After Uchiha Shin disposed of Nohara Rin and her team, he realized a major problem.
The little brats' promise wasn't reliable. Maybe they genuinely wanted to keep the secret.
But in the end, they blabbed—probably just to show off!
When he went looking for Kushina's students, Yuhi Kurenai and Hyuga Hina, they were already waiting for him, seemingly prepared for something.
As soon as he arrived, Yuhi Kurenai rushed over, her ruby-red eyes sparkling as she greeted him enthusiastically.
"Teacher Shin! I'm Yuhi Kurenai! It's such an honor to meet you! I grew up hearing stories about you!"
Kurenai was practically vibrating with excitement at meeting her idol.
On the other hand, as the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, Hina naturally carried herself with quiet dignity. She remained seated gracefully, not moving an inch.
However, when Uchiha Shin approached with Kurenai still hanging onto him, he noticed something odd—Hina had gone completely still.
Her snow-white skin had turned a faint shade of pink, and her soft, watery eyes were tightly shut.
Above her head, Uchiha Shin could literally see faint wisps of white smoke rising.
"…Steam girl?"
"Wow, why'd she faint?"
Shin was honestly shocked. He'd never seen a girl literally overheating from embarrassment before!
But, if he were being honest, there was no way Hyuga Hina had inherited that kind of talent from her clan.
Meanwhile, still wrapped around him, Kurenai looked up at him, amusement twinkling in her gaze. She playfully rubbed her face against his chest, her black hair tickling his skin.
"Hinazuki's just really shy. And, well… her family wants her to marry you, Teacher Shin."
Uchiha Shin blinked. "Huh?"
"She's been thinking about it a lot lately," Kurenai continued, her grin widening. "I think she's already in love. Seeing you in person must've been too much for her."
As someone who knew Hina better than anyone, Kurenai was confident in her assessment.
After dropping that bombshell, Kurenai wrapped her arms around his neck, pouting slightly.
"By the way, Teacher Shin, I heard Lin and Izumi bragging about kissing you earlier. Is that true?"
At this, Uchiha Shin closed his eyes and sighed deeply. His reputation… was utterly ruined.
Seeing his reaction, Kurenai burst into laughter.
"Haha! So it's true! Don't be sad, Teacher Shin. I'll give you a kiss too!"
Before he could react, Kurenai lifted her head and pecked his cheek. Though she tried to act bold and nonchalant, the redness of her ears betrayed her embarrassment.
"…Trying to act like an adult, huh?"
Shin smirked. "That's not how a real kiss works."
Without warning, he lifted her up slightly and captured her lips. Kurenai's eyes widened in panic, and she squirmed for a moment, but it didn't take long for her to completely melt into the kiss.
Her mind went blank.
How could she, someone so inexperienced, possibly stand against someone like Uchiha Shin?
Meanwhile, just as Hina was regaining consciousness, she groggily opened her pale white eyes—only to be greeted by the sight of Uchiha Shin kissing Kurenai.
Her breath hitched.
"Aaa—"
She barely had time to process what was happening before her brain short-circuited.
With a faint "poof," more white smoke rose from her head, and she collapsed yet again.
Uchiha Shin looked down at her, utterly exasperated.
"…Seriously? Again?"
How was she this fragile? If she kept fainting at the slightest thing, what would happen in the future? He had to toughen her up somehow!
Meanwhile, Kurenai, who was still in his arms, was in a half-dazed state, her eyes glazed over.
One fainted from shock. The other was semi-conscious from… other reasons.
Uchiha Shin sighed.
He had come here to substitute for a class, but now he had two unconscious girls on his hands. How had things gone so wrong?
This class… was a complete disaster.
For Uchiha Shin, the only takeaway from this mess was that Kurenai had started looking at him with more caution.
The once carefree tomboy had, at least temporarily, turned into a bashful young woman—just like Hina.
The next batch of students he was supposed to teach weren't any better. He could already tell things would be just as bad as before.
When he arrived at his next class, he was immediately met with a not-so-friendly "greeting."
Three girls stood before him.
Mebuki Senju, the leader, had bandages wrapped around her hands and forehead, giving her a tough, delinquent-like appearance.
To her left stood Senju Yuzuki, a girl with a sleek bob cut who wore traditional kunoichi gear, her stance ready for action.
To her right was Yamanaka Rino, who had the elegance of a princess but the sharp glare of someone ready to throw hands.
As soon as they saw him, Mebuki stepped forward, fists clenched.
"Oi, bastard! We know what you did to Kurenai and Hina! You messed with them, didn't you?!"
Shin blinked.
"…Hah?"
Mebuki's eyes burned with righteous fury. "We're their friends! We're not gonna let you get away with this!"
She turned to exchange a look with Yuzuki and Rino, silently encouraging them to back her up.
Unfortunately… they hesitated.
"…Guys?"
The two girls shifted uncomfortably.
They had all agreed to gang up on Uchiha Shin together, but now that they were actually standing in front of him, neither of them seemed eager to charge in.
This wasn't just some random shinobi—they were facing a damn Uchiha.
Noticing the lack of immediate support, Mebuki gritted her teeth.
"Tch! Fine! I'll go first!"
With that, she launched herself at Shin, pulling her fist back for a punch.
Bang!
The soft breeze that followed barely ruffled the corner of Shin's clothes.
And yet, Mebuki's punch had landed directly against his abdomen.
…But it did nothing.
Not even a flinch.
Uchiha Shin calmly looked down at her, completely unimpressed.
"Hmm?"
Mebuki, still frozen in her attack stance, slowly lifted her head to meet his gaze.
A tense silence filled the air.
Behind her, Yuzuki and Rino exchanged glances, looking more nervous than ever.
Mebuki, meanwhile, finally realized something.
They were so fucked.
Sweat dripped down her forehead as she took a shaky step back.
"…Uh… so, uh… about that justice thing—"
Before she could finish her sentence, Uchiha Shin smirked, cracking his knuckles ominously.
Mebuki paled.
"…Crap."
And just like that, the 'heroes' became the 'victims.'
That day, the lesson the three girls learned was simple:
You don't pick a fight with an Uchiha unless you're absolutely sure you can win.
And even then…
You probably still shouldn't.
