Chapter 104: So Fragrant!

Lian Ye pushed the door open and saw a group of people turn their heads to look at him.

"Excuse me, sorry for the disturbance."

Lian Ye didn't know that Qianshou Feijian, that old kid, was holding a meeting inside!

If he had known, he definitely wouldn't have barged in directly.

He never knocks when he comes to the Hokage Office, and has no habit of knocking; he usually just pushes the door open and walks in.

It never caused trouble before; how could he have known there were so many people this time?

The clan heads, seeing Lian Ye entering with a Food Box, all wore gawking expressions.

Instinctively, they looked toward Qianshou Feijian and Uchiha Tanaka.

The news that Lian Ye had completely left the Uchiha Clan had already spread throughout the Village.

A true Uchiha prodigy, yet he had cut ties with his family.

What exactly happened here?

Qianshou Feijian sat upright in his chair, silent, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Uchiha Tanaka noticed the surrounding gazes and his complexion turned somewhat sour.

Are these damned guys watching the Uchiha Clan's joke?

He activated his Sharingan, his icy gaze scanning the surroundings.

The clan heads locked eyes with Uchiha Tanaka and instinctively lowered their heads.

The Uchiha are a great clan; they dare not offend them lightly.

One by one, their desire to gawk vanished instantly.

Uchiha Tanaka let out a cold snort and deactivated his Sharingan.

"Uncle, I've brought the meal for you."

Lian Ye lifted the Lunch Box in his hand and walked toward Qianshou Feijian.

A group of people stood inside the office, making it rather cramped, with no room even to walk.

The clan heads shuffled aside one after another to let Lian Ye pass.

"Excuse me, make way," Lian Ye said as he approached Uchiha Tanaka, "You're blocking my path."

Lian Ye wasn't looking for trouble; it just so happened that Uchiha Tanaka stood in the middle, blocking his way.

The people around stared with gawking faces at the two, all very curious whether Uchiha Tanaka would step aside.

After all, Lian Ye was the one expelled from the clan by Uchiha Tanaka.

There was definitely something fishy between them...

Uchiha Tanaka stood still, looking down from his height at Lian Ye.

Fourteen-year-old Lian Ye, at 1.6 meters tall, reached only up to Uchiha Tanaka's chest.

"Didn't you hear?" Lian Ye raised his head, a bit impatient, "I told you to move aside."

Uchiha Tanaka's face darkened; he felt Lian Ye was deliberately challenging his authority, so he activated his Sharingan.

Lian Ye likewise activated his Sharingan, glaring back unwilling to be outdone.

"It's just the Sharingan, why act like it's unique!"

He was now so close to Uchiha Tanaka that, if he suddenly thrust a Kunai at him, the guy would surely die.

Unfortunately, there were so many people watching.

Missing the chance to kill Uchiha Tanaka like that was a bit of a pity.

Seeing this, Uchiha Tanaka's anger flared.

"You damned traitor!"

If it weren't for Qianshou Feijian, he would already be a corpse.

Watching the two, swords drawn and bows taut, the clan heads started to gawk.

They knew there was a conflict between Uchiha Tanaka and Lian Ye!

Gawking is fine, but they can't actually let them fight, right?

Lord Hokage was still here watching.

Besides, who doesn't know Lian Ye is Qianshou Feijian's adopted son?

And Uchiha guys are stubborn; if this keeps going, they'll definitely end up fighting...

So a clever person stepped forward to smooth things over.

A middle‑aged man with a Pineapple Head cleared a spot, smiling, "Renya Jonin, you may pass through here."

"Right, right, go through here," several clan heads hurriedly made a space.

Lian Ye, hearing that, entered through the opening the few had cleared.

"Thank you."

When passing by the Pineapple Head man, Lian Ye didn't forget to thank him.

Damn, finally someone gave him a step down.

Sure enough, the Nara Clan are all clever people.

Uchiha Tanaka saw Lian Ye sensibly leave and let out a cold snort.

If the kid hadn't been sensible, he wouldn't mind stepping in to teach him a lesson.

As long as he doesn't become a killer, even Qianshou Feijian can't do anything to him.

Lian Ye strained for half a day and finally squeezed in.

When he saw Qianshou Feijian staring blankly at the scenery outside the window, his anger flared instantly.

Damn, he wondered why that old kid hadn't spoken earlier.

The co‑author is acting clueless here!

Bang—

Lian Ye heftily placed the Food Box on the table and, in a sour tone, said, "Uncle, the meal's been delivered to you."

Qianshou Feijian stared at the Food Box on the table and, subconsciously, swallowed.

It's been a day without eating; saying I'm not hungry is a lie.

But we're in a meeting, so there's no time to eat at all.

After delivering the meal, Lian Ye left; the war is about to begin.

He has to be busy cultivating and developing Poison, and has no time to linger here.

After Lian Ye departs, Qianshou Feijian continues the meeting.

But as the meeting drags on, the Food Box begins to emit waves of fragrance.

This makes Qianshou Feijian unable to stop swallowing, wondering what dish this kid cooked that smells so good.

The clan head seated nearer the desk suddenly sniffed.

The Inuzuka Clan head whispered, "So fragrant!"

"You smelled it too? The scent seems to be coming from the Food Box…"

"The Hokage eats that well?!"

"You don't think this dish was made by Renya Jonin, do you?"

"Renya Jonin probably can't cook, right?"

"Pfft, the food Renya Jonin makes is delicious!"

"Hm? What did you say?!"

"My son was once a classmate of Renya Jonin; he told me himself."

A few clan heads whispered among themselves.

Qianshou Feijian heard their conversation, his face a dark line.

He now just wants to finish the meeting quickly and then dismiss those clan heads.

————————

Qianshou Feijian Residence.

Lian Ye returned home and reheated the cooled dishes.

After eating, he went to the Training Ground to practice the Fire Release Ninjutsu he obtained from a senior Uchiha.

True to his senior's legacy, these Ninjutsu suit him perfectly.

It feels as if they were tailor‑made for him…

Fire Release has a large area of effect, making it ideal for the Battlefield.

However, the attack range of Ninjutsu is limited; the distance is usually not far.

In actual combat, Lian Ye prefers to fight with weapons.

Shuriken have a longer reach than Ninjutsu and don't require hand seals.

A Tachi combined with Sharingan Genjutsu interference gives a clear advantage in close‑quarters combat.

Adding Poison to the blade raises the chance of victory.

Lian Ye has no obvious weakness in Ninjutsu, Body Technique, or Genjutsu.

That's thanks to years of hard cultivation…

"Looks like I'll have Uncle teach me the Flying Thunder God," Lian Ye murmured softly.

Once he masters the Flying Thunder God Technique, there'll be no life‑threatening danger in the Ninja World.

Can't beat them, and can't even run away?

As long as there's a mark, instantaneous teleportation is possible.

Space‑Time Ninja Technique is just that unreasonable.

The Qianshou Feijian who invented this Ninja Technique is truly a genius!

Lian Ye truly can't understand how Qianshou Feijian, who possesses such a god‑defying Ninja Technique, could die at the hands of Jinyin Jiaoyin.
