Chapter 651: The Sky Clears, the Rain Stops, All Is Well

Under Orochimaru's diligent research, Sasuke's arm was completed in just a few days.

Mainly because Qianshou Feijian and Yuzhibo Quannai were present these days; otherwise the research would have taken even less time!

"Thank you, Orochimaru."

Sasuke Uchiha did not expect that Orochimaru's teacher was Lian Ye!

It seems this timeline truly differs completely from the one he comes from!

Senju Hashirama, Qianshou Feijian, Madara Uchiha, Yuzhibo Quannai—none of these people who should have died have died.

"You're welcome," Orochimaru said with a faint smile.

Just by cultivating a single arm, they could obtain several vials of blood samples from people possessing the Rinnegan.

It can be called a very profitable deal!

The only regret is that they did not remove the Rinnegan for careful study.

Sasuke was too cautious, never willing to use anesthetic…

At that time, Lian Ye Teacher possessed Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan, but was stingy and refused to share it with them.

Had Lian Ye been willing to provide the Rinnegan then, he and Lord Feijian could surely have cloned a perfect Rinnegan!

It's uncertain whether the cultivated Rinnegan could surpass the original.

Now there is absolutely no chance.

The Rinnegan has already been returned to Madara Uchiha, so they can only try using Sasuke's blood sample.

"Can you deal with Otsutsuki Pu Shi?"

Lian Ye looked at Sasuke, who was adapting to the new arm, and said in a deep voice.

"If not, I'll have Ban Daye help you eliminate him."

Otsutsuki Pu Shi, staying in their timeline, has always been a scourge; hasn't he even scared the Nine-Tails into hiding in the Village, refusing to go out?

No longer can one see the huge fox sprinting wildly across the Ninja World.

All that remains is the Nine-Tails sleeping with its eyes closed in the Village square.

To be honest, he even wants to build a zoo in the square, and then have Ban Daye release those Tailed Beasts from the Outsider Demon Statue.

Wait, those Tailed Beasts seem to have always been inside the Outsider Demon Statue!

Lian Ye finally recalled those unlucky seven Tailed Beasts.

They've been locked inside for so many years; it's unknown whether they've turned into chakra and vanished.

They probably haven't, right?

"No need, I can handle Pu Shi."

Sasuke Uchiha said seriously.

He has learned Pu Shi's various abilities, and with the successful arm transplant.

His own strength has increased to some extent, giving him confidence to defeat Otsutsuki Pu Shi!

Lian Ye watched his confident demeanor and couldn't help but feel doubt.

Can it really work?

He doesn't want to become the young King of Pressure Er Zhu Zi again, does he?

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and everything's fine.

If Pu Shi kills him then, wouldn't that be a disaster?

To be safe, I'll follow up and take a look later.

If I can't get there, I'll first watch, and intervene when he can't beat him.

I can't really let him be killed by Pu Shi, can I?

"Alright, be careful."

Lian Ye's face remained impassive, but he made up his mind.

I'll secretly follow and watch then!

"I'm going to look for Pu Shi's trail."

Sasuke Uchiha said as he left the Laboratory, greeted Boruto and told him to stay in the Village and wait for his return, then set out alone to search for Otsutsuki Pu Shi's whereabouts.

Having a sound body greatly boosted his confidence!

Boruto watched Sasuke's confident departing figure, his face showing worry as he said.

"Uncle Sasuke, are you really okay?"

If I recall correctly, wasn't he a few days ago beaten by Pu Shi to the point where someone had to carry him back?

He just repaired the broken arm and now has confidence he can defeat Pu Shi?!

"Uncle Lian Ye, is Uncle Sasuke really going to be fine?"

Boruto's searching gaze fell on Lian Ye.

For some reason, he always had a bad feeling, thinking Uncle Sasuke's upcoming trip might end badly.

Lian Ye: "……"

Even Boruto sensed something was off; it seems I really have to follow and see.

Otherwise, if Sasuke gets killed, it would really be a trouble.

After all, this timeline lacks Naruto Uzumaki, so there may be no so‑called protagonist aura.

Being killed isn't impossible.

Lian Ye exchanged a greeting with Qianshou Feijian, then slipped away secretly following Sasuke out of the Village.

Wind Country, in the desert.

Otsutsuki Pu Shi walked through the desert, his gaze constantly scanning the surroundings.

Damn, can't find the location!

This timeline is too dangerous; he needs to leave here as soon as possible.

Otherwise, being found by those people would be disastrous!

As for Sasuke Uchiha, he isn't worried at all.

It's only a lower‑tier creature with some power.

Even if he truly can't win, he can always use his spatial ability to run away.

But Madara Uchiha is different.

If he had run a little slower back then, he would have ended up there!

But Pu Shi searched the desert for a long time yet never found any trace of Loulan.

Huiye's will, while he was fighting Sasuke, broke free from the chakra seal on the fishing rod and fled.

That guy's movements are strange; finding him in a short time is clearly unrealistic.

What if, while searching for Heijue, he runs into Madara Uchiha?

So he can only go alone to Wind Country, searching the endless desert for Loulan's whereabouts.

Pu Shi doesn't even dare to use his flying ability, fearing that passersby might spot his trail and inform that terrifying guy from Konoha Village.

Unable to fly, trying to locate Loulan in the desert becomes even more difficult.

But there's nothing that can be done…

He just didn't notice that, on a distant sand dune, a pair of resentful poisonous eyes were staring at him intently.

"Damn Otsutsuki Clan Pu Shi!"

Heijue never forgot the humiliation Pu Shi inflicted on him.

If it weren't that it's not Pu Shi's opponent, it would have probably already torn him to pieces.

But that's fine; it can kill by proxy!

Anyway, this guy doesn't dare to leave this timeline alive!

If Pu Shi hadn't caused trouble, it might have already found the mother in another timeline.

Because of him, not only did Heijue suffer great humiliation, but also delayed the mother's time to rescue her mother!

I believe the helper will arrive soon.

Raise troops for a thousand days, deploy them in an instant!

……

"Sir, please stay a moment!"

A one‑eyed old man with only three fingers on his right hand suddenly blocked Lian Ye, who was secretly trailing.

"Might you recognize this little old man?"

"You are…"

Lian Ye looked at the gray‑haired, stooped old man before him and felt somewhat familiar.

He seemed to have seen him somewhere, but couldn't recall at that moment.

Soon, the old man before him gradually merged with the figure in his memory…

"Are you the proprietor of the Exchange House?!"

He remembered!

Back then, it was this proprietor who handed a large sum of money to him, saying it was sent by the Exchange House's hidden boss!

Although he had never met that hidden boss, he did have an impression of this one‑eyed proprietor.

The one‑eyed proprietor, knowing Lian Ye recognized him, immediately said with a cheerful smile.

"Sir, might you be able to do my boss a favor?"
