Chapter 53: Da Ye Mu's Malice (Another Chapter Later)

There was no danger encountered along the way.

The three escorted the caravan safely to Earth Country Iwagakure Village.

Now is a time of peace; the God of Shinobi Senju Hashirama exists, and there is not even a small‑scale friction among the Five Great Nations.

No other nation even wishes to provoke Konoha's ninja.

Lian Ye and the others completed registration at the main gate, then followed the caravan into Iwagakure Village.

It was their first time in Iwagakure Village, and they curiously surveyed their surroundings.

Since it is a peaceful era, the movement of ninja between ninja villages is not regulated that strictly.

If it were wartime, the moment the three entered the village they would be surrounded by a group of Iwa-nin.

Now only two Iwa-nin are following from a distance, watching their actions to prevent any scheming.

Lian Ye's gaze fell on Iwagakure Village's architecture; cliff‑like rocks were carved into all sorts of buildings.

The tallest building in the center is the Earth Shadow Building.

When a strong wind blew, yellow sand filled the sky instantly.

"In this environment, really won't we inhale a lot of dust?" Lian Ye muttered to himself.

He wondered whether the villagers of Iwagakure Village have poor lungs.

It seems that when facing Iwa-nin in the future, he could try attacking their lungs to see if it works.

"Lian Yejun, stop spacing out; once we finish restocking supplies we'll leave," Xiaochun Zhuanqin urged.

This is Iwagakure Village's territory; as Konoha ninja, staying here too long wouldn't be good...

"Understood," Lian Ye hurried to keep up with the two.

The three arrived at a Commercial Street in Iwagakure Village to purchase the needed supplies.

At that moment, Lian Ye suddenly sensed a malicious gaze fixed on him.

Instinctively he turned to look, and after recognizing the owner of that stare, he was slightly taken aback.

"This guy is..."

In the distance stood a short, stout‑eyed youth with thick eyebrows and a large, red nose.

At that moment the short youth stared at him with a look of disgust.

His distinctive appearance made Lian Ye immediately recognize the youth's identity.

Isn't this the future Third Generation Earth Shadow, Longevity Elder of Ninja World Da Ye Mu?

Lian Ye was puzzled; they had just met, yet Da Ye Mu was filled with malice toward him?

Da Ye Mu shuffled forward on his short legs to Lian Ye, his face showing unabashed disgust.

"Are you a member of the Uchiha Clan?"

Lian Ye heard that and suddenly realized it was the Clan Emblem on his clothes that gave him away...

He wondered why Da Ye Mu harbored such great malice toward him.

"I am Uchiha," Lian Ye neither denied nor could deny.

It seems he should avoid wearing clothes bearing the Clan Emblem when going out.

Although members of the Uchiha Clan are reluctant to interact much with Lian Ye, he is still Uchiha, so he won't receive fewer supplies than other clan members...

Lian Ye is still satisfied with the Uchiha's approach; at least they don't treat him differently.

Da Ye Mu, hearing Lian Ye's admission, subconsciously clenched his fist.

In his mind, the face of Madara Uchiha involuntarily surfaced.

A few years ago, Iwagakure Village heard that the God of Shinobi Senju Hashirama was willing to form an alliance with other nations.

Thus Da Ye Mu followed his teacher to Konoha, hoping to achieve an alliance with Konoha.

At that time, the one who received them was not the First Hokage, but Madara Uchiha.

After learning their purpose, Madara unflinchingly refused.

Da Ye Mu, still confused, asked, "Why is it different from what was said before? Lord Hashirama..."

Before he could finish, Madara, with a grim face, cut him off.

"There is no alliance at all; before Konoha's power, all you can do is submit," Madara said, his eyes narrowed, the Three Tomoe in his eyes turning into a Kaleidoscope. "Also... you are not allowed to mention that guy's name in my presence!"

Feeling Madara Uchiha's overwhelming power, Da Ye Mu was shocked and terrified, yet a newborn calf does not fear a tiger.

