Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 58 Playing

Watching the two beasts disappear into the distance, Hongdou couldn't help but ask, "What are they doing?"

"He went to do a good deed."

"Let's go watch the show." Uchiha Ye Yanran smiled and left first.

"That smile is so unfair, even a woman like her is falling for him." Hongdou shook her head and sighed inwardly before chasing after him.

Although Itachi didn't show any expression on his face, he was thinking about how to make Ye go unnoticed.

"Uchiha Ye, you actually let these two ferocious beasts attack people."

The three of them stood on a big tree, looking at the pastoral village not far away. Seeing this, Hongdou frowned and asked in confusion.

"Sister Hongdou, just watch and see, don't rush."

"Come on, let's eat and watch at the same time."

Uchiha Ye's eyes lit up. He took out a lot of food from his bag, sat on the tree trunk and started eating. "You really have to eat something to be considered a true bystander."

"You two are still standing there like idiots. Sit down and eat something with us."

"Ye, you're really bold!" Hongdou said, but she listened to Uchiha Ye and sat down to eat.

Itachi didn't seem to mind at all, looking at Ye with a doting expression and occasionally handing her water.

If you ask why, I can only say that he has gotten used to it. He's used to Ye being by his side, used to taking care of Ye, used to only seeing Ye in his eyes, and he looks so happy doing it.

One night passed.

"Ye, how did you figure out that there's something wrong with this village chief?"

"I never imagined this person had been deceiving the villagers for years!"

"If you hadn't directed those two tigers to destroy his house and expose the items, the villagers would probably still be in the dark."

"No wonder you said at the beginning that you would have to pay more to kill that tiger. That old man has so much grain in the village, but he wouldn't even spend the money from selling it to give out a D-level mission."

"I've heard that the grain here is very famous and the price is particularly high!"

"It's a pity we haven't found out where the money went!"

"Ye, should we go and help the villagers of Tianyuan Village get their money back?" Hongdou rambled on for a while before suggesting.

“He gambled it away and couldn’t find it,” Uchiha Ye said calmly.

"Bet it all!"

"What do you mean?!"

"Ye, explain yourself clearly!" Anko pressed Uchiha Ye, asking.

Itachi Uchiha also looked puzzled; he had only noticed that the village chief had some issues.

“I’ll take you somewhere, and you’ll understand. It’s hard to explain in words.”

Uchiha Ye took out a map and pointed to a location. As for the pastoral village, she had actually left some money for each household, enough for them to last until the harvest season.

“Ye, I suspect you’re just going there for fun, but I have no proof.” Anko glanced at the location Uchiha Ye was pointing to. “This isn’t Kuwana, the capital of the Land of Fire.”

"Sister Hongdou, I'll cover all the expenses. Are you going or not?" Uchiha Ye said with a shrug.

"You said it yourself, so let's go right now." Upon hearing this, Hongdou's earlier reluctance vanished, and she hurried off, afraid that Uchiha Ye might change his mind.

Uchiha Ye shook his head and chuckled, then turned to look at the person beside him, "Itachi, let's go."

"Uh, why is she holding out her hand?" She was puzzled by this unconscious action and was about to pull her hand back when Itachi's hand was already on hers.

"Ye's hands are so small and soft..." Itachi Uchiha was a little excited at this moment, and he held her hand even tighter, afraid that Ye would break free.

"Oh no, it seems like she's creating trouble for herself."

"Itachi is really something, why is he so nice to her?"

"I'm so troubled!"

"No, no, there are many couples in the Naruto world who started out very close but ended up not together. She will definitely not be the exception."

"Itachi is only seven years old. No matter how precocious he is, what could he possibly understand!"

With this thought, Uchiha Ye suddenly understood, "They're just childhood friends and teammates, it's normal to be a little close."

"Hmm...that's normal!"

The capital of the country is Sanming.

People were coming and going, and the three of them stopped at one place.

"Ye, why did you bring us to the casino entrance?" Hongdou asked, her face full of confusion.

At that moment, a commotion arose at the entrance of the casino.

“Sister Hongdou, take a good look at the person who got beaten up and see how he’s different from the village chief of Tianyuan Village.”

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Anko and Itachi turned their gazes to the person.

"This must be the gambler the elders were talking about!" Itachi guessed.

After observing carefully, Hongdouzi realized that the old man in Tianyuan Village was indeed like that.

"Itachi, you're right, this is one of the three forbidden ninja techniques." Uchiha Ye clapped his hands and called out, "Stop looking, Anko-nee, let's go get a big meal!"

Seafood restaurant.

Uchiha Hatake's eyes lit up as he looked at the seafood feast in front of him. "Wow, it looks delicious!"

"I'm starting!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands together as she happily began to eat.

"This feast isn't as good as glutinous rice balls!" Red Bean mumbled, his mouth full of food.

"This guy eats more than anyone else, how can he have the nerve to say that?" Uchiha Ye glanced at Anko speechlessly, then focused on eating.

"Ye seems to be eating more than before!" Itachi quickly noticed this and put the freshly peeled shrimp into Ye's bowl.

He was very curious about where Ye's money came from. This meal was going to cost a lot. They had just started carrying out the mission and hadn't even received their commission yet. The monthly pension from their family alone couldn't support them.

"No, it's not enough at all!"

Ye didn't seem to want to mention this to him, and he didn't feel comfortable asking.

"Itachi, you should eat more yourself. You don't need to take care of me," Uchiha Ye said helplessly, looking at the shrimp in his bowl.

"Mm." Itachi Uchiha agreed verbally, but his actions remained unchanged.

"That idiot!" she thought to herself, recalling how Itachi had put more food in his bowl earlier.

"Take care of others, but don't forget yourself, Itachi," Uchiha Ye said with a serious and concerned expression.

"Ye, you are not just anyone..." Itachi didn't finish his sentence.

"Itachi is doing this on purpose, isn't he? He's teasing her all day long!" Uchiha Ye thought to himself, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Hongdou was already used to the interaction between the two. If they didn't get along like this every day, the sun would probably rise in the west.

Both of them are so good-looking, they're quite pleasing to the eye.

"If only the team had four people!" Hongdou thought to herself with a sigh.

Looking up, I saw Itachi peeling a bowl of crab meat for Uchiha Hato. A pang of jealousy rose in my heart, and my stomach, which was originally quite hungry, started to feel bloated.

"Orochimaru-sensei, please come find us quickly, it's too hard for me to be alone."
