Chapter 705: Everyone Has Their Own Destiny

Uchiha Lianye had a very long, very long dream.

In the dream, he became stronger, but also became foolish.

His great power let him end the war quickly, but when he returned to the village, his low IQ made him unwelcome.

He was even expelled from the Uchiha Clan, forced to rummage through trash cans on Konoha Street to survive.

With nothing to do, he sat on Hokage Rock despite the heat, gazing down at Konoha Village and smiling foolishly.

"That fool climbed Hokage Rock again!"

"Shh, stop it, he's a hero of Konoha Village."

"Hero? With him like that, I doubt it…"

"Don't judge by his foolishness; his strength is formidable."

The villagers' words reached his ears, yet his expression did not change at all.

Uchiha Lianye kept smiling, drool involuntarily spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Hehehe…"

This is the price Second Hokage spoke of for gaining power!

"No!!!"

Uchiha Lianye snapped his eyes open and instinctively activated his Sharingan.

What he didn't notice was that his original Two Tomoe Sharingan had turned into a Three Tomoe Sharingan!

"You're awake?"

Qianshou Feijian's concerned voice sounded, pulling his consciousness back from the dream.

Uchiha Lianye looked at the familiar Laboratory and felt momentarily dazed.

He seemed to have had a very long, very long dream…

In the dream, he became a fool expelled from his clan.

He didn't want to experience that feeling a second time!

"Kid, how do you feel?"

Qianshou Feijian's eyes stared tightly at Lian Ye, whose emotions seemed off.

In fact, he also worried that after the experiment, Lian Ye's IQ might develop problems.

"I think I'm fine…?"

Uchiha Lianye thought of a relatively difficult question, quickly found the answer, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed he hadn't become a fool, at least for now.

He also didn't know whether, as time passed, he would gradually become the person from his dream?!

"Hokage, does the side effect you mentioned really exist?"

Uchiha Lianye looked at Qianshou Feijian expectantly, hoping to hear a negative answer from them.

"I'm not sure."

Qianshou Feijian's expression was complicated; they didn't know the answer either.

Perhaps that kid's IQ has nothing to do with his experiment.

Or maybe the side effect hasn't manifested yet…

He couldn't assure Lian Ye that the IQ would definitely decline!

Uchiha Lianye saw the hopeful light in his eyes dim gradually.

It seemed there was a high chance he would become a fool.

Never mind, he had already prepared himself mentally.

As long as he could have great power, why would it matter if he became a fool?!

Qianshou Feijian patted Lian Ye's shoulder, smiling reassuringly: "Actually, a slight drop in IQ doesn't matter; at least you can take care of your own food, clothing, and shelter on your own…"

That kid's only flaw, besides a poor Cultural Class grade, is a lack of emotional and intellectual quotient.

In other aspects, there seemed to be no major issues.

Uchiha Lianye: "…"

A five-point Cultural Class grade and the ability to look after one's own food, clothing, and shelter.

How could he possibly believe such words?

It was clearly the Hokage's comforting rhetoric!

It is well known that a five-point Cultural Class grade is no different from being an idiot.

And how could an idiot possibly take good care of himself?!

In his view, not having to rummage through trash cans for food already counts as high IQ among idiots.

"I've improved your constitution; I think you should have felt it."

Qianshou Feijian, fearing he would overthink, quickly changed the subject.

"Improving the constitution isn't something that can be done overnight; it requires a long time for a complete transformation."

Uchiha Lianye nodded at the words and stopped worrying about possibly becoming an idiot.

He felt his body change, indeed much stronger than before.

What was once only Chunin strength now possessed Jonin power!

With such a rapid boost in strength, even if his IQ dropped, he accepted it.

"Fine, you may leave now."

Qianshou Feijian waved, saying that a night of high‑intensity experiments had left him exhausted both body and mind, and he needed proper rest.

"Thank you immensely for the Hokage's help!"

Uchiha Lianye said gratefully, then turned and walked out of the Laboratory.

The events of the past two days were so dreamlike that he could not accept them for a time.

This kind of thing is literally no different from a pie dropping from the heavens!

Qianshou Feijian watched Lian Ye's back vanish and whispered softly.

"Kid, I hope you can survive the war."

He cannot guard this timeline's Lian Ye for a lifetime, waiting for Yuzhibo Quannai to settle Madara Uchiha's issue.

They are about to leave here.

The reason Qianshou Feijian helps Uchiha Lianye is simply that he does not want to see that kid from another timeline die in the war.

That's all.

In the forest.

"Brother, where are you!"

Yuzhibo Quannai followed the trail left by Madara Uchiha all the way.

When they arrived here, they found that all the clues had vanished.

Only two possibilities...

One is that Madara Uchiha deliberately cleared the scene's traces; the other is that Madara Uchiha is right here!

Yuzhibo Quannai leans more toward the latter!

"Brother, I know you're nearby; stop hiding from me."

He pursued for an entire day, just because he does not want to see this timeline's brother go astray again!

As the words faded, Madara Uchiha emerged from behind a tree, his eyes complex as they fixed on Quan Nai.

The dead younger brother reappeared before his eyes, and Madara Uchiha's claim that he didn't miss him was false!

He just understood that the Quan Nai before him was no longer the one in his memory.

"Quan Nai..."

Madara Uchiha's lips murmured, only softly saying a line.

"Brother!"

Yuzhibo Quannai's face showed excitement; he knew his brother would not vanish from him!

"Is there something?"

Madara Uchiha's expression returned to calm; without even thinking, he knew Quan Nai's arrival was inseparable from Feijian.

Most likely it is to persuade him to abandon the "Moon's Eye" plan...

"If you intend to persuade me to abandon the plan, then never mind."

He deliberately kept distance from Quan Nai, and his tone even seemed a bit unfamiliar.

"Brother..."

Yuzhibo Quannai did not expect his brother to react like this.

For a moment, he suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

The brother in this timeline must have suffered great injury; otherwise he wouldn't treat him that way.

"We are not people of the same world..."

Madara Uchiha stared at Quan Nai, his gaze becoming gentle.

"I hope you won't stop me, brother."

Even saying that, Quan Nai is still his brother, even if they're not from the same timeline.

He also does not want to say any heavy words.

"You shouldn't have come here; everyone has their own destiny, and I think you'd better not interfere arbitrarily..."

Madara Uchiha understood that his brother could not deceive him.

But he still intends to realize the "Moon's Eye" plan, an ideal he will pursue at any cost.

He cannot easily abandon it just because of Quan Nai's persuasion.

Even if it's false, he'll try to achieve it first!
