Chapter 724: Naruto, stop talking

Hashirama Residence.

"Tuan Cang, I don't want to cook any more."

Lian Ye slumped in the chair, looking at his good brother with a life‑without‑love stare.

Since moving here, he hasn't had a single good day.

Every day he's treated like a kitchen slave!

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang looked at his good brother's pitiful expression, feeling no sympathy at all, and even thought it was a bit funny.

This guy wasn't like this when he was at his house before!

"Tuan Cang, I want juice!"

"Tuan Cang, I want fruit!"

"Tuan Cang, I'm hungry, go cook quickly!"

"Tuan Cang..."

Thinking of how he was once used as a slave, he felt that Lian Ye deserved it completely!

"That's not up to you!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang said gleefully.

"If you're not afraid of Teacher Feijian and the others, then honestly go to the kitchen and cook."

Helping is impossible!

He doesn't even add insult to injury while commanding his good brother, which is as magnanimous as it gets.

Lian Ye, seeing his good brother's refusal to eat, couldn't help but hang his head and say pitifully,

"Tuan Cang, you've changed; you weren't like this before..."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, ignoring his good brother's complaint.

The good brother's words were nothing but an attempt to make him feel guilty, so they'd both be used as slaves at home!

Lian Ye, seeing his act of playing the pitiful one had no effect, sighed helplessly.

He could only turn around, taking a step and looking back three times as he headed to the kitchen.

He deliberately slowed his pace, hoping his good brother would feel guilty and then relieve his pressure.

Unfortunately, he overthought it.

Tuan Cang simply lay down on his chair, put on sunglasses and leisurely basked in the sun.

Lian Ye: "..."

Forget it, so many years have already passed.

Cooking isn't just once or twice; to be honest, I've long been used to it.

Qianshou Feijian and Yuzhibo Quannai sat in the living room, staring at each other with wide eyes.

Both suspected the other had hidden the novel.

But neither could bring themselves to ask...

They could only sit face‑to‑face, waiting for the other to speak first.

Days without the novel's continuation were truly meaningless.

It's all that damned Qianshou Feijian/Yuzhibo Quannai's fault!

The two let out matching cold snorts.

Hashirama, just entering the living room, scratched his head in confusion at the scene.

He didn't know what kind of dispute the two were having.

It's been several days without a reconciliation; even when they argued often before, it wasn't like this.

Looks like he'll need to find a chance to ask them privately.

Madara Uchiha also saw the two at odds on the sofa.

Strange, their cold war has lasted too long!

He thought a fight would make them reconcile, but now it seems not.

He still doesn't know whose fault it is...

Lian Ye, busy in the kitchen, had no idea what was happening in the living room.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care at all.

Qianshou Feijian and Yuzhibo Quannai's feud hasn't been just a day or two.

Anyway, in a few days they'll be back to normal.

The two really are, even as grown adults, still quarreling every day.

It's really no different from children...

After the meal, Lian Ye, as usual, lay in the courtyard basking in the sun.

A year passed, and Kaguya Otsutsuki never appeared; it seems his earlier worries were unnecessary.

Just think how Heijue could possibly be that clever!

At that moment, two people stood at the courtyard entrance.

It was the hastily arrived Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha of the Boruto era!

"Why are you always like this..."

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Lian Ye's idle posture and couldn't help feeling a bit helpless.

When he first arrived here, this guy was already sunbathing.

Coming back here again, and he's still sunbathing!

"Sasuke, is this the Lian Ye you mentioned?"

Naruto Uzumaki curiously sized up Lian Ye, staring at his head of white hair with shocked, widened eyes.

"You actually became a Ten‑Tails Jinchuriki!"

He had seen this state before on Uchiha Obito and Madara Uchiha, unmistakably the state of becoming a Ten‑Tails Jinchuriki!

Sasuke Uchiha naturally also noticed, but he said nothing.

Given this guy's habit of using dragon veins to cause trouble, it's likely he snatched the opportunity that Uchiha Obito and Madara Uchiha had in some timeline…

"How did you two get here?!"

Lian Ye looked in surprise at the two standing at the doorway.

"I have something to tell you!"

Sasuke Uchiha's expression was solemn, with no intention of reminiscing.

Instead, he recounted in detail the scene he had witnessed in their timeline.

"Just as I thought, it would turn out like this…"

It seems his guess was correct; Heijue really used the dragon vein to rescue Kaguya from another timeline.

Now a large group of Kaguya gathered together, which is indeed a troublesome matter!

He just doesn't understand, for the moment, what Kaguya's purpose is.

Could it be that they rescued Kaguya from every timeline and gathered to oppose the Otsutsuki Clan?!

Given Kaguya's wariness toward her clan, that possibility doesn't seem impossible!

It seems that once Kaguya arrives in their timeline, it's necessary to go up and scout the situation.

Honestly, one or two Kaguya he isn't afraid of.

But a swarm of Kaguya together would spook anyone who shows up.

During the Boruto era, the Otsutsuki formation was all wiped out by Kaguya…

Lian Ye couldn't help but get a headache; had he known, he shouldn't have recklessly used the dragon vein back then.

Now it's all gone wrong; the situation is serious.

He can only hope Kaguya has no interest in destroying the Ninja World.

Otherwise it would truly be a trouble.

"You don't need to worry too much," Sasuke Uchiha said, comforting him: "Those Kaguya just happened to eliminate a formation, then released the sealed Kaguya and left."

"In other words, they currently have no intention of destroying the Ninja World; otherwise we couldn't have come here."

"Sasuke is right; Kaguya shouldn't destroy the Ninja World!" Naruto Uzumaki agreed.

Qianshou Feijian and Yuzhibo Quannai arrived in the courtyard, naturally having heard the earlier conversation.

The thing that kid worried about ultimately did happen.

"Second‑generation uncle!"

Naruto Uzumaki looked at Qianshou Feijian with the gaze of someone examining a rare species.

"You really aren't dead!"

Sasuke had previously said that Lian Ye's timeline differed from the one they knew.

At first Naruto thought Sasuke was exaggerating, but now it truly seems different.

Qianshou Feijian: "……"

Is this guy really Minato's child?

Looking at his intellect, he seems more like that kid's descendant…

Both are dimwitted, so staying together will surely give them common topics.

"Wow! First‑generation uncle and Madara Uchiha aren't dead either!"

The two who had just returned from outside looked speechlessly at the noisy blond‑haired one.

This guy is really too rude.

"There's no way anyone would curse someone to die right there…"

"Naruto, stop talking."

Sasuke Uchiha placed a hand on his forehead, worried that if Naruto kept speaking, they might not be able to stand up and leave here today.

"Hahaha, you're really interesting."

Senju Hashirama laughed and patted Naruto's shoulder, feeling this guy really suited his taste.

"Hahaha, first‑generation uncle, you're also quite amusing!"

Naruto Uzumaki said cheerfully.

Madara Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha: "……"
