The Sissy Who Stood Up and Mocked Kushina (Seeking Collections, Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

Uchiha Sen felt a bit annoyed.

The classroom, originally a sanctuary for sleeping, was now buzzing like a marketplace, the noise giving him a headache.

He followed the sound and saw a little red-haired girl standing beside the teacher, her face puffed out in anger as she glared at the people talking.

"His hair is so red, like a tomato!"

"Yeah, you can tell he's not from our village. We won't accept someone like that wanting to be Hokage!"

"Right, ugly!"

The vulgar words drilled into his ears, clearing Sen's half-awake consciousness a little.

He remembered, this must be the first day Uzumaki Kushina transferred to their school.

Time flew by so fast, was it already Konoha year 33? He'd been transmigrated to this world for over six years.

Looking closer at the stage, Kushina wasn't ugly at all. Her face was fair with a rosy glow, and her big eyes seemed to speak, full of stubborn defiance.

She was much cuter than those foul-mouthed brats.

Sen's gaze swept over the brats, and one of them was from the Shimura clan.

The moment he thought of the surname "Shimura," his eyes grew colder.

"Hey," Sen said coldly, "you're disturbing my sleep. Either shut your mouths, or in the sparring class this afternoon, I'll beat your mouths until they swell."

The mockery instantly choked off.

The brats stiffened and slowly turned to look at the corner of the last row. Sure enough, they saw that cold face.

It was Uchiha Sen!

Damn it, if they could beat him, they would have rushed him long ago!

Though resentful, the brats obediently shut up.

In their eyes, Uchiha Sen and another genius in the class, Namikaze Minato, were polar opposites.

Minato was sunny and approachable, while Sen was a typical aloof Uchiha, acting like the whole world owed him money.

Seeing the classroom quiet down, Sen continued to bury his head and date the daughter of Duke Hades.

Just then, Minato, who had stood up, looked back at Sen with a pained expression:

Can't you let me finish my lines before you speak? I had such beautiful words prepared!

The teacher on the podium also breathed a sigh of relief. "Kushina, you can sit in the second-to-last row. Yes, the seat next to that girl."

Kushina nodded and walked to her seat with her textbooks.

She had promised Sister Tsunade she would study hard, but at that moment, she couldn't help but sneak a glance back at Sen in the last row.

Black hair, fair skin, a high nose bridge; even his sleeping profile was so handsome.

More importantly, he had helped her out!

He would definitely be the first friend I make in Konoha!

As for those who mocked me earlier, I'll definitely beat them up when I get the chance!

And that skinny, effeminate blonde guy! How hateful, he even stood up and mocked me!

As noon approached, Sen, who had slept all morning, felt someone poking his arm.

He looked up and met a head of striking yellow, spiky hair.

"Sen, stop sleeping, it's time to eat!" Minato grinned sunnily.

"Time flies when you're studying hard," Sen yawned and stretched lazily, slowly taking out his bento box. "As expected of you, Minato, you're even a step ahead when it comes to eating."

Minato chuckled, his chopsticks already aimed at Sen's lunchbox, playfully making a few scooping motions. "You must have been training all night again, huh? What delicious food are we having today to replenish us?"

"Braised chicken wings and beef slices," Sen said as he opened his lunchbox, the aroma wafting out. "Can't be helped, you know how we Uchihas are..."

Before he could finish, Minato had already swiftly grabbed a chicken wing and a few slices of beef, stuffing them into his mouth and praising them indistinctly.

Damn it, this guy is like a starving ghost!

At this moment, the delicious smell from the back row also whetted Kushina's appetite, and she took out her own bento.

Thinking of Sister Tsunade's smiling words that morning, "This is the first time I've ever prepared a bento for someone else, not even Nawaki experienced this," she knew the bento must taste great!

She eagerly opened the lunchbox, but the food presented before her instantly killed her appetite. The dark, mushy side dishes were almost unrecognizable, emitting only a burnt smell.

It was truly unappetizing; only the white rice beside it was decent.

Decent my foot, isn't cooked white rice just cooked white rice!

Kushina was so dejected her hair seemed to float up. She was from the Uzumaki Clan, and this body consumed a lot of calories!

And she had just smelled everyone else's delicious food, and now looking at this strange bento... it was too hard to accept!

Just as she was about to pinch her nose and make do, Sen's voice came from behind her:

"Hey, new classmate, can you help me with some of this? Minato said he's trying to lose weight today."

