Chapter 250: You're Getting Married?

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

Lian Ye spends each day, besides preparing three meals a day for Qianshou Feijian, basking in the sun in the courtyard, and occasionally going to the Laboratory to develop a new kind of poison, all to prepare for the upcoming Second Ninja World War.

From time to time, he cooks a meal for Gangshou, Orochimaru, and Zilaoye.

On days without war, he has completely gone flat.

Each month he only fulfills the Task Gathering Hall's task quota and will never take on an extra mission.

He no longer transforms into a Mission Maniac as before, and now lives a leisurely, slack lifestyle.

Since the Ninja World is at peace now, he naturally wants to enjoy life.

Qianshou Feijian was shocked by Lian Ye's change, not understanding how Lian Ye, who was a Mission Maniac not long ago, became like this.

To that end, he lifted the Task Gathering Hall's task cap, but it was of no use; Lian Ye only meets the minimum standard and never takes an extra mission.

Qianshou Feijian still doesn't understand why this kid suddenly changed his nature.

But that's fine, it saves Lian Ye from running out every day, leaving no one to cook for him.

The war between Kirigakure Village and Iwagakure Village ended two years ago.

Second Generation Water Shadow Guideng Huanyue and Second Tsuchikage Mu met the same fate as in the original, perishing together in battle.

Water Country and Earth Country were both badly wounded, and the villages cannot recover in the short term.

A large-scale war in the Ninja World won't break out for at least another ten years.

The deaths of the two gave Lian Ye a sigh of relief; while they lived they were always a threat, good thing they're dead!

He now has a long stretch of time to slack off.

Qianshou Feijian Residence.

Lian Ye had just returned from delivering lunch to Qianshou Feijian; after washing the dishes, he went to the courtyard and lay on the lounge chair.

"The weather is nice today, perfect for a nap,"

In three years, he has developed the habit of napping; he sleeps for a while every noon.

When people have nothing to do, they inevitably feel bored, and sleeping is a way to pass the time.

Anyway, with nothing to do, what else can he do but sleep?

"I wonder if Uncle Hashirama is still alive?" Lian Ye murmured softly while lying on the chair.

Since that parting three years ago, he hasn't seen the two again.

He recalls that at that time Hashirama's body had already begun to deteriorate, and he doesn't know whether Madara Uchiha found a solution.

If not, the grass on Hashirama's grave must be quite tall by now.

But Lian Ye doesn't think Hashirama would die easily.

After all, he has always been by Madara Uchiha's side; these two together always seem to produce miracles...

Perhaps Madara already knows a way to cure Hashirama.

Lian Ye did consider using a Spirit Summoning Contract to contact Madara Uchiha to inquire about Hashirama's condition, but he ultimately abandoned the idea.

Avoiding unnecessary contact with Madara Uchiha is absolutely fine.

They are implementing the "Moon's Eye" plan, and he isn't joining; why bother getting involved when he has nothing to do?

Otherwise, he might get singled out by Madara and end up an unlucky pawn.

As long as Madara Uchiha doesn't reach out first, he will pretend not to know about it.

People always change...

Don't be fooled into thinking Madara is still normal; as time passes, he watches himself age bit by bit, yet never awakens the Rinnegan.

By then, he might do some crazy things to realize his plan.

And Lian Ye could very well become Madara Uchiha's target.

For example, killing Qianshou Feijian, Yuanfei Rizhan, and others, causing him to awaken the Kaleidoscope Sharingan out of anguish.

Then Madara would step forward to explain his plan, coaxing him to join the team to jointly realize this grand ideal.

In the original, Madara Uchiha tricked Uchiha Obito in exactly that way.

Although Lian Ye knows Infinite Moon Reading is merely Heijue's plot, he doesn't know that Madara, as a pawn,...

Perhaps he really will do such a thing.

All Lian Ye can do now is lower his own presence and secretly guard against any follow‑up moves Madara might be preparing.

Fortunately, Qianshou Feijian handles official business in the office every day, so there's no need to worry about being killed by Madara.

The only concern is the few members of Tuan Cang who go out on missions.

Madara Uchiha's age isn't great yet, and he hasn't reached the point of using any means to achieve his ideals.

For the next few years, Tuan Cang and his group need not worry about their lives.

But after a few more years, that certainty may change...

Lian Ye doesn't dare gamble on whether Madara will strike him; for now he can only stay near those few, denying Madara a chance to act.

He doesn't know whether the deaths of those few could grant him the Kaleidoscope.

The purpose of awakening an eye is to gain stronger power for self‑preservation, but he already possesses enough strength to protect himself, so he no longer craves the Kaleidoscope.

If opening an eye must be accompanied by a friend's death, he'd rather not need the Kaleidoscope.

Anyway, in the current Ninja World, there are few who could kill him.

In three years, his physical condition has improved dramatically, and his defense has increased significantly.

Lian Ye feels his physical condition is now not far off from that of the Third Raikage before he activated the Thunder Armor.

After years of study, he has roughly mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The Flying Thunder God is indeed hard to learn, relying mostly on innate talent.

Although he can't achieve the ultra‑long‑distance teleportation like Minato, he is already quite satisfied.

Not only is his physical condition strong, he also has mastered the Flying Thunder God, and on top of that he has developed Poison.

These items combined make his strength surpass the Normal Shadow Rank.

In other words, as long as he doesn't go reckless, he basically won't die.

Actually, even if he does go reckless, there are hardly any who could kill him.

In the era when the Six Paths and the Otsutsuki Clan did not emerge, there was almost nothing that could threaten his safety.

He hasn't acted in these past years, so others are unaware of his changes.

Lian Ye doesn't know why his body slowly strengthens each year; this change is a good thing for him.

Perhaps this is the Transmigrator's Golden Finger.

He hasn't told this secret to anyone, especially that old kid Qianshou Feijian.

If he finds out, he'll definitely turn into a science maniac to study himself.

Lian Ye certainly doesn't want to become that old kid's Lab Mouse.

Thinking about it, he yawned, his eyelids drooped, and he gradually slipped into dreamland.

…

"Lian Ye, Lian Ye, wake up…"

In the half-asleep state, Lian Ye heard someone calling his name.

"Ri Zhan, what do you want me for?"

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Yuanfei Ri Zhan's big face and instantly felt annoyed.

Don't you know that disturbing someone's clear dream is a terrible thing?

"Next week is my wedding with Lake Biwa; remember to attend." Yuanfei Ri Zhan pulled a wedding invitation from his chest.

"You're getting married?"

Lian Ye stared blankly at the invitation in his hand and asked reflexively.

"Does Tuan Cang know?"

"I haven't informed him yet." Ri Zhan laughed and scratched his head.

"I'll go tell him in a moment…"

Lian Ye watched Ri Zhan's departing back, murmuring softly.

"If Tuan Cang finds out, he'll be very sad, right?"
