Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 153 Full of Doubts

Pain left with Lone Star, and soon after, pieces of paper began to fly in and slowly coalesce to form a person.

"Sister Xiao Nan!" Gu Xing ran over and called out pitifully.

Xiao Nan's heart melted at that sound, and she couldn't help but reach out and pat her head.

Konan hadn't forgotten the important matter and spoke to Pain, "This is a document sent by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. He says he wants to marry Lone Star and has already sent 200 million in funds. If things go well, he will send another 300 million."

"I do, I do!" Before Pain could respond, Lone Star eagerly agreed.

Feeling she had agreed too quickly, she added, "I meant I'm willing to sacrifice for the organization, it's so much money."

"Don't even think about it!" Pain knew exactly what she was thinking; she just wanted to break free from his control, so he flatly refused.

Lone Star never expected him to agree. "Men! She does know a thing or two."

"Never mind him, I'm leaving the organization anyway." She clenched her fist, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

Konan and Pain should have something to talk about; she is still very self-aware.

The two watched Lone Star's departing figure in silence for a long while before Konan spoke first, "Ever since you and Lone Star returned from the Land of Iron, Pain's relationship seems to have changed quite a bit."

Pain remained silent, clearly acquiescing to the situation.

Konan gave him a strange look and continued, "Let's not talk about that for now. How should we respond to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire?"

"According to intelligence, Lone Star was originally favored by the daimyo of the Land of Lightning, but the daimyo of the Land of Fire disliked him and tried to stop him."

"These big countries really don't take us small countries seriously," Payne said, clenching his fists, his tone unusually cold.

"Pain, the current daimyo of the Land of Fire is different from the previous daimyo. He is extremely ruthless in his actions. I heard that he has also set up a military department, which has many powerful ninjas who only obey his orders."

"But the specifics are not very clear; all the spies we planted have been removed."

"I suspect that Lone Star knows that daimyo from the Land of Fire. The document also mentions that if Lone Star is unwilling, he doesn't have to be forced, and the money doesn't have to be returned."

"Will this affect the progress of Project Eye of the Moon?"

"No." Konan was taken aback by Pain's confident answer.

"You can decide how to handle the money," Pain added.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan asked in even greater confusion, "Is it a collaboration?"

Payne nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Lonely Star hummed a little tune as she tidied her things, feeling incredibly happy.

You seem very happy today?

Suddenly a voice rang out in the room, startling her. Seeing who it was, she snapped, "I'm happy every day!"

"Why do you keep asking this question these past few days? It's so annoying."

"What's going on with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire?" Young Pain changed the subject.

Lone Star had already prepared his explanation: "I saved him once when I went out on a mission."

"I never expected him to fall for me so easily. Sigh... his charm is too great, it's really a nuisance."

Young Payne had long been aware of her shamelessness, but hearing her say it herself still left him speechless.

"Why are you suddenly so close to me?" Gu Xing subconsciously took a few steps back, giving him a look that said, "Don't get so close to me."

Payne took a few steps forward, then immediately took two steps back. There was nowhere left to retreat, and she was pressed against the wall. "Didn't we agree to keep our distance when we returned to the Land of Rain? Do you even keep your word?"

"If you're warning me, you don't need to get this close." She was visibly flustered, her voice growing increasingly weak. "There are so many acquaintances here; she doesn't want to be seen."

"How about we finish this quickly!" Looking at the boy Payne getting closer and closer, Lone Star reached out and put his arms around Payne's neck before standing on tiptoe and kissing him.

In less than a second, Lone Star withdrew and looked at the dumbfounded young Payne, a sense of triumph welling up within him.

"Let's slip away while he's distracted."

Just as she was about to let go, a pair of large hands wrapped around her waist, and the inertia made her press tightly against the young Payne, and an ambiguous atmosphere slowly rose.

"you..."

She had barely uttered a word when her lips were sealed shut, forcing her to swallow back what she wanted to say. "Since we're leaving anyway, then... then let yourself be this one time."

Upon receiving a response, young Payne involuntarily tightened his grip.

After more than ten minutes, Lone Star finally caught his breath, glaring at him angrily, "This guy must have been a dog in his past life..."

