A small Wind Release formed in Tatsumi's hand.
He sat under a large tree, blowing the wind while drinking chilled watermelon juice.
The cool, sweet, and sour taste made his drowsy brain feel much better.
"Chilled watermelon juice, anyone?"
Tatsumi shook the cup in his hand, letting out a pleasant sigh.
The watermelon juice in his hand was a chilled drink sealed by Mikoto using a scroll.
"It's so refreshing!"
"Um... Tatsumi, what happened just now? Why does everyone look so miserable?" Kushina asked Tatsumi, who was sitting under the tree enjoying the breeze.
Having just woken up, she hadn't felt anything. Therefore, she escaped the ordeal.
"Well, how should I put it... it was like Uncle Nishimura used verbal abuse... no! It should be said that we suffered a mental genjutsu attack..." Tatsumi shook his head, still feeling shaken.
"It's normal for Nishimura-sensei to be angry if you guys want to skip class," Mikoto said.
However, she kept her head down, continuously taking out various fruits from her small scroll.
"That's not how it is, Mikoto. There's a good reason why we want to run away."
"If we continue to sit in those seats, all the moisture in our bodies will evaporate and dry up. Right, Minato?" Nawaki defended himself while taking a drink.
"Ahaha. Nawaki is right, those seats of ours get the most sunlight... no, it's more accurate to say they get excessive sunlight!" Minato scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
I didn't expect Minato to say something like that.
A few years ago, Minato was still a good kid who wouldn't skip class. Now, he's learned to skip class too.
It has to be said that the environment is important. Nawaki's ability to corrupt others is really amazing. Tatsumi sighed inwardly.
Although it was true that he was the one who proposed skipping class.
But speaking of this, Tatsumi finally experienced the importance of curtains firsthand.
The so-called curtains aren't just for blocking people from peeking into the room at certain special times...
"Really? My seat isn't that hot, so I'm not very clear on that," Kushina said, shaking her head.
"My seat doesn't get any sunlight either, so it's not a big problem," Mikoto continued.
"But our seats are exposed to harsh sunlight, so much so that it's hard to just sit there. Not to mention Nishimura-sensei's class is so boring," Nawaki argued.
"You say it's serious, but how serious is it?" Kushina asked.
"Well, it's about the same as Nawaki's IQ," Tatsumi thought for a moment and said.
"Oh. That's indeed so serious that it's not something an ordinary person can handle," Kushina looked at Tatsumi with understanding and nodded.
"....."
"By the way, what did Nishimura-sensei say at the end of class? I was unconscious at the time," Nawaki asked.
"He said it's our turn to do the school-wide cleaning again this time," Tatsumi sighed.
"What! Didn't we clean it last year?" Nawaki jumped up and said loudly.
"Oh, he said that last year was the fourth grade's cleaning, and this year it's the fifth grade's turn," Tatsumi spread his hands helplessly.
"...."
"Nishimura-sensei, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"Speaking of which, what Nishimura-sensei said makes me a little concerned," the little sun, Minato, suddenly said.
Everyone's gazes turned to Minato.
"Nishimura-sensei said that the village's atmosphere has been strange recently, and it's almost under martial law. This has never happened before," Minato continued.
"Hmm... indeed.
I heard my sister say that there have been conflicts between the Rain Country and the Grass Country recently. The Grass Country is our ally."
Nawaki started revealing his inside information again. According to him, there's no information in Konoha that he doesn't know.
War? Tatsumi thought carefully. The Second Shinobi World War did happen in these years. But the manga didn't mention the specific time and trigger of the Second Shinobi World War.
In his previous life, he was far from war.
In this life, he is destined to go to the battlefield.
"I wonder if I can come back from the battlefield after the war breaks out," Nawaki suddenly showed a bright smile and brought up this topic.
It seemed that death was not a heavy topic for him.
"As long as you don't get blown up by explosive tags, you should be able to come back safely," Tatsumi said seriously, looking at Nawaki.
"Don't be silly. How could I be so stupid? What kind of idiot would be blown up by something like explosive tags!" Nawaki was angry at Tatsumi for questioning his intelligence.
"Besides, I still have a few wishes that haven't been fulfilled yet. I can't die yet," Nawaki said seriously.
"What wishes? Tell me, in case you don't have a chance to say them later," Tatsumi looked up at Nawaki.
"Well, first, I don't have a girlfriend yet," Nawaki said seriously.
"Then, I'm sorry. It seems like your first wish can't be fulfilled," Tatsumi showed a regretful expression.
"Tch, my standards are very low, okay?"
"A pretty face is a dime a dozen, but an interesting soul is hard to find. Which one would you choose?"
"Then... can't I... have both...?"
Tatsumi loosened his collar, he felt a little suffocated.
Then he kicked Nawaki.
"Is that what you call low standards?"
Minato: "..."
Let's just pretend I didn't see that.
The little sun Minato silently looked away, pretending that he didn't know these two people.
Minato didn't understand Nawaki's wish for a girlfriend.
Minato at this age hadn't started having thoughts in that area. He hadn't started developing feelings for the opposite sex.
In his opinion, those girls in the class who confessed to him weren't even half as interesting as Tatsumi... well, not even half!
Tatsumi knows a lot of ninjutsu, has a good foundation, and doesn't hide various ninjutsu. As long as he's interested, he'll teach him anything.
Tatsumi sharing knowledge with him, and the training sessions, are the times when Minato is happiest and most excited.
Over the past few years, Minato has regarded Tatsumi as his best friend.
And those girls in the class only know how to be infatuated and don't know anything else.
So, for him, it's better to take advantage of the free time to read more about chakra theory.
"Hey, Tatsumi." Just as Tatsumi and Nawaki were playing around, Minato quickened his pace and caught up with Tatsumi.
"What's wrong?" Tatsumi glanced at Minato.
"Stop fooling around, how about we go to the training ground for a long-awaited youthful battle?" Minato smiled mysteriously.
