Chapter 86: Ninjato Are Better Than Girls
The girls in this world?
In this world where the people are just charcters from an anime to Uehara Soma, he indeed collected quite a few high-definition beautiful images as wallpapers, and even joked around calling them "wives" and such.
The main wife, the second wife... the side wife, compiled together.
There's even 3D figures and such.
But after coming to this world, Uehara Soma hasn't thought about this issue yet.
One reason is, he hasn't interacted with many girls.
If you really have to mention one, it's Ameyuri Ringo. Quite cute but too young.
And now that Hoshigaki Kisame brought up this topic, in Uehara Soma's mind, an image involuntarily appeared.
Terumi Mei.
The top genius of the Hidden Mist Village.
Dual Kekkei Genkai.
Uehara Soma pondered in his heart.
"Terumi Mei's age is a little younger than mine, maybe two or three years younger, a little older than Ameyuri Ringo."
"But, in the current Hidden Mist Village, she doesn't have much fame yet."
"I remember, in the original storyline, Terumi Mei didn't have much presence in the Third Great Ninja War."
"Logically, she should have already graduated."
"The reason for this, is it intentional to hide talent and strength, or because there were no references for the awakened Kekkei Genkai, so she had to research and develop Ninjutsu on her own?"
"Thus resulting in a slow initial increase in power?"
Uehara Soma didn't take long to think, quickly snapping back to reality.
"Kisame, your timing is perfect, there's another mission from the Forging Master Spiritual Land."
"Oh?"
Hoshigaki Kisame's attention was immediately caught.
What about the girls?
Put it aside.
For Hoshigaki Kisame, girls couldn't compare to Ninjato at all.
Even if he already owned Kiriichimonji.
Hoshigaki Kisame knew that the Ninjato crafted by Uehara Soma would never be given to him again.
But Hoshigaki Kisame would anticipate Uehara Soma crafting new Ninjato more than expecting girls.
"How are you feeling now?"
"Very good."
Hoshigaki Kisame patted his chest.
"Then let's not delay, let's start now, we're heading over to Ao-senpai's place."
"Okay."
The two walked towards Ao's location.
At this time, Ao and Ameyuri Ringo were both in the training ground.
Biwa Juzo wasn't there, so Ao was helping out by giving pointers to Ameyuri Ringo.
Even though Ao and Biwa Juzo had different styles.
But, as a Jonin, Ao guiding Genin Ameyuri Ringo was completely sufficient.
"Ao-senpai."
"Soma, do you need something?"
"Ao-senpai, I received a Materials mission."
Immediately, Ao's expression became serious.
"Alright."
Ao went to Ameyuri Ringo and arranged the next steps for her training.
Later, back in front of Uehara Soma.
"Soma, I'm ready."
"Then let's go to my forging room."
The three of them entered the forging room.
After the decline of Forging Island, not only were many houses on the island vacant, but even the forging rooms were vacant.
Arafuni used the one previously used by his sensei, which was a certain distance from Uehara Soma's forging room.
Uehara Soma didn't insist on Arafuni moving to a nearby forging room.
For a blacksmith, a familiar forging room often allows for better performance.
And the distance wasn't too far.
With a ninja's speed, it would only take minutes to get there.
Uehara Soma even thought it was better this way.
The sounds of forging from the two forging rooms wouldn't interfere with each other.
Uehara Soma silently thought.
"Enter Dungeon Instance!"
[Dungeon Instance opening.]
[Opening successful.]
[Transferring.]
Uehara Soma's figure vanished from Forging Island.
The next moment.
"Summon henchmen!"
Immediately after, Ao and Hoshigaki Kisame's figures also disappeared.
...
At the same time, on the other side, Land of Fire, Konoha.
"Father."
Asuma entered the Hokage's office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly.
"Asuma, I've told you many times, outside, you should call me Hokage-sama."
Asuma clenched his fist.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression softened.
