Chapter 79: The Ancestors' Wisdom

Qianshou Feijian said nothing, taking the scroll on the table into his hand.

He glanced at it; the seal on the scroll was indeed somewhat complex.

But at this level, it was still easy to undo.

"Here." Qianshou Feijian handed the scroll to Lian Ye, "It's undone."

Lian Ye was a bit surprised, "That fast?"

He knew this wouldn't stump Qianshou Feijian, but hadn't expected it to be opened so quickly.

He had thought it would take some effort.

Seeing Lian Ye's shocked expression, Qianshou Feijian said proudly:

"A seal of this level poses no difficulty for me."

He continued, "Open the scroll and let me see what's inside?"

"Uncle, your meddling is a bit overreaching." Lian Ye tucked the scroll at his waist, having no intention of opening it.

The previous owner of this scroll was a senior of the Uchiha Clan.

If this old kid found out, there'd be no place for him.

Better not let him know...

Qianshou Feijian twitched the corner of his mouth, but didn't dwell on the matter.

Since Lian Ye was unwilling to show him, that was that.

If he knew the scroll came from a Uchiha, his attitude wouldn't be like this.

Unfortunately, Tuan Cang and Xiaochun offered no explanation.

Qianshou Feijian naturally wouldn't know this.

He looked at the three, waved his hand, "You may leave now."

Hearing that, the three turned and left.

Suddenly, Qianshou Feijian called out to Lian Ye, "Kid, wait a moment."

"What's up, Uncle?" Lian Ye turned his head.

"I won't go back for lunch," Qianshou Feijian said, then looked at Lian Ye expectantly.

He was hinting that Lian Ye should bring him lunch.

"Got it."

Lian Ye nodded, then turned and left.

"For today's lunch, I'll just make a single serving, right?"

Qianshou Feijian: "???"

He stared blankly at Lian Ye as he left, unable to recover his thoughts for a long while.

After a while, he murmured softly, "Did that kid understand?"

If he understood, that's fine; if not, he'd have to eat a Soldier's Ration Pill for lunch.

Thinking of that, Qianshou Feijian felt a bit regretful, "Had I known, I would have just had that kid bring me lunch."

Now he's too embarrassed to catch up with Lian Ye; he still wants to save face.

He could only irritably handle the documents on the table.

He hoped the kid would have a conscience and bring him lunch…

————————

Qianshou Feijian Residence.

Lian Ye returned to his room and, eager, opened the Storage Scroll.

He wanted to see what the senior had actually left for him.

"Bang"

As the white smoke vanished, a pile of scrolls appeared on the ground.

Lian Ye, seeing this, was a bit dumbfounded, "These can't all be Storage Scrolls, can they?"

He stepped forward, picked up a scroll, and found it wasn't a Storage Scroll and bore no seal.

Lian Ye opened the scroll and discovered it recorded a Fire Release Ninjutsu.

But he had never heard of this technique, "Falling Fire?"

He continued to examine the scroll; this technique's release method differed from ordinary ones.

It wasn't released forward, but upward into the air.

After being released into the air, the fireball, under the caster's control, split into dozens or even hundreds of fireballs that rained down onto the ground.

It qualifies as a wide-area attack ninjutsu, classified as Grade A.

Lian Ye's eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "This technique is impressive!"

Especially when used on the Battlefield, its lethality is great.

Lian Ye hurriedly flipped through other scrolls; the Fire Release Ninjutsu recorded there were all very practical, at least stronger than his frequently used Great Fireball.

"Truly the wisdom of the ancestors!" Lian Ye mused while turning the pages.

As he opened the next scroll and saw its contents, his pupils suddenly contracted, "It actually contains this technique?!"

The scroll read: 【Forbidden Technique that Rewrites Fate — Izanagi.】

Principle: Izanagi can transform all adverse factors the caster faces in reality, including death, into a dream.

Simultaneously, it converts favorable factors from the dream into reality; it is a ninjutsu that can warp reality.

Activation condition: The caster must fuse the power of the Sharingan with their own chakra into the technique to activate Izanagi.

Effect: After using Izanagi, the caster enters an absolutely invincible state for a period; any attack cannot harm them, as all damage is transformed into scenes within the dream.

Technique cost: Using Izanagi will permanently cause the loss of a Sharingan's light, and that eye can no longer use any Dojutsu.

"Trading one eye for a life, that's really a good deal," Lian Ye remarked.

Becoming a one‑eyed dragon is at least better than dying.

Moreover, as long as one has a Sharingan, this ninjutsu can be activated, meaning that with enough eyes one can revive many times.

This was proven in his teammate Zhi Cun Tuan Zang.

That arm's Sharingan was practically a resurrection armor.

And Madara Uchiha used this technique to fake death and escape.

However, Lian Ye has always had a question: since using Izanagi causes one eye to go blind.

How did Madara manage to activate a pair of Rinnegan with just one eye?

First, rule out that he used someone else's eye to perform Izanagi.

After all, Madara couldn't be fighting Hashirama, yank out his eyeball, and then perform Izanagi…

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it any more."

Lian Ye intends to first master this Forbidden Technique.

That way, his own life gains an extra layer of insurance.

The principle behind Izanagi is simple; Lian Ye can learn it after watching it twice.

Next, he begins studying the Fire Release Ninjutsu left by his predecessor.

These ninjutsu will definitely become one of his major finishing moves in the future.

They might even break the curse that Fire Release cannot kill immortal beings…

Truly, the wisdom of the ancestors!

"I wonder how the predecessor who could develop such ninjutsu actually died?"

Time always passes quickly when one is engrossed.

It was noon.

Lian Ye stopped studying the new ninjutsu and went into the kitchen to start making lunch.

He obviously understood Qianshou Feijian's hint.

The reason he didn't respond was just to annoy that guy.

Who prevented him from letting me go out on missions?

That was one thing, but making him do tomb‑raiding, a heartless act, was even worse.

But thanks to that misfortune, he received a gift from his predecessor.

Lian Ye was in a good mood today and didn't intend to argue with that old kid.

After preparing the meal, he wasn't in a hurry to eat.

Instead, he packed the food in a Food Box and sent it to Qianshou Feijian first.

"It's getting late; the uncle must be hungry by now."

————————

Hokage Office.

Qianshou Feijian glanced at the time; it was almost one o'clock.

"Damn, this kid really won't deliver the food to me!" Qianshou Feijian's eyelids twitched wildly.

He didn't know whether Lian Ye was being deliberate or truly hadn't understood…

Qianshou Feijian took out a few Soldier's Ration Pills from the drawer and sighed.

"Sigh, just eat a few anyway."

At that moment, he sensed a familiar chakra approaching.

"That kid…"

Qianshou Feijian's mouth twitched slightly upward as he placed the Soldier's Ration Pills back into the drawer.

Soon after, Lian Ye's voice came from outside the office.

"Uncle, the food has been delivered to you."

……

ps: still on time, hehehe
