Chapter 56: Listen to Me, Rest Well

"Kid, do you still have to go on a mission this afternoon?"

At the Qianshou Feijian Residence, Feijian's questioning gaze fell on Lian Ye.

Lian Ye nodded and said, "We didn't encounter any danger on the previous mission, so I plan to take another mission this afternoon."

Generally, if no squad member is injured, after Lian Ye completes a mission he will take on a new one.

If someone is seriously injured mid‑mission, they wait until the teammate recovers before taking another mission.

However, lately the three of them have not suffered any fatal injuries on missions, and for minor wounds, Zhuan Qin Xiaochun can heal them quickly.

That's the advantage of having a Medical Ninja in the team—it saves a lot of time during missions.

So the three of them, including Lian Ye, are on missions almost every day.

Qianshou Feijian frowned a little at Lian Ye's words and asked, "You just got back, and you have to leave again?"

At this rate of taking missions, the kid is almost a model worker at the Task Gathering Hall.

"Uncle, is there a problem?" Lian Ye asked, a little bewildered. If he doesn't go out on missions, how will he get stronger?

If his strength is insufficient and he later dies in war, what then?

He always feels that the old kid doesn't want him to take missions…

Noticing Lian Ye's expression, Qianshou Feijian said earnestly:

"Doing missions is good, but you must also rest. Human energy is limited; your mission frequency is too high and without sufficient rest, it's extremely dangerous!"

Hearing that, Lian Ye was slightly taken aback.

He thought Qianshou Feijian made sense; constantly taking missions without enough rest is indeed improper.

After all, missions are tedious and dangerous work.

Prolonged exposure to such high‑pressure conditions can inevitably lead to mental issues.

In this regard, Lian Ye really hadn't considered it.

He thought to himself, "Qianshou Feijian truly is a seasoned veteran, able to pinpoint my problem in one strike."

Seeing that Lian Ye seemed to have taken it in, Qianshou Feijian seized the moment and said, "Listen to me… taking a few days off to rest before the next mission isn't too late."

"Yeah, Uncle is right!" Lian Ye replied seriously, "I'll go tell Tuan Cang and Xiaochun right now."

"Good, as long as you understand," Qianshou Feijian said, somewhat relieved.

He watched Lian Ye rush away and mused, "Finally managed to fool that kid, not easy…"

In truth, he hadn't had Lian Ye's cooking in a long time; the noon meal was unsatisfying, which is why he coaxed Lian Ye to stay.

Besides, it had been a long time since he studied the Uchiha body.

Thinking of that, he took out the Uchiha Observation Handbook, which showed that the last experiment was half a year ago.

Since Lian Ye became a ninja, he has had few chances to study Lian Ye…

————————

"Lian Ye, are you serious? No missions for a while?!"

In Zhi Cun Zu Di, Tuan Cang clenched his fists excitedly, his body trembling slightly—a sign of extreme joy.

If Lian Ye weren't here, he would have thrown his arms up and laughed out loud.

Damn it, finally can rest!

At first, when he saw Lian Ye approach, he thought he'd be ordered to take another mission, but instead got this joyous news!!!

Actually, Tuan Cang doesn't hate missions, but they can't be done every day, right?

Unless someone is seriously injured, there's no rest at all.

At this mission frequency, even a Jonin couldn't endure, yet their squad kept it up for a whole year!

On the Task Gathering Hall's leaderboard, their squad shot to a cliff‑edge first place.

In one year they completed two hundred missions!

"Tuan Cang, I understand why you can't take missions, but Uncle Feijian is right; we really should rest for a while." Lian Ye, seeing Tuan Cang's trembling, thought he was angry and quickly offered comfort.

Tuan Cang heard that and looked at Lian Ye in disbelief.

He was so shocked he couldn't speak; that bastard actually said something sensible?

Goddamn it, can you understand my feelings?!

If you could understand my feelings, you wouldn't take missions every day!

"Tuan Cang, rest well during this time; we'll make up the missions later." Lian Ye patted Tuan Cang's shoulder.

He was very satisfied with teammates Tuan Cang and Xiaochun; both, like him, kept striving to become stronger.

Tuan Cang: "???"

He kept replaying Lian Ye's words before he left, falling into a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally came to his senses, looked toward the horizon, his expression complex: "Maybe I really should run away…"

Tuan Cang felt that if this continued, he'd die of exhaustion before he even got stronger.

Uchiha Lian Ye, that bastard, really doesn't treat us like people!

No, that bastard also doesn't consider himself a person…

————————

After notifying the two, Lian Ye returned to Senju Clan Land.

He was absent‑minded on the way; accustomed to constantly taking missions, the sudden relaxation felt odd.

So he began practicing swordsmanship on the Training Ground.

Qianshou Feijian saw this and didn't know what to say.

Is this kid perhaps too diligent?

Lian Ye's obsession with getting stronger even shocked him.

"I hope you can stay true to your heart and not go astray," Qianshou Feijian's eyes flickered, "Otherwise I will show no mercy…"

Through his research on Lian Ye, he discovered that the Sharingan is not merely a visual-type Kekkei Genkai; its power stems from the Uchiha Clan's intense emotional fluctuations, especially negative emotions.

As the Sharingan evolves, it grants the user great power while continuously corroding their body and spirit.

From this, Qianshou Feijian reached a conclusion, 【Uchiha Clan's Members opening their eyes too early is not a good thing.】

"Overly great power distorts the human heart, and the power of the Sharingan is precisely the root that drives the Uchiha toward madness."

Qianshou Feijian turned and entered the study, took out a notebook and wrote a line, "The Sharingan is a gift from the gods, but also a curse. Konoha must constantly beware of this power lest it repeat Madara Uchiha's fate."

He slowly closed the notebook, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes, "Kid, you must never disappoint me…"

Although over the years he has been fairly satisfied with Lian Ye's performance, no one can guarantee that Lian Ye will still keep his heart after unlocking the Three Tomoe.

Or perhaps those eyes have awakened…

If Lian Ye cannot stay true to his heart, then he will have to deal with him personally, snuffing the danger out in the cradle.

He absolutely will not allow any threat to the Village's existence!

Between the Village and Lian Ye, Qianshou Feijian would choose the Village without hesitation.

At that moment, Lian Ye's shout came from outside the house.

"Uncle, it's time to eat."

ps: Everyone, I'm useless, the third shift is too hard, I can't do it!
