Uzuki Yugao

The purple-haired Anbu Ninja was drenched in cold sweat.

She couldn't help taking a few steps back. "Y-you... how did you discover me?"

She considered herself highly skilled in Leaf-Style Swordsmanship and concealment. Even Kage Level experts would have a hard time detecting her.

Yet in front of the little Uchiha boy, it seemed none of that mattered.

Her voice was clear and delicate, like a warbler's, and a faint, pleasant fragrance wafted from her.

Uchiha Gray's lips curled into an inscrutable smile.

It was as if he could see her true face through the mask covering the Anbu Ninja's.

Uzuki Yugao.

Among the Anbu, she was the only purple-haired female jonin.

Uchiha Gray had seen this kunoichi in the original story.

She was a powerful jonin: elegant and capable, beautiful and poised, and skilled in Leaf-Style Swordsmanship!

If Tsunade was a bold, refined beauty, like an angel descended to earth,

then Uzuki Yugao was a thorny rose, coldly beautiful and dangerously alluring.

"Uzuki Yugao, I'm the one asking the questions now. Why are you watching me? Was it the Third's order, or did you decide to do it yourself?"

"I'm a member of the Uchiha Clan. I haven't committed any crimes, and I haven't broken any of the village's rules. What right do you have to watch me?"

Uchiha Gray looked at Uzuki Yugao with an almost amused expression.

Uzuki Yugao's heart jolted.

How did Uchiha Gray know who she was?

Did this little boy really have such keen powers of observation?

The whole point of an Anbu Ninja's mask was to conceal their identity, yet she couldn't hide anything from this little Uchiha boy.

The boy was handsome, but he gave her a chilling feeling, as if cold sweat were running down her back.

"How did you know who I am?"

"I've seen you before. You always carry a faint, pleasant fragrance. The moment I saw you, I knew it was you."

Uchiha Gray spoke softly.

After gaining the Sage Body, his body had undergone a tremendous transformation. Though he was only nine, he already stood 176 centimeters tall.

He was even taller than Uzuki Yugao, who stood at 169 centimeters.

"Ah!"

Uzuki Yugao's lovely face flustered.

She had expected Uchiha Gray to give all kinds of explanations, but she never imagined he'd say he recognized her by the pleasant fragrance of her body.

It was her natural scent.

She loved the way she smelled, but as an Anbu Ninja, she had to use other herbs to cover it up.

She hadn't expected this little Uchiha boy

to identify her so easily, even though she'd already suppressed the scent.

Could it be that he'd been paying attention to her all along?

Uchiha Gray was in an excellent mood and didn't mind teasing Uzuki Yugao a little.

"I didn't expect you to have changed so much since I last saw you." As he spoke, Uchiha Gray slowly reached for Uzuki Yugao's mask.

And Uzuki Yugao, as if under some kind of spell, didn't resist.

Uchiha Gray slowly removed her mask.

A delicate, breathtakingly beautiful face appeared before him.

Uchiha Gray couldn't help holding his breath.

Compared to the era of countless artificial beauties in his previous life,

Uzuki Yugao was among the top 0.1 percent of beauties, outshining them all.

She was a masterpiece, dazzling beyond compare!

Her long purple hair gave Uzuki Yugao an elegant, beautiful, and poised air.

She had the bearing of a mature woman.

Her purple lips made her look even more exquisite.

At the same time, Uzuki Yugao had a pair of eyes like snow lotuses on a frozen mountain.

She was like a thorny rose, captivating anyone who looked at her.

It was fair to say Uzuki Yugao was the kind of woman who held the greatest allure, stirring a man's desire to win her over.

"I finally get to see you again," Uchiha Gray said softly, his gaze gentle, as if he'd run into an old friend he hadn't seen in years.

"How do you know me?"

As a member of the Anbu, Uzuki Yugao was hidden in darkness, but she longed for the light and hoped someone would see her.

At that moment, Uchiha Gray's words were like an arrow striking straight through to her heart.

Her heart began to race, and a blush spread across her lovely face like a rosy haze.

"None of that matters. What matters is that I've finally seen you again."

How could Uchiha Gray, with his endless supply of sweet words, let Uzuki Yugao lead him around?

Without hesitation, he took her hand. His voice was gentle as he said, "Come take a walk with me."

He didn't even wait to see whether Uzuki Yugao agreed.

With commanding confidence, he simply took her hand and led her toward the snack street in Leaf.

He'd never been any kind of paragon of virtue.

Now that he'd come to this ninja world, he wasn't about to have regrets.

Gekko Hayate, you're going to die sooner or later anyway. It'd be a shame for such a beautiful woman to spend her life alone for you.

Uchiha Gray's lips curled into a smile.

Uchiha Gray and Uzuki Yugao wandered through the snack street like a couple.

Uzuki Yugao gradually relaxed. At that moment, Uchiha Gray was nothing like the boy who'd just been hostile and haughty toward the Third.

Right now, he seemed like an ordinary, handsome boy,

out shopping with his girlfriend.

Who was his girlfriend?

Uzuki Yugao's face flushed, but up close, Uchiha Gray's profile was like that of a sun god.

He radiated warmth, sunlight, and an easygoing charm.

It was hard not to be swept away.

In Uzuki Yugao's eyes, Uchiha Gray was like the sun!

"So, do you like it?"

Uchiha Gray gave Uzuki Yugao the jade comb he'd bought.

Uzuki Yugao was hidden in the Anbu's darkness, but she yearned for the light.

He'd seen every reaction Uzuki Yugao had shown him just now. It was probably because of his Sage Body and the Kizaru Glint-Glint Fruit ability template.

His whole body gave off a warm, welcoming aura like the sun.

To Uzuki Yugao, that held a fatal allure.

Besides, what was the most important thing when you were with a girl?

Looks were certainly part of it, but the most important thing was chemistry.

Above all, a man had to take the lead as the more assertive party!

No woman liked a man who hesitated over everything,

always asking questions.

So, when a relationship was just beginning, a domineering man was undoubtedly the best choice.

Don't ask her if she wants it—just give it to her. Whether you want it or not, I'll treat you well. That was the kind of moment that made a woman's heart flutter most.

And now, there was no doubt about it: Uzuki Yugao had fallen for him.
