Uchiha Fugaku~

On a street in the Uchiha Clan Compound~

When Uchiha Lei heard the system say that Uchiha Mikoto holding him only counted as an ordinary plundering method, he immediately reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist!

[Special-method plundering of Uchiha Mikoto's one-tomoe Sharingan detected. Plunder rate increased to 2%...]

Just as I thought!

This counts as a kind of hug too. I'm just the one holding Mikoto!

Startled by Uchiha Lei's action, Uchiha Mikoto blushed across her fair cheeks and reminded him softly:

"Lei, it's not appropriate to hold me here!"

Uchiha Lei thought nothing of it. He decided he might as well stake his claim to Uchiha Mikoto and explained gently:

"Mikoto, I'm just keeping unwanted admirers away from you!

Besides, given our relationship, it's perfectly reasonable for me to hold you."

Hearing Uchiha Lei's words, Uchiha Mikoto could find no reason to argue. She nodded slightly, tacitly acknowledging her relationship with Lei!

The two walked down the street. Since they were both very good-looking, and Uchiha Mikoto's status was unusual, they immediately drew people's attention!

An elderly voice sounded beside them~

"Mikoto, dear, are you heading to school with young Lei?"

"Good morning, Grandpa Huo. Are you out for a stroll?"

Uchiha Mikoto immediately greeted the elderly, stooped, hunchbacked Uchiha man!

Since Uchiha Mikoto had greeted him, her boyfriend had to be polite too. Uchiha Lei nodded to Uchiha Huo and replied:

"Good morning, Grandpa Huo! It's getting late, so Mikoto and I will be going."

After saying that, Uchiha Lei took Uchiha Mikoto and quickly left the compound without waiting for Uchiha Huo's reply!

He was genuinely afraid that stopping to exchange greetings would make him late for school! Who knew what the consequences of being late to the Ninja Academy would be!

This body's original owner had never been late! I don't want to draw the Third Hokage's attention now.

But too many people had seen their intimate behavior, and they began to gossip!

"Why was young Lei holding Mikoto's waist? How strange!"

"What's strange about that? Isn't that normal behavior for a young couple?"

"A couple? Miss Mikoto is actually with that disgrace? This is huge news!"

"..."

A young man wore a Uchiha police uniform. He was Uchiha Tian, Uchiha Fugaku's follower!

"I have to tell Boss Fugaku that his girl Mikoto has been stolen away by that disgrace to the Uchiha!"

Uchiha Tian hurried toward the Uchiha Military Police Force!

Meanwhile~

After taking Uchiha Mikoto to her classroom, Uchiha Lei immediately formed hand seals and used the Body Flicker Technique to reach his classroom door!

When he saw that Kushina Uzumaki had already arrived in the back row, he quickly ran to his seat and sat down!

Ring, ring, ring~

The bell rang for class~

Sato Ichiro appeared at the door with the Body Flicker Technique. As usual, he was dressed as a ninja, wearing a Chunin vest as he inspected the students in the classroom!

Seeing that no students were late, he began his lecture:

"Students, today I'll be teaching you about the history of the Land of Fire..."

At the seats in the back row~

Seeing the sweat on Uchiha Lei's forehead, Kushina Uzumaki suddenly remembered what Grandma Mito had said and reached into her pocket to take out a red handkerchief!

Turning sideways, she placed the handkerchief against Uchiha Lei's forehead, gently wiped away his sweat, and greeted him softly:

"Good morning, Lei!

Why are you suddenly sweating so much?"

Listening to Kushina Uzumaki's gentle concern, Uchiha Lei had the sweat wiped from his forehead, leaving his face feeling fresh again. He turned and greeted Kushina softly:

"Good morning, Kushina! Thank you for wiping my sweat!"

Kushina Uzumaki put the handkerchief back in her pocket. Seeing Uchiha Lei smile at her, a pink blush rose on her fair cheeks, and she answered quietly:

"Mm~"

Kushina Uzumaki's cheeks grew hot, and she immediately lay her head on the desk, afraid that Uchiha Lei would see and laugh at her. Remembering her agreement with Lei, she held out her fair, delicate hand!

Uchiha Lei was stunned by Kushina Uzumaki's sudden shyness!

I never thought Kushina, the Red-Hot Habanero, could get shy!

I remember that in the story, she had a fiery temper even with Minato Namikaze...

