Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 41 Are you kidding me?

Although she said it was okay, Yan Yi was actually quite angry!

How could you be so rude? You suddenly pinched someone's face right away, and you did it really hard! It hurt so much!

After making a fuss for a while to no avail, Takita remained silent the whole way until he finally arrived at the reception hall of the Hagoromo clan.

Without a table, everyone knelt on the cushions and began exchanging information...

This process was boring and had little to do with Yan Yi; it was mostly He Yan who was talking.

The main exchange involved discussing the Senju clan's movements and then making arrangements with the Daimyo's residence...

So it wasn't until now that Yan Yi gradually figured out the ins and outs of some things.

The initial conflict arose when the Daimyo's mansion hired the Hagoromo clan to fight against the Senju clan. However, as a descendant of the legendary Ninja Clan, the Senju clan's strength was undeniably formidable.

Unable to fight alone, the Hagoromo clan hired the equally powerful Uchiha clan once again to combat the Senju...

As for why they initially chose to fight the Senju, Yan Yi didn't know. But with the Uchiha joining the battle, the situation immediately became tense...

As time went by, the Uchiha clan, already known for its emotional nature, developed a deep-seated hatred for the Senju, escalating what began as a simple employment arrangement into a long-term confrontation...

In short, it's pretty simple.

Yan Yi finally understood. Despite the constant deaths, resources remained plentiful, to the point that ninjas were born to fight.

The battle has dragged on for so long, and if we're talking about the initial reason, Yan Yi can't help but think of one possibility...

However, he is currently unable to participate in the decision-making process; maintaining a clear mind is too difficult in this chaotic, hateful, and war-torn ninja world.

Most people are just seeking revenge.

"Uh......"

Although they are exchanging information, sitting directly opposite Yan Yi is the young master, Takita.

Yan Yi couldn't avoid making eye contact with him... because that guy's gaze was fixed on Yan Yi the entire time.

A pair of large eyes stared unabashedly at Yan Yi, as if looking at a novel toy; their gaze was intensely aggressive, yet also revealed a sense of innocence and naivety...

"What is it about me that attracts him? Why is he staring at me like that...?"

Yan Yi was a little annoyed; this was the first time he had ever seen such a bratty kid.

"Third Young Master...Third Young Master!"

"ah...?"

Yan Yi looked up blankly and realized that they had finished their meeting and were preparing to leave.

"Brother Heyan, shall we go?" Yan Yi asked.

Kazuhiko nodded and replied, "The matter here is settled, and we can leave at any time... but we need to scout out the route before we leave to avoid unnecessary battles."

He didn't disbelieve the information about the Feathered Robe Clan, but besides his own team, Yan Yi was also with him this time, and he needed to personally confirm the surrounding situation before taking Yan Yi with him.

So, Kazuhiko went ahead alone to scout the way, leaving four people behind to protect Yan Yi's safety...

Now, Yan Yi felt more and more that this experience was not very meaningful. Perhaps his father wanted him to learn something from it?

However, he could discern some of the more basic things, such as the recent situation of the Feathered Clan, which didn't look too good... so if he wanted to cause trouble, it was probably not going to work for the time being.

Yan Yi stood up to stretch his numb legs, but before he could even stand up properly, he saw a figure walking straight towards him...

"hiss..."

Yan Yi wanted to slip away, but it seemed too late.

Takita looked delighted, walked over and took Yan Yi's hand, excitedly saying, "Let's go play! I'll take you to eat something delicious too! Okay!"

However, before he could say two words, he was stopped by Yan Yi's good teammate.

They were already quite annoyed by the fact that their own young master's face had just been pinched red, and they had already heard about the other party's young master.

Not only is he extremely mischievous and naughty, but he also frequently bullies other children in the clan, seemingly spoiled rotten by the clan leader. If Young Master Yan were to play with him...

"no!"

The harsh refusal stunned the boy. He'd never been yelled at like that before, not even in his entire life in the clan. And to intimidate him, those sinister Sharingan eyes seemed to have lowered the surrounding air temperature several degrees...

"me..."

"I'm sorry! Young Master Takita really meant no harm, and truly had no intention of offending the Uchiha clan..."

It was the same familiar voice, the same familiar apology.

Yan Yi was speechless. He'd heard it twice in just two hours; it wasn't hard to imagine how many times the ninja who followed their young master had to apologize every day...

