Obito walked over without a care and deliberately squeezed to sit on your other side. "Tanuki-senpai~ Madara is looking for you all over the base."

You facepalm. "Couldn't you just pretend you didn't see me?"

"No~" Obito drawled, then suddenly put his arm around your shoulder. "Unless...you agree to come to my room tonight?"

"You're courting death!" Scorpion's puppet needle pierced Obito's throat, but was swallowed up by the Kamui Space.

Chapter 191 - A Perilous Love (10)

Nagato rubbed his temples. He had just finished dealing with the farce involving Deidara and Hidan and thought he could finally catch his breath, but before he could take more than a few steps, he heard a series of ear-piercing metallic clanging sounds coming from the garden.

He sighed and turned to walk towards the source of the sound.

Then, what happened was quite outrageous.

Ah Fei clung to your back like a giant sloth, his orange swirling mask rubbing exaggeratedly against your shoulder. "Tanuki, help! Senior Scorpion is going to turn me into a puppet!"

Scorpion's Crimson Amber shell had fully unfolded, dozens of poisoned puppet needles gleaming coldly in the sunlight, and a chilling mechanical voice said, "Get off her."

You stand in the middle, looking completely innocent, and even have the leisure to reach out and pat Afei's head, as if you're comforting a frightened little animal.

And the culprit is obvious.

"Good morning!" You saw Nagato, your eyes lit up, and you raised your hand to wave.

Nagato: "......"

He was in a bad state; his purple eyes, filled with exhaustion, showed no sign of being able to resolve the issues with these problem children, even after processing ten documents from the Rain Village.

"Don't look so gloomy!" You walked up to him with a grin, pinched his cheek, and forced a smile. "Smile, please~"

Nagato grabbed your wrist and said in a low voice, "Don't you already have a lover? Why are you still touching other people?"

You raised an eyebrow, not only not backing down, but instead took a step closer, looking up at him with a mischievous glint in your eyes, "So formal?"

Your fingertips lightly brushed against his palm, with a hint of teasing.

Nagato's breathing hitched slightly, and she subconsciously tightened her fingers, but immediately loosened them after realizing her reaction, taking a half step back with a cold face.

"Stop joking around." He frowned. "What exactly did you do to them?"

You blinked, looking completely innocent. "I was just stating the truth."

"What truth?"

"I said—" you deliberately dragged out the word, glancing out of the corner of your eye at Scorpion, who was still on the verge of exploding in rage, "Ah Fei's puppetry talent might even be higher than Scorpion's~"

Nagato: "......"

No wonder Scorpion kills people.

Hiding behind you, Ah Fei immediately peeked out and added smugly, "That's right! I'm a genius!"

Scorpion's steel cable swung violently, and A-Fei let out a strange cry, instantly activating his divine power to hide in the void, leaving only a voice echoing in the air, "Leader, save me—!"

You laughed so hard your shoulders shook, while Nagato felt a splitting headache.

He took a deep breath, about to speak, when he suddenly sensed a familiar chakra fluctuation; Madara was walking towards him.

Nagato glanced at you, who was still unaware of the situation, then at Sasori, who was still furious, and silently took a step back.

After all, he didn't want to be affected by Madara's Susanoo.

Sure enough, the next second, Madara's deep, cold voice came from behind, "Nagi, what are you doing here?"

You turn around and see Madara standing in the morning light, his black hair flowing freely. His gaze sweeps between you and Sasori, finally landing on your wrist, which Nagato had just held.

You blinked, and instead of panicking, you smiled even more brightly.

"Good morning, Ban," you said cheerfully. "I'm helping them get to know each other better~"

spot:"......"

Nagato: "......"

scorpion:"......"

Madara's gaze swept back and forth between Nagato and Sasori.

When did these two become so in sync?

The tense atmosphere from just moments ago strangely dissolved the moment he appeared, and Sasori retracted his steel cable, while Nagato resumed his indifferent expression. The two nodded almost simultaneously, as if nothing had happened.

Ban tapped his arm lightly with his fingertips, lost in thought. Were these guys really as well-behaved as he thought?

