Chapter 5

Liuyun shook his head and walked away coldly, saying nothing and playing the part of a aloof male god, rewarding a 50 percent increase in Mental Energy.

He spoke aloofly, "An ant provoking a lion is merely courting its own destruction. You shouldn't have interfered in this matter!" Rewarding a double increase in Mental Energy.

I choose three! he muttered inwardly.

Liuyun's expression turned cold, an invisible aura radiating from him, his voice indifferent yet carrying an aloof edge.

"An ant provoking a lion is merely courting its own destruction. You shouldn't have interfered this time!"

Having said that, regardless of the expressions on the faces of Kushina and the other girl behind him, he strode toward the Ninja Academy.

"Ant? Lion??? Just him??"

Kushina pounced her lips, somewhat angry.

"When did this guy also learn that urge to beat people up from your class's Uchiha Clan?"

"Alright! Liuyun was just joking!"

Uchiha Mikoto shook her head, comforting her good friend.

Yet her dark pupils flickered, a trace of anticipation flashing through her heart.

Could it be!! Was everything before just an act put on by Liuyun??

When he arrived at the classroom, quite a few people had already arrived ahead of Liuyun.

They were all children aged eight to ten, and the sound of playful shoving and shouting in the classroom went on endlessly.

Liuyun's arrival did not attract everyone's attention.

Aside from being at the bottom of the class in the academy, the other students held no malice toward Liuyun.

On the contrary, they even felt a bit of goodwill toward him; after all, Liuyun lacked the aloof arrogance typical of the Uchiha Clan.

Coupled with his handsome face, his popularity was much better than that of Uchiha Yuantong sitting nearby.

Speaking of Liuyun's generation, he felt it had the highest gold content of any previous year.

The Little Sun Minato Namikaze, the future heads of Ino-Shika-Cho, Hana Inuzuka, and the two brothers Hiashi and Hizashi...

Aside from the bastard Uchiha Fugaku and Senju Nawaki, who were a grade higher than them and had just graduated from the Ninja Academy.

Basically all of Konoha's future big shots were among them.

Of course, as awesome as these people might be, aside from Minato Namikaze, they all had to obediently call Kushina big sister.

Only at this moment did he truly understand how widespread the fearsome reputation of the Red-Hot Habanero really was.

Of course, there was also the reason that they didn't want to offend Kushina.

While Liuyun's mind was wandering, two distinct and familiar fragrances drifted across from under his nose.

They were none other than Kushina Uzumaki and Uchiha Mikoto.

Puffing out her steamed-bun cheeks, Kushina glared at him with displeasure, her face written all over with an expression of intense anger.

If not for Uchiha Mikoto's presence, Liuyun probably would have suffered a violent and savage beating from this Red-Hot Habanero.

Ding! Detected that the host has angered his future wife Kushina Uzumaki, please choose!

1. Step forward, offer a ingratiating smile, and apologize, earning Kushina's forgiveness, rewarding a 10 percent increase in Chakra!

2. Step forward and ask, "What's wrong, Kushina! Who made you angry, let me go and teach them a harsh lesson!" Rewarding a 30 percent increase in Chakra!

3. Gently stroke Kushina's red hair and say warmly, "Kushina, your red hair is so beautiful, I love it so much, won't you stop being angry with me?" Rewarding master-level hand seal gestures!

(New book begs for flowers! Begs for reviews! Begs for collections! Begs for everything! The first chapter is out, you can read it, sob sob sob!).

Chapter 8 Good grief! I call absolute good grief! (3 uploads!)

Liuyun curled his lip. I choose the third one, and system, Kushina Uzumaki isn't my wife yet, so stop talking nonsense.

Ding! This system never makes mistakes in its detection. The moment the host laid eyes on Kushina, the inner perv soul within the host's body went completely off the charts.

If the host doesn't take Kushina into his harem, this system will manifest its physical form and eat a giant mouthful of shit!

The system's voice carried a thick sense of disdain.

I was just joking, did you have to go that far? Liuyun offered a dry chuckle.

Damn it, I was just saying that casually, did you have to take it so seriously.

As for Kushina, Liuyun certainly had his eyes on this girl's body.

To be precise, he had his eyes on her body after she grew up, and he believed that anyone who time-traveled here would never let Kushina go.

If someone really refused to claim Kushina, that person must have practiced the Sunflower Manual just like Yue Buqun.

"Mikoto, what's wrong with Kushina? Is she angry?" Turning his head, Liuyun asked despite knowing the answer.

In a harem, harmony was the most important thing.

If he wanted to comfort Kushina, he first had to smooth things over with Mikoto on this side.

"Whose fault do you think it is?" Uchiha Mikoto rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"My fault?" Liuyun pretended not to know what was going on.

"That last sentence of yours really made Kushina furious."

"Is that so? I just said it casually; who knew it would anger Kushina!"

Liuyun awkwardly scratched his head. "I'll go coax her!"

