The Noble Young Lady

Uchiha Kurohane walked into the noisy classroom and quietly sat down beside Kushina Uzumaki.

"Good morning, Kurohane~"

After greeting Uchiha Kurohane with a radiant smile, Kushina Uzumaki noticed that he was acting differently than usual.

After waiting ten seconds, she asked in confusion.

"Why aren't you asking to copy my homework today? Did you actually do it last night?"

"Let's train together this weekend?"

Just as Uchiha Kurohane was about to answer, a ponytail flashed before
