Does Being Handsome Mean You Can Do Whatever You Want?

Chiba had long known that Anbu agents were watching him.

They had only started keeping an eye on him because of Kushina.

As long as he did not do anything excessive, the Anbu's attention would soon shift elsewhere.

"Nine-Tails, when will you grow as strong as that Great Fox next door?"

"Master, I'm still little. My Chakra refinement speed is too slow."

The Nine-Tails complained unhappily. The Nine-Tails next door had been split off from the Ten-Tails.

But it had grown from nothing, little by little, and could only rely on its own efforts.

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

When school ended at noon, a female classmate invited Chiyue to eat lunch with her. Kushina's large eyes widened into perfect circles.

She really wanted to know whether Chiyue would accept or reject her, just as he had rejected her.

"Sorry, I don't like eating with people who are too ugly."

Chiyue rejected her decisively—and slapped her in the face while doing so.

That was why, despite being handsome, not many girls dared approach him.

Getting rejected was one thing. Being humiliated afterward was another.

Not many children could take that.

Chiyue had long grown tired of playing dating and lunchbox games with these little girls. It was better to reject them outright.

That way, he would not leave them with any lingering hopes.

"Waaah, Lord Chiyue is so cruel."

The girl covered her face and ran away crying.

Kushina was completely stunned.

She had always held a grudge over Chiyue rejecting her, but now that she thought about it, it actually seemed pretty good. At least Chiyue had not called her ugly.

For some reason, Kushina felt a wave of relief.

Thank goodness, thank goodness I'm not ugly.

Wait, what am I feeling relieved about?

I'm one of the people he rejected too!

Thinking of her own rejection, Kushina could no longer feel happy.

That night, after returning home, Kushina asked Nawaki, "Brother Nawaki, how do boys usually reject invitations from girls?"

"If it's someone you don't like, you politely refuse. What's wrong?"

Nawaki looked at Kushina strangely.

"You got rejected again?"

"Ah!!"

Nawaki clutched his foot and jumped high into the air.

Tsunade snorted and withdrew her foot. "If you don't know how to talk, then shut up."

She pulled Kushina into her arms and pointed at Nawaki.

"Don't listen to him. He's never been invited by a girl, so how could he give you advice? You should listen to your big sister instead."

"..."

Nawaki suddenly felt that the foot she had stepped on no longer hurt.

Because now his heart hurt.

He really wanted to ask, Are you really my biological sister?

"Did that brat Yagami Chiyue reject you again? Want your big sister to beat him up tomorrow? Rejecting our adorable Kushina—he really doesn't know what's good for him."

"No, that's not it."

Kushina's face turned red with anxiety.

She hurriedly shook her head. "Lord Chiyue rejected another classmate today. The way he did it was a little unusual, so I was just curious."

What a waste of my expression. I thought this silly girl had been rejected again.

Tsunade withdrew her hand irritably.

"How did he reject her? Tell us."

Nawaki, whose foot no longer hurt, leaned closer in curiosity. He really wanted to know how a handsome boy rejected a girl's invitation.

"Well..."

Kushina recalled it, put on a blank expression, and mimicked Chiyue's tone. "Sorry, I don't like eating with people who are too ugly."

What the hell...

What a terrible personality. Tsunade felt her blood pressure rising and instinctively raised a hand to cover the back of her head.

Nawaki was dumbfounded. This really opened his eyes.

No wonder even the older girls said that Yagami Chiyue was so different!

He really was different. Even the way he rejected girls was unique.

Did being handsome mean he could do whatever he wanted?

That was too much.

It seemed being handsome really did mean you could do whatever you wanted. Sob, I'm so jealous.

After glancing at Tsunade's face, Nawaki felt that they could not possibly have come from the same parents.

Why was there such a huge difference between a brother and sister's looks?

It was one thing for him to be less attractive than his sister, but he was inferior to her in talent and everything else too. Had all the good genes gone to his sister?

What are you looking at?

You're acting weird.

Noticing Nawaki staring at her, Tsunade glared. He shrank his neck in fright and hurriedly jumped aside, afraid of getting beaten up.

"Pathetic."

Look at how timid you are.

"Get ready tomorrow. I'll take you to see Orochimaru. I really don't know what you were thinking, wanting to take Orochimaru as your master."

Nawaki was about to graduate, so he had decided to pull some strings.

Tsunade was preparing to take him to meet Orochimaru and settle the matter.

"Kushina."

At the end, Tsunade wrapped an arm around Kushina's shoulders and said earnestly,

"If you're willing to trust your big sister, then don't get too close to Yagami Chiyue. It won't do much good for either you or him."

"Why? Lord Chiyue and I are just classmates."

Kushina did not understand what Tsunade meant.

"Forget it."

Tsunade shook her head and did not try to persuade Kushina further. She would let things take their course.

Besides, they really were just ordinary classmates now. Would it be appropriate to go warn her about other things?

It would not.

So Tsunade decided to let nature take its course.

If that day really came, they could see how things stood then.

Perhaps by then, Kushina would already be able to make her own decisions.

As a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, combined with Kushina's own strength, the higher-ups would have to think carefully before doing anything.

After all, the Jinchuriki's status was too sensitive, especially since Kushina was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The Nine-Tails was the strongest Tailed Beast. If it ever broke free, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Going to school, training, going home to rest—the days at the Shinobi School were just that dull and boring.

If he had somewhere to learn the Shadow Clone Technique, Chiyue would have wanted to send a Shadow Clone in his place to attend school.

"Such a waste of all the Chakra I, Yagami Chiyue, have. Not being able to use Shadow Clones to help with studying and training is such a pity."

"Chiyue, what did you say?"

Minato looked over.

Chiyue casually said, "Nothing. I was praising you for being handsome. Your smile is bright and sunny, like a Little Sun, so you might as well be called Little Sun. It suits you."

"Cut it out!"

Minato was not falling for it.

"I think silver-haired brat suits you too. Why won't you accept that nickname?"

"Because the people who call me that are brats too. Of course I don't like it."

Chiyue spread his hands.

I can't be bothered with you. You're trying to fool me? No chance. What Little Sun? Does smiling brightly mean I have to be called Little Sun?

In the past, Minato would have tolerated the name, but after meeting Chiyue, he had been completely led astray.

Especially after learning the other meaning of "sun," Minato would rather die than hear anyone call him that.

"By the way, we have the day off tomorrow. Want to go on a picnic? I'll handle everything else; you just need to grill the meat."

Chiyue's cooking always left Minato wanting more.

Whenever he got the chance, he wanted Chiyue to make a meal.

"Sure."

He had nothing else to do anyway. After the picnic, they could train outside for the whole day. Mm, not a bad plan.

"Um... can I join?"

A fair little hand appeared before Chiyue and Minato.

Chiyue took one look and decisively passed the buck.
