And I am the Tsundere?
And I am the Tsundere?
"Good morning, redhead-san" - said an older woman who was buying - "It seems that something good happened to you because of the happy face you have"
"Is it so notorious?" - Kurama asked with a smile.
"How to say it" - the woman nodded as she looked at the boy happily - "Since you came back you had been a little ... stiff ..."
"With the excitement of having started my way as a shinobi, I had not been able to calm down until yesterday" - Kurama said calmly - "So I was training until I was tired"
"It's good that you try hard but you have to rest too" - the woman just gave him a worried look - "Remember that Kushina-chan needs you ... She was very worried about you"
"I know" - muttered the redhead.
"I only tell you so you know" - the woman smiled affectionately - "I am not the one to get into the life of a ninja"
"Don't worry" - Kurama denied - "You just says it because you care about us"
"It's good that you know, honey" - the woman nodded - "I'm not going to bother you anymore, I'm sorry this old woman has taken up so much of your time"
"It was nice talking to you again" - Kurama said with a smile - "See you later!"
"He's such a good boy" - said the woman with a smile when she saw how the redhead disappeared from her sight. She had met Kushina and Kurama when they arrived in Konoha and during the time she could see how the redhead struggled to take care of the child while he trained tirelessly.
The woman was so focused on her affairs that she didn't realize she was going to bump into another person - "Ack! E-Excuse me for that, sir ..."
"..." - the man looked at her coldly - "Can I take this as an act against me?"
"W-What are you talking about ?!" - exclaimed the woman in fear.
"I guess I'll see it like this ..." - said the man with an emotionless look - "With that, you have two crimes ... the first is to attack a shinobi for no reason and the second ... to be friendly with the demon fox..."
"I-I don't know what you're talking about! Kya!" - The woman said as she trembled, then felt like a kunai was going through her stomach.
"You're lucky you don't want to kill any civilians ..." - the man murmured as he walked outside the place, all under the gaze of people who couldn't do anything to stop him. They did not have the strength to prevent the poor woman from continuing to suffer. When they saw that the man had disappeared, one of them called the hospital so they could save the unfortunate woman.

"Someone is coming ... and it smells like blood ..." - the redhead murmured when he felt the presence of someone was heading in his direction. Kurama looked in the direction where the smell came from and could feel a look full of hatred and jealousy - "If you're not going to mask your negative emotions, you better not try to hide ..."
"You could not expect less from Kyubi no Yoko" - said an emotionless voice while letting his look. He was a young man with brown eyes, short black hair, a beard, and long sideburns. His dress consisted of the standard ninja uniform, with bandages on the arms below the shoulders, ending in a dark green tactical vest.
"Assume ... Sensei ..." - murmured the redhead while looking surprised at the sensei of team 10 but narrowed his eyes to feel it was his, or rather his kunai - "Blood ..."
"Let's just say he punishes a certain ... offender ..." - Asuma said calmly - "She was a brown woman in her 60s wearing a yellow apron"
"!" - Kurama opened his eyes as he gave him a sharp look - "And what ... was her crime?"
"First she attacked a shinobi for no reason and second ..." - Asuma replied in a neutral voice - "He showed kindness towards a ... murderer ..."
"Ok, let's put the games aside Asuma" - Kurama said coldly - "What the fuck do you want with me ..."
"Do you play idiot or just don't know?" - Jonin asked with a frown - "I want you to stay away from Kurenai"
"Kurenai Sensei?" - Kurama said without understanding - "What are you talking about?"
"I only tell you Demon Fox" - Asuma said - "I don't know what kind of Jutsu you used but since you and the red-haired bitch returned, she has been completely focused on you ..."
"First, I still don't understand what the fuck you're talking about ..." - Kurama said as he released his thirst for blood. The enough in front of him had insulted one of the most important people in his life so he was doing everything possible not to kill him - "But if you insult Kaasan again ... I swear that not even the Hokage will save your neck ... "
"!" - Asuma felt like the whole low-temperature zone.
