Living in Naruto

Konoha, Naruto Office.

The Sandaime held a pipe in his mouth and stood at the window, looking at the night view of Konoha.

Every time he looked at the bustling night scene, the Sandaime would feel that all the efforts he had made were worth it. The village was thriving and full of life.

dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the door, and the Sandaime stopped his thoughts and returned to his seat.

"Come in."

"excuse me!"

The special Jonin who came in was Kurenai Yuhi. The Sandaime came to summon her so late. Kurenai Yuhi was quite surprised. Could it be that she wanted to discuss her marriage to Asuma?

Thinking of this, Yuhi Hong blushed slightly.

"Sandaime-sama, why did you summon me so late?"

"I'm old……"

The Sandaime seemed to be very emotional. Of course, after saying this, Yuhi Kurenai became even more fanciful. Is it really related to the marriage...

"Having been Hokage for so many years, it's time to take a break..."

"?"

Kurenai is very confused now, why did the Sandaime suddenly say this?

"Haha, people tend to nag when they get older. Don't be offended. I'm here to talk to you about Jing's affairs."

"Is there any news, Tsunade-sama?"

Yuhi Kurenai is not stupid, she probably knew something as soon as the Sandaime said it.

"Well, Tsunade is in the Land of Fire now. I came to you today to arrange a mission for your team."

"Do you want us to contact Tsunade-sama?"

"That's right. After all, you both have a common disciple in Kyoto. It's appropriate for you to contact me."

"That's it..." Hong relaxed slightly. It was not a personal matter, which made her less nervous. She was extremely nervous just now.

"I accept this mission! Sandaime-sama!"

"That's great." The Sandaime smiled happily and looked at Kurenai with a kind look, "Now that the business is done, let's talk about personal matters."

"Private...private matters..."

When she said this, Hong blushed again. After all, she was facing her boyfriend's father and future father-in-law.

"Asma, that kid, always loses track of priorities. It's been so long and you haven't gotten married yet. I'm very anxious..."

"Get... get married..."

Kurenai was feeling dizzy now. The Sandaime suddenly mentioned this, leaving Kurenai at a loss.

"Why, don't you want to marry that boy from our family?"

"willing!"

Hong blurted out, but immediately felt a little less reserved and blushed even more.

"Hahaha..." The Sandaime looked very happy, "Then let me decide the matter. Asuma's actions are too slow, and he doesn't have the same demeanor as I did back then."

"One...it's all up to you..."

Hong's head was on fire. She was confused by various emotions such as shyness and happiness, and she didn't know how to speak.

"Then let me, an old man, make the decision for you. The wedding date will be after the Chunin Exam. What do you think?"

"But...you can..."

……

Kurenai didn't know how she left the Hokage's office building. She felt dizzy along the way. She had been dating Asuma for so long, but he always didn't understand her feelings. She never dared to mention the marriage. She was already 27 Years old……

Patting her cheeks with both hands, Hong calmed down and said, "Let's go talk to Hong Dou. I might not be able to sleep tonight..."

……

The next day, Team 8 gathered at the 7th training ground.

"I received a mission from the Sandaime last night. We are going to Tanshu Street to find Tsunade-sama!"

"Tanshu Street?" Aburame Shino adjusted her glasses, "I heard that Team 10 is also on mission there, so we might encounter them..."

"Well, after all, that Ashima is the teacher..."

"Shino, Kiba..." Hinata wrung her fingers and looked timidly at the two people who dared to tease their teacher.

"You brats..." A cross formed on Hong's forehead, "You know too much!"

"Magic! Magic tree kill!"

……

The four of them set off in good condition, among them Shino and Kiba had their heads full...

Tanchu Street is a famous tourist destination in the Country of Fire. Hot springs, temples, and various bustling snack streets are intertwined together, creating a lively and prosperous scene.

"What a paradise..."

Ya soaked in the hot spring, enjoying it with his eyes closed, with a happy expression on his face.

"The hot springs here have a very good effect in relieving fatigue. It is said that it also has a good healing effect on some diseases. It is a rare and good place."

Shino was serious at all times and pushed up his glasses to popularize hot spring knowledge among his companions.

"I said Shino, can't you take off your glasses when you go to the hot springs?"

Ya turned his head to look at Shino, and Akamaru above his head also nodded in agreement.

"No, glasses are attributes and character settings!"

"Ah, I'm so exhausted..." Ya sighed, "We completed the one-week trip in three days, and Teacher Hong was too impatient..."

"People in love are hard to understand, I won't judge that..."

Kiba and Shino were chatting, and then dazzling fireworks lit up in the distant sky.

"That is……"

"It shouldn't be wrong. That's a signal from the Konoha ninja asking for help. Something probably happened!"

"Ah, you don't even give me time to rest!" Teeth chattered, pointing in the direction of the fireworks, "Then, let's go to support! We can't just leave our companions in danger!"

"Of course, but we should go back to Teacher Hong first to discuss how to act."

"So fast!"

Kiba noticed that Shino was already dressed and starting to pack his ninja bag.

……

the other side

"Teacher Ashima, have you seen this kind of ability of the enemy? This is simply a foul ability..."

Shikamaru was a little embarrassed at this time, and his body was dusty, but the unmotivated expression on his face did not change.

"Indeed, this ability is indeed very dangerous..."

People kept attacking their team, and none of them were powerful ninjas, but because they were not, things became tricky.

"Have you lost control of your consciousness..." Ino knocked out an enemy with one punch, but more people rushed forward.

"It's not just consciousness control..." Shikamaru used shadow imitation to control a crowd, but the crowd quickly broke away.

"To be able to break free from the shadow, these are no longer ordinary people."

"The key is not to kill!"

Ashima beat one person away and retreated.

"Once these people are injured, things will become troublesome..."

"It's like a curse! Haven't Konoha's inspection team come yet? There are so many enemies and we don't have enough manpower..."

Shikamaru was a little tired. After all, large-scale shadow imitation consumes chakra very violently.

"We can only rescue as many civilians as possible before they come. It was just an ordinary missing person incident. I didn't expect that things would become so bad..."

"So far we haven't seen the mastermind behind the scenes, but it's become so embarrassing. It's really troublesome..."

One of the fainted people suddenly struggled violently, and then became visibly thinner. The skin became dark, ferocious canine teeth grew out of the mouth, and the nails began to become sharp, like the claws of a wild beast...

"Another one!" Ino sighed heavily, "We have been very careful not to hurt them..."
