Uchiha Ying was born with the Mangekyō Sharingan already awakened.

One eye possessed the power of space — it could generate a mirrored world, a replica of the Shinobi World in scale and structure.

The other eye had the ability to copy — any person he touched could be replicated into his ocular space. As long as his chakra reserves were high enough, the body he produced would possess the same capabilities as the real person.

"Right now, though... it seems like both abilities can't be used, but somehow they've merged with this so-called 'Dream Space.'"

Could it be... that after unexpectedly traveling decades into the future, his Sharingan underwent some bizarre transformation? And that's how this cheat-like "Dream Space" emerged?

As Uchiha Ying speculated about the connection between his Mangekyō Sharingan and this strange realm, he continued exploring the functions of the eyes he had finally regained.

Besides enhanced dynamic vision and chakra flow perception, the only ability that remained now was...

"Phasing!"

Ying activated the ability while reaching toward the mirror in front of him.

As expected, his entire arm passed through it — as if it were intangible.

"Damn, it eats up a lot of chakra."

After just a short while, he already felt that he didn't have enough chakra to keep his Mangekyō Sharingan activated.

"Looks like it's back... but only partially."

Still, staring into the mirror at the red glow of his Mangekyō eyes, Ying couldn't help but think they had one undeniable function:

Style.

Put on a mask, let only these blood-colored eyes show — maybe he wouldn't even have to lift a finger to scare off half his enemies.

"Hmph. Next... it's time for me to tell a tale worthy of divine tears."

Now, he finally had the power to protect himself in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo.

"But still... last night I didn't get to figure out whether the Rabbit Goddess is bigger, or if Tsunade's are..."

The moment Ying entered Tsunade's... office last night, all his attention had been utterly consumed by her soft and delicious curves. Who the hell had the time to compare her with anyone else?

If only, someday, he could lay them side by side on the same bed...

Then he'd be able to judge properly.

Unfortunately, he couldn't pull Tsunade, or Kaguya, or even Hinata out of the environments they existed in.

"Y-Ying-kun... g-good morning..."

Bright and early, Hinata arrived at Team 8's mission rendezvous point.

She hadn't expected Uchiha Ying to arrive even earlier than her.

Probably because she'd spent too much time every morning washing her underwear...

Just thinking about those nightly "dreams" and the laundry they left behind made her want to bury herself in embarrassment.

Worse, every time she saw Ying now, she was instantly reminded of the shameful poses he made her do in her dreams.

The moment she heard his voice, she'd remember the sweet nothings he whispered into her dream-self's ears.

A simple brush against his arm, and her body would recall the way his hands had explored her in every forbidden corner.

Even just noticing his lips would trigger the memory of him kissing her from top to bottom.

Her family's maid once told her: if a girl dreams of those kinds of things every night, there's only one word to describe her.

Lewd.

"Uuugh... I'm such a shameless woman..."

Every morning, Hinata had to summon every ounce of willpower just to keep from acting suspicious in front of Uchiha Ying.

If he ever found out what went on inside her mind, he would absolutely hate her and stay far, far away.

She knew — if a guy fantasized about her every night, she'd definitely look down on him.

"I must... absolutely must not let Ying-kun find out anything's wrong!"

Forcing herself to resist the heat that bloomed in her body just from seeing him, Hinata made a firm decision in her heart.

But from Ying's perspective... her behavior just seemed a little odd.

Could that incident during their academy sparring — the one where he accidentally groped her — have affected her this much?

Seeing the timid, white-eyed girl blush like a rabbit and avoid eye contact as soon as she saw him... Ying just found it amusing.

If Hinata weren't a ninja, one punch would probably make her cry for hours.

"Hinata, do you... not like me?"

"No! That's not it, I..."

She blurted out the denial without even thinking.

To her, Uchiha Ying could mean many things — but hatred was definitely not one of them.

"Then why do you always stay so far away from me?"

Each time Ying took a step forward, the little rabbit took one step back, until she was cornered against a wall. Finally, she lowered her head and stopped dodging his approach.

"I..."

N-No, don't come any closer... you're too close, I can't take it...

As Ying leaned in until he was practically pinning her against the wall, Hinata felt her white eyes growing red from the heat in her head.

I-I'm gonna faint...

And if this keeps up... I-I might leak again...

"A love scene first thing in the morning. What a cursed way to start the day."

Thankfully, Shino Aburame stepped in at just the right time, interrupting Ying's advance — and rescuing a near-faint Hinata.

"N-no! It's not what it looks like, Shino-kun! I-I wasn't... we weren't...!"

Hinata jumped to clarify.

She didn't care if people misunderstood her — a filthy girl like her could take it.

But if Ying was misunderstood because of her... she couldn't bear it.

"Shino? Didn't expect you to be here this early."

"Sensei said we have a new mission."

Shino Aburame had once thought he'd lucked out being placed in a great team.

An Uchiha and a Hyuga, plus himself — they could finish missions with ease and grow stronger together.

But the reality?

He was the team's eternal third wheel and designated errand boy.

Every day, he was either a lightbulb or a tool. Two teammates constantly caught in ambiguous tension, and a biased teacher...

Only he diligently carried out the village's errands, day after day.

And when they were done, that damned Uchiha would toss out lines like:

"Shino, your bugs are real handy. You made that cat-catching job a breeze."

Words that could make a grown man cry.

"A new mission, huh?"

Ying recalled vaguely — yeah, that did seem familiar.

Unlike other genin teams, Team 8 had a very specific loadout — Aburame bugs and Hyuga eyes. They could finish D-rank missions with ease.

To avoid making them too lazy, Kurenai had probably applied for a higher-ranked assignment.

Although... if his guess was right, the "real" mission behind the scenes was likely something Hiruzen Sarutobi had arranged.

Ying remembered being summoned in secret to the Hokage's office — under the identity of an ANBU.
