Framed by Kushina, the Rampaging Red Hot Habanero

Facing the math teacher's questioning, Kushina broke out in a cold sweat. She hemmed and hawed for ages but couldn't give a proper explanation.

Watching this unfold, Liuyun struggled to hold back his laughter, his eyes brimming with schadenfreude.

Kushina happened to catch Liuyun suppressing a laugh from the corner of her eye. Her brows immediately shot up, and she pointed at him as she loudly defended herself:

"Teacher, Liuyun was making faces to make me laugh."

"???!!!"

The smile on Liuyun's face froze instantly. The next moment, he hurriedly protested.

"It wasn't me, I didn't..."

"You two, get to the back and stand through the lesson!"

The math teacher did not care about the details and directly sent them both to the back to stand as punishment.

"You damn tomato, you set me up!" Liuyun cursed under his breath.

"Isn't it all your fault, you little brat..." Kushina muttered back.

"Did I make you laugh?"

Her laugh threshold was so low, yet she blamed someone else. Liuyun shot her a vicious glare.

"Then why were you laughing when the teacher caught me? If I'm having a bad time, don't expect to have it easy either..."

Kushina smiled sweetly and shamelessly acted like a rascal.

"..."

His legs had already been sore, and now he had to stand as punishment. Liuyun truly felt like crying without tears.

Just before the first class ended, Kushina noticed Liuyun's legs trembling nonstop and could not help asking curiously:

"Hey, why are your legs shaking?"

"Isn't it all because of you?" Liuyun rolled his eyes at her. He had originally had plenty of time to rest.

"It's just standing as punishment. Your legs are shaking this badly? Are you some kind of weak-kneed shrimp..."

As soon as she said it, Kushina herself burst out laughing.

"I went for a morning run, and the Ninja Academy is already far from my house. Now I have to stand as punishment too. If it were you, your legs would go weak too..."

Honestly, if it were Kushina, her legs really would not go weak... After all, she possessed the Uzumaki Clan's formidable physique. By adulthood, her vitality had even surpassed that of an unawakened Sage Body.

As a Jinchuriki, even after the Nine-Tails was forcibly extracted from her body, she had not only failed to die immediately but had also been able to exert herself to restrain the complete Nine-Tails for nearly half a day.

Yet Uzumaki Naruto, who possessed a Sage Body, had nearly dropped dead on the spot after having merely half the Nine-Tails extracted from him. If he had not had protagonist plot armor, the grass on his grave would have been several meters tall by now.

This showed just how terrifying Kushina's physical constitution was. Based on this advantage alone, she could easily crush the current Liuyun.

"Hmph, I'm not as weak as you..." Kushina mocked him mercilessly.

"You... shut up!" Liuyun gritted his teeth in frustration.

Soon, the first class came to an end.

Fortunately, when the math teacher saw Liuyun's trembling legs and his sweat-soaked, "kidney-deficient" appearance, he did not make things difficult for them any further. After scolding them a few times, he turned and left.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

After taking only a few steps, Liuyun nearly collapsed to the ground because his feet had gone numb. Fortunately, Kushina caught him in time.

"I'll help you back to your seat..." Kushina said quietly, her face reddening.

The two stood extremely close at that moment, close enough to smell each other's scent.

"I'm not going to thank you."

Liuyun pursed his lips, still trying to act tough.

"Then I won't help you?" Kushina pretended she was about to let go.

"I don't need your help..."

Liuyun struggled to push her away, only for Kushina to suddenly cling back to him.

"Forget it, forget it. Seeing how pitiful you look, I won't hold it against you..."

Kushina wore a beaming smile that made Liuyun want to punch her. In the end, though, he did not muster the courage to resist and simply let her support him.

"What happened to Liuyun?"

Minato came over then and helped support Liuyun from the other side.

"His feet are numb and his legs are weak. His body's too frail..." Before Liuyun could speak, Kushina beat him to it with a giggle.

"..."

"Then you should train properly..."

With the two supporting him, Liuyun returned to his seat. The moment he sat down, he immediately shoved Kushina away, then smiled and nodded his thanks to Minato.

Kushina was not upset after being pushed away. Instead, she cheerfully sat down beside him.

Minato looked at the scene with a strange expression. Since when had Kushina's temper become so good???

She could not be driven away and was even smiling like a little lapdog...

Liuyun had barely been back in his seat for a moment when a group of elementary school students stormed into their classroom aggressively.

The moment Liuyun saw the boy leading them, he could not help shaking his head with a sigh.

This little brat named Uchiha Kazuhiko had not learned his lesson. He had just been beaten so badly not long ago, yet only one class had passed and he was already refusing to accept it again.

"You really don't learn..."

As he spoke, Liuyun propped himself against the desk with both hands and stood up.

"What are you trying to do?"

Seeing that something was wrong, Kushina hurried forward and blocked several Uchiha clan members.

They glared fiercely at Liuyun. Given that Liuyun had beaten someone earlier, how could Kushina not know why they had barged into the classroom?

"This has nothing to do with you. Get out of the way, or we'll beat you up too," one Uchiha clansman coldly snapped.

He tried to shove Kushina aside, but before he could, Kushina struck first!

She seized his wrist, twisted at the waist, and threw him over her shoulder with brutal force.

That throw left him completely dazed.

"You want to bully Liuyun? Not while I'm here. You won't lay a single finger on him."

Kushina planted her foot on the sixth-year elementary school student lying on the floor. Her aura exploded, leaving the Uchiha across from her utterly stunned.

"Nice!"

Liuyun could not help applauding and cheering for her.

With such an adorable girl protecting him, how could he not love it?

The feeling of being protected was truly wonderful!

"Go, Nana! I support you spiritually..."

Liuyun raised his little fist and cheered Kushina on.

At those words, Kushina's face instantly turned bright red.

He... he called me Nana? He called me Nana?!

"Bastard! Everyone, get them! Beat those two to death!"

Uchiha Kazuhiko's face twisted with rage. With a wave of his hand, he launched the attack.

Kushina had no time to be shy. Her hands burst with force as she grabbed the Uchiha on the ground and used him as a human weapon, smashing the nearby elementary school students until they wailed and screamed.

Her berserk appearance frightened quite a few elementary school students into tears. Even Liuyun kept drawing sharp breaths at her fierceness.

He knew Kushina was strong, but he had not expected her to be this strong...

The rampaging Red Hot Habanero could take on a whole group by herself, and most of them were sixth-year elementary school students.

The Uchiha clan members among them were no weaklings either, yet they still could not subdue her. Instead, she forced them back again and again.

The Uchiha being used as a human weapon was in an even worse state. Foam spilled from his mouth, and he was nearly unconscious...

Seeing that Kushina had gone completely wild, Liuyun endured the discomfort in his legs and hurriedly tried to calm her down.

"Hey, hey, hey... Nana, put him down first, or use someone else as a weapon. This guy's about done for..."

They could not fight too viciously at school. If something really happened, the teachers would not let Kushina off lightly, even if she was the future Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

After all, the Uchiha in her hands was already foaming at the mouth...

Liuyun hurried over to persuade her to calm down, at least letting the guy in her hands catch his breath first...
