Subsequently, his body seemed to move beyond his control, becoming even more frenzied than Uchiha In.
Chapter 284: I'm Sorry, I Can't Be With You
"In-gege, what are you saying? Didn't she just try to kill me?" Seeing the current situation, Sara protested softly from the side.
Although she knew Uchiha In had feelings for Sara, this was a knot in Sara's heart that she couldn't untie.
Sara could forgive Yekura's sharp tongue, but she couldn't accept Yekura trying to kill her.
"No, at the last moment, Yekura clearly shifted her attack trajectory and wouldn't have hit you," Kaguya said lightly as she appeared beside Konan.
Otherwise, Yekura would probably be dead by now.
Kaguya did not say the latter sentence aloud.
"Is that so? Then she probably didn't try to kill me because she was afraid In-gege would cause her trouble," Sara said, still slightly stubborn, but inwardly, her impression of Yekura had changed quite a bit.
At least, the other party was only trying to scare her. In that case, it wasn't too bad.
"Don't be discouraged. Although you didn't advance, there will be another chance next time," Konan said, changing the subject and comforting Sara.
"Moreover, in this Chunin Exams, it's not just the first place winner who becomes a Chunin. As long as you show your proper strength, as well as combat strategy and skill, you can advance to Chunin," Konan said.
"En, I know that, but Konan, your way of changing the subject is too stiff," Sara complained.
"None of your business! I only came to comfort you because I saw how miserable you were," Konan rolled her Byakugan and said.
"Besides, there are already quite a few women in the household. I didn't expect In-gege to actually want to keep someone from another ninja village. This won't be easy," Konan glanced at Uchiha In and Yekura, then said.
After all, in this era, the prejudices between ninja villages were still too deep.
Yekura wrapped her arms around Uchiha In's neck, as if to vent all her emotions within him.
Under Uchiha In's overbearing offensive, Yekura finally shed her outwardly strong disguise.
"Do you like me?"
"You like me!"
The first sentence carried a tone of doubt, but the second sentence was assertive.
Uchiha In looked at Yekura seriously, waiting for her answer.
"Who likes you? I'm just venting," Yekura replied, saying one thing but meaning another, though her expression completely betrayed her.
"Oh? Is that so? Then why do I feel like you're taking advantage of me?" Uchiha In looked at Yekura and said with a mischievous smile.
Hearing Uchiha In's words, Yekura's Face became even redder.
Unconsciously, Yekura gradually shed her outwardly strong disguise, revealing her feminine and gentle side.
"I am from Sunagakure, it's impossible for me to like you."
Leaning in Uchiha In's arms, Yekura replied with a slight hint of loss.
"Oh? I believe that if I want to, and if you are willing, I just need to say a word to the Kazekage, and I believe he will give me Face and let you stay," Uchiha In said confidently.
Looking at the spirited Uchiha In, Yekura felt a dizzying sensation, and her heart pounded.
However, Yekura quickly calmed down.
"This won't do. Sunagakure trained me. If I really stayed here with you, what would I be considered? A traitor to the village?" Yekura murmured.
Yekura still had a deep attachment to Sunagakure, and even if she didn't, her inner beliefs would not allow her to fall in love with Uchiha In.
It was precisely because of this that Yekura made such a painful choice.
"What if I insist on you staying?" Uchiha In's Face showed a hint of dominance, he said.
Looking at Uchiha In's serious expression, Yekura's Face broke into a brilliant smile.
Seeing Uchiha In's concern for her, Yekura felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
However, Yekura still looked at Uchiha In stubbornly.
The information revealed in her eyes proved that Yekura was not so easily swayed.
And Uchiha In also roughly understood Yekura's thoughts.
Yekura had a very deep affection for Sunagakure; she didn't want to betray it.
Otherwise, Yekura wouldn't have made such a move just now.
"I understand." Uchiha In's Face showed a hint of disappointment, and the hand around Yekura's waist gradually loosened.
Since Yekura couldn't make up her mind to be with him, why should he force it?
Of course, perhaps because Uchiha In was used to being overbearing, there was inevitably a little disappointment in his heart.
Seemingly sensing Uchiha In's disappointment, Yekura felt a surge of panic.
She clutched Uchiha In's hand tightly.
"Tomorrow, I'm returning to Sunagakure."
"So?" Uchiha In replied indifferently.
Yekura took a deep breath and continued.
"3505, the hotel opposite Ichiraku Ramen."
"Hm?" Uchiha In's Face showed a hint of confusion.
He blinked, curiosity in his eyes.
"That's my room number." Yekura mustered her courage and gently thumped Uchiha In's chest.
"I want to create precious memories with the person I like, even if we might not be able to be together."
"Don't worry, after I return to Sunagakure, I will remain unmarried for life."
"I'm sorry, I can't stay in Konoha with you, but..."
Chapter 285: Fourth Round, Start
"Second round of matches ended, winner, Biwa Jūzō."
Yuhi Shin Kurenai announced the results of the match.
