"Asuma!"
The sleepy Anko opened the door and jumped up. In the morning, she was sent home by the owner of the izakaya, and she slept with a groggy head until the afternoon.
"I just said I didn't dream yesterday!"
She grabbed Asuma's arm and pinched it hard. She didn't let go until Asuma cried out in pain.
"You're back! Great!"
As she spoke, she pulled Asuma into her home. This was originally Orochimaru's house. After he defected from Konoha, it fell into the hands of Anko. It was very large inside, with some rooms having closed doors and others open.
The furnishings in one room are full of girlish atmosphere, while the other ones are a bit eerie. Those are the rooms where Anko keeps snakes.
She ran in the door, looked at the clock, checked the time, and then hurriedly ran into her room.
"Wait a moment! I'll be right away!"
There was a rustling sound in the house. Asuma really only waited for a few minutes before Anko opened the door and ran out of the house.
It really only took her a short time to get herself out of the state of just waking up.
The messy hair has become smooth, and the wrinkled clothes have become comfortable clothes, but there is no other part of the dress. Her main focus is youth and beauty, without too much modification.
She took her purse, put on her shoes, pulled Asuma and ran to the street again.
"We don't have much to do during this time, so we should be able to gather a lot of people!" She pulled Asuma and ran.
The Jonins are considered the richest group in the village. They are all ninjas who have lived and died for the village for a long time. Even if they just get the reward from the mission, they are already very wealthy. Plus the additional gains from the mission, every Jonin is extremely rich.
However, Kakashi still lives in his father's old house, because White Fang's house is much more luxurious than what he can afford now.
"Did you know that not long ago, Kakashi withdrew from Anbu and is now a free Jonin who can take on tasks independently."
"It is said that he still wanted to lead the team, but the team members he arranged for the first time did not agree with him, so he sent him back to the Ninja Academy for reconstruction."
"Asuma, are you also Jonin now? By this time next year, will you also be leading the team?"
Anko was chatting with Asuma while walking on the road. Compared to his father who had almost nothing to say, and the tribesmen who talked over and over again, Anko was much more lovable.
"Probably not."
Asuma shook his head. He had never thought about leading a team. Now that he suddenly thought about it, he might really choose to lead a team. But when he thought about it carefully, it was too troublesome to take care of children, so he might as well not do it. Those chattering little ninjas were really annoying.
"Asuma doesn't like children!"
Anko shouted with a smile, "I would like to bring a group of little ninjas, but they will probably reject me with a embarrassed look, saying that you, a snake-playing guy, will definitely scare the children."
"Snakes are very cute animals, don't you think so, Asuma?"
Looking at Anko's expectant eyes, Asuma grinned awkwardly and nodded imperceptibly. Seeing his reaction, Anko was not angry, but laughed happily.
"Haha! I knew you would agree with me!"
"Whenever you and Hong get married, I will give you a big python as a gift!"
Anko said as he knocked on the door of Kakashi's house.
"Hey, hey, hey! Kakashi! Come out!" She shouted Kakashi's name while knocking, but after knocking for a while, no one responded.
"I clearly remember that Kakashi has not gone to pick up the mission in the past two days. He should be at home!" Anko scratched his head and stopped knocking. He took out two small snakes from his pocket and threw them hard, and the little snakes flew into the small courtyard of Kakashi's house.
"Okay, let's go find the next one--" She didn't care what would happen to the snake she threw, and pulled Asuma to start looking for other friends.
"Might Guy! Today's practice is suspended for one day! How about it!" She shouted to the green-skinned watermelon that was running in circles around Konoha as the wind blew under her feet.
Then Green Watermelon ran backwards in front of her, showing his white teeth. While running at high speed, he had noticed Asuma next to Anko, but he was running too fast and could not stop immediately.
"Asuma!" He gave his original hug, and then shouted, "I'm going to find Kakashi! You go find someone else!"
"We have already gone to find Kakashi." Anko said.
"Then I'll go find Hong!"
"You can't go looking for Hong--" Anko pointed at Asuma with a wink, and Might Guy immediately understood what she meant.
"Yes, Asuma you are back, you must invite everyone in person!" He nodded and continued, "Then I will run another twenty laps! When I finish running, you should have found everyone!"
There are many people of the same generation as Asuma, and almost all of them are his friends. Although the relationship with his family and father is not good, he really has a lot of friends in the village.
And after so many years, no matter how bad they are, they are still Chunin, and they are elite Chunin who occupy important positions, such as Izumo Kamizuki and Gang Kotetsu who guard the gate. They are the first to know that Asuma is back as Konoha.
"Iruka seems to be teaching students at school. If you want to find him, you have to wait until he finishes class."
"Or you can go between classes. How about Asuma you go find Hong first, and we'll stay here until Iruka get out of class is over?"
Namiashi Raidō smiled rarely, tilted his head, and blinked at Asuma. Others agreed with his suggestion and said they would wait for Iruka at the school gate, leaving Asuma to find Yuuhi Kurenai alone.
Everyone was having a heated discussion and preparing to rush to the Ninja Academy when Might Guy finally finished the lap. He also changed a set of clothes and took a shower to wash away the smell of sweat.
"Kakashi hasn't come yet?" He looked around the crowd and found a blind spot.
"Well, he is bandaging Konoha Hospital now." Anko's face was slightly red. She never thought that the two little snakes she threw out actually bit Kakashi's butt while he was sleeping, and they were two venomous snakes--
Fortunately, those two snakes are not very venomous, so Kakashi can probably make it to the party in the evening.
And now only red is left--
Asuma stood alone in front of Hong's house. Just now, his friends gave him a lot of ideas. Some said to buy a large bouquet of bright red roses, some said to buy some useful handicrafts, and some said it didn't need to be so troublesome, as long as the people arrived.
But he still took a small bouquet of roses and knocked gently on the door.
