Chapter 243 Unable to Sit Still
Chapter 243 Unable to Sit Still
I really can't figure out why Kimimaro always manages to spot her when she comes.
Ye Li composed himself and asked, "Kimimaro, is there anything wrong with your body?"
"I'm alright now, Sister Ye!"
"Sister Ye, can you stay tonight?" Kimimaro's eyes were full of expectation.
Ye Li couldn't resist Kimimaro's gaze at all and agreed immediately.
As for Konoha, it's normal for them to be away from home during a month-long vacation, so there's absolutely no question of them escaping.
This wasn't the first time Ye Li had put a child to sleep, and sure enough, she ended up falling asleep herself first while trying to soothe the child.
Kimimaro seemed to have anticipated this, and only then did he dare to reach out and stroke Ye Li's face. "Sister Ye, I wish you could stay by my side forever."
He lingered in the warmth of the moment, carefully holding Ye Li's hand, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
When Ye Li woke up, the first thing she saw was a stunningly beautiful face.
Curious, she reached out and rubbed the two red spots on Kimimaro's face. "They really won't come off!"
Seeing Kimimaro frown, she quickly withdrew her hand, as waking someone up was very unethical.
Ye Li got up, went to his desk, left a note, and disappeared from the room.
After she left, Kimimaro opened his eyes with a disappointed look. He wished he were older, then Sister Ye wouldn't treat him like a child.
Back in Konoha, Ye Li was about to have breakfast when he opened the door and saw Itachi waiting at the door.
"Is it too late to close now?" In the end, she didn't do that.
Just as Ye Li was about to speak, Itachi spoke up first, inviting, "Ye, let's have breakfast together!"
She wanted to refuse, but she had only returned to Konoha because of Itachi. They would run into each other all the time, so having breakfast together shouldn't be a problem.
Seeing her nod, a hint of joy flashed deep in Itachi's eyes.
The two walked together down the street and came to a breakfast shop. It was such a coincidence, she thought, "I'm really impressed."
Kakashi saw Ye Li walking with Itachi and was puzzled. He asked, "Is it alright for them to sit together?"
Before they could even respond to his question, Kakashi simply sat down on his own.
Kakashi and Itachi exchanged glances, and it seemed that he understood something. He would go to Kirigakure tomorrow to find out everything.
At this moment, Ye Li just wanted to minimize his presence.
"Are you sure she's not redundant?" Gaming career is tough.
Hi...you're all here!
At that moment, Shisui walked in and sat down in the only empty chair.
She returned to Konoha, and Shisui naturally knew.
When Ye Li saw Zhi Shui, it was as if he had seen a savior. "Finally, this awkward situation is over."
After breakfast was served, she found herself in an awkward situation once again.
Looking at the layers upon layers of food, Ye Li could only chuckle twice.
"She's not a pig!"
She looked around and her eyes lit up. She started a conversation, "Brother Zhishui, your weapon looks really high-quality. Can I take a look?"
Shisui paused for a moment, nodded, and handed over the knife that was on the table.
Ye Li took the knife and examined it closely. Then, with a gossipy look on his face, he asked, "Brother Zhishui, did a girl give you this knife?"
Upon hearing this, Itachi and Kakashi both looked at Uchiha Shisui with curiosity. After knowing him for so long, how come they hadn't noticed that Shisui had someone he liked?
Zhi Shui nodded blankly for a moment. Even though he already knew that Hua Ling might be a part of Ye, he still asked curiously, "Ye, how did you figure that out?"
"Oh, I just saw a small flower on the scabbard and guessed it." Ye Li returned the sword and then said, "Brother Zhishui, do you not know the meaning of this flower?"
Besides Shisui, even Itachi and Kakashi listened attentively.
"Gossip is indeed human nature..."
She coughed lightly, "Brother Zhishui, this is your private matter. How about I explain it to you privately?"
"Ye, it's alright, go ahead and say it!" Zhishui said calmly.
“Then I’ll tell you!” Ye Li twitched the corner of his mouth and continued, “The meaning of this flower is ‘I give you jasmine, wishing you will never leave me.’”
Upon hearing this, Shisui stood up immediately and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the three of them looked on with curiosity about who Shisui liked, and this situation seemed very strange.
