Chapter 692: My Friend Has Had a Bad Brain Since Childhood…

Three Uchiha Clan's Members stared at Lian Ye with gloomy eyes.

The Uchiha, a proud great clan of Konoha, were cursed to be exterminated!

It is simply unforgivable.

Someone cursing their own clan's extermination in person is unacceptable to anyone.

Lian Ye realized he had misspoken.

But he truly cannot be blamed!

Logically, at this point the Uchiha should have been exterminated.

While he was pondering why the Uchiha were not exterminated, Zhi Cun Tuan Zang stepped in front of his good brother.

"Sorry, truly sorry, my friend has had a bad brain since childhood."

He said to the three Uchiha Clan's Members with an apologetic face.

"When he was little, he fell while practicing tree climbing and injured his brain…"

As he spoke, he pointed to the spot of his temple.

The three Uchiha Clan's Members were startled and instinctively looked at Lian Ye.

Earlier they sensed nothing, but now a close look revealed a hint of stupidity.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang, seeing their hesitant gazes, immediately added.

"Don't be fooled by his outward appearance; his intelligence has been severely affected, and his Ninja School Cultural Class score is only five points!"

With that remark, the anger on the three Uchiha Clan's Members' faces vanished, replaced by sympathy and pity.

Cultural Class score only five points!

It seems his brain was truly injured since childhood.

When they attended Ninja School, even the class's lowest scores were not as low as five points.

Except for a genuine idiot, they could not imagine anyone else scoring five.

"Next time, tell him not to speak recklessly."

The three Uchiha Clan's Members did not continue to trouble Lian Ye, but said something to Zhi Cun Tuan Zang and turned away.

How could the proud Uchiha Clan's Members possibly bother an idiot?

"That guy is truly pitiful!"

"He became a fool from childhood, but at least he grew up smoothly."

"It can also be seen as a blessing in disguise."

If it were anyone else, the three Uchiha Clan's Members would not so easily settle.

But since the person involved is a fool, they did not continue to argue.

Seeing this, Zhi Cun Tuan Zang breathed a sigh of relief, finally smoothing the matter over.

Otherwise he truly feared Lian Ye would clash with the Uchiha.

Of course, his main concern was the Uchiha Clan's Members.

This incident was Lian Ye's fault from the start; if they later gave them a beating, the Uchiha Clan's Members would indeed be rather pitiful.

"Tuan Cang, what do you mean!"

Lian Ye had been pondering why the Uchiha were not exterminated and had not noticed what he said to the Uchiha Clan's Members.

By the time he reacted, the three Uchiha had already left.

"Who let you speak recklessly?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang rolled his eyes in irritation, feeling no problem with his excuse.

If Lian Ye hadn't been uncensored just now, he wouldn't have brought up the score as an explanation.

Lian Ye: "……"

He originally thought that, except for himself, everyone had forgotten his Cultural Class score of five.

But reality was not as he imagined.

It turned out they hadn't forgotten his black history; at least Tuan Cang had not forgotten it…

Lian Ye only felt his towering image in their eyes collapse.

"Alright, it's just a Cultural Class score of five, right?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang waved his hand as if indifferent, "We haven't taken this to heart."

Just occasionally muttering about it in his mind.

He didn't say the latter part, otherwise his good brother would surely be upset.

If his good brother hadn't performed poorly in Cultural Class, he wouldn't know how to bluff the Uchiha Clan's Members today.

It can also be seen as a blessing in disguise.

Lian Ye: "……"

He felt his good brother hadn't spoken truthfully, really hadn't taken it to heart?

Was it secretly kept in his heart?

Had he known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have pretended to be Tang back then.

If Zhi Cun Tuan Zang knew his good brother's current thoughts, he would surely cast a disdainful glance at him.

Whether it's an act, someone knows clearly in his heart.

"Tuan Cang, I want to go investigate the Uchiha situation."

Lian Ye did not dwell on the Cultural Class score, but shifted the topic to the Uchiha.

The Uchiha who were supposed to be exterminated have not been exterminated now.

Something must have happened!

With his IQ alone, just thinking definitely wouldn't work; he can only go with his good brother himself to scout the situation.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang nodded, and the two set off together to the Uchiha Clan Territory.

"Captain, why are they following us?"

One of the three Uchiha clan members who had left earlier frowned when he saw the two behind them.

"The fool's actions can't be inferred by common sense," the Uchiha squad leader shook his head, "Ignore them."

Don't be fooled by the Uchiha clan's cold exterior; they still have compassion for the weak.

Otherwise they wouldn't abandon holding the fool accountable.

The three Uchiha clan members directly ignored the two behind them.

Lian Ye: "……"

Damn it, really thought I'm a fool!

It's Tuan Cang's fault; he always spouts nonsense!

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang, seeing someone's sour expression, nervously turned his head aside.

Actually you can't blame him; after all, his good brother is blunt.

Calling Lian Ye a fool back then was the optimal solution!

Otherwise they'd have fought already.

"Captain, they're all following us!"

Just as they were about to enter the clan, the two behind still trailed.

The Uchiha Clan Territory isn't a place any stray cat or dog can follow into.

Not even a fool can!

"No problem, they can't get in."

The Uchiha Clan Territory is heavily guarded; outsiders aren't permitted to enter.

The captain didn't mind, nodded to the guard at the gate, and then entered the territory with his men.

"The Uchiha clan hasn't moved to the village outskirts?"

Lian Ye didn't understand what was happening.

Logically, after the Nine-Tails Incident, the Uchiha were driven to the village edge.

But now they're in the heart of Konoha!

It seems this timeline's development differs from the original, likely due to some unknown events.

Lian Ye cast Genjutsu on the gate guard and swaggered in with Tuan Cang.

He needed to speak properly with the Uchiha Clan Leader.

Uchiha Clan Leader's residence.

Just as Lian Ye was about to knock, the courtyard gate swung open.

Itachi Uchiha was about to take his brother to the Training Ground to practice Shuriken throwing, but when he opened the door he saw the two at the entrance.

"Who are you?"

His gaze focused mainly on Lian Ye.

"Is Uchiha Fugao at home?"

Lian Ye didn't answer, but asked about Uchiha Fugao's whereabouts.

"Father is with the Security Forces, not at home."

Itachi Uchiha frowned slightly.

He didn't understand why the stranger before him was probing his father's whereabouts.

But seeing Lian Ye appear in the clan territory and stand at the gate ready to knock, he thought he must be a friend of his father.

So he didn't conceal anything.

"I see." Lian Ye nodded, smiling, "You don't mind us staying inside until your father returns, do you?"

Itachi Uchiha: "……"

It seems he truly is his father's friend.
