Chapter 390: The Boiling Sheep Arrives on Its Own

The Uchiha Clan has killed roughly ten Eagle Faction members.

The remaining Eagle Faction, after seeing Lian Ye's terrifying Kaleidoscope Sharingan, each fell into line.

They no longer dare to spread talk of a coup to the clan, and tuck away their ulterior motives.

The clan members aren't fools; even if the Eagle Faction dares to spread it, they wouldn't dare join.

They have already witnessed the fate of becoming an Eagle Faction member.

As long as they're not fools, they all understand the seriousness.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang declares that the Uzhibo Diaomin who dares to covet his Hokage position must be forcibly suppressed with Thunderous Method!

Within the next twenty years, no one, whoever they are, may touch the Hokage position.

Tuan Cang hasn't gotten his fill yet.

With no Uchiha Eagle Faction stirring trouble, the Village once again lives in peace.

Rumor has it that Uchiha Jing appears to have also awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan.

The precise truth remains unknown.

In any case, the Uchiha Clan has settled down completely.

Qianshou Feijian Residence.

"Kid, can't you find something to do?"

Qianshou Feijian came back from the Laboratory, saw Lian Ye lying in the yard soaking up the sun, and said irritably.

Someone unaware would think the one who retired because of age was him.

At under thirty, why is he always lounging at home?

Frankly, Qianshou Feijian hasn't been retired as long as Lian Ye.

This kid began a roughly ten-year lounging career right after the First War ended.

While Qianshou Feijian handled paperwork in the office, Lian Ye lounged at home.

When Qianshou Feijian retired to live out his old age at home, Lian Ye was still lounging at home.

This guy is truly dead weight.

"Uncle, you'd better not look for trouble when there's nothing to do," Lian Ye removed his sunglasses and gave him a sideways glance.

This old fellow likely failed at Ninjutsu research and is fuming.

In the end, he sees himself lounging at home, ready to vent his frustration on himself.

The older generation is like that, simply because they have no hardship to endure.

After retirement, one should properly enjoy old age and a peaceful later life.

Unlike this old fellow who idles all day, constantly heading to the Laboratory.

He's likely researching those Forbidden Techniques again.

Qianshou Feijian let out a cold snort and asked, puzzled.

"Kid, you lie at home every day; don't you find it boring?"

"Not boring at all; didn't you see me sunbathing?"

Lian Ye spread his hands helplessly and said:

"Uncle, if you truly have nothing to do, I can help you find something to do."

"What work?" Qianshou Feijian did not decline.

Since retiring, each day has been very leisurely.

He doesn't really like this way of life; he's the type who can't stay idle.

He can only spend each day researching some Ninjutsu to pass the time.

Lian Ye removed his sunglasses, sat up from the lounge chair, and said ingratiatingly.

"Uncle, I have a promising research protégé here. If you have nothing, you could take him to conduct some research..."

"The protégé you mention is Orochimaru, right?" Qianshou Feijian's face stayed calm.

This kid lounges at home every day; where did he meet that promising research protégé?

It can only be his disciple, Orochimaru.

"Hehe, Uncle, you guessed spot on!" Lian Ye rubbed his hands excitedly, "Look at this matter..."

Some time ago, Orochimaru visited Lian Ye, requesting that he recommend him to the Second Hokage.

Qianshou Feijian is a rare scientific talent in the Ninja World, so Orochimaru naturally wishes to study alongside him.

Regarding his disciple's request, as a teacher he naturally wouldn't refuse, and agreed without hesitation.

Orochimaru's scientific talent is extremely high; following this old fellow will certainly elevate him further.

For the Ninja Village to truly develop, it cannot be without scientific and technological support.

It's just that the current leadership hasn't realized this yet.

"Fine, have him report to my Laboratory tomorrow," Qianshou Feijian nodded decisively and agreed.

He agreed to bring Orochimaru along, not merely due to Lian Ye's request, but because Orochimaru indeed possesses strong scientific talent.

Provided he receives careful instruction.

In the future, Orochimaru will certainly match his own scientific genius.

He is wholly the future scientific hope of Konoha Village!

Such a boon, Qianshou Feijian would never refuse.

"No problem, Uncle," Lian Ye donned his sunglasses and reclined again.

Horse nap time has arrived; after waking, he'll go inform Orochimaru of this good news.

Qianshou Feijian, seeing the situation, sighed helplessly.

He could tell, this kid really is beyond saving.

With that lazy personality, no wonder you don't want to be Hokage.

If we had forcefully made him Hokage at the time, the consequences would be unthinkable!

Qianshou Feijian seemed to picture Lian Ye sleeping in the office, with Tuan Cang and Ri Zhan miserably seated at the desk processing documents.

This kid is a warrior, only fit for the battlefield; staying in the office to handle paperwork is all he can do.

At that moment, he finally let go.

He even felt a bit relieved, glad that the kid hadn't agreed to become Hokage.

When Lian Ye finally woke up, it was afternoon.

He glanced at the time and then left the house.

He still hadn't gone to inform Orochimaru of the good news.

Orochimaru's house.

"Orochimaru, I beg you to lend me another five hundred thousand taels; I'll return them after finishing the mission in two days."

When Lian Ye reached the doorway and hadn't yet knocked, he heard Zilaoye's pleading voice from inside.

How did Zilaoye end up here?

That turtle man can't be lending all his assets to Gangshou again, can he?

"Orochimaru, open the door," Lian Ye whispered.

"Coming," Orochimaru brushed aside Zilaoye, hurried forward and opened the door, "Lian Ye Teacher, please come in."

Saying so, he stepped aside to let Lian Ye enter.

Lian Ye, as soon as he entered, saw Zilaoye sitting on the sofa.

"Lian Ye Teacher, what brings you here?"

"I still want to ask you," Lian Ye sat on the opposite sofa, raised an eyebrow, "You haven't lent money to Gangshou again, have you?"

He no longer knew what to say about Zilaoye's sycophantic behavior.

Whenever Gangshou asks him for money, he hands it over without hesitation.

In the original work, Zilaoye is the ninja in Konoha Village who has completed the most missions.

Just the mission rewards alone total several hundred million taels.

Moreover, he's a bestselling LittleYellowBook author, so his earnings only increase.

Yet this wealthy person is constantly short on cash, often borrowing from Naruto or even stealing Naruto's wallet.

About eighty percent of his earnings go to Gangshou to repay gambling debts.

Given Gangshou's gluttonous nature, no matter how much Zilaoye earns, it's never enough to cover the gambling debts.

"Hehe, got caught," Zilaoye awkwardly scratched his head.

Lian Ye: "......"

Poor Tom is once again being toyed with.

"Idiot," Orochimaru said with a scornful expression.

He could only say that Zilaoye never learns, always lending money to Gangshou each time.

"Your Boiling Sheep Sheep approach can never win the favor of Beautiful Sheep Sheep."

Lian Ye does not want to see his disciple fall into such a state.

"Boiling Sheep Sheep?" Zilaoye looked bewildered, not grasping its meaning.

Lian Ye, seeing Zilaoye's foolishness, felt a bit helpless.

With that level of intelligence, no wonder he can't win over Gangshou.
