Chapter 452: Asuma’s Pride (Ch 452)

Hearing Qiu Shanjun’s words, Tsunade’s mouth curled up into a smile. After looking around, she found that they were also looking at her, so she explained:

“When it comes to interrogation and exerting mental pressure, Morino Ibiki is a professional. I believe that those who can persist under his pressure have good stress resistance.

This is also the quality that one needs to possess to become a Chunin. After all, once you become a Chunin, you have the responsibility to lead Genin to complete missions. If you don’t have good stress resistance, you will only make a mess of things in the end.”

After hearing what Sister Tsunade said, before Uchiha Qiushan said anything, the jonin in the office all nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Uchiha Qiushan did not say anything else. He just looked back at the huge crystal ball and asked:

“By the way, Sister Tsunade, where are the Kazekage Rasa of the Sand Village and the Mizukage Mei Terumi of the Mist Village? Why aren’t you with them on the day of the Chunin Exams?”

Hearing Uchiha Qiushan’s words, Tsunade took the warm water from Shizune’s hand and drank a sip, while rolling her eyes at him and said:

“This Hokage is not feeling well, so I’ll let the old man Sandaime take my place. Anyway, he’s quite familiar with the Kazekage, so let him make use of his remaining energy.”

After hearing Tsunade’s words, Uchiha Qiushan didn’t say anything else. He certainly understood what Tsunade meant.

Speaking of which, the reason why Orochimaru is in this situation now is closely related to what the Third Hokage did. In this case, let him bear the consequences brought by Orochimaru, which is also what he should do as the Third Hokage.

At this moment, Asuma, who had been hiding from Uchiha Qiushan, stood up at this time, staring at Tsunade and Uchiha Qiushan beside her, and said:

“God Hokage, I have something I want to report to you.”

Hearing what Asuma Sarutobi said, Tsunade frowned slightly. Since being taught a lesson, Asuma has been quite honest. Even though Tsunade did not give him the Ino-Shika-Cho team that he wanted, he did not dare to raise any objections later.

But what Tsunade didn’t expect was that Asuma would stand up in this situation.

However, Tsunade was not a person who acted arbitrarily. Although she had a feeling that Asuma would not say anything good, she still nodded and said:

“Asuma, what do you want to talk about? Is it about those students you participated in the competition?”

When Asuma heard Tsunade mention his students, a hint of impatience immediately appeared on his face.

Because in Asuma’s mind, the students Tsunade assigned to him were all trash from poor backgrounds.

Not to mention the two civilian students who were extremely weak in both strength and intelligence, even Sakura, who usually had good test scores, was extremely weak in terms of strength.

Moreover, apart from the three body techniques taught in school, they didn’t even know a single ninjutsu.

This made Asuma feel only anger after being surprised.

You know, Asuma, as the youngest son of the Third Hokage, has never lacked resources since he was a child, not to mention ninjutsu, he can choose any of them with his eyes closed.

Now, he had only been out for a few years, and the Hokage had been replaced. Although Tsunade was the old man’s student, she didn’t take care of herself at all.

He didn’t even get the Ino-Shika-Cho team that he had his eyes on, and instead had to teach a few ignorant civilian ninjas.

So, when Asuma saw Kakashi and others recommending their students to take the Chunin Exam, he suddenly had an idea and recommended several of his own students who had extremely poor abilities as well.

Anyway, if these guys died in the Chunin Exam, he would be able to get rid of them legitimately and become the instructor of the next class of students.

Thinking of this, the corners of Asuma’s mouth rose slightly, and the anger in his heart dissipated a lot.

However, after hearing Tsunade’s question, Asuma came back to his senses, straightened his body slightly, and under Tsunade’s gaze, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and with a little complacency in his tone, he spoke:

“God Hokage, it seems that our Konoha Village forgot to invite the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to participate in this Chunin Exam.

So I personally went to Daming Mansion a few days ago and invited Daming to come over.”

At this point, Asuma Sarutobi proudly stretched out his hand and tugged at the scarf with the Fire Country emblem on it around his waist. This scarf was a symbol of his identity when he was one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas in the Daimyo Prefecture.

After adjusting (showing off) the scarf around her waist, Asuma looked even more proud, and subconsciously glanced at Yuhi Kurenai not far away, trying to see admiration from her expression.

But to his disappointment, at this moment, Kurenai Yuhi was not looking at him. Instead, she looked at Uchiha Qiushan on the other side with a gentle expression on her face.

This discovery made Asuma very unhappy, but he didn’t dare to offend Uchiha Qiushan and Yuhi Kurenai now, so he had to grit his teeth secretly and continued:

“Godaime-sama, I am fortunate that I once served as one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas in the Daimyo Prefecture.

So the Daimyo and I are pretty familiar with each other, and for my sake he didn’t blame us for forgetting to invite him to the Chunin Exams.

He has already made an appointment with me, saying that he will come to our Konoha Village to watch the final match in a while.”

Speaking of this, Asuma felt inexplicably guilty.

Because he knew very well that although he once served as one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas in the Daimyo Prefecture, the Daimyo did not think highly of them.

The reason why he was able to meet the daimyo this time was because he used his identity as the son of the Third Hokage to allow the daimyo to meet him.

In fact, when meeting the daimyo, Asuma was not sure whether he could invite the daimyo to Konoha Village to watch the Chunin Exam.

What he didn’t expect was that after hearing his invitation, the daimyo showed great interest. Not only did he praise him, he also said that he would definitely take time to go to Konoha Village to watch the game.

Thinking of this, Asuma’s face also showed a look of pride, and then he continued:

“Don’t worry, Godaime-sama. When the Daimyo comes to our Konoha Village, I will definitely entertain him well. I will not let the Daimyo be unhappy because he thinks that our Konoha Village neglected him and reduces the expenses of our Konoha Village.”

At this point, Asuma could no longer conceal the proud look on his face, because in his opinion, if it weren’t for him, our Konoha Village would have its expenses cut directly because of neglecting the Daimyo, and the entire Konoha Village should be grateful to him.
