90: Chapter 90 RestaurantIn the intensive care unit, Itachi leaned against the headboard, with the azure sea and sky merging into one outside the window.
His face was still pale, but the deathly aura between his brows seemed to have faded a little.
Several slender tubes slowly delivered pale green nutrient solution and special medicine.
Tsunade had just completed a high-intensity cell activation technique, and fine beads of sweat covered her forehead.
"The first stage has been stabilized.The chakra erosion and peeling off takes time and cannot be rushed.The next step is mainly to nurture and observe."
Itachi nodded slightly, still somewhat weak: "Thank you for your trouble."
Without the spying of the Dark Side, without the oppressive atmosphere of the Akatsuki, it felt very unfamiliar.
At the same time, two beautiful figures appeared on the deck, instantly attracting the attention of many people on the dock.
Walking in front was Yamanaka Ino, her long golden hair tied into a neat ponytail, swaying lively with her steps.
She wore a light yellow fitted dress that accentuated her youthful and attractive figure, and her face was beaming with a bright smile, radiating energy.
"Wow!It's only been a short time since I last came, and the dock has been expanded again!Naruto is really something else!"
She shaded her eyes with her hand, looking around excitedly.
Following behind her was Sakura Haruno.
Compared to Ino's sunshine, Sakura's transformation is more noticeable.
Her original cherry-colored short hair seemed to have grown a bit longer, falling smoothly over her shoulders.Her figure had become more slender and voluptuous, and even the loose light green robe could not quite conceal it.A faint, ethereal fragrance lingered around her.
"Yes, it has changed a lot."
Sakura's voice was also somewhat soft and sweet, and several porters around her almost dropped the boxes they were carrying.
"Hey Sakura, look!Several new shops have opened over there!Wow!That dessert shop looks pretty good!"
Ino excitedly grabbed Sakura's arm and pointed into the distance.
Sakura let her pull her along, her gaze passing over the noisy crowd and landing on the figure at the end of the dock.
"Oh, the two beauties have finally decided to come back.Did you miss me?"
Naruto walked up and greeted them with a grin.His gaze swept over Ino and Sakura, pausing for half a second as it passed over Sakura's alluring.unique fragrance.
Stop being so vain!
Ino blushed and playfully punched his shoulder."I'm here to change the new season's flowers at the branch and check the orders!And by the way.to see if that heartless guy still remembers me!"
Her words carried a hint of complaint, but her eyes sparkled.
Naruto grimaced and rubbed his shoulder: "Ino.your strength is almost as great as Tsunade's."
Before the words were finished, a fragrant breeze quickly wafted in from the side.
Sakura opened her arms wide and, to Ino's astonishment, threw herself into Naruto's arms, wrapping her arms around him and gently rubbing her cheek against his.
"Naruto.I miss you so much."
Her voice was muffled, tinged with dependence, and her unique fragrance instantly enveloped Naruto, wafting into his nose.
Naruto stiffened for a moment, then relaxed and patted her back with one hand: "Yeah, it's good to be back.Looks like you've been eating well in Konoha, your portions have increased."
His words had a double meaning.
Sakura looked up, rolled her eyes at him, her watery eyes adding to her charm: "Ugh, you never say anything nice to me when we meet."
Ino, watching Sakura practically clinging to Naruto, especially with her ample bosom pressed tightly against him, couldn't help but pout.A strange pang of jealousy welled up inside her, and she couldn't help but snort, "Waist!In public, be mindful of your behavior!"
Sakura seemed to only then notice, slowly getting out of Naruto's arms, and even straightening his not-so-disheveled collar.
Ino, who was standing nearby, stared in disbelief.
"Alright, alright, stop blocking the dock."
Seeing the growing tension between the two, Naruto quickly spoke up.
"Let's go, let's have a welcome dinner for you, and hear about your experiences on this trip."
He turned and led the way, with Ino following on his left, pouting, while Sakura walked lazily, almost touching his right.A mysterious fragrance wafted over, making Naruto feel a little strange.
