You Can't Just Kill Them, Can You? The Violent Red Hot Habanero

"I... I didn't... You're talking nonsense!" Kameda's face turned bright red, so angry that he nearly burst into tears.

"Stop playing pitiful. Wasn't it you and Sato who deliberately picked a fight during lunch break? You came right up and started insulting Liuyun and me, and now you have the nerve to pretend you're innocent? Shameless..."

Kushina wasn't about to indulge this little turtle guy.

As soon as she said that, the people involved all lowered their heads unconsciously. One look from the homeroom teacher, Xiaotian, told him that Kushina had not lied. These little brats had started the trouble again.

"You lot will go home and write me a two-hundred-word self-criticism. Hand it in tomorrow. If I'm not satisfied, you'll keep writing until I am..."

Xiaotian handed down the punishment, then told those troublemakers to get out.

"Kushina, you can go home too..."

"Okay..."

Kushina answered, but she dawdled, wanting to wait for Liuyun.

"Liuyun, even though they were in the wrong, you hit him too hard. One of Kameda's teeth was knocked loose..."

"You'll stay behind this afternoon and clean the classroom in Kameda's place..."

The homeroom teacher, Xiaotian, gave his punishment.

"Ha ha ha, serves you right..."

The troublemakers spying outside wore gleeful expressions and could not help laughing at him.

"You little brats!"

Xiaotian stormed out after them, and the elementary school students fled in fright.

Liuyun thought Xiaotian's mild punishment was fair and reasonable. From an adult's perspective, it was fairly impartial.

But from a child's perspective, the punishment was extremely unfair...

Especially to Kushina. Her teeth itched with anger, and she kept cursing those elementary school students under her breath.

After venting for a while, Kushina picked up a broom and helped Liuyun clean the classroom. In her eyes, the two of them were already comrades who shared the same misery.

"Hey, Liuyun, aren't you angry at all?"

Seeing Liuyun quietly working the whole time, Kushina could not help asking curiously.

"What would I be angry about?" Liuyun asked without raising his head.

"Those bastards... They were obviously the ones who started it. You only fought back, yet Oda-sensei still punished you like this."

Kushina clenched her small pink fist, her face full of indignation.

Liuyun looked up at her and smiled. That beautiful smile left Kushina visibly dazed for a moment, and more than half her anger faded with it.

"You nearly knocked his tooth out. What more do you want? It's not like we can kill the guy, right?"

Liuyun said it casually, but to Kushina, it sounded shockingly powerful!

That's true. We can't kill them, can we? Those guys are awful, but they don't deserve to die...

"You're right... But next time, you should hit harder. It'd be best if you knocked their teeth out. Then they won't dare bother you again!"

Having figured it out, Kushina's anger finally eased.

"..."

Liuyun remained silent. You, Red Hot Habanero, beat people up every day, yet no one ever seemed to avoid you...

"Huh..."

Liuyun suddenly noticed something strange and let out a soft sound.

"What is it?"

Kushina wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked.

"Why are all the little paper balls on the floor gone? I remember throwing them under the desks. Why are they all gone? Even the scraps of paper torn off earlier are gone..."

Hearing that, Kushina immediately returned to her seat.

After looking around, she found that the little paper balls she had thrown away were gone too!

"That's right, the paper balls under my desk are gone too. Not even a scrap is left. It's cleaner than if a dog had licked it..." Kushina was a little surprised as well.

But she soon could not be bothered to think about it.

"Maybe the wind blew them away!"

Liuyun nodded and could not be bothered to dwell on such a trivial matter either.

"This awful weather is so hot..."

After working hard for a while, Kushina was covered in fragrant sweat, her pretty face flushed red from the heat.

If you can't find the book by searching its title, try searching for the author. It might have just been renamed!

Liuyun nodded, then tore off the white cloth that had been wrapped around his forehead year-round.

That kid from the original body had really been something. Whether it was hot or cold, he always wrapped several layers of white cloth around his head.

When he was young, aside from being mocked for his messy hair, he had often been ridiculed by children his age for having an overly wide forehead.

Liuyun did not care what others thought. After tearing off the cloth, he casually tossed it aside, along with the hairband that had tied his hair so tightly it was unbearably uncomfortable.

His long, silky hair fell straight over his shoulders.

At that moment, he looked exactly like a girl, leaving Kushina staring blankly!

A wide forehead, black eyes, long straight hair—every single feature struck directly at Kushina's tastes.

At the moment, her tastes were basically the same as Naruto's had been when he was little.

How badly had little Naruto been smitten with wide-foreheaded Sakura? Kushina felt like she was about the same...

The instant she took a liking to him, she could no longer look away. She even unconsciously stepped closer several times, just so she could see him more clearly...

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Liuyun asked in confusion.

Then, in the next moment, he lowered his head slightly and asked with a smile:

"Do you think wide foreheads are ugly too?"

That feeling of inferiority came from the original owner of the body.

"No, it's not like that!" Kushina hurriedly waved her hands in explanation.

"Your... forehead is very pretty, and your hair is... very pretty too, and your eyes..."

Her voice grew quieter and quieter until Liuyun could not even hear her clearly.

"Thank you..."

Though he could not hear the last two phrases clearly, he had heard that she thought his forehead was pretty.

"You're welcome..."

Kushina's voice was still as soft as a mosquito's buzz, while her cheeks had turned alarmingly red!

"Why is your face so red? Are you too hot?"

Looking at the red, round face right in front of him, Liuyun could not help reaching out and touching it.

"Gah... It's so hot!"

"Ah..." Kushina cried out, then shoved him straight to the floor.

This was just too embarrassing...

"Ow!"

Kushina had just been about to run away when she heard Liuyun cry out miserably.

Looking closely, she realized that she had pushed too hard. When Liuyun fell, the back of his head had struck a chair.

"Hiss..." Liuyun covered the back of his head and sucked in breath after breath.

He reached back and felt no blood, but it really did hurt...

Good thing my head is hard enough!

"Are... are you okay?"

Kushina forgot all about being embarrassed and hurriedly helped her little deskmate up from the floor.

"You're way too violent..."

"Who told you to go touching people?" Kushina gave an awkward laugh, even blurting out one of her strange catchphrases.

"I only touched you once. Was there any need for such a huge reaction?" Liuyun glared at her.

Kushina unconsciously lowered her head, looking as though she were admitting fault.

But before long, she seemed to think of something. Raising her head, she argued, "Don't you know girls are thin-skinned? How can you just touch a girl's face?"

"I saw your face was unnaturally red. I thought you were feeling unwell, so I touched you..."

"Besides, so you know you're a girl after all? Why didn't you remember that when you were beating people up?"

"None of your business!"

Kushina shoved him away, and Liuyun's waist slammed hard into the corner of a desk!

"Ah..." Another gasp of pain.

"Oh no... I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Having accidentally hurt him again, Kushina immediately panicked.

"You... don't touch me. Stay... stay farther away from me..."
