White Six Chapter 45: The Unburdened Gale

Zhi Cun's mansion.

"Lord Ban and Uncle Hashirama?"

Lian Ye woke up and found that the two were missing.

It should be noted that they usually nap longer than he does.

But today they were gone, which was indeed odd.

"They went shopping," Zhi Cun Tuan Cang explained.

To be precise, Madara Uchiha was going to buy desserts for Quan Nai, and Hashirama cheerfully followed.

Just after they left, Ri Zhan notified the ANBU to come and report.

"Shopping?" Lian Ye yawned, "They didn't even invite me; that's really disappointing."

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang: "……"

Actually, Senju Hashirama originally wanted to wake Lian Ye, but Madara Uchiha saw him sleeping like a pig and didn't let Hashirama wake him.

Bang bang bang

Just then, the courtyard gate was gently knocked.

Lian Ye and Zhi Cun Tuan Cang stared at each other, unable to hide their surprise.

"Who is it?"

The main door was only ajar; if Madara Uchiha and Senju Hashirama returned, they would simply push the door open and never bother knocking.

But now someone knocked, which means the visitor is either a stranger or someone with a casual relationship.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang opened the door and was stunned to see three people standing at the entrance.

Uchiha Reifeng, Sasuke Uchiha, and... a yellow‑haired kid he had never seen.

"You..."

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

He hadn't expected someone from a future timeline to travel into their era.

He had always been the one time‑traveling; this was his first encounter with another time‑traveler.

Moreover, judging by Sasuke Uchiha's demeanor, he seemed to be here to avenge an old grudge.

Because his good brother caused so many sins when time‑traveling, he dared not confirm which timeline's Sasuke this was.

"Uchiha Lianye, are you here?"

Sasuke Uchiha was the first to speak, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

As he spoke, he instinctively clenched his fist.

The grudge from over a decade ago could finally be avenged!

He endured a vicious beating at sixteen, which he still cannot forget.

"Who is looking for me?"

Lian Ye felt the voice was familiar, rose from his chair, and walked to the doorway to ask curiously.

He was met with Sasuke Uchiha's excited gaze.

Lian Ye: "……"

"Why is this guy here?"

Right, he should have come with Pu Shi.

He startled me; I thought he came specifically to take revenge on me.

For a moment, he thought it was Er Zhu Zi, who once beat him at the Five Kage Summit, coming for vengeance.

He realized he was probably overthinking.

Such coincidences don't happen; don't scare yourself.

"You're here to ask about Pu Shi's whereabouts, aren't you?"

Lian Ye spoke first: "Ban Daye severely injured him; now we don't know where he's hiding, barely surviving."

Sasuke Uchiha: "???"

Bo Ren: "???"

Pu Shi severely injured by Madara Uchiha?

Why is he in this timeline?

Could he have secretly traveled with us into this timeline?

This shocking news even made Sasuke momentarily forget his quest for vengeance.

"Is what you said true?" he hurriedly asked, "Is Pu Shi really severely injured by Ban?"

"Why would I lie?" Lian Ye said, "He is definitely gravely injured now; once we find him we can eliminate him."

If Pu Shi weren't fast, his fate would be similar to that of the Three‑Tails.

Unfortunately, that guy's survival instinct is too strong; even Ban Daye couldn't kill him in time.

After that incident, Pu Shi probably dares not appear before them.

But it does give Sasuke a reason to investigate Pu Shi's whereabouts.

Although Otsutsuki Clan's Pu Shi poses no threat to them, they still cannot let him live in their timeline.

Since Bo Ren and Sasuke have arrived, they can hand the matter over to them.

"I understand."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded solemnly.

The top priority is to eliminate Pu Shi's threat...

As for seeking revenge on Lian Ye, it's not too late to continue later.

Anyway, Konoha Village is right here; you can run from a monk, but you can't run from the temple!

Saying that, he turned and left with Boruto, leaving Uchiha Reifeng alone at the doorway.

Huh? Why did you all leave?

"Reifeng, you came at the right time. Come in and have a seat; I happen to have something to ask you."

Lian Ye had planned to go find the other party tomorrow to learn the situation, but now they've come to him, so he doesn't have to trouble himself with another trip.

Uchiha Reifeng's heart tightened at the words.

Needless to say, he already knew that Lian Ye was merely asking about his reason for leaving the village.

Should he be completely honest with him?

Kaleidoscope Sharingan, Heijue, the "Moon's Eye" project, resurrecting his wife and younger brother…

In the end, Reifeng chose not to hide anything and recounted his experiences over the years verbatim.

Three years gave him clarity on many things.

He couldn't trust Heijue's words; he was probably being used, but he just refused to believe it.

He dared not accept that the "Moon's Eye" project was a lie.

Isn't that essentially saying that resurrecting his wife and brother is also false?

So he could only deceive himself, continuing to follow Heijue in search of a way to realize the "Moon's Eye" project.

With Heijue's disappearance, the hope Reifeng had been clinging to shattered.

Even now, he still doesn't understand why Heijue vanished without a trace…

Had Heijue not left, he could have kept deceiving himself until the day the "Moon's Eye" project succeeded and the truth was revealed.

Listening to Uchiha Reifeng's explanation, Lian Ye felt a surge of emotion.

One has to admit, Heijue truly is a master at manipulating people's hearts.

Madara Uchiha… Uchiha Reifeng…

He can precisely exploit each person's weakness, using them as pawns for his own ends.

The only thing he doesn't understand is why Heijue, being perfectly fine, would play hide-and-seek.

Could something unknown have happened in that time and space?

What exactly occurred?

Probably only the parties involved know…

"You're back, so don't leave again," Lian Ye patted Reifeng's shoulder. "The past is past; one must learn to look forward."

Since Reifeng's sudden disappearance, Uchiha Fugao has become an orphan.

He had seen Fugao from afar a few times; the child grew increasingly silent and withdrawn.

One can only say that the Uchiha Clan's educational methods, which produce troubled children, aren't without cause.

For example, to make a child awaken, they order him to kill a pet that has been his companion for years.

Although most succeed in awakening, their hearts become twisted.

Having endured this since childhood, must they be further traumatized as adults?

They must go mad and destroy the Village, destroy the Ninja World!

Exactly so; during the tenure of that old brat Qianshou Feijian, he kept a close eye on the Uchiha Clan, fearing they'd do something insane.

"I understand, thank you, Lian Ye."

Uchiha Reifeng said, relieved.

"From now on, I'll properly stay at home and look after Fugao."

Saying that, he didn't linger further, rose, and took his leave.

The two watched his departing silhouette in silence.

That guy is also pitiful…

He lost his wife and brother at such a young age.
