Kushina's Benefactor!

"Did this dead last seriously one-shot Pineapple Head?!"

"There's something wrong with him!"

Onion Head and Radish Head were overcome by intense fear, breaking out in cold sweat.

Since Pineapple Head stood behind Onion Head and Radish Head, Uchiha Kurohane was currently behind the two delinquent boys.

Ignoring those two small fry, Uchiha Kurohane asked Kushina Uzumaki,

"You weren't hurt, were you?"

Kushina Uzumaki stared at Uchiha Kurohane's handsome face, feeling even more bewildered.

You haven't knocked them all down yet, so why are you turning your back on them to ask about me?

Didn't Konoha's Ninja Academy teach you?

Never turn your back on an enemy!

It might look cool, but you won't be able to see what the enemy is doing!

Onion Head and Pineapple Head hadn't become delinquents by fooling around. They immediately spotted this obvious opening.

Onion Head split his lips into a domineering grin like a dragon king.

This idiot actually dared to turn his back on me?

Turning your back on an enemy is a ninja taboo the teacher talked about!

He must not know because he's dead last and never paid attention in class, right?

Haha, this is a gift from heaven!

You're busy looking at women? Go die!

With both hands protecting his head, Onion Head endured the crows' pecks and forced his way behind Uchiha Kurohane, preparing to launch a sneak attack from behind.

Kushina Uzumaki was startled and hurriedly tried to warn him.

But before she could open her mouth, Uchiha Kurohane spun around and delivered a swift flying kick, striking Onion Head precisely between the legs.

"Urgh—!"

Onion Head let out a shrill scream, flew back several meters, and passed out from the pain.

Radish Head's eyes widened in shock.

Strange!

Why did it feel less like this dead last had kicked Onion Head's weak point, and more like Onion Head had slammed his own weak point into the dead last's foot?

And he had been facing away from Onion Head. He shouldn't have been able to see where Onion Head was.

Did he have eyes in the back of his head that let him see behind him?

Those bizarre crows, plus those bizarre eyes in the back of his head... none of this made any sense!

Forget it. I won't lower myself to his level. I'll let him off and get out of here.

Radish Head turned and ran frantically in the opposite direction.

But just as he took his first step, a crow rammed into his calf.

He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Radish Head hurriedly tried to get back up.

Uchiha Kurohane stepped down on his back, pinning him to the ground like a turtle beneath his foot.

"Wait, big bro, don't hit me!"

"I was wrong! We're classmates, please let me go!"

Radish Head caved, crying out for mercy at the top of his lungs in an exceptionally miserable voice.

Uchiha Kurohane sneered and asked coldly,

"Weren't you all high and mighty when you were ganging up on someone weaker? Didn't you shout for me to come down and fight you one-on-one? Now that I'm down here, you're scared?"

No, Pineapple Head was the one who shouted for you to come down! You dead last, you've got the wrong person!

Radish Head felt deeply wronged, but he didn't dare argue. He felt like his spine was about to snap beneath that foot, so he could only cry and admit his mistake.

"Big bro, I know I was wrong. Please spare me!"

Seeing how sincerely he admitted his mistake, Uchiha Kurohane turned to Kushina Uzumaki.

"Redhead, he knows he was wrong. Do you forgive him?"

It was Kushina Uzumaki's first time seeing such a cool fighting style. She had been completely engrossed, only snapping back to her senses when she heard Uchiha Kurohane's words.

"...Ah, is that so? If he knows he was wrong, then let him go."

Although Kushina Uzumaki had a fiery temper and had originally wanted to go all out and beat those three kids senseless,

Uchiha Kurohane's brutality far exceeded Kushina's expectations.

Kushina felt that he had gone a little too far.

Especially that kick straight into Onion Head's weak point. Wouldn't that turn him into a girl?

Was that kind of attack really okay?

At heart, Kushina was a kind little girl, and she wanted to fit into Konoha. She didn't want to make things worse.

Hearing Kushina's words, Radish Head immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"She's already forgiven me, so hurry up and take your foot off me. My bones are about to break."

Uchiha Kurohane ignored Radish Head and spoke seriously to Kushina.

"No. If you make a mistake, you have to be punished. His other two companions have already paid the price. If he doesn't, that would be unfair to them."

"Eh... is that how it works?"

Kushina Uzumaki looked at Uchiha Kurohane's serious expression, feeling a little confused.

