Chapter 437
No one knows whether Kurenai Yuhi intends to bring Asuma's body back to Konoha or what.
But in the end... no one stopped them.
When Shikamaru and the others returned to Konoha, they reported Asuma's death.
Ino knew a little Medical Ninjutsu and witnessed Asuma slowly leaving them.
Tsunade remained calm upon hearing the news.
Having experienced countless life-and-death situations, he is able to remain calm.
Or did they anticipate this scene?
"Where's the red one?"
Tsunade asked.
"Didn't you come back with me?"
Shikamaru and the others. "?!"
The edges of the Konoha.
Naruto Uzumaki's training progress has yielded results.
The Rasengan, with its unique shape, spins at high speed like a hurricane.
Naruto Uzumaki has already begun to incorporate wind attributes into his Rasengan.
And this move...
In the original manga, Crown Prince Naruto once used a Water Release: Raging Ninjutsu in conjunction with Captain Yamato's Water Release: Raging Torrent.
This move... is called A-rank Wind Release: Rasengan!
"It's finally starting to look like something..."
Kakashi smiled with satisfaction.
Although it's still a long way from the S-rank envisioned technique [Wind Release: Rasenshuriken], this is already a good start.
In other words... it's "in its initial stages"!
This moment.
In his mastery of the Rasengan, Naruto Uzumaki has surpassed Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze, achieving something no one else has been able to do!
The entire process took just over a week.
This fully demonstrates Naruto Uzumaki's exceptional talent!
Naruto... you have indeed surpassed the Fourth Hokage.
"Kakashi -senpai..."
Just as the two were having a good time, Yamato a gloomy expression.
"Mr. Asuma... is dead."
Kakashi and Naruto: "!"
Shortly after, in the Hokage's office.
"Where is Kurenai Yuhi?! We must find her!"
Tsunade's stern voice rang out.
Kakashi scratched his head and walked into the office.
We learned this through the conversation.
Kurenai Yuhi never returned; she disappeared with Asuma's body.
"Well, Hokage- sama."
Kakashi raised his hand.
"I think things might not be as you imagine..."
Kakashi explained the love story between Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi to everyone.
The various things the two have experienced since childhood.
Only after returning from the Land of Demons did Kurenai Yuhi's attitude towards Asuma change.
From then on, Kurenai Yuhi kept rejecting Asuma.
"So, in fact, I think... Kurenai Yuhi still has Jonin for Asuma..."
Kakashi concluded in a calm tone.
"Perhaps he was too heartbroken... that's why he disappeared for a while."
After hearing Kakashi's explanation, everyone fell silent.
Everything led to that day.
So, what exactly happened during the Land of Demons's Moryo incident?
"Amakawa Akito...?"
Tsunade's face darkened.
Thinking back to three years ago, in Tanzaku Town, when I was trying to find a way to remove the Eight Trigrams Seal for Orochihime, I was... I was... you know.
Tsunade felt a wave of nausea and anger!
Although nothing actually happened, it was just a matter of the mind, but it still infuriated her!
In addition, according to Amakawa Akito.
He will make his move against Konoha in less than six months.
Damn it!
Tsunade was somewhat anxious.
Before that moment arrives, all of Konoha's forces must be united.
To build a strong defense force according to one's own will, and to resist invasion.
At this time, the people of Konoha were unaware of what was happening in Kirigakure in the Land of Water, thousands of miles away.
The Three-Tails and the Six-Tails are already in Akatsuki's grasp.
And it will be sealed away soon.
At the same time.
The distant Land of Rain.
Asuma was placed in a life support container.
This is not Black Prison, but the "prison" of Amegakure, used to detain all kinds of criminals.
Because the crime rate in the Land of Rain is almost zero.
Therefore, most of the people imprisoned were criminals from vassal states such as the Land of Demons and the Land of Snow.
At this moment, in a quiet corner of the prison, there were some private rooms.
These rooms were specifically set up for certain types of criminals.
Asuma floated in the life support tank, her eyes tightly closed.
He will not wake up for the time being due to the effects of the medication.
Furthermore, thanks to the nutrient solution, the damage he suffers will heal quickly.
In the dimly lit prison cell, Asuma was not the only one present, but also the statue placed in the center.
Also, Kurenai Yuhi came to visit.
No one in Konoha knows where Kurenai Yuhi went.
Even if one were to speculate, one would only assume it was a heartbroken lover burying the deceased Asuma.
"Asuma..."
Kurenai Yuhi knelt on all fours, gazing at Asuma in the jar, her face filled with sorrow.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Akito used Dark Taijutsu from behind, relentlessly beating Kurenai Yuhi.
"I'm sorry... Asuma... I'm sorry..."
Kurenai Yuhi sobbed, tears streaming down her face.
Meanwhile, the emperor of Amegakure, the man behind her, continued his ruthless and merciless Taijutsu attacks.
Formidable strength and superb Taijutsu.
This Kurenai Yuhi with absolutely no power to resist.
He could only allow Amakawa Akito to attack him.
"I have saved Asuma."
Akito's face was hidden in the shadows, and he only focused on launching Taijutsu attacks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Then, as agreed, you will become my spy planted in Konoha."
It would be quite interesting to plant a spy before destroying Konoha.
A gesture that's better than nothing, it's like adding icing on the cake.
No... it's still somewhat useful.
At least Kurenai Yuhi could report the whereabouts of other Jonin, such as Kakashi and Guy, immediately.
This is very advantageous for the operation.
"Woo~~~."
Kurenai Yuhi let out a mournful cry, but there was no answer.
The pain from the Taijutsu attacks was unbearable for her.
"Take this!"
The next moment, Akito unleashed the ultimate technique of Dark Taijutsu.
With a bang, Kurenai Yuhi was sent flying.
Even though she used Water Release Ninjutsu to quickly build a defense, it was still broken in one blow.
She screamed as she flew out, her collapsing Water Release spraying everywhere, before finally crashing into the outer wall of the life support tank with a bang.
"As... ma..."
As her consciousness faded, Kurenai stared at the face inside the life support tank, her Kurenai Yuhi slowly sliding down her cheeks...
357. The Immortal Perfect Ninja
The border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Grass.
Within the Golden Wheel Mountain Range, a peak called Mount Sumeru appeared before Kakuzu and Hidan.
"He actually sent someone all the way to climb mountains and cross rivers... That damn boss, I'll curse him next time."
Hidan, carrying a scythe, had clearly gone to great lengths to get here.
Rugged mountains are everywhere.
Strange murals are scattered around.
