Made a Name for Himself! [Please Bookmark, Please Send Flowers~]

"Finally, she's gone."

After Tsunade obediently left once she had finished eating, Hikaru let out a heavy sigh of relief.

How had he gotten tangled up with such a troublesome girl? If he'd known, he would have fought Tsunade before. Even if he couldn't beat her, it would have been better than dealing with all this trouble now, right?

After washing and putting away the dishes, Hikaru took a bath, then sat on the floor, closed his eyes, and refined Chakra.

Without either Hikaru or Tsunade knowing, news that the Senju Clan's Little Princess had followed Hikaru home quickly spread. Although not many people on the street had recognized Hikaru at the time, Tsunade's shout of "Uchiha Hikaru" had really caused trouble.

Could it be that these two children...

Ordinary people didn't have the leisure to fuss over things like the great clans did. They simply liked gossip.

It was gossip to ordinary people, but to the major clans—especially the Uchiha and Senju Clans—it took on a different meaning. Upon hearing the news, everyone was left somewhat bewildered.

The Senju Clan's Little Princess had gotten together with Uchiha Hikaru of the Uchiha Clan? What was this supposed to mean?

"Zzz..."

Just like before, Hikaru fell asleep from exhaustion while refining Chakra. When he woke up the next morning, he felt fully revived again. Every cell in his body seemed alive—it felt incredible!!!

Feeling that the amount of Chakra in his body had increased considerably, Hikaru was delighted. After stretching a little, he slung his schoolbag over his back, munched on a meat pie he had made himself, and headed for the Ninja Academy.

As for graduating early, Hikaru had thrown that matter to the back of his mind. Training was more important right now. He would talk about it when he could no longer keep going.

On his way to school, Hikaru noticed that the looks many clan members gave him had changed. He wasn't stupid, so he naturally guessed why. Tsunade, Tsunade, you really are a little witch!!!

Hikaru wondered whether he somehow owed Tsunade something in a past life. Otherwise, why would she keep causing him trouble? Causing trouble was one thing, but she had even dragged plenty of trouble down on him.

Fortunately, Hikaru wasn't an ordinary Uchiha. To hell with all that clan hatred.

A bunch of old fools who refused to change—the Uchiha Clan would sooner or later be finished in your hands!!!

If he held power and had that kind of strength, he would kill those old fools first!!!

When he arrived at school and entered the classroom, Hikaru once again became the center of everyone's attention. And it was all because of Tsunade.

Shaking his head, Hikaru couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them. He went to his seat and sat down, not even reacting when Tsunade entered the classroom.

"What are you looking at!!!"

Hikaru could ignore it, but Tsunade couldn't. She was depressed—really depressed. After returning home yesterday, she had immediately been called over by the elders and lectured about all sorts of grand principles. They had even brought up the ancestral grudges between the Uchiha and Senju Clans. In short, they had told Tsunade to stay away from Uchiha Hikaru!!

Tsunade was infuriated. She hadn't done anything. Why did they suspect there was something between her and Uchiha Hikaru?

Then there were all those strange looks, which had left Tsunade with a belly full of anger. When she arrived at school, her classmates were still looking at her and Hikaru like that, and she immediately became annoyed.

With a dark expression, Tsunade snorted. Her bad temper erupted, and her face made one thing perfectly clear: whoever kept babbling, whoever kept looking at her, she would beat them to death!!!

It had to be said, Tsunade's methods were crude, but they worked quite well.

"Cough, cough!!!"

The moment Tsunade got angry, the little kids immediately behaved themselves. They obediently withdrew their gazes, sat properly, and waited for the teacher to begin class.

"Hmph!!!"

For some reason, seeing Hikaru calmly eating his meat pie as though nothing had happened made Tsunade furious. She was practically being angered to death here, while he acted as if it had nothing to do with him. Did he have to be so infuriating?

For no reason at all, the anger Tsunade had just suppressed flared up again, and she even felt a little wronged.

Hikaru gave Tsunade a baffled glance. Having such a bad temper so early in the morning wasn't good. But she was a child, after all—of course she cared about this sort of thing. Hikaru could ignore everything, but could Tsunade?

Watching Tsunade sit beside him in a huff, Hikaru quickly finished breakfast and waited for the teacher to begin class. From beginning to end, he didn't look at Tsunade, but the more cold and indifferent he was, the more Tsunade wanted to lose her mind.

You, Uchiha Hikaru, had a part in causing this too, okay?

Couldn't you stop acting like it had nothing to do with you? At least say something.

Unfortunately, Tsunade was destined to be disappointed. Hikaru still said nothing.

"Alright, everyone, quiet down. Let's begin class." The teacher walked into the classroom and deliberately glanced at Hikaru and Tsunade. The rumors outside had left him somewhat stunned. He hadn't expected his joke to become reality.

But the Senju and Uchiha... surely this wasn't a joke?

It would have been one thing if it were ordinary people, but Tsunade was the Senju Clan's Little Princess!!!