"Second, I only see Kurenai-sensei when I'm going to train or do missions" - continued the redhead coldly. Asuma was silent as he felt the aura full of bloodlust slowly surrounded him, so he decided to make a strategic retreat.
"I guess I'm going to have to ask Kurenai sensei why the fuck her boyfriend is following me" - Kurama muttered coldly - "But first, I'm going to check the status of Rei-san ... I just hope it's nothing serious ... "
* * * * *
After examining the poor woman's status and being sure that she has no problem, Kurama headed towards the Hokage tower to inform Hiruzen what had happened.
"I'm sorry, Kurama-kun" - Hiruzen said as he let out a sigh - "I don't know what happened to my son ..."
"I don't know either and I don't care either" - Kurama said coldly - "But if it does something that harms my loved ones ... I promise you, you won't like how it will end ... "
"..." - Hiruzen could only let out a sigh and pray that his son doesn't do anything stupid. He didn't want to fight the redhead because he knew that if Kurama got out of control, not only would he be in danger, but the entire village. Facing the Kyubi no Yoko in all his fury would only make Danzo dance with happiness, but it would also make the other villages that still have bad intentions against Konoha, feel like children at Christmas - "I promise that I will cover the hospital bill and I will give Rei-san a remuneration ... "
"Ok ..." - Kurama just nodded as he left the place and walked back to the Forest of Death.
"Assume ..." - Hiruzen murmured as he looked out the window.
* * * * * *
"Yo, Gaki! You arrived early!" - Zabuza exclaimed as he arrived accompanied by Haku and an Anbu with crow mask.
"Hi Karasu-san, I guess you were charged with watching Zabuza and Haku" - the redhead nodded when he saw Anbu.
The Anbu just nodded while the Ex Nukenin was a bit annoyed - "Hey Gaki! You could at least say hello!"
"I'm sorry Zabuza, Haku-san" - Kurama said while scratching his cheek - "But you have to know that Karasu-san has helped me before, and it is one of the few Anbus that I like"
Zabuza was surprised to see how Anbu gave him a thumbs up and spoke with signs.
"I see ..." - the redhead nodded - "I recommend you take her to the restaurant on 7th Street, I can ask Choji to reserve the best table for you"
Karasu-san only nodded although you could tell he was happy.
"Hey!" - Zabuza shouted with annoyance - "You're supposed to be on mission! You shouldn't show emotions or ask for advice on a date!"
"That's why I like Karasu-san" - smiled the redhead while Karasu-san nodded.
"Anyway ..." - Zabuza said as if he gave up - "Ok pumpkin, tell me why you called me ..."
"..." - The place was completely silent after the Ex-Nukenin finished speaking.
"Do you know Zabuza-san?" - Kurama only released a cold aura while looking at the ex-Kirinin - "There are things you never have to say to an Uzumaki ... and one of them ... is to insult his hair color ..."
"Mental note, never insult the hair of an Uzumaki ..." - thought those present while watching the boy calm down.
"Anyway, what I want is for you to show me some Kenjutsu" - sighed the redhead.
"Can't you come to the classes I'm giving?" - Zabuza asked.
"I want something more advanced" - Kurama said calmly.
"Hmm ... I'm not sure you're ready" - murmured the ex-Kirinin.
"I guess that would be all for now" - Kurama said as he retired - "Sorry for wasting your time"
"Stop there, Gaki!" - Zabuza said to see how the redhead was leaving - "I never said I would not teach you"
"Thank you for teaching me" - Kurama nodded in thanks.
"I also didn't say I would teach you ... Wait! It was a joke!" - Zabuza exclaimed when he saw that the redhead was leaving.
* * * * *
"None of this would have happened if you had only said yes" - Kurama sighed while taking the bridge of his nose.
"I-It's not like I'm happy that someone wants to learn directly from me" - Zabuza murmured as he looked to the side.
"Zabuza-sama ..." - Haku sighed as he shook his head.
"And I'm the Tsundere?" - Kurama thought as he shook his head.
