Chapter 775: Just the Best Friend?

Yuzhi Bo Lianye originally wanted to tease Zhi Cun Tuan Zang whenever the chance arose.

But later, because of the matter with Qianshou Feijian, he forgot.

He also doesn't know whether Tuan Cang was successfully turned.

Unfortunately, he was seeking death at that time, so he had no chance to see what would happen in the future.

"He isn't married; he says he's not interested in women."

Although he doesn't know why the other party asked, he still answered honestly.

Come to think of it, that guy Tuan Cang always seemed odd.

In the past, Lian Ye didn't think much and just assumed they had a good relationship.

Of course, he feels the same way now.

Yuzhi Bo Lianye's eyes flickered at the words, and his mouth involuntarily curved.

"Not interested in women?"

It seems that incident left a deep impression on Tuan Cang back then.

To the point that he remained unmarried for life.

His only regret is that he never got another chance to tease Tuan Cang.

In the blink of an eye, so much time passed, and everything from before has changed.

"Alright then."

Yuzhi Bo Lianye wearily waved his hand.

"If you're fine, go out, and after you finish cooking, hand over the body to me."

"No problem."

Lian Ye nodded without further comment, and his figure vanished in the mental space.

"Tsk tsk, seems the IQ really isn't high."

Yuzhi Bo Lianye felt a bit helpless about the Transmigrator's audacious actions.

Isn't that guy afraid that he might seize the body in the meantime?

Forget it, I won't fight a fool for the body.

Konoha Village.

Renye Flower paid rent for a small courtyard; he couldn't stay outside forever.

Temporarily settling down is necessary.

These years he has traveled countless timelines, and now feels he can live anywhere.

He's too lazy to keep running around.

Luckily he has a system and the Original Body, so his days aren't lonely.

Light a fire and cook.

Since Zhi Cun Tuan Zang left, he rarely cooks.

He usually orders takeout.

The remaining time he spends lying in the courtyard, basking in the sun to pass the time.

If not for the Original Body's request, he wouldn't cook himself.

In the mental space.

Lian Ye's figure reappeared.

"The meal is ready."

Yuzhi Bo Lianye's eyes lit up, and he involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Alright, give me control of the body for a while, and you just rest here."

Saying that, he seized control of the body and, in passing, blocked Lian Ye's perception of the outside world.

"Hey, don't use my body for evil!"

Lian Ye, seeing this, feared the other might act recklessly and cause trouble.

Don't underestimate the extent to which a pure‑blood Uchiha can cause trouble.

He might suddenly decide to destroy Konoha!

"Got it."

Yuzhi Bo Lianye replied, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"And besides, this is clearly my body."

Lian Ye said nothing further, lying in the mental space with his eyes closed to rest.

Although he's not sunbathing in the courtyard, recuperating in the mental space is fine.

Yuzhi Bo Lianye looked at the sumptuous feast on the table, and his consciousness, briefly entering the mental space, was instantly at a loss for words.

Sure enough, a slacker can slack off anywhere.

That's perfect!

Then I can carry him on my back and secretly do some over‑the‑top deeds.

Hehehe…

Thinking of what he's about to do, he can't help but want to burst out laughing.

"Tsk tsk, the Transmigrator's cooking is indeed good."

Yuzhi Bo Lianye devoured the food ravenously.

He finally understood why Qianshou Feijian, that glutton, cared so much about him.

It turned out he coveted the Transmigrator's culinary skills!

No kidding, the taste is really pretty good!

When I lived in the Orphanage before, where have I ever eaten such delicious food?

From now on I can enjoy gourmet food every day; life is truly getting better and better.

Finally I can experience the joy Qianshou Feijian had eighty years ago.

The huge spread Lian Ye specially prepared was completely cleared by Yuzhi Bo Lianye.

Not even the broth left in the plates was spared.

No bowls need washing.

That look is literally the reincarnation of a starving ghost!

"Cooking so delicious, it's a pity if you're not a woman."

Yuzhi Bo Lianye felt a bit emotional.

If he were a woman, just this skill alone would definitely attract many suitors.

I wonder if that old kid Qianshou Feijian can hold back?

The adoptive father developed an unusual feeling toward his adoptive daughter.

Tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me excited!

What a pity, truly a pity.

At this moment Yuzhi Bo Lianye was, for the first time, dissatisfied with his own gender.

If he were female, would Transmigrator's good brother Zhi Cun Tuan Zang gradually fall for him through daily interactions?

Suddenly, he had a pretty good idea…

"Heheh, definitely interesting!"

As the words fell, his figure vanished instantly, and when he reappeared he was already in Tuan Cang's family courtyard.

Gazing at the familiar courtyard, his memory returned to the scene where he once tried to bend the other person's will.

"Qianshou Feijian did me such a terrible thing; today I'll start collecting a bit of interest."

Yuzhi Bo Lianye headed toward the house.

At that moment Zhi Cun Tuan Zang was sitting on the sofa reading a book, and noticed a person standing at the door.

He instinctively looked up, and then his eyes lost focus.

Obviously he fell under a Genjutsu of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan.

After becoming a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, all his stats improved.

Even his Genjutsu was enhanced.

Making the defenseless Zhi Cun Tuan Zang fall for it with ease.

"Hehe, here's a nice dream for you."

Yuzhi Bo Lianye pinched Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's chin; the latter gave no response, like a marionette.

He didn't actually do anything excessive.

He simply made Tuan Cang relive his and the Transmigrator's experience within the Genjutsu.

Only the Transmigrator's gender had shifted a bit; simply put, in the Genjutsu World Lian Ye is a girl.

The two first met at Ninja School, then later trained together and undertook dangerous missions side by side.

And later helped each other on the Battlefield.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang fell to the ground, severely wounded.

Just as he thought he was about to meet his end here, a pretty figure wielding a Tachi stepped in front of him.

At that moment, Tuan Cang's dead‑silent heart jolted.

Later the girl knocked on his house door, hands clasped behind her back, and a flush appeared on her usually frost‑covered face.

That girl, who seemed utterly aloof to outsiders, only seemed to show this expression in front of him.

"Tuan Tuan, want to come to my place to bask in the sun? Uncle is handling official business in the office~"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang watched the girl's shy demeanor, his heart racing.

He seemed to develop feelings for this direction‑lost squad leader that went beyond comradeship…

Qianshou Feijian Residence.

"Tuan Tuan, quickly try the food I made; they're all dishes you love~"

The girl rested both hands on her chin, eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Is it tasty?"

"Mmm, very tasty!"

"If you like it, I'll make it again tomorrow."

Second Hokage Qianshou Feijian was preparing to retire.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang wore a worried expression, fearing that the teacher would pass the Hokage position to Yuanfei Rizhan.

Just as he felt uneasy, the girl found him.

"Tuan Tuan, don't be afraid; in my eyes you are the true Hokage!"

"I'll tell Uncle that you are the most suitable person to become Hokage!"

"Thank you."

"No need to thank me; aren't we the best friends?"

Hearing that, Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's moved feeling vanished, leaving an inexplicable sense of loss.

"Just best friends…"
