Chapter 551: Want to Lighten My Brother's Burden

Contrary to Quan Nai's expectations, the evil Qianshou Feijian did not launch an attack in the afternoon.

Instead, they chose to have Senju Hashirama lead the Senju people to the Battlefield on the next morning.

Madara Uchiha didn't say much about Quan Nai's mistaken judgment.

In fact, it's not Quan Nai's fault; they had secretly made an agreement with Hashirama, confident that Hashirama's habit of keeping promises would be fulfilled.

Sure enough, they successfully persuaded Qianshou Feijian to begin the attack again the next day.

Only, Madara didn't reveal the agreement between the two, otherwise their younger brother would surely tell them not to associate with Hashirama.

Each time the two communicate, they do so furtively, fearing that their own younger brother will discover it.

Although they have already been very covert, Quan Nai and Feijian are not fools and have long spotted the hidden trick.

They just haven't exposed the elder brother's scheme.

Uchiha Camp.

"Quan Nai, you command the battle from the rear; I'm going to meet Hashirama first!"

Madara Uchiha's voice sounded excited, as if they couldn't wait to meet Hashirama.

"Brother, I want to go with you," Quan Nai said eagerly.

They worry that without them nearby, their innocent brother could be deceived by the evil Senju brothers, especially that guy Feijian, who will stop at nothing for victory in battle!

If they don't keep an eye on him, the brother might be in danger!

"Now is not the time for you to go forward; the Battlefield needs you to command," Madara Uchiha raised a hand and patted Quan Nai's head, worried that their younger brother would insist on following them, and added, "Only if you command can I feel at ease."

"Brother..." Quan Nai, looking moved, said, "I understand!"

Since the brother said so, what's wrong with them commanding the battle from the rear?

As long as the brother follows their commands, the Uchiha can surely defeat the Senju clan!

Seeing this, Madara Uchiha silently breathed a sigh of relief, finally having fooled Quan Nai. Otherwise, with their younger brother present, how could they use the pretext of battle to communicate with Hashirama?

Since it's hard to get a chance when neither Quan Nai nor Feijian is on the Battlefield, they and Hashirama certainly cannot miss this once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity.

Later there may be no such chance again.

"By the way, where are Lian Ye and Tuan Cang?" Madara Uchiha seemed to recall something, looking at the empty tent and asking puzzledly.

The two are powerful; having them guard Quan Nai's side puts them at ease.

Even if Qianshou Feijian sends someone to the rear, they can still guarantee the younger brother's safety.

But now, the people are nowhere to be seen.

"Brother, Lian Yejun and Tuan Cang are sunbathing in the camp," Quan Nai said with a wry smile.

They also don't understand why the two love sunbathing so much, setting up two wooden chairs early in the morning to lie on.

They call it "Enjoying Life."

Madara Uchiha: "……"

Who would send a good person to the front lines just to sunbathe for no reason!

Fine, as long as they don't leave the tent, at least the younger brother's safety can be assured.

After the two brothers talked, Madara Uchiha did not delay and led the clan to the Battlefield to confront the Senju clan.

Quan Nai watched Madara Uchiha disappear from sight, feeling empty inside.

So they went to the center of the camp, where the two were lying on chairs sunbathing.

They showed no hint of wartime tension, as if they were here on a vacation.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang felt that as long as Lian Ye was present, they didn't need to worry about anything else.

They only needed to stay by their good brother's side and enjoy life.

Having been Hokage for so many years, can't they just enjoy themselves?

It's a good chance to enjoy life during this trip; otherwise, returning to the Village would leave no opportunity.

The next time it's this leisurely, they might have to wait until after retirement.

"What a refined pastime," Quan Nai said, standing before the two with a hint of envy.

Being able to enjoy life in this situation shows they often do so.

When they finally defeat the Senju, they will do the same with their brother.

Traveling together across the Ninja World, lying in the sun together—just thinking about it is delightful.

But the prerequisite for all this is defeating the Senju clan!

Thinking of that, Quan Nai's expression grew solemn; the Uchiha are gradually at a disadvantage in the fight against the Senju.

If they can't defeat the opponent quickly, after a few years it's hard to say who will win.

"You're still young; don't wear a gloomy face all the time. Remember, the sky won't fall, so relax when you can."

Lian Ye noticed that Quan Nai only smiles in front of Madara, while with others they always seem burdened.

If this goes on for a long time, it's uncanny not to develop psychological issues.

No wonder that kid Feijian analyzes the Uchiha clan so thoroughly…

It seems that during the Warring States Period, they observed Uchiha members a lot, surely including Quan Nai!

After all, the two are mortal enemies.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang gave a strange look to their good brother, not understanding how such words were uttered.

People have been fighting for years, and you still make them laugh.

Only a heartless Lian Ye could say something like that.

Quan Nai was startled by the words, then gave a bitter smile.

"Lian Yejun says it's just that the brother carries too much on his shoulders; I want to help share his burden—there's no time to relax..."

Older brother is the family's junior clan leader, and the family's heavy burden rests on his shoulders.

I am Madara Uchiha's younger brother, so I will definitely share my brother's worries; as long as they defeat Qianshou soon, the war can end early!

Older brother will be revered by all clan members and, naturally, inherit the clan leader position.

Then he can wholeheartedly assist older brother in governing the family.

Uchiha Tajima thought that with Quan Nai's intellect he was more suitable to serve as Uchiha Clan Leader, and had once declared that he would pass the clan leader position to him in the future.

But he was rejected by Quan Nai, who always believed that only older brother could become clan leader.

Even if older brother is not as good as him at managing the family, he can still covertly assist older brother in governing the family…

Quan Nai's heart is only for older brother; he has never thought of competing with Madara Uchiha for anything.

In his view, whatever older brother has is also his.

Lian Ye watched Quan Nai's serious expression, and his eyes grew somewhat complicated.

If Quan Nai had not died at the beginning, Madara Uchiha would not have turned dark like that, nor would he have been misled by the contents of the family Stone Tablet into becoming crippled.

But there is no "what if"; Quan Nai being killed by Feijian is something that will happen later.

Even if he came to this time and space, because it arrived before the two brothers awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, he could not possibly prevent this from happening.

Moreover, he essentially belongs to the Qianshou Feijian camp, so he could not have killed Qianshou Feijian because of Quan Nai, could he?

If the Qianshou Feijian in his own time and space learned that he was killed in another time and space because of Uchiha Quan Nai,

he would surely become enraged and tear himself to pieces!

Lian Ye came here simply to give Feijian a profound lesson.

After a moment of silence, he then spoke in a deep voice.

"I hope you can achieve your ideals in the future; I'm going to the Battlefield to take a look."
