If Yagami Chiyue Can't Be Won Over, Then Try Another Approach

Kushina put on a look of sudden realization and smiled.

"Hello, I'm Kushina. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Nara Shikaku. Nice to meet you."

Nara Shikaku looked somewhat restrained.

The main reason was the legend of Kushina, the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero, that had spread through the school.

He could always hear other students talking about how fierce Kushina was and how much it hurt when she hit people.

Now that he had finally met her in person, he would be lying if he said he was not nervous.

"I'm Uchiha Mikoto."

Compared to Kushina, Nara Shikaku felt that Uchiha Mikoto would be easier to get along with.

After all, Uchiha Mikoto had been known for her gentle temperament ever since she was in school.

Was it just my imagination?

This guy with the little braid seemed a little afraid of me.

Was I really that scary?

He acted normally around Sister Mikoto, but he chickened out around me?

The way Kushina looked at Nara Shikaku began to change.

There was killing intent!

Nara Shikaku, who had been chatting with Chiyue about the new students, suddenly felt a chill run down the back of his neck. He instinctively turned around and saw Kushina clenching her fists, her hair beginning to float.

I don't think I did anything.

The Red Hot-Blooded Habanero is about to blow up. Is this aimed at me?

"Ahem, enough, Kushina. It's Shikaku's first time visiting. You'll scare him like this."

Seeing that Nara Shikaku looked as if he were facing a great enemy and was practically ready to run, Chiyue spoke up in time to stop her. Otherwise, Nara Shikaku might have gotten beaten up.

"What happened? Who provoked Kushina?"

Noticing the situation in the living room, Minato shook the water from his hands and ran out.

Unexpectedly, he met Kushina's nearly fire-spitting eyes head-on.

"..."

"The vegetables aren't washed yet. I'll go wash them first. You all carry on, carry on."

Minato decisively returned to the kitchen, pretending he had seen nothing and that none of this had anything to do with him.

Damn...

Minato had rushed over, then hurriedly fled again. Nara Shikaku was dumbfounded by the sight.

Could you be any more exaggerated?

"All right, let's go bring out the pastries."

The considerate Uchiha Mikoto smiled and stepped forward, pulling Kushina away.

The crisis was successfully defused.

"Phew~~"

Sure enough, I shouldn't have come to join the fun. The Red Hot-Blooded Habanero is too dangerous. I have to stay far away from her in the future.

How could Minato like a girl like that?

She's absolutely terrifying.

Nara Shikaku ate the meal with his heart pounding and sweat all over his head. As soon as he finished eating, he casually found an excuse and eagerly left.

It was as if something terrifying were chasing him from behind.

I don't want to see him again!

If you invite friends like that again next time, I'll beat you up!!

Nara Shikaku had eaten the meal in fear and trepidation, while Minato's heart had been jumping all over the place as well.

Kushina was full of anger.

She felt that something was off. This Nara Shikaku seemed to be deliberately displeased with her and kept avoiding her.

Was she some kind of monster?

Damn it!

"Ahaha... Well, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first. See you tomorrow!"

Minato had originally wanted to bring Chiyue along for training, but seeing the situation, he felt it was better to flee first. Otherwise, Kushina really might hit someone.

"You're lucky you ran fast!"

Kushina snorted and wiped her nose with her thumb, making it clear that she was very unhappy.

Only after Uchiha Mikoto spent some time persuading her did she calm down.

"Father, Yagami Chiyue refused. He did not even give me a chance to enter and persuade him."

At the clan head's residence, Uchiha Fugaku knelt before the Uchiha Clan Head in shame, his head lowered.

He did not dare raise his head to look at his father, afraid that he would see disappointment on his father's face.

The Uchiha Clan Head glanced at his trembling son, his expression unchanged as he said calmly,

"If his mother were still alive, there should have been a chance. Unfortunately..."

He shook his head and poured himself a cup of tea.

"You need not concern yourself with this matter. Focus on taking over the Police Force. The Uchiha Clan has not fallen so low that losing one genius would cause our decline. I believe that one day, he will change his mind. After all, those who understand the Sharingan best are still us, the Uchiha Clan."

"But the Great Elder..."

"Foolish!!"

The Uchiha Clan Head slammed his teacup heavily onto the table and rebuked him.

"What you need to care about is how to take over the Police Force and how to persuade its members to follow you, not the Great Elder's opinion."

"Yes."

Uchiha Fugaku lowered his head even further.

After thoroughly scolding his son, the Uchiha Clan Head took a breath and finally calmed down.

"Go to Uchiha Mikoto's home and speak with her mother. Tell her that I suggest her daughter join the Police Force."

If I can't win over you, Yagami Chiyue, can't I bring Uchiha Mikoto into the Police Force?

As long as Uchiha Mikoto remained in the Police Force, Chiyue would never turn against the Uchiha Clan.

Unless the Uchiha Clan took the initiative to provoke him.

After all, the Uchiha Clan had only refused to let him return. They had not kicked him while he was down or done anything else to him.

With Uchiha Mikoto and her mother acting as intermediaries, even if Chiyue continued growing stronger, he would not actively make things difficult for the Uchiha Clan in the future.

So what if Chiyue had some opinions about the Uchiha Clan?

Would the foremost clan of the ninja world really fear a child?

"Yes, I'll visit them immediately."

Uchiha Fugaku let out a sigh of relief.

No matter how many times it happened, he always felt nervous whenever he faced his father. He was always afraid that his father would be disappointed in him.

Late at night, Uchiha Fugaku brought gifts and paid them a visit.

He also conveyed the clan head's intentions on his behalf.

How should I persuade Sister Mikoto?

At that moment, Chiyue was also at home, troubled by this matter.

A new war had broken out. Even if Sunagakure sent a large number of ninja into the Land of Fire, they would be driven out sooner or later.

Konoha would never allow the battlefield to remain on its doorstep.

Pushing the battlefield into the Land of Wind was certain. If that was not possible, then it had to be moved into the Land of Rivers.

When the time came, Chiyue could be sent to either the Land of Rivers battlefield or the Land of Rain battlefield.

The village would definitely not leave him idle and let him spend every day doing nothing.

Chiyue was not afraid of war, but he needed to consider the people around him, such as Uchiha Mikoto.

Minato was one thing. If he truly went to the battlefield, Jiraiya would definitely look after him to some extent.

But if Uchiha Mikoto followed him after being transferred to the front lines, she might face many dangers.

So Chiyue hoped she could stay in the village, or, more simply, join the Police Force first.

After joining the Police Force, even if the village conscripted ninja, they would not conscript her.

The idea was good, but Chiyue was not confident about how to persuade her.

He was afraid that the moment he opened his mouth, Uchiha Mikoto would explode.
