Chapter 643: Uchiha Reifeng Returns

"So this is the time-space where that guy is?"

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the Konoha Village, which was more prosperous than the time-space they were in, and fell silent.

According to Uchiha Reifeng's explanation, this period corresponds to the time when Yuanfei Ri Zhan served as Hokage.

But why is Konoha Village so prosperous?!

No, to be precise, other Ninja Villages are equally prosperous.

It is even more flourishing than the Ninja World of three or four decades later!

"Uncle Sasuke, aren't we here to track down the trace of Pu Shi?"

Boruto was equally astonished by Konoha's prosperity, but did not forget his purpose.

Not only did they fail to trace Pu Shi's whereabouts, they also arrived in an unfamiliar time-space via the dragon vein.

Is this really okay?

"No need to worry, we'll leave soon," Uchiha Sasuke said calmly. "After I settle some personal matters, leaving here won't be too late."

The beating he endured back then is still unforgettable to this day.

Except for his brother and parents.

He is still the first clan member he cannot forget!

Wait, his parents!

Uchiha Sasuke instantly realized that by coming here he could see the parents of this time-space!

Konoha Village belongs to the era of Yuanfei Ri Zhan's rule.

Perhaps the father and mother are already married, perhaps not.

Reifeng did not specify the exact time, and Sasuke did not ask.

He subconsciously thought it was a period after the Third Shinobi World War.

Boruto: "……"

He couldn't persuade Sasuke; now that they're here, they can only take it one step at a time.

And also take a look at the father of this time-space.

He doesn't even know if he was ever born?

"Are you actually going in or not?"

Uchiha Reifeng watched the two standing at the village entrance for a long time, and finally asked impatiently.

His original plan was to time‑travel with Heijue to find the optimal time-space to realize the "Moon's Eye" project.

Then return to the original time-space for replication.

But after only a few jumps, that Heijue guy disappeared.

Along the way they encountered a request from a Uchiha Clan's Member, asking them to bring him to find Uchiha Lianye.

Logically, Reifeng could not agree to such a thing.

But the Uchiha Clan's Member before him gave him a very familiar feeling.

In the end, he agreed to bring the two back.

Sasuke and Boruto exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously.

"Reifeng, you really are Reifeng!"

The guard at the gate, upon seeing Reifeng, became instantly excited.

That guy had been missing for years, and people even thought Reifeng was already dead.

Fortunately, he finally returned today.

Uchiha Reifeng originally didn't want to reveal his identity, but thinking of the uncontacted Heijue...

He ultimately chose not to conceal it.

Since he's back, he'll also swing by home to see Fu Yue.

Moreover, the two with him are from the future, perhaps they know the truth of the "Moon's Eye" project.

Heijue's words may not be accurate; he might be using him.

He feels it necessary to find out.

Because three years of time‑traveling adventures made him notice that Heijue seems to be constantly searching for something.

Although it hides very well, prolonged interaction still let him see anomalies.

In fact, he knows everything; he just doesn't want to give up that potentially realizable hope.

News of Uchiha Reifeng's return quickly spread throughout the village.

"Lian Ye, Ri Zhan told me Uchiha Reifeng has returned."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang woke the sleeping Lian Ye and briefly recounted the earlier ANBU report.

"What, who is Reifeng?"

Lian Ye, suddenly awakened, had his mind glitch, and for a moment didn't understand who his good brother was talking about.

Tuan Cang: "……"

This guy sleeps every day; he's almost become sleep‑stupid.

Fortunately, Lian Ye quickly recovered, wiped the drool from his mouth corner, and said with a surprised look.

"Reifeng actually came back?!"

He had always thought Reifeng was lured away by Heijue.

He didn't expect him to actually return!

It seems his guess was inaccurate; perhaps the other party had to disappear for a while for other reasons.

Looks like they'll have to go see the Uchiha Clan tomorrow.

"There's something fishy; the intel says Uchiha Reifeng didn't come back alone, he also brought back a big one and a small one, two men."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang added.

"One big, one small, two men?!"

Lian Ye was instantly bewildered by that.

Uchiha Reifeng had only been gone for a few years, yet he came back from outside with two men!

The point is, two men!

If Fu Yue were to learn this—that his father disappeared for three years and returned with two men—

who knows what expression he'd make?

"How big is the little one?" Lian Ye suddenly asked.

"Probably about the age of a recent graduate from the Ninja World School," Zhi Cun Tuan Zang thought briefly, "The older one's age should be a little younger than ours."

Lian Ye: "…"

A story involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

When Uchiha Reifeng was on a mission, he was gravely wounded and near death, and happened to be rescued by a single father carrying a child.

During his convalescence, hidden feelings grew, and they quietly made a private lifelong commitment.

Fearing societal judgment, he didn't return to the Village for three years.

Now that he's back, he may need to give the father and son a legitimate status.

Thinking that, he involuntarily shivered.

If Zhi Cun Tuan Zang hadn't barred him from writing this kind of novel, he could have used this as material.

The subsequent plot would roughly be the little one battling Fu Yue over inheritance.

The older one bullies Fu Yue, while Uchiha Reifeng watches without intervening.

The more over‑the‑top, the more interesting.

Later, Fu Yue endured in silence for decades, finally becoming the Uchiha Clan Leader, and began a thrilling revenge storyline!

Hehe, it must be exhilarating and intense!

Unfortunately, the good brother Kage thinks it's a bad influence, believes it will affect the Village's future, and won't let it be written…

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang: "???"

What weird thing is this guy thinking about now?

Just by his expression, you can tell he's not thinking of anything good.

"Lian Ye, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing, I was just spacing out earlier."

Lian Ye naturally wouldn't voice his speculation, otherwise Zhi Cun Tuan Zang would bring it up about himself again…

Uchiha Clan Territory.

"Uchiha Reifeng, you're back!"

Passing clan members, upon seeing Uchiha Reifeng, hurried forward to offer greetings and concern.

They all thought Uchiha Reifeng had died out there.

Never expecting him to return today; they could only call it a blessing in misfortune.

Poor Fu Yue, that kid.

Sasuke Uchiha surveyed the Uchiha Clan Territory and its members, feeling a bit stirred inside.

Even if it's not his own time and space, seeing the clan members would still be nice.

Who knows, he might soon see his father and mother.

"Uchiha Reifeng, Fu Yue knows you're back; he'll definitely be very happy."

"Indeed, that kid has been diligently training all these years."

Hearing that, Uchiha Reifeng nodded appreciatively.

Fu Yue truly lives up to being his child!

Even though he vanished suddenly for three years, he didn't fall into despondency; instead, he worked even harder at cultivation!

Sasuke Uchiha: "???"

Did he just hear someone discussing his father?

Moreover, his father seems to have some connection with Uchiha Reifeng…
