Call the Parents to School? Call Who? Call Tsunade?

Kushina?

Kamimura Ichiki immediately had a headache. The Third Hokage had personally told him that Kushina's identity was far from ordinary and asked him to take extra care of her.

Yet Kushina had beaten people up—and not just one person.

Nearly a third of the class had gotten beaten by her.

"Nonsense! You were clearly the ones laughing at me and giving me awful nicknames!"

Kushina had shed the weak, helpless appearance she wore when she first entered the classroom, truly turning into a fiery red pepper.

She was covered in thorns, the kind that would prick anyone who touched her.

"Shut up, all of you!"

Kamimura Ichiki glared at the students who had complained.

He knew better than anyone which students were usually the most troublesome.

Even if Kushina was at fault, they were hardly innocent either.

"Chiyue, Minato, come to the office too."

I was just watching the show. Why am I getting dragged into this too?

Chiyue was speechless. He stood up with Minato and followed Kushina and the students she had beaten toward the teachers' office.

"Chiyue, this girl named Kushina is really fierce. You're her deskmate, so you'd better be careful."

Minato spoke quietly as they walked.

"What?"

Lost in thought, Chiyue had not caught what he said and turned back to look at him.

Was I too quiet?

Minato froze for a moment, then raised his voice.

"I said this girl named Kushina is really fierce. You're her deskmate, so be careful not to get beaten up."

"Is that so?"

Chiyue held back a laugh, patted his shoulder, and looked at him sympathetically.

"I think you should worry about yourself first. I think you're going to get beaten up."

"Huh?"

Me? Get beaten up?

By who?

Before Minato could react, he felt someone staring at him.

He instinctively looked up and immediately shuddered.

Kushina, who had been walking ahead, had stopped at some point. Her fists were clenched as she glared at him with a fierce yet childish look. Her long red hair was beginning to float upward.

This was the prelude to Kushina losing her temper.

"Take care."

Chiyue decisively slipped away.

"Damn it! You have no loyalty!!"

Minato was on the verge of tears. He felt like Chiyue had sold him out.

Why can't I keep my mouth shut?

I'm done for!

Just you wait until after school!

After gesturing at Minato, Kushina turned away with a huff.

Inside the teachers' office, Chiyue gave a simple summary.

"These idiots laughed at Kushina and gave her nicknames, so she hit them. That's basically it."

"Right, exactly."

Minato hurriedly agreed.

Having successfully offended Kushina, he no longer dared to speak carelessly.

He was afraid that Kushina would really wait at the gate after school and beat him up.

Kamimura Ichiki rubbed his temples in frustration and said, "Chiyue, you can't talk about your classmates like that."

"If they're useless and love causing trouble, what are they if not idiots?"

Chiyue calmly swept his gaze over the people who had been called into the office.

Everyone his gaze touched lowered their heads fearfully, not daring to meet his eyes.

They did not even dare to refute his calling them idiots.

"Chiyue, you..."

Kamimura Ichiki was helpless.

It would have been one thing if it were someone else, but Chiyue truly had the right to say that.

Besides, his relationship with these classmates was not particularly friendly either.

As for why... it was the same as Kushina. He had been given a nickname: the Uchiha Clan's silver-haired monster.

Then Chiyue had started waiting at the school gates after class, beating up every one of them he caught.

After a while, they began avoiding him like mice avoiding a cat.

"You and Minato go back to the classroom first."

Waving them away, Kamimura Ichiki said to Kushina, "Kushina, today's incident has become quite serious. I hope you can go home and bring your guardian here to handle this. What do you think?"

"Pfft—"

As Chiyue and Minato left the teachers' office, Chiyue burst out laughing the moment he reached the door and heard that.

Minato blinked in confusion. Someone had gotten into a fight, so calling their parents was normal. What was wrong with that?

Call the parents?

Call who?

Tsunade?

It would definitely be interesting when Tsunade got called to the school.

"Chiyue, can I come to your house for dinner tonight? I'll buy groceries after school."

Minato discussed dinner plans with Chiyue.

"Sure. Handle it however you want. I'll take care of the rest."

"No problem!"

The two were neighbors as well as classmates.

As a result, they were closer than they were with anyone else.

And after Chiyue had invited him over once by chance, Minato had always wanted to freeload meals at Chiyue's house.

"So, your classmates laughed at you at school, then you beat them up, and now they want to call your guardian?"

