Traveling through Naruto: I am the strongest rotten person!

After coming to Konoha for more than half a year, Kushina, who was previously lively and cheerful, had a drastic change in temperament due to the changes in the country's destruction and the bullying and isolation from her classmates.

She rarely smiles now. She needs a reason to laugh. People will naturally laugh when they feel happy. But Kushina has nothing that makes her happy. It is natural not to smile.

She was like a hedgehog all day long, with the thorns on her body standing up, ready to fight back at the enemy at any time, while the softest part of herself was hidden under these thorns, and she lived carefully.

After getting the nicknames Tomato and Blood Red Pepper, even the girls who originally wanted to be friends with her began to balk. Kushina heard girls whispering behind her in school more than once.

"Kushina is actually quite cute, but..."

"Hey, hey, how cute is she? Didn't you see the way she beat Inokashira? It's so scary, like a little lunatic."

"Ah, you put it like that... I originally thought it would be okay to be friends with her, but..." The little girl hesitated and glanced at Kushina's back.

Hearing others talking about herself, Kushina slowed down unconsciously, and the girls behind her were still talking about her.

"I heard Yuta say that time that she beat up his brother who was a genin. That was a genin."

"Eh?" Several other girls collectively gasped, and their glances at Kushina became even more frightening.

"She looks like this, Yamabuki, do you still want to be friends with her?"

The girl named Yamabuki was obviously scared. She just looked at Kushina's stiff back and stopped talking for a long time.

With her head lowered, Kushina's expression was very ugly. She wanted to turn around and yell at them for being cowards, calling them cowards who had no independent opinions and only followed boys.

But she couldn't. As long as those people didn't stop her and pointed at her nose, she couldn't be the one who caused the conflict in the first place. She bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth to prevent herself from turning back and scolding them.

The hand hanging on the outside of the thigh also slowly clenched, and the nails dug moon-white marks in the palm of the hand.

She started running.

There is only one place where Kushina can go after class, and that is the grass behind the classroom. Other students usually play in front of the classroom. Because it is secluded, it is not a place that children like.

Kushina likes this place because few people come here and she can treat it as her own little world.

Here, she can relax and don't have to face annoying boys or weird girls.

However, this time, when she went there, she found that someone else was already there.

Is it because I slowed down and listened to those girls that I arrived late?

Kushina raised her head and looked at the boy sitting on the osmanthus tree. This boy had hair the same color as the osmanthus. He was Minato Namikaze. Kushina was deeply impressed by him, but it was not a good impression. .

Minato felt the malice coming from below. He looked away from the distance, and then he lowered his head and saw Kushina standing menacingly under the tree with her hands on her hips.

"Ah, it's you..." Minato was inexplicably afraid after seeing Kushina, so that there was a hint of nervousness in his expression.

"This is my tree, why do you want to go up there!"

"This tree?" Minato scratched his head. He had never known that the tree in the school had become privatized.

"Yes, this is the tree I play on every time!"

"But……"

"Get down!"

"..." Minato was a little embarrassed. Although he knew that what Kushina said had no basis, he always became particularly awkward when facing this girl and didn't know how to talk to her.

He sat on the tree and looked at Kushina under the tree. That beautiful face showed a defensive look, and a pair of big eyes stared at him fiercely, but her hands on her waist gave her away, showing that she was tense at the time.

Minato was stunned for a moment, and sighed helplessly. He jumped down from the tree lightly, and the landing point was just in front of Kushina. He stood up, and there was only more than 20 centimeters between them.

This sudden close distance startled Kushina, and she instinctively took a few steps back.

She was not used to being so close to someone, and besides, this person was a bystander who had watched her being bullied many times but did not help.

"You, you, you... why did you jump down suddenly!" Kushina's cheeks turned red for a moment, and she even stammered when she spoke.

"You asked me to come down. You said this tree was yours."

"that is because……"

"Is it because I have no friends?" Minato laughed.

"What did you say?" It feels very uncomfortable to be easily told by the other party about things that I feel unbearable and powerless to do.

Kushina stared at Minato with wide eyes. Having no friends was the most distressing thing for Kushina at this stage, but Minato could say it so frankly. The girl's self-esteem made her feel insulted.

However, Minato's smile was very clean, and there was no sarcasm on his face. His smile was very sunny and gentle, and there was no slightest bit of contempt in his eyes when he looked at Kushina.

From that smiling face, she could see no trace of malice.

Kushina had not seen such a smile for a long time, which made her a little dazed.

At this time, I heard Minato say: "Kushina, you always keep to yourself. Why don't you try to make friends with other people? When making friends, one party must take the first step, right?"

"..."

Kushina lowered her head, and the red color faded from her face. She suddenly felt aggrieved. Just because of her red hair and her status as an outsider, her life became so difficult every day.

He was obviously very popular in Uzushio Village and had so many good friends. Now that his country is ruined and his family is ruined, coming to Konoha and just wanting to have friends like ordinary people has become a luxury.

"They are not bad, just a little naughty..."

"They are your companions and friends, of course you will say good things for them..."

Kushina still lowered her head, and Minato couldn't see the expression on her face, but from the tone of her words, he still felt a hint of coldness, just like the weather that was coming soon, with a chill.

"But now they are also yours..."

"Forget it," interrupted what Minato was about to say.

Kushina turned around, her back was lonely and stubborn, "You won't understand if I tell you this."

"Kushina..." Minato called her, but the stubborn Kushina did not look back.

The long red hair was blown by the wind, like brightly colored silk. Minato looked at it blankly, forgetting to leave this place.

With the red hair flying in the sky in his eyes, and the rich aroma of the osmanthus tree above his nose, Minato stood motionless for a long time.

It wasn't until Kushina's figure disappeared around the corner of the classroom that Minato spoke quietly.

"I want to be your first friend, Kushina. Why don't you be braver? As long as you ask, I will agree immediately."

However, Kushina would not hear his words at all.

Minato felt a little pity, but optimistically, he felt that this was not a big deal, so he laughed again.

"It's okay, next time, next time I will take the initiative to say that I want to be friends with you, Kushina."
