Chapter 450: Is He Too Handsome?!

Uzumaki Kushina looked bewildered at the two people in front of her.

She always felt that they were odd.

They called her out but said nothing.

When she first arrived in Konoha, she heard that the Hokage was swamped with duties, spending each day either handling paperwork or waiting for documents to arrive.

At first she actually believed it.

Now it seems the Hokage is not as busy as the rumors suggested.

"Um... Hokage, do you have anything else to attend to?"

Kushina asked weakly.

She still has to go back to class soon; where would she find time to linger here?

"That's all, child, you may go back now."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang forced a smile, trying hard to appear benevolent.

But the expression looked oddly strange no matter how one looked at it.

"Yo ho, Tuan Cang, you look terrible when you smile!"

Lian Ye's body jolted at the sight, and he couldn't help to make a snide comment.

Your smile is uglier than a cry.

Won't this really scare the kids?

Lian Ye instinctively looked at Kushina and saw her face turn deathly pale.

Clearly she was frightened by someone's grin.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang: "..."

Is my smile really that terrifying?

He has always been a man of few smiles; after a long time, naturally he stopped smiling altogether.

"Hokage, I'm heading back to class now!"

Kushina bowed deeply to the two of them, then turned and left without hesitation.

The Hokage's smile was just too ugly.

Inside the classroom.

The Uzumaki Clan students, seeing Kushina return, gathered around curiously.

"Kushina, why did the Dean of Education call you?"

"Did the incident where you hit someone get reported to the Dean of Education?"

"Damn, those guys dared to cheat on the report; after school we must give them a good lesson!"

Before she could explain, the clan members were already fuming and ready for revenge.

"It's not like that..."

Kushina gave a rough account of what had just happened.

The Uzumaki clan members listened in confusion, completely not understanding what the Hokage wanted to do.

"You mean the person beside the Hokage wanted to find you? But he only glanced at you and then nothing else?!"

"That should be it."

Actually Kushina also didn't understand why the two were looking for her; it felt inexplicable...

In her mind she had already labeled Lian Ye as a weird uncle.

"Hey, look, that blond kid is back!"

Hearing this, everyone turned to look out the window.

A short-haired, light golden boy with deep blue eyes and a delicate appearance stood outside the window.

An apologetic smile hung on his face.

"Is this guy trying to pick a fight with us?"

"How infuriating, their class spoke rudely first, Kushina got angry and acted, and now they come back to provoke us!"

The situation was simple: when Kushina passed the entrance of Minato's Class, a few short-sighted classmates gave her a nickname.

Kushina instantly erupted in fury and beat several of them hard.

And the Uzumaki students, knowing Minato is the class's Squad Leader, feared his arrival now might be hostile...

"Don't worry, Kushina, we'll stand up for you!"

A crowd of Uzumaki students shuffled out of the classroom, surrounding Bofeng Shuimen in the middle.

Seeing this, Kushina hurried out, fearing the classmates might impulsively injure the blond kid.

"Calm down, all of you!"

She didn't want the classmates to be punished by the school because of her.

Bofeng Shuimen was surrounded by a group of fierce redheads and was momentarily bewildered.

Fortunately the crowd soon cleared a path, and Uzumaki Kushina stepped forward, asking coldly.

"Hey, are you trying to avenge those people?"

Bofeng Shuimen was taken aback by the words, but quickly recovered, a smile appearing on his face.

"Student, you misunderstand."

"I came to apologize on behalf of the class's students; they shouldn't have given you a nickname."

"I am very sorry for the trouble I caused you..."

As the class's Squad Leader, he naturally had to clean up after the classmates.

To prevent the conflict between the two classes from escalating.

If those classmates weren't still in the infirmary now, he would have brought people to apologize.

Uzumaki Kushina looked at the sincere boy before her, and the anger in her heart dissipated by more than half.

"The fault in this matter isn't yours; next time make them keep their mouths clean, otherwise I will show no mercy!"

Kushina clenched her small fists and waved them in front of him, displaying her own strength.

"Alright, okay..."

Bofeng Shuimen couldn't help but feel embarrassed; this female classmate is a bit violent!

He must never provoke her.

"By the way, I'm Uzumaki Kushina, what's your name?"

"Hello, classmate Kushina, I'm Bofeng Shuimen."

From the rooftop of the opposite teaching building, Lian Ye took in everything.

"Tsk tsk, now I'm relieved."

Although they're not in the same class, they've already gotten to know each other.

In about ten more years, the Destined Protagonist will be born.

"You seem quite concerned about them, don't you?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's gaze at Lian Ye was full of confusion.

He didn't understand why Lian Ye had traveled so far to see the two children.

Is there something special about the two of them?

"Minato is a disciple confirmed by Zilaoye; is there a problem with me caring about my disciple's future marriage?"

Lian Ye explained with a cheerful smile.

Minato displayed astonishing talent since childhood and was taken as a disciple by Zilaoye long ago.

As soon as Bofeng Shuimen graduates from school, he can join Zilaoye on missions.

"Hehe, you have time to worry about your disciple; why not worry about your own marriage instead?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang snidely curled his lip.

This guy is already in his thirties, yet he does nothing every day and doesn't even have a partner.

He's really useless.

Unlike Lian Ye, he needs to handle state affairs daily, having no time for romance.

Lian Ye's smile froze instantly, and then he retorted irritably.

"Acting as if you have a partner."

"I spend every day handling paperwork, where would I find time? Yet you are idle all day, and you don't even have a woman by your side..."

With this comparison, the superiority is evident!

Lian Ye: "…"

Tuan Cang actually uses being busy with work as an excuse.

That's really shameless.

He suns himself at home every day; he's also very busy, okay?

"Tuan Cang, I'm simply not interested in women; otherwise, with my qualifications, the girls who want to marry me could line up from here to the Whirlpool Country, understand?"

Good looks require good looks, wealth requires wealth, strength requires strength.

Finding a partner with such criteria is as easy as drinking water.

It's just that he's not interested.

"Hehe."

Tuan Cang only smiled, saying nothing.

"No, why are you laughing?"

"I'm serious, I'm not joking with you!"

"Look at my looks—aren't they explosively handsome?!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang looked at Lian Ye's serious expression, was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm going back to the office to handle paperwork."

With that, he turned and left.

Lian Ye: "…"

Jealousy—it's pure, unadulterated jealousy!
