Chapter 200 Too Smooth
Chapter 200 Too Smooth
"A demonic longevity!"
Uchiha Ha left the barbecue restaurant with a pounding heart, but one thing was certain: Itachi hadn't recognized her yet.
If they continue to get to know each other, given his meticulousness and intelligence, he'll inevitably be discovered. It's better to withdraw sooner rather than later, so that "she'll never crave barbecue again."
If possible, it would be best to have a match with someone who looks similar to her but isn't her, so that Itachi can completely give up on her.
Uchiha Ye didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly. He stayed in the town for one more night, but unexpectedly, a wandering ninja attacked the town that very night.
She controlled a woman who was running away from her and slightly modified her, which Itachi inadvertently saw.
In the shadows, Uchiha Ye noticed that Itachi's eyes widened slightly when he saw this person, and he even forgot to dodge the attack that was sneaking up on him from behind.
"clang..."
Without a second thought, Uchiha Ha blocked the attack, helping Itachi avert the crisis.
"Hey, what are you daydreaming about? That's dangerous."
She followed Itachi's gaze and said, "Hey, isn't that the person in your photo?"
"No, it's not her!" Itachi immediately recognized that this person was not Ye, even though they looked very similar and their figures were almost identical.
"How could that be? Doesn't it look a lot like it?" she asked in confusion, then added, "I really don't understand your thinking. Why don't you just go and ask?"
"No need, I won't mistake you." Itachi shook his head.
Uchiha Ye's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, "It really is Itachi. I can't even recognize her standing right in front of me. She was so smug before, saying she could recognize me no matter what I looked like. Thank goodness she didn't believe me..."
These wandering ninjas never expected that such a remote town would be home to so many samurai and ninjas. It was a classic case of "trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead." What awaited them now was either a life of permanent imprisonment or death.
Uchiha Ye felt a mischievous urge and said, "Hey, I see you're pretty good at fighting. Can we be friends?"
“My name is Li, the Li of leaving.” She stretched out her hand and looked at Itachi.
"Uchiha Itachi." Itachi introduced himself and shook hands with him.
"What? You're actually from the Uchiha clan? I never would have guessed. I met one before, and he was so arrogant, he was nothing like you." Uchiha Ye said incredulously.
These words immediately embarrassed Itachi, but he couldn't deny them, since what the other person said was true.
"Aren't you really going to go and ask?" Uchiha Ye asked, his eyes fixed on a certain spot.
"No need, I'm going back to Konoha."
“If she were still alive, given her love for the village, she would have returned long ago.” Uchiha Itachi temporarily set aside his obsession at this moment.
"Well, congratulations on your change of heart. I still need to go find my sister. I heard she joined an organization, and I wonder how she's doing now."
A hint of sadness flashed across Uchiha Ye's face when this was mentioned.
"She's not your biological sister, is she?" Itachi guessed.
"Yes." Uchiha Ye nodded without denying it. "To be precise, she is my fiancée. We were engaged when we were young and grew up together."
"But one year her family suffered a terrible misfortune, and I happened to be away from home. When I came back, she had already left."
"I know that with her personality, she would definitely go looking for revenge."
"It's been three years, and there's still no news of her. If I had been there back then, none of this would have happened."
Thinking of this, Uchiha Ha slammed her fist against the wall, looking regretful. She had almost been moved by the story she had made up.
When Itachi heard 'him' say that, he felt a sense of shared misfortune.
After a while, he said a comforting word, "You will find her."
"Thank you for your kind words. I just want to know if she's still alive. I dare not ask for anything else."
"Want to exchange contact information? I feel like we get along quite well," Uchiha Ye said casually, gazing at the slightly whitening sky.
"Alright, that's exactly what I was thinking!"
After exchanging contact addresses, Uchiha Ye immediately prepared to leave, but then withdrew his foot.
"Let's enjoy the sunrise together, it's a rare and beautiful sight," she invited.
“Indeed.” Itachi looked up at the sky, feeling a strange sense of peace in his heart.
After a period of time.
"I'm leaving." Uchiha Ye left these words behind, turning and departing without a second thought.
Itachi watched the figure until it disappeared from his sight before setting off on his way back to Konoha.
"The plan was a great success!" Uchiha Ye watched Itachi head back towards Konoha before changing direction and leaving, but she felt it had gone a little too smoothly.
Not long after she left, Itachi watched 'his' departing figure from a corner. He didn't understand why he had listened to this person so much, so he decided to go back to the village for the time being.
Even after leaving the town, Uchiha Ye was still thinking about the scene of his encounter with Itachi.
"Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore. I've already gotten through it safely."
"Where to go next?" Uchiha Ye stroked his chin, looking somewhat lost.
Suddenly she clapped her hands, "How about this, let's use the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic) to teleport randomly!"
Having found his direction, Uchiha Ye immediately used the Earth Escape Technique and disappeared from the spot.
She stopped after six attempts.
"Wait, it's not broad daylight, why is it so dark where she appeared!"
"Could it be that there's a time difference if it's transmitted too far?"
Uchiha Ye quickly noticed that this was a prison where people were being held. "My goodness, we've run into someone's lair."
"Who are you? Are you also locked up here?" A childish voice rang out behind her, startling her.
She swallowed hard and turned her head. "I wasn't locked up. I just wandered in by accident. I'll be leaving in a bit."
She couldn't make out the child's face clearly in the darkness, but felt she had seen him somewhere before. She immediately asked, "May I ask your name?"
After waiting for a long time without any response, she was just about to leave.
A childish voice rang out again, "Kimimaro!"
"Kimimaro... It's a pleasure to meet you..."
"Wait...he said his name is Kimimaro?"
"What a coincidence. Is she planning to follow in Orochimaru's footsteps and abduct all sorts of children?"
It took Uchiha Ye a while to recover. "I'm about to leave. Do you want to come with me?"
After a while, seeing that he didn't react, she was about to use her earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a technique for escaping) to leave when Kimimaro's voice rang out, "I'll go with you."
"Okay!" Uchiha Ye laughed, took his hand, and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Kimimaro, having spent so much time in the darkness, suddenly found himself standing in the sunlight, and his eyes involuntarily squinted.
At that moment, a shadow enveloped him completely.
"Are you alright?" Uchiha Ye asked with concern, holding up an umbrella.
Uchiha Ye took the opportunity to sized up Kimimaro, noting the two small red dots between his eyebrows, his white hair, his green eyes, and the red eyeshadow under his eyes—that was her immediate interpretation.
Kimimaro was indeed like a little girl when she was young. She finally couldn't resist pinching her skin. Her skin was so nice.
Kimimaro blushed shyly and withdrew her hand awkwardly. "Um... let me go buy you some clothes first, otherwise you'll think I'm mistreating you."
"By the way, my name is Li, the Li of leaving."
"Yes, you can call me Brother Li. From now on, we're family." She said to herself, and seeing that Kimimaro hadn't followed, she took a few steps back, grabbed his hand, and walked towards a nearby town.
Do you know what the meaning of life is?
"I don't know, but I do know that living can create a lot of meaning."
"..."
The two voices faded into the distance until they disappeared.
