#63 - I prefer to praise others.
This differs from the five elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.
In the ninja world, these five elements are mostly used for sealing techniques.
For example, Orochimaru's "Five Elements Seal" consists of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. He used this to disrupt the power of the dual "Four Symbols Seal," or rather the "Eight Trigrams Seal," that Minato Namikaze had inscribed on Naruto, thereby performing the sealing technique.
"Participate in the Chunin Exams?"
Asuma Sarutobi rubbed his somewhat swollen hand.
"That's right."
Seiji nodded.
As long as this Second Master speaks, their Jonin leader, Yuki Minazuki, would definitely not dare to hold them back.
"This ah..."
Having lost face in front of Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi had a bit of an excuse.
He coughed lightly and said:
"It depends on Kurenai's opinion."
Regarding whether or not to participate in the Chunin Exams, Asuma Sarutobi actually had the idea of participating sooner.
He wanted to quickly make a name for himself and let the people around him see that he was not just the Hokage's son.
But also had his own name—Asuma!
However, this depended on whether Kurenai was willing to participate.
If Kurenai didn't want to participate in this year's Chunin Exams, he was willing to wait until the next one.
"Since... since Seiji said so, then we'll participate."
Kurenai Yuhi spoke, her delicate lips exhaling a bit of white heat in the winter.
"Kurenai, why do you participate just because Seiji said so? Are you so concerned about Seiji's opinion?"
Asuma Sarutobi said jealously.
He clenched his fist, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
Even though he had worked so hard in front of Kurenai, he couldn't even get a single glance back?
Was he, the childhood friend, destined to lose to Seiji, who appeared out of nowhere?
"This... there's no such thing."
Kurenai Yuhi's red eyes seemed even redder, and even her earlobes flushed slightly.
She, who could be described as having a bold personality, was also not good at dealing with such situations.
Especially when looking at the increasingly tall and sturdy Seiji, with his resolute face.
"Because Seiji looks the strongest. If he agrees, our team's pass rate will definitely be very high."
"Kurenai, your opinion is very right."
Asuma Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that he had been overthinking things.
His childhood sweetheart still cared about him.
Watching the two people's performance, Seiji's lips curled into a playful smile.
Kurenai Yuhi was not such a frivolous person and could not simply fall in love with him.
But if it was goodwill, Seiji thought it probably existed.
But this was too monotonous.
Seiji didn't like traditional love stories.
Of course, he didn't like being cuckolded either.
He preferred cuckolding others.
He appreciated the expression of a woman's depravity and the helplessness of the victim...
Compared to the original ending, Asuma and Kurenai's original future had been pried open and began to move towards a different future. Wasn't that also a kind of cuckolding?
The more Seiji looked at Asuma Sarutobi breathing a sigh of relief, his whole body relieved of the burden, and the expression that he thought he still had a chance.
The more Seiji could feel a trace of heat rising in his left and right eyes.
His pupil power had increased a little.
The upper limit of the chakra bottleneck had also been pried open under this pupil power and was climbing upwards.
That was the taste.
After the three of them chatted for a while, they went to a dumpling shop to have a meal, and Seiji left first.
He bought a basket of apples on the bustling street as a souvenir.
During this time, Seiji had visited Konoha Hospital quite often.
Nono Yakushi had taken a lot of time to teach him about medical ninjutsu.
Such a small gift made it even harder to show his innocence and gratitude.
Women like this kind of tune.
Seiji believed that Nono Yakushi, who liked children, was also not immune.
…………
Konoha Hospital.
"Teacher Nono, this is a souvenir."
Seiji put down a basket of apples.
"Little Seiji, you shouldn't have."
Nono Yakushi's holy face showed an unexpected smile, seemingly not expecting Seiji to be so polite.
Especially since Seiji was an orphan, she didn't know how much effort he would spend in private to learn these social niceties.
Thinking of this, Nono Yakushi's eyes couldn't help but carry a trace of pity when she looked at Seiji.
What a pitiful child.
"Come sit down, I have something to tell you."
Nono Yakushi beckoned to Seiji.
After Seiji sat down next to her, Nono Yakushi began to talk about things.
…………
Elsewhere in Konoha Hospital.
"Rin, you're doing well. How about coming to us after graduation?"
A female medical ninja looked admiringly at Rin Nohara as she performed medical ninjutsu on a budding cherry blossom.
As long as she could control the medical ninjutsu to make this cherry blossom bloom, it would be considered completing the "Emergency Measures" learning.
The purpose was to train medical ninjas to gather a large amount of medical chakra in an instant, so that they could save their companions when they needed first aid.
"Sister Minako, that... I don't want to be a support medical ninja."
Rin Nohara politely refused Minako Nishiyama.
"That's fine, anyway, it's the same after joining a team."
Minako Nishiyama shook her head.
Back then, Tsunade-sama proposed that each three-person team should provide a medical ninja.
It's just that this proposal ended without a result. Rin Nohara's approach can be regarded as complying with the proposal of that year.
"Nono-sama has heard of you. It is said that she will let her disciple come and study with you, remember to seize the opportunity."
Minako Nishiyama patted Rin Nohara's shoulder.
She really looked up to this little girl.
She would learn many medical ninjutsu as soon as she learned them. If this continues, she may not be able to learn the Creation Rebirth.
But to get ahead, you need connections.
If Rin Nohara has a good relationship with Nono Yakushi-sama, she will be unimpeded in Konoha Hospital.
Nono Yakushi is the second-in-command besides the Hokage's wife, Biwako Sarutobi.
"Okay, thank you, Sister Minako."
Rin Nohara thanked the sister who took care of her seriously.
She felt curious in her heart.
Who would Nono Yakushi-sama's disciple be?
Rin Nohara had never seen him in the hospital.
It is said that the disciple usually only receives Nono's teaching in Nono Yakushi's office for rest, and no one has ever bothered him.
After finishing today's practice, Rin Nohara also put on a white nurse uniform.
She would help the hospital part-time, which could be regarded as reducing the burden on her family.
It costs a lot for a civilian family to support a ninja like Rin Nohara, and life is very tight.
"I want a week's worth of soldier pills."
At a window in the hospital, Kakashi said to the staff member sitting at the counter.
Rin Nohara, who was pushing a trolley over to replenish the soldier pills on the shelf, caught sight of Kakashi.
"Kakashi."
Rin Nohara waved her little hand to say hello.
"Rin, are you..."
Kakashi looked at Rin Nohara inside in confusion.
"I'm here to help and earn some money."
In Konoha, the control of child labor is not strict.
After all, these ninjas of theirs can take on C-level missions after adapting for a period of time after they come out.
If they kill the enemy in a C-level mission, they will not be charged with manslaughter and be judged.
Ninjas, like the daimyo's army, have immunity from killing people.
Hearing this, Kakashi nodded and said:
"I just saw Seiji here. He seems to have worshipped a teacher here. It is said that he is looking for Minako Nishiyama, saying that this person will introduce a medical ninja with good talent to him."
Kakashi looked at Rin Nohara in her nurse outfit and felt that the person he was talking about was likely her.
"Eh, Seiji?"
Rin Nohara was stunned.
She had never heard of this.
