Zhong Er Shi Bing Wo Bu Zhi
The three tails took Ling and Brigade to a place where they could see the coastline, and then stopped swimming. "There is too little fog in the sea of the Land of Fire. Going any further will cause unnecessary commotion, so I will send you here."
"It's enough to send it here." Ling raised his hand and patted the three-tailed carapace and stood up, "There is also the ore matter. You don't trust me yet, but you still try your best to help me. Thank you very much. "
"I'm just helping Erwei."
"No matter who you originally intended to help, I got tangible benefits in the end. We are not hostile, so we still need to be grateful." Ling jumped off the edge of the three-tailed carapace, then turned around again and raised his hand to pat the three-tailed one. That hard and rough carapace, "I hope one day I can also know your name."
Sanwei glanced at Ling from a bird's eye view, but without answering, he sank into the water with bubbles and swam away.
"Although there have been many twists and turns, the successful achievement of the goal still makes people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts..." Ling let out a long breath, and his smile became helpless, "But am I disliked by him?"
"No, that guy quite likes you," Youlu, who was lying on Ling's head, yawned, "otherwise, he wouldn't have helped you."
"Really? It seems that I will have a chance to know his name when we meet again," Ling laughed softly, "But I still feel regretful..."
"what?"
"I only collected one-fifth of the ore Sanwei brought back..." Ling sighed, "It's obviously all high-quality materials."
"If you really want that kind of thing, I will take you to find the place where it slept." Youlu swung his tail, "I remember one time he slept for hundreds of years, and the sea where he slept turned into land. ——For such a long time, there is definitely good ore there that you can look forward to.”
"Eh-Have you actually slept for hundreds of years? It's really unimaginable..."
"Hmph~ There are so many things you can't think of..."
Ling nodded, "Indeed, before I came into contact with the three-tailed beast, I never thought that the influence of the tailed beast would be so close to me..."
One person and one cat embarked on the return journey in this relaxed atmosphere. Because he was carrying several precious ores for sealing scrolls, Ling did not take a detour to the Kingdom of Tang and went directly back to the clan to find the Elder Hall.
And after Ling handed over several scrolls filled with ores, the elders of the clan who had been attracted by Uchiha Gensugi and planned to jointly recommend Uchiha Akihiko to the position began to pretend to be deaf and dumb again - it's not that they didn't want to hurry up. The son decided to be the heir, but the things Ling brought back every time were too fragrant for the clan.
Even though Ling had told them that he would do his best to assist no matter who the next heir was, the elders still believed that Ling would assist Madara more carefully than Uchiha Akihiko.
Yes, Madara.
After another round of heir selection began, Madara grew at a terrifying speed and quickly suppressed all his peers in all aspects just like Ling had done before. He was already another undisputed candidate for the young patriarch.
If there's anything bad about this new heir...it's just his temper.
But for the Uchiha clan, as long as you are strong enough and have the ability to stand up for the clan, you are the clan leader that you can follow with confidence - the strong will always have some small privileges.
Not to mention that Uchiha Akihiko couldn't stand being repeatedly hinted at and wanted to fight for power, so he simply refused to return to the clan because he was immersed in the mission.
Ling Ziran didn't know about another round of intrigue among the elders, or he didn't care if he knew about it - after all, no matter who the two of them were as the clan leader, they wouldn't have the slightest influence on him, and would only make him use his hands more freely. .
So after telling the elders about his need for new weapons, Ling returned home relaxed, but before he could go to his brothers to get close to each other, he was called to the study by Uchiha Tajima, and from Uchiha Tajima received a piece of news that was extremely disturbing - the Daimyo of the Land of Fire had issued a secret mission to the Uchiha clan to annihilate the Senju.
"Ling, do you think our clan should take on this mission?"
Ling's brows furrowed tightly, and after a brief silence he spoke, "Whether it's public or private, I hope the clan will not accept this mission."
"Oh?"
"Based on the content of this mission, the daimyo is obviously afraid of the power of the Senju clan and wants to hire us to check and balance them. This is not an important matter, but the problem lies in [annihilation].
There are many ninja clans who are wary of the power of our two clans. Right now, it is the Senju clan that is the first to cause fear. However, if the Senju clan is wiped out, our vitality will be severely damaged. We will naturally become the fat in the eyes of other clans and even become famous. A thorn in the flesh...it's hard not to think that we will be the next target to be [eradicated]. "
Uchiha Tajima nodded with satisfaction, "What if I have to take it?"
Ling raised his hand to touch his chin, and spoke after a while, "Then we can only find ways to lure people into the water as a shield. I remember that before our clan came to the Land of Fire, the Thousand Hands had another old rival, right?
This kind of large-scale mission does not start in one or two days. During this period, we only need to try our best to let the other party take the initiative to take over the mission, and our family will take advantage of the situation to assist from the side, so that we can avoid head-on confrontation as much as possible... "
Listening to Ling's narration, Uchiha Tajima became more and more satisfied, "Yes, Ling, you really did not disappoint me."
"Yes, thank you for your affirmation, but having said that..." Ling tilted his head, "Father, shouldn't you ask Ban to discuss this matter and teach it?"
"This is exactly what I want to tell you," Uchiha Tajima raised his hand and patted the eldest son on the shoulder, "You have been out on your own for a while. Next, you will take Madara around and explain to him what to do. Think about it as an heir.”
"...Have you already talked to Madara?"
Uchiha Tajima took a deep breath and raised his hand to pat Ling's shoulder again, "Although for our clan, as long as we have enough strength, our clan members can follow them willingly, but as the leader of the clan, we really can't...
Sigh - in short, that kid Madara is always more willing to listen to you than me. I leave this matter to you. Make him understand as soon as possible. Also, try your best to make Madara look good to his contemporaries. "
"……Yes, I understand."
After respectfully accepting the task, Ling also felt bald - how should he teach his innocent younger brother the intrigues between the Ninja clan?
"It's enough to send it here." Ling raised his hand and patted the three-tailed carapace and stood up, "There is also the ore matter. You don't trust me yet, but you still try your best to help me. Thank you very much. "

Sanwei glanced at Ling from a bird's eye view, but without answering, he sank into the water with bubbles and swam away.
"Although there have been many twists and turns, the successful achievement of the goal still makes people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts..." Ling let out a long breath, and his smile became helpless, "But am I disliked by him?"
"No, that guy quite likes you," Youlu, who was lying on Ling's head, yawned, "otherwise, he wouldn't have helped you."
