Chapter 72 Buying a book is really difficult
Kakashi, wearing an Anbu mask, stood to the side and naturally witnessed the battle that had just taken place.
"So the person I saw last night was just a shadow clone?"
"How could there be such a sophisticated shadow clone? He didn't even notice it at such close range."
On the training field, Orochimaru, seeing that they had rested enough, said, "Next, I'm going to teach you the 'Shadow Clone Shuriken Technique.' Watch carefully."
After he finished speaking, he walked to the three wooden stakes, flicked out several shuriken, then formed hand seals and shouted, "Shadow Clone Shuriken Technique!"
Uchiha Itachi glanced at Uchiha Ye, a strange feeling creeping into his heart. "What on earth is Ye so happy about?"
"Ye already knew this ninjutsu. He saw Ye use it many times and had already learned it. The teacher doesn't seem to know about it."
Uchiha Itachi didn't intend to say anything, but watched Orochimaru's hand movements very carefully, trying to memorize them all at once.
Uchiha Ye was naturally happy; once Orochimaru taught her, she was able to see that she had learned the ninjutsu on her character panel.
Orochimaru demonstrated it once, then had Itachi step forward first to use it.
Just as he expected, Itachi Uchiha succeeded on his first try.
The same applies to Uchiha Yoru.
He didn't have much hope for his disciple, Hongdou.
Hongdou felt immense pressure being watched by the three of them, but she quickly recovered and thought, "With such talented teammates, she can choose to be carried."
She was still very resentful, but what could she do? She simply couldn't use that ninjutsu.
She decisively took out a string of glutinous rice balls and ate them to comfort her wounded heart.
Around 3 PM, Orochimaru said to the three who were still training, "Let's go, it's time to take some photos!"
"Take a picture?" Uchiha Ye looked puzzled. She remembered taking a picture when she became a genin!
Itachi immediately noticed Ye's confusion. "Ye, this is a photo of the team."
Uchiha Ye suddenly realized that Konoha Village did indeed have this tradition: a team would take a photo after its formation.
"Hey, hey, hey... I don't want to stand in the middle!" Red Bean struggled and said.
"Sister Anko, you're older than us, so... objections are invalid!" Uchiha Ye grinned mischievously, pressing down on Anko with one hand while making a peace sign and glancing at the photographer to hurry up and press the button.
Itachi didn't even look at the camera; his eyes were fixed on Uchiha Yoru the whole time. Orochimaru crossed his arms and gave a faint smile.
The photo shows four people, each doing their own thing, yet they appear remarkably harmonious.
"Crack!"
Uchiha Ye was quite satisfied with the photo in his hand, but Anko didn't think so. She insisted on taking another one, and was eventually dragged away by Uchiha Ye.
In the end, Hongdou had no choice but to accept her fate. After all, she had two genius teammates who were impossible to beat in a fight or argue with.
"Don't be discouraged, Sister Hongdou! I'll treat you to some glutinous rice balls!" Uchiha Ye's words instantly brightened Hongdou's listless expression.
The next day, at the mission reception office.
"Seriously?! Why do we need to do such low-level tasks as catching cats, walking dogs, and weeding lawns? Aren't there any other options?"
"At least give me a D-rank mission!" Uchiha Ye was very dissatisfied with these missions.
Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to have anticipated this, and immediately slammed his fist on the table, declaring "objection overruled." The current situation was too unstable to allow them to leave Konoha.
Uchiha Ye wanted to say something more, but Anko pulled him away and left.
"Hey, hey, hey... don't pull me! This is for the benefit of everyone. What's the point of staying in Konoha all the time!"
"So you weren't dissatisfied with the mission, you just wanted to go out and have fun!" Hongdou guessed the truth immediately.
Uchiha Ye shrugged. "What else?"
"I suggest you pay attention to the teacher's expression," Anko whispered in Uchiha Ye's ear.
"What do you mean?" Upon hearing this, Uchiha Ye subconsciously looked at Orochimaru, as if he had remembered something. "Hey! The middle of the day is the perfect time to catch a cat. Let's finish this mission quickly."
"Wait, put on the radios first!" Orochimaru took out four radios, gave one to each of them, and put the last one on himself.
