Chapter 144: Clueless Asuma
Corridor of the 2nd floor.
Quite a few Genins had already gathered here.
Two ninjas blocked the doorway, preventing these Genins from entering.
A person in front who quarreled with them was beaten to the ground in two or three seconds.
When Ryosuke and Tenten arrived, they happened to see this scene.
"Neji, do you think we should pretend we're weak first?"
Rock Lee suddenly asked Neji next to him.
"Boring, you can do whatever you want." Neji said flatly.
Obviously he had no interest in this kind of thing, but if Rock Lee wanted to play by himself, then he could play by himself.
Anyway, he wouldn't pretend to be weak.
"Forget it! Neji was the chief student of the previous term so they might care about him. But if you pretend, they won't care." Ryosuke reminded.
"Yes!"
Rock Lee suddenly realized.
"Then stop pretending, I'll go fight with them to see who is better!"
Rock Lee rolled up his sleeves and planned to fight.
As a result, he was stopped by Neji.
"Don't mess around, it's not the first exam room, it's just a genjutsu." Neji said.
"Ah?"
Rock Lee didn't see any genjutsu at all.
He was only good at taijutsu, and his perception of genjutsu was quite bad.
"Let me do it."
Ryosuke walked over, and then easily broke through the genjutsu that was quite clumsy in his eyes.
At this moment!
The entrance of the original examination room suddenly became an upper staircase.
"What! Was that a genjutsy?"
"Oh my god! I just didn't notice it at all!"
"Damn! These two guys actually used genjutsu to trick us!"
"Who is that person? He is the one who lifted the genjutsu."
"I know him. He is the chief student who graduated this year, Yagami Ryosuke. He is a genius among the common people."
"Yagami Ryosuke? He looks really strong!"
"Tsk~! It's nothing special, he's just a civilian."
"Hey! What do you mean? You are looking down on civilians?"
The group of people in front started arguing as they talked, and they gathered together, rolling up their sleeves and preparing for a fight.
And at this time, Ryosuke had already walked directly towards the building.
On the third floor, at the entrance of the examination room.
Ryosuke met Kakashi who was waiting for someone here.
"Sister Kurenai!"
Ryosuke greeted Kurenai with a smile.
"It's Ryosuke, please do your best!"
Kurenai smiled and wanted to touch Ryosuke's head, but Ryosuke dodged it.
"Sister Kurenai, I'm not a child anymore, don't touch my head all the time." Ryosuke said helplessly.
"Then I'll give you a cheering hug."
Kurenai smiled, and then embraced Ryosuke with open arms.
Asuma looked at thus scene with bitterness.
He was very upset.
"If it's Ryosuke, there'll be no problem passing the Chūnin exam."
After Kurenai hugged Ryosuke, she let him go, and she had full confidence in Ryosuke.
After all, they Jōnins had already heard the news that Ryosuke had defeated an Elite Jōnin, and also knew that he had learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, which was the fourth Hokage's special ninjutsu.
With such strength, passing the Chūnin exam is of course very easy.
On the other side, Neji and the others, who were accepting Guy's instructions, also turned their heads to look at Ryosuke.
"Even a Jōnin thinks so highly about him? Humph! I won't admit defeat!"
Neji's eyes flashed with a strong fighting spirit.
He knew that Ryosuke was very powerful. After all, being able to join Anbu as a Genin was enough to explain everything.
But he Neji was not weak either.
Neji, who had learned Revolving Heaven by himself, was quite confident in his own strength.
After Guy told his three students a few words, he let them in.
But Ryosuke did not enter the examination room in a hurry, but stayed here chatting with Kurenai.
This made Asuma on the side even more upset.
Especially the physical contact between the two from time to time made Asuma really unable to treat Ryosuke simply as a child.
He always felt that this guy would be the biggest obstacle in his pursuit of Kurenai.
On the side, Kakashi, who had been concentrating on reading and learning "knowledge", also glanced at Asuma next to him.
After noticing Asuma's expression, Kakashi shook his head secretly.
'Asuma probably doesn't even know how he lost?' Kakashi thought to himself.
Coincidentally, he had just read a chapter in the past two days in which two men pursued the same woman.
The description of a supporting actor above was a bit similar to Asuma.
"A man must pay attention to the management of his own image, and he must also understand the woman's preferences, so as to win the other party's favor."
Kakashi glanced at this passage in the book, and felt that it made sense.
Asuma doesn't pay much attention to his own image .
And even Kakashi had noticed that Kurenai didn't like men who smoke, and Asuma couldn't leave his cigarette.
That's it...
How can he still pursue her?
If there was no competitor, maybe there would still be a little chance.
But looking at Ryosuke who was leaning on Kurenai and teasing her, Kakashi knew that Asuma had no chance at all.
"However, Ryosuke is really capable!"
"It feels like he understands women better than the protagonist in the book."
"Should I ask him for advice?"
Kakashi murmured in his heart, but after careful consideration, he gave up the idea.
"Forget it, it's good to read books, women and so on are actually quite troublesome."
Kakashi eventually gave up.
In essence, he was resisting contact with the opposite sex.
Otherwise, by just relyimg on his appearance and ability, he would easily be able to say goodbye to being single.
