The meeting dissolved and Fumihiko followed his mistress. He had something to discuss with Asami, but such was easier said than done because he had lost sight of her. Asami exhibited the annoying habit of disappearing into thin air. Her steps were light, her stature quite short for her age, which made her easy to overlook.

Fumihiko peaked around the corner, with success. There she was. He finally found her. He picked up the pace and continued his pursuit, quickly reaching her. “Asami, wait a moment.”i halted. “Oh, Fumihiko~, do you need anything?”

Fumihiko nodded. “Yes, I want to talk with you. Well, you see, you put me in charge of the right flank, and ...” He scratched his head.

“Who knows. Most likely not, but who cares. What Konoha doesn't see, Konoha doesn't know.” Asami stroked her chin. “But I wonder which promotion are you even talking about, Fumihiko? I don’t remember any.”

Fumihiko, the fresh jonin, blinked, bewildered. “I am talking about my promotion ...”

“Your promotion? Congratulations, Fumihiko, I didn’t know you become a jonin. When did that happen?” Asami beamed.

“...” Realisation finally dawned on Fumihiko.

Asami pinched his cheeks. “It seems that we understand now. And don’t worry about the promotion, I have met enough jonin with dubious qualifications that have attained their rank under much more questionable circumstances.”

Fumihiko, however, was confronted with more pressing issues. “Aasaammi, coouullssshhhdd you plleaashhhhhe stop pinnncching mmme. It hurrttshhhh.”
