Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 80: Another Misunderstanding?

"Orochimaru-sensei has a lover? This is big news!" Uchiha Ye ignored the other words and looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he immediately realized that Anko was talking nonsense. "What? She's not sincere at all like Itachi."

Uchiha Ye mentally scoffed and moved closer to Itachi.

"Ye, would you like this?" Itachi asked, and the food was already being handed to Uchiha Ye.

She turned her head and ate it in one gulp, without even seeing what it was. She only knew that Itachi would never feed her anything she didn't like.

Ye's trust in him made Itachi Uchiha very pleased.

Uchiha Ye swallowed and continued, "Anko-nee, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"That man has a lover, but he's already married. You know what I mean!"

"What! You're saying this person is keeping a..." Hongdou was only halfway through her sentence when Uchiha Ye covered her mouth tightly. "Hongdou-nee, don't be so loud, everyone's looking over here."

Only after receiving a look from Anko did Uchiha Ye release her, and the two huddled together, beginning to whisper among themselves.

"How did you find out?" Hongdou asked curiously.

"That's the experience of watching a play. Sister Hongdou, you still haven't seen enough..."

"Let me tell you..."

The two chatted back and forth, getting more and more into it, but mostly Anko was listening. "There's nothing I can do, she's never heard of what Uchiha Yoh is saying."

Even Itachi unconsciously pricked up his ears to listen attentively, but he preferred that Yoru speak to him alone, even if the content wasn't something he liked.

Orochimaru had no interest whatsoever; all he knew was that Itachi and Anko had been completely led astray by Uchiha Yoru.

They were clearly on a mission, yet they showed absolutely no sense of crisis. "Looks like we need to teach them a lesson."

"Ye-chan, you're amazing! You can figure out so much from just a gift." Hongdou couldn't help but exclaim in admiration after hearing the last part.

"Not at all..." Uchiha Ye replied modestly, but his eyes were full of smugness.

"By the way, Ye-chan, what would you do if you were in this situation?" Hongdou asked curiously.

"Of course, just chop it up!" Uchiha Ye replied without hesitation.

"Ah...isn't this too harsh?" Red Bean's lips twitched slightly.

"That's harsh? I think it's quite polite." Uchiha Ye's expression was very calm.

"Ye Jiang, you're too young to understand the importance of that position for a man," Hong Dou said mysteriously in a low voice.

Uchiha Ye wanted to argue, but Itachi pulled him away, afraid that Ye would say something outrageous again.

While spending time with Ye, he often heard her say strange and unusual things, which led him to buy many books to learn more about her. At this point, Uchiha Itachi was no longer the innocent child he once was.

Anko got up to try and stop it, but she couldn't beat Uchiha Itachi, so she sat back down sheepishly and gave Uchiha Ye a helpless look.

"You made a bad choice in your friends!" Uchiha Ye retorted, letting Itachi pull her away, but she didn't resist at all; in fact, she was a little excited.

"Itachi is getting more and more domineering." She looked at Itachi's back and smiled brightly.

"Ye, this is a rest area I set up during my spare time."

"You can sleep here for a while. I'll wake you up when we set off," Itachi Uchiha said, leading her to a nearby tent.

"Itachi, you're so kind."

"Let's rest together!" Uchiha Ye thought he would be rejected, but he was genuinely surprised to hear Itachi agree.

"Has he finally figured it out?"

"Should we try that spell?"

Uchiha Ye suddenly felt conflicted, worried that she might misunderstand again.

Although that's what she thought, she silently began to circulate her spiritual energy.

"No reaction?" She secretly glanced at Itachi's palm, feeling disappointed, and silently turned her head to close her eyes and go to sleep.

"Why does Ye suddenly seem to be in a bad mood?" A hint of doubt flashed in Itachi Uchiha's eyes, when a golden light caught his attention.

"What is this?" He opened his hand, and the character 'Night' appeared on it.

In less than three seconds, his hand returned to normal, as if what had just happened was just his imagination.

three days later.

"What? They said there would be ninjas, but we haven't seen a single one." Hongdou looked at the departing caravan, her tone full of resentment.

"Isn't it great to complete the task easily? What's there to worry about?"

"I heard there's a nice hot spring inn in the town ahead, wanna go?" Uchiha Ye asked, then headed towards the town on his own.

"You're not planning to pretend to be Orochimaru and cause trouble again while he's not around, are you?!" Anko saw right through him.

"I'm not that bored, I just wanted to treat myself." Uchiha Ye rolled his eyes. "Besides, didn't the teacher tell us to stay here for a couple more days? Do you like spending the night in the wild? I'm not going to keep you company!"

"Itachi, let's go!"

"Is this really necessary to treat people differently?" Hongdou complained and quickly followed.

"Why did you stop?" Hongdou asked, puzzled, when she saw Uchiha Ye suddenly stop.

She ignored it, squatted down, and stretched out two fingers to sense the ground, saying, "There's a group of people coming this way from behind us. Their malice is very obvious; they're most likely a band of bandits."

"The target should be this town. Should we lend a hand?" Uchiha Ye asked them calmly.

"What! I've often heard of bandits massacring villages. How could I stand by and do nothing? If you two are scared, then hide to the side."

"Wait a minute, Ye-chan."

“Bandits usually only come out at night, so it’s strange that they’re here in broad daylight.” Red Bean looked at Uchiha Ye with a puzzled expression.

"Sister Hongdou, I just said it's possible," Uchiha Ye retorted irritably, then added, "Those people have stopped now; they'll probably make their move tonight."

"Ye, how far away are those people from here, and how many are there?" Itachi asked calmly.

"About two kilometers away, there are about a hundred people, and two of them are heading this way. They're probably here to scout out the situation."

Uchiha Ye revealed everything he knew, and then said, "Itachi, do you have something on your mind? Tell us so we can discuss it."

Itachi nodded, and based on the information he received from Ye, he formulated three targeted battle plans.

"This battle plan is good, I support it." After hearing Itachi's plan, Anko gave it her full approval.

Uchiha Ye silently raised his hand, "Can I object? I don't want to do logistics."

"With you behind us, Ye, that's our greatest source of confidence," Itachi Uchiha said with a rather serious expression.

"Okay, okay." Uchiha Ye knew this would happen, and changed the subject, "Stretch out your hands!"
