Watching Yuki Yuichi's rapid pace, Nohara Rin looked at the ointment she had prepared in her hand and shook her head with a hint of disappointment.

"I was ready to go up and help treat them."

"But it's better for them to go to the infirmary than for me to handle it."

"Obito, those two are so strong."

As Nohara Rin spoke, a brilliant smile bloomed on her face. She then looked at Uchiha Obito and added, "We have to work hard too."

Seeing Nohara Rin's radiant smile, Uchiha Obito clenched his hands and bluffed, "I was just about to go up and stop them."

"It's a pity they finished just as I was getting ready to step in."

Watching Uchiha Obito's display, Nohara Rin gave a sweet smile, choosing not to expose him. "Obito is great too."

"Heh heh." Hearing her praise, Uchiha Obito scratched his head and gave a silly grin. "I guess so... heh heh..."

Ahead of them, Yuhi Kurenai watched Yuki Yuichi dragging Kakashi toward the infirmary. She pursed her lips and began to jog after them.

Although she wasn't as strong as Yuki Yuichi or Kakashi, and her physique didn't match theirs, she had at least begun to refine chakra.

Channeling chakra into her legs, Yuhi Kurenai's speed was remarkably fast.

Under the gaze of the crowd, her figure flickered, and she instantly surged forward.

"That's amazing." A civilian girl who had been standing next to Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but let a flash of envy cross her eyes as she saw the speed.

Although she had enrolled and could learn the chakra refinement method, she knew that she might never catch up to these classmates who had started refining chakra early.

As Yuhi Kurenai gave chase, the teachers watching the commotion from the office closed their windows.

They could naturally tell that Kakashi hadn't sustained any major injuries.

If there had been any real damage, someone would have rushed down long ago.

"Where am I? Why can't I breathe..." Kakashi groggily opened his eyes, but his first sensation was that he couldn't catch his breath.

As he regained a bit more clarity, he realized his heels were dragging on the ground, and someone was pulling him by the back of his collar toward some unknown destination.

Kakashi immediately began to struggle.

"Oh?" Sensing Kakashi's movement, Yuki Yuichi let out a surprised sound, then stopped and released his grip on the back of Kakashi's collar.

As Yuki Yuichi let go, Kakashi's backside hit the ground with a thud, sending a jolt through his body that left his mind reeling.

"You actually woke up so fast."

Yuki Yuichi was genuinely curious; that kick of his had been heavy, landing directly on Kakashi's chin, yet he had managed to wake up this quickly.

Hearing Yuki Yuichi's words, Kakashi shook off his dazed state, stood up from the ground, and hissed in pain while rubbing his backside.

The ground was hard, and Yuki Yuichi had been dragging him from a significant height; without any cushion, the impact had left his head spinning.

While rubbing his backside and sucking in cold air, Kakashi replied, "I've been soaking in medicinal baths since I was a child, so my physique is much stronger than the average person's."

He didn't dislike Yuki Yuichi as much anymore. Although he had lost, it had been a fair and square fight, and he respected the result.

"Oh." Yuki Yuichi finally realized. While the Hatake clan wasn't a major family, their strength couldn't be underestimated, and his father, Hatake Sakumo, was known as the White Fang of the Leaf.

Providing Kakashi with medicinal baths was certainly no difficult task.

Just as the two fell into silence, Yuhi Kurenai caught up. Seeing Kakashi rubbing his backside while Yuki Yuichi stared unblinkingly at his crotch, she froze in place.

The scene looked incredibly strange from any angle.

Even though she knew nothing could possibly be going on between them, Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but let her imagination wander—though in the world of Naruto, it was quite reasonable.

After all, this world was famous for its precociousness.

"You... you two?" Yuhi Kurenai pointed at Kakashi and looked at Yuki Yuichi with a frown.

"Kurenai, you're here." Yuki Yuichi's face lit up with joy when he saw her, ignoring her frown.

"This guy is fine now."

"We can go get something to eat."

"Oh, okay." Hearing this, Yuhi Kurenai stopped dwelling on the situation and immediately went off to eat with Yuki Yuichi.

Kakashi stood in place, watching their retreating backs, momentarily at a loss for words.

He had wanted to discuss the previous spar and review his mistakes with Yuki Yuichi.

But seeing the two of them, Kakashi decided not to make a fool of himself.

"Oh, Kakashi!" Just as Kakashi was about to leave, someone else chased after him.

Might Guy saw Kakashi silently rubbing his backside and immediately jumped out. "My eternal rival, are you alright?"

Looking at the overly familiar Might Guy, Kakashi ignored him.

Among all his classmates, only a handful could pique his interest.

And clearly, Might Guy was not among them.

However, Kakashi's coldness didn't make Might Guy give up; instead, he became even more enthusiastic.

"Want to eat together? I can share some of my bento with you!"

"My dad made me a beef bento, you know!"

"No thanks, I'm fine."

Kakashi walked ahead, while Might Guy kept talking behind him.

Meanwhile, Yuki Yuichi and Yuhi Kurenai were heading in the exact opposite direction from the two of them.

"Yuichi, what are we having for lunch?" Yuhi Kurenai rubbed her little tummy.

She had eaten in the morning, but not very much, and by noon, she was indeed starting to feel hungry.

However, Yuhi Shinku hadn't prepared a bento for either of them; it was unclear if he had forgotten or what the reason was.

Hearing Yuhi Kurenai's words, Yuki Yuichi grinned, "We're going out to eat, of course!"

Yuhi Shinku hadn't prepared a bento, but based on his understanding of this daughter-obsessed man, even if he had forgotten, he should have realized it by now.

"Yuichi, did Dad give you money?" Yuhi Kurenai asked curiously upon hearing his words.

Yuki Yuichi shook his head, "No."

"But I have a feeling Uncle Shinku is right at the school gate."

"Eh?" Yuhi Kurenai blinked her watery, wide eyes and looked at him in surprise.

"Uncle Shinku is quite reliable, after all." Yuki Yuichi didn't explain further, instead taking her small hand and walking toward the school gate.

A moment later.

Hiss, how should I phrase this so Kurenai won't be angry...

As Yuhi Shinku stood at the school gate pondering how to keep his daughter from getting upset, he looked up just in time to see Yuki Yuichi and the girl jogging toward him, hand in hand.

Seeing this, Yuhi Shinku, who had been deep in thought, took a deep breath and forced a smile onto his face. Just as he was about to speak, Yuhi Kurenai's pleasantly surprised voice reached his ears.

"Yuichi, you're amazing!"

"Dad is actually here!"

Hearing Yuhi Kurenai's praise, Yuki Yuichi immediately puffed out his chest and held his head high, "Of course, I am Yuki Yuichi, after all!"
