In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 24 Asuma Sarutobi's head is green

This was already the umpteenth time Qianye had flirted with her.

At first, Kurenai didn't care much, thinking it was just a prank between kids, but as Chiya matured more...

He stood in front of her during mission after mission.

Quietly, the heart of this innocent girl, which had been sealed away for many years because of her father's death, began to show signs of melting.

Just as Kurenai was at a loss, a deep, resonant voice approached from afar, "Hi Kurenai."

Kurenai Yuhi was startled, as if she had been caught stealing fish. Her pretty face turned red instantly. She looked away from Chiya and followed the sound. She saw three young men wearing Konoha Jonin vests walking over.

The leader bore a resemblance to the Third Hokage, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, puffing out smoke.

Two young men followed behind him.

One of them was wearing a green bodysuit underneath, with a headband tied around his waist, a watermelon-shaped hairstyle, and extremely thick eyebrows. He kept shouting youthful slogans. At first glance, he seemed like the type who was muscular but simple-minded.

The other person was slightly more normal compared to the previous two; in terms of appearance alone, he was a rare handsome man.

But he just looks a bit slacker, with his ninja headband embedded in his turban and wrapped around his head backwards, and he has a senbon stick in his mouth the whole time, looking all cocky.

They were Konoha ninjas of the same generation as Kurenai Yuhi and Kakashi: Asuma Sarutobi, Might Guy, and Genma Shiranui.

"Looks like your friends have arrived. Well then, see you tonight." Chiya glanced at the three of them and quickly guessed their identities. She bowed to Asahiko without lingering and used the Body Flicker Technique to disappear from Asahiko's sight.

At that moment, Sarutobi Asuma and his two companions arrived.

"Red, was that person also a Jonin of Konoha? I've never seen him before." Sarutobi Asuma glanced at the spot where Chiya had disappeared with an unfriendly expression, his brows furrowing slightly as he asked, feigning nonchalance.

Kurenai Yuhi gave an "Oh," and answered somewhat absentmindedly, "He is the student I told you about, Fujiwara Chiya. He just took the exam and has now been promoted to Jonin by the Hokage."

Upon learning that the other party was Kurenai Yuhi's student, Asuma Sarutobi's brows relaxed slightly, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing that he had been overthinking things.

How could Hong have a boyfriend so soon? She's still so young!

"Jonin." Genma Shiranui was stunned, his eyes widening instantly, his face filled with disbelief: "Hey, really? He's not even twelve years old yet. Are kids these days all that scary? Kakashi was twelve when he became a Jonin, wasn't he?"

Keep in mind that even he himself was only a special Jonin.

Kurenai Yuhi was also promoted to Special Jonin a year ago.

The fact that they trained a Jonin in less than a year is unbelievable.

Meanwhile, Might Guy, who suffers from prosopagnosia, looked completely bewildered and asked blankly, "Who is Toumaru Chiyo...?"

"That's the truth, whether you believe it or not." Kurenai Yuhi ignored the stubborn Might Guy and sighed, "In short, Chiyo's strength has indeed surpassed mine."

"Doesn't that mean he was promoted to Jonin earlier than you, his teacher?" Genma Shiranui said with a playful smile.

"I'm sorry, Genma, but the Hokage recently promoted me to Jonin. So, among our generation, only you, Ebisu, Namiashi Raido, and Deivashi are left at the Special Jonin level," Kurenai Yuhi said with a hint of pride.

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Genma Shiranui froze on the spot.

"Red, is your disciple really that amazing?" Sarutobi Asuma tried to find a topic to talk about with Red.

"His opponent in this assessment is Kakashi. Whether he's strong or not, you'll find out by asking Kakashi later," Kurenai Yuhi said. "Speaking of which, why are you all suddenly so free today? Is there something you need?"

"The three of us just got back from a mission, and Asuma would like to invite you to a party tonight," Might Guy casually revealed the purpose of their trip.

"Feed Kai." Sarutobi Asuma blushed, glared at Might Guy, and then cast an expectant look at Yuhi Kurenai.

"I see," Kurenai Yuhi said, realizing something. She didn't think much of it, her mind filled with the scene of Chiya teasing her not long ago. She took a deep breath and replied, "I'm sorry, I already have plans. I've arranged to meet some students tonight to celebrate Chiya's promotion to Jonin. Maybe next time."

After saying that, Kurenai turned her back to the three of them, made a waving goodbye gesture, and slowly disappeared at the end of the street.

All that remained were a blank-faced Might Guy, a dejected Sarutobi Asuma after being rejected by Kurenai Yuhi, and Genma Shiranui, who was petrified by Kurenai Yuhi's words.

Messages are often transmitted very quickly.

With Konoha's encouragement, the news that Chiya had been promoted to Jonin without prior appointment quickly spread throughout the village and became well-known to the villagers.

Furthermore, in order to promote Chiya and gain the attention of the Uchiha leadership more quickly, the Konoha leadership created the title of "Illusion God Chiya" based on his expertise in genjutsu, calling him a genjutsu ninja who could rival Uchiha Shisui.

It can be said that they have begun to spare no effort in creating momentum for Qianye.

Of course, Chiya was unaware of all this.

Even if she knew, Qianye wouldn't care.

Based on his understanding of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he figured he was simply using his relationship with Izumi Uchiha to monitor the Uchiha clan and act as a spy.

The reason that old bastard Danzo is so strongly supporting his promotion to Jonin is, without a doubt, a case of flattery to his detriment.

This is a person who has never known what trust is, yet is willing to sacrifice everything to protect Konoha according to his own principles.

He always talks about how ninjas need to sacrifice themselves, but when it comes to himself, he can't do it.

He thinks about how to become Hokage every day.

To put it bluntly, it's a fear of death and a strong desire for fame and fortune.

From the moment Chiya formed a bond with Uchiha Izumi, Danzo had already branded himself with a label of distrust.

When the Uchiha clan is massacred and Senya loses her usefulness, that will be the time for reckoning.

He will eliminate everyone connected to the Uchiha clan.

This was true for Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha in the original work, and it was also true for Senya.

If Itachi Uchiha hadn't killed the two Root ninjas responsible for attacking him and threatened to leak Konoha's information to the enemy country, Sasuke would probably be dead long ago, or perhaps trained to be Root's killing machine.

Where did those famous scenes of showing off come from, like comparing genjutsu with Itachi, playing with swords with the Eight-Tails, comparing lightning release with the Raikage, and comparing eyes with Madara Uchiha?

Although I always end up getting beaten up.