This Japanese girl, after going back home for the Lunar New Year, seems to have become even more "poisonous"?
In the Land of Rain, in a completely sealed room.
The air was damp and chilly, with only a few dim lamps on the walls providing a faint light source.
Afei, no, he should be called Uchiha Obito now, has taken off his vortex-shaped mask.
His face, which was slightly asymmetrical due to the transplantation of Hashirama cells by Madara Uchiha, was now filled with gloom.
He stood shirtless in front of a huge water mirror, his Sharingan in his right eye fixed on his reflection.
His left hand covered his right eye, his chakra surging wildly as he tried to analyze something.
"Something's not right.something's definitely not right!"
He murmured softly, his voice echoing in the secret room, tinged with a hint of panic.
The operation of the divine power has indeed slowed down!
Although it can still be activated, that instinctive smoothness is gone.
Obito slammed his fist into the mirror, shattering it and revealing his twisted, ferocious face reflected in the fragments.
Even the Sharingan's talent can be stripped away?
This is completely beyond the scope of ninjutsu, or even bloodline limits!
After the panic came overwhelming killing intent.
"Absolutely." He spoke in a low voice to the empty, secret room.
The pitcher plant Zetsu slowly rose from the ground.This time, it appeared much more cautious, and the white Zetsu part was no longer grinning.
"Obito, you're back.How are you?"
"It's alright." Obito interrupted him, his voice returning to its cold tone.
"Keep a close eye on Sasuke's movements.Itachi has been taken away by Naruto.That kid is a powder keg right now, and we need to add fuel to the fire."
Jue nodded and quickly sank into the ground.
Inside the secret room, only Obito remained.
He stroked the mask on his face.
Lin.wait a little longer.soon, very soon we'll be able to create.Let's create a perfect world where you exist.

Inside a private room at a distinctive seaside restaurant.
Naruto, Ino, and Sakura sat around a table laden with various seafood delicacies.
Ino chattered on about her recent experiences in Konoha, gesturing excitedly as she spoke.
Sakura was much quieter, occasionally interjecting with a word or two in a soft, sweet voice.Most of the time, she slowly and methodically peeled shrimp, then naturally placed the peeled shrimp meat onto the plate in front of Naruto.
Naruto listened to Ino's "report" while enjoying Sakura's "feeding," occasionally offering a sarcastic comment that made Ino yell, creating a lively atmosphere.
"Oh, right, Naruto."
Ino suddenly thought of something, leaned closer, and lowered her voice, "When we came back, we heard some gossip that Kirigakure has been making a lot of moves lately, and the Mizukage is furious.Is it because you've been up to something behind the scenes again?"
Naruto picked up a piece of crab meat that Sakura had peeled, dipped it in sauce, and popped it into his mouth, mumbling, "What do you mean by 'misbehaving'?I was acting in self-defense.She couldn't handle the situation, so who can she blame?"
Sakura smiled gently, picked up a napkin, and reached out to wipe away a bit of sauce that had accidentally gotten on Naruto's lips, her movements gentle and natural.
Ino's forehead veins bulged, and the sour taste she had just tasted surged back up even more intensely.
"A broad forehead!You."
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and Hibari appeared in the doorway.She bowed slightly to Naruto and said, "President, there is urgent information."
Naruto's lazy expression softened a bit, and he said to Ino and Sakura, "You guys eat first, I have something to take care of."
He got up and walked to the door, and Lark quickly whispered a few words in his ear.
Naruto's eyes flashed with understanding, and he nodded: "Understood.Keep an eye on things and report any unusual activity immediately."
He returned to his seat, and Ino and Sakura both looked at him.
"What's wrong?What happened?" Ino asked with concern.
Naruto picked up his chopsticks again, took out the largest piece of lobster meat, and said with a relaxed expression, "It's nothing serious.There's just a wolf that's gone back to its lair.It's not satisfied and is secretly sharpening its claws."
"I just don't know if his claws are still sharp."
