In her mind, Kushina Uzumaki had already turned into a ferocious dragon and given Uchiha Yin a thorough beating.
But when she remembered how lukewarm he seemed toward her, her spirits sank again.
One day, I'll have a figure every bit as good as Tsunade's. I swear.
Kushina Uzumaki looked down at her flat figure and made that vow.
The matches went quickly. In no time, the class was down to its final four.
They were Uchiha Yin, Kushina Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze, and Hyuga Ryosuke.
Uchiha Yin had considered holding back on purpose, but the children around him were so weak it hurt to watch. Losing to them would have been downright embarrassing!
So even without activating his Sharingan, Uchiha Yin made it into the final four with ease.
The Chunin teacher was a little surprised. Uchiha Yin's practical combat ability had previously ranked in the lower half of the class. He hadn't expected him to reach the final four.
Kushina Uzumaki was a new student, yet she had made it into the final four as well. That surprised the Chunin teacher even more.
As a Chunin, he wasn't cleared to know such secrets. Even most Jonin didn't know Kushina Uzumaki's identity.
The matches continued. Minato Namikaze defeated Hyuga Ryosuke with ease, making Jiraiya's eyes light up.
For some reason, Jiraiya felt that Minato Namikaze was exactly his kind of student, and the thought of taking him on as an apprentice took root.
"You've got your eye on that boy, Minato Namikaze? He's not bad."
Orochimaru seemed to have guessed what Jiraiya was thinking and said it outright.
"Yeah. I'll ask the old Third about him later and take a look at his records."
Jiraiya made no attempt to hide his thoughts.
Given their standing, the three of them had to be careful about taking on apprentices. They couldn't make the decision rashly.
After Minato Namikaze's match with Hyuga Ryosuke ended, it was Kushina Uzumaki and Uchiha Yin's turn.
Kushina Uzumaki leaped into the center of the training ground and shouted, "Yin, I'm going to beat you up!"
Chapter 25: Looks Like I Was Wrong About Him
Kushina Uzumaki's words immediately drew the attention of the entire class.
"The Red Hot-Blooded Habanero is angry. That's terrifying."
"Didn't she confess to Uchiha Yin yesterday? Why are they acting like enemies today?"
"Did getting rejected make her lash out?"
"How scary. Uchiha Yin's probably done for."
Although Kushina Uzumaki had only transferred in yesterday, her violent streak had already left a deep impression on everyone.
The brats she had beaten yesterday, along with those who had fought her just now, still shuddered at the thought of her "strength."
Her "ferocious" fists had nearly always ended a match in a single blow.
One punch, and her opponents lost consciousness. They had all seen just how fierce Kushina Uzumaki could be.
