Chapter 21 - Little Chili Pepper

At the Hokage's Office, it was already close to midnight. Hyuga Senyo had disregarded the time and rushed to the building overnight.

The Third Hokage was awakened from his sleep and came to his office, where Hyuga Senyo was already waiting.

Seeing the Third Hokage arrive, Hyuga Senyo quickly explained the situation.

Upon learning of the matter, the Third Hokage's expression changed. He said sternly with a grave face, "Senyo, you must handle this matter properly. Since you've already sent people to pursue, I'll give you a Pass Permit. During this period, the Hyuga Clan can freely enter and exit the village. Also, bring that body here; I need to investigate it."

"Lord Hokage, it has already been brought."

"Let's go!"

...

At the Ninja Academy, Fugaku Uchiha, who had been severely injured in the competitive match, returned to school.

The moment Fugaku walked in, his eyes immediately fell on that conspicuous spot. He swept a sinister gaze across it before retracting his eyes and sitting down in his own seat.

Rakawa felt that gaze, looked up, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face.

What if he was the Uchiha Clan's young leader? After Rakawa severely injured him, wasn't he still completely fine?

It was impossible for the two ancient prestigious clans to go to war so easily. No clan could bear the consequences of war, especially not the Uchiha Clan.

The Uchiha Clan's past rebellions had already left some of Konoha's clans resentful, causing them to lose trust in the Uchiha Clan, and the rift grew day by day.

If war were to break out now because of the competitive match, Konoha might rise up against them. If they were then branded as rebels, the Uchiha Clan might fall into decline forever.

Therefore, the Uchiha Clan might make some moves, acting covertly, but they would absolutely not make any major moves openly.

Rakawa knew this well, and he also knew the Hyuga Clan's attitude towards him, so he felt no psychological pressure from severely injuring Fugaku Uchiha.

Too lazy to bother with that guy anymore, Rakawa lay back down and continued to refine his Chakra.

Kushina Uzumaki, who shared a desk with him, watched in genuine distress. 'Does this guy really not listen in class? He's such a strange person. And what does he mean by ignoring me?'

"Hey, hey, I'm talking to you, you idiot."

Kushina Uzumaki poked Rakawa with her finger, but received no response.

"Idiot, the teacher's calling you."

"Hey, someone's looking down on you."

After speaking repeatedly without getting a response, Kushina Uzumaki got angry and almost shouted, "Why aren't you saying anything, you jerk? I'll beat you up if you're not careful!"

As she spoke, she waved her small fists, looking indignant and pouting adorably.

"Kushina Uzumaki, do you have a question?"

The teacher on the podium immediately called on her when he saw her waving her fists. Kushina Uzumaki's face stiffened, and she awkwardly said, "No, no."

"Hmm... no, huh?" The teacher pushed up his glasses and said, "Since you don't, then go stand in the hallway outside for an hour."

Click--

Kushina Uzumaki froze, petrified. She instantly felt a cold wind blow past, and she felt utterly miserable.

"Hmm? Didn't hear clearly? Then stand until school is dismissed."

The teacher said lightly. Kushina Uzumaki opened her mouth, unsure how to respond to the teacher. She turned to glare at Rakawa, muttering fiercely, "You jerk, I'll get my revenge on you, a terrible revenge."

The teacher then tapped the podium, angrily saying, "Uzumaki Kushina, if you don't leave the classroom within ten seconds, you'll be standing for all your classes from now on!"

Kushina Uzumaki was on the verge of tears. She woodenly stood up and walked out of the classroom, filled with endless grievance.

"Hyuga Rakawa, I won't let you off easy. Just you wait, I'll make you cry."

After she left, Rakawa looked up, a smile in the corner of his eye. "This little girl certainly has quite a temper."

He mumbled a sentence and then lay back down, completely unconcerned by Kushina Uzumaki's threat.

Could a little girl's words be taken seriously?

The bell for class dismissal soon rang. After the teacher left the classroom, he lectured Kushina Uzumaki a few words before leaving.

The moment the teacher left, Kushina Uzumaki immediately rushed into the classroom, overturning several desks along the way, scaring some students into quickly clearing the path. No one dared to make a sound.

Kushina Uzumaki, who rushed to Rakawa's side, watched Rakawa slowly getting up. Her anger seemed to burst from her eyes, and her fists clenched.

"Bang!"

She slammed her palm on the desk and shouted, "Hyuga Rakawa, I hate you, I hate you! You're an idiot, a scoundrel, a jerk!"

After saying that, she turned around angrily and left the classroom, filled with rage.

All bark and no bite?

That was everyone's thought, but no one dared to say it aloud. If they did, who knew if she would truly explode.

Rakawa, however, chuckled softly and whispered, "I didn't realize this little chili pepper had such a cute side to her. Honestly."

Hiashi and Hizashi walked over. Hizashi whispered, "Boss, Tomato, ah, no, Kushina Uzumaki, could she be..."

"Hmm?" Before he could finish, Rakawa's eyes swept over him, making him swallow the rest of his words. "If you have that much free time to worry about such things, you'd be better off researching how to improve your own strength."

"Oh, alright..."

Hiashi wisely shut up. If Rakawa were to make things difficult for him, his life would become unbearable.

Just then, another person walked over.

Fugaku Uchiha.

Fugaku Uchiha walked towards Nishikado Shin, his eyes fixed on him, making Hiashi and Hizashi wary. 'Did this guy dare to cause trouble again?'

But things were unexpected. Despite how much Fugaku Uchiha resented him now, he showed no intention of erupting here.

Stopping at the desk in front of Rakawa, Fugaku Uchiha said to the student sitting there, "Mikoto Uchiha, let's go together."

"Mikoto Uchiha?"

That name made Rakawa frown. Mikoto Uchiha? The person sitting in front of him was Mikoto Uchiha? He hadn't paid much attention before.

Unable to figure it out, he glanced at her and then left.

Mikoto Uchiha, however, was clearly hesitant about Fugaku Uchiha's invitation. After much consideration, she said, "I'm sorry, Young Clan Head, I've already made plans to leave with someone else. I apologize."

After saying that, she quickly stood up and left. Fugaku Uchiha's brows furrowed. "Mikoto Uchiha, you..."

But before he could finish, Mikoto Uchiha had already disappeared through the classroom door, making him angrily slam the desk and walk home with a gloomy face.
