Find a Time to Assassinate Sato? Right Now... I'm Really Pissed!

"Next up, Minato Namikaze!"

As the highly popular genius of the class, Minato drew quite a bit of cheering the moment he stepped out.

And he did not disappoint. All ten of his thrown weapons hit their targets, earning him a score well beyond full marks.

Most people threw their ten weapons in ten separate shots. He finished all ten in just four throws, yet every single one struck the bullseye with precision!

His throwing movements were swift and graceful, clean and crisp to an absurdly handsome degree.

That display captivated quite a few girls in the class. Even many of the boys could not help clapping and cheering, Liuyun included...

"That kid is pretty outstanding! Which of you knows his name?" Jiraiya immediately became interested when he saw Minato.

"Minato Namikaze. A rare little genius and a prominent figure who has dominated first place in his grade for years. It seems he is quite well-liked too," Orochimaru commented.

"Minato Namikaze..."

Jiraiya remembered the name.

Minato really had been handsome since he was little!

Liuyun had to admire Minato Namikaze's ability and charm. He really was exceptional!

If Liuyun had not been secretly grinding so hard, he might really have been surpassed by him.

"What is so great about him? Liuyun knows Collision-Style Kunai Multi-Strike too..."

Kushina muttered softly, her little face full of defiance.

When she scored ninety-eight points, hardly anyone applauded or cheered for her. When Liuyun scored ninety-four, hardly anyone applauded or cheered for him either. Yet when it was Minato's turn, before he had even thrown anything, a whole crowd was already cheering and shouting for him...

She did not deny that Minato was extremely popular, but she had always believed Liuyun was better than him.

It was just that this "old sixth" was too sneaky. He refused to give his all whenever he was in front of other people...

Except when running his mouth...

"Look at Minato, then look at you now... You used to be pretty popular too. Why are you becoming less and less welcome?"

Kushina glared at Liuyun in disappointment.

Liuyun had not expected to get caught in the crossfire while doing nothing.

The next moment, he clasped both hands behind his head and gave his reason.

"We're the school's famous Black and Red Demons now. They all say I'm your lackey..."

"That bastard Sato has even been telling people everywhere that I was born by you. No one wants to play with me anymore... How is my lack of popularity my fault?"

When Kushina heard that, a flush instantly rose to her cheeks. She felt utterly humiliated...

More importantly, did this guy not find it embarrassing to say that now...? His skin was way too thick!!!

The moment Kushina saw Liuyun's indifferent attitude, she could not help getting angry.

"You're just going to let him spout nonsense? You don't dare beat him up yourself?"

"I did beat him up... Didn't you see how useful that was?" Liuyun replied helplessly.

"..."

Kushina was momentarily left speechless.

"Later, let's see if we can find a chance to take him out!"

As he said that, Liuyun made a slicing motion with his hand.

Seeing how serious he looked, Kushina shuddered in fright.

She hurriedly grabbed Liuyun's arm, telling him not to act rashly.

"No. Anyone who insults me shall be killed, no matter how long it takes!"

Liuyun spoke in a deep voice, his face stern.

Seeing that Liuyun had even shouted that slogan of "no matter how long it takes," Kushina figured he had truly been enraged. Frightened, she hurriedly tried to soothe him.

"It's not that serious, it's not that serious... That bastard is hateful, but he doesn't deserve to die... Calm down. Don't do anything stupid, and don't stoop to his level..."

Kushina clung to Liuyun's arm and forced a smile. Her little heart was pounding wildly with fear. She was genuinely afraid that Liuyun would go assassinate Sato during summer break...

If he really did that... it would be a huge disaster!

"Don't stoop to his level? Too late!"

Liuyun snorted coldly, his eyes locked onto Sato in the crowd.

"Right now... I'm really pissed!"

Sato suddenly felt an inexplicable chill run down his spine, making him shiver involuntarily...

"Ah... Y-you need to calm down!"

Kushina hurriedly cupped his cheeks with both hands, preventing Liuyun from continuing to look at Sato in case he really "lost control"...

"How about... how about I beat him up for you? Just let off some steam... You absolutely cannot go do anything stupid!"

"You... are you worried about me?"

Feeling the warmth of Kushina's palms, Liuyun abruptly changed the subject and gave her a "sincere" look, turning flirtatious...

The instant Kushina heard that, her face went from pale to red.

"Hey, hey, hey... What are those two doing?"

As if he had spotted something interesting, Jiraiya cried out excitedly.

"Cupping his face, blushing shyly... Don't tell me the next moment they're going to... kiss???"

"Shut up!"

Before Jiraiya could finish, Tsunade punched him flying. Her expression was rather unpleasant.

Kushina was basically her little sister. She could not just ignore something like puppy love...

After dealing with Jiraiya, Tsunade angrily wanted to go give Liuyun a piece of her mind, but Orochimaru grabbed her arm the next moment.

"Don't interrupt the children's exam. It probably isn't what that idiot Jiraiya thinks it is..."

Sure enough, as soon as he said that, the ambiguous atmosphere around Kushina vanished.

Because someone looked at the rosy pancake face so close to him, could not keep up the act any longer, and suddenly burst out laughing!

Kushina realized she had been tricked again. She was instantly furious, and regardless of the setting, she beat Liuyun until he fled with his head in his hands.

When the final Outdoor Class ended, all the students returned to the classroom. Xiaotian had already graded their papers while they were outside, and every student received their final-term evaluation.

Liuyun and Kushina both belonged among the top students, while Minato was one of the rare exceptional students.

After assigning summer homework, Xiaotian gave his final farewells to the students.

Once he left, some students impatiently ran out of the school, while others remained in the classroom to say goodbye to their close classmates.

"Liuyun, Kushina, see you next semester!"

Before Minato headed home with his backpack, he took the initiative to come over and greet them.

"Mm-hmm, see you next semester!"

Liuyun smiled and held out his hand. Minato smiled slightly and reached out to shake it.

"See you next semester, Minato!"

Kushina gave a slight bow. This time, she did not give him the cold shoulder. After all, she was a polite girl.

After Minato left, Kushina stopped pretending to be ladylike. She kicked Liuyun directly in the shin, making him bare his teeth in pain.

"Hiss, enough already... I've already admitted I was wrong. You beat me up just now too. Aren't you over it yet?"

"How are you planning to spend the break?"

Ignoring his resentment, Kushina put her hands on her hips and asked.

"How else? Of course I'll keep training..." Liuyun answered instinctively as he rubbed his shin.

"In a few days, I'll teach you Sealing Technique."

"Uh... You should have taught me ages ago!"

"Then I won't teach you..."

"Then I won't teach you Tree Climbing or Shadow Clone either."

"You dare?"

Kushina clenched her fists until they cracked.

"..."

Outside the school gates, the two waved goodbye to each other. For them, there would be plenty of time to spend together during the break, so neither felt especially moved by the farewell.

Just as Liuyun was walking home, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked his path.

"Orochimaru... dumbass!"
