Don't Think You're So Great Just Because You're Handsome!

After changing into clean clothes, Hiko looked at the clothes torn to shreds on the ground and sighed softly. Sure enough, high-intensity training caused heavy wear and tear on clothing. Not just clothing—even ninja tools were the same.

Shuriken and Kunai—those things all took a hefty amount of money to buy.

Ninja was indeed a money-burning profession. Various ninja tools and scrolls alone cost quite a bit, and with the constant refining of Chakra, nutrition had to keep up as well. That meant Hiko needed to improve his daily diet.

Money, more money!!!

He had never expected that after crossing into the Hokage World, where strength reigned supreme, he would still have headaches over money. Thinking of that, Hiko could not help but laugh.

Because his mind was full of random thoughts, Hiko slowed down a little. By the time he entered the classroom, most of the other students had already arrived.

"Uchiha Hiko!!!"

Before Hiko could even sit down, Tsunade, still thoroughly unconvinced, came over. Yesterday's loss had left her frustrated all night. She could not understand why she had lost!!! Why had she lost!!!

No, she had to win back her pride. When had Tsunade ever suffered such a loss?

And so, Tsunade, eager for revenge, came straight over the next day.

Tsunade's shout brought Hiko back to his senses. Looking at her unwilling expression, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. This little girl still refused to give up?

"What? Didn't we agree yesterday that after I won, you couldn't keep glaring at me? Have you forgotten after just one night, or are you, Tsunade, someone who dares to act but not take responsibility?"

"N-Nonsense!!!"

Tsunade immediately lost some of her momentum, but she stubbornly retorted anyway. Did she look like the kind of person who went back on her word?

"Then sit properly and stop glaring at me." Hiko pointed at her seat.

Tsunade sat down with her little arms folded, puffing her cheeks. Hiko nodded in satisfaction and sat in his seat, waiting for Teacher to begin class. Little did he know that the group of brats around them had all widened their eyes, unable to believe what they had just seen.

The lawless Princess Tsunade actually obediently listened to Uchiha Hiko? Were their eyes playing tricks on them, or were they dreaming?

Am I dreaming?

Jiraiya pinched his own face hard, thinking his eyes were deceiving him. Even Orochimaru was astonished. Hiko had actually managed to make the violent Tsunade quiet down? That made no sense.

"No!! Why did I listen to him?!"

Under everyone's strange gazes, Tsunade quickly came to her senses. Her cute little face instantly turned red. She whipped her head around to glare at Hiko, and just as she was about to explode, Hiko winked at her playfully.

Furious, Tsunade slammed a hand on the desk and stood up. "Uchiha Hiko, stop making eyes at me!! I'm not falling for that! Don't think you can run wild just because you're handsome. Let's make another bet!!"

"..."

Hiko froze for a moment, then could not help laughing. He coughed lightly and said nothing.

Hiko was stunned, and everyone else was no better off, including Teacher, who had just entered the classroom. Teacher looked blankly at Hiko and Tsunade, then coughed and said, "All right, class is starting. As for flirting, save it until after class."

Flirting? With Uchiha Hiko?

Tsunade felt as if her little brain was no longer working. She did not recover for a long while. Because of Teacher's remark, every brat in the room stared at the two of them, including Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

Before long, Tsunade's little face gradually turned red. The looks she gave Hiko and Teacher became a little fierce, like a tigress ready to devour someone. Seeing her fists clench tighter and tighter, it was clear that Tsunade was angry.

When Tsunade got angry, it was no small matter!!!

At least, that was what most people thought. Very few people dared provoke Tsunade—not just in their class or grade, but even among the upperclassmen, few were willing to provoke her.

Even though everyone's status was equal at the academy.

Tsunade was only five years old, but when she exploded, she could beat someone half to death. And after beating you, there was nowhere to reason with her.

Report it to Teacher, or go directly to the Senju Clan?

Even bringing out the Third Hokage would be useless. As long as no one died, getting beaten meant getting beaten for nothing. No one liked getting brutally beaten up with nowhere to complain afterward. As for medical fees, did that even matter?

Hiko pretended not to see anything and continued listening to class. Teacher, who was teaching, certainly would not care. It was just a joke, after all. No matter how bold Tsunade was, she would not dare hit Teacher directly.

"Huff~~~"

"Huff~~~"

After fiercely glaring at everyone staring at her, Tsunade took several deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. She absolutely could not lose her temper right now.

The person who said it was Teacher. If it had been anyone else, Tsunade would have exploded long ago. She would never endure it. The word "patience" occupied a part of her dictionary that was not worth paying attention to.

"Uchiha Hiko!!!"
