Asuma loved and respected Shikamaru, acknowledging him as his equal, and would often ask Shikamaru if he knew who "The King" is. It was Asuma who first discovered that the lazy Shikamaru was actually a genius, with an I.Q. Out of his students, Asuma spent the most time with, and was closest to Shikamaru.Īsuma, and Shikamaru often played Shōgi in their free time, though Asuma was never able to beat Shikamaru. This was seen most with Chōji, who Asuma was frequently able to entice into action with the promise of food, and even Shikamaru whom he had to use games like Shōgi on to assess his skill level. To help them overcome their underachieving natures, he attempted to use bribery, and outright trickery to manipulate them into doing what he wanted. He often took them to Yakiniku Q for lunch, and dinner where, more often than not, Chōji would eat too much, and Asuma had to pay more, and then apologize emphatically to the owner. Despite Asuma's very blunt personality, often calling his students what they were unreservedly, a "glutton" to Chōji, a "loud mouth" to Ino, and a "slacker" to Shikamaru, he had a very good relationship with all three. Not always seeing eye to eye with his father, Asuma later came to respect his father's role as Hokage, referring to him as a great father, and was proud to have been born into the Sarutobi clan. He was a heavy smoker, but he would abruptly break the habit under certain circumstances, such as when his father died or when he learned that Kurenai was pregnant. Asuma was typically a laid-back individual, and did not get himself involved in things unless absolutely necessary, as seen when he decided not to help save Hinata during her fight in the Chūnin Exams against her cousin Neji. About twelve years after Kurama's Attack, seeing his classmate fall into deeper self-pity from losing Obito and Rin, Asuma, along with Might Guy, and Kurenai decided to speak with the Third Hokage, voicing their disapproval of Kakashi being in the Anbu with such bitterness, and then went on to suggest instead that he be re-assigned as a Jōnin Sensei in the hopes of restoring Kakashi's kindness. ![]() ![]() After returning to the village, Asuma resumed his Jōnin duties, and became a teacher of Inomatsu, and presumably some more students. Prior to returning to Konoha to resume active military duty, he accumulated a bounty of 35 million ryō on the black market, something he seemed to be proud of since it was a testament of his skill, even bragging that his bounty was 5 million more than Chiriku when he confronted Hidan, and Kakuzu of the Akatsuki. During this time he developed a strong friendship with the monk Chiriku, who would go on to become the head monk of the Fire Temple. During his absence, he became one of the Guardian Shinobi Twelve, a group of Elite Jōnin Class Ninja that protected the Land of Fire's Feudal Lord, indicated by the sash on his waist. After his promotion to Jōnin, he had a disagreement with his father, and left Konoha to pursue his personal interests. He later became a Chūnin, and then a Jōnin. A few years after the event, Asuma would become the uncle of Konohamaru which indicated that Asuma has a brother, though he was never revealed that I know of. ![]() During Kurama's Attack on the village, Asuma along with the other young ninja were prohibited from participating in the defence of the village by Shinku Yūhi, and the other senior Jōnin. He later cheered on his classmates during the third round of the Chūnin Exams. During the Chūnin Exams, Asuma was placed on a team with Kurenai, and Raidō Namiashi. During his Academy entrance ceremony, Asuma became friends with Kurenai Yūhi.
