Naruto: All I want to do after transforming into Akali is be happy!

Chapter 153 Meeting

Orochimaru, once one of the legendary Sannin, launched the Konoha Crush plan and even used forbidden techniques to summon the First and Second Hokage who founded Konoha, as well as the Third and Fourth Hokage of the Sand Village.

What followed was a chaotic battle that ended with Hiruzen Sarutobi's death and the First and Second Hokage breaking free from Orochimaru's control.

However, if Hiruzen Sarutobi only dies in battle here, that would be alright.

But who knew that with the second generation regaining power, they would expose all the darkness hidden beneath the glamorous exteriors of the Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo brothers?

Although the Second Hokage still respected Hiruzen Sarutobi's status as Hokage, that was only in the general public's eyes.

Jonin and ninja clans naturally knew exactly what the situation was between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo.

As the son of the Third Hokage, although Sarutobi Asuma was always rebellious, he was still not severing his father-son relationship with the Third Hokage, was he?

Putting everything else aside, the pair of flying swallows that Sarutobi Asuma possesses are not something that an ordinary Jonin could afford.

So Hiruzen Sarutobi's mishap here naturally affected Asuma Sarutobi as well.

In the period leading up to Akatsuki's attack, Sarutobi Asuma became somewhat sensitive and impatient, and his actions and words carried a sense of wanting to prove himself. He also became much less interested in Kurenai Yuhi.

Kurenai Yuhi, of course, understood this.

While it's understandable, if Sarutobi Asuma could successfully navigate this period, then Kurenai Yuhi wouldn't have anything to say. But the problem is, he didn't get through it, and things got even worse.

According to Konoha Hospital, they were powerless to help Asuma with his injuries; they could only stabilize him temporarily and wait for Tsunade's return.

But when someone's injury can only be treated by Tsunade, doesn't that mean that they are left with only a theoretical possibility of recovery?

Kurenai Yuhi is still young. In Konoha, a female Jonin is much rarer than a male Jonin. Moreover, Kurenai Yuhi is a beautiful and powerful female Jonin who has mastered a unique genjutsu that can be passed down through generations. She is in high demand no matter where she is.

Even if nothing had happened between the two of them before, this situation is still worth considering carefully.

Therefore, Kurenai Yuhi wanted to back out of her relationship with Asuma.

This is not only a rational consideration, but also an emotional one...

Simply put, Kurenai Yuhi thinks Asuma Sarutobi is a bit unlucky.

Look, Sarutobi Asuma was born when the Third Hokage won the Second Shinobi World War, when Konoha was at its strongest and the Third Hokage was at the height of his power. As the Third Hokage's youngest son, he should have been the one who had the most fun.

As a result, not long after Sarutobi Asuma was born, Konoha first had the White Fang incident, then Danzo the Third Hokage was in trouble, and then came the Third Shinobi World War, which almost drained Konoha dry.

After finally surviving the Third Shinobi World War, it was the night of the Nine-Tails, and my mother died in the Battle of Biwa Lake.

Then, due to a falling out with the Third Hokage, he joined the Twelve Guardians. However, for some unknown reason, the Twelve Guardians engaged in a civil war and self-destructed, thus ending his life. Upon returning to Konoha, his father was in trouble. Just when things seemed to have nothing to do with his father, he encountered an external enemy. Within Konoha's borders, he was severely injured in a four-on-two battle by his own people. It was truly unbelievable.

So saying goodbye to Asuma is a certainty, but Kurenai still has two concerns.

The first is reputation, because even though the Third Hokage is no longer alive, he still served as Hokage for so many years.

As the son of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Asuma was highly sensitive in Konoha at this time, and everything he encountered was being observed under a magnifying glass.

Kurenai and Asuma said goodbye. There might not have been anything between them, but if the people around them magnified it and added some unpleasant things, then Kurenai could forget about getting married in the future.

The second concern was the future. Originally, Kurenai's career had reached its peak, so she was thinking about starting a family.

But now that starting a family has failed, it's unrealistic to look for someone else in the short term, so I have to focus on my career.

However, Kurenai had witnessed the strength of the Akatsuki Four who attacked this time, and she doubted whether she could still make progress in her career in the future.

So, summarizing this long list, the current situation of Yuhi Kuri is like joining the National Revolutionary Army in 49—stuck, neither here nor there.

However, Akali had a different understanding after hearing it.

Her dear teacher Hong said that this big, complicated bunch of questions were actually a request for her help!

If Hong still has room for improvement in her career, or more accurately, in her abilities, then her first concern is obviously not a concern.

As for the moral burden of leaving Sarutobi Asuma... wouldn't it be fine if Asuma wasn't crippled?

And right now, who else besides Akali can do both of these things at the same time?

Akali can provide the boost to her strength, but she hasn't tried the new features of her system yet.

Akali can also heal Sarutobi Asuma's injuries.

The only question is, what was the price Akali paid for all this?

Akali glanced at the exhausted yet still alluring mature woman in front of her.

Need I even mention the costs?

Akali smiled and said, "Teacher Red, I happen to have solutions to the problems you mentioned!"

"Really?" Kurenai Yuhi was overjoyed. "Won't this be too much trouble for you!"

"No trouble at all. As the saying goes, when the teacher has a problem, the student should do the work. So, Teacher Hong's problem is my problem!"

"It just so happens that I have a pretty good relationship with Jonin Guy. He certainly wouldn't want to accidentally injure a comrade, so leave Asuma's injuries to me. I have a plan!"

"As for Asuma, I will also help Kurenai explain things to her!"

"Hinata, let's go!"

After bidding farewell to the complex-looking Kurenai on the rooftop, Akali returned to the ward.

With the application of various treatments, including healing techniques, iron supplements, and the "Eternal Will Sandwich," Asma's complexion quickly improved.

Soon after, Asuma opened his dazed eyes, feeling an unprecedented ease throughout his body. As he opened his eyes, the painful memories of the past flooded back into his mind.

Recalling the excruciating despair he felt when Duan Yang proudly recounted his abilities during takeoff, Asuma's expression changed, and he quickly got up to check his injuries.

Only after he got up did he realize that there was an Akali next to him.

Asma suddenly realized: "Is it you, Akali?"

Akali smiled mischievously: "That's right, it's me. Congratulations, Asmasan, the surgery was a success, you're a girl now!"

Asuma: "!?!"

[Ding! Asuma's emotional value +9999!]

On this day, Asuma went to great lengths to confirm whether his brother was still alive.

However, we'll leave aside Asuma's lingering shock for now.

Meanwhile, a meeting is underway!
