Chapter 44 You...you're serious!
"Hey, stop pretending to be asleep, I know you're awake."
Mei Terumi felt someone gently teasing her nostrils with a blade of grass, causing her unbearable itching.
She reluctantly opened her eyes and was met with a pair of smiling dark eyes.
Uchiha Mitsunori snapped his fingers and revealed a bright smile: "I have good news for you. The war is over, and Kirigakure has surrendered."
Mei Terumi instinctively reached for her waist, only to find that her ninja tool pouch had already been confiscated.
As if by magic, Uchiha Mitsunori pulled out her kunai from behind her back, twirling it deftly between her fingers: "Looking for this? I'll keep your weapon for now~"
"Damn it, give it back to me!"
Mei Terumi lunged forward to snatch it, but stumbled due to her leg injury and fell into the arms of Uchiha Mitsunori.
Uchiha Mitsunori caught her steadily and whispered with a wicked grin in her ear, "Wow, so you're quite enthusiastic? But I'm sorry, I'm not interested in little ones."
Mei Terumi's face flushed crimson instantly, and she shoved him away, yelling, "Who—who's interested in you! You arrogance! Get lost!"
Uchiha Mitsunori was not offended; instead, he burst into laughter.
He ran up to Mei Terumi and suddenly changed the subject: "Your Terumi clan is quite interesting. You just finished a war and you're already in a hurry to send you here for a marriage alliance."
Mei Terumi froze, her face filled with disbelief: "What did you say... an arranged marriage?"
Uchiha Mitsunori pulled a scroll from his pocket and waved it in front of her: "The war is over, and your Hidden Mist Village is about to fall into a period of weakness. Your father and I signed an agreement, exchanging you for some protection and a way out."
He sized up Mei Terumi: "Perhaps it's because you've been captivated by me, so your family is using you as a bargaining chip. Actually, if it were a marriage alliance, I'd prefer your family to send someone more mature and beautiful. As for you... oh dear!"
Mei Terumi trembled with anger, not because of her father's arrangement, but because of the contemptuous attitude of the young man in front of her.
She suddenly formed a hand seal and exhaled a stream of high-temperature mist: Boiling Release: Skillful Mist Technique!
Uchiha Mitsumine hadn't even awakened his Sharingan yet; he casually formed hand seals: Wind Release: Great Breakthrough
A gust of wind blew out, dispersing the fog that had just gathered.
Terumi meditated and formed hand seals again, but Uchiha Mitsunori grabbed her hands.
He lifted her up like a kitten: "Save your energy, little wildcat. Come back to the tent with me, I have something important to discuss with you."
Inside the tent at the Konoha camp, Uchiha Mitsunori sat cross-legged opposite Mei Terumi, toying with a kunai in his hand.
He tossed a kunai up and caught it: "You have two choices. First, obediently come back to Konoha with me and become the Uchiha clan's daughter-in-law; second... write a letter home and ask Yuki Chie of the Yuki clan to arrange a marriage for you."
(In this book's setting: Xue Qianhui is Bai's mother. Just look at Bai's appearance, and you'll know she's very beautiful!)
Mei Terumi's eyes widened instantly: "How do you know Yuki-neechan?"
He suddenly leaned close to Mei Terumi, close enough to count her eyelashes: "Yuki Chie, eighteen years old, possesses the 'Ice Release' bloodline limit, has never had a boyfriend, has a gentle and considerate personality, is the perfect candidate for a wife, and most importantly, she is much prettier than you."
"You...bastard...stay away from me!"
Terumi was about to slap him across the face, but he easily grabbed her wrist.
Uchiha Mitsumine nonchalantly released her: "Little wildcat, you have quite the temper. But I can understand, after all, you're going to be married off to... a man you don't even know..."
"Who wants to marry you!" Mei Terumi grabbed a kettle from the ground and threw it at him.
Uchiha Mitsume tilted his head to avoid the kettle, grinning as he said, "Could it be that you've fallen for me? Is that why you don't want Yuki Chie to take your place?"
Mei Terumi was so angry her face turned bright red, her hair practically standing on end: "Keep daydreaming! Narcissist! Idiot! Pervert!"
Uchiha Mitsunori clutched his chest, feigning injury, and shrugged, "That's so unfair! I'm so handsome, so many girls want to marry me. Look at you, you have no figure, no charisma, and your face isn't even as pretty as Yuki Chie's..."
Mei Terumi could no longer resist and pounced on him, biting his arm.
Uchiha Mitsunori exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Aww! Just like a wildcat, that temper is wild enough!"
Terumi Mei let go, looking triumphantly at the teeth marks on his arm: "So what if I bit you! Go ahead and let me go if you dare!"
Thanks to the Sage Body of the Uzumaki clan, the Uchiha Mitsurugi's life recovery was also quite strong.
He gently rubbed his arm, and the teeth marks began to fade slowly, and the bleeding stopped.
"Your family has a marriage alliance with the Snow Clan, and you and Yuki Chie have a good relationship. You should know that she is a peace-loving person, and unlike you, she doesn't like fighting. She wants to come back to Konoha with me and live a prosperous and peaceful life; that's the life she wants. If she doesn't do it for you, in a few years, when you grow up... you'll have to... marry me... and bear my... children!"
Mei Terumi hurriedly turned her face away, stammering as she retorted, "You bastard...who...who wants to marry you...who wants to have children with you!"
Uchiha Mitsunori laughed heartily, then suddenly reached out and ruffled her hair: "You look so cute when you're angry~."
Mei Terumi secretly glanced at the boy beside her. His profile was clean and sharp, and his long eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes.
I have to admit, this guy... is indeed... quite good-looking.
Catching her gaze, Uchiha Mitsunori struck what he considered a cool pose.
Then, with a smile, he said, "Are you mesmerized? Enjoy! I'm just that handsome!"
Mei Terumi hurriedly turned her face away: "Who...who was looking at you...you narcissist...don't touch me!"
She slapped his hand away, but found that she no longer felt the same aversion or desire to touch him as before.
Seeing Mei Terumi's expression, Mitsumine Uchiha felt there was a chance, and he checked the system.
Daoist Partners: Uzumaki Megumi (Affection: 100%), Aoyama Yui (Affection: 60%)
There was no information about Mei Terumi on the system.
Uchiha Mitsunori frowned slightly, pondering for a moment: Does it have to be at close range...? But she's only... That's too beastly... I wonder if kissing would be okay?
So he walked to the opposite side of Mei Terumi, saw that she was in a daze, and lowered his head to kiss her forcefully.
Startled by the sudden attack, Terumi Mei bit his tongue and wouldn't let go.
The tongue is rich in nerves, so it can be quite painful if bitten.
Uchiha Mitsumine, in excruciating pain, clung tightly to Terumi Mei, suffocating her until she could barely breathe, finally managing to loosen her teeth.
"Ding, Daoist Partner: Terumi Mei's affection level has increased by 19%, currently at 63%..."
"You...you big pervert...you big bastard...go to hell!"
"Ouch... Ouch... That hurts... You... You're serious?!"
Mei Terumi stomped hard on the big toe of Uchiha Mitsunori.
