Chapter 59: Lian Ye's Transformation

Next, Lian Ye and his two companions were not assigned any missions, and the Rizhan Squad, which had just returned from a mission, was also summoned.

Qianshou Feijian examined each of them in turn for the success of their training over the past year; he was quite satisfied with their power gains and believed that within less than two years they could become Jonin.

By then, Konoha would have a group of High-End Combat Power that he personally cultivated, and they would inherit the Will of Fire, able to be loyal to the Village and sacrifice their lives for it!

Hmm, Lian Ye doesn't count…

Qianshou Feijian does not expect Lian Ye to give his life for the Village; as long as he doesn't go to extremes or harm the Village, that's enough.

Compared to Lian Ye, he still favors Uchiha Jing more.

Uchiha Jing differs from Lian Ye; Qianshou Feijian can see that Jing truly possesses the Will of Fire, cherishes the Village more than anyone, and is willing to bleed for its development.

This aligns with Feijian's philosophy of dedicating himself to the Village.

Moreover, Jing is one of the few ninjas who can rise above clan constraints, unbound by narrow clan‑centricism, and can consider the Village's overall interests, which makes Feijian view him differently.

But Lian Ye is different; he is almost isolated by the Uchiha.

As for loving the Village, Qianshou Feijian sees none of it.

Compared to the Village's safety, Lian Ye seems to care more about his own safety.

Qianshou Feijian knows that Lian Ye's drive to become stronger stems from his lack of security…

Their philosophies differ, and he has no intention of forcing Lian Ye.

From another angle, as long as the Village is safe enough, Lian Ye wouldn't lack a sense of security.

Thus, the kid wouldn't resort to extremes to get stronger.

Qianshou Feijian glanced at Lian Ye training in the courtyard, then turned and entered the study.

He took out the Scroll of Impure Earth Reincarnation and murmured softly, "As long as this ninjutsu is successfully researched, this kid won't cause trouble."

He had long completed the theoretical study of Impure Earth Reincarnation, but had never put it into practice…

After all, this ninjutsu requires a sacrifice to activate, which goes against humanity.

Moreover, meddling with the souls of the dead is a grave disrespect.

If the older brother accidentally discovers it, it'll be over!

But for Konoha's future, he has no choice but to do it.

"Big brother, someday you'll understand my well‑intended motives…"

…………

Lian Ye's face showed confusion, but his hand kept moving.

【7】 Why has this old guy been staring at me lately?

Why has this old kid been staring at himself lately?

He always feels that Qianshou Feijian's gaze hides many meanings.

But he can't understand, and the old guy won't explain.

"Is it because I've been staying at home too long?" Lian Ye scratched his head, "I'll still go out on a mission tomorrow."

Being constantly watched by Qianshou Feijian isn't a good thing, especially since his own identity is that of an Uchiha.

One should know that Qianshou Feijian is the very embodiment of cunning, evil, and a means‑to‑an‑end mentality.

The kind of teacher you have produces the kind of disciple; haven't you seen what Feijian's Konoha F4 looks like?

Although Lian Ye has spent four years with Qianshou Feijian, who can guarantee the other won't do something insane to him?

For example, experiments like Orochimaru's human trials, or Sharingan Arm models like Tuan Cang's…

Damn, just thinking about it is terrifying, right?

————————

Early the next morning, Lian Ye went out to undertake a mission.

This time, their squad's mission was no longer B-rank,

but instead they chose the higher‑difficulty A-rank Mission.

In the days that followed, Lian Ye and his two companions continuously took on A-rank Missions.

Although the missions were more dangerous, the rewards were enormous.

A-rank Missions not only earned more money, but also boosted their power faster!

Missions of this level often feature Jonin‑rank enemies.

The three learned a lot while dueling Jonin.

Indeed, as long as you don't die, combat is the fastest way to increase power.

After all, during battle you can clearly perceive your own shortcomings and work to remedy them.

Of course, if luck is bad and you face a stronger opponent, there may be no chance to recover…

In combat, besides one's own strength, luck also matters.

And Lian Ye's trio has always had good luck; even when faced with unbeatable foes, they can still escape safely.

————————

And so, three years passed.

As he aged, Lian Ye's physical condition grew stronger, and his chakra volume became absurdly high!

Even though his body is only fourteen, his chakra far exceeds that of a typical Jonin.

Even Jonin who are also members of the Uchiha Clan have chakra levels far below Lian Ye's.

Regarding this situation, the person himself feels very confused.

At first he thought all Uchiha were like this, but later realized the phenomenon seemed to occur only in him…

Not only is his chakra astonishing, Lian Ye's recovery speed is also rapid.

Injuries that take ordinary people two or three days to heal, he can recover from in a single night.

Lian Ye was stunned by this.

If there were no appearance of Hashirama's face on his body, he would have suspected that he had transplanted Hashirama cells.

In the end, Lian Ye attributed all of this to the Transmigrator's strong mental power…

After all, chakra is produced by the mixture of mental energy and bodily energy.

Since he is a Transmigrator, theoretically he has two souls, so his mental ability being a bit stronger is reasonable, right?

Regardless of the truth, Lian Ye becoming stronger is a good thing.

Thus, he no longer has to worry about becoming cannon fodder in the war.

The Uchiha elders were extremely shocked by Lian Ye's situation!

They unanimously concluded that Lian Ye is a once‑in‑a‑century genius within the clan!

They must bring this genius back!

So the Uchiha elders privately approached Qianshou Feijian, hoping he could send Lian Ye back to the Uchiha Clan.

How could Qianshou Feijian possibly agree?

If others don't know the reason behind this, can he not know it?

He firmly rejected the Uchiha elders' request, stating that this matter had been approved by the Uchiha Elder, and that they should take any questions to the Great Elder.

Several elders were at a loss for words, because the Great Elder had passed away a few years earlier.

Helplessly, this matter could only be left unresolved.

Actually, the main reason is that Senju Hashirama is in a semi‑retired state, and Qianshou Feijian is the Acting Hokage.

Anyone with eyes can see that the Second Hokage position belongs to no one but Qianshou Feijian.

How could the Uchiha elders dare to offend this future Second Hokage?

Originally, Qianshou Feijian never liked the Uchiha.

If because of this, after the other side ascends, they specifically target the Uchiha, what then?

They dare not resist; they can only swallow their resentment.

But the elders did not give up; they began to have members of the Uchiha Clan proactively show goodwill toward Lian Ye.

Lian Ye felt nothing about this; when faced with the Uchiha's kindness, he only responded politely.

Although he is a Red Eye disease patient, he has no particular feelings toward other Red Eye disease patients.

Since Lian Ye was adopted by Qianshou Feijian, the Uchiha Clan has deliberately kept distance from him…

It is just that Lian Ye himself does not care about it.
