Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 257 Reflection

Chapter 257 Reflection

For the next period of time, Itachi would leave in a hurry after preparing and eating each meal. If Ye Li hadn't noticed the restraint in Itachi's eyes, she would have suspected that Itachi was toying with her feelings.

But since she's already revealed her hand, why is Itachi suddenly becoming serious? "Why is that?"

Frustrated, Ye Li punched the tree in front of him, snapping it in half.

"Ye, when will you become as violent as Tsunade? Nobody will like that."

A familiar voice rang out behind Ye Li.

Ye Li turned around and exclaimed in surprise, "Jiraiya-senpai, why are you back in the village?"

"Isn't this a return..." Jiraiya hadn't finished speaking when Tsunade grabbed his ear.

"Who are you calling violent? Jiraiya!" Tsunade said in a sinister tone.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Jiraiya quickly begged for mercy.

He was quickly captivated by the scenery before him and stopped complaining of pain; instead, two red blushes appeared on his face.

With a 'bang'.

Jiraiya was sent flying backwards in a parabola.

Ye Li pursed his lips to suppress a laugh, then jogged over to Tsunade and gossiped, "Tsunade-neechan, did you come back together?"

Tsunade blushed, but quickly regained her composure. "No, that's not true. Your teacher is back too."

"Ah..." She was surprised and turned her head to see Orochimaru and Jiraiya walking over together.

"Heh... Is this going to be a joint trial by three judges?"

"Orochimaru-sensei should help her, but why does she seem like she wants to run away?" She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and followed behind the three of them.

Izakaya.

Ye Li felt her scalp tingling from their stares, and obediently poured them drinks, hoping they wouldn't interrogate her.

She tried to minimize her presence, but she overthought things and came anyway.

After an hour of questioning, she was finally released.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru didn't cover for her at all; instead, he was the one who asked her the most questions.

Fortunately, I was worried about this happening beforehand, so I prepared a story and managed to get away with it.

However, she didn't dare show it, instead filling their glasses and making herself a glass as well.

She was about to pick up her drink when Tsunade snatched it from her and made her gulp it down before saying, "Ye, you're only fifteen years old, you can't drink alcohol!"

Tsunade then called over a waiter and brought him a drink.

Ye Li stared at the glass of juice, feeling extremely annoyed; it was one of her least favorite drinks.

"Revenge...blatant revenge!"

She took a sip, and sure enough, it tasted like the bitter melon she hated most.

Under Tsunade's watchful gaze, Ye Li forced himself to finish the drink.

"I'd rather have gotten beaten up, sigh..."

From the shadows, Mizuki saw her drink the beverage and a smile crept onto his lips, but the smile was somewhat chilling.

Although he could tell that the others were people of great importance, that did not stop him from wanting revenge.

At this moment, he had already begun to fantasize about how to torture Ye Li and how to make Uchiha Itachi see Ye Li after he was tortured.

Ye Li never expected that someone would drug her. She was surrounded by the Three Ninjas; who would be so bold?

She's currently in the Golden Core stage, so the medicine is working very slowly, and she hasn't noticed it at all. The bitter melon flavor masks many other tastes.

The dinner party didn't end until Tsunade and Jiraiya were both completely drunk.

"Orochimaru-sensei, you seem to have had quite a bit to drink too, how come you're not drunk at all?" she asked in confusion, supporting the intoxicated Tsunade.

"Alcohol has no effect on me!" Orochimaru explained after a moment's thought.

Hearing this explanation, Ye Li looked envious and said, "Orochimaru-sensei, why don't you send me some of your cells? I'm suddenly very interested."

"Don't do anything reckless!" Orochimaru glanced at his disciple, his words clearly stating his stance.

"Teacher, this is really not like you."

"By the way, teacher, could I ask you for a favor?" Ye Li asked, puzzled, before finally speaking up.

"Tell me about it!" Orochimaru's face showed a hint of curiosity, after all, his disciple had never spoken in such a tone before.

"Teacher, I set up a 'secluded village' and took in a lot of orphans. I would like to ask you to manage it. Everything there is guaranteed and it will not affect your research."

"The houses for the teachers have been built long ago."

Orochimaru knew this disciple was going to try and get something out of him again, but he didn't expect this time to be so ruthless. In the end, he agreed.

Ye Li was overjoyed to hear that Orochimaru-sensei had agreed.

At that moment, Shizune and Kabuto walked over and took the two drunkards from each other.

As for what she said earlier, whether Jiraiya and Tsunade heard it or not, Ye Li didn't care at all. If she didn't want them to know, she wouldn't have said it under these circumstances. The main thing was that she had a little plan in mind.

"Hey hey hey..."

"But why does it feel a bit hot?"

On her way back, Ye Li muttered to herself, "Could it be that my body is having problems again?" Someone was following her at a leisurely pace.

Shui Mu was very puzzled at this point, wondering if the medicine was ineffective, since it hadn't taken effect after so long.

He had originally planned to look for another opportunity, but in the end he was unwilling to keep waiting. However, he dared not get too close and always kept a distance, for fear of being discovered.

Seeing Ye Li separate from them, Shui Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, if they had stayed together, there would have been no chance to make a move.

It doesn't matter that the medicine didn't work; Ye Li clearly wasn't a match for him.

He followed it for a while and found that the medicine was starting to work; it was as if heaven was helping him.

After passing through a deserted area, Shui Mu quietly made his move.

Hearing a whooshing sound behind him, Ye Li suddenly turned around and threw a punch.

She never expected that someone would ambush her in Konoha Village.

Ye Li used some chakra and found that his body was getting hotter and hotter, and the flow of chakra in his body was slowing down a lot. He immediately realized that he had been drugged.

"But when exactly?"

Ye Li looked up at the person she had knocked away, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "How could it be Shui Mu!"

She had rejected him twice before and hadn't seen him since. She thought he had given up, but she never expected him to be waiting for her here.

"Heh... People like this should just die already!"

Anyone else would have fallen for his trick. Ye Li didn't care about what would happen next; he decided to kill him first.

She walked step by step toward the spot where Shui Mu had fallen.

With each step, the expected outcome didn't happen; instead, Shui Mu, who had been lying on the ground, turned into a piece of wood.

"That's wonderful!"

Ye Li deeply regretted not striking harder with that punch earlier. He knew he couldn't catch up now, or the enemy had already escaped Konoha.

Mizuki was indeed running away. After taking that punch, he realized he was no match for Ye Li and decisively used a substitution technique to leave.

Having escaped this little trick, Ye Li immediately reflected on her actions. Her strength was increasing while her sense of crisis was decreasing, which was really unacceptable.

However, the most important thing right now is to neutralize the medication in my body.
