Until he was awakened by a roar.
"I want to be the first female Hokage in this village!!!"
The fierce voice belonged to a girl with fiery red hair, Uzumaki Kushina. She had a strong temperament and looked quite fierce—though her bulging cheeks made her look slightly comical.
Her loud declaration seemed to calm the room, and the classroom fell into a brief silence.
Then, Namikaze Minato stood up.
His warm smile was like the rising sun, comforting those around him.
He spoke softly, "I also want to become an outstanding Hokage recognized by the villagers."
Oh!~
Interesting.
Hirito watched Minato with a playful smirk.
Making a strong first impression by expressing the same dream—classic Minato, the future Fourth Hokage.
But why did it seem like these two were maturing at different rates? Weren't girls supposed to mature faster?
Hirito noticed Kushina glaring at Minato, silently mouthing words. From reading her lips, Hirito nearly laughed.
"Sissy!"
Uzumaki Kushina was then assigned to an empty seat.
The third-year course included basic code interpretation, intelligence acquisition, and the Three Body Technique. However, some students struggled with the basics and might not master it by graduation.
After class, as expected, Uzumaki Kushina was surrounded by a group of boys.
"Tomato! From now on, you're Tomato," one boy sneered, pointing at her red hair.
"With that fat, round face and red hair, you look just like a tomato!"
"How can a tomato be Hokage?"
"I hate tomatoes..."
"Yeah, me too. If there are tomatoes in my salad, I won't eat them..."
"How can a tomato that no one likes ever be accepted as Hokage?"
"Haha... hahaha..."
Uzumaki Kushina's face puffed up with anger, her cheeks red as she endured their taunts. Then she glanced around and saw Minato's blond hair in the crowd.
That sissy again?
But—
They were right, weren't they? "Tomato" was too fitting a nickname.
Kushina lowered her head, her face burning with anger and shame.
Then, she felt a sharp pain as one boy tugged on her hair.
"This season, tomatoes are ripening, so let's harvest some fruit!"
Her anger surged, overwhelming her reason.
Smack!
Kushina grabbed the boy's wrist with surprising strength, making him wince in pain.
"Who are you calling a tomato?"
"For the record, I hate tomatoes too."
With her anger fueling her strength, Kushina swung the boy around like a rag doll, knocking down everyone around him.
Understanding the essence of fighting, she turned to the boy who had been the loudest, punched him squarely in the nose, and knocked him to the ground.
The boy cried out in pain, tears and snot streaming down his face.
Kushina jumped on his back and pounded his head with her fists, each blow punctuated by his screams.
"If you insult me again and call me a tomato, I'll make sure you regret it!"
Kushina glared around the room, her fiery gaze daring anyone to challenge her.
She then saw Minato, smiling at her with that same silly grin.
"What's so funny?" she yelled, raising her fist threateningly.
Minato's smile vanished, replaced by fear. He turned away quickly, though he still glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
Kushina huffed, feeling both triumphant and oddly uneasy.
From that day on, Kushina frequently got into fights.
Thanks to her Uzumaki clan's strong physique and potent chakra, she always emerged victorious.
She pounded every boy who dared mock her, leaving them with bruised faces and swollen noses.
There were only a few boys she hadn't beaten yet—the sissy Minato, the quiet Hyuga boy with white eyes, and a few wearing glasses.
And so, the girl with the wild red hair who beat boys senseless earned a new nickname—
"Blood Red Hot Pepper!"