"No, you just said that fairness wasn't necessary in the face of justice. Why are you talking about fairness now?"

"And the fairness you're after is too weird. Pineapple Head and Onion Head are my friends. Would they really have any objections?"

Radish Head felt that Uchiha Kurohane was completely unreasonable and far too savage.

Who exactly was the delinquent here?

Uchiha Kurohane curled his lips into a pleased smile.

"Let me teach you another lesson. Justice is defined by the victor."

"I won, so what I say is justice!"

Radish Head could no longer endure such shameless nonsense.

"That tomato already said she'd forgive me, so why are you—"

"The loser has no right to speak!"

Uchiha Kurohane delivered a soccer-style kick right into Radish Head's weak point.

!

"Ahhh—!"

Radish Head let out a shriek that rang through the sky, then foamed at the mouth and passed out.

Seeing that brutal blow, Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help tensing all over. Even as a girl, she felt the pain.

She sighed inwardly.

Although Uchiha Kurohane's moves were terrifying, he was so handsome.

One against three, knocking one person out with every move... it was unbelievably cool.

Kushina Uzumaki's heart fluttered. Covering her wildly pounding chest with a small hand, she looked at Uchiha Kurohane with eyes full of admiration.

This dead last was really so cool!

He was the most handsome man I'd ever seen!

Uchiha Kurohane turned back to face her.

"If you run into people like this in the future, don't be scared. They're cowardly trash who bully the weak and fear the strong. Pin them down and beat them half to death."

"Once you beat them until they're afraid, they won't dare bully anyone again."

Only then did Kushina Uzumaki understand why Uchiha Kurohane had hit them so hard.

He wasn't a violent maniac, and he wasn't enjoying the thrill of beating people up. He wanted to stop them from bullying others in the future.

He was so mature, so far-sighted!

After speaking, Uchiha Kurohane didn't wait for Kushina Uzumaki's response and simply turned to leave.

Kushina Uzumaki stared at his handsome retreating figure and froze again.

Why did he just leave? I haven't even thanked him yet!

Was he embarrassed?

The innocent Kushina had guessed wrong. Uchiha Kurohane was fishing.

After leaving, he began a ten-second countdown in his mind.

He believed Kushina Uzumaki would catch up to him within ten seconds.

Uchiha Kurohane was so certain because he wasn't native to the world of the Hokage, but a transmigrator.

Nine years ago, he had been born into the Uchiha Clan as a baby, and his parents had died one after another soon afterward.

He had a house and a bloodline, but unfortunately, no little sister.

Thus, he achieved "Uchiha Orphan" and obtained the Entry "Yatagarasu S."

This was an upgradable Kekkei Genkai. Its initial ability allowed him, after forming a Summoning Contract with crows, to enhance their basic abilities and gain their senses and vision.

This Kekkei Genkai didn't look very strong, and in truth, it really wasn't. It could only be used against inexperienced Genin.

However, Uchiha Kurohane soon discovered that gaining the crows' vision was actually an upgraded version of Pain's shared vision.

Since crows could fly through the sky, their field of vision was extremely broad, and there was no limit to the number he could summon.

It was practically like revealing the entire map.

However, controlling the crows consumed chakra and mental energy, while Uchiha Kurohane didn't have much chakra. He could only use them in battle.

On the other hand, Uchiha Kurohane's parents hadn't left him any Ninjutsu scrolls.

(Uchiha Izumi only knew swordsmanship, not Fire Release.

There were also plenty of ordinary civilians in the Uchiha Clan.

The original work never mentioned the Uchiha Clan giving Ninjutsu scrolls to the entire clan. Sasuke and Itachi were both taught Fire Release by their father.)

He could only learn the basic Ninjutsu taught at the Ninja Academy, such as the Clone Technique, Substitution Technique, and Transformation Technique. Coupled with the fact that he was only nine years old, he was very weak.

To avoid drawing attention, he had kept an extremely low profile before meeting Kushina, even deliberately pretending to be dead last.

The reason he stopped pretending after meeting Kushina Uzumaki was that Kushina was the mother of the Hokage's protagonist. Helping her would surely earn him an achievement, right?

[Gee~ The host rescued Kushina Uzumaki, achieving "Lifesaver of Uzumaki Kushina" and obtaining the Entry "Otsutsuki Lineage: Uzumaki Kushina."]

[The host's Otsutsuki Bloodline increased by 15%!]
