Ring, ring, ring!
As the break ended and class resumed, the teacher led an unfamiliar student to the podium.
She had a delicate face, long, flowing red hair, and curled eyelashes that trembled slightly. Her eyes were like exquisite black gems, and her lips were soft and pouty.
It was none other than Kushina Uzumaki, the mother of the protagonist in the original story.
At this point, she was just an 8 or 9-year-old loli, but even so, she exuded an charm that was hard to ignore.
However, her face was anxious, her expression slightly constrained. To Uchiha Yin, it was clear she was still adjusting to her recent arrival in Konoha.
"Alright, everyone, settle down. We have a new classmate joining us today. Let's give her a warm welcome."
As the teacher spoke, the class erupted in applause.
Minato Namikaze, sitting in the front row, noticed Kushina and his eyes lit up. He clapped even more enthusiastically.
"Let's hear our new classmate introduce herself."
The teacher gestured for the class to quiet down, then invited Kushina to speak.
Kushina looked nervous, glancing around as if searching for something.
Hinata, listening to the voice of the "Ultimate Stepdaughter System" in her mind, felt her face flush red, her pupils spinning in circles, and a white mist rising from her head...
Uchiha Yin watched with great interest as the mother of the protagonist took center stage. According to the original story, Kushina Uzumaki was about to declare her dream of becoming the Hokage, only to be rejected by her classmates. Minato Namikaze would then step in, earning her favor and setting the stage for their future relationship.
Even knowing the outcome, Uchiha Yin found the situation entertaining. After all, experiencing it firsthand was far more engaging than watching it in an anime.
"My name is Kushina Uzumaki, and my goal is..."
Kushina steeled herself and shouted the latter part of her statement.
"...to become Uchiha Yin's wife!"
The classroom fell silent, and Uchiha Yin could almost hear Minato's heart shattering.
Kushina wanted to die!
She had never felt so humiliated. She had just confessed to a complete stranger in front of the entire class.
But she had no choice. If she didn't, the system would force her to kiss Uchiha Yin as punishment.
After experiencing the nightmare of the Uzumaki clan's destruction, Kushina arrived in Konoha and stayed with Mito Uzumaki, learning she would become the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki.
Upon discovering her fate as the container for the Nine-Tails, Kushina described her feelings as suffocating from the overwhelming loneliness and oppression.
She was unwilling yet forced to accept this cruel reality.
In her darkest moment, Mito's grandmother comforted her with a smile, and they were brought to Konoha to become the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki.
But before the tailed beast was sealed, they needed to fill it with love.
It was this phrase that made Kushina want to let go of her burdens and face life with optimism. Then, something calling itself the "Ultimate Jinchūriki System" appeared in her mind.
By binding with it and completing its tasks, she could shed her jinchūriki identity, gain powerful secret techniques, and maintain eternal youth!
Kushina was instantly tempted by the system.
Escaping her jinchūriki fate was her lifelong dream!
"I really don't want to be a jinchūriki!"
After silently apologizing to her grandmother, Kushina resolutely bound herself to the Ultimate Jinchūriki System.
"System binding successful. Generating unique main quest..."
"Unique Main Quest: Become Uchiha Yin's wife."
"Side Quest 1 (Mandatory): During your self-introduction, declare your dream, which is also Task 1."
"Reward for success: Uzumaki Clan Sealing Technique Proficiency +1."
"Punishment for failure: Host must kiss Uchiha Yin."
"Please complete the side quest promptly to unlock more tasks."
Kushina was stunned, then furious. "Why such a task? What does this have to do with being a jinchūriki?"
"I cannot disclose that. Please execute the side quest immediately."
"I won't do it! I don't even know this Uchiha Yin!"
"Are you sure you want to abandon the side quest? Yes/No (Note: Abandoning the quest will result in the loss of all abilities, but you have one chance to reconsider.)"
"Abandon it! I don't believe you can make me lose all my abilities!"