He looked down at you, and the other person was standing to the side with a smile, their black hair slightly lifted by the morning breeze, and their eyes gleaming with a cunning light. They didn't seem like the type to stay obediently by his side at all.

"You two get along well, I'm going to my office." You waved your hand, turned around and left, your tone as relaxed as if what had just happened had nothing to do with you.

Madara's eyes darkened, but before he could speak, Nagato suddenly said, "Perfect timing, I also have a few documents to discuss with you."

All your eyes fell on Nagato.

Nagato remained unfazed, his purple Rinnegan calm and undisturbed, as if his previous statement was merely a matter of business, rather than some kind of veiled struggle.

Scorpion's mechanical fingers tightened slightly, and Hiruko's steel cable silently wrapped around your wrist.

Ban sneered and grabbed your shoulder. "Discussing documents? Why don't you tell me what you were talking about just now?"

You blinked, not panicking at all. Instead, you leaned closer to Madara, looked up at him, and said innocently, "It really was just a normal morning greeting~"

—Only a fool would believe that.

Nagato glanced indifferently at Madara's hand on your shoulder and said calmly, "It's the latest intelligence about the Land of Rain, and I need your confirmation."

Scorpion's mechanical eyes flickered slightly. "Before this, she promised to help me debug the puppet."

Madara's eyes grew increasingly dangerous, the lines in his Rinnegan slowly rotating before finally settling on your face. "You seem quite busy?"

You smiled, your eyes crinkling, and gently tapped Ban's chest with your fingertip. "What? Are you jealous?"

Ban's breath hitched slightly, then he sneered, "You think I'd care about something like that?"

"If you don't care, why are you holding on so tightly?" You looked down at his hands on your shoulders, your tone teasing.

Finally, Ban released his grip, turned away with a cold face, and said, "Whatever."

“Oh, right!” You poked Ban’s chest. “Go and fix the east wall.”

Madara squinted. "You're ordering me around?"

You suddenly tiptoed and gently kissed the corner of his lips, saying, "I'll give you a reward tonight."

Madara's Rinnegan contracted instantly. Before he could react, you had already nimbly slipped out of the encirclement, skipping and hopping towards the outside, "I'm going to see if Deidara blew himself away~"

You've just shaken off them and are walking briskly down the corridor of the Akatsuki base, wondering where you can find some peace and quiet, when suddenly a hand reaches out from the shadows and abruptly pulls you into the shadows of the corridor!

"Ugh!" Your exclamation was covered by a cool hand, your back pressed against the cold wall, and before you was Uchiha Itachi's handsome face so close to yours.

His black hair fell down, a few strands brushing against your neck, tickling you so much that you couldn't help but shrug your shoulders.

"Don't make a sound." Itachi's voice was very low, and his warm breath brushed against your ear.

You stare wide-eyed, about to struggle, when you hear familiar footsteps coming down the corridor.

"Strange, I definitely sensed the aura of a wicked woman just now..."

Deidara's blonde hair shimmered in the corridor light, just a step away from the dark corner where you were hiding.

"That scumbag woman!" Deidara kicked a pebble angrily. "Why did she have to have a secret affair with Yahiko without me! I have to find her and get to the bottom of this! Hmm!"

Itachi's chest was pressed against your back, and this sense of impending danger made your cheeks inexplicably burn. In retaliation, you reached out and pinched Itachi's lower back hard.

"Well..."

A muffled groan came from above, and Itachi's muscles tensed instantly. His knuckles, which were covering your lips, trembled slightly, and Deidara's footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

"Was there any sound just now? Hmm!"

You hold your breath as Deidara's golden head peers into the shadowy corner, revealing even the confusion in the boy's blue eyes.

At this critical moment——

"Deidara!" Kakuzu's sinister voice boomed from the end of the corridor, "Give me the money for the damaged public property!"

"Ugh, it's you again! Hmm!"

The blond boy ran away wailing, his footsteps gradually fading away.

Just as you were about to lash out, the weasel gently tapped your lips with its fingertip, stopping you.

