Chapter 403: Death Site of the Group's Treasure

Iron Country, in a mansion.

"Lord Ban, Uncle Hashirama, I'm here to see you!" Lian Ye walked into the courtyard with a smile on his face.

Konoha Village can be said to be getting by.

For now we can only lay low here, and after some time when the heat cools down we'll return.

Otherwise we'd definitely be held accountable by the raging Qianshou Feijian and Uchiha Tanaka.

It would affect the Senju and Uchiha families' reputations.

This matter probably can't be settled without paying a hundred to eight hundred million.

Had we known earlier, we would have been more discreet and not mentioned the specific family backgrounds of the male and female leads.

"Lian Ye, you finally came to see us!"

Only to see Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha lying in the courtyard sunbathing, and Hashirama, upon seeing Lian Ye arrive, excitedly got up from his chair.

Some time ago in Whirlpool Country, he wanted to go out to meet Lian Ye.

Who could have expected that Konoha's ANBU were constantly nearby, leaving no chance for a private meeting.

He could only watch helplessly as Lian Ye and his party departed.

"Isn't this to come see you?"

Lian Ye laughed and reclined on the lounge chair beside Hashirama.

This chair was purchased a few years ago.

I didn't expect the two of them never put it away; it remains as it was.

"How long do you plan to stay this time?"

Madara Uchiha turned his head to look at the newly reclined Lian Ye.

If he hadn't failed to awaken the Rinnegan, how could this kid be so relaxed?

Strangely enough, he always feels he's just a little short.

It's been over twenty years since he stitched Hashirama's flesh together.

Yet he still hasn't awakened the Rinnegan.

Madara Uchiha is somewhat irritated by this; if it continues, he won't be able to personally implement the "Moon's Eye" plan.

After a few years, his power has been greatly diminished.

However, there is a premonition deep within.

Perhaps, before long, he'll be able to awaken those eyes!

"I plan to stay here for a few months."

Lian Ye put on sunglasses, rested his hands behind his head, and enjoyed a sunbath.

Madara Uchiha and Senju Hashirama showed surprise, apparently not expecting him to stay that long.

"Lian Ye, honestly, did you cause trouble in the Village?" Hashirama asked curiously.

Otherwise there's no way to explain why Lian Ye is staying that long.

Moreover, Feijian couldn't possibly agree to let him leave the Village for months.

Unless he caused a major disaster and then escaped from Feijian in secret.

Hashirama knows Feijian's temperament very well.

Lian Ye's mouth twitched slightly, a surprise in his heart.

When did Uncle Hashirama become clever?

He pretended nothing had happened, laughed and chuckled.

"There's nothing else, I just wanted to come see you."

"Really?" Hashirama showed suspicion, feeling the kid wasn't being truthful.

"Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to you?"

Lian Ye couldn't reveal the truth, so he insisted that what he said was true.

Fortunately, Uncle Hashirama is easy to fool, and he didn't press further.

"Kid, since you're here, it's perfect to spar with me."

Madara Uchiha suddenly said in a deep voice.

These years Ban has clearly felt his own strength severely declining, and wants to fight Lian Ye.

He wants to know exactly how far his strength has dropped.

Senju Hashirama and Lian Ye looked utterly bewildered.

"Me?" Lian Ye said blankly, pointing at himself.

"Ban Daye, what are you up to today?"

Why suddenly think of having me spar with him.

"Exactly, fight me!"

Madara Uchiha stood up, looked down from above at Lian Ye, then took off his sunglasses to reveal a pair of crimson Three Tomoe Sharingan.

"Ban, that's not good, right?" Hashirama said weakly.

A close friend is now old; maybe he really can't beat Lian Ye.

If he loses, given his temperament he'll definitely sulk alone.

"Hashirama, none of your business."

Madara Uchiha snorted coldly, his gaze fixed on Lian Ye the whole time.

"Kid, are you willing?"

"Of course, no problem." Lian Ye's face broke into a brilliant smile.

Although I don't know why Ban Daye brought this up, it does provide a chance to test Ban Daye's strength.

If Lord Ban is too weak.

Then, sorry, I'll have to strike with a heavy punch.

Three punches to shatter his Infinite Moon Reading dream!

After decades of restraint, whether it succeeds now depends on today.

Even if we lose, it's fine; at most we wait another ten years.

The current Ban Daye can indeed be said to be old yet vigorous.

Lian Ye really has no clue.

"Then come with me." Madara Uchiha turned and left.

"Lian Ye, why did you agree?" Senju Hashirama asked, somewhat displeased.

If Madara loses, it would definitely be a troublesome matter.

He thinks the current Lian Ye has awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, and he's still in his prime.

But Madara is already in his sixties.

A punch is no match for the young and strong.

He has no idea whether his friend can beat Lian Ye.

"Lian Ye, if Madara is outmatched later, remember to pour some water."

Senju Hashirama leaned close to Lian Ye's ear and whispered.

"Madara is a very prideful person; you understand what I mean, right?"

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

"Hashirama!" Madara Uchiha, who was at the front, said coldly.

"Hahaha, I'm here."

Senju Hashirama awkwardly scratched his head and hurried to follow.

It seems his little thought has been discovered.

The battle site can't be in a town; we must find a desolate, uninhabited spot.

Otherwise, being discovered by others would be bad.

Lian Ye followed Madara Uchiha all the way, and suddenly found the stone bridge ahead somewhat familiar.

He instinctively stopped, looking around at the scenery.

This looks like the place in the original where Sasuke walked with Tuan Cang!

The stone bridge ahead clearly looks newly repaired.

Unexpectedly, the stone bridge was already repaired at this time.

Tsk tsk, should have brought a camera to take pictures.

Later we could paste the photos in the Hokage Office.

The Ninja World's tech tree is oddly twisted.

But now cameras have already appeared.

Lian Ye bought a few a few years ago.

"What's up, Lian Ye?" Senju Hashirama asked puzzledly.

This is fine, why is Lian Ye staring blankly at a stone bridge?

"Nothing." Lian Ye shook his head, dispelling the thought.

Later, when we have time, we'll come back here to take photos.

Tuan Cang's future death place feels rather commemorative.

He plans to buy this bridge when he returns.

And put up a sign on it.

The sign would read "I miss you at Four-Image Great Bridge" or "I walk with you at Four-Image Great Bridge."

The reason it's called Four-Image Great Bridge is because Guo Wang used the Four-Image seal to destroy the bridge together.

Hence it was named "Four-Image Great Bridge."

Madara Uchiha saw the malicious amusement on Lian Ye's face and frowned slightly.

What is this kid scheming now?

However, he didn't mind; sparring is the main purpose.

"Let's go, kid."

"Coming, Lord Ban."

Lian Ye replied, gave one last glance at Four-Image Great Bridge, then followed.

Soon Madara Uchiha led Lian Ye to a barren mountain range.

"Here it is."

Madara Uchiha turned to look at the eager Lian Ye, his mouth twitching slightly.

This kid seems a bit excited, huh?