Never mind. The reward comes first.

Uchiha Lei lay his head on the desk and reached out with his right hand to hold Kushina Uzumaki's hand!

The instant their hands joined-

Kushina Uzumaki trembled all over, and even her exposed, fair ears took on a pink blush!

[Ordinary-method plundering of Kushina Uzumaki's basic Uzumaki sage body detected. Plunder rate: 1%. Countdown: one hour...]

Time flew by~

Sato Ichiro's voice announcing the end of class rang out from the front-

All the students around them ran outside!

Only Minato Namikaze, seated in the middle of the back row, stood up and walked over to Kushina Uzumaki with determination in his eyes!

When he saw Kushina Uzumaki and Uchiha Lei holding hands, his brows furrowed slightly. Then he gave a sunny smile and reminded them brightly:

"Lei, Kushina, it's time for lunch! Want to go out and eat together?"

Hearing Minato Namikaze's voice, Kushina Uzumaki felt a girl's shyness rise within her. She quickly withdrew her delicate hand, sat up, and called softly to Uchiha Lei:

"Lei, stop sleeping! Let's go have lunch."

[Plundered Kushina Uzumaki's Uzumaki sage body for 3 hours. Progress: 3%. Total progress: 8%. Gained 1.5 ka of chakra.]

After absorbing the chakra for forty-five minutes-

Uchiha Lei sat up, smiled, and shook his head, declining softly:

"You two go have lunch! Mikoto should have brought lunch for me!"

Before he finished speaking-

Uchiha Mikoto's sweet voice sounded beside him~

"Lei, let's go have lunch!"

"Sure, Mikoto!"

Uchiha Lei stood up and nodded to Uchiha Mikoto. Passing Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, he wrapped his arm around Mikoto's waist and headed straight out of the classroom!

Watching the two holding each other, Kushina Uzumaki felt an uncomfortable tightness in her chest. She stared until Uchiha Lei disappeared from sight, then her eyes dimmed and she pouted!

Seeing Kushina Uzumaki, whom he liked, keep looking at Uchiha Lei, Minato Namikaze felt uncomfortable too. Still, he smiled and invited her:

"Kushina... let's go have lunch!"

"Sorry, Minato, I'm not in the mood to eat right now! I want to be alone for a while! Go eat without me."

Kushina Uzumaki lay her head back on the desk, reviewing where she fell short compared with Uchiha Mikoto!

Minato Namikaze's bright smile vanished too. He turned and left the classroom that had saddened him!

On the rooftop~

Uchiha Lei sat on a bench with his arm around Uchiha Mikoto's waist, eating lunch as Mikoto tenderly fed him!

With a loud bang~

The rooftop door was kicked open!

A young man in a dark blue police uniform appeared in the doorway!

He was 1.6 meters tall, more than a head taller than Uchiha Lei. His hairstyle resembled Lei's but was shorter. His face looked mature, the corners of his mouth turned down, and his body was as sturdy as a young calf!

He was Uchiha Fugaku!

At first, Uchiha Fugaku had not believed what he heard about Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Lei. But after asking around along the way, he learned that the two were having a private rendezvous on the terrace!

Uchiha Fugaku saw Uchiha Mikoto feeding Uchiha Lei and saw Lei's little hand at Mikoto's waist!

His face was so dark it looked ready to drip. He rolled up his sleeves, raised his right index finger to point at Uchiha Lei, and roared:

"You disgrace! How dare you touch Mikoto? Get the hell away from her!"

"Boss~"

Before the panting Uchiha Tian could finish-

With a bang~

The furious Uchiha Fugaku beside him sent him flying into the wire fence with a sudden straight punch without even looking at him!

With a thud~

Uchiha Tian fell to the ground, closed his eyes, and passed out!

Fortunately, the rooftop had a wire fence, or Uchiha Tian would have died for no reason!

Uchiha Lei released Uchiha Mikoto's waist, then rose from the bench!

Deeply worried that something would happen to Uchiha Lei, Uchiha Mikoto anxiously clasped his arm and tried to dissuade him softly:

"Lei, do you really have to fight? I'm afraid you..."

Before she finished-

Uchiha Lei raised his right index finger in front of Uchiha Mikoto's red lips and replied with a smile:

"Mikoto, have you forgotten that I'm no ordinary person? Trust me."
