Is Inoyue seriously injured?
Probably, after all, she was almost suffocated. But as long as she didn't die, in this situation, there generally wouldn't be any major issues.
After a good night's sleep, she slowly opened her eyes. No, she was about to open her eyes when she heard a commotion.
The argument was generally between two people: one was Uchiha Obito, and the other was Kakashi Hatake, who could shut Obito up with a single sentence. However, it seemed that Obito did most of the talking, with Kakashi occasionally stimulating him with a pointed remark.
The content of the argument was roughly that all three wanted to see Inoyue's true appearance, as the scene of Inoyue's great battle with the Sand Jonin-level figure was still fresh in their memories.
But as they watched, it changed. Obito subtly mocked Kakashi for being almost a Jonin yet not as powerful as Inoyue, pointing out that an eight-year-old loli was the true genius.
Kakashi held back for a long time, then said, "No matter how bad I am, I'm still stronger than you, the self-proclaimed super genius of the Uchiha."
Obito was like a short-fused bomb; Kakashi pulled the pin, and he exploded, while Rin Nohara sat beside Inoyue, laughing.
"Aren't those two very cute?" Rin Nohara asked softly.
The observant Rin Nohara had already noticed that Inoyue had woken up, which prompted her question.
"Ah, haha!" Inoyue was helpless. Since she had been exposed, she couldn't pretend any longer, so she sat up and gave Rin Nohara a vague answer. After all, the two were arguing because of her, and if she suddenly woke up, it would indeed feel a bit awkward.
As soon as Inoyue woke up, those two immediately stopped interacting. Obito turned his head away, ignoring Kakashi. And Kakashi simply said, "It's good that you're awake!" then left, looking incredibly cool.
"Hmph! I'll definitely surpass that white-haired guy, and you too, of course." Once Kakashi left, Obito saw that Inoyue was awake and seemed to find no point in staying. He inexplicably said that, then turned and left.
Inoyue had a string of black lines on her forehead. What were those two doing? Were they here to see her? They didn't bring anything, and as soon as she, the main character, woke up, they both coolly dropped a sentence and then just left.
Is this how you visit someone? Inoyue gave those two tsundere boys a zero in her heart.
"Both of those boys are a bit bad at expressing their feelings, but they really care about you, which is why they came to see you." As soon as the two big men left, Rin Nohara, who was beside her, immediately chuckled and quickly explained for them.
"Ah... oh." Inoyue replied vaguely, thinking to herself, among these three, it seems Rin Nohara is the most mature.
...
The two little girls naturally talked about everything, from the sunny and charismatic Minato-sensei and his wife, Uzumaki Kushina, the culinary killer, down to the two tsundere boys, Kakashi and Obito.
Girls' worlds are always full of gossip, especially for two precocious girls.
"Oh, by the way, that Uchiha Suien seems to care about you a lot." The gossipy Rin Nohara suddenly changed the subject.
"Uchiha Suien, I haven't seen him in a long time. Cares about me? I haven't noticed." Inoyue recalled for a moment before answering.
"A long time? This time, he was the first to find Minato-sensei, and he even broke into Jiraiya-sama's tent." Rin Nohara blinked, continuing to ask with a look of disbelief.
"Broke into the tent? Why? Did that guy get into trouble?" Inoyue asked three questions in a row, not quite understanding what Rin Nohara meant.
Rin Nohara gave Inoyue a big Byakugan, meaning was quite clear: your reaction is too slow, isn't it?
The gossipy Rin Nohara told Inoyue the whole story from beginning to end.
"I didn't expect that guy to break into the tent to save me. I owe him a big favor." Inoyue sat on the bed, muttering to herself.
"Is it just a favor?" Rin Nohara's gossip fire burned fiercely, her eyes fixed on Inoyue with an unclear meaning, making Inoyue shiver.
