The two girls exchanged glances, their eyes narrowing slightly as a complicated glimmer flashed through them, one that seemed far too mature for girls their age.
It was hostility.
In fact, after Kurenai returned home yesterday, she had figured it out too.
Chen Fan had not really been confessing his feelings to her.
He had done it just so he could beat up Asuma!
So just how sincere that ‘confession’ had been remained questionable.
She simply had not expected that this guy would confess to Rin the very next day…
“I really should have accepted him without hesitation back then!” Kurenai inwardly cursed herself in frustration.
It did not matter how sincere Chen Fan had been.
Feelings could be cultivated!
If she liked him, she should act decisively!
After all…
When you meet a good man, you should secure him first.
Otherwise, you’ll regret it later.
That was something her mother had once told her while drunk.
The two girls continued staring at each other, all sorts of thoughts running through their minds as they seemed to be considering how to declare their claim.
Suddenly, Rin’s face flushed slightly as she hugged herself weakly.
“Chen Fan hugged me really tightly just now…”
Kurenai: “….”
…
Watching the two girls develop a vague sense of hostility, Asuma, who was standing some distance away, cursed inwardly.
“Damn it, what’s so good about a man like that?!”
What in the world was happening to this world…
He was obviously a scumbag who was two-timing them!
And not just any two-timing.
He had confessed yesterday and cheated today!
But why were you glaring at Rin, Kurenai?
Shouldn’t you be beating up that cheating bastard Chen Fan?!
Asuma’s heart was aching!
But he still took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself down.
He exchanged glances with several of his friends and gave them a signal.
Then, without making a sound, they began approaching Chen Fan…
“Since you’re a ninja, then solve problems like a ninja would, using a ninja’s methods!”
Those had been the Third Hokage’s exact words yesterday, and Asuma had firmly remembered them.
So what exactly was a ninja’s method?
Because of Chen Fan’s bad example, the teachers had emphasized it many times already: a ninja was all about deception!
Ambushes, poisoning…
Every move had to catch the enemy off guard, striking when they were unprepared and determining the outcome in an instant!
And the way of the ninja was already widely known.
Because Asuma was hostile toward Chen Fan, he trusted this philosophy even more.
Therefore…
“My father means that I should act like a ninja, sneak attack Chen Fan, defeat him, and get my revenge!”
Asuma felt that he had found the answer.
Without hesitation, he called over his friends.
His hand slipped into his ninja tool pouch, his killing intent concealed as he quietly approached.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan’s beating of Obito was nearing its end.
“Obito, you need to try harder,” Chen Fan said casually.
“If you don’t train harder, by next year, you’ll be the one teaching my and Rin’s child.”
“AAAAAHHHH!!!” Obito roared in helpless rage, but it was completely useless.
“You want Rin to have your child?”
“Of course!” Chen Fan replied matter-of-factly.
“Is that strange?”
Chen Fan was not some idiot who went around shouting, ‘Women will only slow down the speed of my sword-drawing.’
Wasn’t a man’s ‘sword’ precisely in need of a woman’s ‘polishing’ to become sharper and sharper?
It was just that he was too lazy to pursue girls, and too lazy to slowly court them and confess his feelings.
What was the point of confessing?
He could still get rejected.
Rather than that…
“AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!” Obito roared.
Then Chen Fan slapped him flat onto the ground.
“Now!”
Taking advantage of the moment when Chen Fan had just slapped Obito down and relaxed for an instant, Asuma’s eyes suddenly flashed with sharp light.
“Go to hell, Chen Fan!”
The next second, he pulled a brick out of his ninja tool pouch and smashed it viciously toward Chen Fan’s head.
At the same moment, his friends pulled out steel pipes, wooden clubs, and other weapons, viciously swinging them at Chen Fan.
They truly were ninjas.
Still as maidens, swift as rabbits.
In the blink of an eye, all sorts of chaotic weapons crashed into Chen Fan.
“Not good!”
In the distance, Kakashi and Shisui, who had come to monitor Asuma under the Third Hokage’s orders, both changed expressions.
They had been watching from here for quite some time and had a general idea of what Asuma and the others were planning.
Children getting into fights was nothing unusual.
But they had never imagined that Asuma and his friends would actually get serious!
Bricks?
Steel pipes?
And they were aiming for the head?
Aside from not using knives, what difference was there between this and fighting for their lives?!
One wrong move and someone could be killed!
Kakashi and Shisui instinctively rushed forward, but they were too far away and simply could not make it in time.
A trace of satisfaction flashed through Asuma’s eyes.
He had not held back at all.
Although he had not used a knife and had no intention of killing anyone,
this was more than enough!
“Chen Fan, all the resentment I’ve accumulated over the years, you’re going to feel it all now—”
Bang!
The brick smashed into Chen Fan’s head.
The brick shattered.
The steel pipe struck Chen Fan’s arm.
The steel pipe broke.
The wooden club struck Chen Fan’s back.
It snapped in half!
The entire scene fell silent.
Asuma lowered his head and looked at the brick in his hand, now shattered into eight pieces.
Then he looked at Chen Fan’s head, which did not even have a single strand of hair missing…
Then he watched as Chen Fan slowly turned his head.
“I thought you guys were sneaking over here for something serious.
Turns out…”
“That’s it?”
There was even a hint of disappointment in his voice.
