Chapter 767: The Landmark Event That Ended the Warring States Era Was

~7 min read 1,343 words

Qianshou Feijian Residence.

"Oh no!"

Lian Ye abruptly sat up from his chair, not even caring that the popcorn in his lap had scattered everywhere.

His eyes widened behind his sunglasses—the thing he'd been dreading had finally happened.

The Heavenly Curtain was really going to broadcast his Cultural Class scores.

A lifetime's reputation was about to be ruined in an instant!

Qianshou Feijian shook his head helplessly at the sight.

If you'd known this day would come, why did you act that way back then?

If only that kid hadn't slept through class back in the day, his Cultural Class score wouldn't have been a five.

Now look at the mess.

He was about to lose face in front of the entire Ninja World.

He couldn't imagine what expression that kid would have on his face then.

"Lian Ye, are you okay?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang looked at his friend with concern; a Cultural Class score of only five had always been Lian Ye's sore spot.

Back then, someone had whispered about his grades, and he'd beaten them so badly they couldn't get out of bed for three days.

But now it was going to be exposed in front of everyone—no different from tearing open a wound and showing it to the crowd.

"Forget it, let it play."

The panic on Lian Ye's face vanished, and he lay back down in his chair.

Since things had come to this, he might as well eat.

It wasn't like he could stop the Heavenly Curtain anyway, so he might as well accept it calmly.

It looked like he'd come to terms with it, but really, he was out of options.

Qianshou Feijian and Zhi Cun Tuan Cang: "…"

They'd thought Lian Ye would react much more strongly, but they never expected him to accept it so quickly.

They could only say this guy's ability to accept things was beyond that of ordinary people!

Qianshou Feijian's gaze flickered.

This kid didn't take anything seriously—did that mean even if the experiment were exposed one day, it wouldn't be a big deal?

It seemed he really was different from ordinary Uchiha Clan's Members.

As expected of a child he'd raised and cultivated since childhood!

The worry that the experiment's exposure might send Lian Ye into a frenzy finally eased a little.

Yuzhibo Quannai 【Warring States】: "Why does the Heavenly Curtain say our answer was wrong?!"

Qianshou Feijian 【Warring States】: "Maybe he's not a genius kid, but a disgrace to your Uchiha."

Even at this moment, they still didn't think the correct answer was the one they'd eliminated.

They just thought they'd picked wrong with a fifty-fifty chance.

The Heavenly Curtain's answers really weren't that easy to get right; it looked like they might lose a year of their lifespan today.

Getting the answer right yesterday might have just been luck.

Just as everyone was lamenting their bad luck, the scene on the Heavenly Curtain slowly unfolded.

Inside the Ninja World School classroom.

"Final exams are starting, all of you behave!"

The homeroom teacher, Senju Takuma, stood at the podium holding a stack of test papers.

"If I catch anyone cheating, it's a straight zero!"

After a round of warnings, he began handing out the papers.

"I hope I do a bit better this time."

Xiao Lian Ye clasped his hands together and prayed earnestly.

Yuzhibo Quannai 【Warring States】: "???"

Seeing Lian Ye so nervous, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Could it be…

Impossible, how could something so absurd happen!

Even though a guess had formed in his mind, he still refused to believe it.

Naruto Uzumaki 【Ninja World War】: "No way, Lian Ye can't be a dead-last like me, can he?"

Hearing this remark, everyone's hearts tightened.

Maybe they had eliminated the correct answer from the very beginning!

That feeling was worse than swallowing a fly.

The esteemed genius of the Uchiha clan, yet his Cultural Class score was only a five.

No one would believe it if you told them!

Weren't geniuses supposed to excel in every area?!

Take those kids in Konoha Village who were called geniuses—they were nearly perfect in every aspect.

But why was it different when it came to Lian Ye?

Of course, these were all just their guesses; anything was possible before they saw the final result.

Many people continued watching with a sense of wishful thinking.

"What the hell kind of questions are these?!"

Xiao Lian Ye looked at the questions on the test paper, his brows furrowed so tightly they could crush a fly.

The number of questions on the test paper wasn't large, but it seemed he didn't know a single one.

He had clearly studied hard, yet this was the result.

It seemed he really wasn't cut out for studying.

Forget it, next time he wouldn't waste time on studying.

【Who were the founding leaders of Konoha Village, Kirigakure Village, Iwagakure Village, Cloud Hidden Village, and Sand Hidden Village?】

Except for those from the era before Konoha's founding, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the question.

A question like this was practically free points!

The leaders of the five most powerful ninja villages in the Ninja World—anyone with basic common sense could answer that.

It seemed the exam footage shown on the Heavenly Curtain had no direct connection to the answers.

"This question is easy!"

Xiao Lian Ye picked up his pen and began writing swiftly.

Seeing his confident demeanor, everyone's anxious hearts finally settled.

It really was a false alarm.

As long as he could answer the first question, that was about five points.

Even if he wrote a bit more for the rest, the worst wouldn't be just five points.

【First Hokage, Senju Hashirama.】

Everyone nodded in satisfaction, waiting for him to continue writing.

But in the footage, Xiao Lian Ye put down his pen.

Yuzhibo Quannai 【Warring States】: "???"

What does that mean?

Don't tell him Lian Ye only managed to write one!

What a joke!

Qianshou Feijian 【Warring States】: "..."

No wonder they answered wrong—this kid simply couldn't be judged by common sense!

If he guessed correctly, the answer should be 【A trash who only scored five points in Cultural Class】.

It seemed that to answer the Heavenly Curtain's questions in the future, they needed to break conventions.

Following normal logic, they basically couldn't answer correctly.

That kid's behavior simply couldn't be predicted by common sense!

Naruto Uzumaki 【Ninja World War】: "Hahaha, Sasuke, did you see that? Lian Ye's Cultural Class score is even worse than mine!"

He thought his own score was bad enough, but he never expected there to be a godly person even worse than him!

Sasuke Uchiha 【Ninja World War】: "..."

What's there to be happy about?

Maybe he was excited to have found a worthy opponent.

【The landmark event that ended the Warring States Period was ____, and what effect did it have on the Five Great Nations' ninja village system?】

"Tch, a bit difficult..."

Xiao Lian Ye pinched his chin, deep in thought, hesitated for a moment, then began to write.

【The Uchiha were defeated.】

As for the second question, he hadn't figured it out yet, so he left it blank for now, planning to come back to it after finishing the rest.

Warring States Era.

"Can defeating the Uchiha end the war?"

Senju Hashirama's eyes lit up, his gaze falling on his close friend.

Madara Uchiha: "..."

"Hahaha, that kid answered well!"

A rare smile appeared on Qianshou Feijian's usually calm face.

That smug look made Yuzhibo Quannai gnash his teeth in hatred.

"Qianshou Feijian, what are you so pleased about?!"

It was really infuriating!

Lian Ye was a member of the Uchiha Clan, yet he wrote such an answer.

It could only be said that after Konoha Village was founded, Senju Hashirama and Qianshou Feijian brainwashed the village.

Including the Uchiha Clan!

Subtly influencing them, they could alter the truth without anyone noticing.

No matter what, the Uchiha and the Senju could never reconcile!

Even less could they found a village!
