After School
As expected, Naruto Uzumaki and Kushina Uzumaki were called to the teacher's office after class.
After a long lecture from Sensei Morino, the two were finally allowed to leave.
Just before their departure, Morino spoke up:
"Naruto Uzumaki, you've already started training your chakra, haven't you?"
Naruto froze for a moment, then replied in a calm tone, "Yes, Sensei Morino. I've already begun chakra training."
"I knew it. The chakra fluctuations in the classroom this morning came from you. Be more mindful next time. Don't experiment alone recklessly."
"Thank you for the concern, Sensei. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way. It's already late."
"Alright, head home early." Morino paused briefly before continuing, "And Kushina Uzumaki, you should leave too. Make sure you come to class on time tomorrow."
"Got it, Sensei Morino," Kushina replied.
"Also..."
While responding to Morino, Kushina kept stealing glances at Naruto, whose expression remained indifferent.

On the Way Home
Suddenly, Kushina darted in front of Naruto, blocking his path.
"Naruto Uzumaki, let's introduce ourselves formally. My name is Kushina Uzumaki. Let's get along from now on!"
Naruto gave a brief nod.
"Mm. My name is Naruto Uzumaki."
With that, he sidestepped her and continued walking, showing no interest in lingering.
So annoying!
Kushina puffed up her cheeks in frustration. She had approached with goodwill—why didn't he even try to respond?
If he didn't want to deal with her, why had he stepped in to help her in the classroom?
It was baffling, frustrating, and made her head spin.
For someone like Kushina, whose thoughts were simple and direct, this is not bearable. She needed an explanation from him.
Quickening her pace, she caught up with Naruto again and placed her hands firmly on his shoulders.
Naruto was forced to stop. With a slightly irritated tone, he asked, "Kushina Uzumaki, what exactly do you want? Don't you know how annoying you're being right now?"
"If I'm so annoying, then why did you help me in the classroom earlier? Why didn't you just sit back and watch?"
Naruto froze at her words, lowering his head awkwardly. His voice grew soft and subdued.
"I couldn't just stand by."
"You're really strange. Also, if you're an Uzumaki, why's your hair blonde? And don't your parents ever come to pick you up?"
A breeze swept through, and Kushina's long hair brushed against Naruto's nose, tickling slightly.
Naruto's expression suddenly shifted, his brow furrowing deeply. Closing his eyes, he appeared to be fighting an inner struggle.
"Kushina, don't touch me. Let go of me right now," he murmured through clenched teeth.
"Why? I washed my hands before leaving this morning!" Kushina tilted her head in confusion.
Unable to hold back any longer, Naruto abruptly looked up, his blue eyes now gleaming a sinister crimson.
The pupils had transformed into sharp fox-like slits, staring at Kushina with a predatory intent.
"Kushina, you—"
Before she could react, Naruto broke free from her grip, then wrapped his arms around her in a tight embrace. Their proximity resembled an intimate gesture between lovers.
Kushina froze in shock, entirely unprepared for his sudden boldness.
Cold and distant moments ago, now he was... like this?
Naruto's breath lingered against her cheek. As her face turned red, Kushina couldn't help but feel flustered.
Under the setting sun's gaze, Naruto smirked. Leaning closer, he murmured, "Hmm..."
Kushina stared at him blankly, unable to believe what was happening.
Naruto was kissing her.
It was her first kiss!
Panicking, Kushina began struggling desperately, but she lacked the strength to push him away.
After several failed attempts to escape, her energy faded, leaving her no choice but to endure the kiss.
When they finally parted, a thin, transparent string of saliva lingered between their lips.
"You jerk!" Kushina yelled, biting down on Naruto's wrist in retaliation.
Naruto winced slightly but didn't complain or pull away.
Kushina bit hard, leaving a deep red mark. The faint taste of blood and iron lingered in her mouth.
"Why didn't you dodge?"
As she loosened her grip, Naruto quickly retracted his hand. "It really hurts," he muttered under his breath.
The metallic tang of blood calmed Kushina's anger slightly.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving," Naruto said flatly.
"Hey, you're not even going to apologize? That was my first kiss!"
"It was my first kiss too. If you think about it, you didn't lose out."
"You shameless idiot!"
*(TL/N - WTF Naruto💀💀☠️ I have a mixed feeling on this)

Later That Evening
In Konoha's bustling shopping district, the two sat inside a dango shop.
Naruto, with a skewer of dumplings in his mouth, glared at Kushina with a conflicted expression.
Beautiful women are the most deceptive, he thought to himself.
Kushina had cleaned out his wallet in no time.
Naruto wasn't stingy with money, but for some reason, he felt a pang of regret today.
While chewing on her dango, Kushina asked, "Naruto, shouldn't you get your hand treated at a hospital?"
"It's fine. It's already healed."
He showed her his wrist, where the bloodied bite mark had completely vanished, replaced by smooth, unblemished skin.
"Wow! You know medical ninjutsu?"
"Sort of," Naruto replied, his words muffled by the dango in his mouth.
