Naruto: Starting With Three Tomoe Sharingan, Girlfriend Kushina

Kushina sat beside him, recounting how the Uchiha clan had fallen into infighting on the playground. Ryun listened with great interest, occasionally nodding in response to her.

"Hey, Minato, why do you keep sneaking glances at us? Do you have something to say?"

Kushina suddenly glared at Namikaze Minato.

This guy kept sneakily peeking at them, and whenever he was caught, he would immediately look away. This behavior annoyed Kushina greatly.

She had noticed it more than once or twice, and now she couldn't hold back her frustration any longer.

"!!!"

Ryun turned to look at the "loli" Minato behind them.

"I didn't... I wasn't..."

Minato's face turned red as he waved his hands in denial. He was so flustered that sweat poured down his forehead, not daring to admit he had been peeking.

"Don't lie! You dare look but not admit it?" Kushina stared at him with a hostile expression.

"I..."

Minato almost died of embarrassment on the spot. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the chunin instructor entered the classroom, drawing everyone's attention. Ryun also spoke up to defuse the situation.

"Minato sits behind us, so it's natural for him to see what's in front. It's unavoidable. You can't expect him to close his eyes during class..."

'Sniff... Ryun is so reasonable...'

Minato felt deeply moved, looking at Ryun with gratitude in his eyes.

Had Minato been peeking? Of course he had.

Not only had he been peeking, but he had also been eavesdropping on their conversation. If not for that, he wouldn't have been caught by Kushina or scolded...

After all, Minato wasn't the only one sitting behind them. The classmate behind Kushina didn't have such "weird habits"...

Kushina thought Ryun's words made some sense, but she didn't believe she had wronged Minato, so she couldn't help muttering under her breath.

"It's mainly because he keeps looking at people sideways... What a strange guy..."

"..."

In the end, she still shot Minato a warning glare.

"..."

Minato felt deeply wronged. Back when he used to look at her directly, she scolded him. Now that he looked at her sideways, she still scolded him...

He felt Kushina held too much of a grudge against him. It all started back when she first arrived at the academy, and Minato had laughed at her along with the other students. At the time, he couldn't help it... But ever since then, she had held it against him, never giving him a single friendly look... Instead, she always called him a "sissy"...

"Alright, students, settle down. Class is starting!"

When the first class ended, Ryun was about to stand up and go outside with Kushina for some fresh air when several Uchiha students approached him.

"Ryun, we heard about what happened between you and Kazuyo, as well as how Yuta and the others cornered you last time... Those bastards brought it on themselves. We support you!"

"Yeah, we support you!"

"Ryun, you're amazing! You actually beat En and Yuta all by yourself..."

Uchiha Seimaru spoke first, and the other Uchiha clan members also expressed their goodwill toward him.

Ryun's expression was slightly surprised. His bright eyes swept over the group of Uchiha, but he remained silent the whole time, maintaining his composure.

These were the same people who used to call him "little half-breed." Today, they had finally changed their tone...

Just as the atmosphere in the room grew tense, Ryun gave a gentle smile and spoke softly.

"Thank you all for your support!"

"But as you all know, my strength alone wasn't enough to defeat them. I'm not that capable... It was all thanks to Kushina helping me that we barely managed to drive them away."

Ryun lied without hesitation, still choosing to keep a low profile.

"..."

Kushina stared at him blankly. This guy was already so strong, yet he insisted on acting like a "sneaky old fox"...

Now was the perfect time to make a name for himself! Wouldn't it be better to spread his reputation? That way, no one would dare bully him or call him "little half-breed" anymore!

In Kushina's eyes, Ryun was like a bizarre anomaly within the Uchiha clan, his personality almost completely opposite to the others.

"So that's how it was!"

Uchiha Seimaru nodded subconsciously.

He had a rough idea of Ryun's strength. There might be some margin of error, but he didn't believe Ryun could take on eight people alone. The idea itself was absurd.

But now that Ryun had explained it, everything made sense.

If the "Red Hot-Blooded Habanero" had stepped in to help him, it was perfectly reasonable that they had managed to drive off Uchiha En and the others.

The group chatted and laughed for a while. They didn't turn cold or leave even after learning the "truth." Even if Ryun's strength had been "exaggerated," it couldn't be too far from reality.

As for why Uchiha Yuta and the others had "exaggerated" their story, claiming they had been beaten up by Ryun...

In Uchiha Seimaru's opinion, they were probably just trying to preserve the Uchiha clan's "dignity." After all, losing to Kushina, an outsider—and a girl at that—would be utterly humiliating.

In that case, it was better to just say they lost to the "little half-breed"...

The Uchiha students stayed by Ryun's side, criticizing the other group of Uchiha. Ryun kept smiling and didn't say much, only occasionally nodding in response.

It wasn't until the bell rang that the group finally said their goodbyes and left.

"You... Why did you lie? It was you who beat those Uchiha, yet you said... it was all thanks to me that we barely won..."

Kushina muttered under her breath. This guy could spin tales without batting an eye.

"How is that a lie? Did you or did you not help me?" Ryun grinned at her.

"Well, I did, but..." Kushina was momentarily speechless.

"Then that's that, right?"

"All thanks to Nana cheering me on and sharing the pressure. Otherwise, your big brother might've been beaten to death..." Ryun leaned close to her ear and whispered softly.

A faint warm breath brushed against her fair neck, making her heart race and her breathing quicken...

"!!!"

These teasing words turned Kushina's entire face into a giant tomato.

Behind them, Minato, who had nothing better to do, watched this scene in stunned silence, burning with curiosity.

'What exactly did Ryun say to Kushina to make her instantly turn into a "docile ostrich," not daring to move, and blushing so hard...?'

Minato desperately wanted to know what secret words they had exchanged.

Thinking this, Minato suddenly shuddered, startled by his own thoughts.

'What does it matter to me? I already decided not to peek or eavesdrop... What's wrong with me... Do I really have some kind of weird fetish???'

Minato fell into deep self-doubt. He hadn't been like this before...

Lately, his condition had been a bit off. He couldn't concentrate in class and kept unconsciously paying attention to the two people in front of him.