"Asuma, what's the matter?"
"Hokage-sama, I don't want to continue being a ninja."
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just softened, immediately furrowed his brows again.
And his frown deepened.
"Asuma, do you know what you're saying?"
"I do."
Asuma lowered his head.
"I dislike being a ninja."
"They say I'm useless, just because of being the Hokage's son, that's why I get attention. I'm far inferior to Kakashi, I've completely disgraced you, Hokage-sama."
"And because of my incompetence, you've had to assign ninjas to protect me in secret."
"This is treatment that no one else gets."
"Because of me, you've faced criticism, Hokage-sama."
"Me being a ninja is nothing but trouble."
"You've always thought I'm far inferior to my brother."
"Since I can't compare to anyone."
"Since everyone thinks I'm not fit to be a ninja, I won't be one anymore."
"Kakashi is even displeased with me because of Uchiha Obito's death."
"But, is this my fault?"
"If I had to choose, I'd rather die there!"
Asuma became more and more aggrieved as he spoke, tears dripping down.
Sarutobi Hiruzen became somewhat annoyed.
"Asuma, are you implying it's my fault?"
"Hokage-sama, I didn't mean it like that."
"You did not?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his palm, wanting to slap Asuma hard across the face, but just as it was about to fall, he forcibly restrained himself.
"Ah!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
"Asuma, let's pretend I didn't hear what you said today, go back and calm down."
"Hokage-sama..."
"Get out, don't make me hit you."
Asuma left.
Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Asuma's departing figure and shook his head.
"Compared to Shinnosuke, he's far behind."
"Both are my sons, so why is there such a big difference?"
"But, how could Kakashi be displeased with Asuma because of Uchiha Obito's incident?"
"No, perhaps he's displeased with me."
"After all, the ninja secretly protecting, I arranged."
"But, as Hokage, after all the efforts and sacrifices I've made for Konoha, can't I even do this? I just, thought a little for my family."
"I've devoted most of my time and energy to the village."
"I owe my family a lot."
"So, using some of the village's resources to make up for the family is not excessive."
"This is completely reasonable."
"That's not Kakashi's character."
"Could he have been influenced by someone?"
Just after Asuma left, another figure entered the Hokage's office.
This time, it was Sarutobi Biwako.
Different from Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Biwako didn't have the idea of comparing Asuma and Shinnosuke.
For both children, Sarutobi Biwako loved them dearly.
In Sarutobi Biwako's view, if you have strong talent and abilities, you do more.
If you have weak talent and abilities, you do less.
They are both her sons.
Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen's handling of Asuma was unsatisfactory to Sarutobi Biwako.
"Biwako, I just want Asuma to strive for more."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his wife across from him, somewhat helpless.
"Hiruzen, keeping Asuma in Konoha is indeed a struggle for him."
"The atmosphere in the village isn't very good."
"Perhaps it's best to let Asuma stay away for a while."
"I heard that the Daimyo is assembling a new batch of The Twelve Guardian Ninja in the capital of the Land of Fire. How about letting Asuma join them and see?"
"It's a good idea to let Asuma get away from Konoha for a while to relax."
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment.
"Biwako, your suggestion is acceptable."
"It's unlikely that the future of Konoha will be entrusted to Asuma."
"Asuma lacks the necessary talent."
"But establishing a connection between Asuma and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire doesn't require exceptional abilities."
"In the future, he can return to Konoha and join the village Elders."
"This is indeed a decent promotion route."
So the next day, Asuma was sent out of Konoha.
Accompanied by a ninja escort, Asuma rode in a carriage towards the capital of the Land of Fire.
Asuma looked back at Konoha from afar, feeling an unprecedented sense of relief.
"At last, I don't have to bear the burden of being the Hokage's son anymore."
"At last, I don't have to compare myself to others in their eyes."
"Father, I won't let you feel ashamed anymore."
"Goodbye, Konoha!"