"Ye, let me fix this for you!" Itachi said, noticing that Ye's radio was crooked as he put it on.
“Okay!” Uchiha Ye did not object and stood still while Itachi adjusted her.
"This Naruto world feels both advanced and backward!" She couldn't help but mutter to herself during this brief moment.
Itachi was currently undergoing one of the trials of his life, "Such a slender and fair neck."
He tried hard not to look, focusing on the radio, but his hand still occasionally touched his skin; that short half minute felt like an eternity.
"Alright, Ye." His voice was a little hoarse.
"Hmm," Uchiha Ye replied, completely oblivious.
The three of them then split up to look for the cat.
Orochimaru found a shady spot to wait, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
"Jiyingtang!"
During the search, Uchiha Yo saw the poster in front of him and turned back instead of leaving.
"I couldn't buy it last time because of Kakashi, so I probably won't run into Kakashi in broad daylight now!"
"I'll just buy a book to pass the time while doing E-level missions."
Uchiha Yoh turned and went to a corner to perform the 'Transformation Jutsu' before entering the 'Hall of Heroes'.
Unfortunately, she didn't notice that a white-haired man was witnessing everything from above her head.
Upon entering the 'Hall of Heroes', Uchiha Yo quickly surveyed the area, searching for the location of the 'Icha Icha Paradise' shop.
"Here it is!" She quickly pulled out a book and went to the payment area.
She had just taken out her money to pay when the book was snatched from her hand.
"What the hell? Someone actually dares to snatch food from a tiger's mouth!" Uchiha Ye looked over sharply.
"There was a red line under each eye, long white hair tied up to her waist, and she wore a headband with the character 'oil' on it!"
Three words flashed through Uchiha Ye's mind: 'Jiraiya!'
You can't lose face, even if you lose the fight. "What do you mean by this? You actually stole something from someone else."
As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Ye tried to snatch the book back from Jiraiya's hand, but Jiraiya pulled him out of the 'Shueido' and threw the book back to its original position.
When Uchiha Ye used the 'Transformation Technique', he did not infuse any spiritual power, and he reverted to his original appearance.
The owner of 'Shueido' was dumbfounded, and Jiraiya's eyes were filled with guilt and remorse.
"I'll never be lazy again, she promises!" At this moment, Uchiha Ye felt a deeper understanding of this sentence.
"I guess I won't be able to buy 'Icha Icha Paradise' today. I'll have to wait until next time." Uchiha Ye glanced at the book with reluctance, then turned and ran away.
Jiraiya was taken aback, then quickly chased after him and grabbed him back.
"Senior, I'm not buying any of it, why are you still arresting me!"
"You wouldn't have taken a liking to me, would you?!" Uchiha Ye struggled to his feet, shamelessly saying.
Jiraiya glanced at it with a dark expression, "I'm not interested in a small tablet like yours!"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Ye's face instantly darkened. "Senior, I'm still young and haven't even started developing yet. Please don't jump to conclusions, okay?"
Jiraiya examined it carefully, his attention drawn to the flame mark on its forehead. He changed his mind and asked instead, "You... how did you get that mark on your forehead?"
Why should I tell you!
"Let me go right now, or you'll regret it!" Uchiha Ye threatened.
"I won't let it go unless you tell me."
"I'd like to know how you're going to make me look bad!" Jiraiya gripped his clothes even tighter.
"Help! Someone, a creepy uncle is molesting a young girl!" Uchiha Ye suddenly screamed, deliberately showing one shoulder to make herself look pitiful.
In an instant, everyone around him glared angrily at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya quickly released his grip, looking completely innocent, and said, "I didn't...it's all a misunderstanding..."
However, no one believed him, and he was immediately surrounded. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Uchiha Ye made a quick escape.
"From now on, I'll have to calculate my fortune every day before I go out!"
Uchiha Ye ran to a deserted alley, slightly out of breath, and muttered to himself.
She took a short break, treating it as a minor incident, and was just about to leave to continue her mission.
A tall figure loomed over her. "Found you."
"This ghost won't leave me alone!" Uchiha Ye sighed inwardly, his hands still forming hand seals as he used the 'Body Flicker Technique' to escape.
