Naruto: Dual System Power At The Beginning

"Kurenai, during these past few months, I have been serving as the guardian ninja for the Daimyo at the Daimyo's mansion. I've matured a lot and won't act recklessly like before. Will you accept me?"

Kurenai looked at him; indeed, his temperament had improved quite a bit.

But she couldn't accept his request because her heart already belonged to another man.

Although saying this now might be hard for him to accept, it was something she had to say.

She looked at Asuma, made up her mind, and slowly said, "Asuma, you're actually a good person. There are many other good women you could pursue. There's no need to waste your time on me."

Asuma hurriedly shook his head.

"No matter how good other women are, in my eyes, they can't compare to you, Kurenai. I don't need or want to pursue anyone else. I feel the strongest for you."

Kurenai felt a bit helpless. He had feelings for her, but she didn't feel the same way about him. She could only helplessly say,

"Actually, I already have a boyfriend. I hope you can find someone else you like. There's no need to waste your time on me."

Asuma's smile froze upon hearing this, his face full of disbelief.

"Impossible. I've only been gone for a few months. How could you have a boyfriend already? Kurenai, are you joking with me?"

"There's no need to joke like this. If you don't want to accept me now, you can wait until I become better and then accept me."

Kurenai knew it would be hard for him to accept, but some things had to be made clear. Otherwise, he would keep clinging to her, causing trouble for Ryosuke.

"I'm not lying to you. I already have another boyfriend."

Asuma's eyes widened, and he asked worriedly, "You haven't... done anything with him, right?"

As long as nothing had happened, it was just a fake relationship, and he would still have a chance.

Kurenai was speechless. How could he ask her such a private question? But she decided to tell him the truth.

"We've already been intimate. I hope you won't waste your time on me anymore."

She and Ryosuke had been intimate countless times, and she was already carrying his child.

Asuma instantly erupted in anger, losing all previous composure.

"Kurenai. Tell me who it is, and I'll kill him."

Someone dared to touch his woman? He was so furious he almost lost his mind. His cabbage had been stolen by another pig.

Hearing this, Kurenai felt a bit angry. She had feared this would happen.

"Sarutobi Asuma, I won't allow you to harm him. If you do, I'll never forgive you."

She was already carrying Ryosuke's child. Not just for Ryosuke, but also for the happiness of their child, she wouldn't allow anyone to harm him.

To Asuma, Kurenai's reaction only made him angrier.

"You're still defending him? You must have been tricked by him. Who's the scumbag who deceived you?"

Kurenai strongly disagreed with his words. How could it be deception? She had been genuinely attracted to him.

Moreover, ever since she learned that her father had died due to the Third Hokage's inaction, there was no way she could like Asuma.

"That's all I have to say. I hope you won't bother me again." With that, she turned and went back inside her house.

Asuma was furious, unable to calm down. 'Damn it.'

Kurenai could only belong to him. If she wouldn't tell him, did she think he couldn't find out? He would tear that bastard who stole his woman to pieces.

Elsewhere, Uchiha Ryosuke was eating ramen at Ichiraku Ramen.

He planned to train and improve his attributes after finishing his meal. Although he had slacked off a bit today, he was in a great mood.

After months of hard training, he deserved a break.

Walking around the village, he felt much less hostility than when he first returned.

This must have been due to the news spread by Uchiha Fugaku, which had changed some villagers' views on the Uchiha clan.

Not everyone in the village was spineless; some had a conscience, even though a portion still defamed the Uchiha.

These gossipy fools weren't worth the Uchiha clan's protection. Selfish and cowardly people.

He wouldn't let them ruin his enjoyment of ramen.

After several large bowls, he paid and left Ichiraku Ramen, intending to stroll before heading back to his usual training spot in the woods.

Meanwhile, far behind him, Asuma appeared on the street.

He had already thoroughly investigated who Kurenai had been with recently, and the results pointed to Uchiha Ryosuke.

Some even reported seeing them enter an inn together multiple times. Furious, Asuma's eyes burned with anger.

This despicable guy must have deceived Kurenai. He was the one who had blocked his confession to Kurenai. This scumbag had taken advantage of the situation to trick her. He had to kill him. Asuma drew two chakra blades from his ninja pouch.

Channeling chakra into them, the blue glow of the blades showed how sharp they were.

Using the Body Flicker Technique, he instantly appeaKurenai behind Uchiha Ryosuke, slashing at him to end it in one blow.

But Ryosuke had already sensed the killing intent and sidestepped, dodging the attack.

He countered with a kick to Asuma's side, sending him flying into a roadside stall, smashing it to pieces.

The shop owner fled in panic, avoiding the chaos.

Ryosuke finally saw clearly—his attacker was Sarutobi Asuma.

'So, this guy had returned?' A playful smile appeared on his lips. Did he know about him and Kurenai?

The nearby pedestrians were horrified, keeping their distance.

Asuma struggled to his feet, stunned that his attack had been dodged and that he'd been kicked away.

He cursed himself for letting anger cloud his judgment, exposing his killing intent and giving Ryosuke an opening. His face twisted with rage.

"Uchiha Ryosuke, I won't let you off!" Leaving those harsh words, he charged again with his chakra blades.

Ryosuke saw Asuma's reckless state and realized he'd lost all reason, unaware of the gap between their abilities.

Asuma had once beaten him, so Ryosuke was ready to settle the score.

He activated his Sharingan, prepared to teach Asuma a lesson and stop him from bothering Kurenai.

Since Asuma had acted this way, he must have visited Kurenai.

With his Sharingan, Ryosuke saw through all of Asuma's movements. As Asuma attacked furiously with his blades, Ryosuke dodged and found an opening to kick him again.

This time, he used more force, knocking Asuma down, causing him to bleed from the mouth, possibly injuring his organs. His weapons fell to the ground.

Ryosuke looked at the defeated Asuma—too weak.

He hadn't even tried hard and had overpowered him with taijutsu alone.

Asuma's anger cooled. How had the trash he once beat become so strong in such a short time?

Noticing the surrounding stares and whispers, he felt humiliated.

"Asuma just returned and is already attacking people in the street."
