Chapter 704: Lord Hokage, you can't be drugging inside, can you?

"Madara Uchiha, I know it's hard for you to accept, but this is the truth."

Qianshou Feijian calmly stared at the Madara whose emotions were wildly fluctuating.

If Madara Uchiha were truly that easy to persuade, that kid Lian Ye wouldn't have killed him back then.

We can only hope that Quan Nai's persuasion will work.

Otherwise this timeline might truly be destroyed by the obsessive Madara!

Madara Uchiha heard that, his face darkening, and said nothing.

"Your words have no basis!"

Even though he knows Qianshou Feijian could never deceive him, deep down he still refuses to accept that the Moon's Eye project is a falsehood.

"Whatever you want, you obsessive fool."

Qianshou Feijian had no intention of continuing the conversation and turned and walked away.

Rather than playing a lute to a cow, better to find Quan Nai.

Hopefully Madara Uchiha can hear Quan Nai's persuasion.

Madara Uchiha watched Feijian's departing back, and subconsciously clenched his fist.

The content on the Uchiha Stone Tablet cannot be false!

Only by following the Tablet's instructions can the Ninja World achieve true peace!

"Quan Nai, brother will definitely succeed!"

Since Quan Nai isn't from this timeline, don't make him worry about our affairs.

After all, his brother died long ago.

Thinking that, Madara Uchiha's figure vanished once more into the night.

As the two left, a lump of black substance slowly rose from the ground.

"Luckily Madara Uchiha is a fool, otherwise my plan would have failed."

Heijue was greatly shocked by the fact that Qianshou Feijian and Quan Nai came from another timeline.

But as long as it doesn't affect the plan to revive his mother, he can turn a blind eye.

"But... how did they manage to traverse time and space?!"

It seems necessary to covertly monitor the two and understand the principle of their time‑space traversal.

If it can be replicated, perhaps we could rescue mother by other means!

For example, traveling to another timeline to ask that timeline's mother for help...

Heijue slipped back into the ground, silently trailing Feijian.

Konoha Camp.

Qianshou Feijian originally intended to tell Quan Nai what had just happened.

But seeing his counterpart present in this timeline, he ultimately didn't wake Quan Nai, planning to tell him another time the next day.

Madara's stubbornness makes him impossible to persuade at all.

The next day, Quan Nai learned of the situation.

"The plan has changed. You go protect Lian Yejun; I will make brother change his mind!"

Quan Nai doesn't want his brother to walk that wrong path alone.

After all, this timeline's brother has nothing—no him, no Senju Hashirama, no despised Qianshou Feijian, and no Lian Yejun; he's been alone all the time, truly pitiful.

Qianshou Feijian did not refuse.

He was eager for Quan Nai to persuade Madara to change his mind...

Night, Konoha Camp.

Yuzhi Bo Lianye lay on his bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep; even after a brutal war during the day, he felt no drowsiness at all.

His mind was filled with thoughts of the promise with the Second Hokage.

In his heart were expectations of becoming stronger, and the panic of possibly turning into an idiot.

"I hope the side effects aren't as exaggerated as the Second Generation Great Person said!"

Yuzhi Bo Lianye, as a normal person, truly does not want to become a fool at all.

Otherwise he'd only be able to lie in the yard every day, drooling while basking in the sun.

Such days would truly be endless.

Actually, being a little stupid isn't bad; carefree every day, completely unaware of what trouble is.

He could only comfort himself in his heart like this...

"Lian Ye, are you ready?"

Qianshou Feijian slipped into the tent, trying to keep his voice low as he asked.

He had already prepared the Laboratory outside, only lacking a Lab Mouse to lie on the testing table.

Actually he was also quite nervous, fearing he might truly turn Lian Ye into a fool.

No one can guarantee that a Cultural Class score of five is the lower bound of the experiment's side effects?

If that happens, Lian Ye would end up with a Cultural Class score of only five.

That would be disastrous!

Yuzhi Bo Lianye heard that, gathered his thoughts, and subconsciously clenched his fist.

"Lord Hokage, I'm ready!"

Exchanging intellect for power left him no other choice at this moment!

If I become a bit stupid, so be it; at least with great power I won't be bullied.

"Alright, follow me."

Qianshou Feijian knew Lian Ye could not refuse a chance to become stronger, and secretly took him away from the Konoha Camp.

The laboratory was a makeshift setup in the cave.

"Hokage, will I really become a fool?"

Yuzhi Bo Lianye lay on the cold experimental table, the laboratory's cool lighting casting a pallid hue on his face.

No one can face everything calmly after learning of the side effects, right?

"It's possible, I'm not certain."

Qianshou Feijian didn't understand whether Lian Ye's intelligence was related to his experiment.

Isn't this just using another Lian Ye to verify the hypothesis?

Yuzhi Bo Lianye heard that and felt both nervous and hopeful.

Hope that after the experiment he won't become a fool…

"Don't be nervous, have a glass of milk."

Qianshou Feijian brought a glass of milk and placed it before Lian Ye.

Staring at the hot milk before him, Yuzhi Bo Lianye asked subconsciously.

"Hokage, you can't be putting drugs in it, can you?"

To be honest, some bad guesses flashed through his mind in an instant.

The Hokage never intended to help him get stronger; he tricked him into coming here as a lab mouse!

He could already picture the scene of his miserable death in the laboratory.

Thousand Hands and Uchiha don't get along; Qianshou Feijian luring Uchiha Clan's Members into experiments isn't impossible!

For a brief moment, he realized he'd been duped.

"Hokage…"

Yuzhi Bo Lianye tried to awaken Qianshou Feijian's conscience, even if just to assure him the milk was fine!

Unfortunately, Qianshou Feijian's words left him completely heart‑broken.

"You're smarter than that kid; I did put a drug in the milk."

He was referring to the original‑timeline Lian Ye, but it sounded different to Yuzhi Bo Lianye.

The 'kid' should be the previous Uchiha Clan member used as a lab mouse.

It seems his suspicion was correct; Qianshou Feijian really is using Uchiha Clan's Members for human experiments!

Unfortunately, with his power he can't accomplish anything.

"Alright, drink it."

Qianshou Feijian saw that time was running short and had to start the experiment.

Yuzhi Bo Lianye, seeing this, could only lift the milk with a heart as cold as ash and gulp it down.

It seems today's disaster is truly unavoidable.

He fell asleep as soon as he drank the milk.

Qianshou Feijian noticed a tear at the corner of Lian Ye's eye and was momentarily baffled.

How is this guy so inexplicable?!

In the end, he could only attribute it to Lian Ye's fear of becoming an idiot after the experiment.

Only that scenario could explain his odd behavior earlier.

"Kid, I hope your intellect won't decline…"
