Start with the Mangekyō and leave Konoha with Madara.

Konoha Village, Ninja School.

Since early morning, Kushina has been watched by two pairs of eyes, one with hostility and the other with caution.

This made her look strange.

Even without using the "Kagura Heart's Eye", she could determine the source of the two gazes.

Because one of them came from the last row of the class, Uchiha Inahime.

And the other gaze was from her deskmate, Minato Namikaze.

During lunch break, Kushina, holding a lunch box, suddenly turned her head. Minato seemed to be startled and turned around quickly, his evasive eyes like an otter.

"Minato-san, is there anything I can help you with?" Kushina couldn't help but ask.

Minato gave an apologetic smile, "I was finally discovered, Kushina-san. It turns out you are also a powerful person."

"If you mean the fact that I caught you peeking at me." Kushina rolled her eyes slightly, "I'm not blind."

"No, of course not this." Minato pointed behind him.

In the row by the window at the back, there were several boys with bruised faces and swollen noses, looking timid. In the middle of them, Uchiha Inahori's face was completely swollen like a pig's head, and he had a big bald head.

"What's so strange about this?" Kushina slowly moved closer and whispered with a smile: "Weren't you there at the time?"

Minato looked stunned, but then he quickly reacted and scratched his head, "Yes, I did watch the whole...process."

"So, stop looking at me like that." Kushina clenched her fists, "The best way to fight bullying is to bully the one who bullies you. An elder in my family told me that."

Minato coughed lightly, "You may have misunderstood. I'm just worried that he will ask someone in the clan to deal with you."

He lowered his voice, "Of course I believe in Kushina-san's ability, but Uchiha is responsible for the guard duty in Konoha. You beat him severely, and he has every reason to take the opportunity to target you and retaliate against you in a reasonable and legal way."

"Konoha Guard?" Kushina tilted her head.

"Yes, I am responsible for maintaining public order in the village and resolving conflicts. I can use force when necessary."

Kushina snorted, "I'm not afraid."

"The power of the Uchiha is still worth paying attention to." Minato said.

"They are just a bunch of fake Uchiha." Kushina said casually.

"what?"

"No more talking, Minato-san, it's time to go to class." Kushina narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Thank you for your information and your kindness, but you don't have to worry about my affairs."

The whole day was very boring because there were no outdoor classes and we just sat in the classroom studying "ideology and morality". Konoha really worked hard on brainwashing, so Kushina had no choice but to sneak away for the whole day.

Just when she was about to go moldy, she finally made it to the end of school.

This time, she walked out of the school gate as usual, slightly opened her senses, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

……

In a corner of the forest, a petite figure is running forward.

Kushina shuttled through the trees, flying through the air, her red hair seemed to be burning flames. She looked back from time to time, a smile flashing in her eyes.

At this moment, she heard a slight sound of breaking air from behind her. She leaped forward immediately, and three shurikens brushed past her side and were the first to hit the tree trunk in front of her.

"Are you serious?" she exclaimed.

With her excellent perception ability, she quickly noticed the figure chasing her from behind. Her eyes turned, she raised her foot and kicked the tree trunk, rushing back at a faster speed!

A red shadow flashed by, and the man was unable to dodge, so Kushina grabbed his neck and fell heavily to the ground.

Kushina landed lightly, observing the man's height and attire, and recognized the emblem on his shoulder.

"Uchiha? Or... Konoha Guard?"

With a "bang" sound, white smoke filled the air, and before she could see the man's appearance clearly, he turned into half a wooden stake.

"Replacement technique?"

The sudden change made Kushina stunned for a moment. At this moment, a palm attacked from behind and cut across the back of her neck.

"Ugh!" Her eyes went dark, her body instantly lost balance and she fell forward.

A cold voice floated from behind: "Humph, I thought I was so powerful, but you are just a little devil."

The wind was whistling, and many figures fell around. Kushina opened her eyes and found that this group of people were dressed in uniform and were all members of the guard team.

"Someone reported you for abusing your classmates and being cruel. Come with us!"

Kushina shook her head, trying to regain consciousness: "Humph, they were the ones who bullied me first!"

