"Fugaku, say something! What's your plan?"
Minato felt a little confused and turned to look at Fugaku.
But when he turned around, a handsome face was staring right at him!
"Lose yourself in the Sharingan's genjutsu!"
Minato was instantly startled. With such an absurdly long windup followed by a zero-frame opening move, there was no way he could react in time!
Before his consciousness blurred, he looked at Fugaku beside him.
"You bastard, you set me up..."
Minato closed his eyes. Within the hollow darkness lay bottomless unwillingness and despair.
"Got him!"
Fugaku poked Minato's cheek.
"Sorry, Minato. It's just that you're too handsome, and all the girls like you. Sometimes your brother here wants a little revenge too!"
"Stop comforting yourself and get to it!"
The two took out the clothes and began comparing sizes, removing tags, and figuring out which side was the front.
"You just took a bath? You still smell so nice. That saves us some trouble."
When Minato broke free of the genjutsu and returned to reality.
Two people wearing mischievous grins stood before him.
He immediately understood and looked down at his clothes.
"You two bastards!"
He was wearing a cute pink dress trimmed with white lace.
On his legs were white silk stockings that came just past his knees, while his soles had even been painted a pale pink!
"You two! Why would you do this to me?"
Minato's face instantly turned red, and he covered it with both hands.
With a click, he looked over in stunned disbelief.
His good brother, Fugaku Uchiha, was holding a camera.
"This picture is adorable too!"
Xuanhui glanced at it and nodded.
"Indeed."
"You even took pictures!"
Minato charged forward, wanting to perish together with the two of them.
"Don't! Minato! Don't get too close to me!"
Fugaku was a little scared, because after all this, Minato really did look rather attractive!
"Don't get so worked up, Minato! You really look especially good right now. If you don't believe me, go take a look!"
The two dragged Minato over to a full-length mirror.
His red twin ponytails curved upward with a proud flourish. His delicate features were particularly pleasing to the eye, and the well-fitting clothes brought out the cute style to the fullest.
Looking at the little girl in the mirror, Minato's face flushed bright red.
[The girl in the mirror is actually me...]
"Minato, what do you think? Aren't you gorgeous? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"I'm going to kill you two!"
Minato shook them both by the shoulders, determined to teach them a lesson.
"Wait! Minato! Can't we negotiate some terms?"
"Negotiate terms? When you two Uchiha bastards used Sharingan genjutsu on me, why didn't you negotiate terms with me?"
"Then can we threaten you instead?"
"You're going to threaten me too? Brother Xuanhui, how could you..."
Xuanhui shook the photo in his hand.
"Minato, that girl in your class is called Kushina Uzumaki, right?"
Minato's anger instantly diminished by more than half, and his rational mind returned.
"What do you want?"
"Be good, or I'll show this picture to Kushina!
But don't worry, we won't make any excessive demands of you."
"Despicable..."
Minato tightly crossed his arms over his chest and watched the two of them warily.
"Mr. Minato, you wouldn't want your cute crossdressing photo to be seen by the girl you like, would you?
Heh heh heh heh heh!"
Fugaku Uchiha discreetly glanced at Xuanhui.
[This guy can actually make such an evil laugh!]
[Good thing he went easy on me.]
"Until it's time to sleep tonight, you have to keep wearing that outfit.
Then come out to dinner with us tonight. How about it?"
Xuanhui pointed at Fugaku.
"That guy is treating us to ramen."
At that, Minato shook his head like a rattle drum and reached out to grab Xuanhui by the collar.
"How am I supposed to go out like this? What if I run into someone I know..."
"I knew you'd say that. This is a mask we bought for you."
Minato took it and looked at it, his face darkening.
It had a pale pink background and strawberry patterns printed on it...
"Do I really have to be a girl today?"
"Wasn't that what we agreed on?"
"Didn't you two just decide it among yourselves and drag me into it?"
"But you didn't refuse, did you?"
"But..."
"Alright, Minato. I know you might have been looking forward to seeing what you'd look like in women's clothes.
Today, I just happened to fulfill that hidden wish of yours! You should thank me!"
"Wait..."
"It might be embarrassing if people you know see you wearing it normally, but since we forced you to wear it, doesn't that make it different?
Just wear it for one day. The two of us will protect you!"
Minato truly was a natural airhead. Xuanhui had talked him right into it with just a few words.
He clearly didn't like wearing women's clothes, yet Xuanhui had tricked him into treating it as a brief one-day experiment.
"Fine, just this once..."
The way Fugaku looked at Xuanhui had completely changed. At that moment, his eyes were filled with respect.
[With this boy around, why should the Uchiha Clan and Konoha fear that they will not prosper?]
The three sat at Minato's house, chatted, played games, and took a short afternoon nap. The whole afternoon passed just like that.
"Come on, wake up! Time to eat!"
Xuanhui opened his eyes, saw Fugaku in front of him, and rubbed his eyes.
"Wake me up again. Have Minato do it."
After saying that, Xuanhui closed his eyes again.
Minato awkwardly scratched his cheek, but obediently stepped forward and gave Xuanhui a push.
This time, Xuanhui opened his eyes and saw the cute little twin-tailed girl. He nodded in satisfaction.
"Let's go!"
He got up to put on his shoes, only for Fugaku to grab him by the shoulder.
"Hey! What do you mean by that?"
"What else could it mean? Would you rather have a beautiful girl wake you up, or an utterly ordinary little boy?"
"You fucking..."
"Boss! Three bowls of premium tonkotsu beef ramen!"
"Alright! Just a moment!"
Fugaku and Xuanhui sat with Minato sandwiched between them, the three lined up side by side.
Fugaku looked at the menu with some pain in his heart and silently cursed Xuanhui.
He knew this brat had deliberately ordered the extravagant version of the ramen!
"Huh? Brother Xuanhui? Didn't you go to the battlefield?"
A lively, clear voice rang out. Xuanhui and the others turned around and immediately saw a head of eye-catching red hair.
"Oh! Isn't this Kushina? I earned some merit on the battlefield. Things aren't too tense over there right now, so I came back to take a look before leaving again!"
"Brother Xuanhui, you're amazing!"
Kushina Uzumaki had been introduced to Xuanhui through Minato, but they did not know each other very well.
"Why are only Fugaku and you guys here? Where's Minato?"
"He caught a cold, so we didn't force him to come out."
Kushina nodded. Sitting nearby, she looked suspiciously at the girl in the pink dress seated in the middle.
The shame Minato felt was nearly off the charts, and his fingers kept fidgeting with the hem of his skirt.
At last, he could not endure it any longer!
He reached out and tugged on Xuanhui's sleeve.
Xuanhui immediately understood.
"Kushina, this is my girlfriend. You can just call her Xiao Shui.
She's a little shy around strangers, so please don't keep staring at her."
