Chapter 698: Lian Ye, are you okay?

"Qianshou Feijian, what are you doing!"

Yuzhibo Quannai had only just stopped, then was knocked off balance by Qianshou Feijian behind her, and she turned back, dissatisfied, and said.

"Who told you to just stand still!"

Qianshou Feijian was equally unwilling to be outdone.

He had just been observing the surroundings, contemplating the time period they had traversed into.

He hadn't expected Yuzhibo Quannai to suddenly stop, and then, by accident, bump into Quan Nai.

"You have no eyes, yet you blame me!"

Originally traveling with Qianshou Feijian, Yuzhibo Quannai was already annoyed.

And then this guy started looking for trouble right after the time jump.

"I'm too lazy to argue with you."

For someone like Quan Nai, who explodes at the slightest spark, Qianshou Feijian clearly didn't want to argue with her.

Uchiha youngsters are like that…

"Where is this place?"

Seeing this, Yuzhibo Quannai stopped discussing the matter and changed the subject.

Qianshou Feijian looked around again; all he saw was an endless forest with no distinctive structures.

"We don't yet know the exact time period, so let's first find a place with people to learn the situation."

Yuzhibo Quannai didn't object, silently following behind Qianshou Feijian.

He planned to find a chance later to bump this guy as well!

Who made this guy almost knock himself down?

Qianshou Feijian seemed to have guessed Quan Nai's little thought and deliberately kept his distance.

The petty Quan Nai was probably looking for a chance to take revenge.

He couldn't give this guy a chance to succeed!

The two walked on, each harboring their own thoughts.

After an unknown amount of walking, they suddenly heard the explosion of an Explosive Talisman in the distance.

They exchanged a glance, then simultaneously headed toward the source of the sound!

Soon, Qianshou Feijian and Yuzhibo Quannai arrived near the explosion.

In the Battlefield's center, three severely wounded Uchiha Clan's Members were surrounded by seven Cloud Hidden Ninja.

"Give up resistance, Uchiha scum!"

The leading Cloud Hidden hulker's voice was hoarse, "Hand over your Sharingan, and we'll give you a quick death!"

To capture the three Uchihas, they had already lost two comrades.

This debt must be repaid with blood and Sharingan!

Captain Uchiha Daohuo's mouth dripped blood, and his Three Tomoe Sharingan stared intently at the leading Cloud Hidden hulker.

"Cloud Hidden scum, wanting the Uchiha's Sharingan, is nothing but a delusional fantasy!"

He intended to fight to the death with his comrades, then destroy his own eyes before dying.

Uchiha eyes must never fall into anyone else's hands!

"Stubborn fools, kill them!"

The leading Cloud Hidden hulker said coldly, then swiftly formed hand seals with both hands.

"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!"

Electric currents shot out like a spider web, clinging to the ground and rushing toward the three Uchiha Clan's Members.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Uchiha Daohuo gritted his teeth, enduring the piercing wound on his shoulder, formed the seal and unleashed the Great Fireball Technique.

The fireball met the electric net, temporarily blocking the attack.

"Lian Ye, Meidu, are you alright!"

During a lull in the fight, he looked at the two equally gravely wounded comrades, a fleeting glimpse of despair flashing in his eyes.

Facing an onslaught of seven Cloud Hidden Ninja, even if they weren't injured it would be hard to break through.

Let alone when they're severely wounded.

It seems they'll all meet their end here today.

"Cough… the captain won't die!"

Uchiha Lianye raised his hand to wipe the blood from his mouth corner, his Two Tomoe Sharingan fixed on the opposing Cloud Hidden ninja.

Even though he knew escape was impossible, he didn't give up on himself.

Even in death, he'd take two backsides with him!

"Sorry for being a hindrance."

Uchiha Meidu was the squad's only woman, and she was the most badly injured at this moment.

She didn't even have the strength to resist.

Seeing the captain and Lian Ye blocking ahead, she felt deep self‑blame for why she got hurt.

"Remember, destroy your eyes before you die."

Uchiha Daohuo took a deep breath, ready for a death‑defying gamble.

"Understood."

Uchiha Lianye gripped his Kunai tightly, ready to take down a Cloud Hidden before dying.

Uchiha Meidu concentrated her chakra at her eyes; as soon as the two comrades die, she will destroy her eyes.

For the Uchiha's honor, even death cannot allow the eyes to fall into an outsider's hands!

Qianshou Feijian and Yuzhibo Quannai had just arrived when they saw this scene.

They saw the stubborn young Shisui in the arena and were instantly stunned.

That youth seemed to be Lian Ye...

Qianshou Feijian frowned, not understanding why Lian Ye appeared here.

And this kid's strength is unreasonably weak!

Lian Ye is only at Chunin level, baffled by what happened in this timeline.

After all, in his own timeline, that kid at this age would already be an Elite Jonin.

Could it be that...

Only his timeline is an exception, and Lian Ye in other timelines all died on the Battlefield?

If that's truly the case, it would explain why future Ri Zhan and Tuan Cang don't recognize Lian Ye.

In other words, my other‑timeline selves never adopted Lian Ye!

Otherwise, even if Lian Ye fell in battle, Ri Zhan and Tuan Cang could not possibly not know him.

Qianshou Feijian doesn't understand why most traversed timelines are similar, yet his own is uniquely different...

It seems they'll need to find Orochimaru later to study the principle of dragon‑vein time‑travel.

If it can be achieved, he wants to travel to the past or future of his own timeline!

"What are you daydreaming about, you guy!"

Yuzhibo Quannai's anxious voice interrupted Qianshou Feijian's thoughts.

"Stay here, I'll go slaughter those bastards bullying Lian Yejun!"

Saying that, he drew his Tachi and charged forward.

Qianshou Feijian opened his mouth, but said nothing.

He knew the Lian Ye before him wasn't the kid he knew...

Although they look like the same person outwardly, it's the distinction between Third Hokage Tuan Cang and the Root leader Tuan Cang.

One could say that aside from name and appearance, there is nothing else similar.

Even Tuan Cang's looks differ from Tuan Cang's!

"A bunch of minnows, and they dare to touch the Uchiha's eyes?!"

Just as three Uchiha Clan's Members felt despair, a cold voice rang from afar to near.

Before the Cloud Hidden Ninja could react.

Yuzhibo Quannai appeared before the leading Cloud Hidden hulking man.

He only managed to see a pair of scarlet eyes, and immediately felt a chilling sensation on his neck.

Then his vision spun wildly, and his final consciousness saw a headless corpse.

It was his own!

Puff!

The skull flew up.

Yuzhibo Quannai paused not at all, surged into the crowd and began a killing spree.

"Dare to bully Lian Yejun, none of these people will think of escaping!"

Swish swish swish!

Several cold flashes flickered, and all the Cloud Hidden Ninja fell to the ground.

From Yuzhibo Quannai's appearance to the death of seven Cloud Hidden Ninja, the whole process took less than a minute.

In the valley, a death‑like silence.

Uchiha Inaho, Quannai, and Midu were completely stunned, their Sharingan widened, looking at the scene in disbelief.

Yuzhibo Quannai flicked the blood off his blade, turned, and with a smile looked toward the shocked Lian Ye.

"Lian Yejun, are you alright?"
