Chapter 336: That Feeling Returns

"You all go back to rest for a few days, then later take D-rank Missions in the Village."

At the entrance of Konoha Village, Lian Ye instructed the three of them.

This escort mission took a total of five days, and most of the time was spent on the road.

Guiding students isn't easy; you have to keep them safe from danger.

You absolutely can't be lazy, let alone act as a Carefree Manager.

Even if the three have talent, they're only freshly graduated Genin.

If you're unlucky and encounter an enemy nation's Jonin, you'll definitely end up with the whole group annihilated!

If you're lucky, you might escape one or two, but don't even think about killing a Jonin.

These days, anyone who can become a Jonin has some skill, and the same goes for Special Jonin.

It's impossible for a few freshly graduated Genin to kill someone.

Unless they're geniuses like Kakashi Hatake and Itachi Uchiha, even escaping successfully is rarely easy.

"Got it, Lian Ye Teacher/Uncle!" the three responded.

"Hmm, first go to the Medical Department to find a Medical Ninja to treat the injuries." Lian Ye looked at the most badly injured Zilaoye, "If you don't have enough money, come find me later."

He could never just watch his students lack money for treatment and do nothing, right?

He's not the kind of teacher who lacks responsibility.

"Thank you, Lian Ye Teacher!" Zilaoye's eyes welled with grateful tears.

Having a teacher like this, I'm truly lucky.

Gangshou watched Zilaoye's body wrapped in bandages, thoughtful; if she could become a Medical Ninja, then in the future they wouldn't have to spend money at the Medical Department when injured.

As long as you become a Medical Ninja, you can earn money from the wounded!

That way, you won't have to worry about lacking money for gambling!

Hmm, it's decided.

I will learn Medical Ninjutsu, I will become a Medical Ninja!

From this moment, Gangshou's heart sprouted the thought of becoming a Medical Ninja.

Although the original intention was just to earn gambling funds, that's irrelevant…

The three set off together to the Medical Department.

Orochimaru and Gangshou were also injured in the battle, but not as badly as Zilaoye.

……

Lian Ye glanced at the sky and realized it was still early before lunch time.

So he planned to first go to the Hokage Office to brief Qianshou Feijian about the mission…

He's gotten into the habit of reporting back every time he returns.

Hokage Office.

Bang

The office door swung open, and Lian Ye swaggered into the office.

"Kid, you're back." Qianshou Feijian didn't even look up, continuing to review the documents before him.

"Uncle, why are you the only one here, where are Ri Zhan and Tuan Cang?" Lian Ye looked at the buried‑in‑documents Feijian, asking curiously.

Usually Ri Zhan and Tuan Cang review the documents while Feijian supervises beside them, right?

Why don't we see the two today?

Could it be… they were dismissed?!

Lian Ye recalled the last time Ri Zhan and Tuan Cang were scolded by that old kid to the point they couldn't lift their heads.

When the two mishandled the paperwork, the old kid would get angry and strip them of their positions.

Perhaps that possibility is real…

"Uncle, you didn't fire them, did you?" Lian Ye asked tentatively.

Qianshou Feijian: "???"

Although he didn't know why Lian Ye said that, he still explained honestly.

"They both got an upset stomach yesterday and asked me for a day off."

Otherwise it would fall to me to handle the paperwork.

"Got an upset stomach?" Lian Ye looked puzzled, "What did they eat?"

It seems Konoha Village's food safety education still has a long way to go; some unscrupulous vendors knowingly use inferior ingredients as substitutes!

They simply don't care about diners' health, which ended up affecting Konoha's successor.

We must use the Thunderous Method to rectify this as a warning to others!

The real situation isn't what Lian Ye thought…

"When they went for barbecue, Tuan Cang ate the sauce that Houzi made himself." Qianshou Feijian recalled the scene, his eyelids twitching wildly.

Indeed, he happened to be there yesterday…

Fortunately they didn't eat the sauce Houzi brought, otherwise they wouldn't be sitting here today.

Houzi only knows how to develop such extremely dangerous stuff!

Lian Ye: "???"

Is Ri Zhan still tinkering with the Sarutobi Clan's secret sauce?

Tuan Cang really is… he got caught by that trick over a decade ago.

He still hasn't learned his lesson.

No, Ri Zhan might have done it on purpose!

If Tuan Cang eats the dipping sauce and accidentally dies, Ri Zhan could turn from Hokage Assistant into a Hokage candidate!

Hehe, what a deep scheme!

I almost got duped by Yuanfei Rizhan!

That guy looks broad‑eyed with thick brows, but I didn't expect him to be quite scheming!

Poor Tuan Cang...

Actually, we really can't blame Zhi Cun Tuan Zang for being careless, because he had no idea the sauce was brought by Ri Zhan and thought it was the newest dipping sauce from Akido BBQ Restaurant.

So he ended up unlucky and fell for it.

When he learns the truth, he'll want to kill Ri Zhan on the spot!

"Uncle, then you keep handling the documents, and I'll bring you lunch at noon," Lian Ye said a greeting and left the Hokage Office.

He plans to check whether Tuan Cang is in trouble; this guy can't actually die, so that Ri Zhan can get his wish, right?

Zhi Cun Zu Di.

"Lian Ye, why are you here?" Tuan Cang's face turned deathly pale, trembling as he emerged from the restroom, his walk already wobbling.

—Clearly a sudden Qi loss.

Damn Ri Zhan, actually gave him that thing to eat!

When I become Hokage in the future, I'll definitely give him a good lesson!

We must confiscate the Sarutobi Clan's dipping sauce.

"Tuan Cang, are you okay?" Lian Ye looked at Tuan Cang's miserable appearance and asked instinctively.

"No, I'm fine," Tuan Cang covered his stomach, "just a bit of diarrhea."

Since he ate the barbecue with sauce yesterday, he has barely left the restroom.

His whole body feels weak, but his mouth remains stiff.

"Gurgle—"

Tuan Cang's face suddenly changed, "Damn, that feeling is back!"

Speaking that, he hurriedly turned and entered the restroom.

The restroom kept echoing Tuan Cang's deep groans.

Lian Ye had had enough of watching; he left the moment Tuan Cang entered the restroom.

He is now certain that Ri Zhan did it on purpose!

Meanwhile, the Yuanfei Rizhan household is experiencing the same situation.

"Ugh—"

"Father, are you okay?" the young Xinzhizhu gently knocked on the restroom door.

Father has been staying in the restroom ever since he returned yesterday.

He is very worried about his father's health.

"No, I'm not…" a weak voice came from the restroom, "Xinzhizhu, go tell mother to ask Teacher Feijian to grant me two more days off…"

In his current condition, he can't leave the restroom at all.

"Got it, Father." Xinzhizhu ran off immediately.

"It seems we can no longer study the Sarutobi family's secret seasoning…"

This time we accidentally messed up and almost met our end here.
