Chapter 361 Honglian VS Asuma, crushing in all aspects!
"You're taking it too far?"

Asuma finally stood up.

The warriors who had just been killed were familiar to him, and coupled with Honglian's 'arrogant' appearance, how could he tolerate it.

He endured in front of Dou Ping because he knew that not only himself, the second-generation Kage, but even the village leaders could be confronted at will, and if they were really angered, they would do anything.

But if it was Honglian, a girl of the same age, he couldn't tolerate it.

"Oh, what have I done wrong?"

Honglian was secretly happy when she saw Asi jumping out, but she remained calm on the surface.

Although she is usually reckless and loud, it is just a superficial phenomenon. In fact, she is delicate and cautious, similar to Koji Yamama.

So she knew that the biggest difficulty of her mission was not to let Asuma see that she was targeting him intentionally.

"They just want to inquire about the situation. Just tell them directly. There is no need to kill them, right?"

Asuma tried to suppress the anger in his heart and argued.

As the second generation Kage, he was very arrogant in Konoha and had never suffered such humiliation.

If this wasn't the castle tower but Kyoto or Konoha, he would have lost his temper a long time ago. How could he be so "reasonable"?

(Asuma had a bad temper when he was a child, don’t judge his future character by that!)
"Sorry, that's just the way we do things!"

Honglian looked nonchalant and didn't take Asuma's words to heart at all.

"you…"

Asuma's temper is unbearable.

If it were a few Kage-level warriors, he might have to be cautious, but how could he be afraid of Honglian, a girl he had never heard of?

Well, Honglian has only been in the industry for a short time, and she is usually busy completing missions. The information about the local conflict in the Wind Country was blocked, so naturally Konoha didn't know her information.

So it's not surprising that Asuma doesn't know her background.

"Why, you're not convinced?" Honglian said loudly, "I'll give you a chance. If you can beat me, I'll personally send you away. Otherwise, get out of the castle tower!"

Her arrogance can only be described in one sentence.

No acting, just emotion!
Maybe I had the same attitude when I was the boss at Qidian Orphanage.

She knew Tang Ping very well and naturally knew how unhappy he was with Asma, but because of her status, it was difficult for her to take action. This time she had the opportunity to take action, so naturally she would make a big deal out of it.

All the high-ranking officials of the castle tower were not there, and she, the captain, was the only one from the security department, which gave her an environment where she could perform freely.

What does it mean to be the new generation leader of the castle tower? (Tactical retreat!)
"it is good!"

Asuma's eyes turned red.

He is not fighting for the bread, but for his reputation. If he does not fight back after being bullied by others, he will not be called Asma anymore.

The members of the surrounding joint mission had been holding back their anger for a long time, but they had to endure it because no one stood up. Now that they saw Asma standing up, they all cheered him on loudly.

"Good job, keep it up!"

"Show the castle tower some color!"

"That's right, let them know we are not to be trifled with!"

"Let these untouchables know that the dignity of the nobility cannot be insulted!"

...

Among so many people, naturally there are some "idiots" who make dangerous remarks.

Because they serve the nobles, they also consider themselves as aristocrats and naturally look down on other classes.

However, their words aroused dissatisfaction among the people who came to watch the fun in the castle tower.

At this time, they already knew that the joint delegation was driven away overnight because of the "assassination" of Tang Ping. Now that they heard the other party dare to say this, they naturally shouted back.

"Go to hell!"

"Don't let them go!"

"Catch them all!"

...

Most of the people in the castle tower are refugees. After experiencing a hellish life, they feel a strong sense of belonging after coming to the safe and prosperous castle tower, so their reaction is so strong.

"bring it on!"

Honglian first signaled the surrounding security guards to clear the area, and at the same time made a provocative gesture towards Asuma. (This was not a formal competition, so there was no procedure such as the seal of opposition)

Her every move is nothing like a ninja, but rather like a little gangster.

Right!
Asuma was a bad boy when he was young, and he joined the Guardian Ninja because of his rebellion. Now when he sees Honglian like this, he always feels a sense of familiarity.

"Konoha Tornado!"

Asuma first used a Konoha taijutsu.

There are many people who know this kind of physical technique, but the effects vary from person to person.

