Konoha: I'm an Uchiha, and I started by proposing to Rin Nohara.

Chapter 81 Rin Nohara's Friends and Kurenai Yuhi's Friends

early morning.

Outside the Uchiha clan's territory, in the Konoha residential area.

"call......"

"call......"

The girl leaned against the wall, looking up at the sky, her rapid breathing tinged with a hint of bitterness.

She had just finished her morning exercise.

Bathed in the first rays of the rising sun, her delicate, fair face flushed slightly, making her look brighter than usual, but her deep red eyes remained as bright as ever.

Even though she has team training every day now, she hasn't fallen behind in her original training. She spends most of her free time practicing illusion techniques and physical skills.

However, it is very important to balance work and rest. When she is too tired, she will end her training early, lie in bed and read some novels that do not require attention to logic to relax her tired body and mind. This is one of her few hobbies.

—Even if it doesn't quite fit her personality.

This is why she felt so connected to Uchiha Ike's experiences; in her eyes, he was practically the protagonist of those bestselling novels.

Of course, these are things that only people do when they are very, very tired. Most of the time, she is still training seriously.

Her teammates are all very talented, and she is naturally unwilling to fall behind.

If she could, Kurenai Yuhi would also like to catch up with them... catch up with that figure and become a qualified partner.

Sitting in a corner of the alley, with her back against the wall, Xi Rihong rested while looking up at the sky.

The sky was very blue today, probably a good day, but she was a little distracted as she looked at the drifting clouds.

She saw a blurry profile on the cloud.

It seemed to be a boy with messy hair but incredibly clear eyes.

"red?"

A gentle call reached her ears, and Kurenai's eyes instantly cleared.

She moved away from the wall, pushed herself up from the ground, and tilted her head to look in the direction the sound came from.

With her long, smooth brown hair flowing gently and her cheeks adorned with vibrant purple patterns, Nohara Rin was looking this way from the entrance of the alley.

"Lin?"

Kurenai Yuhi paused slightly, then stepped toward Rin Nohara.

They seem to run into each other quite often lately.

Every time they bumped into each other, they would chat for a while, and their relationship had improved considerably since their time at the Ninja Academy.

After all, when they were in the Ninja Academy, one was bothered by Asuma every day, and the other was followed by Obito every day. They didn't have much time to sit down and have a proper chat.

"Is Hong doing her morning exercise again?"

"Nohara Rin asked softly. She was carrying a cloth bag in her left hand and gently tucking back her brown hair that had been blown by the wind with her right hand. She had a serene smile on her face and looked like a gentle painting."

"Yes." Seeing Nohara Rin's comforting expression, Yuhi Kurenai's voice softened, a faint smile on her face: "A ninja's training is something that can't be skipped every day, you know."

Nohara Rin nodded repeatedly, agreeing wholeheartedly: "I've also been diligently training, but..."

A hint of distress appeared on her oval face. "My physical skills are never quite satisfactory..."

Their seventh class was tricked by their instructor, Minato Namikaze, for a full three hours while they were trying to grab the bell.

Although they eventually managed to snatch the bell through teamwork, they also suffered from their slow physical combat speed.

"Physical skills aren't an essential skill, so it's okay if you're not good at them."

Kurenai smiled and comforted her, "I remember Rin, you used to really like medical ninjutsu, right? Would you be interested in becoming a medical ninja? I think you have a lot of talent for it."

"A medical ninja..." Nohara Rin's eyes brightened slightly. "Kurenai, do you think so too?"

"Yes," Kurenai nodded affirmatively, "With your kind and thoughtful nature, you could definitely become a good medical ninja..."

At this point, Kurenai Yuhi paused for a moment.

Did she say "also"?

Kurenai Yuhi's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Rin Nohara with curiosity. "It seems there are others who say the same thing?"

"Yeah!" Nohara Rin nodded happily. "That's what my friend said too. He said I have the potential to become a medical ninja, hehe, hehe..."

As she spoke, Nohara Rin lowered her head somewhat shyly, giggling as she fiddled with her hair.

Is it "that friend" again?

Kurenai chuckled inwardly; she had recently heard Rin Nohara mention "that friend" quite often.

He seems really busy lately, I bumped into him today and said hello, I made him some snacks...

Kurenai guessed that Rin harbored feelings for "that friend" of hers.

I don't know what kind of person Lin likes.

It's highly unlikely that he's the same type as Obito.

"By the way, what are you carrying?" She asked curiously, her sharp eyes glancing at the cloth bag Nohara Rin was carrying.

"Oh, this."

Following Kurenai's gaze, Nohara Rin looked at the cloth bag in her hand, untied the knot, and laid out its contents.

It was a scroll and a book.

Seeing the words on the spine of the book, Kurenai Yuhi read them aloud softly: "Practical Handbook of Surgery..."

"Mmm." Nohara Rin nodded, holding the book in her hands and covering her chest. "This is the book he asked me to study in advance, saying it will help with learning medical ninjutsu later."

It's him again!

Kurenai Yuhi's face was full of smiles, and she winked playfully at Rin Nohara;

"You keep bringing him up, I wonder when he'll finally let me see what he's made of?"

Nohara Rin's eyes widened instantly, and her ears quickly turned red.

"this......"

She stammered, "I... I don't think it's appropriate. We're just ordinary friends."

Seeing the stammering Nohara Rin, Kurenai Yuhi's smile deepened:

"Then at least describe to me what kind of person he is, so I know where Obito lost."

Rin Nohara's face darkened slightly, and she muttered under her breath, "Don't mention Obito at a time like this, it'll ruin your mood."

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Kurenai apologized, both amused and exasperated.

"What kind of person is he...?"

Nohara Rin tilted her head and began to recall.

As if she had thought of something, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up: "Probably because she is humble, gentle and kind, and also very patient."

"It sounds perfect for you..." Kurenai Yuhi said with a hint of envy.

Even ninjas yearn for genuine affection.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that ninjas often care more about these bonds than ordinary people.

"Don't say that, we're just ordinary friends." Nohara Rin felt her face burning and quickly changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Kurenai, you seem to be training particularly hard lately."

Not only did she go to training camp early in the morning and return late at night, but every time she met Yuhi Kurenai, she was doing extra training for herself.

"Because my teammates are all very good, and I want to keep up with them, and..." Kurenai hesitated for a moment, then muttered, "I've also made a friend."

"oh!?"
