Heaven Doesn't Give Birth to Me, Cat Cafe Person! [Seeking Recommendation Tickets]

Chapter 49: Heaven Did Not Give Birth to Me, Toneri! [Seeking Recommendation Tickets]

Dragged and tormented by Tsunade until midnight, with occasional physical assaults.

Looking at it this way, Orochimaru seems a bit gentler?

Besides always playing with those creepy, slippery snakes, he also speaks eerily, and always licks his tongue, and...

Forget it, Tsunade is also the type of person who plays with slippery, sticky things.

The next morning, even with the help of the Two-Tails, Toneri couldn't recover immediately, mainly due to the lack of rest time.

So, Toneri decided to rest for the morning and let his shadow clones go train with Minato in the small forest, while he would take a good rest during class. Tsunade's fists from last night left him feeling sore all over.

If you don't sleep in class, can you even say you've attended it?

Anyway, their agreement was for the afternoon, as everyone had their own things to deal with. It was just that Toneri and Minato were more diligent, so they went early.

As for Kushina, she ate with them in the small forest after finishing her morning classes, and skipped the afternoon classes.

Don't let Kushina's fearless appearance fool you; she's actually a dutiful person at heart. Skipping half a day of class was already the limit she could accept.

It was only because she considered Toneri and Minato true friends that she would probably skip class in the afternoon.

He walked listlessly towards the Ninja Academy.

It was strange, this was the first time Toneri was personally attending class at the Ninja Academy after reporting there. Normally, his shadow clones would attend in his stead.

After Orochimaru took him as a disciple, the number of Anbu Ninjas secretly monitoring him decreased.

Now, it was mostly necessary security surveillance, like with Kushina, rather than preventing him from going berserk or acting out.

With daily contact with Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi's trust in Toneri increased dramatically.

However, Orochimaru himself was a low-key person, so most people in Konoha didn't know he had taken a disciple.

Toneri was also very pleased about this; he didn't want everyone to know he was Orochimaru's disciple wherever he went. The fewer people who knew, the better.

He was a little excited about going to school today.

According to the plots of the novels he had read, someone should be displeased with his "arrogant" way of doing things, jump out to be severely beaten by him, and that person would also be a disciple of some clan. Then, an elder from the clan would appear, he would announce Orochimaru's name, and the other party would be so terrified they'd wet their pants and beg for mercy...

Although this plot was cliché, honestly... he was slightly looking forward to it.

He strolled leisurely through the streets of Konoha.

At the same time, he sent out shadow clones to meet Minato by the river. Yesterday, he learned a new technique from Tsunade to train his Chakra control, and today was a good opportunity to try it out.

"Huh? Kushina, why are you ignoring me?" Toneri saw the conspicuous Kushina at the school entrance, her vibrant red hair.

Seeing Toneri jogging up to her, Kushina gave him an annoyed glare. Was he asking the obvious?

Didn't he know what he did last night? Did he have any idea?

Toneri scratched the back of his head, not understanding her gaze, and shook his head, following her.

Women's hearts are like needles in the sea...

"The Blood Red Pepper is here, run everyone!"

"The red-haired devil is here, retreat quickly!"

"..."

As soon as Kushina entered the school gate, she could hear various exclamations of fear directed at her.

Hearing these voices, Kushina subconsciously frowned. She clenched her fists tightly, then relaxed them.

She quickened her pace towards the classroom.

Although her classmates had mocked her before, they at least didn't openly ridicule her. Besides, they had been classmates for so many years, and these students had mostly accepted her existence.

So even during breaks, Kushina would just sit at her desk and never leave the classroom unless absolutely necessary.

She had heard these voices for several years. From indignant anger at first, to fighting back, and now to silently enduring, she had grown accustomed to being called names.

But just because she could accept it didn't mean others could.

Toneri's expression turned serious.

He knew that many people at school disliked Kushina, especially her red hair, which was why she herself disliked her hair.

This was the first time he had entered the school gate with Kushina, and he only then realized the situation she faced every day.

Kushina's heart must be very complicated right now.

There was anger, there was grievance, and more likely, there was disgust towards her own hair.

He retracted his playful, somewhat lazy smile, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.

For some reason, Toneri felt a bit angry. Angry at those who kept mocking Kushina, and angry at Kushina herself.

Since you chose to resolve the mockery with violence before, why are you holding back your violence now?

Yes, even if you beat them up severely, they would continue to mock you after a while.

Then keep beating them! Beat them until they are afraid, until they submit!

If they never fear you, then beat them until they can't speak, until they dare not speak!

The more they retreated at times like these, the more aggressive the others became.

However, it wasn't entirely Kushina's fault. The other children all had parents who would report to the teachers, and the teachers would then inform Hiruzen Sarutobi, the principal.

Hiruzen Sarutobi would surely rein Kushina in.

In the end, these children believed their own parents' intervention had intimidated her, which is why they became increasingly aggressive, just like now.

They mistook Kushina's patience for her retreat and fear.

For some reason, Toneri suddenly thought of Naruto, who would later be condemned by everyone.

He also thought of himself, another Jinchūriki.

Was this the fate of a Jinchūriki? Even if others didn't know she was a Jinchūriki, they instinctively rejected her existence.

He, Toneri, refused to believe it!

Why should Jinchūriki, while enduring immense pressure from within their bodies, also have to endure all sorts of accusations and ridicule from the outside world?

Just as Kushina felt a sense of kinship when she learned he was a Jinchūriki, he too felt a certain kinship when he looked at her, even if he didn't say it.

Getting beaten up was one thing, but it didn't hinder their friendship. Both Minato and Kushina had become true friends to Toneri.

He had to admit, Hiruzen Sarutobi's move left Toneri so satisfied that he ate it all up, even wanting to exclaim "So good!" and give it a thumbs-up.

He clenched his fist and walked towards the people who had been shouting the loudest.

Noticing Toneri's action, Kushina reached out to grab him, but unfortunately, he, having been prepared, dodged her.

"Toneri, no! They're..." She was about to say it when she saw Toneri appear before the other party with lightning speed, faster than a startled snake.

He looked up at the guy who was clearly a head taller than him. On the front of the other guy's shirt was a distinct flame Gunbai.

With a disdainful smile on his face, he looked down at Toneri mockingly, "Brat, you want to be the first to stick your neck out?"

"Don't misunderstand, I don't mean anything else, I just want to... beat you to death!"

Toneri flicked his hand.

BOOM--

Without hesitation, he put all his strength into a punch that landed squarely on the other guy's face.

He was sent flying immediately.

Completely caught off guard.

Finally, he could show off his skills. This was the first step to becoming Konoha's little white fang.

If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, Cat Cafe Toneri, the path of ultimate badassery would be as brittle as a blade!

Bonus chapter added! Bonus chapter added! I'm always told my chapters are too short, so even during the new book period, I'll add one. After all, I need to prove myself occasionally. However, my true strength will only be displayed after the official release. You guys wait, don't leave after school!

If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, Chang Jin Mu, the bonus chapters would be as long as the night!