"Shut up!" The man grabbed her hair roughly and lifted her up.

"Ah..." Kushina cried out in pain and turned around to see a sinister face.

"I'm not interested in listening to your excuses. Do you want to go with us, or do you want me to break your arms and legs and drag you over?"

"Forehead……"

At this time, a timid voice came from behind the guards, and a bald man with a bruised face and nose came out: "Is this too much?"

It was Uchiha Inahime, Kushina recognized his voice.

"You useless thing, no wonder you are bullied!" Someone from the guard team scolded, "We are Uchiha! How could we be bullied by this outsider who just joined Konoha?"

Dao Huo looked timid, "My dear seniors, I just want to vent my anger... We are classmates, there is no need to make too much trouble..."

"Go away, this matter is none of your business."

Everyone rushed forward and pushed Daohuo to the periphery.

"As an outsider, you have to be aware of yourself, understand? You, a tomato, have provoked someone you shouldn't have!"

The man grabbed Kushina's hair and pulled a kunai from his waist pouch.

"Um, Brother Eito..." Inahori looked flustered and tried to squeeze into the crowd, "I think this is enough! I won't seek revenge!"

"That won't do." Yingdou said with a smile, "If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. I must let everyone know that the Uchiha clan cannot be messed with!"

He pulled back, causing Kushina to stumble.

"Cousin, are you interested in seeing the tomato juice?" Eito drew it twice with his knife, as if looking for the angle, and the sharp cold light kept flashing on Kushina's face.

Dao Huo's legs were shaking. "If the clan leader knew about this, he would be angry..."

"Shut up! The guards are in charge of the law and have the right to punish the evildoers!" Uchiha Yingdou shouted angrily: "This is all legal and reasonable. Even if the higher-ups know about it, they can't say anything!"

"But……"

"Humph, the Uchiha's dignity cannot be challenged!"

Uchiha Eito smiled coldly and slashed the kunai in his left hand downwards!

With a "hiss" sound, a cut was made on Kushina's face, but what splashed out was not blood, but a clear stream of water.

Uchiha Eito was severely shocked, and the girl in his arms quickly turned into a puddle of water and fell to the ground, wetting his palm.

"Water clone? Damn it! When was it??"

At this moment, a familiar clear voice sounded behind everyone:

"You all saw it. Fortunately, this is just a water clone, otherwise..."

Eito suddenly turned around and saw Kushina standing in the distance unharmed, followed by a team of aggressive Chunin. Standing next to Kushina was a silent boy.

His eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't help but take a step back, not because he was afraid of Kushina, but because he was afraid of the young man.

"Uchiha, really? It seems that... the authority assigned to the guard team by the top management is still too great..." Rope Tree's face was gloomy and he almost gritted his teeth when he said this.

"Uh, misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding..." Eito explained hurriedly. He knew that although the young man in front of him was mediocre in strength, his identity was so great that even the current Hokage had to give him some face.

"No need to say more, let your clan leader go and explain to the Hokage himself!" Nawaki took a deep breath, "I also have the blood of the Uzumaki clan flowing in my body, so I can be considered Kushina's brother. Anyone who wants to target her in the future must get past me first!"

Due to the intimidation from Sheng Shu, the guard members left in disgrace.

"Thank you, Brother Nawaki." Kushina smiled slightly.

"This is what I should do. I'm happy that you can come to me." Nawaki patted Kushina's shoulder, "Well done."

"Let's go eat ramen together later." Kushina patted her small wallet, "It's my treat."

"No, I'm going on a mission with Sensei Jiraiya later." Nawaki declined with a smile.

"So late?" Kushina asked puzzledly.

Rope Tree sighed softly, "Yes, the situation in the Rain Country is very tense recently. Our base has been severely damaged and we are in urgent need of support..."

Halfway through, he shook his head, "Well, why am I telling you, a little girl, all this... If Kushina gets into trouble while I'm away, she can just go directly to the Hokage Building..."

"Okay..." Kushina nodded, not quite understanding. Looking at Nawaki who spoke in a mature tone, she thought silently in her heart:

"You are not much older than me..."
