Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 501 Little Wild Cat

The hospital was quiet and peaceful in the early morning.

Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the hospital bed, where a delicate young girl was fast asleep.

Her face was as delicate as white jade, and her slightly furrowed brows revealed an uneasy emotion.

Even in her sleep, her hands remained tightly gripping the sheets, as if seeking a sense of security. The surrounding environment was quiet and peaceful, with only her faint breathing and the occasional sounds of medical equipment.

The rising sun outside the window gradually shone higher, its golden rays bathing her face and making her skin appear even more translucent.

The sunlight gently caressed the corners of her eyes, as if trying to soothe the worries in her heart.

The slightly glaring sunlight, mixed with the chirping of birds outside the window, woke the sleeping girl.

Her eyelids trembled slightly, and her amber eyes opened.

"Where am I?"

The Land of Rain is dark and damp, and never sees the sun.

Xiao Nan involuntarily narrowed her eyes and then began to look around at her surroundings.

With its white walls, bed sheets, and pungent disinfectant smell, this place is undoubtedly a hospital.

Looking down again, her gaze fell on her wrist.

A ring of black incantations encircled it.

I closed my eyes and sensed for a while.

"really…"

Not only on the wrists, but also on the ankles and lower abdomen, there were black runes.

Furthermore, I couldn't sense any chakra at all.

Am I being imprisoned?

"I'm coming in!"

With two knocks, the door was pushed open.

It was clearly someone from outside who came to check after hearing the commotion.

"Who are you…"

Looking at the tall man at the door of the ward, Xiao Nan's pupils contracted, and she couldn't help but speak:

"Jiraiya... teacher~"

Seeing the familiar attire and the rugged face of the person who came, warm memories of the past flooded back.

Then, thinking of what they had all experienced, a mist appeared in the corner of her eye.

"Haha! Minami, there's no need to be so emotional about this long-awaited reunion."

Jiraiya remained as carefree as ever, but upon seeing the moisture in Konan's eyes, he suddenly became somewhat at a loss.

He could only hide his embarrassment by laughing loudly.

"But it's so good to hear you're still alive!"

Jiraiya didn't take the news of the Hokage's attack too seriously at first.

However, when the other party mentioned the Rinnegan and the capture of a woman with blue-purple hair, he became somewhat interested.

After much pleading and cajoling, I finally got the details from Toshiro.

He certainly wouldn't leave it unattended.

In fact, the reason why Konan was able to receive treatment in a hospital instead of in prison was also due to Jiraiya's help.

Although their chakra was restricted, there was a team of ANBU guards outside.

"Nagato... Jiraiya-sensei, how is Nagato?"

Xiao Nan's downcast mood subsided, and as if remembering something, she quickly asked.

"Is he...?"

Now that I've met Jiraiya-sensei, I'm obviously in Konoha.

Based on her understanding of Nagato, she knew he wouldn't abandon her and escape alone.

Given this, Nagato's fate...

"Don't worry, Nagato has been rescued!"

Seeing Konan's emotional state, Jiraiya hesitated for a moment before telling her the truth.

"Lord Jiraiya... what you're doing... isn't in accordance with the rules~"

Behind Jiraiya, at the door of the ward, a young ninja in a green vest muttered something about dissatisfaction.

This is a key criminal who attacked the Hokage; how could we possibly reveal information to him?

Doesn't this make the subsequent interrogation more difficult...?

"Kakashi, I have already applied to the Hokage. I will handle Konan's case."

He waved his hand, showing no anger.

"However... as far as I know, the Hokage did not agree."

Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Kakashi gave a somewhat listless rebuttal.

While guarding prisoners in a hospital, it's impossible for him to wear an ANBU uniform or an animal mask; therefore, Kakashi wore a regular ninja combat outfit.

Combined with his crooked headband and his颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a sense of decadence, apathy, or disillusionment) demeanor, he stood out from the crowd.

"Uh~"

Jiraiya was slightly embarrassed after Kakashi exposed him.

The Hokage did not agree to let him interrogate Konan, saying that he was afraid Konan would act on emotion.

But... how did this kid know that...?

"Although the Hokage did not agree, the Hokage's assistant has agreed that I will be in charge of this serious criminal."

Left with no other choice, Jiraiya had to use Tsunade as a shield.

After saying this, Jiraiya plopped down on the chair next to him, looking at the somewhat weak Konan on the hospital bed.

"Xiao Nan, can you tell me what happened to you afterwards?"

The message he received was that Xiao Nan and the other two had all died, but the reality was clearly not like that.

"If possible, the teacher is willing to listen to what you have to say."

The experienced Jiraiya knew at first glance that Konan must have had a very difficult time all these years.

Otherwise, the once quiet and lovely little girl wouldn't have become so lifeless.

