Chapter 134: Lian Ye's Trouble

"Uncle, when are we going to the battlefield?" Lian Ye asked suddenly.

Since that old kid told them, they could immediately infer that it was to send them to the Yun Yin Battlefield.

"No rush, you can rest for two days first," Qianshou Feijian said softly. "You've worked hard during this period."

Now that the Village's pressure has eased, it is only natural that the three, as Hokage's disciples, receive some preferential treatment.

They can't just return to the Village and then dash back to the battlefield in a hurry, can they?

Even a beast of burden shouldn't be used like that...

Hearing this, Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and Xiaochun Zhuanqin showed delighted expressions on their faces.

Finally they can have a proper two-day rest!

"If that's the case, we'll head back first," Lian Ye stood up, preparing to leave.

They had been on the battlefield for three months, and indeed deserved a good rest.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and Xiaochun Zhuanqin saw Lian Ye stand, and hurriedly rose as well.

"Wait..." Qianshou Feijian suddenly called out the three who were about to leave, or rather Lian Ye.

"Kid, don't forget the important matter."

His red eyes reflected Lian Ye's silhouette, and he uttered a sentence that had no clear beginning or end.

Lian Ye was momentarily taken aback, staring at Qianshou Feijian with a bewildered expression.

He thought, "What is the important matter this old kid is assigning?!"

But soon, something clicked in his mind, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Got it, Uncle."

Saying that, he turned and left the Hokage Office.

Qianshou Feijian nodded with satisfaction, "That kid is clever."

He only hinted slightly, yet understood the meaning behind the words.

The two disciples were nearby; some things couldn't be said too plainly.

This would tarnish their teacher's image...

"Lian Yejun, what did the teacher mean by that just now?" As they left the Hokage Building, Xiaochun Zhuanqin Ren couldn't help asking.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang subconsciously looked at Lian Ye, hoping to hear an explanation.

Before leaving, what exactly did the teacher's words to Lian Ye mean?

What exactly is the so‑called "important matter"?

How could he not understand it?

"It's nothing, just a small matter," Lian Ye said, having no intention to explain.

He couldn't possibly tell the two that the "important matter" Qianshou Feijian referred to was to have him deliver dinner to him, right?

Considering he's a full‑blown Jonin, not only should he cook, but also run errands to deliver the meal.

If the two found out, would he lose face?

In any case, nobody must learn about this!

Seeing Lian Ye unwilling to speak, the two did not ask further.

Tuan Cang's expression turned complex as he looked at Lian Ye, clenching his fist in frustration.

The teacher even specifically assigned Lian Ye a mission...

This news was certainly not a good thing for him.

It indicates that their relationship is improving, and the teacher is increasingly trusting Lian Ye.

Does this mean the teacher is more inclined to pass the Hokage Position to Lian Ye?!

Otherwise, the earlier exchange between the two would be inexplicable...

But when he thought of Lian Ye's performance on the battlefield, the sense of crisis rising in Tuan Cang's heart quickly...

He almost forgot about the matter of his merits.

The teacher's regard, combined with the battle achievements he earned.

Lian Ye becoming Hokage is already a done deal; he doesn't need to be jealous of anyone else becoming Hokage.

The top priority is to prepare for eventually becoming the Yondaime!

Lian Ye becoming the Third Hokage, and after he steps down, taking the Yondaime position would also be fine.

Just like that, Tuan Cang once again soothed himself.

He turned to look at the Hokage Rock behind the Hokage Building, feeling his future was bright.

One day, his face will also appear on it!

It's just a matter of time.

Qianshou Feijian Residence.

Lian Ye returned to his room, took a comfortable shower, then lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Prolonged high alert left his body and mind exhausted; only returning home could relieve him.

He fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed.

Young people's sleep quality is just great; they fall asleep the moment they hit the pillow.

When Lian Ye woke up, the sky outside the window had already darkened.

He couldn't help but stretch lazily, "That was a great sleep!"

Home is still best; the Battlefield doesn't have such a condition.

Seeing that dinner time had arrived, Lian Ye entered the kitchen to prepare dinner.

The moment he pushed open the door, dust swirled into his face.

Spider webs covered the stove, and dark oil stains clung inside the iron pot.

The pot lid leaned against the wall base; the inner water‑spot marks had long since dried, leaving only a few gray‑white rings of lye.

The spice jars on the table were covered with a uniform layer of dust, and spider webs clung to them.

Clearly, while he was away, Qianshou Feijian hadn't lit a fire to cook.

Seeing the chaotic kitchen, Lian Ye had to start cleaning up.

One person works too slowly.

After a brief hesitation, he finally chose to have a Shadow Clone Jutsu help.

"I hope this Shadow Clone Jutsu won't cause any trouble..."

"Bang—"

After a puff of white smoke, three Shadow Clone Jutsu appeared in the kitchen.

"Clean the kitchen, and I'll go out to buy ingredients," Lian Ye instructed.

"Tsk tsk tsk, just off the Battlefield and already eager to be a black slave?"

"The original really thinks of himself as Qianshou's Chu Zi!"

"Haha, that's hilarious."

Hearing the Shadow Clone Jutsu's sarcastic remark, Lian Ye staggered and nearly fell.

Damn it, shouldn't have used a Shadow Clone Jutsu.

He was about to dismiss the Shadow Clone Jutsu when he heard one of them say…

"I bet fifty cents that the original will get so angry he'll dismiss us."

"No need for him to dismiss us; I'll go on my own!"

Saying that, one Shadow Clone Jutsu vanished with a bang.

"Tsk, boring, I'm out too," the second Shadow Clone Jutsu vanished as well.

Only the Shadow Clone Jutsu that had spoken earlier remained, staring intently at Lian Ye.

"Original, should I go on my own or will you dismiss me?"

"Fine, I'll go by myself."

Lian Ye watched the self‑dismissed Shadow Clone Jutsu, his temples throbbing.

"He actually summoned three top‑grade ones at once..."

Undeterred, he kept forming seals to summon more Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Fortunately, this time the Shadow Clone Jutsu behaved normally, without any sarcastic tone.

After instructing them to clean, Lian Ye turned and left the kitchen.

He still needed to go buy the ingredients for tonight's dinner.

………..

"Why is my Shadow Clone Jutsu like this?" Lian Ye frowned, deep in thought.

The Shadow Clone Jutsu's problem had plagued him for a long time, yet he never found a solution.

The summoned Shadow Clone Jutsu seemed to each have its own mind.

They even outright ignored the original's commands…

Looks like he'll have time to ask Qianshou Feijian if it can be resolved.

If it really doesn't work, he won't use Shadow Clone Jutsu anymore.
