Chapter 38 Let the rumors fly
After talking to Shiro, Naruto remembered that he seemed to have to gather for a mission today, so Naruto quickly packed up and rushed to the meeting point.
The time is now twelve o'clock noon.
It's just a mere two hours late, so Sasuke and Sakura won't mind.
Naruto guessed half right, Sasuke did not mind his lateness, because Kakashi had already taken Sasuke away for special training.
Sakura, who was told by Kakashi to stay there and wait to inform Naruto, doubled her resentment towards Naruto.
"Naruto, you are getting more and more annoying. Last time in the Land of Waves, you hugged a strange woman. Yesterday, you confessed to Teacher Kurenai. Today, you kept me waiting for so long."
"If you continue to bully me like this, I will be mad at you sooner or later!"
Sakura kept complaining, but Naruto didn't argue with her because she had done so many tasks for him.
After she lost her temper, Naruto asked: "Kakashi took Sasuke away, have you made any arrangements for you and me?"
If possible, Naruto wanted to be able to move freely.
"It's all arranged."
Sakura stared at Naruto's face, pouted and nodded: "Kakashi-sensei hired a teacher for me at Konoha Hospital and asked me to study with him starting tomorrow."
"What about me?" Naruto was a little confused, who would Kakashi find to take him, let alone Asuma.
This time, Sakura suddenly smiled sadly: "Kakashi-sensei said that he couldn't think of anyone in the village who was suitable to teach you. He asked you to practice on your own and complete all the tasks for us."
"????"
Why?
Take the two pillars for special training, let Sakura go to Konoha Hospital to study, and leave the task to Naruto to complete alone.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. I can't complete any of the tasks. Let Kakashi do it by himself."
"Hey, Naruto, if you don't do the task, you will be punished by Kakashi-sensei." Sakura looked a little stunned.
Naruto became even more upset when he heard this and said disdainfully: "Then let him train me. I will go directly to the Hokage Building to report him for treating students differently."
After saying that, Naruto turned around and whistled to leave.
Sakura held onto Naruto's wrist: "Where are you going?"
"Go home and sleep."
"Don't leave yet. Just listen to what I'm telling you. I only have half a day to study at Konoha Hospital tomorrow, and I can spend the other half day with you doing tasks."
Sakura spoke hurriedly, thinking that Naruto would ask her for help, and then she could take the opportunity to make terms.
For example, they went to dinner together, or went on a date, but Naruto didn't follow the routine at all and directly said that he would not do the task, which made it difficult for Sakura to deal with it.
At this time, Naruto tilted his head and looked at Sakura, looking a little speechless: "Idiot Sakura."
"What are you scolding me for again?"
"Are you stupid?"
"Ah?" Sakura raised her clear eyes: "What's wrong with me?"
Naruto sighed deeply: "It's okay. If you want to do the task, you can do it. I won't do it anyway, bye!"
"Tell me clearly, why am I such a fool?" Sakura asked.
Naruto waved his hand: "I can't tell, that's all."
The next moment, Naruto disappeared from Sakura's sight.
"This guy is really fast." Sakura stamped her feet angrily. After waiting for Naruto for so long, Naruto ran away so fast.
"Wait a minute, Naruto just called me idiot, could that be the kind of nickname between lovers?"
"Wow, he's so bad."
"."
Time passed quickly, and another month passed in the blink of an eye. This month was uneventful.
Asuma, who is most likely to cause trouble, was imprisoned by the third generation. It is said that he will be released after a period of time to allow him to reflect more.
Asuma's Class 10 Inarakacho, as a child of a big family, would not be short of a teacher. The head of the Akimichi family personally took three of them out of the village to find the bandits' den.
The members of Team 8 were also taken by Yuhi Kurenai to perform escort missions after Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino were discharged from the hospital.
Among this group of nine, only Naruto has the most leisure time. There is basically nothing else to do every day except eating, sleeping, training, contacting Shiro and Sakura coming to harass him.
Naruto couldn't tell whether Sakura was stupid or something, but she really took over all the tasks if Naruto didn't do them.
There were a few times when Naruto saw that she was too tired and couldn't bear to help her. From then on, she often came to the small apartment where Naruto lived and knocked on the door to ask Naruto to come with him, using the excuse of inviting missions. She was happy to ignore her.
Such leisurely and boring days lasted until mid-August.
Kakashi, who had disappeared with Sasuke for a month and a half, entrusted a green watermelon-rind ninja to inform Naruto and Sakura of something.
"This year's Chunin Exams are about to begin, so please take the time to practice."
At the same time, a piece of breaking news about Konoha ninjas began to spread around the world from the neighboring country of Fire Country, Yuno Country.
In the dense forest in the northwest of the Country of Fire, a resident of a small village lives in his home.
Shikamaru panted and quickly ran into the guest room, shouting with a worried look on his face.
"No, something happened to Asuma-sensei!"
"Isn't Asuma-sensei imprisoned in the village?" Ino said as she tried a new hairstyle in the mirror while fiddling with her hair.
"Ah, I'm hungry again. There's a serious shortage of food." Akimichi Choci touched his stomach with a melancholy look on his face.
"Oh, look, Mr. Asuma has been published on the news." Shikamaru slapped a newspaper on the table and shouted, "This is a huge event."
"What a big event, it actually makes Shikamaru nervous."
Ino stopped and walked to the table to read the newspaper, followed shortly by Choji, and then both of them opened their mouths in panic almost at the same time.
"Hey!!! Is this true? Asuma-sensei was imprisoned because of Sasuke."
"."
Team 8 escorted the merchant to the Land of Tea and is now on its way back to Konoha.
"Everyone, come and see, this thing is too exciting."
Inuzuka Kiba held the dog in his arms and the newspaper in his hand, and said enthusiastically: "Hahaha, I didn't expect that Uchiha Sasuke, who was so vicious when he beat us, would have such a thing happen. I must laugh at him when he goes back. Ichiban.”
"I advise you not to do it." Shino pushed up his sunglasses and said expressionlessly: "Next time you get spanked because of your tongue, I won't help you."
"Don't be afraid, Shino, next time, next time we will definitely win." Ya said confidently.
Shino: "."
Hinata and Yuhi Kurenai were sitting two boys away from each other. When hearing their conversation, Yuhi Kurenai, as the instructing Jonin, naturally had to pay attention.
"What are you two talking about?" Yuhi Hong asked.
"By the way, teacher, don't you have a good relationship with Asuma Jounin? Do you know any other exciting inside stories about this matter?"
Ya ran over excitedly and handed the newspaper to Yuhi Kurenai.
"False!" Yuhi Hong glanced at it and said calmly: "It may be slanderous information produced by a hostile country. Don't believe it."
"Ah, that's it." Ya sighed, feeling that it was a pity if it was just a rumor.
Kurenai Yuhi said nothing. The content in the newspaper could only be said to be half-truth and half-false. As the witness and Asuma's childhood sweetheart, the real situation would naturally be informed to her three generations later.
But even now that she knew it was a doll, Yuhi Hong still felt deeply in her heart.
Now it was impossible for her to think about being with Asma anymore.
The thought of Asuma saying "I love you" to a boy doll in front of her made Yuhi Kurenai feel sick.
"I don't know how Naruto is doing now, why I suddenly miss that little guy."
"."
In the Kingdom of Rain, a strange man with a blue fish face walked into a room and smiled at the man sitting in a daze.
"Mr. Itachi, there is a newspaper about your brother here, would you like to read it?"