"Shh." Itachi's Sharingan gleamed in the shadows. "They haven't gone far yet."

Sure enough, Deidara's complaining voice drifted over, "...She's definitely hiding from me... When I find her, I'm going to stuff explosive clay into her hair..."

You were so angry that you wanted to rush out and confront them, but Itachi grabbed your wrist and pulled you back into his arms.

This time he leaned close to your ear, his breath hot, "If we go out now, everyone will find out about us..."

The unfinished words turned into a shiver, Itachi's lips brushed against your earlobe, his fingers slowly slid down the inside of your wrist, and finally your fingers intertwined.

This gesture was so intimate that you momentarily forgot to struggle.

"You..." You had just opened your mouth when Itachi's expression suddenly turned serious.

Scorpion's voice came from around the corner, "Have you seen the raccoon?"

"No." This was Nagato's indifferent response. "Yahiko is looking for her in the East District."

The footsteps of the two grew closer and closer. Itachi's eyes darkened, and he suddenly grabbed your waist, spun you around, and led you into a more secluded storage room.

The moment the wooden door closed, Yahiko's deep, questioning voice came from outside, "Where is he?"

In the cramped space, Itachi's breathing became erratic, and the storage room was filled with scrolls, forcing you to huddle together.

Your lower back is pressed against the bookshelf, and in front of you is the scalding chest of a weasel; there's not even room to turn around.

“Really…” Itachi’s voice was incredibly hoarse, “surrounded by wolves.”

"Are you jealous?" You deliberately leaned closer, your thin lips almost touching his Adam's apple.

Suddenly, the weasel grabs your waist and lifts you up, forcing you to sit on the stack of scrolls at eye level with him.

“I was just thinking…” Itachi pressed his thumb against your lips, “how to cover up someone else’s mark.”

His kiss came suddenly and fiercely, completely unlike his usual restraint. You clutched his robe, protesting softly between breaths, "Wait, wait... they'll hear us..."

"Then don't make a sound." Itachi murmured, biting your lower lip, his fingers already slipping inside your clothes.

Suddenly, Kakuzu's furious roar came from outside the door, "Deidara! Where do you think you're going!"

Then came Nagato's icy voice, "Have you seen the raccoon?"

"N-nothing! Hmm!" Deidara's voice faded into the distance. "I'll go look in the West District!"

The commotion in the storage room was perfectly concealed, and Itachi took the opportunity to deepen the kiss until you punched his shoulder as if you were suffocating before he let go.

"Uchiha... Itachi!" You glared at him, your breath catching in your throat. "When did you learn this...?"

“Many things…” Itachi slowly straightened your collar, “I learned them in the Anbu.”

His fingertips suddenly paused. Below your collarbone, there was a very faint tooth mark. Judging from the mark, it was clearly left recently.

"Yahiko?" Itachi's voice suddenly turned cold.

"Uchiha Itachi," you cupped his face in your hands, "you wouldn't... have a crush on me, would you?"

The eagle's eyelashes cast fine shadows under his eyes. He gently took your wrist and placed a kiss on your palm.

"Am I not obvious enough?"

Chapter 192 Dangerous Love (11)

The sound of black boots clicking on the marble floor was particularly clear in the empty corridor. The hem of her dress swayed gently with each step, revealing a glimpse of her fair ankles.

"There should be a few more new documents arriving..." you muttered to yourself as you pushed open the office door, your fingertips just touching the doorknob.

A golden figure suddenly rushed out from inside, catching you off guard and knocking you head over heels. You staggered back a few steps before regaining your balance.

Deidara clung to you, his arms tightly wrapped around your waist. His golden ponytail came undone from the violent movement, and strands of hair brushed against your cheeks, carrying a faint scent of gunpowder.

"What are you doing... um?" You subconsciously used Deidara's verbal tic, placing your hands on his chest to try and push him away, but Deidara was like a sticky plaster, the more you pushed, the tighter he stuck to you.

"Finally caught you! Hmm!" Deidara looked up, his azure eyes flashing with grievance and dissatisfaction. "Do you know I've been looking for you all day?"