Before she could finish her internal monologue, those cold, thin lips pressed down on her again. "Here we go again... It's never going to end..."

"Okay...actually, he's not that bad...she definitely didn't lose out."

Finally, someone knocked on the door, and young Payne stopped.

Watching the young Payne leave, Lone Star's eyes flashed with a hint of relief. She felt that if she had been any later, she might have been completely devoured.

After some time, Lone Star left his room without any hesitation.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. I'll hide right under his nose and wait for the main body to advance to the Golden Core stage. Then I'll find Changmen, give him a good beating, and leave gracefully. It's perfect."

Hua Ling booked an entire hotel in the Land of Iron and forbade anyone to disturb her during her stay. This puzzled Shisui, but he didn't ask. He just needed to protect her.

Uchiha Shisui stood motionless at the doorway of Hua Ling's room, like a guardian deity.

Hua Ling forgot to take something. When she opened the door and saw Zhi Shui looking like this, she couldn't help but laugh. "Zhi Shui, you don't need to be so serious when you're out and about. You can relax a little."

“Darumaru, this is my duty, you don’t need to worry about it,” Shisui said solemnly.

Seeing that she couldn't reason with him, what could Hua Ling do but let him be?

His actions only fueled Hua Ling's desire to tease him. If it weren't for the current special circumstances, she would have definitely taken him to some unspeakable places.

Upon learning that they were all prepared, Uchiha Haku left Konoha using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

She was originally planning to advance to the Golden Core stage at home when she suddenly remembered something: "There might be a tribulation of lightning!"

Although this possibility is not very high, we still have to be on the safe side. This game is unlikely to be so foolish as to let her physically endure it.

Upon arriving at the deserted island, Uchiha Ye sat cross-legged, brought up his character panel, and clicked on the strength section.

In an instant, the cloudless sky was covered with dark clouds, and what was originally a small lake in Uchiha Ye's dantian slowly condensed into a golden core that floated on top.

"She's actually able to see inside her body."

"Finally, it's starting to feel like cultivating immortality."

She had barely uttered a couple of exclamations when a bolt of lightning struck her with perfect accuracy.

"What... what's going on? There really is a lightning tribulation!" she exhaled a puff of smoke, utterly bewildered.

She quickly noticed the changes in her body, as if it were reshaping her. "But this hurts so much!"

As one lightning bolt after another struck, Uchiha Ye circulated his technique to absorb the power of the lightning. Just as he was recovering some of his strength, another lightning bolt struck.

This continued in a loop until it was cleaved twenty-seven times before it finally stopped.

"Luckily, this is just a game. The lightning tribulation doesn't seem to be very strong, otherwise she would definitely have been struck and her soul would have been scattered." She wiped the unfounded cold sweat from her forehead and sighed deeply.

Once the tribulation of lightning passed, the dark clouds in the sky instantly dispersed, and soon a spiritual rain began to fall.

Uchiha Ye extended two fingers and twirled them slightly, causing the spiritual rain to drift to her side, enter her body, and quickly heal the injuries left by the lightning tribulation.

"It's both painful and exhilarating!"

Once her body had fully recovered, she opened her eyes. Her Sharingan, which originally had three tomoe, spun rapidly, slowly transforming into the Mangekyou Sharingan before stopping. After a while, her black pupils returned to normal.

Uchiha Yoh didn't notice this for the time being, only realizing that a lot of his chakra had been drained away in an instant.

She no longer cared about whether she had chakra or not; all she knew was that she was now terrifyingly strong, capable of taking down ten Kaguyas. She excitedly tested a large-scale spell and boasted about it.

Once the initial excitement wore off, she immediately changed her attitude: "One should keep a low profile, stay calm, stay calm, these are all minor incidents."

Before long, Uchiha Ye realized that something was wrong with his body, and he had a feeling that he was about to collapse.

She should have known that this game couldn't be played by her alone.

It seems that using spiritual power to unleash large-scale spells can only be used occasionally as a powerful move; normally, chakra is the primary source and spiritual power is secondary.

"Okay... I can barely accept it," Uchiha Ye said, trying to console himself.

She is increasingly suspicious that the cultivation technique she is practicing is only half-finished, and whether this is really a game world.
