The Innately Evil Yuki Yuichi!

Yuki Yuichi returned to the classroom, and the first thing that met his eyes was the worried gaze of Yuhi Kurenai.

Seeing her expression, Yuki Yuichi smiled, gently pulled her into a hug, and patted her small head with one hand.

"Alright, alright, it's fine."

The others around them witnessed this scene, and their expressions immediately soured as if they had just swallowed something foul.

Uchiha Obito glanced at Nohara Rin, his eyes filled with a touch of envy.

He wanted to be like that with Rin, too!

Uchiha Obito thought silently to himself, then looked at Yuki Yuichi, who was still hugging Yuhi Kurenai, and gritted his teeth in his heart: That naturally evil Yuki Yuichi!

Nohara Rin watched the pair, feeling a bit envious herself. She glanced at Kakashi Hatake, who was standing to the side with a dark face, then looked back at Uchiha Obito and offered him a smile.

"So, what are you all doing here?" Yuki Yuichi pulled away from Yuhi Kurenai, looked at the group, and asked curiously, "School's out, shouldn't you all be heading home?"

"Everyone was a bit worried about you." Yuhi Kurenai stood by his side, noticing the gazes of the others, and explained with a shy blush on her face, "So everyone was waiting here for you."

Hearing Yuhi Kurenai's words, Yuki Yuichi paused. He looked at the group, feeling a touch of warmth in his heart, and explained, "It's alright."

"The teacher just called me in to ask where we went this morning."

"From now on, we only need to show up at the classroom before morning classes start, and then we can go off to train." Yuki Yuichi said, flashing a smile at everyone.

"However, we must come to class in the afternoon."

"Really?" Uchiha Obito's eyes widened at the news, and he began to get excited.

"Of course it's true." Yuki Yuichi nodded, then spread his arms and laughed, "In short, we're free!"

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing his reaction, Kakashi Hatake sighed. Although he didn't know why he had felt a chill running down his spine earlier, this could be considered a good thing.

From now on, he could skip class openly and honestly.

Not bad.

The group chatted happily for a little while before heading off to their respective homes.

Walking on the road, Yuhi Kurenai looked at Yuki Yuichi, hesitating for a moment before finally asking, "Yuichi, is there something wrong with Kakashi?"

"Hm? Why do you ask?" Yuki Yuichi looked at her in surprise.

"Because you kept looking at Kakashi while you were talking earlier." Yuhi Kurenai said seriously, her index finger pressed against her lower lip.

"Yuichi only makes that expression when he's setting a trap for someone."

Having grown up with Yuki Yuichi, Yuhi Kurenai understood him better than she understood her own father.

Hearing her words, Yuki Yuichi draped an arm over her shoulder and chuckled, "It's not really setting a trap for him."

"It's just that the teacher thought that guy Kakashi was leading us astray."

"I realized the teacher had that idea, so I just happened to mention that Kakashi was the one who took us to the training grounds."

Watching Yuki Yuichi's grinning face, Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but laugh.

"Yuichi, you're so bad~"

"Do you like it, then?"

"Mm... I like it..." Yuhi Kurenai lowered her small head, nodded like a quail, and replied in a very small voice.

When the two arrived home, Yuhi Shinku was already waiting at the dining table.

"Tadaima!" x2

Hearing them, Yuhi Shinku looked toward the door, saw the two of them, and smiled.

"You're back?"

"You two are later than yesterday."

Yuhi Shinku said, looking at Yuki Yuichi with a feigned fierce expression, and growled, "It must be because you brat were dawdling on the way home!"

"Dad!" Yuhi Kurenai puffed out her cheeks and pouted, "You aren't allowed to say that about Yuichi!"

The fierce expression on Yuhi Shinku's face froze.

Wasn't it said that a daughter is a father's little cotton-padded jacket?

Why was his own one different?

Yuhi Shinku fell into a state of doubt.

Rather than being his little cotton-padded jacket, Yuhi Kurenai was more like the little cotton-padded jacket for this brat, Yuki Yuichi.

Yuki Yuichi looked at Yuhi Shinku, offered an awkward but polite smile, and then, under the gaze of his future father-in-law, sat down at the table without ceremony.

"I'm so hungry." Yuki Yuichi said, rubbing his stomach.

He hadn't eaten much at noon, just grabbing a quick bite, and now he was so hungry he felt like his stomach was sticking to his spine.

Seeing that he was genuinely hungry, Yuhi Shinku didn't press the matter further and brought out the food.

"Eat."

Yuki Yuichi's eyes glowed red at the sight of the food, and looking as if he had been starving for ages, he began to wolf it down.

Seeing this, Yuhi Shinku turned his gaze toward his daughter, feeling curious while simultaneously frowning. "What is wrong with him?"

Yuhi Kurenai was also eating, her mouth stuffed full as she mumbled indistinctly, "Yuichi had a match with Kakashi, so he used up too much energy."

Yuki Yuichi possessed the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan, granting him a naturally powerful physique, but a powerful physique also meant a greater consumption of energy.

Therefore, his appetite was much larger than that of an ordinary person.

Coupled with the excessive energy expenditure from his spar with Kakashi Hatake today and the fact that he hadn't eaten much at lunch, he was naturally famished to the point of feeling hollow.

Even Yuhi Kurenai's appetite had increased significantly today.

She had been practicing ninjutsu all morning, and the use of ninjutsu required the consumption of chakra, regardless of whether the technique was successful or not.

Chakra was born from the combination of energy within the body's cells and spiritual energy, so the consumption of chakra meant the depletion of both physical strength and mental stamina.

Practicing ninjutsu for an entire morning was no less taxing than a session of intense exercise.

Over the course of the meal, Yuhi Shinku listened to the bits and pieces shared by Yuki Yuichi and Yuhi Kurenai, eventually gaining an understanding of what had happened to them today.

Once they finished eating, Yuhi Kurenai rubbed her little belly with a look of satisfaction, though she felt a bit puzzled when she looked at her father.

"Dad, aren't you going to eat?"

Yuhi Shinku hadn't eaten yet, and seeing the state of Yuki Yuichi and Yuhi Kurenai, he knew that if he were to eat now, there wouldn't be enough left.

However, he couldn't say that out loud, so Yuhi Shinku immediately smiled and said, "I already ate before you two got back."

Yuki Yuichi had finished his meal by this point, and he wasn't as easily fooled as Yuhi Kurenai.

Glancing at the bowls and chopsticks in front of Yuhi Shinku, he said, "Stop lying, you haven't eaten yet."

As he spoke, Yuki Yuichi looked at the empty bowls on the table, then scratched his head and looked at Yuhi Shinku, saying sheepishly, "How about we go out for ramen?"

"No need," Yuhi Shinku refused, then added, "I really have eaten."

"I was planning on having a little more with you two, but seeing how hungry you were, I decided against it."

As he spoke, Yuhi Shinku looked at Yuki Yuichi and offered a smile, seemingly praising his observational skills.

"Now, we are going to start our lesson!"

"On the nature transformation and shape transformation of chakra!"
