As a result, Kushina Uzumaki now felt as if everyone in the class was displeased with her.
This made Kushina Uzumaki, who already lacked a sense of belonging, feel even more alienated. Beating up those little brats wasn't entirely without the intention of venting her feelings.
But what she hadn't expected was that Uchiha In, who had always been indifferent to her, was now saying she was cute.
A warm current flowed through Kushina Uzumaki's heart.
In an instant, Kushina Uzumaki seemed to find her sense of belonging—at least she wasn't hated by everyone; there was still someone who thought she was cute, wasn't there?
While this wasn't enough to make Kushina Uzumaki immediately fall for Uchiha In, it at least significantly alleviated the frustration she felt and her dissatisfaction with the System.
At the very least, the boy the System wanted her to pursue didn't make her feel disgusted.
Kushina Uzumaki even immediately labeled Uchiha In as a good person, then changed her mind—no!
If Uchiha In truly thought I was cute, why did he reject me just now? Was he messing with me?
Does he have a hidden reason? Or does he just find my fiery demeanor cute? No matter your hidden reason, no matter if you only find my fiery demeanor cute, rejecting me in front of the whole class is an unforgivable mistake, hmph!
Kushina Uzumaki snorted in displeasure, turning her head away, though her flushed face seemed to betray her true thoughts.
In fact, Uchiha In's last remark had been quite natural.
He rejected Kushina Uzumaki's confession simply to avoid touching the nerves of Konoha's higher-ups, whom he couldn't yet reach.
One must know that Kushina Uzumaki was designated as the next Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki. If he had accepted, he would definitely have touched the nerves of those who were constantly watching Kushina Uzumaki.
Not to mention the shadowy Danzo, even the relatively gentle Hiruzen Sarutobi might find his existence intolerable.
Uchiha In was different from Minato Namikaze. Minato Namikaze came from a civilian background, with a clean family history, and was likely already noticed by Jiraiya, who might take him as a disciple.
If he could be with Kushina Uzumaki, Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely not object.
However, Uchiha In was from the Uchiha Clan. Under the Second Hokage's policies, the Uchiha Clan was isolated from other ninja clans. Although they were called Konoha's second largest ninja clan (the first being the Senju Clan), they were actually isolated from the outermost circles of power.
If someone from the Uchiha Clan wanted to marry a Jinchuriki, Hiruzen Sarutobi would certainly be the first to object.
Unless Uchiha In, like Uchiha Kagami, pledged allegiance to the Hokage faction.
Alright, back to the main topic. Although Uchiha In rejected Kushina Uzumaki's confession, becoming friends was not an issue.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi really saw Kushina Uzumaki's hasty confession using the Telescope Jutsu, then even if he rejected Kushina Uzumaki's confession, he would probably still have entered Hiruzen Sarutobi's line of sight.
It was merely a matter of priority.
If he had accepted, he would probably be under 重點監視 , but now that he had rejected, there might not be surveillance, but his information would definitely be on Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk.
At this point, it was unnecessary for him to overtly reject Kushina Uzumaki; it would instead seem overly targeted.
Hiruzen Sarutobi might even imagine that the Uchiha Clan was up to something.
Therefore, adhering to the idea of maintaining normal interactions with Kushina Uzumaki, Uchiha In spoke those words.
Otherwise, his relationship with Kushina Uzumaki would probably be over, as he had just harshly rejected her.
It was a pity that Uchiha In did not know that even if he hadn't deliberately said those words, Kushina Uzumaki would not have rejected Uchiha In.
However, this was a happy accident. If Uchiha In had not acted this way, even if Kushina Uzumaki herself had to become Uchiha In's wife due to the System's mission, she would still have held a grudge.

Chapter 7: The Strongest Healer System
It must be said that Uchiha In's previous premonition was correct. In the Hokage Office, Hiruzen Sarutobi leaned his hands on his desk, with a transparent crystal ball placed in front of him.
The image transmitted from the crystal ball was precisely the scene of Kushina Uzumaki's self-introduction.
The Telescope Jutsu could not only receive visual images from the scene but also audio from the scene. (I don't know if it can receive audio, but as the author, I'm assuming it can.)
"Hey, Old Man, did you call me here just to watch this new student's self-introduction?"
The blonde beauty standing in front of him asked with a hint of displeasure.
The young woman's light yellow ponytail swayed in the breeze.
Most striking was the purple diamond-shaped mark on her forehead, exuding a unique sense of beauty, like a deep abyss, drawing attention.
She wore a loose green coat, yet it completely failed to conceal her fiery figure; her enormous breasts, under the loose coat, seemed ready to burst forth.
She was sleepy-eyed, yawning, and unconsciously carried a hint of authority, an authority that was not off-putting but instead inspired trust in her.
Tsunade had just returned from a mission and was about to go home for a nap when Hiruzen Sarutobi dragged her to the Hokage Office, making her extremely annoyed.
"Tsunade, don't be impatient. This new student is named Kushina Uzumaki. She is a member of the Uzumaki Clan from Whirlpool Country and a relative of Mito Grandma. She has already moved into your house."
"She will be the next Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki."
"I hope you can train her well so she can become a qualified Jinchuriki."
"Please."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said solemnly.
"Understood, Old Man. Since she's Mito Grandma's relative, I will definitely train her well."
Tsunade felt Hiruzen Sarutobi's solemnity, and her originally carefree expression also became serious.
"That's good. Alright, let's watch her self-introduction finish..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's words were not yet finished when a strange scene unfolded in the crystal ball, causing him to involuntarily widen his eyes.
"My name is Kushina Uzumaki, and my goal is..."
Kushina Uzumaki put on a determined expression and continued to shout the latter half of her sentence.
"...My goal is to become Uchiha In's wife."
!!!
What is going on? What happened? How did Kushina Uzumaki know someone from the Uchiha Clan? Was it love at first sight?
Things had completely exceeded Hiruzen Sarutobi's expectations!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression immediately became serious.
