Self-Introduction

"I already said what the new student's name is, so let's have you all introduce yourselves and say what you like. Let's get to know each other."

"Let's start with Kushina."

Ueno Juri didn't make things difficult for Uzumaki Tomoko and chose someone else to go first.

Uzumaki Kushina wasn't shy and immediately stood up to speak.

"My name is Uzumaki Kushina. I like a lot of things to eat. I don't like cilantro or people who are petty. Oh, and this guy." Kushina pointed at Hyuga Matsuba.

Hyuga Matsuba was completely bewildered. What had he done?

"When I grow up, I'm going to be Hokage. That's all." Kushina quickly sat down.

"Wow, you want to be Hokage too? Looks like you've got a lot of rivals, Nawaki!"

"Petty? Are you talking about Yamanaka Inoichi? He doesn't look like the type to have a big heart."

"Hyuga Matsuba is quite popular among the girls. It's rare to see him meet such a nemesis."

As soon as Kushina finished speaking, everyone started discussing again, and many male classmates got involved.

"Hmph, a girl actually wants to be Hokage? She doesn't even know who she is." Uchiha Ken started with sarcastic remarks. He had never said anything like this before. But he also wanted to become Hokage.

Not only that, but he also had plans. He wanted to become the leader of his clan first.

"Hokage is mine!" Nawaki clenched his fists. When it came to Hokage, he became spirited.

"Why don't we all improve together?" Yamanaka Inoichi, who had also been drawn into the conversation, salvaged the situation in time.

"Hmph, petty." Hearing Yamanaka Inoichi speak, Kushina glanced at him. She really disliked petty people.

Yamanaka Inoichi didn't know what to do and returned to his seat.

"She seems tough, but she's not strong at heart at all. This girl is the complete opposite of Mikoto, different in every way," Hyuga Matsuba said quietly.

Even though his voice wasn't loud, Kushina happened to hear it. She immediately flew into a rage, looking at Hyuga Matsuba angrily.

Kushina's round face was plump and exceptionally rosy. Coupled with her red hair, she looked quite like an apple.

"My first impression was really accurate, wasn't it?" Hyuga Matsuba muttered and then lowered his head, not speaking anymore.

Kushina glared at Hyuga Matsuba, angrily slammed her stool, and thought about how she could block him on the way home this afternoon and teach him a lesson to be more careful in the future.

Currently, Kushina was just as Hyuga Matsuba had guessed; she only appeared tough on the outside.

Her country had perished not long ago, and she had only recently arrived in this new town. Uzumaki Tomoko was her only friend, so she was quite scared.

Right now, Kushina only felt very nervous.

Kushina felt very angry that Hyuga Matsuba had seen through her just now, and she planned what moves she would use later to beat Hyuga Matsuba so badly that he couldn't get up.

However, Kushina didn't realize that although she said she disliked Hyuga Matsuba just now, it wasn't entirely true. She felt a sense of inexplicable security from Hyuga Matsuba.

"Tomoko, it's your turn now. Don't be shy," Ueno Juri reminded kindly. She glared at the other students.

These brats really didn't take her seriously. She had told them several times, but they didn't listen. Ueno Juri was so angry she wanted to beat them up and show them how formidable their teacher was.

Sensing the teacher's seriousness, everyone quickly returned to their well-behaved mode, looking harmless.

Uzumaki Tomoko slowly stood up and said softly, "My name is Uzumaki Tomoko. I like tidying up. I don't dislike anything. In the future, I just want to live a peaceful life."

Her words were plain and unremarkable. Everyone listened quietly, and no one interrupted.

Because Uzumaki Tomoko seemed too embarrassed, no one wanted to deliberately pick on her.

"If anyone dares to pick on Tomoko, I'll be the first one to beat you to death," Kushina added through gritted teeth.

But her cute, round little face made her look not fierce at all.

"Wow," some students thought this newcomer was quite formidable and felt a little unconvinced.

Ueno Juri didn't know what to say. This class was definitely the hardest to manage in the entire school.

At the beginning, there were group fights and brawls, which caused quite a stir. Later, Uchiha Fugaku was injured, which made them famous in the school.

However, there were quite a few students in this class with powerful connections, making management difficult. Ueno Juri couldn't do anything about it.

"Straighten your attitude! Hyuga Matsuba and Shikaku Nara in the back, if you keep lying on your desks, you're going out to stand in the corner!" Ueno Juri put on her teacher's demeanor.

These two students were thorns in the teacher's side. They slept in class every day without listening, yet they always got good grades.

Hyuga Matsuba got up when he heard her. His memory was also excellent; he could read ten lines at a glance and remember them firmly. The current learning content was very basic, and he could grasp the general idea by just listening casually.

"If you're so lazy and relaxed, you'll never achieve great things. Go back to farming quickly," Kushina started with sarcastic remarks.

"Bang!"

Hyuga Matsuba slapped Kushina. Judging by the sound, it must have hurt.

But Kushina endured it and said nothing, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Let's see if you're still so feisty," Hyuga Matsuba said.

"Just you wait!" Kushina gritted her teeth and then stood up abruptly.

"Teacher! He's bullying the new student! He just hit my head with his hand!" Kushina grabbed the teacher's sleeve and started to complain.

Ueno Juri, who had been explaining sternly just now, broke the pointer with a "crack."

"Hyuga Matsuba, how dare you disrespect your teacher? Get out this instant." Ueno Juri then turned her gaze to Choza Akimichi.

"You over there! How long have you been eating and still not finished? Do you really think your teacher is blind?"

Hyuga Matsuba shot a glare at Kushina and slowly walked over to Nawaki, deftly snatching his game console.

"It's mine now. Dingza, grab your chips, let's go."

Under the watchful eyes of the entire classroom, Hyuga Matsuba and Choza Akimichi, laden with various items, strolled out of the classroom as if they owned the place.

"Shameless Hyuga Matsuba, I just bought that game console! If you break it, I'll kill you!" Nawaki jumped up.

"Senju Nawaki, I'm giving you a chance too. Get out!"

It seemed Ueno Juri would be too angry to sleep tonight.

"Dingza, you're so petty, only giving me this little bit. And you call us brothers!" Nawaki reached out again for Choza Akimichi's chips.

Dingza immediately shielded his snacks, looking at Nawaki defensively and roaring angrily, "Matsuba is so generous to everyone, always treating us. You're the stingy one, always taking advantage of us. I'm not giving you any!"
