Chapter 306: Kid, You're Back?!

In Fire Country, in the cave where the Fake Death duo once lived for a long time.

"Lian Ye, you go back first and gauge Mito Clan's attitude," Senju Hashirama instructed Lian Ye. "You must tell her the reason—it's that you forgot to tell me, not that I don't want to go back!"

Hashirama didn't dare to go back before learning Mito Clan's attitude. If Mito Clan were still angry, wouldn't he be beaten to death by his furious wife when he got home?

He can only have Lian Ye explain clearly first, then he will return home to see Mito Clan. This matter truly can't be blamed on him; if anyone is at fault, it's Lian Ye for forgetting.

He hopes Lian Ye can tell Mito Clan the entire course of events; otherwise he will truly be doomed.

"How ugly, Hashirama," Madara Uchiha taunted at the right moment.

Back when he hadn't left Konoha, Hashirama often stayed by his side, and upon returning home he was frequently scolded by Xuanwo Mizuto.

But Hashirama, that guy, remembers the eating but not the beating, and the next day he was hanging around with him again.

Madara Uchiha could no longer stand it, telling Hashirama to go home whenever he had time, and stop following him all day long!

Consequently, Hashirama instantly felt as aggrieved as a scolded young wife, was utterly repulsed by him, and from then on Uchiha never meddled in Hashirama's family matters…

"Uchiha, stop adding fuel to the fire," Hashirama sighed helplessly. He had no mind to discuss with his close friend, his thoughts were all on worrying about his upcoming fate.

"Tch," Madara Uchiha sneered, curled his lip, and said nothing more.

"Lian Ye, you go back first," Hashirama couldn't help but say, "You must tell Mito Clan the truth!"

"Got it, Uncle Hashirama," Lian Ye nodded seriously.

Speaking honestly? What a joke!

Can one really say they forgot something so important?

At this point, the only one to be aggrieved is Uncle Hashirama.

Attention, I'm about to start lying!

……

"Kid, you're back?!"

In the Hokage Office, Qianshou Feijian saw Lian Ye appear before him and instantly couldn't sit still.

He instinctively looked at the few remaining calendar pages on the wall and showed a relieved expression.

Not bad, not bad.

This kid even knows to come back a few days early!

From today onward, he no longer has to eat Soldier's Ration Pills or the seemingly nutritious yet actually empty stomach‑nourishing meals.

From now on, every meal can be Lian Ye's homemade delicacies!

Now that's real life!

Although he hasn't tasted the delicacies yet, he feels his body full of vigor and can finish all the documents on the desk in one go.

"Uncle, why are you so haggard?" Lian Ye looked at Qianshou Feijian's sunken cheeks, instinctively furrowed his brow, "You're already well into your years and still don't know moderation; problems will arise sooner or later!"

Qianshou Feijian, hearing the previous words, felt a bit emotional; this kid has truly grown up!

But the following remark instantly froze the expression on his face.

What does it mean... not knowing moderation?!

"Kid, what do you mean by that?" Qianshou Feijian's forehead veins bulged; he was swamped in the office every day, yet this kid says he doesn't know moderation!

Defamation, it's pure defamation!

"Tsk tsk, seeing you so feeble yet still trying to argue," Lian Ye shook his head helplessly, "Fine, I'll make you a nourishing medicinal dish for lunch."

He's almost fifty and still doesn't pay attention to his health; if he ever dies on a woman's womb, there'll be some fun to watch.

Shocking! The Second Hokage of Konoha Village died on a woman's womb last night!

If it really comes to this, even if Qianshou Feijian dies, when Impure Earth Reincarnation occurs in the future, he'll still be whipped by the world as a Whip Corpse…

Qianshou Feijian: "……"

Although he wanted to retort, faced with the nourishing medicinal dish, his defensive words were silently swallowed.

His appetite has been poor lately; indeed, he needs to eat some nourishing medicinal food.

"Kid, cook it a bit softer; my appetite has been poor lately," Qianshou Feijian added.

"Got it, Uncle," Lian Ye waved his hand, "Eat fewer Soldier's Ration Pills."

Clearly, this old kid's stomach suffers from long-term use of Soldier's Ration Pills; those can supplement the body but can't be used as meals!

Soldier's Ration Pills only maintain normal bodily functions; as for nutrition, they hardly count.

Eating this every day, combined with high‑intensity work, living past fifty is already considered longevity.

Saying that, he left the Hokage Office.

He still has to embellish the situation to Aunt Mizuto, so where does he have time to chat here with Qianshou Feijian?

"This kid..." Qianshou Feijian watched Lian Ye's departing back, murmuring, "Who let you, kid, be away from the village for so long?"

If this kid hadn't left the village, he wouldn't have to eat Soldier's Ration Pills every day!

……

Hashirama Residence.

"Aunt Mizuto, I'm back!" Lian Ye began his performance as soon as he entered the courtyard.

"Lian Ye, you're back," Xuanwo Mizuto smiled, "Didn't you encounter that guy on the way? It's been half a year, how come I haven't seen anyone?"

Although she showed a gentle smile, her tone was filled with reproach.

She had reminded Lian Ye before he left, yet after half a year, Hashirama still hadn't been seen.

Having made her wait that long, it's no wonder she harbored resentment.

Lian Ye thought Uncle Hashirama was almost doomed; Aunt Mizuto treated him this way, let alone Uncle Hashirama...

Fortunately, he had already prepared a response.

"Aunt Mizuto, actually I already met Uncle Hashirama," Lian Ye explained, "but I didn't pass your words on to him..."

"Why?" Xuanwo Mizuto asked, puzzled.

"I want to know whether Uncle Hashirama would voluntarily suggest returning to the village to see you, but I've been by his side for several months, and he never once brought it up…"

Lian Ye, looking distressed, said, "Uncle Hashirama gambles at the casino every day; he never mentioned you at all!"

"I couldn't stand watching any longer, so a few days before returning to the village I relayed your words to Uncle Hashirama."

"So that's how it is," Xuanwo Mizuto Silver Fang clenched his teeth, "That guy Hashirama is really out of line!"

"Lian Ye, where is he now?"

"Since he won't come looking for me, I'll go find him!"

Xuanwo Mizuto was truly angry; Hashirama never fulfilled his duties as a husband, spending every day hanging out with Madara Uchiha.

Lian Ye knew he was safe, but Uncle Hashirama was doomed.

As the saying goes, a dead fellow Daoist does not die, a poor Daoist…

Even if he forgets Aunt Mizuto's request, Uncle Hashirama still bears responsibility.

"Aunt Mizuto, calm down for now; in two days I'll go fetch Uncle Hashirama," Lian Ye hurriedly urged.

"As for why it has to be two days?"

Because Aunt Mizuto is still angry; if we let Uncle Hashirama come now, he'll definitely get beaten to death…

"Hmm, I understand, Lian Ye," Xuanwo Mizuto calmed down.

At that moment, a baby's wail suddenly echoed from inside the house.

Lian Ye: "???"

……

……

ps: Updated three hours early today; you didn't see it coming, huh? Hehehe…

Thanks to everyone for the gifts, love you all!
