Chapter 754: Madara, shall I bring you back later to meet Lian Ye?

A few minutes later, Lian Ye, his nose bruised and face swollen, collapsed onto the ground.

Damn Heavenly Curtain (the screen) system!

It's bad enough that it won't let him participate in the quiz for a reward.

The question posed and the displayed footage are both from his own time and space.

The worst part is that it exposed his secret…

Mouth of the cave.

Madara Uchiha and Senju Hashirama sat on chairs, tilting their heads back to watch the image on the Heavenly Curtain (the screen).

"Hashirama, that kid is the Lian Ye you told me about?"

Madara Uchiha finally understood why Hashirama knew about his Izanagi Fake Death.

So it was this kid pulling the strings!

"Ha ha, you caught me," Senju Hashirama said, awkwardly scratching his head, but quickly returned to normal, talking incessantly.

"I'm telling you, the food Lian Ye makes is incredibly delicious; once you taste it, you'll definitely love it!"

Madara Uchiha gave no reaction to that.

His sole goal is to see the Ninja World achieve complete peace, and he has no interest at all in so‑called gourmet food.

Besides, even if that kid's food is tasty, how far can it really go?

In his view, Hashirama's words are merely an attempt to improve his impression of that kid.

Madara Uchiha does have some interest in that kid, being able to guess that he used Izanagi Fake Death.

He does indeed possess a certain level of skill.

Later, he'll see if he can be coaxed over to help realize the ideal of Ninja World peace!

Warring States Period.

Qianshou Feijian wore a puzzled expression, "Who on earth is that kid?!"

He shouted "Uncle Hashirama!" with each bite, indicating they get along well!

But why would the future big brother have a good relationship with a Uchiha Xiao Gui?!

Could it be that…

He instinctively looked at Madara Uchiha and Yuzhibo Quannai.

That kid is their child?!

No, if Lian Ye truly were their child, he wouldn't be calling Madara by name.

Damn, who exactly is that kid?!

During the Fourth Ninja World War.

"Eh?" Impure Earth Hashirama scratched his head, a confused look on his face, "Who is that child?"

In his recollection, he had never seen the other party.

But the content on the screen didn't seem fabricated.

"Feijian, do you know what's happening?"

After pondering for a while, he finally decided to ask his younger brother for help.

"Big brother, you really don't know that kid?"

Impure Earth Feijian's expression grew solemn, hinting at a suspicion.

"Yeah, I don't know him."

"The content on that screen must be from another world!"

Impure Earth Feijian explained.

"In that world, you know that Uchiha Xiao Gui, and the relationship seems good."

At this moment, he finally understood why the Heavenly Curtain (the screen) said they answered incorrectly.

It turned out the question wasn't from their world, but from another world!

In other words, getting intel in advance meant nothing…

The events of that world bore little relevance to theirs.

It seems obtaining the Heavenly Curtain (the screen)'s reward isn't that easy.

The Q&A group instantly became lively.

Sasuke Uchiha 【Middle‑aged】: "I get it, the content on the screen is different from what we know!"

Qianshou Feijian 【Impure Earth Reincarnation】: "You're right, it's not the same world, so the answer is naturally different."

Uchiha Obito 【Orange Mask】: "Heh, I see now."

Kakashi Hatake: "Dai Tu, it really is you!"

Kakashi, seeing Dai Tu speak for the second time, showed a rare spark of excitement in his dead‑fish eyes.

His former comrade didn't die!

But his mood soon sank.

Since Dai Tu didn't die back then, why hasn't he returned all this time?

It seems he should know about Lin's death.

Otherwise he wouldn't be so reluctant to come back!

"You persistent ghost!"

Uchiha Obito, seeing Kakashi's remark, darkened his expression beneath the mask.

If they hadn't once been comrades.

Just because Kakashi died at Lin's hands, he couldn't let the other go!

……

"Madara Uchiha, after finding himself no match for you, performed Izanagi Fake Death, hiding in the shadows to prepare to carry out his plan…"

"That's all my viewpoint."

Lian Ye told Hashirama his opinion, "If you want to verify, you can go take a look at Madara's corpse."

"I understand, Lian Ye!"

Hashirama was silent for a moment and chose to believe.

"Lian Ye, please do me a favor, I'm begging you!"

The scene shifts.

On a cliff, a figure wearing a conical hat stood, gazing at the distant outline of Konoha Village, eyes full of longing and relief.

The wind swept over the cliff, lifting a corner of the hat, revealing Hashirama's slightly pale face.

"Madara, I'm coming for you!"

The screen went completely dark.

Just when everyone thought it was over.

The screen lit up again.

In a dim cave, a few oil lamps hung on the stone walls.

Hashirama and Madara Uchiha sat in front of the campfire.

"Madara, I want to eat grilled fish!"

Madara Uchiha looked at his pitiful expression, was silent for a moment, then handed over a grilled fish.

"Hehehe, I knew you treat me the best!"

"Madara, let's go back to the village in a few days and have a look."

Hashirama took a bite of the grilled fish, his face beaming with a happy smile.

"I'll introduce you to a child then."

"Sure."

Madara Uchiha didn't refuse; if he hadn't agreed, he would have kept talking forever.

Better to go along with Hashirama's suggestion.

As long as it doesn't involve the Moon's Eye plan, generally he wouldn't refuse.

Otherwise that guy would show a pitiful, aggrieved look.

The scene on the Heavenly Curtain ends here.

【This Heavenly Curtain does not contain a hidden agenda; if you dare doubt its reality again, punishment will be imposed upon you!】

Everyone, seeing this, fell silent.

Upon learning that the above scene came from another timeline, they instantly realized the Heavenly Curtain was indeed not fabricated.

They therefore stopped shouting.

Otherwise, actually being punished later would be troublesome.

Although they didn't understand the Heavenly Curtain's ability, it could spontaneously pull people from different eras together for interaction.

Even the legendary Sage of Six Paths couldn't achieve such a method!

Thus it is even more unwise to provoke it.

……

"Big brother!"

Qianshou Feijian, seeing the scene on the Heavenly Curtain, clenched his fist, making a crackling sound.

He works hard every day in the village handling administrative affairs.

It turned out that Big brother's Fake Death and Madara Uchiha eloped, then lived in a cave eating grilled fish.

They never even gave him and his sister‑in‑law any consideration!

Seeing the angry Qianshou Feijian, Lian Ye nervously swallowed his saliva.

He had just been beaten, and didn't want to be beaten up again.

"Uncle, calm down a bit…"

Lian Ye was truly afraid that the angry Qianshou Feijian would take out his frustration on him.

He truly despised that damned Heavenly Curtain!

If the situation allowed, he would definitely kill it!

Inside the cave.

Hashirama's smile froze on his face.

"It's over!"

Their Fake Death seems impossible to hide.

The Fake Death was actually exposed by the Heavenly Curtain!

He could already imagine himself being torn apart by the angry Feijian and the Mito Clan.

"Madara, how about I bring you back later to meet Lian Ye?"

……
