"Uchiha... is it? Go on, and be careful."
Mahiru Yuhi ultimately said no more, responding briefly.
The Third Hokage's decision to place Kiyoshi Uchiha and Asuma Sarutobi together was, in fact, a signal that he thought highly of them.
"Okay."
Seeing that her father had no intention of objecting, Kurenai Yuhi was delighted. She hurriedly put away her cloth, put on her shoes, and headed out.
She was going to see Kiyoshi today.
Some time ago, Asuma Sarutobi had suddenly mentioned sparring with Kiyoshi in taijutsu. She wanted to go see how things turned out.
Not because she was afraid Kiyoshi would lose.
She was afraid Asuma Sarutobi would lose and be unable to save face afterward.
After all, Asuma Sarutobi's temperament was anything but good right now. To avoid any conflicts, Kurenai Yuhi decided to go smooth things over.
"Oh, Kurenai, you're heading out too?"
When Asuma Sarutobi saw Kurenai Yuhi coming out of her house, his eyes lit up, and he was instantly pleasantly surprised.
He had been pacing outside, thinking about what excuse he could use to call Kurenai away if he ran into Senior Shinku. Yet Kurenai had happened to come out on her own.
Could this be the legendary mutual understanding between kindred hearts?
"What a coincidence, Asuma."
Kurenai Yuhi said, "Didn't you say you were sparring with Kiyoshi today? I came out to take a look."
"Of course. This is also to make sure our team stays in shape before we face missions in the future, right?"
Asuma Sarutobi came up with a clever excuse.
His true purpose was to compete with Kiyoshi in Chakra Flow.
He had not seen a single classmate who knew this technique!
Other than the White Fang, who was famous for his swordsmanship, perhaps his son Kakashi knew it
