Chapter 660: Eat or Not?

Two hundred million, I gave.

Since this matter is a misunderstanding, Lian Ye of course won't refuse.

Two hundred million is really nothing to him.

"Then thank you," Yuanfei Rizhan smiled, "When I finish handling the state affairs, I'll treat you all to a meal!"

Lian Ye looked at the pile of documents on the desk and said irritably, "If you can get off work before nightfall, that would be good enough."

In the original, Konoha Village wasn't as large as it is now; back then handling documents took a long time, let alone the rapidly developing Konoha Village.

Just one Hokage handling documents, the manpower is truly insufficient.

Konoha is called a village, but its population is already in the hundreds of thousands.

A huge pile of things happen every day, no wonder the documents are never finished…

"I'll try to speed up," Yuanfei Rizhan forced a bitter smile, thinking that he couldn't finish all the documents before nightfall.

Had he known it would be like this, he shouldn't have been duped by Tuan Cang back then; he could have enjoyed retirement early, yet fell to such a miserable state.

What a regret for not acting wisely!

It seems he must put retirement on the agenda, or else one day he'll truly die suddenly in the office…

"If it really doesn't work, recruit a few people to help you handle official affairs."

Lian Ye said with a bit of reluctance.

He truly fears that Rizhan might die young in the office, leaving Yuanfei Xinzhuzhu and Yuanfei Asima as orphans.

Yuanfei Rizhan was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"Forget it, I can handle it alone."

Lian Ye, seeing this, didn't say anything.

He could probably guess what Rizhan was thinking: simply not wanting to share the Hokage's authority.

Respect others' destinies, put aside the desire to help.

Rizhan just wants to be happy himself…

Power like that is truly fascinating; otherwise the original's Pot Shadow wouldn't keep scheming to become Hokage.

It's just that Lian Ye has no interest in it.

From the First Hokage to the Fourth Hokage's office daily life, he's been watching it all…

Every day he's miserably handling state affairs; with that time, he'd rather bask in the sun.

So he's never been interested in the Hokage position; only those brainwashed by the Will of Fire since childhood cling to becoming Hokage.

The three disciples Lian Ye has taught since childhood will never develop such naive thoughts!

If becoming Hokage meant enjoying life every day, he might be willing to try it for a few days.

Unfortunately, once Hokage, you can't enjoy; a huge pile of tasks comes every day.

Even if others beg him, he could never agree!

Leaving the Hokage Office, Uchiha Jing bid farewell to the two, saying he needs to go to the Security Forces to handle matters.

Lian Ye and Tuan Cang went to the market together to buy vegetables.

Before, Lian Ye always did these things, but since moving into Tuan Cang's house, he's been slacking.

Buying vegetables, cooking, washing dishes—Tuan Cang does all that, while he only needs to enjoy life.

If Qianshou Feijian hadn't requested, he was ready to stay at Tuan Cang's place.

Otherwise the back-and-forth would really be a hassle.

Fortunately, he left a Flying Thunder God Seal on Tuan Cang, allowing direct teleportation without a big hassle.

He doesn't know how long they'll be away traveling before returning; he hopes they don't come back so soon, preferably stay out a few days, otherwise his idle days will be over.

Although cooking a few meals doesn't affect his lounging, not cooking is still better.

Someplace in Ninja World forest.

Qianshou Feijian and Yuzhibo Quannai sat by the riverbank, holding fishing rods, staring intently at the float.

Feijian saw the float move, immediately jerked the rod upward, pulling a big fish ashore.

"Yuzhibo Quannai, you're a bit worse than me."

He looked at the Quan Nai beside him who had opened the Sharingan, his expression serious, and said quite proudly.

He used to go fishing by the river when he had nothing to do; the naturally evil Yuzhibo Quannai clearly looked like a rookie, so how could he possibly outfish him?

"You're just lucky."

Yuzhibo Quannai retorted stubbornly, the Sharingan clearly seeing many fish swimming underwater, yet none biting the bait on his hook.

"Another one."

From beside him came Qianshou Feijian's smug voice, making him even more irritated.

Damn, why are there no fish biting the hook!

"Yuzhibo Quannai, concede," Qianshou Feijian waved the two big fish in his hand, "You can't catch fish…"

"Wait a bit longer, it'll succeed soon!"

Quan Nai, unrelenting, kept staring at the rod; he didn't believe Qianshou Feijian could do it while he couldn't!

It must be that he hasn't found the technique and method.

Qianshou Feijian looked at his stubbornness, shook his head helplessly, and began cleaning the two fish's innards.

It was only subconscious, pulling away a bit to keep distance, to avoid later someone blaming him for the fish's movement if they couldn't catch it…

After processing the fish meat, he started a fire to grill the fish.

Soon, the two fish were cooked.

Qianshou Feijian watched the still‑focused Yuzhibo Quannai staring at the river, paused in silence, took a grilled fish, and went to Quan Nai's side.

"Eat or not?"

Yuzhibo Quannai's Sharingan stared at the Grilled Fish before him; he intended to refuse, but his stomach protested.

Since noon, he hasn't eaten anything.

His older brother and Senju Hashirama live in a cave, indifferent to their lives or deaths, and can only fish to survive…

After a brief hesitation, he took the Grilled Fish but didn't eat it immediately, instead asking doubtfully.

"You can't secretly spit on it up there, can you?"

Quan Nai seemed to recall an unpleasant memory, and his complexion suddenly turned sour.

Qianshou Feijian: "……"

Is he that kind of person?

This guy is perhaps looking down on himself too much.

Although he had indeed entertained a similar thought before, upon reflection, wasn't that cheapening the other side?

So he dismissed that idea…

"Whatever, eat it or not."

Qianshou Feijian said nothing more, got up, and returned to the campfire.

He thought that guy wouldn't refuse, after all he'd been fishing for so long without catching anything.

If he doesn't eat, he'll have to drink the northwestern wind.

Unless he chooses to concede and kill the fish with a Shuriken.

But that should be impossible…

Quan Nai looked at Feijian's back, then at the Grilled Fish in his hand, and finally resolved to start eating.

Even Qianshou Feijian wouldn't dare do such a despicable, shameless, filthy act!

Inside the cave.

Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha somehow obtained a deer.

"Madara, are we really not calling them up to eat?"

Senju Hashirama said with a hesitant expression.

Madara Uchiha took a bite of the deer leg, and said calmly, "If you can tolerate them arguing, calling them up is fine."

"Then never mind."

Senju Hashirama shook his head.

They barely managed to come out for a trip, but don't want to keep hearing people argue.

Letting them eat Grilled Fish below is also a good choice…
