Chapter 727: What Was Supposed to Come Still Came

"Qianshou Feijian, do you think Kaguya Otsutsuki will come to our timeline?"

Yuzhibo Quannai said with a solemn expression.

He has barely managed to enjoy hard‑won peaceful days, so he naturally does not want Kaguya Otsutsuki's appearance to change his life.

Older brother, Lian Yejun, Senju Hashirama, and the archrival Qianshou Feijian...

He does not want his tranquil days to be shattered!

During this period, Quan Nai's mood was terrible; according to Sasuke and Naruto Uzumaki's accounts, Kaguya Otsutsuki is extremely powerful.

And it's a whole group of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

He worries that Lian Yejun and his older brother are no match, and that the once‑warm days will never return.

Those who have embraced the light cannot yearn for darkness again.

Consequently, his mood has been low, and he constantly looks for an excuse to argue with Feijian to vent his emotions.

"They will come."

Qianshou Feijian noticed the archrival's nervous demeanor, fell silent for a moment, and then spoke frankly.

He didn't know why Quan Nai was asking this, but had no intention of lying or deceiving him...

"Heh, you've always been such a boring person."

Yuzhibo Quannai looked at the archrival's unsmiling face and shook his head in a somewhat irritated manner.

"Is it really that hard to let you comfort me?"

Sure enough, he shouldn't have said those things to the inherently evil Qianshou Feijian.

If he has the time, he'd rather hide in Lian Yejun's room and look for where those romance novels are hidden...

If that fails, he'll have to lay his cards on the table with Lian Yejun, and then he can openly read the books.

Qianshou Feijian noticed Quan Nai suddenly fell silent, assuming his words had hurt the other party.

After a moment of hesitation, he finally spoke against his conscience:

"Um... perhaps Kaguya Otsutsuki might not come after all. The Ninja World has so many timelines; Kaguya can't possibly traverse them all..."

He said this while observing the archrival's reaction.

Unfortunately, Yuzhibo Quannai was completely lost in his own world and didn't notice at all what he had just said.

Yuzhibo Quannai only vaguely heard Feijian muttering something and instinctively turned his head to look back.

"What did you just say?"

Qianshou Feijian: "..."

His hand hardened; his fist tightened.

He finally mustered a conscience, intending to comfort the archrival, but this bastard insulted him in this manner!

In his view, Quan Nai clearly heard it, pretended not to, and then forced him to repeat it!

Later, he could openly mock him for being childish.

"Hmph."

Qianshou Feijian let out a cold hum, turned, and returned to his room.

Leaving only a bewildered Yuzhibo Quannai, who muttered, "What nonsense is this guy up to again?!"

They were chatting just fine, so why did the mood suddenly turn sour?

Never mind, I won't waste my time debating with an old man; otherwise the reputation could be ruined.

In the courtyard.

The four, lying on chairs admiring the moon, instinctively looked toward the living room.

"Weren't Feijian and Quan Nai just having a good chat? Why did they suddenly start arguing?"

Senju Hashirama was a bit perplexed, his confused gaze falling on his close friend.

"I don't know."

Madara Uchiha didn't even respond, too lazy to converse with Hashirama.

This guy is too stupid; even if he speaks, it's incomprehensible.

Instead of trying to explain, why not enjoy the breeze and admire the moon...

"Oh."

Senju Hashirama gave a weak reply, no longer dwelling on the earlier matter, and looked up at the stars and the moon.

Anyway, Feijian and Quan Nai's quarrels aren't a new thing.

He believes they'll make up the next day and then continue to argue over various matters.

For such a long time, the few of them have become accustomed to it.

"Tuan Cang, go buy groceries yourself tomorrow; I plan to sleep until noon before getting up!"

Lian Ye's sleep quality is excellent; as long as he doesn't want to get up, he can sleep for a long time.

Although his physical condition allows him to recover after just an hour of sleep, he believes the longer he sleeps, the better.

He has nothing to do most of the time, so of course he slacks off!

He worked hard enough in the first half of his life; the latter half is definitely for enjoying life.

If it weren't for Kaguya Otsutsuki's threat, he wouldn't even bother becoming a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Fine."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang felt a bit helpless; he's become accustomed to his good brother's slacking.

When he's with Lian Ye, he always gets the feeling of taking care of an old master.

"Kid, don't you find sleeping all day boring?"

Madara Uchiha glared at Lian Ye with resentment.

This kid clearly has such an outrageous constitution, yet instead of working hard to get stronger, just knows how to slack off.

If he had such an outrageous constitution, he'd probably have already found another way to achieve Ninja World peace.

"It's not boring," Lian Ye explained upon hearing it: "Sleeping, in my view, is a good way to relax."

When he was young, learning the Flying Thunder God required intense brain use, which made him later dislike using his mind for anything.

Because that made him feel exhausted, he prefers doing things that don't require thinking.

For example, sunbathing, sleeping…

Madara Uchiha: "……"

Fine, this kid is completely useless now.

Trying to convince the other to become disciplined is as meaningless as playing a lute to a cow!

Madara Uchiha couldn't help recalling the scene when he first saw Lian Ye.

It seemed that from that moment, Lian Ye revealed his slack‑off nature.

In the past, he and Hashirama sent Lian Ye out of the Village to cook for them, and the kid ended up taking a few S-rank missions.

Both explicitly and implicitly, they said he must finish the missions before he can start cooking.

Put bluntly, the kid just didn't want to, implying that he and Hashirama must finish the missions first!

Later, the missions Lian Ye took were all completed by Madara.

Madara Uchiha founded the Village without ever taking a mission, yet it backfired because of this kid Lian Ye.

"In the blink of an eye, you both have grown up."

Senju Hashirama looked toward Lian Ye and Tuan Cang with a sigh.

Time really flies!

"Alright, Uncle Hashirama!"

Lian Ye, seeing the tone was off, quickly interrupted him.

Fearing that Uncle Hashirama would keep talking and start introducing partners to the two of them.

After all, Aunt Shuihu used to be like that, making small talk…

Moreover, there are more singles at home than just the two of them; you could say everyone is a singleton!

Senju Hashirama gave a sheepish smile.

He only wanted to remark on how quickly time passed, never expecting Lian Ye to cut him off.

Fine, if they won't let him speak, then they won't.

The warmth was only fleeting.

……

"Finally back!"

Heijue was moved, tears welling up.

The plan was clearly proposed by it, aiming to resurrect its mother at the first opportunity.

But its luck was terrible.

It traversed about ten times without returning to its original timeline.

After an unknown number of attempts, it finally returned as it had hoped.

"Chu Zi, after mother is revived, I'll take you to enjoy bliss!"

Around ten Kaguya Otsutsuki descended upon the Ninja World, and the sleeping Lian Ye immediately sensed the overwhelming aura.

Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, who lived in the neighboring courtyard, opened their eyes simultaneously.

What was meant to come has indeed arrived!