"W-Whatever! The style of Kenjutsu that I am going to teach you is called Nagare (Flow)" - Zabuza said seriously - "The goal of this style is to adapt to the movements of the rival as if you were water flowing. .. "
"Sounds interesting but at the same time it seems more like a Taijutsu style" - nodded the redhead.
"It is because Nagare is a fighting style that not only combines movements of Kenjutsu but also of Taijutsu" - replied the ex-Nukenin - "The advantage of this style is that you can fight with or without a weapon"
"When we start?" - asked the redhead with emotion because that Kenjutsu style was perfect for him.
"Right now" - Zabuza nodded as I entered, told him to create a group of Kage Bunshin so he could start training.
"Right now" - Zabuza nodded as he instructed him to create a group of Kage Bunshin so he could start the training.
* * * * * * *
That's how the afternoon went. Zabuza, Haku, and Karasu-san had already left.
"I have to admit that Nagare is interesting ..." - Kurama murmured as he let out a sigh - "Why am I so hungry?"
Slowly he looked around and noticed that the sky was dark - "Shit! Kushi-chan will kill me for not having dinner on time!"
Without further ado, he ran home as quickly as possible.
"I just hope nothing happens ..." - Kurama murmured as he ran through the commercial area but as if God played a joke, he stopped when he heard someone calling him - "Hello Kurama-kun, I was just heading to where Kushina- sama to inform you about tomorrow's schedule "
"Kurenai sensei?" - the redhead murmured as he looked at the woman.
"You sound like you don't want to see me" - Kurenai said with a frown.
"On the contrary, Kurenai Sensei" - Kurama replied - "I wanted to talk to you about something that happened today"
"Something that happened today?" - asked the red-eyed kunoichi with a frown - "What are you talking about?"
"I'm going straight to the point, Kurenai Sensei ..." - Kurama replied without going over the matter - "I would like you to control your boyfriend"
"?" - Kurenai still did not understand what was happening but after listening to the redhead, a dark expression appeared on her face. The two have been fighting lately because she has not wanted to take the next step in their relationship. Kurenai had heard of the rumors that were in the village and that she was the protagonist. These were that she was sleeping with a lot of shinobis.
When Asuma finally decided to take those facts out to Kurenai, she got angry like never before. He was telling her that she was a slut when she was still a virgin but what most out of her mind was that he was accusing her of having a relationship with her Genin. That was the same day where they ended up although she could still feel his gaze following her.
"Very well Kurama-kun, I'll go talk to him to make everything clear" - said Kurenai with a cold look. That was the straw that broke the camel. After saying goodbye, she disappeared into the crowd that still roamed the streets while Kurama watched her as if none of this was his problem. He just hoped Asuma didn't come as a mad dog to try to bite his ass because as a good fox, he would return the bite - "I just hope Kushi-chan isn't upset ..."
* * * * * * *
Kurama was near his house when he saw an Anbu with a crow mask - "Yo, Karasu-san! What are you doing here?"
"I just wanted to thank you for the reservation" - said Karasu.
"You finally speak, Itachi-san" - Kurama said while nodding - "No problem with that, I just ask you not to hurt Ayame Nee"
"Don't worry about it, she is the only one who made me feel this after ..." - Itachi said but fell into a deep silence.
"Don't think about the past, Itachi-san" - Kurama said as he let out a sigh while the image of his bloodied parents returned to his mind.
"It's good to talk about these things once in a while ..." - Itachi said as he calmed down - "By the way ..."
"Yes?" - Kurama said curiously.
Itachi pointed to the redhead's house and then made a "You're Fucked" sign.
"..." - Kurama was silent to see how at the door was a beautiful redhead who looked at him coldly.
"Something to tell me, Kuro-chan?" - Kushina asked with a serious look.
"Has anyone told you that you look beautiful when you're upset?" - The young redhead smiled.
"More than once" - the beautiful red-haired woman nodded - "I hope you tell me the reason why you didn't get to dinner ..."
"I'll tell you while we have dinner" - the redhead smiled - "I promise I'll compensate you later"
"Believe me ... you will ..." - Kushina said as she took young Uzumaki from the neck of his yukata - "I'll make sure of that"
