Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 73: Jiraiya is driven away in anger.

"Is this the Uchiha clan's 'Body Flicker Technique'?" Jiraiya thought to himself as he looked at the person who had already disappeared.

"But that's underestimating him too much, thinking he can get away like that!"

Looking at Jiraiya who had appeared before her again, Uchiha Ye was speechless. "Senpai, it's just that I bought a book that minors can't buy. Is it really necessary to keep chasing after me like this? Besides, I didn't even manage to buy it!"

"Ah... since you know that minors can't buy these, why did you knowingly break the law?" Jiraiya felt increasingly guilty as he thought about a little girl who was obsessed with his 'Make-Out Paradise'. He had to stop her and guide her back to the right path.

She went to buy books with practiced ease, so she must have gone to buy them more than once. I bet she went to buy more right after he left.

The flame mark between this person's eyebrows is one of the prophecies made by the Toad Sage: "A person who can change the entire ninja world will appear. Although his face cannot be seen, we know that he has a flame mark between his eyebrows."

The person before him was very likely the one the Toad Sage had mentioned, and Jiraiya naturally didn't want to be affected by his book.

Uchiha Ye noticed that Jiraiya's eyes were getting increasingly strange, and taking advantage of Jiraiya's momentary daze, he turned and left, not wanting to stay for even a second longer.

"Ye, how's it going on your end? Any leads?" Itachi's voice came through the radio at that moment.

"Hmm? Yes...yes...I'm following it now, I'll talk to you later." Uchiha Ye pressed the button and responded.

"Yo... you're on a mission!" Jiraiya appeared in front of Uchiha Ha once again and said.

"Um, please don't disturb me, senior, and affect the mission progress!" She instantly became serious.

"Oh ho... I'm really curious to know who your Jonin instructor is, that he went out during a mission to buy books that aren't appropriate for someone your age." Jiraiya blocked his way again and said with a smile.

"Senior, now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to tell the truth."

"You'll understand my predicament then." Uchiha Ye clasped his hands together, his expression turning aggrieved.

When Jiraiya saw Uchiha Ha's appearance, his serious face softened instantly.

"Senior, have you ever heard of the legendary Sannin?" Uchiha Ye changed his appearance in the blink of an eye, observed his surroundings, and asked quietly.

"Of course I've heard of them. Does your mentor have any connection with them?" Jiraiya was shocked by the speed at which the little girl's expression changed, and it took him a while to finally ask.

"No, that's not it. Orochimaru is my teacher among them." Uchiha Ye's first sentence was fine, but the second sentence became arrogant.

"Is that so?" Jiraiya's expression twitched slightly.

"Senior, you don't believe I'm Orochimaru's disciple?" Uchiha Ye glared at him angrily.

"No, no, you continue, you continue!"

"Wait, I just want to know what this has to do with you buying this book." Jiraiya almost got sidetracked, so he quickly steered the conversation back to the main point.

Uchiha Ye clapped his hands together. "Senior, that's the key point."

"You must know the relationship between Orochimaru-sensei and Jiraiya-sama. This is Jiraiya-sama's masterpiece that Orochimaru-sensei was asked to appreciate."

"That's why Orochimaru-sensei arranged for me to buy this book." Uchiha Ye spoke with increasing conviction, as if the events described were exactly as she stated.

"How could this be? Orochimaru would never do something so pointless. Don't try to fool me." Jiraiya didn't believe Orochimaru would do such a thing.

"Senior, you're not Jiraiya-sama, why are you so agitated?" Uchiha Ye patted his chest, seemingly startled, and then continued, "Senior, although I understand that Orochimaru-sensei wouldn't be that kind of person, it's normal to change a bit after spending so much time with Jiraiya-sama."

"I've heard that Jiraiya-sama not only often goes to spy on others himself, but also takes Orochimaru-sensei with him."

As the saying goes, "One who stays near ink gets stained black, and one who stays near vermilion gets stained red!"

"Is that so!" Jiraiya replied with a dark expression, then added, "You seem to really admire your teacher."

"Of course, my teacher has Jiraiya under his feet and Tsunade in his arms. He's handsome and beautiful too." Uchiha Ye's eyes shone brighter as he spoke, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Can you please stop talking nonsense? How could Tsunade possibly be interested in someone like that!"

"And why wasn't it Jiraiya stepping on Orochimaru?" Jiraiya roared in anger upon hearing this.

"Senior, please don't get agitated. I have evidence for all of this."

"After all, Orochimaru-sensei has been a genius since childhood, while Jiraiya-sama is a complete failure!"

"Geniuses are always popular with girls, and if they're handsome, they're even more attractive."

"They just don't dare to go public because they have Jiraiya-sama by their side all the time, for fear of hurting Jiraiya-sama's feelings."

"Since childhood, Jiraiya has been in love with Tsunade. This unrequited love meant that they could only keep the news to themselves and express their feelings to each other through letters."

"Alas... pitiful, tragic, and lamentable!"

Uchiha Ye's ability to spout nonsense is getting better and better; she's almost starting to believe it herself.

The next second, Jiraiya flicked her on the head.

"It hurts so much..." Her face instantly turned pitiful, and her eyes filled with tears.

"Senior, didn't you tell me to say that? Why are you hitting people?" Uchiha Ye scratched his forehead, clearly dissatisfied.

"I told you to speak, but I didn't tell you to talk nonsense." Jiraiya said this and stormed off, having already forgotten his original intention.

"What? She's not talking nonsense. Can't I even make a guess?"

"What if that's really the case?"

Uchiha Ye muttered a few words to herself, unaware that after her conversation with Itachi, the radio hadn't been properly turned off, and the rest of their conversation was overheard by Orochimaru, Anko, and Itachi.

Red Bean secretly gave a thumbs up somewhere.

Itachi's eyes flashed with an unfathomable light. "Ye, do you like geniuses? And what books did you buy?"

Orochimaru gained a new understanding of his disciple's ability to spout nonsense.

This was the first time he had ever heard someone compliment him on his looks. "It feels pretty good, though it would be nice if the word 'handsome' could be removed."

"Meow..."

A cat's meow reminded Uchiha Ye that he still had a mission to complete.

Ten minutes later, she arrived at the meeting point carrying a cat.

The three of them glanced at her simultaneously, then took the cat and headed to the mission handover area.

"Itachi, has something happened?"

“Your eyes were really strange just now!” Uchiha Ye asked, tilting his head slightly.

No, no!

"Ye, let's hurry up, we've fallen behind!" Itachi's eyes flashed as he grabbed Uchiha Ye's hand and walked quickly forward.

"This guy's pulling is pretty smooth!" Uchiha Ye glanced at him and followed.

For the next month, I was either on my way to catch cats, walking dogs, weeding, or picking up trash in the river.

During this period, Uchiha Ye would use three shadow clones to train in ninjutsu every day. As for magic, she had already handed it over to two spirit clones, so she didn't need to worry about it.

When the team was on a mission, she would secretly practice her subtle control over chakra.

Our main strategy is to crush them.

It would have been even better if Orochimaru hadn't occasionally dragged me to the lab.

If he were to defect one day, it would definitely implicate her.

"Sigh...she won't talk nonsense anymore, really."