Having been a left-behind child for over a decade in his previous life, Sen had already smelled the burning odor.

Before Kushina could react, several fragrant chicken wings landed in her lunchbox. The other person didn't wait for her thanks before returning to their seat.

She lowered her head, looking at the extra chicken wings:

Damn it, how can I eat food from a stranger!

I, Kushina, am destined to be the woman of the Hokage... but these chicken wings are really fragrant, and they look delicious...

After a moment of hesitation, she picked up a chicken wing, took a bite, and with her mouth slightly open, her eyes were full of little stars: "So good!"

After eating two more, Kushina turned back to thank Sen.

At the same time, she saw Minato and gave him an unfriendly look before turning back to scold him:

Hmph, just as I thought, a sissy. A big guy like him is actually on a diet!

After the lunch break was the afternoon sparring class.

The instructor, Murashita Ryukawa, saw that everyone was present and took out the roll call list: "This is a regular test, so try your best!"

He ignored the groans from below and continued, "What are you howling about! When you become a ninja in the future, will the enemy show you mercy just because you cry out? First match, Uchiha Sen versus Shimura Saburo!"

"Teacher! Why is it me again!" Shimura Saburo wailed with a crestfallen face, "I can't beat him at all. You should arrange for Minato to fight him, right?"

Murashita Ryukawa's veins bulged: "Can you choose your enemies on the battlefield? Stop the nonsense and get on the stage!"

One minute later, Shimura Saburo's chest took three solid punches and he lay on the ground, convincingly playing dead.

Sen casually finished the hand seal for reconciliation and turned to leave. After all, the mere thought of the surname Shimura, and that sinister Shimura Danzō, made him want to strangle the entire Shimura clan!

It's a pity my strength isn't enough yet!

He walked to the side and began doing push-ups with one hand, continuing his training.

The shadows of the Second and Third Great Ninja Wars, as well as the suppression of the Uchiha by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō, weighed on him like a mountain.

This was simply a life-or-death start. To survive, he had to desperately become stronger.

He did push-ups while muttering softly:

Damn Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō, just you wait. I, Uchiha Sen, will eventually set things right!

Just as his thoughts were churning, the teacher encountered a small problem.

"Ah, how could I forget, there's also student Kushina." Murashita Ryukawa slapped his forehead. To help the new student integrate quickly, he suggested, "Kushina, you just arrived, and I don't know your strength yet. How about you choose a classmate to spar with?"

Kushina immediately stood up and pointed at Sen, who was training alone, with a smile.

"Are you sure, student Kushina?" Murashita Ryukawa tried to dissuade her.

Kushina nodded heavily: "I want to challenge Uchiha Sen to a one-on-one fight!"

The whole class was in an uproar.

Sen, on the edge of the group, heard her words, his eyes full of confusion. He walked to Kushina's opposite: "Wasn't the bento tasty? Are you going to hit me after eating?"

Kushina savored the memory and honestly replied, "It was delicious, and you're a good person."

"A good person shouldn't be pointed at like this." Sen was already getting annoyed.

Kushina had a strange look of fantasy on her face: "Hehe, you're the only one I know. If I win, you have to buy my lunch for the whole semester."

Murashita Ryukawa shook his head, dismissing it as a young girl's competitive spirit, and said helplessly, "Let's begin. Sen, go easy on her."

The two completed the hand seal for opposition, and Sen's figure instantly vanished from his spot.

Kushina only saw a blur before her eyes, but relying on instinct, she poured all her strength into her small fist and shouted as she swung: "For lunch!"

Sen looked at the unorganized punch and shook his head inwardly. He squatted down to dodge her fist and followed up with a sweeping leg attack.

"Bang!"

Kushina immediately lost her balance and fell sideways.

It's over, I'm going to fall on my face on the first day of school! I shouldn't have challenged Sen! Why didn't I challenge that blonde kid?!

Also, why is this guy so unchivalrous!

Just as she thought she was about to make intimate contact with the ground, a pair of strong arms caught her steadily.

She was half-lying in his embrace, and when she looked up, she met Sen's cold and handsome face.

Huh? Didn't the teacher say it was over? Why is he still staring at me? Could it be...

Sen was indeed staring at her, but not at her face.

The moment he caught her, a line of blue, ethereal text suddenly appeared in his vision.

At this moment, the text flickered again and directly transformed into a clearer blue panel.
