Chapter 61 So Magical
Chapter 61 So Magical
Uchiha Ye didn't wake up until almost noon. She rubbed her head, saying, "Oh my god, my head hurts so much..."
"Ye, come and drink this hangover soup." Itachi Uchiha, who was standing by her side, picked up the hangover soup that was about to be placed there and handed it to her.
Uchiha Ye then recalled what had happened yesterday, but her memory only went as far as walking out of the bar and encountering Orochimaru-sensei with Itachi and Anko. She had no recollection of what happened after that.
At this moment, she felt extremely guilty. Seeing Orochimaru's gloomy face, she was afraid that he would drag her into the laboratory right now.
"How are we going to explain this?" Uchiha Ye absentmindedly took the hangover soup Itachi handed him and silently drank it.
Hongdou really wanted to ask Ye how he dared to be so audacious, but with the teacher beside her, she could only suppress the impulse in her heart.
Orochimaru, seeing that Uchiha Yotsuya had finished the hangover soup, said, "Pack your things and go back to Konoha."
"Huh, Orochimaru is being so easy to talk to? Is he holding back some kind of ultimate move?"
Uchiha Ye immediately considered the worst-case scenario, but there was no use in thinking about it further; he could only take it one step at a time.
It's a real shame that we've come all this way and haven't even had a chance to explore the area before having to go back so soon.
She got up to pack her things when a voice called out, "Ye, I've packed your things, let's go!"
"Ah... okay!" she replied after a moment's hesitation. Orochimaru had already left the room with Anko by then.
Seeing Itachi wearing a mask, Uchiha Ha couldn't help but ask, "Itachi, why are you wearing a mask?"
"Ah...it's hot today, I...I'm wearing sunscreen..." Itachi stammered out an excuse, feeling both relieved that Ye didn't remember what happened yesterday and incredibly disappointed.
"No way, Itachi has actually learned to lie?" Uchiha Ye looked out the window. "It's such a gloomy day, and you're talking about sun protection."
"As expected, the child has grown up and has his own secrets."
The hangover was truly unpleasant. As Uchiha Ye walked along the road, he silently circulated his internal energy around his meridians, and soon regained his strength.
It would be a long walk back to Konoha. She grew more and more tired as she walked, yawned, stopped, summoned her summoning beast, and lay down to sleep.
She didn't say a word the whole way, afraid of bringing up yesterday's events; it would be best if she could just gloss over it.
As she was thinking, she actually fell asleep. Hongdou wanted to come over and sit down, but when she saw Ye asleep, she was speechless. "Is this person an idiot? He's fallen asleep again after only a short while."
Red Bean wasn't about to give up. She jumped up and sat down, only to be sent back to the ground by Lazy.
"Wait, what does this mean?!"
Somewhat skeptical, she tried twice more and was still sent down.
"Ouch...it hurts..."
This time, the 'Lazy' swing was a bit too powerful, and Uchiha Yoh, who was sleeping on it, was also thrown out.
'Lazy' is no ordinary spirit beast. When it saw its master being thrown away, a human-like expression flashed across its face. Then, it disappeared in a puff of smoke and returned to a bamboo forest where it lived.
"No way, a summoning beast can do something so incredible!" Anko exclaimed in surprise. By the time she tried to catch Uchiha Yo, who had been sent flying, it was too late.
Fortunately, Orochimaru had sharp eyes and used a ninjutsu to send out a snake, which coiled back Uchiha Yoh, who was about to fall to the ground.
Seeing this, Itachi stopped forming hand seals to activate the 'Body Flicker Technique'.
Despite such a large movement, Uchiha Yo still did not wake up.
"Is the alcohol not completely worn off yet?" Orochimaru frowned, then resignedly picked up the person and carried them towards Konoha.
Three hours later, Uchiha Ye Youyou woke up.
"Oh my god, what's going on?!"
"How did she end up on Orochimaru's back? Is this game really that magical?" she wondered.
