Naruto: No One Knows That I Can Use Wood Release!

Araki always maintained the same speed as Kushina, keeping the distance between them, so they wouldn't appear too close in the eyes of others.

"It's not quite as I imagined..."

Araki silently complained in his heart. If this were in the previous real world, he would undoubtedly be seen as a typical scumbag. If given a more euphemistic term, he might be called a big straight man.

Even in the ninja world, with Kushina's personality, she would definitely not be able to control herself and would throw punches in anger.

He had mentally prepared himself for Kushina's rage.

That way, he could take the opportunity to shake off this troublesome girl who had been following him since arriving in Konoha.

"I'm like this, and she can still keep up. Is she out of her mind?"

Araki was also quite helpless in his heart. When he acted in that manner, he felt some remorse as well.

To some extent, he was hiding his abilities, trying to be low-key, and making himself almost invisible.

This wasn't because he had a solitary personality.

Everyone hoped to be noticed and become a star among others.

But...

It depended on whether he had the strength to bear the consequences.

Araki was well aware that until he had enough power to support his identity as a Wood Release ninja, he had to stay low-key, develop subtly, step by step, and avoid stirring up too much trouble.

...

After some time.

Araki entered the ninja school and went straight to his usual seat, sitting down.

The whole process was as usual, without any presence, and there was no eye contact with any of his classmates.

The students in the class were already used to this, paying no attention to Araki at all. In their eyes, Araki simply didn't exist.

Step by step...

Just as Araki had entered not long ago, Kushina rushed in, panting heavily. She had been trying hard to catch up with Araki, but no matter how she ran, she couldn't catch up.

"Damn it!"

Kushina leaned against the classroom door frame, gasping for breath, her beautiful eyes staring intently at Araki, who was flipping through a book inside his bag.

Even from a classroom's distance, Araki could feel the intensity of her gaze.

However...

It wasn't the sharp blade he had imagined.

It was more like a gentle knife.

It felt like it was stabbing, yet it didn't leave any wounds or pain. It cut at the conscience in his heart.

"Kushina!"

The students in the class brightened their eyes as they saw Kushina. They all looked towards her.

The attitudes of the students here were completely different from the original historical trajectory.

It had to be said that this was the price of being arrogant.

In the interaction they had yesterday, almost every student had a general understanding of Kushina's personality. She was easygoing and easy to get along with, and her goddess-like appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Of course, among them was a seemingly shy boy who didn't come forward like the others to greet Kushina, but secretly kept an eye on her—the Hyuga clan member, who had been paying continuous attention to Kushina.

In just one day, Kushina had become the little princess in the class, the goddess in the hearts of many boys who were just beginning to experience love.

Children in the ninja world were already a bit more mature, having understood these things early on. In the class, there weren't many likable and adorable girls. Kushina's arrival perfectly filled that void.

"Hmm?"

The students in the class noticed that Kushina's mood seemed off. Her reddened eyes looked as if she had been crying.

As they followed Kushina's gaze, their eyes immediately focused on Araki.

And when they recalled that Araki had just entered the classroom, with Kushina panting and following closely behind, their eyes were filled with resentment in relation to Araki...

Understood!

After intense imagination, these students seemed to have come up with a plot that exceeded 800 words.

It must be that Kushina wanted to be friends with Araki but received no response, which led to her current appearance.

With this in mind, the students in the class were no longer surprised.

"Kushina, don't mind that weirdo. He's always like that!"

"I can vouch for that. He's not targeting you specifically; he's like that with everyone. Just a weirdo!"

"It's better not to be friends with him!"

"Araki doesn't seem to have any friends at all!"

"He's not worthy of making friends!"

"Kushina, don't bother with that person. He's been through something traumatic before, so he's not normal in the head!"

..."

The students in the class explained to Kushina with enthusiasm, and their intentions were evident—they hoped that Kushina wouldn't let Araki, this strange person, ruin her mood.

As more and more people spoke, Kushina's face grew darker. She clenched her fists tightly, and faint veins appeared on the back of her hands. Her slightly trembling body seemed to be restraining something.

Don't engage in conflicts!

Kushina's mind echoed Araki's words. She couldn't explain why, but Araki's words helped her calm down continuously.

"Alright then!"

Kushina took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. It seemed like she had released a great deal of pressure from her heart, and she followed it up with a forced smile.

She decided to let go of the students present!

After all, they were all classmates.

And they would have to spend time together.

Most importantly...

Araki specifically reminded her of this.

She didn't want to do anything that would disappoint Araki!

...

The change in Kushina's emotions was evident to the students in the class. They had noticed that Kushina seemed greatly aggrieved in this matter.

However...

They were unaware that it was they themselves whom Kushina had just endured.

They thought it was Araki.

In an instant, their gazes shifted towards Araki, and those gazes were truly sharp, capable of killing.

In that moment...

The students in the class felt that Araki had offended their goddess in their hearts.

In their hearts, they had already developed the intention to stand up for their goddess and teach Araki a lesson to win the favor of their goddess.

"Sigh..."

Araki felt the gazes directed at him and felt extremely helpless in his heart. He tried his best to appear low-key, but at this moment, he became the target of everyone's disdain.

"Beautiful beauty is a disaster!"

Araki couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He hadn't even done anything significant with Kushina, and yet, many people had already set their sights on him.

If these people found out that they were living together...

The scene would be too beautiful, too unimaginable!
