Chapter 130 Avalanche
Chapter 130 Avalanche
After eating and drinking her fill, she lay down on the mat the weasel had laid out and prepared to sleep.
After tossing and turning for a long time, she suddenly opened her eyes, snuggled closer to Itachi, and called out softly, "Itachi, are you asleep?"
After a while, seeing that Itachi did not react, he prepared to retreat, but his hand was suddenly grabbed.
"Itachi, when did you learn to scare people like this?" She glared at him.
"It won't happen again next time," he replied softly, his hand never letting go of hers.
Uchiha Ye didn't sense anything amiss and then asked, "Itachi, I noticed you didn't seem very happy this time you went out."
How could Itachi Uchiha be happy to suddenly have a few more rivals in love? He said, "Nothing of the sort, Ye, don't overthink it."
"Okay, then I'm going to sleep." Uchiha Ye withdrew his hand and turned over.
A look of regret instantly appeared on Itachi's face.
Suddenly, a small face with a slight smile reappeared in front of Itachi, "You're clearly unhappy, so why are you being so hypocritical!"
Uchiha Ye grabbed Itachi's hand with one hand and smoothed out his furrowed brow with the other. "Don't be unhappy, okay?"
"Although you look handsome when you frown, I don't like seeing you frown."
The unexpected joy instantly dispelled Itachi's gloomy mood of the past few days. He held Ye's small hand tightly and softly called out, "Ye..."
Seeing that he had returned to normal, Uchiha Ha forced his eyelids shut.
Itachi stared intently at Ye, whose eyes were already closed, feeling an immense sense of satisfaction.
"Even though Ye is so tired, we still comfort him. How could he bear to give it to someone else?"
Uchiha Itachi's eyes suddenly turned crimson, and he pulled Uchiha Ye into the illusion he had created. Then he kissed her forehead, but he was still not satisfied, and finally kissed the lips he had longed for.
He had been waiting for so many days, and today he could finally enjoy her beauty. It was worth all the illusion magic he had developed.
From the outside, the two appeared to be resting at a distance from each other, just like usual.
Early in the morning, Uchiha Ye Youyou woke up and immediately noticed something was wrong with her mouth. She touched it and asked, "Was I bitten by a mosquito? It seems a little swollen?"
She used a single burst of spiritual energy, and the body instantly recovered.
She was the only one left in the room, so she quickly started packing her things.
Upon seeing Itachi, a hint of surprise flashed across her face. "It seems she's not the only one bitten by mosquitoes."
Itachi felt a little guilty under Ye's gaze. "Did Ye find out what he did?"
Just as he was about to explain something, Uchiha Ye took out a bottle of ointment. "Itachi, this ointment is very effective for mosquito bites. Just apply it and it will be fine in a little while."
"Look, my lips were a bit more swollen than yours just now, but after applying some ointment, they're back to normal."
"Okay, I'll apply it now." Itachi took the ointment, scooped out a little and applied it to his lips, a cool sensation spreading through him.
The slight redness and swelling on her lips visibly subsided.
"Ye, the plaster you made is so potent."
"It's nothing special!" she replied modestly, then asked in surprise, "Itachi, there's something strange. It's such a cold day, yet there are mosquitoes."
"Maybe the mosquitoes in the Land of Iron are more resistant to cold!" Itachi forced a weak explanation.
Uchiha Ye nodded. "That makes sense."
"Jiraiya-senpai seems to be calling for a gathering, let's hurry over!"
"Ye, wait a minute, you forgot to put on your cloak again."
Uchiha Ye immediately stopped and let Itachi tie her cloak, but she was a little confused as to why her cloak was in Itachi's bag.
Her principle is to not bother thinking about things she can't figure out. Anyway, this kind of thing has happened many times, and she's gotten used to it.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jiraiya said directly, "Let's go!"
This time, Jiraiya was the team leader, which Uchiha Ye really didn't expect. But thinking about it later, he could understand. He just didn't know how things were going between him and Tsunade.
Uchiha Ye had gossiped about it during her journey, but Jiraiya would only blush and wouldn't reveal anything, which made her extremely frustrated.
However, judging from his appearance, she guessed that there must have been some progress.
The group hadn't gone far when the wind picked up and started blowing snow, making it hard to open their eyes.
"Itachi, do you think there might be an avalanche?"
Uchiha Ye squinted and scanned the area, discovering that they were currently traveling between two mountain peaks.
"No, this kind of weather is very common in the Land of Iron," Itachi reassured him.
"Itachi, haven't you ever considered that this was done by humans?" Uchiha Ye took out his binoculars and looked up at the mountain peak. He could vaguely see several figures moving around.
"Everyone, rush out! Something's happened!"
Before she could finish speaking, explosions came from both mountain peaks, and snow rolled down from the peaks, seemingly threatening to bury them alive.
Jiraiya slammed his hand on the ground and shouted, "Summoning Jutsu!"
A giant frog appeared before them, its tongue curling gently to place everyone behind it, before leaping away from the danger zone.
"Jiraiya, things are not looking good!" Bunta warned, looking at the huge, vertical slope in front of him while smoking his pipe.
Jiraiya naturally noticed this situation, but there was no way to retreat behind him, so he decided to "take it one step at a time."
Having received a response, Bunta stopped arguing and jumped down.
At the same time, Uchiha Ha took out a ski and jumped down. Itachi tried to stop him but didn't have time, only receiving a relieved look in return.
"Uchiha Yoh, what are you doing!" Jiraiya shouted angrily when he noticed the situation.
"Jiraiya-senpai, I'll be alright." Her voice carried from afar before she disappeared into the vast sea of snow.
The next instant, Itachi Uchiha had a ski under his feet and jumped down.
Jiraiya was furious. "These people are all such a handful."
Given the current situation, it's impossible for him to go looking for them; he can't abandon the others.
Although he was anxious, Jiraiya was still quite confident in their strength and believed that nothing bad should happen.
