Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 109 Tsunade Appears

"Jiraiya-senpai, is Lady Tsunade really in a place like this?" Itachi Uchiha looked at the casinos lining both sides of the town's streets, his mind filled with doubt.

Just as Jiraiya was about to respond, a large group of people suddenly ran past them.

At this point, someone stopped and asked, "Have you seen a blonde woman who looks to be around twenty years old, with pigtails...?"

“She’s very…” The man didn’t say it directly, but just gestured.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya immediately knew that the person was referring to Tsunade. It seemed that he hadn't come to the wrong place. He casually pointed to a spot and dismissed the person in front of him.

"Jiraiya-senpai, aren't you afraid that the place you're pointing to is exactly where Lady Tsunade is hiding?"

"Don't worry, Itachi. Knowing her as I do, she definitely won't hide there."

"Come on, I'll take you to find Tsunade right now." Jiraiya walked confidently toward a tavern.

As soon as Jiraiya entered the tavern, he met Tsunade's gaze, and Orochimaru was sitting opposite her.

"I never thought the three of us would meet again." Tsunade poured herself a glass of wine, sipping it as she remarked, "So, what do you want from me?"

"They probably didn't just want to have a simple get-together, especially since they brought along an Uchiha brat."

"His name is Uchiha Itachi, and he is my disciple. I've come to you to ask you to save my other disciple, Uchiha Yo." Orochimaru didn't hide anything and said it directly.

Now it was Tsunade's turn to be surprised. "How could those high-ranking officials in Konoha possibly let you take two Uchiha clan members as your disciples?"

"It's a long story," Orochimaru said with a faint smile, offering no further explanation.

Jiraiya listened to their conversation without interrupting, as he was quite curious himself.

After chatting for a while, Tsunade's curiosity about Uchiha Hatake grew stronger, and in the end she still refused to return to Konoha, as she was currently unable to perform any surgery.

Upon hearing this, Itachi knelt down as Tsunade got up to leave. "Lady Tsunade, I am willing to pay any price, just please save Yo."

Tsunade glanced at him, then ignored Itachi and left.

She had only taken two steps when Itachi knelt down in front of her again, "Lady Tsunade, please."

He knelt down again and again, drawing stares from everyone in the tavern, but Itachi paid no heed. Tsunade remained unmoved until they left the tavern.

He clenched his fists, and thinking of Ye, whose fate was unknown, his black eyes instantly turned blood red. "Lady Tsunade, I'm sorry."

"Itachi, don't be impulsive!" Jiraiya stopped him in time.

Just then, a woman carrying a piglet in one arm and a box in the other ran over. "Lady Tsunade, I've packed my things. Let's hurry and leave before the debt collectors find us."

"I promise you I'll return to Konoha!" Tsunade said suddenly when she saw Shizune, then added, "But the surgery must be performed by my disciple, Shizune."

"Don't worry, Jingyin has been by my side for so many years, and I have already taught her everything I know."

Shizune then noticed the other three people next to Tsunade. "Lord Jiraiya, Lord Orochimaru, what... what are you doing here?"

There was also a handsome little boy, whom she nodded and greeted.

"Shizune, I'll tell you all about it on the way back to Konoha."

No sooner had they left than Pain appeared from around a corner. With the three Sannin gathered together, he wasn't confident he could take Tsunade away, so he had to look for another opportunity.

Konoha Hospital.

"Kakashi-senpai, you've been guarding here for a whole day and night, take a rest!" Yamato advised.

"Any news from Itachi?" Kakashi didn't respond, but asked instead.

"I heard they've found Lady Tsunade and she's on her way back." Yamato, who had just come from the Third Hokage's place, immediately shared the information he knew.

His previously lifeless eyes suddenly lit up with a sharp light as he stared intently at the person on the bed. "Ye, you'll be alright."

Because there were other people around, he resisted the urge and did not touch Ye.

"Senior, you should go and rest. I'll take good care of things," Yamato advised again.

"Hmm." This time he didn't refuse, took a deep look, and turned to leave the ward.

Upon returning to Konoha, Tsunade was immediately taken to the hospital. "At least let me have a drink of water!"

Itachi's face was full of anxiety. "Lady Tsunade, Ye's condition is critical, and there is no time to wait."

"Kid, you like her, don't you?" Tsunade asked with a gossipy look on her face.

Itachi neither denied nor responded; only his flushed ears betrayed him.

"That's great!" A hint of envy flashed across Tsunade's face. Just for this reason, she would definitely instruct Shizune to heal Uchiha Yo.

It's quite touching that the Uchiha, such a proud clan, knelt down time and time again to get her to save people.

Outside the ward, Itachi kept pacing back and forth, making Jiraiya feel a little dizzy.

Orochimaru leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, seemingly lost in thought.

Two hours later, Tsunade and Shizune walked out of the ward.

"Lady Tsunade, how is Ye?" Itachi asked immediately as soon as he saw the person come out.

Tsunade thought of Uchiha Ye and a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes. "I gave her some basic treatment, and she's relatively stable now."

"But to be honest, it's a miracle that she's still alive. A normal person would probably have died from the pain long ago. I really don't know what kind of willpower is keeping her going," Tsunade said with some emotion.

"Ye Ding did it all for that promise!" Itachi felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. "He hates his own weakness."

Tsunade glanced at the boy in front of her. "Itachi, Uchiha Ye woke up briefly just now, and the first thing he asked was about your condition. Aren't you going in to check on him?"

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha quickly composed himself and went inside.

"Tsunade, is there something you can't tell me that you sent Itachi away?" Orochimaru asked, appearing beside Tsunade at some point.

"Yes, the situation is worse than I imagined. I'm not very confident," Tsunade said after a long silence.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya jumped up. "What? Even you aren't confident?!"

"Let's talk somewhere else!" Orochimaru said, glancing at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya then belatedly realized that he had spoken a little too loudly.

Itachi entered the ward and saw that Ye, who was always so energetic, was now lying on the hospital bed, his life hanging in the balance. Itachi's eyes were filled with tears.

He gently stroked Ye's face. "Ye, allow me to be selfish just this once. You must hold on. I can't imagine you leaving."

As soon as Lady Tsunade stepped out of the ward, he noticed the deep solemnity in her eyes, and he knew that what Lady Tsunade said was just to comfort him.

"Dazed Weasel..." Suddenly, an extremely weak voice rang out.

Although it was so faint it was almost inaudible, Itachi felt as if he had heard heavenly music and happily raised his head, just in time to meet Uchiha Yoh's eyes, who had just opened them.

Her eyes were full of accusation, as if she wanted him to come closer to her; she had something to say.

Itachi Uchiha instantly understood, and put his ear close to her mouth, "Itachi, you... haven't taken a bath in days, you stink... you smell."

Upon hearing this, his face instantly turned bright red, and he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Ye, I'll go home for a bit later."

He suddenly remembered that he hadn't been home since Ye was injured, and he immediately felt a pang of guilt.

"Remember... to wash your hair too," Uchiha Yoh reminded him again.

"Okay." He remembered that President Ye would secretly play with his hair while he was asleep.

Having received a reply, Uchiha Ye closed her eyes and fell asleep. "It doesn't hurt when I'm asleep. Next time, I definitely won't be a hero for saving people..."

She just said that, so Itachi will definitely go home instead of staying here to watch over her.
