"
"Cheer up! I'll practice hand seals for a while, you go practice your sword skills in the front."
"Oh, oh, oh." Sarutobi Asuma was persuaded by Yuhi Kurenai: "Kurenai, you do the hand seals first, I'll go practice my sword."
"One day, we will be famous throughout the ninja world!"
Kurenai Yuhi: "Yes, yes, go quickly."
After Asuma left, Kurenai Yuhi indeed began performing hand seals. However, she couldn't practice for long because her posture was incorrect.
My hand is cramping—
Time slipped away quietly as Kurenai Yuhi kept urging Asuma Sarutobi to practice his swordsmanship.
At one point, when Sarutobi Asuma returned exhausted once again, Shingetsu Seiun's expression suddenly changed.
A panel notification suddenly popped up in front of me.
[Special event detected; AI transmission has identified it!]
[Current Event Identified: Sand Village's Betrayal. In the southern part of the Land of Wind, Pakura is being besieged by Kirigakure ninja. Current Status: Minor Injuries, Poisoned.]
[Temporary teleportation can be initiated, with a maximum duration of six hours. Teleport now?]
"Red, Asuma, you stay here. I'll go patrol the outer perimeter first."
Without waiting for their response, he got up and left.
Although he was surprised that there was nothing to patrol at this time, Sarutobi Asuma didn't think much of it since Shinzuki Seiun was in charge of the team. Instead, he was happy to be alone with Yuhi Kurenai.
"Red, I feel my swordsmanship has improved recently."
"Shall I show you?"
"No, thank you," Kurenai Yuhi declined. "I'm a little tired, I'll rest for a while."
Sarutobi Asuma looked puzzled.
You just came back from sword practice and you didn't even say you were tired, so why are you tired?
Could it be that they're practicing illusion magic?
"Okay, you should get some rest and not overwork yourself."
"Your health is the most important thing."
The two rested quietly, while on the other side, Shenyue Xingyun patrolled the perimeter of the team. After running a little further away, she activated the system panel.
Initiate teleportation.
In the southern part of the Land of Wind, in a mountain valley not far from the coastline, Yekura was breathing heavily. Exhaustion overwhelmed her mind, making her want to lie down immediately. The flow of chakra within her body was becoming increasingly sluggish and difficult.
She forced herself to stand upright, facing the dozen or so Hidden Mist ninjas in front of her.
"Stop forcing yourself." A Hidden Mist ninja sneered.
"You probably can't use your chakra anymore, right?"
"What's the point of forcing myself to keep going? I'm going to die anyway."
"Right? Scorching—Escape—Leaf—Kura!"
