Chapter 114 The Hidden Cloud Envoy
Chapter 114 The Hidden Cloud Envoy
"Neji... if it's inconvenient for you to say, you don't need to answer." Her voice was gentle, and her eyes were full of understanding.
"No, I think we should welcome them!"
"Ye is so good, how could anyone not like her!" Neji silently added in his mind.
"Really?" Uchiha Ye looked pleasantly surprised. "It seems that the rumors about the two great clans not getting along are not true."
"Neji, let's spar!"
With a smile on her face, she struck a pose as if practicing Gentle Fist and invited, "If you memorize something after just one look, that shouldn't count as stealing knowledge, right?" Uchiha Ye thought to herself.
A hint of doubt flashed across Neji's face as he stood up and walked to the opposite side of her.
She stopped smiling, and a fighting spirit ignited in her eyes.
Before long, the two began to spar with each other.
At first, Uchiha Ye relied on his instincts to dodge, but later he gradually adapted to the Gentle Fist attack style and exchanged blows with Neji.
The two stopped to rest only after nightfall.
"Neji, I have to go back now. I'll come find you again next time." Seeing that it was getting dark, Uchiha Hajime remembered that he had important business to attend to and said goodbye.
"Ye, please wait a moment, this is for you." Neji took something out of his pocket and handed it over.
"What is this?" She looked at the silver leaf in Neji's hand, a puzzled expression on her face.
Neji moved closer, touched a strand of her hair, and tucked the silver leaf in his hand into it.
"All right."
When he first saw these leaves, he couldn't resist buying them, and he still vaguely remembers the strange look in his father's eyes at the time.
Uchiha Ye touched the thing in her hair and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, I like it very much, see you later."
Neji was stunned for a moment when he saw that smile, and by the time he realized what was happening, the person had already left.
After leaving Neji's house, Uchiha Ye removed his hair ornaments, transformed back into his original form, changed into a black outfit, covered his face, and blended into the night, waiting on the road that the Cloud Village envoys were bound to take.
"It's already 2 a.m., why hasn't it shown up yet?"
"Could it be that the plot has been delayed for almost a year, and this part of the story won't happen?" Uchiha Ye thought to himself, squatting on a tree.
Despite this thought, she did not intend to leave and decided to wait until dawn.
Another half hour passed, and Uchiha Ye finally heard some noise. He was in a drowsy state, but immediately became alert.
"He's here, he's here, he's here!"
She saw a figure coming from afar toward the Sunrise Clan's territory.
Observing the distance, when the figure was about to pass by her, she threw a kunai at him. As the kunai reached the person behind her, she caught it with a 'Flying Thunder God Technique' and appeared behind him at the same time, knocking him unconscious with a hand chop.
They then took the person and left, as if nothing had happened.
"What should I do with this person?" Uchiha Ye left the person on the floor at home and pondered.
"Should I kill him?" But she was afraid that killing him would cause the plot to go back to normal.
“Sending it back is not a good idea.”
It's almost dawn, and if they can't find anyone in the Hidden Cloud Village, they'll definitely cause trouble.
"Should we use this opportunity to fake our death and leave Konoha?"
Uchiha Ye thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible. As long as she killed this person in front of everyone, no one could protect her.
Konoha will definitely push her out to her death for the sake of so-called peace, just like Hyuga Hizashi died in place of her in the original story. "Anyway, it's quite easy to fake her death."
"But why is she a little reluctant to leave?"
At that moment, she longed to see Itachi.
Itachi has now awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, but it's unknown whether he has started to develop a bloodline disease.
Although the original plot didn't mention it, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that he has a physical problem, and she was even planning to use her own eyes to cultivate a pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan for him. Leaving now seems a bit untimely.
"I think I'll stay." Uchiha Yo decided immediately.
"Knock knock knock..." Just then, a knocking sound came from outside the door.
"Holy crap, why would someone be knocking on her door in the middle of the night?"
"Haven't you been back to live here for so long, has this house become someone else's?"
Uchiha Ye glanced around; the room was exactly the same as when she left, so she dismissed the possibility.
"Who could it be? It can't be a ghost, can it?"
She tiptoed to the door, intending to open it and take a look, when another thought popped into her mind, "Should I pretend I'm not here?"
"Ye, it's me!" A familiar voice came through the crack in the door.
"Shisui-nii, why did you suddenly come back?" Uchiha Ye opened the door with a surprised look on his face.
Although she already knew from Hua Ling that Uchiha Shisui had returned, her surprised expression was genuine.
Judging from his travel-worn appearance, he must have just returned to Konoha.
"Damn it, I forgot about the Cloud Village envoy on the floor behind me!"
"You probably didn't see Shisui!"
She shifted her body slightly, trying to block Uchiha Shisui's view.
Uchiha Shisui chuckled as he saw her little gesture. "Ye, there's no need to hide it. I've been watching everything since you knocked out the Cloud Village envoy."
"Shisui-nii, I just saw him acting suspiciously near the Hyuga clan's territory. He must be eyeing the Hyuga Byakugan."
"You should have heard that the Hidden Cloud Village has a particular fondness for collecting bloodline limits."
"I just...I just..."
"Ye, I understand what you mean. I came to you to deal with this person." Uchiha Shisui stated his purpose.
"By the way, this is yours, isn't it?" he asked, pulling out a leaf-shaped hair accessory.
Uchiha Ye touched his pocket, nodded, and reached out to take it.
"This hair accessory suits you perfectly!" Zhishui complimented. "Shall I put it on you?"
"No need... I'm afraid it'll fall again..." she quickly waved her hand.
"Heh... It's alright. If it's lost, I'll have someone make a new one for you." Uchiha Shisui's lips curled into a gentle smile.
"Ah..." She paused for a moment.
While she was still in a daze, Uchiha Shisui took the hair ornament from Ye's hand and put it in her hair.
He noticed that Ye's hair seemed to have grown a lot, almost reaching her waist, but why was the flower deep in her eyes gone?
Although a long time has passed, he has never forgotten it, which makes him think of His Highness unconsciously.
It seems necessary to find out more.
"Shisui-nii..." Uchiha Hajime called out when he saw Shisui in a daze.
"It's getting late. If we don't deal with this Cloud Envoy soon, it'll be dawn." She only thought this to herself.
"Sorry, I just remembered something!"
"I'm taking him with me. You get some rest." Shisui said a few words to the Cloud Village envoy before leaving before dawn.
"Has Uchiha Shisui become suspicious?"
Suddenly, my head started to ache.
"Forget it, I don't want to."
Uchiha Ye muttered something, closed the door, and returned to his room.
With a casual flick of his wrist, he cast a 'cleaning spell,' and the house, which had been covered in a layer of dust, instantly became spotless.
