Smacking Faces with Bricks Feels the Best
"Hehehe..."
All of a sudden, Chiyue started laughing absentmindedly. His smile was a little creepy, though, making Minato and Kushina break out in goosebumps.
Even Uchiha Mikoto found it hard to take.
"W-What are you doing?"
Minato rubbed his hands vigorously, trying to smooth down the goosebumps on them.
"If you've got something to say, say it. Don't laugh so creepily, okay?"
"Let's go block the gate!"
Chiyue slapped the table and rose to his feet.
"I've realized that the Uchiha Clan people are all asking for a beating. If no one puts them in their place for a while, they start acting up. Only after getting beaten into submission will they behave."
"What? Was I wrong? Minato, why do you keep blinking at me..."
Chiyue was utterly baffled.
Oh no, murderous intent!
Turning around and seeing Mikoto's pretty face dark as charcoal, Chiyue coughed. "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. It's that idiot Uchiha Shikabane. If no one puts him in his place for a while, he starts asking for it."
"I'm going to block the gate. You joining?"
Beating up members of the Uchiha Clan?
Minato looked eager to give it a try.
Kushina was tempted too.
She did not have much of an issue with the Uchiha Clan at the moment, but this Uchiha Shikabane was just too annoying.
Since she disliked him, beating him up could not go wrong.
They had only arrived in the upper grades on their first day!!
And they were already thinking about causing trouble?
Mikoto clutched her forehead in frustration.
The ninja tool throwing class was, to put it bluntly, just a test to assess their ninja tool throwing scores.
There was no need to mention Mikoto. She was a little genius and easily earned full marks.
Chiyue got full marks as well.
Minato fell just a little short and received nine points.
Only Kushina was slightly worse.
The teacher's focus was also on observing the four of them.
After seeing the results of Chiyue, Mikoto, and Minato, he nodded in satisfaction.
Very good. They had already surpassed most students in their grade.
Kushina, whom Lord Hokage had asked him to look after, had scored a little lower than the other three, but at least she had not fallen too far behind. There was still hope for her.
After school that day, the group of four went straight to the school gate and blocked Uchiha Shikabane, who was heading home with his lackeys, scaring him half to death.
Although he had provoked Chiyue in class that morning, he had actually been feeling insecure.
Anyone would be afraid after having their head smashed open by someone younger than them with a rock when they were little.
Uchiha Shikabane had provoked Chiyue mostly because he could not stand seeing him squeeze together with Mikoto.
Who could have expected Chiyue to bring people straight to block the gate?
Yagami Chiyue, you bastard! Didn't you say it was just a warning?
This was your warning? Blocking the gate?
"Kushina, Sister Mikoto, stand farther back first. You girls shouldn't get involved in school fights. Leave it to Minato and me."
It would not sound good if girls got into fights at school.
It was better for Minato and him to step up.
Chiyue decisively picked up two bricks from the flower bed at the school gate and stuffed one into Minato's hands.
Minato accepted the brick with a bewildered expression.
They needed weapons for a fight?
"Minato, when you see someone, smack them right in the face. I'm telling you, smacking someone in the face with a brick feels the best!
"If you don't believe me, you can try it in a moment."
Minato really did want to try it, since he had never experienced that feeling before.
But if this thing hit someone in the face, would it really be okay?
"How about we just use our fists instead?"
If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author. Maybe it was just renamed!
Minato was genuinely afraid that one brick might kill someone.
"Relax, trust me."
Chiyue patted his chest with the expression of a seasoned veteran, then draped an arm around Minato's shoulders. "This thing won't kill anyone. At most, it'll break their nose and leave their face covered in blood. That's no big deal."
Minato: "..."
I feel like you're setting me up.
"..."
Kushina and Mikoto were both speechless.
It seemed Minato, that sunny little boy, had already been led astray by Chiyue.
"Uchiha Shikabane, don't run if you've got guts!"
The moment he saw Uchiha Shikabane emerge with his lackeys, Chiyue charged forward with a brick in hand.
They were really blocking the gate?
The smile on Uchiha Shikabane's face gradually froze. After standing stunned for a few seconds, he panicked, hugged his head, covered the spot that had once been smashed open, turned around, and ran.
Uchiha Shikabane's lackeys also stared blankly at Chiyue and Minato, who were charging at them aggressively with bricks in hand. They shuddered, then hurriedly followed their boss in running away.
On the Ninja Academy playground, a group of slightly older boys ran in front while a slightly younger boy chased after them with a brick.
The two Anbu ninja secretly following Kushina looked at each other.
Anbu Ninja A: "Do kids these days all like using bricks when they fight?"
Anbu Ninja B: "Who knows? The one leading the run seems to be from the Uchiha Clan. Have the Uchiha fallen this low?"
Anbu Ninja A: "We'd run too. That kid chasing them with the brick isn't weak, and he fights dirty. He's only been enrolled for two years, yet he's beaten up every troublemaker in the upper grades."
Anbu Ninja B: "..."
In the end, Chiyue's attempt to block the gate failed because a teacher arrived.
Chiyue promptly tossed aside his brick, grabbed Minato, and ran.
Blocking the gate to fight was one thing, but hitting people in front of a teacher was another. The punishment would be much harsher.
Chiyue did not really intend to smash another hole in Uchiha Shikabane's head. He merely wanted to scare him half to death.
That would keep that fool from provoking him again. Looking at him was annoying enough.
If he really wanted to beat him up, he could have done it in class. Why wait until after school?
"You brats, on your first day in class, you already brought people to block the gate."
Watching Chiyue and Minato flee at top speed, the teacher laughed as he scolded them. He then glared irritably at Uchiha Shikabane and the others. "When you were bullying other students, why didn't you think this day would come?"
"Eight of you got chased around by two kids two years younger than you with bricks. How embarrassing!"
Uchiha Shikabane and the others looked like they wanted to cry but had no tears.
Of course they had not wanted to run, but the problem was that they could not beat them!!
When Chiyue had first started school, he had blocked them plenty of times.
By himself, he had easily knocked them all down.
Two years had passed, so it would only be even easier now.
Under those circumstances, only an idiot would not run.
Were they supposed to stand there and wait to be beaten up?
"Chiyue, the teacher won't scold us, right?"
On the way home, Minato was a little worried that the teacher would scold them.
After all, blocking the gate and chasing classmates with bricks was one thing if they were not caught, but if they were caught, the teacher would definitely scold them.
Chiyue carried the vegetables he had bought from the market and said without a care, "What are you afraid of? Did we hit anyone?"
"Didn't we?"
Minato scratched his head. Then what were they doing, blocking the gate and chasing people with bricks?
"Who did you hit?"
Chiyue began guiding Minato. "We only blocked the school gate. We only chased people with bricks. We didn't actually hit anyone, right?"
"..."
That seemed to be true.
"Since we didn't hit anyone, how can it count as hitting people? Teachers can't falsely accuse us either. Don't worry. At most, they'll complain a little and tell us not to bully our classmates. They won't scold us."
Chiyue had experience with this sort of thing.
It was much as Chiyue had expected.
The next day, the teacher only reminded them to get along with their classmates, not to start conflicts, and especially not to chase or hit people with bricks. Then there was no further follow-up.