Asuma is a dual-cultivation ninja/physical type. Although his physical skills are far inferior to Akai's, he is definitely not weak.

Facing his attack, Honglian faced him head-on without giving in.

Hoo, ho!

Avoid the attack and then counterattack directly.

Her physical skills are not weak either. After all, her teacher is Hinata Cangyue, a super strong physical skill master.

Especially with the "cheat" existence of Dohei, who told her some ideas, she also developed a lot of powerful physical skills.

After just a dozen rounds, Asuma Sarutobi felt something was not right.

Because of the physical skills competition, he found himself at a disadvantage.

So, he prepared to use ninjutsu.

Whoosh!
Asuma seized the opportunity and did a backflip to create distance, while forming seals with his hands in the air.

"Fire Style. Ash Burning!"

Directly spew out a stream of high-temperature ash.

The ash not only carries high temperature, but also has the effect of blocking vision, not to mention that it can explode afterwards, which is also considered Asuma's signature ninjutsu.

As a jonin, even though his talent is far inferior to the monstrous Kakashi, it is not surprising that he developed an exclusive secret technique given his strong family background.

"Crystal Escape: Crystal Wall!"

Honglian naturally would not use his body to resist, and directly activated his bloodline limit.

"Is it a bloodline limit?"

Asuma realized this instantly.

However, even though he knew that his opponent was a bloodline ninja, he was not afraid at all. He was confident that he would be the winner in the end.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Honglian was much stronger than him in every aspect.

Talent, hard work, resources... etc. are far above him.

Yes, as the second generation of Kage, Asuma must have amazing resources, and he definitely has a lot of secret medicines and various resources.

But Honglian enjoys more resources than him, and some unique resources are good things that Konoha does not have.

For example, Konoha would never have something like the 'Power of Nature' potion.

This thing is definitely stronger than any secret medicine and it is an all-round improvement to the body.

Apart from the fact that Asuma cannot compare with him in terms of talent, everyone knows the value of Orochimaru's certification. In any case, it is not a problem for him to crush Asuma by a wide margin.

Not to mention working hard!

Asuma is not a 'hard-working' character, her main focus is on being a rebel, which completely lowers her level compared to someone like Honglian who spends most of her time training.

Not only do they have more talent and resources than you, they are also much more hardworking than you, and the age gap is not that big, so who else can they beat if not you?

Asuma realized this anyway.

First he was no match for his opponent in terms of physical skills, and then after the ninjutsu battle began, he was even less of a match for his bloodline limit's crystal escape technique.

Bah!
Honglian kicked Asuma hard, turning his face into a "world famous painting (Pain's distorted version.JPG!)".

"Xia Ji Ba Da!"

Then came a series of physical skills attacks under the guidance of Dohei.

When attacking, it continuously pierces pieces of crystal into the target's body, hindering the opponent's movement while also affecting the flow of the opponent's chakra.

It seemed that once she attacked, the opponent would be like a meat target and would not fight back.

In fact, it is impossible to fight back.

The crystal escape in the target's body will not only affect the movements, but also the chakra. You will be too busy to deal with this, so how can you have the energy to fight back?

The continuous attacks overwhelmed Asuma like a violent storm.

After the fight, Honglian stopped and jumped.

Snapped!
He snapped his right fingers lightly.

Tear!

Crystal flowers exploded on Asuma's body a few meters away.

When those crystals exploded, it was like dozens of flowers blooming on the target's body. The crystal petals combined with the bright red blood looked enchanting and gorgeous.

"Son of the Hokage, that's it?"

Honglian's words caused Asuma, who was covered in blood but did not fall down, to collapse.

It’s heartbreaking to kill someone!

This was Asuma's last thought before he fainted.

"Asuma!"

Di Lu, who had just bandaged his wound, rushed down from the carriage and hugged Asuma who had fallen to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Honglian said expressionlessly:
"Drive them out of the castle tower!"

At this moment, she was actually somewhat similar to Uchiha Mei.

"Yes!"

The ninjas from the Security Department responded in unison, and then began to drive the joint delegation away like a herd of ducks.

This time, no one in the joint mission dared to attack, so they could only leave obediently.
