Chapter 620: It Looks Like We're Doomed

"Clang!"

"Lord Feijian, are you all right?"

Orochimaru, seeing the situation, asked with concern.

In the Laboratory, a test tube in Senju Feijian's hand suddenly fell to the ground.

The glass test tube shattered into pieces, the liquid wetting the floor, yet he seemed completely unaware.

What a joke!

He sensed Madara Uchiha's presence in the Village!

The crucial point was the two familiar auras beside Madara.

Weren't they his prized disciple Tuan Cang and his adopted son Lian Ye?

The two only went out for a trip, and ended up bringing Madara Uchiha back.

Where this appearing Madara Uchiha came from is worth pondering.

It seems those two guys traversed time and space, dragging a Madara Uchiha from another timeline back.

"Orochimaru, I have matters to attend to; you continue your research on your own."

Senju Feijian blackened his face, took off his white coat, turned, and hurriedly left the Laboratory.

How dare they, without his permission, secretly bring Madara Uchiha back to the Village.

It seems, having not acted for a long time, Lian Ye and Tuan Cang are itching for a fight again.

Orochimaru: "???"

At this moment, he was completely at a loss, not knowing why Lord Feijian suddenly left.

Could it be that something major happened in the Village?

Soon, he linked Senju Feijian's abnormality with Lian Ye.

It must be that Teacher Lian Ye did something again, which Lord Feijian sensed.

Hence he left so angrily.

"Lian Ye Teacher, may you seek your own blessings."

Orochimaru shook his head helplessly and began to resume his unfinished research.

I have to say, that guy called Yaoshi Dou is truly a scientific genius.

When the time comes, we could definitely take him as a disciple…

Konoha Village, at the village entrance.

"Madara… it's really you!"

Hashirama looked at his dear friend, now youthful before him, so excited he became a bit incoherent.

Since Mito Clan left, he has been alone.

Every day he imitates Lian Ye's former self, lying in the yard all day basking in the sun.

Even when Gangshou called him to the casino, Hashirama couldn't muster any interest.

He felt everything had become bland.

Today, as usual, he was sunbathing in the yard when he suddenly sensed the aura emanating from Madara.

He then followed the feeling to the village entrance.

Sure enough, he saw his long‑dead friend from the past reappear before his eyes.

That feeling of regaining what was lost—no need to say how delighted he was.

The moment he saw Madara Uchiha, the gloom in Hashirama's heart instantly cleared.

His perpetually drooping face finally broke into a smile.

"Hashirama."

Madara Uchiha looked at his slightly aged dear friend, his expression somewhat complex.

If he had realized the issue with Infinite Moon Reading earlier, the two wouldn't have experienced those unpleasant events.

He doesn't intend to tell his friend about being duped by Heijue.

Otherwise, if that inherently evil Senju Feijian learned of it, he would undoubtedly laugh loudly at himself without hesitation.

"Just be back, just be back."

Hashirama did not ask Madara what had happened, nor how he had died and been revived.

He didn't care about those; the only thing he cared about was that his dear friend had returned!

Having that is enough.

From now on, he won't have to sunbathe alone; later he can call on the idle Lian Ye every day.

Embark on an impromptu trip.

He could even invite Feijian, since he's retired anyway.

Other than cooping up in the Laboratory daily to conduct experiments, there's nothing else to do.

Why not travel together!

When Hashirama saw Madara, he instantly mapped out all future plans.

"Lian Ye! Tuan Cang! Madara Uchiha!"

At that moment, Senju Feijian, clad in blue armor, charged forward with a fierce aura.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang, seeing this, instinctively hid behind Lian Ye.

Teacher Feijian, it's all Lian Ye's doing, it has nothing to do with me!

Unfortunately, his earlier action was wrong.

Tuan Cang's act of hiding behind Lian Ye was seen by the newly arrived Senju Feijian.

He increasingly thinks that Lian Ye and Tuan Cang are in the same camp!

If Madara Uchiha's resurrection had nothing to do with Tuan Cang, he wouldn't have cowardly hidden behind Lian Ye.

He could have stepped forward openly, cut ties with the two, and stood by himself.

Instead of hiding behind Lian Ye!

It seems they both forgot that fight back then.

At this point, Tuan Cang hasn't realized the seriousness of the problem, which is why he hides behind Lian Ye.

It's just a habit he's cultivated over time.

Little does he know that this very behavior caused Feijian not to spare him at all.

"Kid, I think you owe me an explanation!"

Qianshou Feijian's expression turned grim as he coldly demanded.

Although he was questioning Lian Ye, his gaze remained fixed on Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha not only revived but also grew younger.

He wants to know exactly what happened during Lian Ye's absence.

At first he thought Lian Ye had brought a Madara from another timeline, but now, seeing with his own eyes, he can tell at a glance.

The Madara Uchiha before him is the very Madara Uchiha he knows!

In other words, in a short span, Madara achieved resurrection and became younger.

Seeing the angry Qianshou Feijian, Lian Ye swallowed nervously and instinctively looked at Madara Uchiha.

"Ban Daye, say something!"

Unfortunately, faced with Lian Ye's pleading gaze, Madara Uchiha crossed his arms and turned his face away.

That clearly shows he doesn't want to explain.

Helpless, Lian Ye could only look to Uncle Hashirama, hoping he'd intervene.

After all, he revived his close friend; he can't just stand by and let him die, can he?

Noticing Lian Ye's look, Hashirama understood, gave a solemn nod, and took responsibility.

Lian Ye helped resurrect and retrieve Madara; he will surely persuade his younger brother!

"Um... Feijian..."

But before he could finish, Qianshou Feijian cut him off sharply.

"Shut up!"

Hashirama, seeing the situation, instinctively craned his neck and, unable to help, looked at Lian Ye.

Lian Ye, I really did my best.

All this time, he had no way to deal with the angry Feijian, and could only pray that Feijian would be gentler when he struck.

Sometimes he thinks that Feijian is more like an older brother.

Anyway, it's best not to provoke Feijian now; just let him beat Lian Ye and the other two in one go.

Then I can take Madara back to the courtyard to bask in the sun.

Lian Ye: "..."

You two really are close friends!

Useless at the crucial moment...

"Lian Ye, it looks like we're doomed."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang tugged his good brother's sleeve and whispered.

He saw Teacher Feijian's angry gaze also falling on him.

He knew this time he couldn't escape his fate.

He'll never again be deluded, being coaxed by Lian Ye to time‑travel.

Both time‑travels brought nothing good.

Returning only means getting beaten; this time the beating might be harsher.

"I know, good brother."

No need for a good brother to remind me...

When Lian Ye saw Qianshou Feijian approaching in armor, he realized he was doomed.

So he pleaded with his eyes, but unfortunately they were of no use.

In the end, Qianshou Feijian hung the two on a tree and gave them a brutal Oula Oula beating.

If Hashirama hadn't later pleaded, Qianshou Feijian wouldn't have chosen to stop.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang: "..."

Time‑traveling is really fun!

Obviously, he's already beaten into a daze.

Lian Ye has tremendous regenerative power; Qianshou Feijian's attacks are just a splash of water to him.

But Tuan Cang suffered.

"Good brother, are you okay?"

"In the future... don't... call me to time‑travel..."
