Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
Ruofeng was still in the classroom, looking at the blond-haired boy standing in front of him.
“Hello… My name is Minato Namikaze. I’m the one sitting in front of you!”
Minato was still a young boy, but he wore a gentle smile that radiated warmth.
There was no denying that Minato had already been handsome even as a child, and his smile was remarkably infectious.
Ruofeng smiled faintly.
“Aren’t you afraid of being excluded because of us?”
As he spoke, Ruofeng glanced at the other students in the classroom.
The moment his gaze swept across them, the previously noisy classroom instantly fell silent.
His words that morning had caused the students to become hostile toward him.
Yet when faced with Ruofeng’s gaze, every one of them showed fear.
Ruofeng himself didn’t know that his sensory ability could have such an effect.
Perhaps he could ask his grandfather after returning home.
For now, however, the students didn’t dare approach him.
They silently excluded Ruofeng and the two girls.
Minato, who was quite popular in the class, had nevertheless come over.
He clearly wasn’t afraid of being excluded himself.
Minato scratched his head and chuckled.
“It’s fine. They just don’t understand you yet. Once they get to know you, they’ll naturally become friends with you.”
“Hmph…”
Kushina snorted, clearly unimpressed by Minato’s smile.
Minato looked somewhat awkward.
Ruofeng, however, spoke up.
“You certainly have a personality. Then let me introduce myself again. My name is Ruofeng.”
After speaking, Ruofeng looked toward Kushina.
Kushina met his gaze.
“Fine, fine… I’ll introduce myself again for Ruofeng’s sake. My name is Kushina Uzumaki, and my dream is to become Konoha’s first female Hokage!”
Her straightforward introduction left Minato smiling awkwardly.
As for Reiko, her quiet introduction was at least understandable to Minato.
As they continued talking, Ruofeng became familiar with Minato and also learned quite a bit about life at the Ninja Academy from him.
Before long, it was time to leave school.
Yamada had yet to announce the end of class when Nawaki suddenly walked into the classroom.
“Ruofeng! Hurry up and come out! I’m taking you somewhere fun today!”
His words completely ignored the teacher standing there.
Yamada could only smile awkwardly.
After all, he knew exactly who Nawaki was.
The grandson of the First Hokage possessed a certain degree of privilege throughout Konoha. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
Even the Third Hokage couldn’t say much about it.
Yamada immediately announced,
“Class dismissed! Everyone can go home!”
Ruofeng took Kushina’s hand and walked toward Nawaki.
As for the other students in the classroom, they remained silent.
They weren’t only afraid of Ruofeng’s gaze.
They were also afraid of Nawaki.
It seemed that Nawaki was something of a little tyrant at the Ninja Academy.
Ruofeng shook his head and followed Nawaki out of the classroom.
Not long afterward, they were sitting inside a shop.
Ruofeng sampled some refreshments while listening to Nawaki speak.
“Ruofeng…
No one bullied you guys in class, right?
If anyone did, tell me.
I’ll teach them a lesson.
“You should know that I’m the boss of the Ninja Academy!”
His words sounded like something out of a street gang, which was rather strange coming from a child.
Ruofeng’s mouth twitched.
“Just eat your ice cream. Stop talking about being the boss.”
Ruofeng was speechless.
At this point, he was certain that Nawaki really was the First Hokage’s grandson.
Based on the original story, Ruofeng had imagined Nawaki as a passionate, hot-blooded boy similar to Naruto.
But judging from what he was seeing now, Nawaki had inherited some of the First Hokage’s personality as well.
Being the boss, gambling, fighting…
Nawaki seemed to have inherited all of it.
Ruofeng couldn’t help wondering how Hashirama had raised his children.
Tsunade had inherited his bad habits, and now Nawaki had inherited them as well.
This method of education was certainly worth studying.
As time passed, night gradually fell.
A man slowly approached Nawaki and whispered,
“Young Master… Lady Mito wants you to return.”
Nawaki nodded silently.
He then looked at Ruofeng.
“Ruofeng… I’ll head back first. I’ll take you out to play again tomorrow!”
Ruofeng gave him a disdainful look.
“Take me out to play? I think you just want to eat and drink for free. This shop belongs to my family too!”
“Who told you to be rich? No wonder my sister always mentions you. So it’s because you’re rich!”
With that, Nawaki grinned mischievously and ran off.
After Nawaki left, Kushina also looked toward Ruofeng.
“Ruofeng… I’ll head back too.”
Ruofeng nodded and watched the three of them leave.
He already had a good relationship with Kushina, and what happened that morning had completely caused her to side with Ruofeng.
She didn’t hide any of her secrets from him.
Kushina was currently living with the Senju clan and receiving instruction from Uzumaki Mito.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons Kushina would become so powerful in the future.
Although Kushina didn’t appear many times in the original story, it was obvious that she wasn’t weak.
After all, someone personally taught by Uzumaki Mito couldn’t possibly be ordinary.
Nawaki also knew Kushina’s identity.
In fact, he had come to Ruofeng’s classroom that day not only to see Ruofeng, but also to make sure his younger sister wasn’t being bullied.
After watching the three leave, one of the shop’s servants approached Ruofeng.
“Young Master… Are you heading home as well?”
Ruofeng nodded.
“Yes.
Let’s head back too.
“From now on, whenever these three come to any of our shops or businesses, everything is free. Especially Kushina. Make sure she is taken good care of.”
The servant immediately nodded.
He also memorized Kushina’s appearance carefully.
There was a possibility that this girl could one day become their future mistress.
Ruofeng didn’t care what the servants were thinking.
He simply left the shop and headed home.
Not long afterward, Ruofeng returned to his bedroom.
As soon as he arrived, he saw his grandfather walking in.
Grandfather smiled.
“Ruofeng… You gained quite a lot today. It seems you’ve already used your sensory ability unconsciously.”
Ruofeng was surprised.
“How did you know, Grandfather?”
Today, perhaps because of his anger, his spiritual power had unconsciously spread outward along with his words.
That strange coldness within his spiritual power had caused those students to fear him.
Even Ruofeng himself found it strange.
Yet the moment he returned home, his grandfather already knew what had happened.
Grandfather chuckled.
“Excellent… As expected of someone who inherited your mother’s spiritual power. You awakened the ability of my clan so quickly.”
