Chapter 703: Come Out, We

A Cultural Class grade of only five points?!

Uchiha Lianye kept recalling the words Qianshou Feijian said before leaving.

It is well known that the Ninja School's Cultural Class is not difficult.

After all, the ninja world has always valued strength, and Cultural Class grades are just basic common sense.

Therefore, the exam difficulty can be said to be extremely simple!

And scoring five points on such a simple Cultural Class is almost equivalent to being an idiot.

The Second Hokage's meaning is clear: if you want to get stronger, you must lose your IQ.

Uchiha Lianye flashed green and white.

Indeed, to obtain something, you must give up something.

This world has no free lunch; it only offers barter…

Exchanging IQ for power is the only option for Lian Ye at this moment.

Although he might become an idiot, he'll be a powerful idiot!

With great power, he can protect his comrades and won't die on the Battlefield.

Even though Uchiha Lianye comforts himself in his heart and accepts it.

But the thought of becoming stronger and spending his days with his head tilted, drooling foolishly makes the corner of his mouth twitch.

"Hehehe…"

Uchiha Lianye's imagined self.

Sitting on a treetop, eyes vacant, laughing foolishly while drooling all day.

For a brief moment, he didn't want to agree to Qianshou Feijian.

Fortunately, he ultimately didn't refuse; becoming an idiot is at least better than being killed.

Weakness is not his choice, but now that there's a chance to get stronger, he can't give it up!

In the Xiao Shu Lin of the Konoha Camp.

"Hey, Qianshou Feijian," Yuzhibo Quannai said with a strange expression, "What did you just do in Lian Yejun's Commander's Tent?"

He argued with Er Dai Feijian inside the tent, then, still fuming, walked out to clear his mind.

He happened to see someone sneaking into Lian Ye's tent…

"Nothing, I just want to help him get stronger."

Qianshou Feijian didn't mention treating Lian Ye as a Lab Mouse.

Otherwise, Quan Nai definitely wouldn't agree!

"You? You think you can make Lian Yejun stronger?!"

Yuzhibo Quannai sneered at that.

He thought that instead of having Qianshou Feijian help Lian Yejun get stronger, he should find a way to awaken Lian Yejun's Kaleidoscope Sharingan.

Qianshou Feijian gave no explanation, merely said calmly,

"You'll understand soon enough."

Yuzhibo Quannai saw this and realized the guy wasn't joking, and said seriously,

"What do you plan to do?!"

The naturally evil Qianshou Feijian has considerable insight into studying the Uchiha.

Who knows, he might really have a way to make Lian Yejun stronger!

Qianshou Feijian looked at his rival's expectant expression and said with a half‑smile,

"Secret."

Yuzhibo Quannai: "……"

Damn guy, if he doesn't want to say it, he doesn't have to.

And he calls it a secret—so infuriating!

"Whatever, I'll protect Lian Yejun tomorrow."

Yuzhibo Quannai found that every Qianshou Feijian is extremely aggravating.

He clearly didn't want to see the other, so he chose to protect Lian Yejun.

"Fine."

Qianshou Feijian said nothing more and headed deeper into the Xiao Shu Lin.

He doesn't plan to let his counterpart in this timeline know of his existence—for now…

"Dead tsundere."

Yuzhibo Quannai stared at his rival's departing back, let out a cold snort, and turned back to the Commander's Tent.

Er Dai Feijian finally managed to enjoy the hard‑won peace, only to see Yuzhibo Quannai fling open the tent and come in.

Moreover, that guy's expression seemed off.

He thought he hadn't provoked the other, right?

"What are you looking at? I'm going to sleep now."

Yuzhibo Quannai unceremoniously claimed the only bed inside the tent.

Naturally evil Qianshou Feijian, just lie on the table and sleep!

Er Dai Feijian: "……"

Who provoked this guy again?!

Fine, the bed's his then.

Er Dai Feijian had no intention of fighting Quan Nai over the bed.

He's already that grown, so he wouldn't bother to argue with a youngster.

Second‑generation Feijian rested his right hand on his cheek, gazing at Quan Nai's sleeping silhouette, and slowly closed his eyes.

Intensive mental work is indeed tiring.

These past days he's been on guard against invasions from other villages, and he has hardly had any proper rest.

Now's a good chance to finally rest.

In the depths of the forest.

Qianshou Feijian wandered aimlessly through the woods.

He looked up at the bright full moon, his thoughts unknown…

The night was unusually tranquil, with only the rustle of leaves stirred by a gentle breeze in the forest.

After an uncertain amount of time, he slowly withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice.

"Come out, we've been together all the way."

His words carried far through the silent forest, startling a few birds into flight.

Beyond that, there was nothing else.

Qianshou Feijian said nothing, his eyes fixed on a large tree.

By the bright moonlight, one could vaguely see a long‑haired figure hidden beneath the tree's shadow.

"How interesting, you actually found me!"

The long‑haired figure, seeing its trail exposed, stopped hiding, stepped slowly out from behind the tree, and leaned against it.

A pair of crimson Sharingan eyes fell upon Qianshou Feijian.

The moonlight washed over his face, revealing a cold, stern countenance.

The newcomer wore red armor, a massive scythe gripped in his right hand, and a huge round fan slung on his back.

It was Madara Uchiha!

"Madara Uchiha."

Qianshou Feijian knew from the start that someone was following him.

And that familiar chakra, without guessing, made it clear who it was.

He simply didn't speak up, seeing no hostility.

He couldn't understand what this timeline's Madara Uchiha intended to do by following him.

"Tell me, what's the story between you and Quan Nai…"

Madara Uchiha hesitated for a moment, but eventually asked the question he was concerned about.

At first he only wanted to return to Konoha to take a look, not planning to come to the Battlefield, but an inexplicable feeling compelled him to go there.

So, he inexplicably slipped into the camp.

By chance he saw Qianshou Feijian and Yuzhibo Quannai; his brother who had died was suddenly back in the Ninja World!

There must be something going on!

He originally intended to appear directly to ask about Quan Nai's situation, but by accident discovered a second Qianshou Feijian.

And the second Feijian clearly didn't want to reveal his identity.

Madara Uchiha thought Qianshou Feijian definitely knew the reason, and silently followed him.

"I can tell you."

Qianshou Feijian had no intention to hide, and went on to talk about the "Moon's Eye" plan.

Madara Uchiha didn't expect Qianshou Feijian to be so easygoing; he had already prepared to forcefully act to get the answer.

He never imagined the guy would just tell him outright.

"Impossible!"

Madara Uchiha readily accepted that Qianshou Feijian and Yuzhibo Quannai came from another timeline.

But he found the "Moon's Eye" plan to be false.

He would never, under any circumstance, be willing to accept it!

Seeing this, Qianshou Feijian knew it would turn out this way.

It seems the only option is to have Yuzhibo Quannai persuade the obstinate Madara Uchiha.
