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

Sure enough, after she said that, Baiyun Qingye fell silent.

He didn't say anything more; all that could be heard was his sigh.

Will this guy be very sad?

Kurenai thought with some concern, wondering what expression the other person was wearing.

Thinking this, Kurenai raised her head slightly and observed the other person out of the corner of her eye, then met Shirokumo Aoba's smirking expression.

The veins on his forehead bulged out.

"You're getting more and more annoying!"

Kurenai reached out and grabbed Shirokumo Aoba's face, trying to completely tear off the smile from his face.

However, his wrist was easily seized by the other party, preventing him from advancing an inch.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Kurenai wanted to break free, but Shirokumo Aoba's serious gaze made her afraid to move.

"Sister Hong, you should know this, right?"

Bai Yunqingye said earnestly.

"Know...know what?"

Kurenai couldn't help but swallow hard; she sensed that what Shirokumo Aoba was about to say was definitely not simple.

She suddenly wanted to run away.

"It's about... me liking you!"

boom!

In an instant, as Shirokumo Aoba finished speaking, Yuhi Kurenai's brain seemed to explode.

She stared at the other person with her ruby-like eyes wide open, speechless.

The other party used to express their thoughts in a roundabout way.

She could also pretend to be stupid or use other methods to fool them.

But is this direct approach forcing her to make a choice?

but……

She's a believer in pure love!

I hate scumbags the most!

"Sister Hong, I like you. What's your answer?"

Baiyun Qingye looked directly into the other person's eyes.

"me……"

Kurenai stammered for a long time, but couldn't get a word out.

Although she is not young anymore, she can't just give up like Hongdou.

She longed for a love that belonged only to her. Asuma did indeed only like him, but she didn't like him in return.

The person she likes has already been with countless girls.

If you're with that person, calling yourself a mistress would be an understatement.

If you include those little ones like Yakumo, they'd probably all be ranked in the teens.

Seeing this, Baiyun Qingye also let go of her hand.

"Was I too sudden?"

"Um……"

Kurenai lowered her head. "Can I think about it for a while?"

"It's okay, Sister Hong, you can take as long as you want to think about it."

Baiyun Qingye was quite frank, and then temporarily changed the subject, saying, "Then let me talk about another important matter."

"Is there... anything else?"

Kurenai didn't want to talk anymore; she just wanted to be alone.

Baiyun Qingye nodded. "I will be leaving Sister Hong's team next year."

"Leave? Why?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Kurenai Yuhi suddenly raised her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"My teacher told me that he would pass the Hokage position to me after the New Year, and that I should receive a notice about the Jonin Conference soon."

Bai Yun Qingye's explanation was tinged with helplessness.

"Naruto?"

Kurenai muttered to herself, completely unprepared for this, "Why the rush..."

"There's nothing I can do about it, what can I do when I'm so outstanding?"

Baiyun Qingye said half-jokingly.

"But aren't you only a Chunin yet?"

Kurenai Yuhi discovered the vulnerability.

Shirokumo Aoba looked at her strangely, "Isn't becoming a Jonin just a matter of a word from the teacher?"

"Damn it, you got in through connections!"

Kurenai Yuhi said with considerable indignation that she had worked incredibly hard to pass the Special Jonin Exams and become a Jonin.

"Then do you think my strength is insufficient to become a Jonin and Hokage?"

The white clouds and green leaves displayed a playful expression.

Kurenai was speechless.

That's true, this guy was stronger than her even when he was still in the ninja academy.

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. I need to head back now."

Bai Yun Qingye stood up. "Sister Hong, next time we meet, don't try to run away as soon as you see me."

He added one last sentence and then prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Kurenai panicked and instinctively grabbed the other person's wrist.

"Wait a minute, don't go yet."

"Hmm? Is there anything else?"

Bai Yunqingye turned around and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Kurenai gritted her teeth and said in a trembling voice, "You're about to leave, can't you at least have one last drink with me?"

"Sister Hong, it's not like we'll never see each other again, even if I'm no longer in your team."

Bai Yun Qingye was both amused and exasperated. What kind of "last drink" was this? It was so unlucky. "If Sister Hong wants to drink, you can come to me anytime."

Kurenai pursed her lips, still not letting go of his hand. "Then consider it a celebration for you!"

She knew that this bastard wouldn't come looking for her unless she actively sought him out or bumped into him by chance.

Like today, if she hadn't bumped into him at the movie theater, he probably wouldn't have come to see her tonight.

What a despicable scumbag who plays with girls' feelings!

Bai Yunqingye hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, looked at the pot of wine, and suddenly asked.

"Sister Hong, how's your alcohol tolerance?"

"what?"

Baiyun Qingye pointed to the wine pot and asked.

"Then... Sister Hong, after you finish this pot of wine, will you get drunk?"

Kurenai Yuhi: "?"

Chapter 585 Who will be the Hokage's wife?

"Sister Hong, how's your alcohol tolerance?"

Bai Yunqingye suddenly asked.

"what?"

Kurenai Yuhi's expression clearly froze upon hearing this.

I don't understand why the other person suddenly asked this question. Logically speaking, the other person should know her alcohol tolerance very well.

After all these years, the two of them know each other very well about things as trivial as drinking capacity.

Despite her doubts, after a moment's hesitation, she gave an ambiguous answer.

"It should be... alright."

"Well... Sister Hong, after you finish this pot of wine... will you get drunk?"

Baiyun Qingye pointed to the pot of wine on the table and asked.

Kurenai's grip on the other person's wrist suddenly tightened.

Drunk...drunk?!

She stared blankly at the pot of wine. Did this guy want her to get drunk?

What will he do after she gets drunk?

Kurenai swallowed unconsciously, her heart pounding.

She...she hasn't agreed to confess yet!

Could this guy be trying to...?
