After school, Kushina walked home alone with an indifferent expression. No one knew what she was thinking.
Naruto and Minato secretly followed her, hiding in a pile of grass so as not to be discovered by Kushina.
Minato looked at Kushina in front and said excitedly.
"Kushina is in front, Naruto, should I go now?"
Naruto nodded and encouraged Minato.
"Well, you go now. Remember, you have to be loud and mean."
Minato nodded firmly, walked out of the grass, and called out to Kushina who was in front of him.
"Hey, wait a minute."
Kushina turned her head and saw Minato. Her face was long, and she said with a displeased tone.
"What are you doing here, looking for a beating?"
Minato was embarrassed, his face was a little red. He hesitated whether he should directly scold her or not, but because of what happened in the morning, he still had some lingering fear and couldn't help but look behind him.
Naruto smiled faintly and gave him a thumbs up. Minato shouted at Kushina.
"Ugly, I'm going to tell you now, you're ugly, your hair is ugly, it doesn't even match tomatoes, it's uglier than chili."
Kushina's face was red, not because of shyness, but because of anger. Her hair was flying, her fists were clenched, and her small body was trembling.
She didn't expect that Minato wouldn't be satisfied after scolding her once. He wanted to continue. Now, she hated Minato to the core. She just wanted to beat him up.
Minato looked at Kushina's expression, and his heart skipped a beat. He obviously realized that something was wrong. Everything was wrong with what Naruto said. Minato panicked and turned his head to look at Naruto's direction. Behind the pile of grass, there was only half of Naruto's figure.
Minato was about to cry. He turned to Kushina and said.
"Wait, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it. In fact, I … Ah, don't hit me, I'll apologize."
Kushina clenched her fists and rushed up, roaring like a little lion.
"Minato, I'm going to teach you a lesson today. How dare you scold me."
A fist smashed into Minato's face. Minato's body spun 360 degrees and flew out. He hit the ground and slid a few meters on the ground before stopping.
Minato, whose mouth was bleeding, looked at Kushina in a daze.
Kushina was so angry that she almost went crazy. She clenched her small fist and hit Minato's handsome face again and again.
If it weren't for Naruto stopping him, Minato would have been beaten to death. Seeing that Minato was about to die, Naruto knew that it was almost time. He ran from the front and grabbed Kushina's clenched fist.
"Forget it, he didn't do it on purpose."
Kushina turned her head and found that it was Naruto. The anger on her face calmed down, and she said with a slightly unhappy tone.
"He scolded me twice. How could it not be intentional?"
Naruto said with a faint smile.
"Don't bother about him. If you continue to hit him, it will only hurt your hand. If your hand hurts, I will be very sad."
Kushina's face blushed. Naruto's caring words made her cheeks hot. She lowered her head and whispered.
"Well, I won't hit you."
Minato looked at Naruto angrily and shouted.
"Naruto, you lied to me. How dare you lie to me."
Naruto glanced at Minato, who couldn't even stand up. He chuckled and ignored him. Instead, he took Kushina's hand and whispered.
"Let's ignore this madman and go somewhere else to talk."
Kushina nodded obediently. She was confused by Naruto's words. She couldn't hear Minato's words.
…
Naruto took Kushina away and walked towards the secluded woods in front of them.
Kushina asked in a daze.
"Naruto-kun, why did you bring me here?"
Naruto turned his head and stared at Kushina's round face.
"Confession."
Kushina blushed and didn't dare to look at Naruto. She whispered.
"Naruto, don't joke around. I really want to go home now."
She said and struggled gently. Her struggle was very weak. She didn't have the demeanor of a blood red pepper.
Naruto pulled Kushina to a slightly deeper place and stopped. He turned his head to look at her, curled his lips, and said with a faint smile.
"I'm not joking. I really want to confess. But before that, I want to hear what you think of me."
Kushina looked up at Naruto and found that he wasn't joking. She was so nervous that her hands were sweating. She didn't dare to look at Naruto and didn't speak. She just stood there quietly.
Naruto understood that Kushina might really have a good impression of him. He didn't think much about it. He sorted out the words in his heart and said.
"Actually, I've liked you since the first day of school. My favorite thing is your hair. Your hair is really beautiful. It's so beautiful that I was instantly fascinated by it."
Naruto raised his hand and picked up Kushina's long red hair. It was soft and smooth.
Kushina noticed that her hair was touched by Naruto. Her cheeks were hot. She raised her round face and looked at Naruto.
"Naruto-kun, are you telling the truth? Do you really like my hair?"
Naruto nodded and said seriously.
"Well, I don't just like your hair. I also like you. What I like the most is you."
Kushina's face was red. She had never heard such sweet words. She was at a loss. She barely calmed down and said softly to Naruto.
"Naruto is the first person to praise my hair. Everyone else said that my hair is ugly. Only Naruto understands me the most."
Naruto stared at Kushina's eyes and said softly.
"If I can, I'd like to touch your hair forever. I'd like to be the person you understand the most."
Kushina blushed. This time she didn't look away. Her eyes flashed with a strange light.
"Naruto, is what you said true? I can really make you like me forever."
Naruto nodded and said seriously.
"Well, I swear I will take good care of you for the rest of my life."
Kushina was shy because of the sweetness in her heart. Her face was rippling like a fresh flower. She smiled and said to Naruto.
"Well, I also like Naruto. Because Naruto is the first person to say that he likes me. I'm willing to give my all for Naruto. I'll only show my hair to Naruto.
