Chapter 217: Feijian's Hint

"Kid, are you really not planning to get married?"

At the mansion entrance, Qianshou Feijian waited until the sister-in-law left holding Gangshou, then looked at Lian Ye beside him and asked.

"Uncle, who can say for sure about such things?" Lian Ye said, "I have no plans to get married right now."

He has no interest in women, at least he hasn't met any woman he's interested in yet.

Instead of spending time looking for a partner, it's better to devote his mind to getting stronger and to research.

Before meeting a girl he likes, the odds are he'll remain solitary all his life like Qianshou Feijian.

Lian Ye doesn't think he'll ever meet a woman he likes; being single is actually fine, every day aside from training and developing Poison, he just cooks for that old kid.

Such days are already fulfilling; there's no need to find a woman and waste time.

"As long as you have your own plan, that's fine," Qianshou Feijian nodded slightly, without further inquiry.

After all, he's single himself, and fundamentally has no reason to force Lian Ye.

From his perspective, as long as Lian Ye is happy, whether he marries or not is fine…

This kid is quite handsome, yet still worries he might not find a partner?

The inherently evil Uchiha Clan, regardless of gender, are all quite good-looking.

With looks like that, there's no worry about lacking a partner; it mainly depends on whether he himself is willing to look.

Lian Ye perfunctorily nodded, not taking the old kid's words to heart.

Marriage is impossible; he'll never marry in this lifetime!

Haven't you seen that Qianshou Feijian hasn't married either?

Since that old kid isn't in a hurry, he doesn't need to be in a hurry either.

Qianshou Feijian glanced at Lian Ye, then withdrew his gaze.

He could guess this kid's inner thoughts with about ninety percent accuracy; most likely, like himself, he has no plans to marry.

In other words—he has no interest in women.

"Kid, don't stay at home all day; when you have time, go out more," Qianshou Feijian said.

Whenever Lian Ye returns from the Battlefield to the Village, he's either staying at home, heading to the Laboratory to develop Poison, or going to the Hokage Office to deliver food to himself…

Such a three-point routine leaves no room for any entertainment.

Feijian worries that if this lifestyle continues for a long time, Lian Ye's mind will develop problems.

And the most terrifying thing about the Uchiha is the emergence of psychological issues; no one knows what he'll do in the next second.

Although Lian Ye's surname was changed to Qianshou, fundamentally he's still an evil Uchiha.

The Uchiha Clan's mental illness is extremely dangerous!

Feijian must never let the kid he's raised from childhood develop mental issues, after all he'll need to inherit the Hokage Position someday.

Don't think Lian Ye is uninterested in the Hokage Position, but he can make Lian Ye want to become Hokage.

At the end of the day, Lian Ye is still too young.

With a little guidance, he'll surely develop the dream of becoming Hokage!

In Konoha Village, a ninja who doesn't want to become Hokage isn't a good ninja.

Such a situation is, of course, caused by Ninja School education.

And Qianshou Feijian, the founder of the Ninja School, is naturally the chief culprit.

Of course, the original intention was to give ninjas a sense of belonging to the Village.

After all, cohesion is the most important thing for a ninja village!

The Hokage is the goal everyone pursues.

In recent years, students graduating from the Ninja Academy to become ninjas each hold the dream of becoming Hokage.

These kids will grow stronger on the path of chasing their dreams, gradually becoming the backbone of the Village, and some may even realize their dream—to become Hokage!

Anyone who studies earnestly at the Ninja School will inevitably develop the thought of becoming Hokage.

As for why Lian Ye is unwilling to become Hokage?

Qianshou Feijian probably knows the reason, and it starts with his five-point grade in Cultural Class…

Such a theoretical score means he hasn't studied the Will of Fire at all, and might not even know what the Will of Fire is.

Making Lian Ye the Hokage would be like playing a lute to a cow.

The kid only sees that the Hokage has to handle endless paperwork every day.

But he doesn't know what those documents represent…

They encompass all matters of the Village, as well as its planning and development.

And all of these require the Hokage to handle personally, so the Village can develop.

Only by developing the Village can villagers' lives improve, and ninjas gain more opportunities to get stronger.

One could say the Hokage is the key to the Village's strength!

A competent Hokage is extremely important to the Village.

Qianshou Feijian feels Lian Ye is very similar to him in conduct and personality, and believes his education and guidance can make the kid an excellent Hokage.

"Got it, Uncle."

Lian Ye didn't realize that in such a short moment, that old kid had thought about so many things in his mind.

Back then, during wartime, the weak easily died on the Battlefield.

To become stronger, he only trained and developed Poison.

Where is there time to relax?

Now that the war is over, indeed he can relax a bit.

There is still a considerable amount of time before the Second Ninja World War.

If I remember correctly, by the time of the Second War, Gangshou would already be grown up, which means there are still over twenty years to go.

That much time would be enough for him to develop biochemical weapons.

Deploy them on the battlefield, and a huge number of people would die outright.

And this so-called Banshen Shanjiaoyu Banzang is nothing but a little brother in the face of the poison he develops—not even qualified to pick a fight...

With Senju Hashirama dead, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can call themselves a god.

Lian Ye planned to go to Rain Country in a while to see what this so-called Banshen Shanjiaoyu Banzang was really about.

…

Seeing Lian Ye agree, Qianshou Feijian showed approval in his eyes.

He knew Lian Ye had taken it to heart; this kid had always been obedient and never needed anyone to worry about him.

"Good that you understand. I'm heading back to the office now."

Feijian, as if remembering something, added with a grave expression, "The documents the Hokage handles concern the Village's development—they're extremely important!"

He wanted Lian Ye to know that those mountains of documents were very important, needed to be handled with great care, and required a lot of time, not just mechanically approving them.

This kid had previously refused to become Hokage, using the endless pile of documents on the desk as an excuse...

Which had left him speechless at the time, only thinking of a counterargument after the kid had left.

Feijian said this now to make him understand the importance of the Hokage handling documents.

This kid should know what he was talking about, right?

Thinking this, Qianshou Feijian headed straight for the Hokage Office, completely unaware of Lian Ye's bewildered expression.

"What the hell is this old guy mumbling about?"

Lian Ye stared blankly at Qianshou Feijian's retreating back, wondering why the old guy had said that just now.

The Hokage handling documents is very important—what does that have to do with him?

If it's important, then handle it seriously! Why tell him all this?

He's not the Hokage!

He should go talk to that guy Tuan Cang about this kind of thing.

Clearly, Qianshou Feijian was overthinking things...

Lian Ye hadn't understood his hint at all.
