Chapter 86: Did I Let You Go?

Ahhh—

Uchiha Liehuo let out a gut‑wrenching scream; his ribs were clearly broken.

Uchiha Shun saw this, instinctively furrowed his brow, but said nothing.

"Remember, when facing a strong person, keep your tail tucked and act like a human," Lian Ye said from his lofty height, looking at the pale‑faced Liehuo.

He really couldn't understand Liehuo's behavior…

Clearly a weakling, yet he dared to mock someone stronger than him.

Isn't this just courting death?

Lian Ye is not a brainwashed‑by‑Will‑of‑Fire type like Qimu Shuo Mao.

When faced with a weakling's slander, his first thought wasn't to eliminate those who dared to slander him, but to silently endure.

In the end, his Dao heart shattered and he chose suicide…

If it were Lian Ye, those whiners would have been dead long ago.

A strong one's dignity is not something a weakling can trample at will.

Once you anger a strong person, just wait for your head to hit the ground!

Regarding Uchiha Liehuo's provocation, he didn't go as far as killing him.

This is Konoha Village, and killing a fellow villager is absolutely forbidden.

But giving him a little lesson is still permissible…

The commotion here attracted onlookers; both ninjas and villagers began whispering.

"Hey, look, isn't that guy on the ground a Uchiha?"

"It really is! Tsk tsk, that kid's finished, daring to provoke a Uchiha."

"No, that guy has a Sharingan!"

"So it's an internal conflict within the Uchiha clan…"

Uchiha Shun saw the onlookers around him and frowned displeased.

He looked at Lian Ye, "Lian Ye, give me some face, stop it."

This was Shun's first time speaking to Lian Ye in years.

Lian Ye looked at Shun with interest, "Give you some face? Who do you think you are, the eldest? Is your face that big?"

His impression of Shun was merely that he was a childhood playmate of his Original Body.

The two didn't have much overlap, especially after he left the Uchiha, they barely kept in touch.

At first, Lian Ye still occasionally went to the Orphanage, but after realizing his clan didn't favor him, he never went to the Uchiha again.

He's not some despicable person who would rush to grovel for others.

Uchiha Shun was stunned, apparently not expecting Lian Ye to say that.

"Do you really think you're going to become enemies of the Uchiha?" another teen, his face angry, looked at Lian Ye.

With so many watching, their Uchiha faces were all disgraced.

Especially the one on the ground, who was the Uchiha Clan Leader's son…

Thinking that, he wished he could slip into a crack in the ground.

As for why they didn't strike Lian Ye, it's obvious they couldn't beat him!

He certainly didn't want to be trampled like Liehuo.

"You really don't take us Uchiha seriously enough,"

At that moment, three Uchiha youths walked over.

Lian Ye happened to know those three; they were the classmates Uchiha Reifeng, Uchiha Lin, and Uchiha Yan.

Liehuo, who had been wailing on the ground, saw the leading teen, immediately stopped his cries, and with a look of grievance said, "Brother, he hit me…"

"Useless, shut up," Uchiha Reifeng coldly looked at Liehuo.

He had no affection for this brother who was more of a failure than a success.

Already feeling wronged, Liehuo became even more aggrieved by that remark.

"Yo, aren't these my defeated subordinates?" Lian Ye said with a mocking grin at the three, "What, you came looking for a venue?"

Uchiha Reifeng's face darkened, "Do you really think this is still like when we were in school?"

These years under his father's guidance, he has long become a different person.

Speaking, he activated his Sharingan, and three black tomoe appeared beneath his crimson pupils.

Lian Ye showed no expression; after all, he wasn't the only one who could get stronger.

He didn't react much to Reifeng's activation of the Three Tomoe.

After all, there is still a gap between Sharingans…

Uchiha Reifeng saw Lian Ye's calm face, instinctively clenched his fist, "You always act all high‑and‑mighty!"

Just like when we were in school, and still now!

All these years he worked hard to get stronger, just to surpass Lian Ye.

But this guy, aside from missions, stays in Senju Clan Land, so he never had a chance to meet him.

Now that he finally found a chance, he must have a fight with Lian Ye!

Lian Ye, seeing Reifeng's hostile intent, drew the weapon at his waist.

"What, you want to fight me?"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Uchiha Reifeng said nothing, directly launching the attack.

Lian Ye raised an eyebrow, "This lunatic."

You should know his younger brother is still beneath his own feet.

Isn't it said that the Uchiha Clan are all little‑brother‑obsessed?

What the heck is this…

Facing the whistling fireball, Lian Ye kicked Lie Huo aside with a single foot, then Shisui's body dodged the fireball.

The massive fireball flew straight toward several villagers watching the spectacle from afar.

They stared dumbfounded as the fireball headed straight at them.

Fortunately, the surrounding ninja reacted in time, using Earth Release to block the fireball.

Uchiha Reifeng was just about to resume his attack when he noticed Lian Ye looking at him with a mocking expression.

"Heh, using Ninjutsu in the Village almost hurt the villagers, Uchiha Reifeng, you're finished!"

Hearing that, Uchiha Reifeng's face turned pale.

It was only then that he realized the seriousness of the situation…

Using Ninjutsu in the Village isn't a big deal, but hurting a villager would be trouble.

He instinctively glanced at the villagers in the distance who had nearly been scared to death.

"Damn it, why are these guys just watching for fun?" Uchiha Reifeng snarled.

These ninja aren't any kind of allies; stay out of the fun!

At that moment, Qianshou Feijian and Uchiha Tanaka arrived simultaneously.

Uchiha Tanaka saw his little son unconscious on the ground, his face darkening as he looked at Qianshou Feijian, "Hokage, does this incident require an explanation from our Uchiha?"

Before Qianshou Feijian could speak, Lian Ye cut Tanaka off,

"Explanation? What kind of explanation do you want? Your useless son came over to provoke me, then I beat him; is this explanation enough for you?"

"Tsk tsk, Tanaka Clan leader raises his son poorly." Lian Ye sneered, "It's one thing that his innate strength is weak, but his mind is also lacking."

Uchiha Tanaka's face flushed green and then purple at the words.

"Shut up!"

Since both sides have already shown their teeth, Lian Ye naturally won't indulge the opponent.

The onlookers around let out exclamations.

They didn't expect Uchiha clan members to dare speak to the clan leader like that—what a big news!

"Lian Ye, why are you talking to the Tanaka Clan leader?" Qianshou Feijian said reproachfully, yet a smile tugged at his mouth.

Uchiha Tanaka saw this and almost blew his mouth off in fury.

These two rascals are colluding, bullying the Uchiha together!

"Kid, we'll see about that!" Uchiha Tanaka said, picking up the unconscious Lie Huo from the ground and turning away.

At that moment, Qianshou Feijian's deep voice drifted out calmly.

"Uchiha Tanaka, did I let you go?"

ps: Though it's half an hour late, it's still the third watch; everyone, keep generating power.
