"I'm poor, my sister spent all my money, and my toys were things I saved up for a long time and bought reluctantly," Nawaki said, on the verge of tears.
Feeling Nawaki's story was too tragic, Choza Akimichi grudgingly took out a bag of dried mango and threw it to him.
"You have to treat me next time too," Choza began to haggle.
"Don't worry, when I get rich, I'll definitely take you out for fun!" Nawaki patted Choza's back.
"Hmph, you? Get rich? That's just daydreaming, wake up," Hyuga Matsuba laughed so hard his stomach hurt.
"Yeah, give it back to me," Choza said, immediately regretting it upon hearing that and wanting to take back his snacks.
But Nawaki was quick, and quickly hid the snacks securely.
"It's just one bag of dried mango, and you have a whole pile of snacks, why haggle over these little things." Nawaki immediately opened the bag, and the aroma of dried mango drifted away with the wind.
Hyuga Matsuba's face turned dark: "You kid, one bag of dried mango has you completely wrapped around its finger."
Nawaki said with a cheeky grin, "What did I do? I haven't had money to buy dried mango in a long time!"
"Wow, you guys are standing punishment, and you're living quite a good life," Shikaku Nara, who had just opened his eyes, stretched slowly.
"You're standing punishment here too?" Nawaki was very curious.
"You don't need to think hard to know you were definitely caught sleeping, your drawn-on eyes are too obvious," Hyuga Matsuba said slowly. He had just walked out of the room when Shikaku Nara had fallen asleep and even tried to disguise himself by drawing eyes on his face.
Shikaku Nara chuckled and then pulled out a bag of potato chips from Choza Akimichi's pile of snacks.
When the break time arrived, the teacher came out of the classroom and saw the lively scene in the hallway, she was so angry she didn't know what to say.
Hyuga Matsuba was happily playing with his toy, Nawaki was cheering him on from the side, analyzing the battle situation, Choza had a thick stack of snack bags next to him, and Shikaku was sleeping soundly on the ground.
"You brats, you'll pay for this later!" With that, Ueno Juri returned to the office.
"Is the teacher angry?"
"Don't worry, we always anger Teacher Ueno, it's normal!"
"Nawaki, were those two girls who introduced themselves earlier from your clan?"
"Matsuba, you're amazing, they are indeed from our clan, but they live with the elders. I think I saw them a long time ago," Nawaki thought for a moment.
"The Uzumaki Clan and your clan have always been on good terms. You're probably the only idiot who doesn't know these things," Hyuga Matsuba returned the toy to Nawaki. It was too cold outside, and he felt it would be more comfortable to go back to sleep.
"Tch." Kushina's deskmate returned, her face full of disdain.
Hyuga Matsuba glanced at her indifferently, not wanting to bother with the little girl.
Unexpectedly, Hyuga Matsuba completely ignored her, and Kushina suddenly felt awkward and hit Hyuga Matsuba again.
"Hey, why are you still like this? Are you going to bicker with a girl like me? You hit me first, and you hit so hard."
"I never fight or get angry with little girls."
"Who's a little girl? Which eye of yours saw me as small?" Kushina jumped up.
"Haha, where do you think I think you're small?" Hyuga Matsuba looked at Kushina's flat chest.
"Pah! You're shameless!" Kushina looked defensive, thinking Hyuga Matsuba was a real pervert.
Hyuga Matsuba smiled slightly and said cheekily, "There's nothing to see anyway, why are you covering it? Wait until you grow up and become a young lady, then you can cover it!"
"Shut your mouth!" Kushina was both embarrassed and angry, her face turning red.
"Hey, do you know your nickname is 'Big Apple'? You look quite like it," Hyuga Matsuba whispered in Kushina's ear.
"You're asking for a beating!" Kushina grabbed Hyuga Matsuba's arm and bit him hard.
"Is a cornered dog starting to bite?!" Hyuga Matsuba suppressed the energy surging within him. Fortunately, Hyuga Matsuba reacted quickly; otherwise, Kushina's small teeth would have been in trouble.
The technique Hyuga Matsuba had learned could make his limbs incredibly hard. Although not as powerful as Armament Haki, it was still a significant challenge for Kushina's teeth.
"Hmph," Kushina closed her mouth, spat out some saliva, and whispered curiously, "You look clean and fair, but biting you is like biting a leather shoe, it's hard to bite."
She had used so much force, yet there wasn't the slightest mark on Hyuga Matsuba's arm. Kushina found it incredible.
"Matsuba, what are you two doing here!" Nawaki ran over, having seen what had just happened.
"I told you, you're a Casanova! Mikoto has only rested for such a short time, and you've already hooked up with Kushina. You're a scumbag!" Nawaki once again stood on the moral high ground and said.
Nawaki's voice was incredibly loud, attracting the attention of countless passersby. Everyone looked at Hyuga Matsuba and the girl beside him. Many boys shot hateful glances, but inwardly, they yearned for it.
However, all the girls were jealous of Kushina.
Hyuga Matsuba pouted and said nothing. If he spoke, people would still gossip, so why waste his breath? Besides, there was already a subtle difference between the two of them.
If you asked someone else to bite Hyuga Matsuba's arm, Hyuga Matsuba would definitely break all their teeth without hesitation, giving them no face at all.
"Everyone, don't overthink it, there's nothing between us!" Kushina also felt a bit embarrassed.
"Wow, look at her blushing. Combined with her hair color, doesn't she look like an apple? How can she compare to the cute and beautiful Mikoto? Hyuga Matsuba actually likes this kind of girl, is his brain flooded?"
"You... you..." Kushina started to feel wronged and immediately began to cry.
"Alright, that's enough!" Hyuga Matsuba interrupted coldly.
Hyuga Matsuba seemed genuinely angry. Even the usually mischievous Nawaki obediently restrained himself, and the other classmates also became much more well-behaved.
"Honestly, your hair is quite nice, and your chubby face is also your unique feature. I don't know about anything else, but in this school, only Mikoto is above you. How can other girls be as pretty as you," Hyuga Matsuba said to comfort her.
"Are you telling the truth?" Kushina's eyes welled up with tears, and she whispered.
"Of course, otherwise, look around our class, which girl can compare to you."
"Hmph," Kushina broke into a smile through her tears and wiped them away. "Matsuba, you're a good person. I swear, when I go home later, I'll let you off the hook. I've decided not to beat you for now and spare your life."
Hyuga Matsuba didn't know what to say. This seemingly gentle and weak young girl had been planning to fight after school just now.