"teacher…"

With Nagato safe and sound, Konan finally felt a huge weight lifted from her shoulders.

He looked at Jiraiya with the care and concern of an elder.

Having witnessed the dark side of the ninja world over the years, Konan could no longer hold back, and a tear slid down her cheek.

On the other side, at the residence of Uchiha Toshiro.

Inside the bedroom.

The bed looked messy after the battle.

The sheets were torn, the pillows were thrown aside, and the blankets were ripped to shreds. Items from the bed were scattered all over the floor, including books, photos, a kettle, and medicine bottles.

Deep marks were left on the wall beside the bed, seemingly caused by a heavy object. The entire bed looked a mess, a reminder of the cruelty and ruthlessness of war.

Her voluptuous figure was concealed by a thin blanket, revealing only a hint of her lingering peach-pink skin.

Yecang lay quietly on the bed.

Her eyes were tightly closed, her hair disheveled, as if she were sleeping too soundly due to exhaustion, with a trace of clear liquid still trickling from the corner of her mouth. Apart from the rise and fall of her chest and abdomen, she resembled a delicate doll that had lost consciousness.

They looked like they'd been completely ruined.

As time passed, sunlight filled the entire room.

"Hmm~"

With a groan, Yecang opened his eyes.

His eyes were initially blank, then his gaze became focused.

Looking at the surrounding chaos, as if he had thought of something, Ye Cang's face suddenly turned as red as blood.

I had just gotten up when, without noticing, I fell back onto the bed.

Feeling the tingling sensation below, Ye Cang pulled the blanket over herself to cover her exposed body, then glared fiercely at the person next to her.

Beside her, Toshiro, looking relaxed, was squinting his eyes, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery before him.

"Hmm~"

Seeing the smug smile on the other's lips, Yecang, remembering the madness of last night, could no longer hold back and threw herself into Toshiro's arms.

Of course, it's not what everyone thinks.

"Hey, you crazy woman, you were already outrageous last night, but why are you still..."

At first, Toshiro was a little taken aback by Yekura's advances.

When he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, he realized what Yekura was trying to do.

At the same time, I couldn't help but complain.

This woman is truly a mature little wildcat who knows how to bite.

However, thinking about the two of them being so wild last night, I relaxed the tense muscles in my shoulders.

"Hiss...you're serious!"

Ye Cang originally thought she was just putting on an act, just flirting, but unexpectedly, the woman actually took a bite.

In light of this, Toshiro didn't hold back and took a bite as well.

"Ah~"

With a soft cry, Yekura clearly hadn't expected Toshiro to talk back, and couldn't help but groan in pain.

He clenched his teeth again, retaliating fiercely.

Finally, the two, neither willing to give in, engaged in another duel.

After a long while, relying on his physical abilities, Toshiro won the match.

Looking at Yokura lying on the bed like a lump of mud, Toshiro pulled her into his arms, feeling Yokura's magnificent figure in his palm.

After a long while, Yekura finally came to her senses from the afterglow and nestled obediently in Toshiro's arms.

"This place seems to be..."

Suddenly, Yekura felt an unusual itch on her shoulder, where Toshiro had just bitten her.

Yekura glared at Toshiro next to her again.

Can't this guy give me a little leeway?

"Those weren't ordinary bite marks."

Sensing Yekura's fierce gaze, Toshiro continued his work, his eyes sweeping over Yekura's neck.

There, on her fair and slender neck, the wound that Toshiro had bitten had quickly healed.

A black pattern, resembling Toshiro's kaleidoscope, appeared on the surface before disappearing beneath the skin.

"I left something inside your body~"

At this point, Toshiro's expression suddenly changed.

"What's wrong with you now?"

It turned out that Yecang felt terrible after hearing that the other person had left something inside her body.

The hand that had been around his waist pinched Toshiro hard.

I was referring to your neck.

"I left my secretions there, and in the days to come, they will be able to absorb small amounts of natural energy from the outside world to help regulate your body."

Realizing that his words were ambiguous, Toshiro quickly offered an explanation.

And things were indeed as he described.

Toshiro imitated Orochimaru's cursed seal and developed his own, though it wasn't for reincarnation or resurrection.

Its main function is to help absorb natural energy from the air, help the other person recover from their physical deficiencies, and further revitalize their body.

This is also thanks to how he has used his magic to activate the changes in his body for so many years, rain or shine.

His body can now naturally absorb small amounts of natural energy.

"Try it yourself, you should be able to feel some different changes."

Toshiro reached out and stroked the Flying Thunder God mark, feeling its smooth texture, thoroughly enjoying his leisurely moment.

This is what life is all about. What's the point of fighting and killing all the time?

Even if we're going to fight, we should at least find a different battlefield.
