Naruto: Starting With Three Tomoe Sharingan, Girlfriend Kushina

For a time, because of the incident involving Ryun, the Uchiha clan became notorious bullies in the Ninja Academy.

In truth, their reputation wasn't great to begin with. The Uchiha clan, due to their formidable strength and tight-knit unity, had always been feared in the Ninja Academy, to the point where they could practically walk around unchallenged.

Being accustomed to such arrogance, it was inevitable that some clan members would grow disdainful of others, eventually provoking widespread resentment. It was only a matter of time before they faced collective backlash.

However, this time, the ones standing up against the Uchiha weren't outsiders—they were their own clansmen. This quickly became a hot topic, bringing shame upon the entire Uchiha clan.

"That damn half-breed, after school, we'll make sure he regrets this!" one Uchiha youth spat hatefully.

At the moment, a group of Uchiha were gathered in the restroom, each of them wearing a grim expression.

"Let's just drop it… After all, he's still part of the Uchiha clan. Kazuyo was the one who started it in the first place, so we should—"

Uchiha Senya didn't even get to finish before he was cut off by a sharp rebuke.

"Shut up!"

"That bastard's family moved out of the clan compound ages ago. He's no longer one of us. Today, he humiliated the Uchiha, so we'll teach him a lesson he won't forget."

A clansman named Uchiha Yūta spoke angrily.

"If we let him off, then anyone will think they can insult the Uchiha from now on. We have to make an example of him. This isn't about right or wrong."

Hearing this, many of the clansmen nodded in agreement.

"Fine, do whatever you want…" Uchiha Senya sighed.

He knew the little brat in question. They had some history, and Ryun had always been a meek, well-behaved person.

Originally, he hadn't planned on bullying him. But after Ryun finally snapped and fought back against Uchiha Kazuyo, things spiraled out of control.

That timid little half-breed had transformed overnight into an iron-headed troublemaker, making fools of the Uchiha left and right.

Proud and arrogant, the Uchiha saw their authority being challenged and branded the little brat a traitor to the clan.

In their eyes, as a member of the Uchiha, Ryun could have settled things privately with Uchiha Kazuyo—but he shouldn't have sought outside help.

Not only did Ryun involve outsiders, escalating the situation until Kazuyo was expelled, but today he even had the gall to openly insult them and declare he wasn't one of them.

Those words were tantamount to severing ties with the Uchiha, so the clansmen saw no reason to hold back. They were determined to corner him after school.

"It's all that Uzumaki Kushina's fault. That damn redhead meddled too much. Kazuyo getting expelled was because of her," one clansman grumbled resentfully.

"I think the little brat must have been tricked by Uzumaki Kushina. That's why he's acting like this now. Think about it—what kind of person was the little brat before?"

Uchiha Senya spoke up, trying to shift the blame onto Kushina as an outsider. That way, the little brat might not get beaten too badly.

"Yeah, yeah! The little brat was always so obedient. How did he suddenly become so defiant? It's definitely that damn woman. She must have brainwashed him into turning against us."

Hearing this, many clansmen found it plausible.

A "well-behaved" clansman suddenly becoming hostile to all of them—there was no way an outsider wasn't involved.

"You're right. Then after school, we'll deal with her too…"

And so, apart from Uchiha Ryun, the Uchiha in the Ninja Academy unanimously reached a decision.

In the classroom.

Class 501 was in session, but beneath one particular desk, paper balls were flying back and forth in a lively exchange.

"Hey, Ryun, can we talk about something?"

"Go ahead."

"Um… can you not call me 'Nana' in public from now on? It's so embarrassing…"

Reading the note, Ryun nearly burst out laughing, his heart filling with the urge to tease her further.

"If I can't call you that in public, does that mean it's okay in private?"

Seeing this, Kushina's face flushed even redder. Over the past few days, she had been teased relentlessly by him. Though mortified, she couldn't help but secretly enjoy it.

"N-no… that's not allowed either…" Kushina lowered her head and tossed back her reply.

"This isn't allowed, that isn't allowed—so what is allowed?"

"I'll say what's allowed…" Kushina hesitated for a long moment before finally sending this response.

"Do you not like me calling you that?" Ryun suppressed a smirk, pretending to be serious.

"It's not that… Just don't say it in public, okay…"

Seeing this, Ryun turned to Kushina with a knowing, mischievous grin.

"You… have such a shameless smile! I never noticed how perverted you were before!"

"That's because I'm not actually perverted…"

"You've lost all shame, and you're still not perverted?" Kushina lay on the desk, sneaking glances at Ryun behind the teacher's back.

The teacher lectured at the front, while she and Ryun secretly chatted away. For some reason, Kushina found this sneaky behavior incredibly fun—and thrilling…

This scene didn't escape the notice of a certain yellow-haired boy, whose heart filled with bitterness and envy.

The two were clearly "making eyes" at each other. He wanted to stand up and report them to the teacher, exposing these "shameless" troublemakers.

But the thought of the consequences stopped him cold. He forced himself to pretend he saw nothing, playing the role of a blind bystander…

"Seriously, I don't think the Uchiha will let this go. After class, don't leave the room. Stay by my side so you're not alone…"

Kushina wrote a long message.

"You'll protect me, right?"

Ryun tossed the note back, then stared at her with hopeful, "teary" eyes, full of emotion.

He wasn't actually afraid of those Uchiha brats. Dealing with them would be child's play, but right now, it didn't seem necessary.

Kushina's face burned, but she glared at him fiercely.

This shameless guy kept asking questions he already knew the answers to, forcing her to say things that made her want to disappear from embarrassment.

"What if it's an emergency? Like if I really need to pee… What if they corner me in the bathroom? You can't exactly follow me into the men's room, can you…"

Ryun stifled a laugh, pretending to be serious.

"Then go during the last minute before class starts. They won't have time to do anything to you…"

Kushina had clearly thought of this solution beforehand—or perhaps she had plenty of experience with this kind of thing.

She had been cornered by bullies many times in the past.

"…"

This answer surprised Ryun. Seeing how protective Kushina was of him, he couldn't bring himself to tease her anymore.

"Kushina…"

He lowered his voice, whispering softly.

"Hmm?"

Kushina instinctively responded, her big eyes filled with curiosity.

"Thank you."

"!!!"
