Naruto: They Have Systems - Chapter 8

"Hahahaha!"

A group of brats burst out laughing. Uchiha Yin silently mourned for them.

Others might not know what Kushina Uzumaki was like, but Uchiha Yin certainly did.

In the original story, Kushina Uzumaki was the fiery girl known as the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero. How could she let herself be bullied so easily?

Unfortunately, those brats knew nothing about her strength or her temper. They kept mocking her without a care.

Seeing Kushina Uzumaki's face turn red with embarrassment, one brat even grabbed her hair.

"It's getting riper and riper," a brat said, watching her face grow redder.

"It's tomato season! Let's pick one." As he spoke, he tugged at Kushina Uzumaki's hair.

"Who are you calling a tomato?!" Kushina Uzumaki seized the boy's hand and snapped at him.

She had held back because she was in an unfamiliar place, but even Kushina Uzumaki had her limits. There was no way she would keep suppressing her temper.

"And for the record, I hate tomatoes too!"

Kushina Uzumaki grabbed the hand pulling her hair and swung its owner around with impossible strength, sending every brat surrounding her flying.

Then she held on to the boy who had pulled her hair and hammered his head with her fist, again and again.

"You keep calling me a tomato to make fun of me? Then I'll show you what happens!"

Kushina Uzumaki spoke without the slightest restraint. Then, as if remembering something, she looked toward Uchiha Yin.

"What's so funny?"

Kushina Uzumaki glared at the smiling Uchiha Yin and raised a little fist at him. By then, she had completely forgotten her system task!

Chapter 6: So Cute

"So cute."

Kushina Uzumaki had no idea that, to Uchiha Yin, her attempt to look fierce with that little fist raised wasn't threatening in the slightest. If anything, he found her adorable.

Besides, Uchiha Yin knew this was simply her nature. To him, this was the Kushina Uzumaki he knew: genuine and unpretentious.

That was what he thought, and he said it softly aloud.

In fact, right after her fierce outburst, Kushina Uzumaki had remembered her system task and inwardly groaned.

Uchiha Yin had seen her act so "rough," with nothing to hide it.

Will he think I'm hard to get along with? What am I supposed to do then? How can I complete the system task?

She cared a great deal about that task.

But just as Kushina Uzumaki was worrying, she heard Uchiha Yin's words. Her face, which had returned to normal, flushed instantly—perhaps even redder than before. Whether it was from embarrassment or anger, she couldn't tell.

Hearing Uchiha Yin call her cute filled Kushina Uzumaki with warmth.

In this unfamiliar place, in this unfamiliar class, Kushina Uzumaki didn't have a single friend.

Even Minato Namikaze, who had supported Kushina Uzumaki in the original story after hearing her say she wanted to become Hokage, showed her no warmth now that she had said something different during her introduction. At least he hadn't joined in mocking her.
