Chapter 579
"Lian Ye, where did you get that from?"
Uchiha Clan Territory, the courtyard of the Uchiha Jing family.
Uchiha Jing stared at the pair of Sharingan in the glass container, and was completely stunned.
Lian Ye, this guy can't take revenge for the Uchiha Tanaka affair by secretly killing Uchiha clan members, can he?
Didn't you already kill some Eagle Faction members back then?
No, those eyes... Kaleidoscope Sharingan!
Uchiha Jing's eyes widened in shock, and he asked excitedly, "Did Teacher Feijian help me cultivate a Kaleidoscope Sharingan?"
A short while ago, he asked Qianshou Feijian to help cultivate a pair of Kaleidoscopes, hoping to obtain an Eternal Kaleidoscope just like Lian Ye.
He didn't expect a result so quickly.
No wonder Teacher Feijian!
"What are you thinking?" Lian Ye said irritably, "Uncle doesn't have time to help you now; I got this back during my travels..."
Qianshou Feijian and Orochimaru have recently been busy studying the original source's data on Kabuto Yakushi.
Uchiha Jing wants to obtain the cultivated Kaleidoscope Sharingan, but he'll probably have to wait a while.
"Travel?!" Uchiha Jing's face showed bewilderment.
He didn't know how travel and the Kaleidoscope Sharingan were connected...
Could it be that Lian Ye, while traveling, met a Uchiha with a Kaleidoscope Sharingan, casually slaughtered them, and thus obtained this pair of eyes?
Seeing his puzzled expression, Lian Ye explained his and Tuan Cang's cross‑dimensional travel.
Anyway, it's not a big secret to them...
He just didn't mention that the owner of these eyes is his future descendant.
"You guys really enjoy life!" Uchiha Jing said enviously; they were already traveling the Ninja World, and now they also go to other dimensions.
Tuan Cang, following Lian Ye, could say he's living the good life.
"Fine, take the eyes."
Uchiha Jing, having learned the reason, didn't ask further, nodded and took the glass container.
With these eyes, one can possess the Eternal Kaleidoscope Sharingan, and then use its abilities without restraint.
It so happens that Uchiha Tanaka is about to retire, and the next Uchiha Clan Leader will be him.
Although he doesn't seek power, becoming Clan Leader would ease relations between the clan and the village.
No longer will he have to worry about clan members attempting a coup...
"That old Tanaka, hasn't he stepped down for the worthy yet?"
Lian Ye recalled the Uchiha Tanaka he met during the Warring States Period; at that time they had shared their Ninja World travel experiences with him.
Looking at the guy, he seemed very eager for travel.
"Almost there," Uchiha Jing explained. "He went traveling not long ago, left the clan affairs to me, and when he returns he'll be ready to retire."
At that time, Uchiha Tanaka suddenly approached him, saying he wanted to fulfill some youthful dream, gave a brief instruction, and then left the village alone.
Lian Ye: "..."
Sure enough, his actions in the Warring States Period truly affect this timeline.
No wonder he and Tuan Cang were beaten up by that kid Qianshou Feijian when they returned.
It seems that when time‑traveling in the future, we can't be as flamboyant as we were last time.
Only by staying as low‑key as possible can we reduce the risk to the minimum!
"Remember to tell me when you become Uchiha Clan Leader."
If it weren't for Lian Ye's intervention, Uchiha Jing would have likely died on a mission long ago.
And the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the Village would keep growing until it became irreconcilable…
"No problem, Lian Yejun!" Uchiha Jing said with a smile, "I'll definitely invite you all to a meal then."
When he becomes Uchiha Clan Leader, he'll have to invite his friends to share in the celebratory joy.
Lian Ye nodded at the words, turned, and left the Uchiha Clan Territory.
If I hadn't forgotten to send the eyes yesterday, I wouldn't have come here today.
As soon as he stepped out, Lian Ye saw the kid, whose face was solemn as he looked at him.
Behind him followed a familiar person, a former schoolmate with whom he had a poor relationship.
Uchiha Reifeng, also Uchiha Tanaka's son.
For some unknown reason, he didn't succeed his father as Uchiha Clan Leader, perhaps because Uchiha Jing's strength is overwhelming, or, like Nara Motoya, he has no interest in the position.
However, Lian Ye thinks the former possibility is more likely.
"Fu Yue." Uchiha Reifeng called softly, stepped forward, and calmly looked at Lian Ye, "Long time no see."
At this moment, Reifeng no longer has the imposing aura of his youth; he is unusually calm.
"Hmm, long time no see."
Lian Ye is not attached to the Uchiha Clan; as long as no one provokes him, he won't idle and look for trouble.
At least he has never thought of wiping out the entire Uchiha Clan.
"Would you like to come over to my place and sit for a while?"
Uchiha Reifeng hesitated briefly, then said softly.
Lian Ye's great strength is evident to all; although there were some past unpleasantness between them, it never became irreconcilable.
Moreover, since the next Uchiha Clan Leader will be a person from the Hokage line, he has no reason to keep provoking Lian Ye; a proper outreach is in order.
I'm not asking him to rejoin the clan; just don't add insult to injury against the Uchiha.
Lian Ye's eyebrows twitched at the remark, unsure what this fellow was offering, yet he gave no sign of refusal.
"Alright."
Uchiha Reifeng was startled; he had only said it casually, thinking Lian Ye would find an excuse to refuse, but he didn't expect the other side to agree outright.
…
Uchiha Clan Leader's Mansion.
"Please have tea," Uchiha Reifeng poured a cup of hot tea onto the cup before Lian Ye.
"Have you been staying within the clan all these years?" Lian Ye lifted the teacup, took a light sip, and then asked.
Except for Uchiha Jing and some Uchiha whose names he couldn't recall, he truly hadn't seen Uchiha Reifeng for several years.
"Hmm, staying at home raising children," Uchiha Reifeng said, watching Uchiha Fugao tossing Shuriken in the courtyard, a slight smile appearing on his face.
Lian Ye looked at Reifeng's change, his face showing some surprise.
He hadn't expected a married man with children to change so drastically, as if he had become a different person.
Seems one really can't marry... otherwise more strange bonds would appear...
Lian Ye sat here for a while, then got up and left; Uchiha Reifeng stood at the doorway, seeing him off, then glanced at Fugao practicing Shuriken throws in the courtyard, walked straight into the study, and casually closed the door.
"Uchiha Lianye has left..."
As his words fell, a black-and-white Bai Jue suddenly appeared in the study.
It was precisely the fusion of A Fei and Heijue.
"Reifeng, don't forget Lord Ban's plan," Heijue's hoarse voice said, "Even if you have Kaleidoscope, you're not... Lian Ye's opponent."
Uchiha Reifeng's face was no longer gentle, but returned to its former coldness; the Three Tomoe Sharingan in his eyes spun rapidly, quickly sketching a complex pattern.
"I know, you don't need to teach me how to act."
"Knowing is enough; Lord Ban's plan cannot afford any mistake, otherwise you will never be able to revive your dead wife and brother..."
