Then he darted away and hid behind a corner of the wall.

Eh?

Kurenai was still confused and hadn't figured out what was going on when a familiar voice came from behind her.

"red."

Asuma, carrying a large travel backpack, walked over from a short distance away and stopped three meters away from Kurenai.

"I'm leaving. After thinking about it, I'd like to say goodbye to you one last time."

He put on a nonchalant and relaxed look, one hand on the backpack strap and the other in his pocket, looking very carefree.

Why do you insist on leaving the village? Don't you want to see me that much?

Kurenai looked aggrieved and gritted her teeth.

"Don't get me wrong, it's not because of you. Actually... I had another fight with my old man at home. He keeps talking about the Will of Fire, but to me it's utter nonsense. I can't agree with the Third Hokage's philosophy, so I decided to leave home and leave this village, and from now on act according to my own likes and dislikes, instead of the so-called Will of Fire."

Asuma shook his head and slowly explained to Kurenai.

Kurenai listened attentively to Asuma's words, but she didn't completely believe his explanation and continued to press him for answers:

"But you clearly argued with me about the recording pen that day. Do you still think that something unspeakable happened between me and Kisame Hoshigaki?"

"I...apologize to you. I was wrong that day."

Asuma's momentum immediately weakened, and a look of guilt appeared on his face.

After he apologized, he paused for a moment, then continued speaking to Hong:

"I must admit that it was only after losing to Kisame Hoshigaki this time that I realized there are always people better than me."

I used to choose to become a delinquent because I thought it was cool. But Kisame Hoshigaki can't be described as a delinquent at all. Even real mafia members would probably be mere playthings in his presence.

I realized that I was too inexperienced and needed to go out and gain experience.

I don't know when I'll be back, so... you don't need to wait for me.

After saying all that in one breath, Asuma gave Red a deep look, then turned and left.

Kurenai Yuhi stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

corner.

Kisame witnessed the entire scene, which resembled a melodramatic romance novel, and his brows furrowed slightly at this moment.

This couple, will they really be separated like this? That wouldn't be good.

Sigh, what can I do when Kisame Hoshigaki has such a kind heart?

Kisame thought to himself, then extended his sewing needle index finger, and with a whoosh, a chakra thread shot out from his fingertip, heading straight for Kurenai Yuhi.

He planned to help the girl and also try out a new way to use chakra threads.

Shhhhhh.

The chakra threads that Kisame shot out split into several pieces midway and wrapped around Kurenai Yuhi's legs, hands, and torso.

Kisame moved his fingers, and Kurenai spun around in place, gesturing wildly.

Like a marionette.

what happened?

Kurenai Yuhi looked panicked and turned around to see that it was Kisame who had done it. The latter even nodded at her, signaling with his eyes that she shouldn't panic.

next second.

"what!"

Kurenai let out a cry of surprise and ran forward uncontrollably, quickly catching up with Asuma and hugging him from behind.

This is all the help Kisame can give her.

“Red…” Asuma was startled.

"do not go……"

With red eyes, she spoke softly, tears streaming down her face.

Faced with her lover's desperate pleas.

"I'm sorry, I have to go."

Asuma clenched his fists, made a tough decision, broke free from Kurenai's embrace, and walked forward without looking back.

Kurenai's hands hung in mid-air, and she stood there blankly, completely lost.

Sigh, there's no saving a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) kid.

Kisame watched Asuma's departing figure, shook his head, and walked out from the corner.

"Sorry, I couldn't help you."

He withdrew the chakra threads binding Kurenai and prepared to turn and leave.

Just then.

Kurenai suddenly burst into tears, her emotions completely erupting. She threw herself into Kisame's arms and wailed loudly.

Soon, her tears soaked a large area of ​​Kisame's clothes.

Kisame didn't say anything, just stood there silently. Because he knew that what this heartbroken girl needed most, and only needed, was a shoulder to lean on.

a long time.

Her red tears gradually dried up, and her loud sobs turned into soft sobs.

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Realizing her lapse in decorum, she raised her head and timidly apologized to Kisame.

"It's okay. After you've finished crying, just look forward."

Kisame said this, handing her a handkerchief. At the same time, he silently said to Kurenai, "At least you won't be a widow anymore."

"Thank you."

Kurenai took Kisame's handkerchief, looked up at the tall man with sharp facial features, and suddenly felt a strange flutter in her heart.

She was the obedient daughter of her family and the top female student at the ninja academy. She led a boring, rule-abiding life, so she was easily attracted to rebellious delinquents like Asuma.

But she suddenly realized that Kisame's rebellious spirit was even stronger, and it could even be described as a kind of unrestrained primal wildness.

His personal charm comes not from his looks, but from his temperament.

A man may not be handsome, but he cannot lack style.

Is there something on my face?

Kisame's voice interrupted Kurenai Yuhi's reverie.

"No, no..." She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Kisame again, and returned the handkerchief with a blush on her face.

"Keep it."

Kisame smiled, then turned and left without lingering.

Watching his tall figure walk away into the distance.

"Will you... come back to Konoha in the future?"

Kurenai mustered her courage and shouted it out.

Kisame paused, turned half his face to the side, and said to the girl meaningfully:

"The next time we meet, it might be on the battlefield."

Kurenai shuddered, staring blankly at Kisame as he disappeared into the vast crowd.

59. More, I want more (Please continue reading)

The moonlight, like water, bathed the earth.

Konoha Village under the cover of night is just as it always is. It is brightly lit and bustling with activity.

Tomorrow morning, the Hidden Mist Clan will set off to return to the Land of Water.

Since returning to the hotel last night, Tongcaono Eren's face has been very pale.

His beloved blunt sword, Kabuto, was destroyed by Tsunade with just one punch and one kick, leaving only a piece of rope, but he didn't dare to ask Tsunade and Konoha for an explanation.

Because it was just too embarrassing.

In the world of ninjas, strength ultimately prevails.

If this matter were to spread, Kusano would likely never be able to hold his head high again after returning to Kirigakure. He would not only bear the shame, but might even be expelled from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, losing his honorable title.

Therefore, Kusano could only swallow this bitter pill and even instructed Kisame not to tell anyone what he had seen last night.

Also.

When Kusano saw Kisame send Tsunade flying with a headbutt, he was extremely shocked and immediately changed his attitude. He no longer treated Kisame as a lackey or underling to be bossed around, but continued to win him over with an attitude of equality.

Unfortunately, Kisame didn't appreciate it.

His attitude toward Tokusano cooled considerably after just one night.

The day before, Kisame was always following closely behind Kusano, calling him "Big Brother, Big Brother" as if they were half-brothers who had been separated for many years. Now, however, he couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to him.

Since Kisame already had the blunt sword Kabuto, Kusano was no longer of any value to him.

As adults, we're all just using each other; there's no point in talking about genuine feelings.

Kusano, noticing the change in Kisame's attitude, was both surprised and angry.

That feeling is like being pursued and won over by a jerk, only to be discarded after he gets tired of you.

Late at night.

The lights in Konoha Village gradually went out, and most of the villagers fell into a deep sleep and drifted off to sleep.