Tsunade irritably scratched her messy blonde hair. She had still been sleeping in!

Then Kushina had dragged her out of bed.

Only after finally waking up did she learn that Kushina's school wanted to call her guardian.

"Who told you to call a guardian?"

The moment she heard that, Tsunade exploded.

"I've been fighting since I was little, and no one has ever dared to make me call my guardian!!"

"Give me a few minutes. Big sister will go settle the score for you!!"

Before Uzumaki Mito left, she had told Tsunade to take care of Kushina. Since Kushina had been bullied, Tsunade would never stand by and do nothing.

Tsunade did not think Kushina had done anything wrong by hitting people.

On the contrary, she thought Kushina had done exactly the right thing. Those people deserved it.

It reminded Tsunade of a certain perverted bastard who was always asking for a beating.

After casually washing up, unable to even conceal the smell of alcohol on her, Tsunade took Kushina straight to the ninja academy and kicked open the office door.

Inside, Kamimura Ichiki was dealing with the parents of the students who had been beaten, and it was giving him a headache.

When the door was kicked open, he immediately became furious.

"Who the hell... uh..."

Once he saw who it was, Kamimura Ichiki shrank back in fright, sprang up from his chair, and gave the seat to Tsunade.

"So it's Tsunade Hime."

Tsunade was not buying it. She coldly glanced at the equally stunned parents, walked up to Kamimura Ichiki, and sneered.

"You're the one who told Kushina to call her guardian?"

"It was me..."

Did I forget to check the almanac before going out today?

"I'm here now. Say whatever you have to say, but don't waste my sleeping time. And you lot."

Tsunade sat down, crossed one leg over the other, and pointed at the parents who had come to make trouble.

"Your children bullied my little sister on her first day of school today. I haven't even settled that score with you yet. If this isn't handled properly, I'll have my little sister wait at the gates every day after school!"

Though she had not yet become one of the future Three Ninja, Tsunade's temper was already famous throughout Konoha.

Combined with her status, she could walk all over Konoha.

Among the future Three Ninja, she was also the only one who dared point at Danzo and the two elders and curse them out.

No matter how angry Jiraiya and Orochimaru got, they would not dare act so recklessly.

"I think I just saw Tsunade Hime!"

Tsunade was a celebrity in Konoha. As Senju Hashirama's granddaughter and the Princess of Konoha personally bestowed by the Daimyo, it was impossible for her not to be famous.

Minato's face was full of excitement.

Chiyue yawned, sprawled over his desk, and said weakly, "What's there to be excited about? Shouldn't you be worrying about your own safety instead?

"Tsunade Hime is Kushina's guardian. You just offended Kushina. Do you think she'll beat you up?"

"..."

Minato's excitement instantly vanished, and the smile on his face gradually froze.

You can't see me. You can't see me.

When Kushina returned, Minato kept praying in his heart, hoping Kushina would not notice this insignificant nobody and would let him off the hook.

Fortunately, while Kushina became very hot-tempered when provoked, she did not have a habit of hitting people for no reason.

Although she was angry that Minato had said she had a bad temper, she had no intention of actually waiting at the gates for him.

After school, Minato grabbed Chiyue and ran.

He was terrified that Kushina would wait at the gate and catch him red-handed.

That's your future wife, Minato. Could you be any more embarrassing?

After the fighting incident, Kushina integrated into the class. The people she had beaten almost always went out of their way to avoid her.

Even Minato was among them.

"Lord Chiyue, may I invite you to have lunch with me?"

When school let out at noon, Kushina hesitated for a long while before taking out the oversized lunch box she had prepared and inviting Chiyue to eat with her.

Minato had just stood up and was about to walk toward Chiyue when he saw this. He abruptly stopped, decisively left the classroom, and hoped Kushina would not notice him.

Clearly, Kushina's violent image of beating people had been deeply etched into Minato's memory.

It was not just that she beat people—she was absurdly strong, completely crushing everyone her age.

Probably no one but Chiyue would come out well after running into Kushina.

Minato might be a genius, but at this point he was still just an ordinary civilian child, not the future fastest man in the ninja world.

At this stage, Minato could only take a detour whenever he encountered Kushina.

"Sorry, I'm not really fond of rice balls or sashimi."

After glancing at the lunch box, Chiyue politely declined, took out his own lunch, and went after Minato.