"Sister, what are you doing? I'm only eight years old, what are you thinking?" Looking at Rin Nohara's eyes, she knew this girl's thoughts were too precocious. Her ideas were definitely problematic. By the way, how old are you? Around eleven, right?
"What am I thinking? I didn't say anything, you're the one who's thinking too much, aren't you?"
Rin Nohara's answer was very profound, and Inoyue instantly felt tears welling up inside. She was actually tricked by an eleven-year-old girl. Oh my god! In the Konoha world, never talk about age. Can an eleven-year-old girl say something like that?
"Hey, hey, tell me honestly, Minato-sensei and Uchiha Suien, if you had to choose one, who would you choose?" Rin Nohara suddenly whispered into Inoyue's ear, as if she was saying something very secret.
Rin Nohara, who at eleven years old was already tricking Inoyue, dropped a bombshell that shocked people without paying the price.
This bomb made her mind buzz, causing Inoyue to stare at her. At this moment, Inoyue had a very bold guess: "Could this Rin Nohara be a transmigrator like herself?"
"Beckham and Maradona are in love!"
Inoyue suddenly blurted out a sentence. This sentence was definitely a deep-sea bomb. If this person was a transmigrator, they would definitely be stunned.
While speaking, Inoyue stared at Rin Nohara, not missing any subtle reactions.
"What are you talking about?" Rin Nohara frowned, completely unable to understand. Then she leaned in: "Don't try to change the subject. If you have to choose one, who would you choose?"
Rin Nohara's state fully confirmed that Inoyue was overthinking. Where would there be so many transmigrators? Having one herself was already a blessing.
Although she thought this way, being pressed by the gossipy Rin Nohara, she really didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing that Inoyue hadn't answered for so long, Rin Nohara suddenly exclaimed, "You wouldn't want both, would you? It's not good for a girl to be indecisive."
This statement made sweat drop from Inoyue's forehead, and she screamed inwardly: "What's wrong with this girl? Choosing both, it's amazing she could even think of that outcome."
...
The gossipy Rin Nohara continued to press, as if she wouldn't stop until Inoyue answered the question.
"If I really had to choose, Minato-sensei should be quite good!" Inoyue was truly cornered and had no choice but to give a perfunctory answer.
"Ah, ha, if I were Suien, I'd be sad. But sensei already has a wife, so you can't be with him." Rin Nohara feigned sadness, covering her chest with her right hand, pretending to be heartbroken.
"That Suien is pretty good, you know. He's only eight years old and already has a Three Tomoe Sharingan. He's a super genius of the Uchiha, and his age matches yours quite well. Why not?" Rin Nohara, who had just been heartbroken, immediately reignited her gossip fire, pressing Inoyue for the reason.
"Hey, hey! Good sister, you wouldn't have fallen for him, would you? How about I, your little sister, introduce you?" Inoyue finally won a round, using the topic to tease. She no longer treated Rin Nohara as just a little girl; the other party was very mature.
"Come on, I already have someone!" Rin Nohara chuckled.
"You have someone? How many months? Who's the father?" Inoyue feigned surprise, then added a random jab.
This jab seemed a bit heavy. Rin Nohara paused for a moment before reacting, then giggled and pinned Inoyue down, tickling her hard. Inoyue was in a separate tent, so the two girls completely went wild playing on the sickbed.
...
Outside the tent, Konoha Eight Colors' Yuhi Kurenai stood at the door, her forehead covered in black lines.
Yuhi Kurenai hadn't intentionally come to eavesdrop. She had originally come to find her disciple, Inoyue. Her master hadn't even met her disciple yet, always too busy with missions, only now finding some time.
However, it seemed she had come at the wrong time. As soon as she arrived, she overheard them.
Two girls, one eleven and one eight, but their conversation was severely inconsistent with their ages. Hearing it made her, their master, break into a sweat, and she couldn't help but think how precocious girls are these days.
"Perhaps I shouldn't go in yet!" Yuhi Kurenai sighed awkwardly, then turned and left.
