"What?" Reiji was shocked, then he stared at Karina intensely, trying to process the information.
"You-! You really forgot! Reiji, you're annoying!" Karina grumbled, then hurriedly left the classroom with quick steps.
Seeing Karina looking upset, Reiji quickly grabbed his bag and ran to try to catch up with her.
Reiji couldn't let this go; he needed to know more about Kushina, and it seemed that Karina was the key.
"Damn! I didn't expect that Kushina has an older sister named Karina!" Reiji thought in frustration, feeling angry about the plot holes that were never explained in the original Naruto story.
"Wait for me, Karina!" Reiji called out, trying to keep up with her.
"Hey, I'm really sorry, okay?" Reiji pleaded sincerely, but Karina still turned her face away, unwilling to look at him.
"I know, I was wrong... You know I have a terrible memory. Besides, I don't even know how old I am, let alone how old you or Kushina are." Reiji tried to ease the tension while indirectly trying to get the information he needed.
"You're six years old! So am I! Meanwhile, Kushina is three years old!" Karina quickly replied, making Reiji feel relieved and happy.
"Is that so..." Reiji nodded, smiling with relief.
Reiji then realized that he had at least two to three years before a major disaster would come.
"Hmph!" Karina remained upset, although a hint of relief was still visible on her face.
"By the way, where are we going? The central area of Uzushio Village?" Reiji asked curiously, trying to divert attention from the recent tension.
"What? Did you even forget that I live in the central area? What else have you forgotten?" Karina looked at Reiji with a suspicious expression.
"Uh... Hehe..." Reiji scratched his head, feeling embarrassed.
"I am the daughter of the Clan Head, of course I live in the central area!" Karina explained in an annoyed tone.
"What?" Reiji was shocked.
Even though Reiji had suspected that Kushina was the daughter of the Uzumaki Clan Head, the reality still surprised him.
"Don't tell me you also forgot where your own house is?" Karina looked at Reiji with a furrowed brow.
"Uh..." Reiji smiled awkwardly and turned his face away, trying to avoid Karina's gaze.
"Haah... This is your house! Come on, study the 'Basic Book on Explosive Tags' well! If not, you could be in big trouble!" Karina warned Reiji before leaving, leaving him still confused.
"Hey! Thank you, Karina!" Reiji shouted, trying to express his gratitude.
After Karina left, Reiji smiled and finally turned his gaze to his own house.
The house looked simple, two stories, painted in dark blue, with a striking red roof.
The front yard was quite small, surrounded by a simple wooden fence.
Reiji then opened his bag and took out a key.
Although he hesitated at first, he finally decided to try opening the door.
As soon as the door opened, Reiji was greeted by the sight of a simple yet cozy home.
Right in front of him was a small living room, not far from there, the dining room and kitchen were adjacent.
A staircase leading to the second floor was visible next to the living room, and near the stairs, there was a door leading to a room on the first floor.
The room was simple, furnished only with a wooden bed, a small wardrobe, a desk, and a study chair.
Right next to the desk, there was a door leading to a small bathroom.
Then when he went upstairs, Reiji finally found two other rooms, which were almost identical to the room on the first floor.
After exploring the upstairs of the house, Reiji then went back down and noticed a small door near the kitchen, which seemed to lead to a basement.
