Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 71 A Quarrel

"I'm finally back."

Uchiha Yo wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed.

After resting for a while, she deactivated her shadow clone in Konoha and then headed towards the rendezvous point.

Kakashi was just about to leave the house when he suddenly disappeared, wondering why Uchiha Hajime hadn't left the house yet.

"Was he taken away? But there's no trace of anyone else."

“He couldn’t possibly not have noticed that he’d been arrested.”

After a moment's thought, Kakashi entered Uchiha Yoh's house through the window.

He examined the items and found that apart from the pen on the table, nothing else had been moved. If someone had taken something, they would have left no trace. The pen was neatly arranged, so there was only one possibility: the item left on its own.

"What kind of ninjutsu can leave no chakra behind? Did she develop this ninjutsu herself?"

He had been monitoring her for a while. The Third Hokage often used the 'Telescope Technique' to check on Uchiha Yoru's situation, so he naturally knew that she had developed many ninjutsu.

Uchiha Yoru naturally knew about this 'telescope technique'. She knew every time the Third Hokage spied on her, and she would deliberately let Hiruzen Sarutobi see what she wanted to expose.

Life is tough!

"Does Hiruzen Sarutobi never sleep? He's spying on people first thing in the morning!" she thought to herself, then ignored him.

"Good morning, everyone!" Uchiha Ye greeted Orochimaru, Anko, and Itachi.

All three of them simultaneously felt that something was wrong.

It's really strange when someone who always arrives early suddenly shows up right on time.

Uchiha Ye naturally knew what they were thinking, and gave a timely yawn to temporarily dispel their thoughts.

She was indeed very sleepy, but this was intentional; she deliberately didn't use her spiritual power to recover her energy.

"Ha..." Uchiha Ye couldn't help but yawn again, slowly walked to Itachi's side and stood there, his gaze falling on Orochimaru.

"Next, I will guide your training and teach you new ninjutsu..." Orochimaru said, looking at the three with an inscrutable expression.

"Wait... she didn't hear wrong, did she? Orochimaru is actually going to teach them how to train? This feels so surreal!" Uchiha Ye, who had been feeling down, suddenly perked up and gave Orochimaru a strange look.

As luck would have it, she met Orochimaru's eyes. She quickly turned her head away and looked elsewhere, only to meet Itachi's eyes again.

"She forgot Itachi was by her side!"

"Hmph..." Uchiha Ye snorted coldly, turned his head away, looked up at the sky, and didn't look anywhere.

"Ye's attitude towards him is even colder than yesterday!" Itachi was very hurt and tried hard to suppress his emotions.

"It's only been three days, what happened between these two?" Hongdou asked, her face full of gossip as she looked between the two.

Even Orochimaru glanced at him, but he quickly dismissed the awkwardness between the two, paused for a moment, and continued, "Attack me with all your might!"

"No way! Didn't we just steal the bell a while ago to check out their strength? Even though there's no bell this time, what's the difference?" Uchiha Ye thought to himself, feeling incredibly frustrated.

"Could it be because of what Hiruzen Sarutobi said?"

"Otherwise, why use the telescope technique at this time?"

As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, Anko threw out several kunai, aiming for a surprise attack.

"Ye..." Itachi called out, and Uchiha Ye instantly understood his thoughts.

Now is definitely not the time to keep our distance from Itachi, so a team should naturally cooperate.

She reached out her hand, and Itachi used Ye's hand seals to unleash "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique," blocking Orochimaru's retreat.

Uchiha Ye's other hand wasn't idle either; he formed a hand seal and shouted, "Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!" predicting Orochimaru's next move.

Itachi used his other technique in conjunction with Uchiha Ye's "Phoenix Flower Technique" to launch several shuriken that flew through the air.

"What perfect teamwork!" Orochimaru thought with admiration, but this level of coordination was not enough to hurt him.

"Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!" Suddenly, several snakes flew out from Hongdou's sleeve, blocking Orochimaru's next escape route.

"I never expected that the three of us would cooperate so well on a single mission!" Orochimaru thought to himself, his expression becoming much more serious.

After a while, the three of them sat on the ground, panting.

She could only say she was capable of a fight, but she didn't want to reveal too much of her strength, meaning she was only slightly stronger than in their last encounter.

She remembered that Itachi had developed a genjutsu, which he hadn't used at all, so it seemed that he had taken her request to heart.

However, Itachi's three tomoe clearly indicate that he is not simple. Hiruzen Sarutobi would probably feel heartbroken every time he saw it, and Danzo probably wished he could take Itachi into the Root organization.

Uchiha Ye frowned slightly, thinking that Itachi had activated the Three Tomoe Sharingan because of her. "Oh my, this is a headache."

"Should we go and kill Danzo?" she considered this possibility.

At that moment, a figure came to her side and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Uchiha Ye knew without a doubt that it was Itachi.

Should we refuse?

"Thinking about it, Itachi didn't seem to have done anything wrong. He just left without saying goodbye to her that day."

Was her initial assumption too preconceived?

"How about we be more direct?"

Uchiha Ye quickly dismissed the idea; what if Itachi's feelings for her were really just friendship? Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?

However, Itachi was indeed very good to her, and she decided, "I will help Itachi walk his path from now on; whether he likes me or not is not that important."

"Ye didn't reject him!" A hint of joy flashed across Itachi's face. He had long forgotten his previous state of mind, and his heart and eyes were filled with the image of Uchiha Ye.

He reluctantly withdrew his hand, and a clear, melodious voice rang out, "Itachi, sit down and let me lean on you for a while."

"Ah...okay!" Itachi was taken aback for a moment, then immediately agreed with a silly grin. "Ye has finally returned to her previous attitude towards him!"

"It must have been because he didn't do well enough that Ye distanced himself from him!" Itachi Uchiha reflected deeply.

If Uchiha Ye knew what Itachi was thinking, he would definitely say, "Stupid Itachi, what are you imagining now!"

In a secluded spot where no one could see him, Uchiha Ye secretly extended a finger and placed it on Itachi's body, circulating his spiritual energy to relieve fatigue and restore his spirit.

Uchiha Ye leaned on Itachi's shoulder, and Itachi's face visibly flushed red. Remembering that Anko and Orochimaru were also there, he suppressed his inner turmoil and returned to his usual self.

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi watched their battle through the 'Telescope Technique' before dispelling the ninjutsu after it ended.

He exclaimed with admiration, "The Uchiha clan has indeed produced two extraordinary geniuses. Their strength has increased significantly since then, and they are approaching Jonin level at such a young age. It's truly terrifying."

However, he was more concerned about Itachi Uchiha's eyes. At only seven years old, his Sharingan had already reached the three-tomoe stage, even earlier than Shisui's.

Furthermore, his father, Fugaku Uchiha, possessed a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan. The thought of this filled him with worry, and he couldn't help but recall Danzo's suggestion that perhaps he really should curb the development of the Uchiha clan.