With Shisui gone, Ye Li's expression turned awkward again. Fortunately, Kakashi finished his breakfast and left shortly after, which relieved her, and she looked at Itachi.
Seeing that Ye hadn't eaten anything for a long time, Itachi stood up, came to her side, and took her small hand. "Ye, I'll take you home first."
Wait, what does this mean? She clearly didn't accept Itachi's confession, so why is she being so overly familiar?
She tried to break free but was held tightly, and eventually gave up.
When she heard that Itachi lived next door, she was completely distraught.
The guy's intentions were obvious, and Ye Li pinched the soft flesh on his waist in annoyance.
Instead of being unhappy, Itachi looked at Ye Li with a doting expression, letting him do whatever he wanted, which made Ye Li even angrier. "Damn it!"
She slammed the door shut in anger, and Itachi stood there for a while before leaving, his face full of happy smiles.
This can't go on, so Ye Li decided to leave for a while and then come back.
She had a gut feeling that she needed to complete the task of capturing the tailed beasts as soon as possible.
Previously, she would only take half away, because if half wasn't enough, she would have to take it all over again.
After leaving a note at his residence, Ye Li used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at Cloud Hidden Village.
Chu Yi was relieved to finally find the location of the Jinchūriki.
The Hokage's office.
As soon as Shisui entered, before he could even speak, Minato Namikaze spoke up first, "Shisui, you've come at the right time. The daimyo's wedding is in three days. Go to the wedding in my place."
"A wedding?" Zhishui took the invitation blankly, his eyes filled with disbelief. "What's going on?"
He gripped the knife in his hand, his face filled with bitterness.
"No, he wants to get to the bottom of this in person." At this moment, he could no longer sit still.
Uchiha Shisui left in a hurry, heading straight for the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Fire without packing anything.
Inside the empty cave, a giant golem had a person standing on each of its ten fingers, except for the right ring finger which was empty.
"Boss, what kind of meeting is this time?!" Deidara couldn't help but ask first.
He looked around and asked in confusion, "Where's Lone Star?"
In the past, when he spoke, Lone Star would always agree with him, but now that he suddenly doesn't, it feels a bit strange.
Even though Gu Xing has a bit of Qing Rou in him, his personality isn't as good as Qing Rou's. He still likes Qing Rou the most.
"She has left the Akatsuki!" Pain replied coldly.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Except for Jue, everyone else looked incredulous.
“Shouldn’t we get rid of this traitor?” Black Zetsu suggested, then continued, “She’s in the Land of Fire right now, about to marry the daimyo of the Land of Fire.”
"Whoever is near the Land of Fire, please make a trip there."
Black Zetsu had been putting up with this woman for a long time. Although he was now more inclined to cooperate with Uchiha Yoru, it didn't stop him from wanting to kill her.
If Uchiha Yoh had failed to rescue his mother, he would still have Nagato to continue his plan to save her. This woman was a thorn in his side and could not be allowed to live.
The Akatsuki members had just finished cooperating with Obito and were mostly still within the Land of Fire. They didn't want to do Black Zetsu's proposal.
"Kill Lone Star? What a joke!"
Lone Star is the only bright spot in the dull Akatsuki organization, and she often gives them valuable little trinkets. Why would they hurt her?
Only someone as inhuman as Black Zetsu would despise her.
Upon hearing this news, Nagato, who controlled Pain, tensed up, clenched his fist, and after a long while spoke, "I will handle her matter personally. That's all for today. Meeting adjourned."
What's wrong with this woman? She didn't marry her fiancé.
He clearly remembered that the daimyo of the Land of Fire had proposed to her once before.
"Have they been in contact all along?"
The thought of this possibility made Nagato's face turn very sour.
Konan, watching Nagato's ever-changing expression, advised, "Since you're so worried about her, go find her quickly, or you'll regret it."
"I have no relationship with her, so what is there to regret? As a former member of Akatsuki, it's only right that I, as the leader, send her a big gift." Nagato said this insincerely to defend himself, as if he was trying to come up with a good excuse for seeking her out.
After saying this, he left in a hurry.
Xiao Nan shook her head helplessly. Lonely Star had been away recently, and Changmen kept staring blankly at a photo. Every time Xiao Nan came over, she would quickly put it away, as if Changmen really didn't know about it.
