Chapter 402 Madara:...Huh?
In the next few days, Uchiha Hikaru has been repeating the life of being trained, treated, and following his master to meet people. Moreover, it is a new home for the time being, and the relationship between the members has also eased - after excluding Uchiha Tajima After that, the patriarch was still wary of her, and there was no case where his eldest son treated her particularly well just because he accepted her.
But this actually made Uchiha Hikari relax his nerves. For a while, he really stopped thinking randomly and began to practice with Ling seriously. However, he also got to know his master little by little through increased contact.
The most intuitive thing is training. As Madara said, although Ling loves and takes care of them, he never mind letting them suffer at his hands. Uchiha Hikaru even saw Ling listening to Madara after knocking people down more than once. Or Izuna's voice of pain quickly and vaguely raised the corner of her mouth and then calmed down again.
The second is the overly keen perception, which is obviously invisible and does not use much chakra perception, but it still knows how the people around him react.
Then there is the "good temper" that Uchiha Masaki said. He always has a gentle smile on his face, a tall and straight posture as usual, never raises his voice too much, and will not easily reveal any emotion. He will give in to the other side's harsh words. I won't give in even one centimeter...
The more he understood, the more deeply Uchiha Hikaru realized what Madara meant by his words: "An almost perfect person, the role model I aspire to - but there is something wrong with his brain."
Oh, you ask her why she keeps praising her master but still says there is something wrong with her brain?
Do you see any serious Uchiha who would stalk his younger brother - well, this is indeed common - but which one would bring his own apprentice with him when stalking his younger brother!
The most important thing is that after you found out that your brother was talking and laughing with the opponent's child, you just pretended to be nonchalant and helped clear the traces of both parties. What's the point of seriously threatening the apprentice who was forced to follow him not to inform the person involved!
Uchiha Hikaru crossed her arms angrily - she was not interested in Madara's private life! Why did you have to take her there and then threaten her after actually discovering the adultery (?)!
It makes me angry just thinking about it! What kind of good people are like this!
Oh, they are ninjas, that's okay...that's weird! She feels so wronged!
After this incident, Uchiha Hikaru had completely given up understanding his master's behavior, but he was no longer as timid as he was at the beginning, for fear that he would be sent back to the dungeon after doing something that was not in line with Ling's wishes. , but he told Ling his demands very straightforwardly - such as the future direction of development, where he would go and what kind of life he would start if he could really break away from the clan in the future.
Then Ling will discuss with her very seriously what is needed to achieve these goals, and change the training content according to her will. The only requirement is that no matter what happens in the future, she cannot be an enemy of the clan, and must unconditionally support her in the clan's crisis. She takes action once at the right moment to give the clan some breathing room, and then the clan no longer needs her to take action whether it lives or dies.
Uchiha Hikaru agreed. The clan has protected her for more than ten years. This is why she only wanted to escape instead of making a fuss after being caught by the clan for the first time. Now Ling saves her from suffering, and After sparing no effort to cultivate her, she should repay Ling - but the patriarch heard the news somewhere, and then he disliked her even more.
But it didn't matter. After being betrayed by her friends, she never thought about living in harmony with everyone in the clan. As long as she didn't establish new bonds, she would be more relaxed when she left in the future.
but……
Uchiha Hikaru looked at Madara who was sparring with Ling on the training ground, and couldn't help but sigh, [It's true that his strength is not great, but he has been followed so many times in a row, didn't he notice at all? But there’s nothing we can do about it, after all, we have such a big brother...]
Madara in the field also made a mistake in his movements because of Uchiha Hikari's too obvious pity look, and was hit by Ling Yi on the back of the head with a stick, losing his balance and falling to the ground.
"What's wrong? You suddenly got distracted."
"No, it's nothing..." Madara got up from the ground. Although his face was expressionless, his eyes looking at Uchiha Hikaru were somewhat resentful, "Something suddenly occurred to me."
Uchiha Hikari silently looked away and muttered an apology in his heart, but after a moment he turned back and said, "Hey, master, when can I go on a mission?"
Ling turned around slightly, "Well...you want to do a mission? Tell me why?"
"I don't like the atmosphere in the clan very much, and I want to check out my future residence." Uchiha said without looking at Izuna's dissatisfied expression, "Can I leave now?"
"Haha... It seems that it's very difficult to keep you by my side." Ling chuckled carelessly, "But you're right, I've been leisurely for a long time, and you can't see your true self despite practicing with me. Strength…do you have a place you want to go?”
Uchiha Hikaru shook her head, she just didn't want to stay here anymore.
"Okay, I will make arrangements. You three go back first. I want to talk to the clan."
Looking at Ling Yuan's back, Madara lowered his gaze to Uchiha Hikaru, "Why did you look at me like that just now?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Hikaru, who was about to stand up and leave, sighed, raised his hand and patted Madara's shoulder, the pity in his eyes almost overflowing, "All I can say is, please work harder."
Madara frowned, obviously not understanding what Uchiha Hikaru was going to do, but he also knew that the other party didn't intend to say it, so he changed the topic, "Why did you suddenly mention leaving? With my brother suppressing me, there should be no one in the clan." Just spread your gossip."
"No, it's just that after what I experienced, I have a knot in my heart." Uchiha Hikari retracted his hand, patted the dust on his body, and then showed a slightly sly smile, "And, you have to know, after my master and I left, , which is actually the best for you.”
Madara:...Huh?
