"Hey! Are you actually ugly?"
After being held by him for about five minutes, Terumi Mei finally couldn't help but ask. She patted his chest, which was at least two cup sizes bigger than Kurenai Yuhi's, and said:
"Don't worry, I don't just care about looks. I won't despise you."
Seeing Terumi Mei's solemn expression, the face behind Mingyue's mask was completely speechless.
You are doubting the looks of the Uchiha clan!
Don't you know that every Uchiha grew up adored by countless fangirls?
Well, his older brother Uchiha Fugaku with his prominent chin, and Obito, that dead last, were exceptions.
Actually, Mingyue had considered this point.
Should he use the Transformation Jutsu to change his face and appease Terumi Mei?
But he decided against it.
Using a different face to pick up girls?
It felt like he would be cuckolding himself.
"I am very handsome. I have my reasons for not taking this off. Two years at most, and I'll definitely let you see. Okay?"
Mingyue hugged Terumi Mei tighter, resting his chin on her forehead.
"Did I owe you something in my past life? It takes two years just to see a face..."
Terumi Mei angrily slapped the jerk.
Is this how you date?
It takes two years just to see a face?
She didn't believe Mingyue's claim about being handsome.
Terumi Mei was certain in her heart that this guy was definitely an ugly man!
Sigh, whatever. For the sake of her first love, she wouldn't mind it.
It's all the same when the lights are off anyway~

...
"Senior Kisame, fight me!"
After parting ways with his little lover Terumi Mei, Mingyue was about to return to the Kaguya clan grounds through the pedestrian street.
A shout from a child, immature yet radiating bloodthirsty battle intent, attracted Mingyue's attention.
He looked over.
A white-haired child, a little over ten years old, was carrying a fish-shaped ninja sword even larger than his own body. He was shouting at a man who looked like a shark and wore a Kirigakure Jonin flak jacket.
Mingyue recognized their true identities at a glance.
The current youngest of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, known as the "Prodigy," Mangetsu Hozuki.
And the man who, although not yet one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, was already an elite Jonin of the village, known as the "Monster of the Hidden Mist."
Mingyue remembered that in the original story, Kisame once commented that Suigetsu and his brother Mangetsu had completely different personalities, and that Mangetsu wasn't as mischievous as Suigetsu.
It was clear they knew each other in Kirigakure.
"Sorry, I'm not interested."
Facing Mangetsu Hozuki's challenge, Kisame shrugged with a look of boredom.
Compared to his future self, the battle maniac who would challenge anyone he saw after obtaining the great sword Samehada, the current Kisame seemed somewhat indifferent.
Perennially executing unspeakable secret missions for the village, and before killing his superior Fuguki Suikazan, he was thoroughly disappointed in this ninja world of deception and mutual deceit.
Before he became a member who yearned for the world of "Infinite Tsukuyomi."
At the same time, Kisame was also the existence Mingyue wanted to recruit most in Kirigakure, aside from Terumi Mei.
Currently, Kisame had not yet completely despaired of the ninja world and was still executing high-difficulty missions for the village.
It was the perfect time to recruit him.
"You're not giving me any face, are you? Senior Kisame, I want to see the strength of the 'Monster of the Hidden Mist'," Mangetsu Hozuki, carrying the twin swords Hiramekarei, said with dissatisfaction.
However, Kisame ignored the brat, turned around, and prepared to leave.
"Heh~"
Seeing Kisame turn to leave, Mangetsu Hozuki suddenly revealed a mischievous grin.
He suddenly leaped up, raising the Hiramekarei high, and slashed towards Kisame's back.
Kisame naturally sensed the attack from behind.
With a look of impatience, he formed seals with one hand to teach the brat a lesson.
"Water Style: Water Shark—"
However, just as Kisame turned around prepared to teach the brat a lesson with the Water Shark Bullet Technique, and Mangetsu Hozuki was slashing down from above with Hiramekarei, right at the final moment before they collided...
A figure suddenly flashed between the two.
His right hand raised, the back of his hand blocking Mangetsu Hozuki's Hiramekarei.
His left hand hung down, pinning Kisame's hand that was forming seals.
"You two, everyone works under Lord Mizukage. Can't you be a little more united and friendly?"
Mingyue spoke leisurely.
Mangetsu Hozuki and Kisame on either side were both shocked.
"—!?"
"The ANBU mask?"
Mangetsu Hozuki landed back on the ground, looking at Mingyue's right hand in disbelief, thinking to himself:
He blocked my slash with just his hand?
Kisame focused his gaze on the mask on Mingyue's face. After pausing for a few seconds, he realized:
"Oh~ Isn't this the ANBU 'Ming' who has been rumored so heavily lately? Today I've officially witnessed your strength. No wonder Lord Mizukage entrusts you with heavy responsibilities."
Ming?
Hearing this name, Mangetsu Hozuki on the other side was also stunned. It took him a few seconds to recall.
Because no one had ever seen this person on a mission, "Ming's" strength had always been a mystery in the eyes of Kirigakure ninja.
However, that move just now made Mangetsu Hozuki certain in his heart that this guy was definitely a master.
