Chapter 389: Qimu Shuo Mao

"Is it really no problem to have Mirror awaken the Kaleidoscope Sharingan?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang couldn't help but frown as he looked at Lian Ye.

Although he knows Uchiha Jing won't harm the Village, the Kaleidoscope Sharingan instinctively threatens him.

He doesn't like the Village having someone who breaks free of control.

"It's fine," Lian Ye said indifferently, "If something really happens, I'll take responsibility."

He knows Tuan Cang's inner thoughts are nothing but worry that Mirror might threaten the Village and fear of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan.

That's a normal phenomenon.

Lian Ye helps Mirror awaken the Kaleidoscope, and actually has some selfish motives.

Two pairs of Kaleidoscope Sharingan can fuse into a pair of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Since that's the case, as long as it's proven that fusion doesn't require bloodline, the Direct Impurity God can be used to mass-produce Kaleidoscope Sharingan.

Although it doesn't guarantee a 100% success rate, producing a few pairs of Kaleidoscope is definitely no problem.

By then there'll be no worry about blindness, and the Sharingan's power can be used freely.

And all this only requires the eyes of a few Uzhibo Diaomin.

If Lian Ye hadn't left the Uzhibo, he might have helped them open eyes for free.

But now, let it be.

If they truly awaken the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, they'll incite a clan coup the same day.

He can only secretly capture a few Lab Mice for experiments.

"I'm going to the hospital to see Mirror; do you want to come with me?" Zhi Cun Tuan Zang asked Lian Ye proactively before leaving.

"Forget it, I'm going home to cook for Uncle, remember to inquire about Mirror's Kaleidoscope abilities, and tell me when you return."

Lian Ye and he left the Hokage Building together, parting at the main gate.

One headed toward the Muye Yiyuan, the other planned to go to the market for groceries, then return home to make dinner.

Just as Lian Ye was carrying the ingredients to the Senju Clan Land gate, he noticed a white‑haired youth standing not far away.

He raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.

"Qimu Shuo Mao, are you waiting for me?"

The newcomer is the future Konoha Bai Ya, the father of Qimu Wu Wu Kai, condemned by Konoha Uzhibo Diaomin, which shattered his Dao heart, and he ultimately chose to end his own life as a divine being.

— Qimu Shuo Mao.

Lian Ye has known him for a long time.

Today Tuan Cang is heading to the Uzhibo, and he is the one providing protection.

Usually when Lian Ye is free, he shares some psychological knowledge with him, which the latter finds greatly beneficial.

The current Qimu Shuo Mao is still a young man, unmarried.

If I recall correctly, Kakashi was born in Konoha year 34, which means there are six years left.

"Lord Lian Ye, I have been waiting for you," Qimu Shuo Mao respectfully bowed.

"Is there something?" Lian Ye asked with a smile.

He subconsciously waved the ingredients he was carrying, indicating he was in a hurry.

"Lord Lian Ye, I'll ask a question and then leave," Qimu Shuo Mao naturally read his hint and quickly said.

"Fine, go ahead."

Qimu Shuo Mao organized his words and said, "Your previous words greatly inspired me."

"As ninjas, we must constantly become stronger to increase our chances of surviving battles, but regarding the heart... it seems we can only rely on instinct to endure."

"I want to know, do you have a method to forge the mind?"

He wasn't asking how to treat trauma, but how to prevent it.

How to proactively strengthen the heart to face future high‑pressure situations.

So he came over again to seek advice.

"Interesting question," Lian Ye explained with a smile, "Most people come seeking answers when they already have problems on them."

"And you, you are looking for ways to prevent problems from arising."

Of course this wasn't saying he was innately brilliant; he had raised the question intentionally or not.

As for the purpose, it was simply not to let this guy be crushed by a few words.

One's mindset must learn from Tuan Cang; no matter who scolds him, it has no effect.

Only a strong, unshaken heart makes a qualified ninja!

Take Tuan Cang in the original work as an example; the Pot King had only one thought from start to finish.

That was to become the Hokage of Konoha!

Even when despised by countless people, he never chose to give up.

With his strong belief, he finally fulfilled his wish, turning from Pot King into Pot Shadow.

Unfortunately, after becoming Hokage for only a few days, he was killed by the mad dog Sasuke.

Regret ended his sinful life.

Though dead, his dream was realized, wasn't it?

"Please, Lord Lian Ye, be generous with your teaching," Qimu Shuo Mao said respectfully.

Lian Ye pretended to pause, as if organizing his words.

"In the ninja world there is no perfect plan; train yourself to accept the 'unknown' and the 'variables.' Even if a mission fails for various reasons, don't harshly blame yourself; relax."

Lian Ye couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

He never expected he could utter such philosophical words.

It really has gotten better.

He worried that Qimu Shuo Mao wouldn't understand, so he switched to a simple, easy-to-grasp explanation.

"In plain terms, it's about blaming oneself less; if an accident occurs, it's someone else's fault."

"If you did nothing wrong yet someone slanders you, it shows the problem lies with the slanderer, not you. Got it?"

"I understand now; thank you, Lord Lian Ye, for clearing it up."

Qimu Shuo Mao listened like a diligent elementary student.

Although Lord Lian Ye often spoke incoherently during lectures, he still learned many useful facts here.

"Such a teachable one," Lian Ye said, nodding with satisfaction.

He considered his own teaching decent, believing he had a talent for educating.

If he became a schoolteacher, he could certainly cultivate outstanding students!

"Lord Lian Ye, I won't disturb you further," Qimu Shuo Mao greeted and turned to leave.

Qianshou Feijian Residence.

"What were you just discussing with Qimu Shuo Mao?"

Qianshou Feijian asked curiously.

When Qimu Shuo Mao arrived at the gate of Senju Clan Land, he sensed it.

Later he realized he was waiting for Lian Ye.

"Nothing much; he came to ask me about psychological matters,"

Lian Ye gave a brief explanation, then carried the ingredients into the kitchen.

Only Qianshou Feijian remained, staring blankly in place, speechless for a long while.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had misheard earlier.

Seeking Lian Ye for psychological advice?

Qianshou Feijian's expression was odd.

In Konoha Village, hardly anyone's mental state is worse than Lian Ye's.

Others only have a little, more or less.

Who can be compared to Lian Ye?

Everyone's damn schizophrenic!

If he didn't persistently treat himself, that kid would eventually be overtaken by his Second Personality.

It seems Qimu Shuo Mao truly developed a psychological issue; we should call a doctor to visit him.

After all, as part of the Village's secret unit, mental issues must be taken seriously.

We must avoid a situation like Lian Ye's.

At this moment, Lian Ye, laboriously cooking in the kitchen, was unaware that someone was questioning his teaching ability.

Otherwise he would definitely grab a kitchen knife and argue.
