Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 199 Encounter

"It's another beautiful day!"

Seeing the beautiful weather outside, Uchiha Ha decided to go out for a walk.

Just as she was about to close the window, she seemed to catch something out of the corner of her eye and exclaimed in surprise, "Itachi, what are you doing here!"

Realizing what was happening, she immediately covered her mouth. When she saw Itachi looking in her direction, she quickly hid behind the window.

This situation led Uchiha Yoru to decide to travel as a man, since as long as she didn't change back, no one could see through her disguise.

A short while later, a young man appeared in the room. He had short, neat hair, an earring in his left ear, a simple black loose-fitting short-sleeved shirt, black cargo pants, and sneakers.

She looked at herself in the mirror, relaxed and slightly cool, and Uchiha Ye nodded in satisfaction.

After checking out of the room, the hotel owner looked puzzled. The previous guest in this room wasn't a young girl, so how did it become a man? "Could it be that he's old and has a bad memory?"

Uchiha Yo left under the hotel owner's questioning gaze.

"So much time has passed, Itachi should have left this town by now!" she thought as she walked, then stopped and went inside the barbecue restaurant.

"This barbecue restaurant is really popular. I wonder if there are any seats left!"

Uchiha Ye looked around and finally found an empty table in a corner. "Could this be considered that she snagged the last table? It will definitely taste even better when we eat here."

She called over a waiter and ordered only twenty portions of the most expensive premium Wagyu beef, plus a grilling service, which was why she came into this barbecue restaurant.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind, "Excuse me, can we share a table?"

"That voice sounds like Itachi, what a coincidence!" Uchiha Ye's expression cracked slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and turned his head.

"Damn, it really is Itachi!" Fortunately, she had managed to control her expression beforehand, and nodded calmly, "Okay."

No... she should have refused. She must have been fooled by his face just now. She can only take it one step at a time.

"Thank you!" Itachi said gratefully and sat down opposite Uchiha Hato.

Fortunately, Itachi didn't seem inclined to talk to her, which relieved Uchiha Yexin slightly.

After a while, all the meat she ordered was served, piled up in layers.

"Sir, it's crowded right now, so the grilling service will have to wait a bit." The waiter left after saying this, and Uchiha Ye instantly felt exhausted and disheartened.

She quickly recovered and was about to take out a book to pass the time when Uchiha Itachi, sitting opposite her, spoke up, "Need any help?"

"Ah!" She looked up in surprise, then declined to speak, "No need, I'll be done in a bit."

“Then you’ll have to wait at least another hour,” Itachi said, his expression seemingly genuine.

"It shouldn't be that bad!" Uchiha Ye frowned instantly. What was the point of her eating that?

"My grilling skills are pretty good, you can try some!" Itachi picked up the meat he had ordered and started grilling it.

A short while later, he picked up a piece of grilled meat and put it on Uchiha Ye's plate.

"Could Itachi have recognized her?" Uchiha Ye stared at the piece of meat on the plate, her thoughts in a bit of a mess. In the end, she picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece, and put it in her mouth.

It still tastes the same as before, but it seems to be even tastier than before.

"It's really great!" she praised without reservation, then added, "I'll pay you later; I'm not used to accepting help from others."

“Okay!” Itachi readily agreed.

Uchiha Ye, who was waiting to be devoured, felt a little embarrassed, so he started to ask, "Judging from your headband, you're a Konoha ninja, right? Are you here on a mission?"

"No, I'm looking for someone, someone very important." Itachi paused for a moment before replying.

"Oh...do you have any photos?"

"Perhaps I've seen him before?" Uchiha Ye suddenly became interested.

The moment she took the photo, her interest vanished. "Isn't that her in the photo? I thought I was going to dig up a big juicy story."

"And this photo was probably taken by Itachi without my permission!"

She looked at it for a while, then handed it back, saying, "The girl in the photo is very pretty, but I'm sorry I've never seen her before."

Uchiha Ye thought to himself, "What does Itachi want with her? Is he thinking of two-timing me?"

Upon hearing this, Itachi's face flashed with disappointment, but he quickly rallied his spirits.

"May I ask what you wanted to see her for?" Uchiha Ye noticed his disappointed expression and asked.

This question stumped Itachi. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "I don't know either, but I just want to find her, but I always miss her."

Uchiha Ye was filled with questions. "Is that so? How come she didn't know?"

"Could it be during the time I was blind?!" This was the only possibility that Uchiha Ye could think of.

She pursed her lips and managed a comforting remark, "Is it possible that she's avoiding me?"

This statement doesn't sound like a word of comfort; rather, it's quite hurtful.

"Avoiding them!" Itachi suddenly seemed to lose his soul, frozen in shock.

Seeing Itachi like this, Uchiha Ye quickly comforted him, "Don't look like that. I was just saying one possibility. Another possibility is that she hasn't figured out how to face you yet, which is why she's not seeing you."

"You can think about whether there's some misunderstanding between you two."

"Is that so?" Uchiha Yexin breathed a sigh of relief when a glimmer of light returned to Itachi's eyes.

"Actually, there's something else. I'm not sure if she's still alive, or if that person was really her. I only know about her from other people; I didn't see her with my own eyes," Itachi suddenly blurted out.

"Ah!" Uchiha Ye exclaimed in surprise, but inwardly she gave herself a thumbs up, thinking about how she had been wearing a mask when she went out during the time she was blind.

That's what she thought, but after hearing it, her heart ached.

No, why should she feel sorry for him? So what if he's a little more handsome? Damn it... She won't fall for it.

After calming down, Uchiha Ye said calmly, "There are many similar people in the world, but from what you said, if she were still alive, she would definitely not refuse to see you unless something happened to her. It seems that the information you received may be from someone else."

"This is impossible. My gut feeling tells me she's still alive. I will find her." Itachi suddenly became agitated. He simply couldn't believe that Ye was gone.

"Although I really want to tell you to 'accept reality,' I still wish you good luck since we met. I hope it's not what I think."

"Also, thank you for helping me grill the meat. I'll leave the payment for grilling it on the table for you. I'll be going now."

After saying those two sentences, Uchiha Ha left the barbecue restaurant without looking back.

Watching 'him' leave, Itachi felt a sudden sense of loss.

He didn't understand how he could tell these things to a stranger.

Perhaps this is what Zhishui Ge meant by "love at first sight"?

He recalled how, upon first seeing him, he couldn't help but want to get closer to him, and he did indeed do so.

There was an empty table in the store at the time, but he wanted to get closer to him, which is why they shared the table.

Helping with the grilling was also part of his plan; he simply used a little illusion to make the waiter say those words.

Looking back now, Itachi feels quite inexplicable.

If it weren't for the huge difference between 'his' eyes and Ye's, he would have subconsciously thought it was Ye.
