Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 146 Overtime

Yamato lay on the ground, looking up at the two arguing above him, a look of heartache on his face. "Why is it always him who gets hurt!"

"Yamato, do your best!" Uchiha Ye shouted, waving her fist. It was impossible to tell that she had accidentally punched Yamato.

"Itachi, do you think Yamato can win?" She turned to Itachi beside her and asked, having already forgotten about their earlier argument.

"It's hard to say, Yamato doesn't seem to be planning to use Wood Release," Itachi guessed.

"Ah, it's over!" Uchiha Ye turned to look down at Yamato, who was about to start the fight. "Yamato, my life is in your hands. You can't lose!"

She was about to say something while holding onto the railing when Itachi pulled her away, saying, "Ye, you're affecting the match!"

"And when did you sneak off to place bets again?"

"Well..." Her eyes flickered, and she hesitated, then remained silent. "I really don't understand how she's so completely under Itachi's thumb now."

"Itachi, you have confidence in yourself, right?" Uchiha Ye asked, changing the subject.

Itachi sighed, "Is this also your life and fortune?"

"No, no... I only did this because I trust you." She quickly shook her head.

"Is that so?" Itachi stared at her intently, his fingers subtly wrapping around her hand, their fingers intertwined.

"They're getting harder and harder to fool," Uchiha Ye lamented inwardly.

She noticed that Itachi's personality had changed a lot; his shy and reserved nature seemed to be almost gone, not to mention his gloomy demeanor in the story.

Although Yamato didn't use Wood Release, he still lived up to expectations and won the match.

Lone Star faced off against young Payne, but she conceded defeat a step later than Payne, which annoyed her for quite some time.

"I let you win, why are you still angry?" Young Payne's eyes were full of confusion, but he still hurriedly caught up with the angry Lone Star and tried to coax him.

Darui faces Deidara, and Uchiha Yoru predicts that Deidara will lose.

Moreover, Darui is hiding his strength, and Deidara is still young and not that strong.

Just as she had guessed, Deidara lost the match.

Deidara had wanted to show Uchiha Yoru his strength, but he unexpectedly lost, leaving him completely dejected.

"Deidara, are you alright?!"

“Actually, you’re already very good. I’ll tell you a secret…” Uchiha Ye decisively exposed Darui’s true abilities.

Deidara wasn't afraid of losing, he just didn't want to lose in front of her. Being able to be close to her again had already improved his mood.

As expected, Uchiha Hato obtained another lump of clay from Deidara and watched him leave.

Itachi was the last to compete. He stood on the field and looked up, but he couldn't see Ye. He immediately felt a little bad.

Uchiha Ye put away the clay and hurried to the fence to cheer Itachi on.

Itachi's mood instantly brightened, but this scene was an eyesore to many.

When the audience saw the Uchiha clan members enter the arena, they erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

"I should have known she was wearing clothes with the Uchiha clan crest too."

Itachi is facing off against Utakata, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki. Although Itachi has already begun to use his Mangekyou Sharingan, he cannot use it, so the outcome is uncertain.

Uchiha Ye was quickly slapped in the face by reality: "This is a complete stomp!"

She instantly realized that Yu Gao was still young and it was impossible for him to use the power of the tailed beast to reveal that he was a jinchūriki.

Uchiha Ye thought he could head back to Konoha after today's match, but when he heard there was a third overtime match, he was devastated. "Please, please don't let her face Lone Star!"

The extra match was entirely Hua Ling's doing. She suddenly wanted to know who was stronger, Gu Xing or the original body, and specifically instructed that the two must face off. She paid some money for this, and now the last thing she lacks is money.

"By the way, the winner of the third overtime match will each receive three million taels of silver."

"What!" Many famous figures sitting around Hua Ling looked over.

"Don't look at me like that, I'll pay for it myself." She said nonchalantly, as if she were talking about something insignificant.

It's blatant flaunting of wealth, but they can't say anything about it because they're still hoping the Daimyo of the Land of Fire can help their country.

The other four major powers remained silent, after all, they had just sent ninjas to assassinate him not long ago, and the attempt had failed.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire glanced at them from time to time, seemingly aware of what they were doing. "Sigh!"

"It's interesting how these people change their tune, but it's also time for them to infiltrate other countries and do some small business."

Hua Ling discovered that the game world didn't pay much attention to the economy, which gave her an opportunity.

The only thing we lack now is talent from all walks of life. Besides speeding up the school's construction, we also need to draft a charter to recruit some talent. "It's a long and arduous task!"

She couldn't help but sigh, and immediately noticed that all eyes were on her.

"Alright, she's a big shot now, so she really can't show her true feelings in public."

In an instant, Hua Ling's eyes turned fierce, and her temperament changed drastically, making people afraid to meet her gaze and avoid looking at her.

She stood up, looked around with a half-smile, and said, "See you in three days, everyone."

Only after everyone left did the daimyo of the other countries relax.

How could someone who is clearly the youngest daimyo in the group possess such a terrifying aura?

"How was Shisui? Wasn't I amazing just now?" With no one around, she relaxed and waited for praise.

A long time passed, but Shisui did not respond; he simply followed silently beside her.

Perhaps accustomed to this state of stillness, she didn't speak again on the way back to her residence.

"Why do I suddenly feel so weak?" Hua Ling stopped and gazed blankly into the distance through the window.

"Daiming, what's wrong?" Shisui, who was standing to the side, noticed that Hualing seemed to be in an abnormal state, filled with loneliness, which made him feel very sad, so he couldn't help but ask.

After a long while, Shisui finally received a response.

"It's nothing, I just have a slight understanding of the meaning of the saying 'the higher you climb, the colder it gets.'"

"I need to rest, you can leave now!" She turned around and walked towards the rest room without even glancing at Zhishui.

"Your name..." Shisui called softly from behind, followed by a 'bang' as the door slammed shut. He didn't leave, silently waiting at the door.
