Chapter 60: Uchiha Really Are All Crazy!

"Konoha ninja, do you really intend to become enemies of our Wind Country?"

The border between Fire Country and Wind Country.

A Sunagakure Jonin looked at the three people before him and shouted hoarsely.

"Since you chose to become a spy, you must be prepared for death," Lian Ye said, his voice cold and without a trace of feeling.

Any threatening enemy must naturally be exterminated.

He's not some Holy Mother...

"This place is no longer within Fire Country's jurisdiction; are you sure you still want to strike at me?" the Sunagakure Jonin gritted his teeth.

He was really unlucky; he hadn't even infiltrated Konoha when he was discovered.

He had thought that facing three opponents, he could easily dispatch them.

But once the fight began, he learned that the leading youth was a Jonin, and the other two were Special Jonin.

What the heck is this?

The Sunagakure Jonin turned and fled without a word, but three figures kept following behind.

Both sides chased for a day, and the Sunagakure Jonin was finally caught up.

Thus the earlier scene unfolded.

"Bastard, don't think I'm scared of you!"

The Sunagakure Jonin's plea for mercy failed, and he suddenly launched an attack at Lian Ye.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Explosion!"

In an instant, the air twisted like solid matter into a massive vortex, hurling debris toward Lian Ye and the other two.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and Xiaochun Zhuanqin saw this and hurried to dodge to both sides.

The Sunagakure Jonin's plan was simple: surprise and severely wound or eliminate the leader, and the remaining two would be no threat.

After three years of life-and-death battles and countless crises, Lian Ye had already evolved his eyes into the Three Tomoe Sharingan.

Lian Ye darted backward at extreme speed, his Three Tomoe Sharingan whirring rapidly, the scarlet pupils reflecting the whistling Wind Release.

Lian Ye drew the Wuku on his back with a reverse hand; its blade glimmered with a sharp cold light, carving a half-moon of silver in the sunlight.

"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!" Lian Ye employed Water Release to block.

Although he is not proficient in Water Release, having been raised by Qianshou Feijian for so many years, he knows some Water Release Ninjutsu...

Steam and sand dust exploded in the air, forming a white, hazy fog.

Seizing the chance, the Sunagakure Jonin surged forward, his palm gathering a pale cyan Wind Blade, "Wind Release: Vacuum Blade!"

Several transparent Wind Blades tore through the fog, heading straight for Lian Ye's throat.

If struck, death is certain!

The Sharingan precisely tracked the attack trajectory; Lian Ye darted backward at speed, and his Tachi traced a graceful arc in the air, cleaving all the Wind Blades.

Lian Ye used the momentum of his blade to thrust forward instantly, the sword tip aiming straight at the Sunagakure Jonin's neck.

The opponent's pupils contracted sharply, he quickly formed a seal, and a layer of Wind Release manifested in front of him.

But Lian Ye's sword technique suddenly changed; the blade brushed the edge of the Wind Release and cut in, carving a deep, bone-visible wound on the opponent's arm.

"Got it," Lian Ye said with a smile, closing his Sharingan.

The Sunagakure Jonin winced and retreated, "Wind Release: Storm Dragon!"

The roaring wind dragon lunged with bared teeth and claws, scattering sand dust everywhere it passed.

Facing this strike, Lian Ye had no countermeasure and instantly dodged.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the Sunagakure Jonin had already vanished.

"Lian Yejun, are you alright?" Xiaochun Zhuanqin asked with concern.

Lian Ye shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

Although the opponent was a Jonin, there are still differences among Jonin.

As long as he doesn't underestimate the enemy, a disaster is unlikely.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang frowned and asked, "Yuzhi Bo Lianye, how could you let him escape?"

Lian Ye approached the bloodstain and whispered, "He can't run away."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang followed Lian Ye's gaze and twitched his mouth.

He saw the blood on the ground had turned black.

Without thinking, he knew Lian Ye had poisoned the blade...

Tuan Cang looked at Lian Ye's back and involuntarily shivered.

He didn't know when Yuzhi Bo Lianye's fighting style had changed, becoming so filthy that even he found it disgusting.

The three followed the blood trail on the ground, continuing onward.

Eventually, not far away, they found the Sunagakure Jonin lying on the ground.

At this point, his body was rigid, his face jet-black, clearly having been dead for a while.

Lian Ye looked at the Sunagakure Jonin's corpse and murmured softly, "Seems the Toxin's potency still has room for improvement..."

In his view, the Toxin he had crafted was still too weak.

If the Toxin were stronger, the opponent, once poisoned, wouldn't be able to run this far.

Tuan Cang and Xiaochun, hearing this, instinctively kept a distance from Lian Ye.

They realized Lian Ye seemed to be getting more evil.

Under their gaze, Lian Ye raised his hand, swung his blade, decapitated the Sunagakure Jonin, and casually tossed the head to Tuan Cang.

"Take it back to the Yamanaka Clan and see if any useful clues can be found."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang stared at the blood-soaked head in his hand and fell into silence.

Uchiha are indeed all mad!

Konoha Village, Hokage Office.

"How did you kill him?" Qianshou Feijian looked at the head on the table, his eyelids twitching wildly.

He clearly ordered that the opponent be driven out of Fire Country's territory, with no intention at all of killing them.

After all, this is not a time of war, and some things cannot be taken to such an extreme.

Hearing this, Tuan Cang and Xiaochun lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"This guy is too weak; a single slip would have killed him," Lian Ye spread his hands and explained.

He had no intention of showing any mercy in battle; if he were to accidentally mess up, his life would be over.

Qianshou Feijian's mouth twitched; he didn't believe this kid's words at all…

Seeing Lian Ye's indifferent expression, he subconsciously rubbed his brow and said helplessly, "Fine, if they're dead, then they're dead."

Since Wind Country was at fault first, he wouldn't blame Lian Ye because of it.

Wind Country wouldn't go to war with Konoha over a Jonin.

Even if war broke out, Qianshou Feijian wouldn't be afraid!

"Uncle, will you come home for dinner tonight?" Lian Ye suddenly asked.

It seemed he hadn't shared a meal with that old guy for a long time.

Qianshou Feijian looked at the pile of documents on the table, sighed, "No, you eat at home yourself."

Since he became acting Hokage, he's realized there are so many matters to handle; no wonder big brother is eager to retire.

He's now so busy that he doesn't even have time to develop Ninjutsu.

"Alright, Uncle, I'll finish it and bring it to you."

Lian Ye said, and led the two of them out of the office.

Qianshou Feijian watched Lian Ye's back, a slight smile curling his mouth.

"This kid really didn't disappoint me…"

After years of observation, Lian Ye's temperament hasn't changed much since opening his eyes.

He just speaks a little less than before.

At first he worried that Lian Ye's activation of the Three Tomoe would drastically alter his personality, but fortunately his concern was unnecessary.

Thinking of this, he took the Uchiha Observation Handbook from the drawer and wrote a line on it, "This path seems to work."

————————

Qianshou Feijian Residence.

After returning home, Lian Ye began preparing dinner.

These past years, he knew time was tight, so he fought tooth and nail to become stronger.

But now that he's stronger, he's not that anxious anymore.

"I should rest for a while now."

Three years of fighting left Lian Ye feeling weary and numb.

Every day was either chopping people or on the road to chopping people; no matter who took over, it was unbearable.

"Three years—do you know how I spent those three years?"
