Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 241 Waiting

In Konoha Village, the Chunin Exams, which had been interrupted, are now being restarted in full swing.

The Konoha leadership suppressed the possibility that Uchiha Yoh might be alive.

Ye Li was sitting in the audience room at this moment. She glanced at Itachi next to her and wondered if she had been discovered.

"Sigh..." she sighed inwardly, "Although Itachi is handsome and very entertaining, having him right next to her is really affecting her ability to slack off."

Hearing Ye's thoughts, Itachi felt a sense of confusion. "Slacking off? What does that mean?"

"Oh no... I was so busy admiring Itachi's handsome face that I forgot about the important matter. Who was talking to whom just now..." Ye Li scratched her head, but quickly realized that she was now the daimyo's representative. She quickly withdrew her hand, straightened her clothes, and sat up straight.

When Itachi heard Ye praise his appearance again, his ears inexplicably turned red. He seemed to understand what "slacking off" meant.

Ye Li decided to stop peeking at Itachi standing next to her and focus on watching the match. Otherwise, she would be laughed at by Hua Ling when she got back, and she didn't want that to happen.

She wasn't peeking, but Itachi seemed to be staring at her the whole time, even with his Sharingan activated. A thought echoed in her mind again: "Is Itachi attracted to her handsome face? Does he actually like men? Otherwise, why did he ignore Izumi when she spoke to him today? Or were they having a fight?"

"It doesn't seem like they're having a fight, but if Itachi likes men, shouldn't it be Shisui?"

Upon hearing these words, Itachi's crimson eyes turned back to black.

He didn't understand how Ye deduced that, since she was the only person he liked from beginning to end.

With the Chunin Exams over, Ye Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She decided to leave immediately, not wanting to stay a moment longer. As for Minato Namikaze's attempt to persuade her to stay, she exchanged a few polite words and hurriedly departed.

Having just left Konoha Village a short distance away, she breathed a sigh of relief, only to look up and see Itachi waiting ahead.

Now Ye Li understood everything. She dismounted and walked to his side. "Itachi, you recognized me, didn't you!"

Itachi did not deny it, staring intently at Ye Li with deep eyes.

Ye Li immediately transformed back into his original form and turned around, not daring to meet Itachi's eyes.

After a long silence, she turned her back to Itachi, not knowing what to say, and blurted out, "Um... do you want to get your eyes back?"

After receiving no response for a long time, Ye Li walked away, unsure of how to face the situation.

The next second, Itachi pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. "Ye, don't go, okay?"

I miss you so much...

Three years had passed, and he finally saw her. All of Itachi's longing burst forth at that moment.

"Itachi, don't you blame me for lying to you?" Ye Li's face was full of guilt. It seemed that she had lied to him too many times, too many to count.

"It's not my fault, as long as you're still alive." Itachi hugged the person in his arms even tighter.

These words made Ye Li feel even more guilty. After a long while, she finally spoke, "Itachi, can you let me go? People will misunderstand if they see us."

Although she craved Itachi's embrace, she still retained some rationality.

Upon hearing this, Itachi released the person in his arms; he couldn't frighten her.

"I'll go back to Daming Prefecture first, and I'll come back to find you in a couple of days." Ye Li looked away, his voice carrying a tone of negotiation.

"I'll go with you!" He never wanted to be separated from her again.

"Isn't this a bad idea? Won't your girlfriend be jealous?" Ye Li tilted his head, looking at Itachi as if he were a scumbag.

Itachi didn't want Yoru to misunderstand any further, so he took her hand and said very seriously, "Yoru, I don't have a girlfriend, and from the day we met, you've been the only one in my heart, and that has never changed."

"Ye, I like you, I like you so much, I want to be with you and never be apart again."

At that moment, love welled up in his eyes.

Ye Li's head was spinning after hearing these words.

After a long pause, she finally spoke up and asked, "Itachi, I've seen you on a date with someone else!"

"A date??" Itachi's head was instantly filled with question marks. When did he go on a date?

Seeing Itachi's expression, Ye Li became somewhat annoyed and gritted his teeth, prompting, "That year by the river..."

Itachi Uchiha suddenly realized that it wasn't when Ye joined Root.

He wanted to confess his feelings to Ye back then, but he happened to meet a girl from the same class and asked her what she liked. He never expected that Ye would misunderstand him to this day. No wonder Ye was indifferent to him back then, and they missed each other for so long.

"Ye, why didn't you just ask me back then? I've never dated anyone before."

Itachi explained, then hugged the person in front of him again, his voice full of grievance.

After hearing Itachi's explanation, Ye Li didn't want to admit that it was his fault, and said, "But you two were standing so close, anyone would misunderstand!"

"I'm sorry, it was my fault. I will keep my distance from everyone from now on." Itachi immediately admitted his mistake.

This made Ye Li instantly embarrassed. Then, she remembered something and asked, "Itachi, I asked you if you liked me back in the Ninja Academy, and you clearly didn't like me!"

Ah... Ye confessed to him? How come he doesn't remember that?

Ye Li waited for a long time without Itachi speaking, then angrily pushed him away, put her hands on her hips, and said, "Don't you remember the three questions I asked you when I showed you those four photos?"

"I asked you who was the prettiest, who had the best figure, and who was your type, and you didn't choose me."

Upon hearing this, Itachi naturally remembered that incident. He asked in confusion, "Ye, I remember you weren't in those four photos. I didn't want to choose, but you insisted on making me choose them."

Mentioning this only made Itachi feel more aggrieved. He clearly only wanted to choose her, but there was no picture of Ye in the list.

"Then why didn't you just say you chose me? I thought you were just shy," Ye Li pouted, clearly dissatisfied.

So this is the answer?

Itachi was immediately filled with regret. If he had spoken up earlier, they would have been together much sooner.

He stepped forward and grabbed Ye Li's arms. "Ye, I was so stupid to let us miss each other for so long. Please forgive me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Li looked up and met Itachi's eyes, which were filled with love that almost overwhelmed her.

She took Itachi's hand and intertwined their fingers, ready to say yes, but then suddenly remembered that she was just a player. How could she accept Itachi's confession? It would be a waste of time and energy, and more importantly, she was about to leave. It would be better not to start at all.

However, after playing this game for a long time, sometimes it's hard to tell whether it's a game or the real world; it's too confusing.

"I'm going back to Daming Prefecture." Ye Li fled in panic, abandoning his horse and using the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to leave.

The sudden loss of temperature left Itachi dejected, his eyes turning bloodshot. "Ye, I'll wait for you for two more days. I won't let you escape again, otherwise... he won't be able to resist imprisoning her in the Tsukuyomi world."
