Naruto: Starting With Three Tomoe Sharingan, Girlfriend Kushina

"Where are you going? Why don't you invite Kushina over for lunch at noon? Mom really likes her..."

Asuka Uchiha secretly glanced at the bushes, then quietly blocked the other escape route.

Hearing Asuka's thoughtful words, Kushina, who was hiding in the shadows, felt a surge of joy in her heart, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

'Auntie... is so nice to me...'

"Invite Kushina over for lunch? I'm not going..." Ryun Uchiha refused outright.

Hearing this, Kushina's smile froze, and her delicate eyebrows involuntarily twitched.

"You child, why are you refusing like this? Do you not like her anymore?"

Asuka picked her nose casually as she asked.

Hearing such a sensitive question, Kushina's ears twitched slightly, and her heart instantly became extremely tense.

"That's not it... It's just... just..."

Ryun hesitated, leaving someone scratching their head in frustration.

"Just what?" Asuka pressed.

"Just that I don't dare to go... I made Kushina angry yesterday..."

Hearing this, Kushina in the bushes felt quite smug: 'Hmph... Now you're scared, huh?'

But before she could revel in her triumph for long, Ryun's next words made her panic.

"Kushina said she would kill me. She means what she says, and she definitely won't let me off easy..."

Ryun pretended to be distressed, even acting as if he were on the verge of a breakdown, crouching on the ground with his hands clutching his head.

Since the distance between them was so close, Kushina was instantly frightened, her face turning pale, and sweat soaking her back.

Fortunately, Ryun was too busy agonizing over his troubles to look around, so he didn't notice her. This allowed her slightly tense heart to relax a little.

But just as she let her guard down, a loud scolding startled her.

"Nonsense! Kushina is such a well-behaved, sensible, and adorable girl. How could she possibly kill anyone? You brat, how dare you slander her like this..."

It was clear that Asuka was genuinely angry!

'Wuwuwu, so in Auntie Asuka's heart, I'm this outstanding...'

Kushina covered her mouth, nearly moved to tears.

"I'm not slandering her... Ever since I woke up this morning, my eyelid has been twitching nonstop, and I have this terrible premonition of disaster."

"I think Kushina might be planning to assassinate me. At the very least, she'll hide and ambush me, then beat me up badly..."

These words nearly scared Kushina's soul out of her body!

"Stop being so paranoid. Kushina isn't that kind of person..." Asuka retorted loudly.

"It's true... Kushina definitely won't let me go... Mom, you have no idea how terrifying Kushina is when she's angry. At the academy, everyone calls her the [Red Hot Habanero]. When she goes crazy, she even hits herself..."

Hearing this, Kushina's face involuntarily showed a look of bewilderment.

'I... I hit myself???'

Soon, confusion and bewilderment turned into towering rage.

"Shut up! Unless I see it with my own eyes, I'll never believe you..." Asuka scolded sternly.

"Mom, I'm your own son... Why don't you believe me but only believe Kushina..." Ryun spread his hands helplessly.

'Hmph... You little brat, always spouting nonsense. Who would believe you? Trying to slander me? Luckily, Auntie is wise and fair...'

Kushina was smug in her heart. If she weren't in hiding right now, she would have hugged Auntie Asuka and kissed her a few times.

"I don't believe a word you say. How could you describe such a nice girl as a violent maniac, a murderer?"

"Assassinate you... ambush you... Why don't you just say Kushina is hiding in the bushes right now?"

As she spoke, a wicked smile unconsciously appeared on Asuka's face.

"!!!"

Kushina was horrified, covering her mouth and not daring to breathe loudly.

"Huh... I smell a familiar fragrance, like it's coming from the bushes..."

Ryun delivered a 'lethal blow', one designed to 'scare someone to death without compensation'.

"Really? Let me see what's going on..."

Asuka looked puzzled, then slowly bent down to inspect the bushes.

Poof!!!

A small puff of smoke rose, and Asuka's expression abruptly turned stunned.

She didn't see the girl she expected. Instead, in the bushes was an old woman with red hair!

At the critical moment, Kushina had used the Transformation Technique!

However, since the academy only taught the [Human Transformation Technique] for now, and the [Object Transformation Technique] wouldn't be taught until the sixth year, she couldn't transform into bushes, rocks, or animals.

Moreover, the Transformation Technique used in a panic had many flaws. She needed to be familiar with the target's appearance and clothing, so she instinctively modeled it roughly after Mito Uzumaki...

"Who... who are you???"

Asuka's face first showed shock, then a flash of admiration, followed by fear.

The red-haired old woman looked panicked. She didn't answer, quickly jumped out of the bushes, covered her face, and fled toward the gap Asuka had left open.

'Heh... Quick thinking, but not quick enough...'

Watching the red-haired old woman sprint away at full speed, Ryun's wicked smile grew even wider.

The next moment, his legs suddenly exerted force, and he disappeared from the spot in a Body Flicker.

The red-haired old woman was fast, but Ryun was clearly faster!

"Stop!"

Ryun appeared right in front of her, nearly scaring Kushina's soul out of her body...

'How is he so fast!!!'

Kushina never expected that someone would use Clone Technique, Transformation Technique, and Body Flicker just to mess with her...

"You old hag, you scared my mom... You think you can run without apologizing?"

Ryun grinned menacingly as he strode toward her.

"I... I'm sorry, dattebane..."

Hearing this, Ryun almost couldn't hold back his laughter...

This idiot Kushina, when nervous, had blurted out her catchphrase...

"Dattebane???"

Ryun's face showed confusion.

Realizing she had accidentally revealed her catchphrase, the red-haired old woman hurriedly covered her mouth.

"As far as I know, there's only one person in Konoha with such thick, bright red hair..."

Asuka spoke up at this moment. She stood up from the ground, her expression strange and unusually serious.

"As far as I know, there's only one person in Konoha who blurts out weird catchphrases when nervous."

Ryun grinned savagely, continuing Asuka's line of thought.

The two of them stepped toward the 'red-haired old woman' at the same time. Kushina trembled in fear and instinctively backed away.
