Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 111 Inexplicable

With a 'whoosh', Lone Star's right shoulder was suddenly pulled down.

"You, you, you... don't go too far!" She took a step back, her back making intimate contact with the door.

Pain took a step forward and looked at her right shoulder. "You removed the spell?"

"Could she say that after she recovered, the illness just disappeared on its own?" Lone Star turned his head, trying to come up with an excuse.

"Are you still thinking about leaving the organization?!" Pain pressed.

"No, I was just trying it out. I didn't expect it to work so quickly. I'm amazing." She blinked her innocent eyes, trying to convince him.

"Heh..." Pain chuckled softly, raising his hand to place it on Lone Star's right collarbone.

Soon, a drop of black water appeared.

"Don't even think about leaving the organization again, or the consequences will be severe," he warned, his expression hardening.

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Lone Star said somewhat obsequiously, "Understood, Boss Payne."

"Next time, she definitely won't make such a silly mistake!" she silently added to herself. Besides, she didn't want to leave now, even if they tried to get rid of her.

After all, it's quite good to be able to learn a lot of new ninjutsu.

Withdrawing his hand, Payne glanced at the talisman mark he had planted, a dark glint flashing in his eyes before quickly returning to normal and leaving the room.

"Does this person have some serious illness?!" Suddenly pushed to the ground, Lonely Star was furious and waved her fist to express her dissatisfaction.

Pain, having no eyes behind him, naturally couldn't notice this. However, he quickened his pace more than usual, expressing his inner turmoil.

Inside the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Fire.

"He's been unconscious for so long, I wonder if Zhishui has managed to stabilize the situation." Hua Ling got up and walked out of the room, only to see Zhishui working on a large stack of documents on the table. It really was true to the saying, "A man who gets serious is more and more handsome the more you look at him."

She watched quietly for a while, and Shisui seemed to sense that someone was watching her, so she turned her gaze over.

Her eyes widened in surprise, then lit up with delight. She stood up and hurried over. "Your Highness, you're awake!"

"Yes, you've had a tough time these past few days." Hua Ling could clearly see Zhi Shui's two large dark circles under his eyes up close, and felt a little guilty.

"It is my honor to serve Your Highness." He admired the prince from the bottom of his heart; the country he governed was exactly what he envisioned.

"Uchiha Shisui is so honest."

Although she was unconscious, she was occasionally conscious and could hear some noises.

During this time, he had to handle affairs, impersonate her to attend many occasions, and not let anyone discover that she was unconscious. In his spare time, he also studied medical books and medical ninjutsu to treat her. The more she thought about it, the more she admired him.

Hua Ling stared at him for a while before slowly saying, "Zhi Shui, I'm giving you a month's leave to rest for a while."

"I imagine you're quite worried about your junior right now."

At this moment, in Zhishui's eyes, this prince seemed to overlap with Ye, which made him somewhat dazed, especially his eyes, where there was a flower deep in his eyes.

Shisui shook his head, ruling out that possibility. "Your Highness, I must wait until you assume the position of Daimyo before I can leave."

"Your full name?"

“But I have no interest in this position, so wouldn’t you have to stay by my side forever?” Hua Ling said with a playful expression.

"To stay by my side forever..." Uchiha Shisui murmured to himself, showing no sign of resistance whatsoever.

"I was just kidding, don't take it seriously." Hua Ling said with a smile when she saw that Zhi Shui hadn't reacted for so long.

"Your Highness, I wish to stay by your side forever." Shisui's expression was quite serious.

When Hua Ling heard this, she was completely dumbfounded when she met the serious expression on his face.

"No, is she this attractive to all men now?"

"still..."

Hua Ling suddenly thought of a possibility, looked around to make sure no one else was present, and asked in a low voice, "Zhi Shui, can I ask you a question as a friend?"

"Are you male or female?"

"Your Highness, how could you have such an idea?" Uchiha Shisui looked completely bewildered, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

"I just...I just wanted to ask, please don't get excited." This was the first time Hua Ling had seen Zhi Shui so agitated, and she became even more certain of herself.

"Does the person she transformed into look a lot like Itachi?" At this moment, she really wanted to take out a mirror and study it.

"Your Highness... Your Highness..." Shisui called out twice, finally bringing the person back to their senses.

She coughed twice. "Shisui, go back to Konoha and personally deliver this letter to the Third Hokage."

“Your Highness, this is something that can be done by others. I need to protect Your Highness.”

Hua Ling knew Shisui would say that, and she had already prepared her words: "Shisui, this letter concerns the future relationship between Konoha and the Land of Fire. I don't trust anyone else to handle it."

"You are the person I trust most right now. I can only entrust this to you. You won't let me down, right?"

Hua Ling changed her approach, forcing Zhi Shui to accept it.

Being entrusted with such a trust and responsibility, Uchiha Shisui felt a little heavy-hearted, as if the letter in his hand weighed a ton.

He carefully tucked it into his bosom. "Your Highness, I will be back soon after I deliver the letter."

"Hmm." She responded, and watching Shisui's departing figure, Hua Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I wonder if Sarutobi Hiruzen will do as she says."

Although she was somewhat uncertain, her face was full of confidence. After all, the benefits she offered were more than enough to tempt anyone, especially those in high positions.

"Hmm... I've calculated the time, the poison she used on the daimyo should be dissipating by now."

"Another tough battle is about to begin."

Despite the tough battle being described as such, Hua Ling's face showed no sign of it; she remained remarkably calm. "Sigh, I've been lying in bed for too long, and my back and waist are really aching. I'll go soak in a hot spring to relax."

She had just been helped into the hot spring when a guard rushed over and knelt down behind the screen. "Your Highness, the lord requests your presence!"

"Okay, you can go now!" Her voice was lazy and indifferent, revealing no emotion.

"Your Highness, the Grand Commander requests your immediate presence," the guard said again.

"Oh, let him wait!" Hua Ling teased the maidservant beside her, replying casually and indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the guard broke out in a cold sweat. He wanted to say something, but his voice was stuck in his throat and he didn't even have the strength to get up.

After all, the prince in front of them has a rather unpleasant personality; he can be described as ruthless. He has only restrained himself somewhat during this period.

He was terrified when he realized he had made such a big mistake.
