Stay Away From Blondes, Like That White-Haired Copy Ninja

Yuki Yuichi held Yuhi Kurenai's small hand as they walked along the school building. "Kurenai, let me tell you, there are a lot of blondes at the Ninja Academy. If you run into any, you must tell me."

Yuki Yuichi said this while putting on a fierce expression. "They are very dangerous people."

Seeing Yuki Yuichi's exaggerated look, Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but beam with a smile, jumping up to pat the top of his head.

"Is that the kind of blonde you're talking about?" Yuhi Kurenai asked, pointing toward a spiky-haired blonde youth not far away.

"Hmm..." Yuki Yuichi looked at the youth she was pointing at and couldn't help but rub his chin.

"That's not the kind of blonde I meant."

"Then what kind?"

"It's... it's just..." Yuki Yuichi struggled to describe it for a moment. Just as he was stammering, he saw Kakashi Hatake walk past him. His eyes lit up, and he grabbed him, saying to Yuhi Kurenai:

"It's this kind—the type that looks decent on the outside, but is actually a guy who likes to flirt with little girls."

Kakashi: "..."

Since when did he like to flirt with little girls...

Yuki Yuichi wasn't finished yet, still gripping his arm. "Look, this Copy Ninja wears a mask and has those dead-fish eyes. Anyone who likes to go around flirting with young girls is collectively referred to as a 'blonde'."

"If you meet someone like this, you have to stay far away."

Yuki Yuichi was still talking, but a voice suddenly appeared behind him.

"You little brat, can you not point at me while you're talking about others?"

"That is really very rude."

Hearing the voice, Yuki Yuichi turned his head. "Big sister, you are so beautiful."

"Hahaha, is that so?" Kushina couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing someone call her beautiful.

"Where is this big sister beautiful?"

"Your hair is beautiful!" Yuki Yuichi gave Kushina a thumbs-up, then lifted his own hair, which was a similar color to hers.

"This is a color exclusive to handsome guys and beautiful girls!"

"Little brat, I didn't realize you had such good taste!" Seeing Yuki Yuichi's antics, Kushina couldn't help but reach out and ruffle his hair.

"You three are the new students enrolling today, right?" Minato Namikaze, the one called a blonde, looked at the three little ones and spoke gently.

He didn't seem at all annoyed by being called a blonde.

Kakashi Hatake nodded when he saw Minato Namikaze asking the three of them.

Yuhi Kurenai apologized with an apologetic look on her face: "I'm so sorry, Yuichi didn't mean it."

"We are the new students enrolling today."

Hearing this, Minato Namikaze waved his hand dismissively. "That's great. We were just like you once."

Yuki Yuichi smiled at this, darting to Yuhi Kurenai's side, draping one arm over her shoulder and the other over the still-struggling Kakashi.

"The legend of the ninja world sets sail today!"

Seeing him like this, Kushina couldn't help but chuckle.

"Well then, future legend of the ninja world, what is your name?"

"Yuichi, Yuki Yuichi!"

"The future God of Shinobi!"

Yuki Yuichi said, giving Kushina and Minato Namikaze a thumbs-up and flashing a set of bright, white teeth.

Hearing his self-introduction, Kushina couldn't help but laugh out loud. While laughing, she leaned on Minato Namikaze's shoulder and mimicked his style to introduce herself:

"My name is Kushina, Uzumaki Kushina."

"Konoha's first future female Hokage!"

Minato Namikaze shook his head helplessly from the side; Kushina was still as boisterous as ever.

"Kushina, we should go."

"Lord Hokage is still waiting for us."

"I know, I know. What's the harm in letting that old man wait a little longer?" Kushina pouted dismissively; she had no respect for Sarutobi Hiruzen at all.

In fact, that was the truth. As a descendant of the Uzumaki clan and the current Nine-Tails jinchuriki, she could walk through Konoha however she pleased.

Even if she blew up Danzo's Root, nothing would happen to her.

Being a Nine-Tails jinchuriki meant having that kind of confidence!

Watching the two walk further and further away, Yuhi Kurenai scratched her head. "That big sister looks so beautiful and confident."

"I want to become someone like that in the future!"

Looking at Yuhi Kurenai, who was biting her lip and clenching her hands in front of her chest, Yuki Yuichi laughed and pulled her in. "Don't worry, you will definitely become a beautiful and powerful kunoichi."

"Yeah!" Yuhi Kurenai nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then looked at Yuki Yuichi with a smile, her eyes curving into crescents.

"Yuichi will definitely become a legend of the ninja world in the future, too!"

"Kurenai!"

"Yuichi!"

The two gazed at each other, leaving Kakashi, who stood to the side, feeling thoroughly nauseated.

"Hey, Kakashi left." They stared at one another for a long while, only breaking the contact when Yuhi Kurenai shyly lowered her head, but she soon noticed that Kakashi, who had been right beside them, was gone.

"That Copy Ninja is truly excessive, actually leaving us behind to go off on his own."

Seeing that Yuki Yuichi was about to say something more, Yuhi Kurenai grabbed his hand and began running toward the school building, saying as they ran, "Let's go too, class is about to start."

The Ninja Academy was vast, and their class assignment only told them they had both been placed in Class 1-A.

There were no signs or directions along the way.

It seemed the first lesson of being a ninja had already begun.

The first lesson: information gathering and investigation.

However, this had nothing to do with Yuhi Kurenai or Yuki Yuichi.

As the precious daughter and adopted son of Yuhi Shinku, the two of them did not need to investigate such things.

Because when they had previously come to the Ninja Academy to register with Yuhi Shinku, he had already told them exactly where the classroom was...

Perhaps this was the benefit of having connections...

When the two arrived at the classroom, they discovered they were the last ones to arrive.

"We have to separate." Yuhi Kurenai looked around and saw two seats left, but they were separated by some distance, which left her feeling somewhat disappointed.

"I thought I would be able to sit with Yuichi-kun."

Yuhi Kurenai visibly wilted, and Yuki Yuichi looked around as well, finding that it was indeed as she had said.

However, while looking around, he spotted two acquaintances, and his eyes immediately lit up as he took Yuhi Kurenai's small hand and walked over.

As they scanned the room, the people in the classroom were also looking at them.

Upon seeing Yuhi Kurenai, the male students in the classroom were as energized as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

"Kawaii!"

"So cute!"

"She's the cutest girl I've ever seen!"

And when they saw Yuki Yuichi, the female students had the same reaction, though they were praising his handsome looks.

Yuki Yuichi was not bad-looking; his seven-out-of-ten appearance paired with his red hair gave him a somewhat roguish, handsome air.

Especially with that roguish charm combined with his vibrant energy, he was practically a heartthrob for the young girls.

However, when they saw Yuhi Kurenai and Yuki Yuichi holding hands, they immediately wilted.

In an instant, regardless of gender, the entire classroom was filled with sighs of lament.
