"Hahaha, I feel like I'm being pitied in a strange way... Although I don't mean to use this to gain sympathy, I still want to thank you for your kindness."
Uzumaki Yi laughed helplessly, but soon turned serious again, looking at Ling who tapped the handle of the knife thoughtfully, "Ling, the way I first told you to become stronger is to practice in these holy places. Immortal magic, but the dangers and gains and losses involved still need to be weighed by yourself. After all, in the past few hundred years, countless people have entered the Holy Land to practice, but in the end, only a few have become successful and famous."
"I know, after all, there is no need to pay a price to become stronger." Ling Quzhi, who had always been silent, gently hooked Youlu's chin with a gentle smile on his lips, "You said before that the entrance to the Holy Land is not far away... I wonder which holy land is located here?”
"It's the Shiggy Bone Forest." Uzumaki Yi said, looking at Youlu, "I made the proposal to you after seeing how you got along that day - if there is no protection, no matter how strong you are when you enter the Shiggy Bone Forest, Whether the Slug Immortal is awake or not is a dead end, even if it is indeed the most peaceful one."
"The slugs in the Moist Bone Forest..." Ling tilted his head slightly and lowered his head after a brief silence. "I remember Xiaoyou once said [Slugs adopted little slugs], right? I wonder if you can help me a little bit. What about inquiries?"
Youlu, who had closed his eyes and fell asleep, raised his head and said, "I asked you just now because it sounded familiar, and I don't know if it's the one it adopted hundreds of years ago - generally speaking, slugs can live this long." How long?"
【Slug?A tailed beast that looks like a slug...is it Vulpix? ] Uzumaki Yi raised his hand to touch his chin and answered naturally, "The average lifespan of slugs is two to three years. If they are properly raised, they can live for five or six years. However, practicing magic has the ability to change the body. How long can it live? Uncertain - at least according to the records of our clan, Kabuto the Immortal of the Three Holy Lands has lived for at least 800 years."
"800 years... is a word that sounds extremely long ago." Ling flexed his fingers and combed Youlv's fur, "I thought you would recommend me to look for something safer like a toad. , It’s so merciless.”
"Don't make trouble, those toads are doing a lot of trouble. In order to maintain the status of Mount Myoboku, they will specially recruit nobles' subordinates to Mount Myoboku. Even if you are an Uchiha, if you can't bring benefits to them, they will not give it to you. Good look."
Uzumaki Yi looked disgusted, "Furthermore, your clan has never come into contact with these slippery, disgusting-looking creatures. We are the only clan that has stable access to these messy things. Both of these things are not secrets in the ninja world. If you cause any trouble, we will be blamed on our clan, so even if it’s for my sake, please be more secretive.”
"Then snakes are better than slugs, or you could have told me these things earlier -" Ling sighed, "Now I really don't like soft and sticky things."
"Ah, that lump of black mud?" Uzumaki Yi laughed, his tone slightly excited, "Actually, I think that is quite interesting. Apart from tailed beasts, this is the first time I have observed chakra life at such a close distance. I can’t even think about it!”
"Your family's interests and hobbies are really consistent," Youlu narrowed his eyes, "It's a little bit annoying to the cat."
Uzumaki Yi's smile froze, and he clasped his hands and bowed to Zai Lv, "Haha, thank you very much for not forgetting the faults of villains."
Youlu chuckled, pulled up Ling's sleeves and climbed onto his shoulders, "Also, Si Xiang told me just now that it was nearby. Do you want to drop by and have a look?"
[Four-tails don’t look like...Five-tails. ] Uzumaki Yi's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes moved to Ling who was rubbing his face in profile, [Is this something we can see casually? 】
"Okay, maybe that's the target of our mission this time. It would be a big help if we could resolve it through communication."
[You just agreed? ! 】
Uchiha Kenji on the side also opened his eyes wide, "Are you serious?! I didn't hear that we were going to beat the tailed beasts!"
"Well, after all, tailed beasts are considered large creatures -" Ling chuckled, "You shouldn't be afraid, right?"
"How could it be possible!" Uchiha Kenji clenched his hands into fists with an excited look on his face, "I have long wanted to try to see if the kaleidoscope's special attack on tailed beasts mentioned in the clan scroll is true!"
"Hey, boy, I'm still here," Youlu shook his tail in displeasure, "What do you mean by that?"
Uchiha Kenji crossed his shoulders with his arms, his attitude was unreasonable and strong, "You are the guy that Ling believes that he wants to spend his whole life, how dare I attack you?"
Youlu waggled his tail and looked stunned, "...Meow?"
Uzumaki Yi, who was sighing at the same time, also froze and raised his head blankly, "...Life? It's not the life I thought, right?"
"Eh? Didn't Ling tell you?" Uchiha Kenji looked at him and showed a proud smile, "That's right. After all, you are still an outsider~"
Uzumaki Yi glanced at the other three Uchihas who had the same shocked look, and remained silent for a moment, his voice was rare and weak, "I think this has nothing to do with whether I am an outsider or not...Ling, isn't this a joke?"
"Oh, I want to pick a better time..." Ling tilted his head and rubbed Youlu's soft hair, "Didn't it scare you?"
But there was no intention of denying it at all.
Youlu turned to look at Ling, who was still smiling warmly. After a moment of silence, he flicked his tail, stopped the chakra absorption, and let the monster beads on it fall into the bag on the inside of Ling's chest, and then the whole cat got into it. , the figure gradually faded, leaving only a weak sentence - "You kid, let me slow down first..."
"Oh, I was scared away..." Ling raised his hand to touch his chest and sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in the smile on his lips, "I obviously want to do it step by step."
Uchiha Kenji finally realized what he had done. He stood up stiffly and stepped back step by step behind Uchiha Yunno, shrinking himself up, "...I told you that you didn't say anything about this." You can’t blame me for keeping it secret! I just wanted to try out the power of the kaleidoscope, I didn’t even think about it!”
"If it had been earlier, I would probably be a little angry, but it doesn't matter now..." Ling put down his hand and raised a finger in front of his face, "After all, I have also thought about how far the kaleidoscope's pupil power can limit the tailed beast— —There is no reason to let go of things that Uchiha recognizes easily."
Uzumaki Yi laughed helplessly, but soon turned serious again, looking at Ling who tapped the handle of the knife thoughtfully, "Ling, the way I first told you to become stronger is to practice in these holy places. Immortal magic, but the dangers and gains and losses involved still need to be weighed by yourself.
