Chapter 267 Blood Red Pepper
Chapter 267 Blood Red Pepper
"Who are they? Do you know them?" Yusuke asked him.
Shengshu whispered: "I know the girl with red hair. She is from my grandmother's tribe."
Kosuke frowned, touched the rope tree with his arm, and urged him: "Hurry up and stop it. If you pull her hair so hard, she will be in pain."
Just as Naoki was about to stop him, he saw Kushina reluctantly breaking away from the boy's grasp. She was so angry that she was like a little beast forced into a corner. She showed her self-protection instinct as a beast and quickly turned around and gave him two blows. A punch followed by a flying kick. She knocked the boy to the ground without giving him a chance to fight back. She sat on top of him and punched him in the face one after another.
She felt aggrieved, waving her fists and saying, "But this hair is also part of me, and there's nothing I can do about it!"
Kosuke was stunned, watching her rain-like fists fall on the opponent's face, and counterattacked the person who bullied her.
Shen Shu smiled awkwardly, "She is actually... quite powerful. I heard that she has a nickname called Blood Red Pepper. It seems that it is because she can fight very well."
Kushina finally had enough beatings. She stood up suddenly and stood there sadly. The child who was about the same age as her had long been scared away.
"An outsider!" The boy who was beaten by her stood up unsteadily, and shouted at Kushina: "It is impossible for an outsider to become Hokage!"
After that, he left the place without looking back. Maybe he was embarrassed, maybe he was ashamed of being beaten up by a girl who had not graduated. In short, he didn't make any more moves and just left like that.
The boy's words shocked Kushina greatly. She looked at the back of the other person running away, her eyes trembling.
This sentence from outsiders made her feel more pain than all the punches she had received before. It was not a blow to her body, but a blow to her heart.
Kagura once said that she was also an outsider, but Konoha accepted her and she became the Hokage's wife.
She said that Konoha would also accept her. What she said... was a lie, right?
Kushina, you have been deceived. This is not the case at all. An outsider is an outsider, and you are an outsider to Konoha!
When his trembling eyes inadvertently saw the figure on the tree trunk, he instantly changed from despair and hurt to anger. This boy was wearing a sports coat and had very conspicuous golden hair.
Kushina knew him, he was a classmate in her class, a boy who also had the dream of being Hokage - Namikaze Minato.
Haha, isn’t this person a classmate of mine? Is he a classmate of the same class?
"Is it because I'm a foreigner that you won't help me?"
Minato was stunned for a moment when she suddenly asked him this question. He quickly explained, "I..."
He said he was a soy sauce guy, would Kushina believe it?
But Kushina didn't give him a chance to explain. She asked him loudly, "You think so too, right?"
She didn't wait for Minato's answer. It didn't matter to her what the answer was. The fact that he could quietly watch her being bullied without helping explained everything.
Kushina ran away crying. She didn't want to cry at first, but the moment she turned around, tears still ran out disobediently. She was as sad as the day when Uzushio Village was destroyed.
It was fear then, but now it is deep disappointment.
She desperately wanted to integrate into this village, to become a part of Konoha, to have a bond with this village, to have a home and companions here.
She has clearly put in a lot of effort, and she has clearly not taken the initiative to provoke anyone. Why, she just exists and has a rare hair color, so she becomes an alien?
Kushina ran away, and Minato looked at her back for a while and then left too. Only Nasuki and Yusuke were left here.
He clearly saw Kushina being bullied, but as her acquaintance and even relative in this village, he did not come forward to help her immediately. What was the difference between him and that yellow-haired boy?
After coming back to his senses, Naoki felt that he had gone too far. In fact, he almost stopped him, but he didn't expect that at that time, Kushina suddenly broke away from the opponent and counterattacked with an overwhelming advantage.
Kosuke stared blankly in the direction where Kushina ran away. Her red hair was so beautiful, like a red waterfall.
"She shouldn't complain to my grandmother, right?" Shen Shu said angrily.
Kosuke glanced at him and smiled bitterly, "Are you afraid that she will tell Mr. Mito that you watched helplessly but didn't help her?"
"..." Naoshu scratched his head and said nothing, but his expression said everything.
"But she doesn't know you're here, does she?"
"That's right," Nao Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't let go.
Boys their age already knew what was right and wrong, but he still felt guilty for not standing up.
Kosuke looked at the direction where Kushina ran away again. At this time, the red-haired girl was no longer there.
He walked behind the bushes and saw many red thread-like hairs scattered on the green grass. He bent down and picked up a strand.
The red hair lay quietly in his hand. He frowned and said, "It must be very painful for her to have so much hair taken off..."
Naoshu looked at him in confusion and exhaled, "Who knows, probably."
"Such a hair color is really rare."
"Ah," Shengshu responded, and then added: "But Xu has been looking at her grandmother's hair since she was a child. This color... I don't think it's okay. I don't know why the boys in the village tease her because of her hair color. .”
"Are you always teased and bullied?"
Naoshu nodded and smiled sheepishly, "Maybe, I heard Shancha say that by chance. She said that the child's clothes were dirty almost every time he came home, as if he had gotten into a fight with someone. of."
"Is that so..."
"What's wrong, Kosuke, are you interested in that child?"
When asked by Naoki, Kosuke was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. He was a little embarrassed and explained: "No, I just feel a little curious."
As if she couldn't understand him, Naoshu said casually: "You are so strange."
Holding his hands at this moment, Kosuke smiled and said softly: "But she is a very brave girl. There are not many brave girls like her nowadays."
"Who knows? I don't know many girls. I said, Yukisuke, let's go. Don't you want to visit Yinglan's house before going home?"
"Ah, that's it." Yusuke took a few steps to catch up with Nosuki, and the two teenagers walked side by side in the direction of Koshimizu's house.
Kushina ran and gradually stopped. This was a path full of cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms that were supposed to wither in late spring were improved due to Orochimaru's plant research. The improved cherry blossoms Able to open during the summer.
The breeze in the summer evening brings a biting heat wave along this cherry blossom trail, and the petals on the branches fall one by one, feeling the wind chasing them.
Standing here, you can see the Shadow Rock behind the Hokage's office, where the heads of the two brothers Hashirama and Tobirama are carved clearly and three-dimensionally.
Kushina looked up for a long time, feeling an uncontrollable anger in her heart.
It's because I don't want to be treated as an outsider and I want to treat this place as my hometown, that's why I say that. Who really wants to be Hokage?
She didn't even know what Hokage needed to do. She just felt that the person most recognized and respected by the villagers could become Hokage. She just wanted to be such a person.
"Sister Kagura..." Gritting her teeth in grievance, Kushina sobbed, "You lied to me, didn't you?"
