Misunderstood Tsunade

Namikaze Minato watched the scene before him, his pupils constricting slightly.

Because Uchiha Nagi's movements were simply too fast, and far too precise.

If it were him in that position, he wasn't certain he could have performed any better than the other boy.

At this moment, he couldn't help but take a deep look at Uchiha Nagi. As his desk mate, he had actually been able to sense that Uchiha Nagi wasn't weak, but he hadn't expected the other to be even stronger than he had imagined.

On the other side, Uchiha Enichi's expression was both unpleasant and complex.

It was unpleasant because the lackeys he had sent out had been defeated so easily, and he felt he had lost face.

It was complex, of course, because the other's strength had exceeded his expectations; even if he were the one to defeat these three followers of his, he likely wouldn't have done it with more ease than Uchiha Nagi.

In this way, Uchiha Nagi didn't seem to be bringing shame to the Uchiha Clan after all.

"Hmph, if you ever dare to bring shame to the Uchiha again, I certainly won't let you off!"

Uchiha Enichi let out a cold snort, then stopped looking at him.

"Wow!"

At this moment, Uzumaki Kushina cried out in surprise, her eyes shining as she stared at Uchiha Nagi.

"Sleepyhead, were you this strong all along?"

One had to know, even though she could also win, the results were never quite as clean; at the very least, she certainly couldn't have done what Uchiha Nagi did, not even ruffling his clothes in the process.

"It's alright, I suppose. They were just too weak." Uchiha Nagi didn't feel he was particularly strong; it was just the result of his normal training.

"Hmph!" Uzumaki Kushina suddenly felt a bit unhappy.

Since she had spent so much effort to beat them, wasn't Uchiha Nagi implying that she was also very weak by saying that?

"How could the Blood Red Pepper be weak? You're the winner who has beaten almost the entire class." Uchiha Nagi teased.

"That's right!" Uzumaki Kushina put her hands on her hips, her aura very arrogant, before she looked at Uchiha Nagi nervously.

"What is it now?" Uchiha Nagi asked, feeling a bit strange.

"Sleepyhead, you aren't going to hit me because I called you Sleepyhead, right?" Although Uzumaki Kushina was confident, she also had self-awareness; she likely wasn't Uchiha Nagi's match.

"I won't."

Uchiha Nagi felt a bit helpless. Did he look like the type of person who couldn't take a joke at all?

"That's good!" Uzumaki Kushina patted her chest as if relieved.

At this time, the bell for class rang, and Uzumaki Kushina returned to her seat.

Inoue-sensei walked in, his gaze falling on Uchiha Nagi for a moment before he shifted it away and began the lesson.

He had seen the scene from just a moment ago.

He had originally thought that the student with the best talent in this class was likely Uchiha Enichi.

Although the boy's personality certainly had some issues, the talent of the Uchiha Clan was not something that needed to be questioned.

Now it seemed he had been mistaken; this Uchiha Nagi, who held ideals that didn't seem like those of an Uchiha at all, might actually be the one with the greatest hidden talent.

Furthermore, if Uchiha Nagi was like this, could there be other hidden talents in this class?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head. How could there be so many excellent students in his class? Having one or two like this was already enough to be satisfied.

The next day.

Uchiha Nagi arrived at the location he had agreed upon with Uzumaki Kushina.

"Over here, over here!"

The street was bustling with activity, with various merchants calling out to customers, and Uzumaki Kushina, dressed differently than usual, was waving her hand there.

"Hm? Why did you arrive so early? I remember I arrived about ten minutes ahead of time myself." Uchiha Nagi looked at her with some surprise.

"Hehe."

Uzumaki Kushina smiled without answering. Could she say that this was the first time since coming to Konoha that she was accompanying a classmate out, so she had been a bit too excited and arrived too early?

"Don't worry about that! I've already told my sister about your matter, so let's just go straight to the hospital to find her."

"Alright."

Along the way, Uzumaki Kushina snuck a few glances at Uchiha Nagi, but finding that he had no intention of starting a conversation, she couldn't help but feel a bit discouraged, kicking at small stones as she walked, not very happy.

Uchiha Nagi had actually noticed that Uzumaki Kushina seemed to have dressed up specifically for today.

But he wasn't a person who enjoyed chatting, and he didn't have any particular thoughts about Uzumaki Kushina, so naturally, he wouldn't take the initiative to strike up a conversation.

In this somewhat silent atmosphere, the two soon arrived at the hospital.

Uzumaki Kushina skillfully led Uchiha Nagi to an office door and knocked.

"Please, come in." A voice that was both familiar and strange to Uchiha Nagi drifted from inside.

"Sister, I'm here!"

As soon as the door opened, Uzumaki Kushina lunged forward.

Uchiha Nagi focused his gaze and saw that beautiful woman with pale blonde hair and... a rather impressive bosom.

Wait, is Tsunade this well-endowed at this point in time? Uchiha Nagi was momentarily stunned. While this size couldn't compare to her future self, it seemed significantly different from what he had imagined.

This... certainly couldn't be called a flat-chested board.

Could it be that I remembered wrong? Uchiha Nagi couldn't help but ponder.

His impression of Tsunade being flat-chested came from Jiraiya's constant teasing, and his primary image of her before the start of the main plot was her wearing a green flak jacket during the war era.

Suddenly, Uchiha Nagi realized the truth: that stiff, rigid flak jacket would make even the future Tsunade look like a flat-chested board from the outside.

Combined with his deep memory of Jiraiya's complaints, these factors had created the false impression that Tsunade was flat-chested during this period.

At this moment, Tsunade also hugged Uzumaki Kushina and looked toward Uchiha Nagi, who had fallen into deep thought.

"Little Kushina, is he that classmate of yours with the health issues?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Nagi snapped back to reality. As his gaze met Tsunade's, he was so startled that a sentence blurted out of his mouth.

"Sorry, I misunderstood you."

"Hm?" Tsunade was a bit confused. What was this friend of Kushina's talking about? What misunderstanding?

"Uh, no, wait—I am that friend of Kushina's, Uchiha Nagi." Uchiha Nagi realized his mistake, took a deep breath, and quickly corrected himself.

"Uchiha..." Tsunade frowned slightly. Because Uchiha Nagi wasn't wearing the Uchiha clan crest, she hadn't recognized him at first glance.

However, Tsunade looked at Kushina again. The grievances of the older generation had nothing to do with the younger one, and she shouldn't view him through the lens of the past.

Having made up her mind, Tsunade spoke up.

"Come over here and tell me about your specific situation. Although Kushina has told me about your condition, it wasn't the full picture."

"Understood."

Uchiha Nagi walked to the other side of the table and sat up straight, beginning to explain the problems he was experiencing.