He stepped forward and asked, "Can such rigidity really bring peace?"

Da Ye Mu's question displeased Madara.

Since when do even ants dare to question him?

Madara instantly activated Susanoo; the overwhelming force forced Da Ye Mu and the others to uncontrollably kneel, leaving them too frightened to speak.

But Da Ye Mu was unwilling to give up, struggling to rise from the ground, his gaze fixed on Madara Uchiha.

Then he fell victim to Madara's Genjutsu, and from then on developed a psychological shadow of Madara.

After returning to the village, he was downcast until last year, when he learned of Madara's death, he finally emerged from the shadow.

Seeing Lian Ye involuntarily reminded him of that scene.

Thus he developed strong malice toward Lian Ye...

"Konoha scum, who allowed you to come to Iwagakure?" Da Ye Mu's voice was icy.

Hearing this, Lian Ye frowned in displeasure.

This Ai Dong Gua is looking for a fight, right?

Don't be fooled by Da Ye Mu's mere 1.3‑meter height; though he's only eighteen or nineteen, his strength has already reached Jonin level.

If a real fight broke out, Lian Ye and his companions would definitely be outmatched.

After all, he has mastered the powerful Bloodline Elimination called Dust Release.

But Lian Ye knows that Da Ye Mu wouldn't dare make a move.

After all, Senju Hashirama is still alive.

However, the feud between the two sides has already been set…

"You bastard, what exactly do you want?" Zhi Cun Tuan Cang said irritably, looking at Da Ye Mu, "The Iwagakure guys are getting more and more arrogant!"

Since Da Ye Mu was the one who came first to pick a fight, Zhi Cun Tuan Cang's hot temper won't let the other side get away…

"You!" Da Ye Mu glared at Zhi Cun Tuan Cang.

He was speaking with Madara Uchiha; why did this guy jump out?

"What do you mean, you?" Zhi Cun Tuan Cang looked down from his height at Da Ye Mu, "Could it be that Iwagakure wants to go to war with Konoha?"

Hearing this, Da Ye Mu's face flushed red, and he almost couldn't restrain himself from striking.

Lian Ye looked at Zhi Cun Tuan Cang with some surprise, silently giving him a thumbs up.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang isn't afraid of stirring trouble, nor of dealing with it.

Perhaps he truly can become Hokage…

"Sorry, we'll leave as soon as we finish restocking supplies!" Xiaochun Zhuanqin, seeing the tense atmosphere, quickly stepped forward to explain.

After speaking, she hurriedly pulled Lian Ye and Zhi Cun Tuan Cang away.

Da Ye Mu's expression darkened as he watched the three leave, and the Uchiha Clan Emblem on Lian Ye's clothing stood out glaringly.

"Uchiha… someday you'll make us look good!"

He can't beat Madara Uchiha, and he also can't beat Madara Uchiha's clan members?

And that bastard who jumped out on his own, he won't let him get away either!

…………

Iwagakure Village gate.

"You two really scared me to death!" Xiaochun Zhuanqin complained a bit, looking at the two.

She was truly afraid the two sides would start fighting.

After all, this is Iwagakure's territory; the ones who would lose in a fight are them.

"Hmph, that little dwarf was the one who came first looking for trouble," Zhi Cun Tuan Cang sneered.

"Exactly, exactly," Lian Ye said, rarely agreeing with Zhi Cun Tuan Cang's view.

He knows Da Ye Mu won't act, and that the one who could become Tsuchikage in the future still has some cunning.

Da Ye Mu is not a reckless brute like Ai Na…

Xiaochun Zhuanqin sighed helplessly; she couldn't do anything with these two teammates.

With the mission completed, the three hurried toward the Fire Country.

Xiaochun Zhuanqin was terrified all the way, fearing Da Ye Mu's retaliation, but fortunately her worry was unnecessary.

Until they returned to the Fire Country, they encountered no danger on the road.
