Uchiha Shi admitted, he was a failure of a man.
He had never even touched the forbidden, that place which made one blush and heart race just from a glance—the Peach Blossom Land.
He had always wanted to taste the sweet nectar of Foreign Cherry Blossoms!
Today, today!
Finally, his wish was about to come true!
He gave himself a mental boost, then looked at the woman in front of him. She wore high-heeled wooden sandals and a beautifully crafted kimono, her waist as slender as a willow by the river, with curves like a peach.
Just seeing her back was enough to make one want to pounce and ravish her.
Uchiha Shi swallowed nervously, smoothed his hair, and forced a smile.
He raised his hand politely and greeted her, "Hi~!"
Then, the woman with the alluring curves turned her head, looking at Uchiha Shi with surprise.
"Eh, little brother, do you need something?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Shi choked, his mind filled with only one thought: don't underestimate me, buddy, I'm not that young. He forgot what he was going to say next.
"That, this, um..."
For a moment, he stammered, unable to form any coherent words.
Looking at himself like this, Uchiha Shi wanted to slap himself and scold himself.
Uchiha Shi, you're such a wimp, can't you be a bit more assertive!
He should just tell her—
I have a deal worth 100,000 ryo to discuss with you!
After giving himself another mental boost, Uchiha Shi's gaze became determined, and he lifted his head.
Then, he saw a towering mountain peak.
His breath caught, his old face flushed, and the words on the tip of his tongue were forced back down.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"Hey, what's wrong, little brother?"
"Um, actually, actually, I have a business deal worth 100,000 ryo to..."
Uchiha Shi swallowed again, trembling as he raised the banknote in his hand.
However, At that moment, a fragrant breeze blew by, And a delicate hand suddenly reached out, snatching the 100,000 ryo note.
Then, a voice as clear as a silver bell rang out coldly.
"No, he doesn't."
Hearing this familiar voice, Uchiha Shi trembled and immediately turned his head.
He saw Terumi Mei, like a fierce tiger protecting its food, leap down from the sky, her face expressionless as she stared at him.
Staring...
The air around them seemed to freeze in that instant.
"Ah, it's a ninja!" The maiko (dancing girl) saw this and felt a chill run down her spine, terrified. She thought, ninjas are truly ahead of the times, triggering such a dramatic scene in broad daylight at such a young age!
She quickly bowed and apologized to Terumi Mei, "I'm sorry, ninja-sama, I don't know this little brother at all!"
Just as she bowed, through the opening of her special kimono, A vast expanse of snow-white skin was revealed before Uchiha Shi!
The mountain peak trembled, as if shaking his heart along with it.
Uchiha Shi felt his breath catch, a hot surge in his nose.
It was as if a puppeteer controlled his head.
Help, my neck won't listen, I can't look away, I just can't!
Bang!
Terumi Mei struck his forehead with a hand knife, a vein popping as she smiled.
Then, she transformed into a medic of the ninja world, forcibly turning Uchiha Shi's head toward her, "It's fine, it's fine, you can scram now!"
Terumi Mei compared their sizes, feeling a cold wind blow through her heart, making her feel icy cold.
Her tone, however, didn't sound fine at all.
Hearing this, the maiko (dancing girl) didn't dare to stay, running into the hot spring bathhouse.
Finally, she seriously put up a sign at the door:
This is a legitimate establishment, no one under 18 allowed!
Seeing this, Uchiha Shi felt a cold wind blow through him, making his heart cold, as if the BGM of "A Plum Blossom in Winter" was playing around him.
Terumi Mei turned her head and faced Uchiha Shi.
"Did you like it?" She stared at him expressionlessly, her bright green eyes flashing with a dangerous glint.
Uchiha Shi didn't know why he suddenly shivered, shaking his head from the bottom of his heart, "No, not at all!"
After saying this, he snorted disdainfully and raised three fingers to show his determination, "Hmph, all just vulgar beauties!"
Terumi Mei then smiled and released Uchiha Shi, lightly waving the 100,000 ryo note in her hand, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Uchiha Shi and asked, "What did you say just now?"
"What do you want to do with this 100,000 ryo?"
Uchiha Shi laughed awkwardly, reaching out to casually grab the 100,000 ryo note from Terumi Mei's hand, Planning to complete his grand mission after separating from Terumi Mei!
Hmm, it didn't budge?
Uchiha Shi cautiously lowered his gaze to look at Terumi Mei's expression.
Terumi Mei smiled at him, Her bright green eyes shimmering.
The early spring breeze lifted the cherry blossom petals that had fallen on the street, dancing and fluttering behind her.
In the warm sunlight of spring, the steam from the hot springs in the city, and the brown-red hair of the girl fluttering in the wind, The surrounding noise, the clatter of carriages, the pounding of mochi in the shops, and the warm breath from the cute girl's nose, All seemed to fade away, becoming lines.
All he could hear was the sudden rapid beating of his heart.
Uchiha Shi was slightly dazed.
A clumsy sentence suddenly slipped out, "I suddenly remembered, I... want to treat you to a cherry blossom cake."
"I, I also want to..."
A pale finger suddenly pressed against Uchiha Shi's lips.
Terumi Mei's lips curved into a captivating smile, like a sprite in the spring breeze, gently taking Uchiha Shi's hand and pulling him back to reality.
"You don't need to treat me."
"I'm very rich."
"Let's go shopping together!"
"Anything you want, I'll buy it for you~"
Uchiha Shi, like the manipulated Tom Cat, was kneaded and reshaped at will.
At this moment, his brain completely shut down.
He just nodded foolishly and was led by the girl, stepping into the spring light.

On the other side.
At the entrance of the izakaya (Japanese pub), Fugaku was kicked out by Uchiha Seiichiro.
Then, two hard buns were thrown out.
Seiichiro crossed his arms, standing at the door, looking down at the brat in front of him and sneered, "Brat, you can scram now, run back to Hot Water Village on your own."
Fugaku, looking resentful and disheveled, reluctantly stuffed the two hard buns that could be used as projectiles into his pocket, Then, he cursed, "You're finished, if Uchiha Shi finds out you dared to treat me like this, he won't let you off."
Seiichiro laughed coldly, "Oh, you're still being stubborn with me."
"Your big brother said he doesn't want to see you right now! If you know what's good for you, scram!"
"Otherwise, I don't mind helping you out of your misery."
As he spoke, Seiichiro put his hand on the hilt of his sword behind his back, looking like a demon trying to scare a child.
Fugaku was shocked, unable to believe it, "What did you say, he doesn't want to see me?"
He held back his tears, wiping his eyes, seeing that Seiichiro remained silent, the sword in his hand getting longer, as if he was serious.
Fugaku's heart raced in fear, and he scrambled to his feet, immediately running out of the alley.
Until he ran out of the alley and down two streets, He angrily bit into the hard bun, the more he thought about it, the more it didn't seem right.
"How could this be, I risked my life for him, and this bastard treats me like this?!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Fugaku chewed on the dry bun, sitting in a corner of the street, looking gloomy.
Just then, He suddenly heard a familiar, clear voice, speaking clumsily and stammering, "I suddenly remembered, I... want to treat you to a cherry blossom cake."
"I, I also want to..."
Fugaku looked up at the sound, Soon, his face showed a shocked expression.
