The day's lessons quickly ended. With Minato's help during the day, Uchiha Inaho and the others indeed didn't cause Kushina any more trouble.
However, the perceptive Kushina could still feel several dark gazes occasionally sweeping over her, filled with undisguised malice.
Kushina sighed softly. It seemed the thing she had been worried about had indeed happened. She... seemed to be getting bullied.
There's no helping it. Then I can only...

She had just packed her bag when a refreshing voice sounded beside her:
"Hey, Kushina, where do you live?"
Kushina was taken aback, tilted her head, and gave him a puzzled look.
"Ah, um, please don't misunderstand. I'm just worried that Inaho and the others will cause you trouble. After all, it's because of me that they've resented you for a whole day."
Minato seemed to choke a little and quickly explained, "If... I mean, if you need it, I can take you home first."
"Where do you live?" Kushina blinked and suddenly asked.
"South District, 16th Civilian Street."
Kushina drawled, with a regretful tone, "Oh... then that's a pity. My home is in the North District, not on the way."
Minato thought seriously, "Where in the North District?"
"Minato, I haven't been in Hidden Leaf Village for long, and I'm not too sure myself."
"Well, okay, call me anytime if you need anything." He gave a gentle smile. "I'm willing to help."
He wasn't a fool and naturally heard the sense of distance in Kushina's words, but this was completely understandable. After all, the little girl was new here and should be wary of everyone. That was only right.
Continuing to pester her would only make him look like a pervert.
Soon, the school gates opened, and the Ninja Academy kids swarmed out of the classroom. Kushina was naturally among them.
Having walked only a few steps out of the school gate, Kushina stopped, her small floral dress fluttering in the wind.
She looked back at the classroom, suddenly returned the way she came, passed by one classmate after another in the corridor, and finally stopped in front of several boys.
"Tomato?"
Uchiha Inaho's eyes lit up. He looked repeatedly behind Kushina, as if confirming whether anyone was following her.
Unsure of her intentions, he gestured to a follower beside him, who immediately understood and ran out to keep watch.
"Inaho," Kushina pouted, revealing a wronged expression, "About this morning, I... I feel very sorry. As a transfer student, I should be more sensible."
Inaho was a little surprised, "Sensible?"
Kushina hugged one arm, her eyes lowered, and said softly, "After all, you are from the Uchiha Clan. Being new here, I don't want to cause trouble."
Hearing this, Inaho's face immediately became smug.
At this moment, the lackey who had gone to keep watch returned, nodding furtively, "Boss, she's alone."
"Okay, I got it." Inaho felt relieved and walked up to Kushina with his hands on his hips.
He slowly reached out and grabbed the red hair, pulling it up high like he had done that morning, his eyebrows dancing with delight, "So... Tomato, how are you going to make amends?"
Kushina immediately furrowed her delicate brows, a pained expression on her face.
"You know, this red hair looks annoying, but it feels pretty good!" Inaho laughed heartily, the bright red, soft strands flowing through his fingers, feeling silky smooth.
"Apologizing empty-handed isn't sincere. I... I was planning to treat you all to Three-Colored Dango. What does Inaho think? Let's just be friends..." Kushina said through gritted teeth.
"Three-Colored Dango..." The others exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
Led by Kushina, they quickly left the school gates and turned onto a certain street.
In the bushes near the entrance, Minato Namikaze hung upside down from a tree branch, silently watching their receding figures, his brow slightly furrowed.
With a rustle of the branch, his figure disappeared, leaving only two falling leaves gently gliding down.
A moment later.
"Hey, aren't we going to a snack shop? Why are we here?" Inaho looked at the surrounding forest, somewhat displeased.
Kushina seemed not to hear him, continuing to walk forward.
"Hey, Tomato Head, our boss is talking to you!"
Suddenly, Kushina started running, her hair rippling like a sea of maple leaves swaying in the wind.
"Damn it! She's trying to run!"
Inaho shouted angrily, instinctively chasing after her with his followers.
"Damn Tomato, daring to trick us! Once I catch you, I'm going to shave all that red hair off!"
They ran for a long distance, and finally, Kushina slammed on the brakes, stopping at a dark and secluded path.
Looking back at Inaho and the others who had chased after her in a frenzy, she slowly turned her head, a curve appearing on her lips.
"Finally, you've been tricked."
Inaho and his men immediately surrounded her, saying fiercely, "Run, why aren't you running now?"
Kushina smiled playfully, "I thought about it halfway, Three-Colored Dango is too sweet, so I'm going to treat you to Tomato Scrambled Eggs instead!"
"What?"
They didn't even see her movements clearly, only feeling a flash of red and a sudden gust of wind as Kushina stood behind them.
The follower on the left was the first to scream, as Kushina kicked him in the waist, her slender leg unleashing a powerful force that sent him flying into a tree, knocking him unconscious.
A muffled thud echoed, sounding like a bad head injury.
"What!"
Kushina didn't give Inaho a chance to react, her small arm quickly reaching out, grabbing his collar, and swinging his body like a windmill, knocking all the surrounding followers away!
"You like pulling hair?"
She then straddled the dazed Inaho, aiming at his face, her small pink fists landing one after another.
"You don't like tomatoes!?"
"Likes to pull hair!?"
"Likes Tomato Scrambled Eggs!?"
"I'll scramble your eggs!"
Kushina waved her fists, her childish face displaying a fierce expression, red hair flying.
With each punch, several of Inaho's teeth shot out of his mouth, splattering the ground with blood.
Finally, she released Inaho's collar, the bruised and swollen guy already unconscious.
Several kids trembled, watching the red-haired girl part the bushes and walk over step by step, shrinking together in fear.
This little lamb, who was harmless just now and at everyone's mercy, now looked like a demon!
Based on that move just now, they had already realized that they were no match, that kind of speed was almost the same as the ninjas in their families!
At this moment, they just wanted to go home and find their mothers, and one of the followers even cried.
"Want to leave?" Kushina's lips curled slightly.
Several boys nodded immediately like pecking rice.
Kushina threw a handful of Kunai from her bag, raised her chin towards Inaho, and said in a cold voice, "Shave his head, and I'll let you go."
She looked at the timid kids, and several scenes of memories flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.
Uncle Shin'yu, do you mean that I will go to school with the children of Hidden Leaf Village?
"Of course, what is Kushina worried about?"
I'm not familiar with the place, what if I get bullied by those kids?
I don't know, I haven't been to school, you can ask Orochimaru.
"Bullying, huh..." Orochimaru showed a thoughtful expression, "Go ask Nian, he has experience."