"Go on! You've known Kushina for so many years and still don't know her temper! Hurry up and make peace with her!"

"Otherwise, I reckon this girl's going to burst from holding it in!"

Uchiha Mikoto pursed her lips and burst out laughing.

It was as if she pictured Kushina's furious expression.

"Alright! My wife has spoken, I will definitely complete the mission!"

Liuyun patted his chest in assurance.

"Puh! Talking nonsense again, who's your wife!"

Uchiha Mikoto's face flushed red, her heart pounding like a trapped deer as she muttered softly.

"Hehe!"

With a silly grin, Liuyun temporarily handled this young miss.

He turned around and spoke to Kushina, who was still sulking by herself.

"Who was it that made our Kushina so mad?"

"Hmph! Don't you know!" Kushina puffed out her cheeks, looking out the window with an extremely proud air.

"Alright! Alright! If what I just said made you angry, then let me apologize to you! I'm sorry!"

Liuyun coaxed Kushina as if he were coaxing a child.

This caused Inoichi Yamanaka, who was passing by, to involuntarily shiver.

How damn nauseating, I've got goosebumps all over, yet I have to admire Liuyun's flirting skills.

Uchiha Mikoto from his own clan, and the big-sister-head Kushina Uzumaki.

This guy wasn't strong, his looks were just decent—it seemed he was heading down the path of a kept man.

"Hmph!"

Kushina proudly tilted her little head up, pouted, and turned to look into the distance, indicating she would not accept the apology.

Liuyun secretly thought that it was time to use the system's trump card.

Suddenly, his expression changed, his eyes filled with deep affection, and one hand gently stroked Kushina's long red hair.

"Kushina, your red hair is so beautiful, I love it so much. Won't you stop being mad at me?"

With a sudden swoosh, Kushina's weak spot was struck, and her fair face instantly turned as crimson as blood.

Her voice became barely audible, filled with shyness and nervousness as her small hands restlessly twisted the hem of her clothes.

"You! Are you telling the truth? Is my hair really nice?"

"Of course, ever since I first laid eyes on your hair, I fell deeply in love with it!"

"Red represents the setting sun, it represents unwavering love. How could I not like it? I just didn't dare say it before!"

"Seeing you sad today, I had no choice but to speak the words I've hidden in my heart for so long!"

Good grief! Good grief! I'm just gonna say good grief!

At this moment, Inoichi Yamanaka roared frantically inside his heart.

Was this still that Red-Hot Habanero who always beat us up?

Was this still the Kushina who used force at every turn to make us submit?

Kushina's reaction made his jaw drop straight to the floor.

He had never once seen this kind of expression, this kind of look!

This Uchiha Liuyun was seriously amazing, able to flirt with the Red-Hot Habanero into such a state.

You might as well stop calling yourself Uchiha Liuyun and change your name to Uchiha Casanova!

At the same time, he felt immensely envious of Uchiha Liuyun. If only he had Liuyun's flirting skills.

Why would he ever worry about failing to win the wife he desired?

How about... taking Liuyun as my master? A thought popped into Inoichi Yamanaka's mind.

"Seeing that you're so sensible, I'll generously forgive you!"

While Inoichi Yamanaka was deep in thought, Kushina patted her flat chest, her flushed face mixed with a trace of shyness.

"Then thank you, my Kushina!"

Liuyun smiled faintly, thinking to himself: Done deal!

Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the third option. Reward: Mastery-level Hand Seals gestures. Do you wish to claim it?

"Claim!"

A torrent-like wave of memories followed, and Liuyun's mind absorbed them frantically.

Various hand seal postures, comprehension, speed...

At the same time, a warm current began to strengthen his hands, feeling as comfortable as taking a sauna.

If he hadn't been at school, Liuyun would have wanted to moan in comfort.

A moment later, the memories and warm current in his mind dissipated one after another.

Replaced by it was the hand seal speed branded into Liuyun's mind.

He calmly and quietly tried it out; his speed had increased by at least three times, reaching the point of four seals per second, which felt simply awesome.

Just at that moment, Liuyun felt as if someone was staring at his back.

Having been scoured by Mental Energy, although he lacked sensory abilities, a hazy feeling was still there.

He turned his head to look in the direction of his perception.

A figure appeared in his line of sight.

Yellow hair, with his face overflowing with a sunny smile.

This kind of smile made it impossible for people to harbor malice; it was none other than the top student of the class, the future Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze.

Seeing Liuyun look at him, a trace of astonishment flashed across Minato's face, followed by the appearance of his trademark smile.

Liuyun likewise nodded to acknowledge him.

He figured it must have been the interaction between himself and Kushina that made Minato jealous.

Right now, the incident where Kushina was kidnapped hadn't happened yet, and her impression of Minato was still at the stage of him being a sissy.

Now that there was a third party like Liuyun joining in, Minato Namikaze could just like that scumbag Uchiha Fugaku, get lost.
