30: Green Tea Sasuke, Eye Drops For Sarutobi Asuma

Senju Tobirama: "Here we are discussing the issue of Konoha's Hokage successor, and we will put aside irrelevant reminiscences. Monkey, please explain about your son."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's head is about to explode.

This is one of the first few things he explained.

This damn comparison live broadcast room—it seems that everything about him is going to be exposed!

Taking a deep breath, his brain starts running fast.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Sensei, about my son Asuma, this is the tradition of our Sarutobi clan and Ino-Shika-Chō."

The Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans have maintained friendly relations for generations under the witness of the Sarutobi clan.

This is a tradition handed down from the Sengoku period.

Senju Tobirama: "This one barely makes sense, next, what about the Yuhikari team?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen has a headache.

He almost pulled his beard off.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Teacher, in the class with Kurenai Yuhi, the three Genins are all good at detective skills, so I arranged them to form a team."

Orochimaru: "Hehe! Sensei Sarutobi, if I remember correctly, that Kurenai Yuhi seems to be good at illusions, right?"

Ohnoki: "Sarutobi, I really admire you, letting an illusion ninja lead a reconnaissance team!"

Fourth Raikage: "Third Generation, what were you thinking? Actually, don't explain, we all understand."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "You guys..."

Senju Tobirama: "Okay! Enough nonsense, Monkey, hurry up and choose a suitable Hokage for the village. At the very least, their strength must be acceptable. Don't let people from other villages laugh at us!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's body trembled.

He's afraid that his teacher's tone is already very dissatisfied with him...

["Third Generation project, Third Generation project..."]

[Thinking in Sasuke's mind, he silently denied the possibility of a coincidence.]

[Moreover, this strengthened his judgment:]

[Behind this series of events in Konoha is Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is trying to protect his power through various means!]

[Thinking of this, and recalling the Uchiha clan land occupied by a large number of Sarutobi clan members, Sasuke felt a surge of anger.]

[Looking at Sarutobi Asuma.]

[First, he'll charge interest on the Third Hokage.]

[Isn't your son going after Teacher Kurenai? Let me drop a little hint to him!]

[After thinking about it, Sasuke said to Yuhihong:]

["Hinata often praised Teacher Kurenai to me for being amazing."]

["Teacher Kurenai successfully promoted to Jōnin this year without much support!"]

["I heard that among Teacher Kurenai's peers, only a handful have officially become Jōnin, and some of the most powerful are just special Jōnin."]

[Hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi felt much better, and stretched out her hand to rub Hinata's head.]

["I didn't expect little Hinata to praise me, thank you, little Hinata."]

[Hinata looks at Sasuke and blinks.]

[Did I ever say something like that?]

[Ino, on the side, is slightly surprised.]

["Huh? Did Teacher Kurenai just become a Jōnin this year?"]

[Little Sakura is also a little envious:]

["It's amazing. I don't know when I'll be able to become a Jōnin instructor."]

[Sasuke nodded and added:]

["And Teacher Kurenai is leading the team with the best grades in the elite class of the Ninja School. Doesn't this mean that even Mr. Hokage values Teacher Kurenai very much?"]

[As soon as this was mentioned, Kurenai Yuhi became a little worried again.]

["I really don't know why Master Hokage arranged things this way. I'm under a lot of pressure now."]

[Sarutobi Asuma, on the side, suddenly had an embarrassed expression.]

[Seeing this scene, Kurenai Yuhi frowned.]

["Asuma, could it be you who said something to Hokage-sama?"]

["How could it be! How could I do such a thing, Kurenai? You have to believe in your own abilities!" Sarutobi Asuma categorically denied it.]

[Sasuke also nodded and said: "I also believe in Teacher Kurenai. Teacher Kurenai became a Jōnin through her own hard work!"]

[However!]

[After hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi became more serious, staring at Sarutobi Asuma closely.]

["Asuma, I want you to be honest with me about why I became the instructor Jōnin of Class 8."]

[Seeing this, Sasuke smiled inwardly.]

[Sure enough, as he expected.]

[According to what he learned from Hinata, Teacher Kurenai's father died in the Nine Tails Rebellion. For Teacher Kurenai to be promoted to Jōnin after this!]

[It is conceivable that, while Sarutobi Asuma may have had a hand in it, Teacher Kurenai herself must have put in a lot of effort.]

[With few Jōnins among her peers, this is something Teacher Kurenai can be proud of!]

[As a result, Teacher Kurenai would resist outside help at this time, as it would tarnish what she is proud of!]

Hiss!

A group of people were dumbfounded!

Kurenai Yuhi's thoughts and emotions can be said to be completely guided by Sasuke!

Orochimaru: "First, talk about the things the other person is proud of to gain favor, then use others' words to gradually arouse Kurenai's doubts, and finally repeat the things she's proud of, detonating her suspicions!"

Terumi Mei: "Sarutobi Asuma can't say anything now. Her suspicions have already been raised!"

Kurenai Yuhi: "..."

Temari: "Uchiha Sasuke has such a scary mouth!"

Samui: "And he has completely cleared himself. Even if he detonates Kurenai's suspicion, she may end up trusting him the most!"

Azabui: "After all, Uchiha Sasuke talked about what the other person is most proud of."

Iruka: "Just looking at what Sasuke said, I can't understand the thought process behind it at all!"

Might Guy: "I don't understand either..."

Tsunade: "Ordinary people can't comprehend his inner thoughts. Whether it's Kurenai or Sarutobi Asuma, I'm afraid they're completely unaware of Uchiha Sasuke's malice."

Jiraiya: "I understand. This is what's called 'green tea,' though it's usually used to describe women..."
