Chapter 648: My Fee for Acting Is Expensive

Shimamura Garrison.

"Uncle Lian Ye, something terrible has happened!"

Boruto rushed into the courtyard with an anxious expression.

At that moment, Lian Ye and Tuan Cang were enjoying the sweets that Quan Nai had brought.

Uchiha Quan Nai, unusually not arguing with Qianshou Feijian, brought the sweets her brother had bought and found Lian Ye to share them.

"Lian Ye, who is this kid?"

He has been in the village for a few years, and this is his first time seeing Boruto.

From his impression, Lian Ye, apart from being with Tuan Cang, has no other familiar people.

Especially since the other party is a child.

"Minato's grandson," Lian Ye explained, then looked at Boruto, "What happened?"

Uchiha Quan Nai: "???"

Minato, the grandson of Bofeng Minato?!

That little blond kid already has a grandson!

Wasn't he just at the age of graduating from Ninja World School?

He does have some recollection of that kid, seems like Lian Ye's disciple-grandson.

"Uncle Sasuke found the Otsutsuki Clan's Pu Shi, and asked me to come to you for help!"

Boruto quickly narrated the whole chain of events.

"What?" Lian Ye showed surprise, "Sasuke really found Pu Shi?!"

He only intended to distract Sasuke, but didn't expect the other side actually found Pu Shi.

The Ninja World is so vast; how easy is it to locate a single person?

Originally, he just wanted him to go out and waste a few days, buying time until Fu Yue returned to the village.

But now they actually discovered Pu Shi.

Had he known Pu Shi would be so easy to find, he would have taken Ban Daye along.

Never mind, now he can only go himself.

"Tuan Cang, Quan Nai, stay at home; I'll be back soon."

Lian Ye called out to the two, then hurried away with Boruto.

Pu Shi of the Otsutsuki Clan has a unique ability; the middle-aged, useless Sasuke might truly be unable to defeat him.

If they don't go quickly, danger may arise!

The two had just arrived at the village entrance when they saw Fu Yue and a few others returning to the village.

Two Uchiha squad members saw Lian Ye, lowered their heads, and pretended not to have noticed him.

They can't afford to provoke this guy...

Only Uchiha Fu Yue, because of his father, nodded at Lian Ye as a greeting.

Just as they were about to enter the village, Lian Ye called them back.

"Wait, leave the person you're carrying behind."

The three halted, looking at Lian Ye puzzledly.

"He's my friend; I was just about to bring him back."

Lian Ye explained to the three.

Boruto quickly agreed, "He's my uncle, Uchiha Sasuke. He previously fought the enemy and asked me to come to the village to seek Uncle Lian Ye's help."

"Uchiha... Sasuke."

The three exchanged glances, remaining silent.

After a while, Uchiha Fu Yue, as squad leader, spoke first, "Since he's a friend of Lord Lian Ye, leave him to his care."

When the squad leader gave the order, the Uchiha squad member carrying Sasuke handed Sasuke over to Lian Ye.

"Let's go."

The three were about to leave when Lian Ye called them again.

"Fu Yue, Retsu has returned, waiting at home..."

Uchiha Fu Yue: "!!!"

He spun around sharply, his expression excited, and said, "Lord Lian Ye, is what you said true?!"

His father, who vanished three years ago, has truly returned?

Those who didn't know would have thought he died out there.

Fu Yue even considered that his father's disappearance was inseparable from Clan Head Jing.

The reason is simple: Uchiha Jing, upon becoming clan head, naturally needed to eliminate the previous head's offspring.

To prevent Retsu from seizing the opportunity to launch a coup and take the clan head position.

Although it sounds far-fetched, Fu Yue, who lost his father, indeed entertained such speculation.

If not Uchiha Jing, then the Fourth Hokage, or perhaps Tuan Cang and Lian Ye!

Anyway, he couldn't have simply vanished without leaving even a single word.

All these years, he has trained desperately, hoping that when his strength grew, he could uncover the truth behind his father's disappearance!

But now, the missing father has returned!

"Captain, it's wonderful that your father could return!"

"Go back quickly and see."

The two Uchiha squad members smiled at this and said.

They are sincerely happy for Fu Yue.

Since Uchiha Reifeng disappeared, he has become silent and taciturn, all day long just wearing a stern face, considering everyone to be the murderer who killed his father.

They fear that if this continues, Fu Yue will develop serious psychological problems.

Now that Uchiha Reifeng has returned, their worries no longer exist.

"Fu Yue, if you have time, come sit with me more often."

Lian Ye suddenly said a line to Fu Yue.

He was also hoping that Fu Yue would come to his house to calm the situation.

Otherwise, Sasuke Uchiha would definitely cause trouble for him…

Although he is confident he can defeat the middle‑aged, useless Sasuke, he is already tired of the days of fighting and killing, and does not like to stir up trouble.

When he has that time, isn't it fine to lie in the yard, bask in the sun, and eat some delicious desserts?

Uchiha Fugao clearly did not expect Lian Ye to say that; he thought it was just a few polite words because of his father.

"If you have time, bring my father to visit you."

Saying that, he hurried back to the clan grounds, sending the two team members to the Hokage Office to report the mission status.

"You can also bring Uchiha Reifeng along."

Lian Ye looked at the unconscious Sasuke and whispered softly.

"You can't possibly strike at me in front of your father and grandfather, can you?"

Boren: "…"

He finally understood why, after all those years, Uncle Sasuke still held him in his thoughts.

Such dirty tactics are even usable.

He cannot imagine what Uncle Sasuke went through back then.

"Why are you standing there? Take him to the hospital; reporting my name costs nothing."

Lian Ye tossed the unconscious Sasuke to Boren.

Where does he have time to run to the hospital to tend to the wounded?

The sweets Quan Nai brought haven't been finished yet.

He also doesn't know whether the two of them saved any for him.

Thinking that, he went back on his own.

Only Boren, carrying the unconscious Sasuke, was left standing disheveled in the wind.

"Konoha Village is so big, where can I find a hospital!"

Just as his face showed anxiety, he happened to see a person muttering angrily as they walked out of the casino.

Boren's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the newcomer.

"Damn, my luck is bad today, I lost all my money again."

"Looks like I have to go ask Grandpa and Uncle Lianye for some Living Expenses."

She thought losing money was just bad luck; with some capital, she could definitely turn a profit!

"Gangshou!"

Gangshou saw a yellow‑haired brat carrying an unconscious person approach her.

Although irritated by Boren's way of addressing her, she still patiently asked.

"Kid, what do you want from me?"

"Can you help treat Uncle Sasuke?"

"My treatment fee is expensive!"

"How much?"

"At least one hundred thousand taels!"

"So pricey… never mind, I'll just follow Uncle Lianye's suggestion and go to the hospital…"

"Wait, you know Uncle Lianye?!"

"Yeah, he told me to take him to the hospital, saying that reporting his name costs nothing."

"Which hospital? I'll treat him! Go back and tell Uncle Lianye, my treatment fee is three million!"

Boren: "???"

Gangshou didn't wait for Boren to refuse; she immediately used Medical Ninjutsu to heal the person.

Didn't she say the fee was one hundred thousand taels?

How did it become three million…

ps: Actually Fu Yue should be older, about 20, and Minato should be 15, but because the author kept adding three years repeatedly, they got confused, ending up with Fu Yue at 15, Minato at 12, eee...
