Chapter 163
The unexpected scream grabbed everyone's attention. At the school gate, a little red-haired girl pointed a trembling finger at Haruto Saito and Minato Namikaze, her hair practically standing on end from sheer rage.
"It's him! He's the one who dumped noodles on my head! That bastard! And he still dares to show his face in front of me?! Catch him! Catch him!!" Uzumaki Kushina shrieked hysterically.
She didn't even need to see Haruto's face—just recognizing the black cloak from behind was enough for her to identify him.
"How dare he bully Kushina!"
"Get him!"
"Don't let him escape!"
The students at the school gate were instantly riled up. Kushina's status at the ninja academy had drastically changed from when she was initially bullied and mocked. Now, a single shout from her could rally a whole mob of students charging toward Haruto.
Haruto glanced back at Kushina and muttered, "Annoying brat," before grabbing Minato Namikaze and darting into a nearby forest. Within moments, they had vanished from sight.
The students chasing him were all from the ninja academy—there was no way they could keep up. By the time they reached the edge of the forest, Haruto had already disappeared. They had no choice but to give up the pursuit.
Except for Uzumaki Kushina.
She clenched her little fists and charged headlong into the woods, unwilling to let it go.
