"Why are you crying? Your big brother's right here!"
"!!!"
Hearing that familiar voice, the tears on Kushina's face stopped instantly.
A shadow landed in front of her in an instant. Before she could look up, she saw a rough little hand reaching out before her.
Kushina instinctively placed her palm in it. Liuyun smiled freely and pulled her up from the ground.
That warm, powerful hand gave Kushina an immense sense of security. When she saw that familiar, gentle smile, the grievance buried deep in her heart poured out like floodwaters released from a dam...
Her lips trembled, and tears as large as beans began falling uncontrollably.
She might never forget this moment for the rest of her life!
Liuyun raised a hand and wiped the tears from her cheeks.
"You're the undefeated Red Hot Habanero, aren't you...? How can you cry over such a tiny setback?"
Hearing the praise of "undefeated" and the nickname "Red Hot Habanero," Kushina immediately burst into laughter through her tears...
Realizing how badly she had lost control, Kushina became embarrassed and annoyed at once. She lowered her head and slammed it hard into Liuyun's little chest.
"Hmph..."
Liuyun's smile froze instantly, and he let out a muffled groan.
That hit had nearly knocked the breath out of him...
Kushina's tearful, smiling, bashful appearance left Minato Namikaze, watching from the tree, completely stunned.
The two were even closer than he had imagined!
"You little bastard!"
"Bro, this guy bullied me at school too! The two of them are called the Black and Red Demons at school. Teach him a good lesson for me!"
Sato pointed at Liuyun, thoroughly flustered and enraged.
"Black and Red Demons? Pretty arrogant, aren't they?" the Genin brother sneered.
"You threw that Shuriken just now, didn't you? You meddlesome brat. With aim like that, you dare play the hero rescuing a damsel?"
The Genin brother pressed the lightly injured back of his hand, his face full of mockery. The Shuriken had only scraped his skin.
That was because Liuyun had deliberately held back.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, he used weapons as little as possible when he could. Causing village ninja overly serious external injuries would definitely draw the Anbu's attention.
"A graduated Genin bullying a little girl still in school. Look how proud you are of yourself..."
Liuyun stared coldly at the Genin. He pulled Kushina aside, then strode toward the other man.
"Heh... sharp-tongued little brat. Let me teach you how to use a Shuriken!"
The Genin brother grinned viciously, pulled a Shuriken straight from his Ninja Tool Pouch, and flung it at Liuyun's face.
The speeding Shuriken rapidly enlarged in Liuyun's eyes. Kushina panicked at the sight.
But before she could warn him, Liuyun calmly tilted his head. The Shuriken flew past his cheek in an instant.
His dodge was perfectly timed, and his footsteps never faltered or paused in the slightest!
The move stunned everyone present and left the Genin brother with an expression of disbelief.
He had just said he would teach someone how to use a Shuriken, only for a little kid to dodge it so easily moments later... He could not accept such an outcome.
"Bastard..."
The Genin brother cursed through gritted teeth, clenched his fist, and charged forward. His sandbag-sized fist shot straight at Liuyun's face.
Just as he had dodged the Shuriken, Liuyun swayed his head left and right to evade several consecutive punches. Then, with one step back, he easily avoided the sweeping kick.
The Genin brother's movements looked slow and stiff in his eyes, and his entire body was full of openings.
Putting aside whether he knew ninjutsu or not, this man's taijutsu was, in some ways, even worse than elementary-schooler Uchiha Yan's...
"Damn it, all you know how to do is dodge..."
The Genin brother threw another punch, only for Liuyun to evade it with a tilt of his head. Before he could finish speaking, Liuyun flashed forward in the next instant, and a fist smashed heavily into his abdomen!
Terrifying explosive force struck his body. Before the Genin brother could even cry out, his entire body was blasted far away like a cannonball leaving its barrel.
"So strong!"
Minato could not help exclaiming softly from the tree.
That instant burst of speed had been so fast that even he had failed to react.
"Was that the Body Flicker Technique?"
Minato murmured, recalling a powerful ninjutsu his teacher had once explained.
"No, there were no hand seals. That was instant explosive power generated purely through his legs..."
The Genin brother rolled across the ground more than a dozen times. The moment he stopped, the world spun around him, and his stomach cramped violently. Then, with a "Bleurgh," he vomited everything he had eaten for lunch.
"Bro!!!"
Sato let out a miserable cry.
He had just wanted to check on his brother, but Liuyun appeared in front of him first and kicked him to the ground.
"Ah..."
Sato cried out in pain, tears nearly spilling from his eyes. But before he could get up, Liuyun sat directly on his back, a Kunai appearing in his hand!
"Ah! What are you doing?! Murder!!!"
Sato was terrified by the sight!
"!!!"
Seeing Liuyun take out a Kunai with a stern expression, Minato in the tree was equally shocked.
"Liuyun, don't do anything reckless!" Minato hurriedly called out to stop him.
Liuyun ignored Minato. Grinning viciously, he grabbed Sato's hair, looking as though he were about to cut off his head...
Sato was so frightened that tears and snot streamed down his face.
"Don't kill me... Help!!!"
Sato clawed wildly at the ground with both hands and kicked frantically with his legs, but no matter how he struggled, he could not shake off the figure on top of him.
"Liuyun, don't!!!"
Seeing Liuyun raise the Kunai high, ready to slash down, Kushina's mind went blank. She opened her mouth and shouted instinctively to stop him.
If Liuyun ended up with a life on his hands because of this, his promising future would probably be ruined!
Although Kushina hated Sato, his crime did not warrant death. If Liuyun killed him, she did not dare imagine what terrible consequences would follow.
Minato could no longer stand by. He hurriedly jumped down from the tree, but before he could stop Liuyun, Liuyun made his move first!
A cold flash streaked through the air. Minato had no time to save him and could only watch with wide eyes as it happened.
Kushina covered her eyes in terror.
Sato wet his pants on the spot!
"You mutt, don't you love mocking other people's hair? Today, your big brother will give you a free haircut! Hahaha..."
Liuyun stood up laughing.
"..."
Minato watched the scene, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Hearing Liuyun's laughter, Kushina hurriedly looked over.
"!!!"
The bloodshed she had expected never appeared, but when she saw the bald Sato on the ground, she froze on the spot.
"My... my... hair!"
Looking at the short hair casually tossed in front of him, then touching the chilly top of his head, Sato's face filled with disbelief. In the next instant, he let out an earth-shaking scream.
"Quit shrieking. Hurry up, grab your brother, and get the hell out of here. Otherwise, I'll shave off your eyebrows too..."
Liuyun smiled and kicked his butt.
"Uh..."
The scream stopped abruptly. Sato hurriedly scrambled to his feet, dragged his badly injured brother away, and ran for his life. The two looked as miserable as could be.
"Serves you right! Hahaha!!!"
After coming to her senses, Kushina could not help laughing loudly. Bald Sato was simply too hilarious—and too pathetic!
How could she still feel wronged now? Her stomach hurt from laughing!
Standing together, Liuyun and Minato could not help laughing as they watched the two brothers flee in disarray.
