Rushing Forward Once More!

"Does Kurenai like Hyuga Bin? How could that be?"

Watching Hyuga Bin and Kurenai Yuhi flirt and enjoy each other's company, Sarutobi Asuma felt heartbroken and couldn't accept it.

At this very moment, he believed that Kurenai Yuhi truly liked someone, because in all the time he had known her, he had never seen her smile so happily at anyone else.

He could accept that Kurenai Yuhi liked someone, but he couldn't accept that person being Hyuga Bin.

Or rather, he couldn't accept that person being any of his classmates, except for Hatake Kakashi.

In the class, the only one he admired was Hatake Kakashi; all other classmates were inferior to him.

Of course, he wasn't looking down on the male classmates, nor on Hyuga Bin, but rather it was about his own confidence.

Take Hyuga Bin for example; during their time at the Ninja Academy, he was only in the upper-middle tier of the class, far behind Hatake Kakashi, who consistently ranked first in their year after graduation.

After graduation, Hyuga Bin didn't "display" any exceptional combat talent, instead transitioning into a Medical Ninja.

Furthermore, Hyuga Bin was a ninja from the Hyuga branch family. Kurenai Yuhi, as the daughter of the Yuhi clan head, Yuhi Shinku, would never be with a Hyuga Bin.

Sarutobi Asuma could boldly say that besides being more handsome than him, getting promoted to Special Jonin earlier, and having talent in Medical Ninjutsu, Hyuga Bin had no other advantages that could compare to him.

"Why would Kurenai fall for him?"

Watching the two finish their dessert and bid each other farewell, the heartbroken Sarutobi Asuma still couldn't understand.

He wanted to chase after them and ask Kurenai Yuhi, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to move. Instead, as if guided by some unseen force, he followed Hyuga Bin to Konoha's training grounds.

After watching Hyuga Bin enter the training ground, Sarutobi Asuma hesitated for a long time before choosing to follow him in. He then spoke to Hyuga Bin, who was practicing Taijutsu, asking:

"Bin-kun, are you interested in sparring with me?"

"No..."

Hyuga Bin was about to refuse when the system's option mission appeared in his mind.

[Option A: Refuse Sarutobi Asuma's challenge. Completion Reward: Wind Release - Sickle Weasel (C-rank reward).]

[Option B: Accept Sarutobi Asuma's challenge and instantly defeat him. Completion Reward: Water Release - Great Waterfall Technique (A-rank reward).]

[Option C: Accept Sarutobi Asuma's challenge and defeat him. Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +0.1.]

"Then let's spar."

Hyuga Bin chose C, accepting the challenge.

[Option mission complete, Stamina +0.1.]

With his current strength, he was confident he could take on dozens, even hundreds, of Sarutobi Asumas.

Five minutes later.

"Thwack, thwack!"

Sarutobi Asuma was beaten into a pulp by Hyuga Bin's Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, his face resembling a pig's head.

"Bin, I will challenge you again."

After uttering this threat, Sarutobi Asuma ran off without waiting for Hyuga Bin to heal him.

Hyuga Bin shook his head, unable to comprehend Sarutobi Asuma's idiotic behavior.

Four days later, Hyuga Bin's leave ended, and he followed the main force to the front lines to fight against Iwagakure.

This time, having already been promoted to Special Jonin, he was no longer an ordinary Medical Ninja but the leader of a medical squad responsible for ten Medical Ninjas.

Konoha had gathered nearly a thousand ninjas for this operation.

Adding the over two thousand ninjas already at the front lines, the total exceeded three thousand.

If the original plot were to unfold as written, these three thousand ninjas would all be cannon fodder.

After Namikaze Minato destroyed the Kannabi Bridge, the entire front line, responsible for tying down over five thousand Iwagakure ninjas, would be left with only a handful of survivors.

Of course, the opposing Rock Ninja would also suffer over three thousand casualties.

After this battle, the Five Great Shinobi Villages would be severely weakened, and the Third Shinobi World War would essentially come to an end.

On the way to the front lines, Momonoki Kano was among them and became a ninja in Hyuga Bin's squad.

Therefore, upon seeing Hyuga Bin, Momonoki Kano's address changed to "Bin-san."

"Sister Kano, you can call me Bin, Xiao Bin, or A Bin," Hyuga Bin felt a bit unaccustomed to Momonoki Kano's current address.

After all, she had been an older sister figure to him for years, and suddenly being called "Bin-sama" felt somewhat off.

"How can I do that? Bin-san is the squad leader now." Momonoki Kano naturally couldn't accept the names Hyuga Bin suggested. She then thought of a solution for him: "How about this, when others are around, I'll still call you Bin-san, but when we're alone, I'll call you Bin-kun. How does that sound?"

"Alright," Hyuga Bin accepted.

In the world of Naruto, rank determined address, and Hyuga Bin respected this point; otherwise, Momonoki Kano would be in a difficult position.

Besides, Momonoki Kano wasn't his secretary, and he wouldn't [time stop, chase active exercise], [after a meal, due to heavy rain, brought home]. In the future, he would rarely be alone with Momonoki Kano, so she would clearly not have the chance to call him "Bin-kun."

"Bin-san, what are your thoughts on this war?"

"We will win," Hyuga Bin stated with certainty.

"..."

Upon arriving at the front lines, Hyuga Bin didn't rest first. Instead, he immediately joined the work of treating the wounded.

After a prolonged tug-of-war, the number of casualties on the front lines was now immense.

Since the entire "Minato Squad" hadn't come to the front lines this time, Hyuga Bin didn't know when the Battle of Kannabi Bridge would break out, which further increased the difficulty of saving Uchiha Obito.

Hyuga Bin could only place his hopes on the original story, which stated it would break out in the summer, several months later. This would at least give him a rough timeframe.

Compared to a darkened Uchiha Obito, Hyuga Bin preferred the dead last who dreamed of becoming Hokage every day.

As a friend, he couldn't stand by and watch the tragedy of Uchiha Obito's descent into darkness, Nohara Rin's death, and Hatake Kakashi becoming a slacker, knowing the plot beforehand.

From the perspective of a transmigrator, he also wanted to see what expressions Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu would have if their plan was disrupted.