"He's awake!" Orochimaru's chilling voice rang out.
Uchiha Ye jumped off his back with a start, still wanting to maintain appearances, "Orochimaru-sensei, thank you for your hard work."
She said something with great gratitude on her face.
Orochimaru glanced at her and walked straight ahead.
"How long has she been asleep? How come we're almost at Konoha?" Uchiha Ye was a little confused.
During this journey, Orochimaru figured something out: he discovered that as long as this disciple was by his side, he was unusually calm, but once the person left him for a period of time, he returned to normal.
He glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and thought, "I really want to take him to the lab to study him."
Could it be related to the mark between her eyebrows?
"The flame mark is really an eyesore!"
"Why do I suddenly feel a bit cold?" Uchiha Ye hugged himself and shivered.
"Ye, are you alright?" Itachi asked with concern.
"It's nothing." She sneezed as soon as she finished speaking.
"This body is really sabotaging me!" She had just finished complaining in her mind when a new piece of clothing appeared on her body.
"Ye, don't catch a cold, and don't drink alcohol in the future unless I'm by your side."
"Have some water, Ye," Itachi Uchiha instructed, handing her a thermos.
She took the cup and, under Itachi's watchful gaze, took a small sip. "Is it still hot?"
A sense of guilt welled up in Uchiha Ye's heart, and he drank quite a bit more.
"Ye, don't drink so fast, it's overflowing." Itachi subconsciously reached out to wipe the water stains from the corner of Ye's mouth.
Only after touching his lips did he belatedly realize, "Oh no, will Ye think I'm a bit frivolous?"
He glanced furtively at Ye's expression, which seemed unchanged, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Uchiha Ye really didn't feel anything anymore; she had gotten used to Uchiha Itachi's concern. But what did Itachi mean by what he said earlier?
She thought for a moment and then asked, "Itachi, I didn't go on a drunken rampage yesterday, did I?"
At the mention of last night, Itachi's face instantly flushed red, but fortunately he was wearing a mask so no one could tell. "No, Ye, you drank alcohol and slept very soundly."
Uchiha Itachi never expected that he would use all his lies on Ye.
"Really? Looks like I'm not bad at drinking." Uchiha Ye immediately praised himself, never expecting Itachi to lie about this.
Upon hearing this, Itachi's lips twitched slightly, and after a long pause, he finally spoke, "Ye, have you forgotten the three forbidden ninja techniques?"
"You ate all three last night!" After saying this, Itachi's expression suddenly turned serious.
"Uh...this was definitely an accident. I didn't want it to happen either. Maybe I was being controlled at the time," Uchiha Ye said helplessly.
"Ye, whatever you want to do in the future, you must have me by your side, okay?" Itachi knew he couldn't stop Ye from doing anything, but at least he wanted to be by Ye's side.
If it hadn't been him taking care of Ye last night, what if the same thing had happened to someone else...?
"Don't overthink it, since it hasn't happened yet."
Meeting Itachi's dark eyes, Uchiha Ye's heart inexplicably raced faster. He initially wanted to refuse, but changed his words, saying, "Okay, I agree."
Uchiha Itachi thought he would be rejected, but he was surprised by the completely different answer. He was stunned for a moment, but was quickly filled with joy. He grabbed Ye's hand and grinned foolishly.
She glanced down at her hand that was being pulled. "Is Itachi being so proactive now?"
"Is this still the Itachi from the anime she watches?" Uchiha Ye was full of doubts. "Perhaps there are differences between the game and the anime?"
Despite her thoughts, she still spoke up to remind them, "Itachi, it's time to go. The teacher and the others have already gone far away."
"Okay." Itachi didn't let go of Ye's hand, and led her forward.
Uchiha Ye was conflicted, but in the end he gave up trying to break free from Itachi's hand and let him hold it. "Actually, it's nothing. It's just a game, as long as we have fun."
