"Teacher, you were called over. Is there a new mission?"
Asuma became excited.
Was this another B-rank mission or higher?
That would be great!
"You went to see the Third Hokage again?"
Kurenai Yuhi turned to look at Asuma.
Asuma froze.
Then his face reddened, and he loudly retorted, "How could that be! I didn't go looking for him last time either. He gave it to me himself!"