I initially intended to ignore these things, but seeing Takita's slightly red eyes and the tears welling up in his eyes, my mind inexplicably went blank...

"Alright, I'll play with you..." Yan Yi said helplessly.

He admitted it was his flaw! Every time he saw someone looking so pitiful, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with sympathy...

Moreover, Yan Yi really doesn't know how to refuse others.

"But the Third Young Master...he..."

"It's okay...we're leaving soon anyway."

As she spoke, she walked up to Takita, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and handed it to him, saying, "I'll play with you! Don't cry..."

"Really...?"

He glanced cautiously at the tall Uchiha clansman standing behind Yan Yi, and only breathed a slight sigh of relief after seeing that the other party had turned off those red eyes...

For a moment when those eyes were staring at him, he almost thought he was going to die.

"Really... but only for a little while, I have to leave soon."

Takita nodded as if he understood, casually wiped away his tears, then grabbed Yan Yi's wrist and walked towards the door.

Halfway there, Takita suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what's your name? You didn't tell me."

Yan scratched his cheek and gave his name.

"Yan Yi... Uchiha Yan Yi."

Wow! What a lovely name!

Ignoring the compliment, Yan Yi then took a closer look at the other person.

It had bluish-gray, frizzy fur, and those big, excited black eyes. Its nose was upturned, and it had a pair of fangs in its mouth...

I have to say, it's actually quite good-looking, except for some... well, Yan Yi doesn't want to comment on his personality, but he's clearly the kind of person who's been well protected by the Feathered Robe Clan.

"Um...you're Takita, right? Why...why did you suddenly come over and pinch my cheek, and why are you staring at me like that..."

Since they had already started talking, Yan Yi simply asked the question that had been on her mind.

Without even thinking, Takita blurted out, "Of course it's because you're very pretty and cute, I like you a lot! That's why I want to play with you!"

"...Huh? Okay..."

Yan Yi felt a little awkward, unsure whether the other person was genuinely naive or what, as they were gripping her wrist so tightly...

Strangely enough, two little boys walked ahead, followed by seven or eight burly ninja men, including Uchiha Hagoromo, all watching the two boys chat nervously.

After chatting for a while, Yan Yi realized that the other person wasn't as bad as she had imagined; they seemed more like immature.

"Yan Yi, do you want to eat this? It's very sweet!"

"Yan Yi, look at this, isn't it beautiful? Hmm... but I can't give it to you!"

"Hmm... if you like it, it's not that I really can't give it to you..."

Yan Yi didn't say much throughout, only giving a perfunctory smile in response to the somewhat noisy little boy.

The members of the Hagoromo clan behind him were sweating profusely, afraid that their young master might accidentally displease the other party again... After all, the other party was not one of their own from the clan, but the young master of the Uchiha clan!

Fortunately, their fears didn't come true. Although Takita was a bit noisy, he didn't lay a hand on Yan Yi again...

Before long, Kazuhiko, who had gone out to scout ahead, returned, which meant that their friendship, which had lasted less than half an hour, was about to end.

Yan Yi didn't feel anything special, only that the other person was a bit too enthusiastic... although he was actually a pretty nice person.

Upon seeing Kazuhiko appear, Yan Yi perked up a bit, turned around and looked at Takita with a grin, saying, "I'm leaving now! Let's play together again next time."

Next time... Yan Yi doesn't plan on a next time, because he doesn't have time to take care of such an innocent child right now, but he still has to keep up the good talk.

When Takita heard that Genichi was leaving, his body trembled, and his face, unable to hide his emotions, immediately fell down...

"Are you leaving so soon?"

"Yes, I still have a mission."

The task... Takita lowered his head, as if going through an internal struggle...

The Feathered Clan members behind them were stunned. The young master had actually started thinking? In the past... just like just now! He would start arguing and making a scene if he wasn't walking with Yan Yi.

How could he have changed his mind in just over half an hour?

Just as Yan Yi was about to turn and leave, Takita's voice suddenly rang out.

"Yan Yi! I really like you, why don't you marry me! I'll definitely treat you well!"

"???"

Yan Yi almost lost her balance, thinking she had misheard.

Turning around, Yan Yi looked at Takita with disbelief.

"You...you're joking...right?"

"No! I'm serious! My father said that a boy should be brave enough to pursue the person he likes!"

"..."

Not only Yan Yi was stunned, but everyone present—the Hagoromo clan ninjas, their Uchiha squad, and even Kazuhiko—was completely dumbfounded...
