Chapter 174 - 172: Konoha Twelve Gathering
Asuma had a cigarette between his lips as he turned to Kakashi and said,
"Kakashi, I heard your team pulled off something crazy this time, a A-rank mission."
"And for a new squad to complete it? That's pretty damn impressive. You really live up to your name, Copy Ninja."
Kakashi rubbed the back of his head, looking a little sheepish. "Honestly, I didn't do much this time."
"You all know how strong Makoto is, but trust me, he's on a whole different level."
"Makoto wiped the floor with Zabuza, from the Hidden Mist and even got through to the guy. Now he's thinking about moving to our village. Talk about unexpected."
Asuma and Kurenai exchanged glances, nodding in amazement. "Yeah, we heard about that. That's insane!"
While the three were chatting, the younger generation had gathered at a large table nearby.
Kakashi's Team 7 was there, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Makoto. Sitting with them were Asuma's Team 10, Choji, Ino, and Shikamaru.
Then there was Kurenai's Team 8, Hinata, Kiba, and Shino.
Makoto glanced around the table.
