Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 256 In the Open

Chapter 256 In the Open

"I've been a ghost for ten years..."

Not long after Ye Li started speaking, the initially noisy chatter gradually subsided, and eventually only her voice could be heard in the classroom, as everyone seemed to be listening attentively.

Time passed slowly, and her story was nearing its end.

......

He thought that the cruelest thing was that she didn't love him...

...In a world without her, every minute and every second feels long and unbearable.

Ye Li finished telling the story.

Soon, she heard many sobs and immediately comforted them, "Don't be sad, everyone. This is just a story. Just imagine they are together in another world."

Her attempt to comfort him only brought on even louder crying. Ye Li scratched his head, at a loss for what to do.

Naruto was the one crying the most. He wiped away his tears and asked, "Teacher Ye, they're so pitiful!"

"Um...it's just a story, don't take it too seriously." Ye Li rubbed Naruto's head.

"Teacher Ye, do you believe in love?" Sakura Haruno asked, sobbing.

"I...I believe it!"

"Meeting Itachi was definitely the luckiest thing that ever happened to her." She added the last sentence in her mind. Just then, the bell rang, and she stood up. "Okay, don't be sad. It's just a story. School's over. Everyone, go home early."

After saying that, she took the lead and left the classroom.

"Itachi is coming back today, I really want to see him!"

Ye Li hurried away, her mind filled with Itachi's image. Little did she know that Itachi had already returned, and the first thing he did upon his return was to see her, though he simply didn't show himself.

He happened to have witnessed everything that happened that afternoon, so he naturally heard Ye's story and what he said.

He absolutely will not let this story happen to them.

Seeing Ye leave the classroom, he also disappeared from the spot.

As Ye Li got closer to home, his pace slowed down.

When she returned home, there was no sign of anyone; she knew Itachi hadn't come back yet.

"Something's not right. When did she develop this anxious and insecure mindset? It really shouldn't be like this!"

She decided that she would start cultivating diligently tomorrow. Cultivation would keep her from having time to think nonsense. Before that, she needed to go to the office to report her mission.

Ye Li had just left home to go to the Hokage's office when he saw Itachi walking towards him.

She instantly forgot what she had just said, ran over and hugged him, "Itachi, I missed you so much."

Uchiha Itachi's heart skipped a beat, and he froze on the spot. It took him a while to come to his senses before he wrapped his arms around Ye's waist and hugged her tightly.

During the two days he was away on the mission, he couldn't stop thinking about her. He was afraid that Ye would disappear again when he returned, and this feeling made him rush back ahead of time.

Wearing his Anbu uniform, he felt it wouldn't be appropriate to wait for her at the Ninja Academy entrance. He thought Ye would go to submit her mission report first, so he went back to the Anbu to change his clothes and then try to bump into her. However, Ye didn't come to the Hokage Building at all, so he rushed back. On the way, he saw a clothing store and inexplicably bought a white shirt.

"Hmm... He definitely wasn't jealous of the regretful look in Ye's eyes when Naruto used the 'Sexy Jutsu' before."

Ye Li suddenly remembered that they were still on the street, and quickly let go of Itachi, lowering her head shyly, "Let's...let's go home first!"

The speed was too fast; before Itachi could react, Ye Li had already run home and closed the door.

The corners of Itachi's mouth turned up in a wild grin as he quickened his pace toward home.

Mizuki, watching from the shadows, gritted his teeth, his anger surging.

He was recently transferred out of the teaching department, and his first suspect was Uchiha Itachi, who used his power to do so, which made him even more eager for revenge.

Just wait, he will definitely find an opportunity.

Little did he know that his sudden transfer was orchestrated by Shikamaru, who simply didn't want him to continue harassing Teacher Ye at school.

Nara Shikaku initially wanted to refuse, but upon hearing that the person Mizuki was harassing was Ye Li, he immediately agreed, fearing that Ye Li would beat the man to death.

"Ye, dinner's ready." Itachi called out as he lifted the curtain.

"You're here." Ye Li rubbed her face, calming herself down before walking over.

Upon seeing Itachi's attire, her nose instantly felt itchy, and she quickly looked away.

Why is Itachi suddenly wearing a white shirt, and he didn't even button up the top two buttons? Isn't this just inviting people to commit crimes?

But Itachi has such a great figure!

Ye Li's face flushed slightly at the thought.

"Ye Li, you must be reserved and not be easily swayed."

She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Itachi again, for fear that her hand would disobey her.

Sitting at the dining table, she picked up the tea that had been poured and took a sip to mask her inner turmoil.

"Ye, try my new dish." Itachi sat down next to Ye and whispered to her.

"Ah...okay." Ye Li paused noticeably for a moment before putting the teacup back on the table.

Just as she picked up her chopsticks, the teacup next to her suddenly flew out and spilled all over Itachi.

"What happened? Did she bump into it accidentally?"

Ye Li was puzzled for a moment, then quickly put down his chopsticks, grabbed a tissue from the table, and wiped the wet spots off Itachi.

As she wiped, her face grew increasingly red. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Itachi grabbed her small hand and placed it on his chest muscle, leaning down to ask in her ear, "Ye, do you like it?"

"I like it!" Ye Li was completely tempted by the beauty and blurted out unconsciously.

"Then you'll only watch my watch from now on, okay..." Itachi tempted again.

"Okay!" Ye Li replied blankly.

While it seemed that Itachi Uchiha was seducing Ye Li, he was actually deeply attracted by Ye Li's current shy appearance.

His throat bobbed involuntarily, and he lowered his eyes to hide the burning desire within them, as if he were suppressing something.

Ye Li slowly regained her senses, "She...she was actually seduced!"

She pouted, looking up at Itachi with a defiant expression, wanting him to give her an explanation.

The moment their eyes met, Ye Li chickened out. Itachi's gaze was too intense, and he was a little scared.

Itachi's head throbbed, and the restlessness he had just suppressed surged up again.

This time he couldn't resist and leaned down to kiss her.

Ye Li was a little flustered by the kiss. She placed her hands on Itachi's chest, trying to catch her breath before receiving an even more passionate kiss.

Her mind went blank for a moment, and finally she followed her heart and closed her eyes, her hands unconsciously wrapping around Itachi's neck in response.

This meal seemed to last longer than usual, and it was unclear when it would end, or perhaps it would never end at all.

Ye Li didn't know how she got back to her room. Her face was still flushed, and she tossed and turned under the covers, unable to fall asleep.

"Itachi, how come you suddenly became so insightful!"

She touched her mouth and chuckled to herself, but something about it felt strangely familiar. "What's going on?"

Uchiha Itachi was lying in bed at this moment, somewhat regretting his impulsiveness.

He just wanted Ye to see his physique, but he couldn't resist. He wondered if Ye would misunderstand, since he kissed her before he could even confess his feelings. Although he had secretly kissed her many times before, this was the first time he had done it openly.

"No, he needs to speed up the renovation of that place."
