Chapter 10 Uchiha Hiro wants to ask for advice

"That's it anyway, meow."

"Really? Thank you for telling me so late at night." Ling laughed softly, curled his fingers and gently hooked the fur ball's chin, "Your name is... Xuewan, right? You are Hong's summoning beast."

"It's meow, meow..." Xuewan obviously enjoyed Ling's touch. He twisted his body to expose his belly, then hugged his hand with his front paws. "I haven't seen you in the Cat Country, otherwise I would definitely make a contract with you, meow~"

"Haha...it's very hard to make a contract with me. Do you want something to eat?"

"Meow, I'll take care of Hong during the day, meow." Xuewan raised his head and glanced at the scar on Ling's face, making a purring sound in his throat, "Then meow will go to rest. If you have anything, ask Hong tomorrow, meow."

"it is good."

As the words fell, Xuewan disappeared into a puff of white smoke. Ling gently rubbed his fingers that had just touched the soft fur and sighed helplessly, "If I had known this day would come, I would have gone to the Cat Country earlier to sign the summoning beast contract... I hope I can gain something from Yugu tomorrow."

But before Ling could go to Yougu to see if he could find a crow to use as a summoning beast, Uchiha Akihiko and others who had completed the mission came to the door together.

"It seems that the operation last night went smoothly." Ling waved to Madara who had escorted him all the way out, "Madara, go do the training too. Akihiko and the others will take me to Yugu next."

Madara looked up at the three people with bandages on their bodies and couldn't help showing a doubtful expression, but in the end he nodded very reluctantly, "Okay, brother, be careful on your journey."

"As expected, Little Banban will only become obedient and soft in front of you, Ling~" Uchiha Masaki ignored the murderous gaze from Madara and said, "You don't know how scared my brother, who is the same age as Little Banban, was by Little Banban——"

"Ban is a reasonable and good boy. If he fights with someone, it's probably because the other party provoked him." Ling laughed softly, "Didn't Yashu also cause trouble for me because of something?"

Uchiha Masaki froze in his tracks, clenched his fists to cover up his cough, and then spoke, "I was pursuing Chiho at that time. I was young and frivolous, young and frivolous."

"What's there to hide? Isn't it because Chiho likes Ling and you like Chiho that you challenged her recklessly, and then got beaten so hard that you couldn't get out of bed for three days?" Uchiha Hiro sneered, "I think you'll die at the hands of a woman sooner or later."

Uchiha Masaki: "...Uchiha Hiro! I will fight you!"

Listening to the fighting sounds beside him, Ling smiled slightly, "They are still the same as always, fighting at the slightest provocation. Didn't anything happen during the mission?"

"Well, I was just about to tell you..." Uchiha Akihiko didn't look at the two people who would only make him upset, "The information we got this time is indeed a plan of the Senju..."

It turned out that last night, after Yukimaru left to pass on the message, Uchiha Akihiko and others found another stronghold and a fierce battle broke out with them. As a result, each member of the team suffered three points of injury.

Because several people passed the message in time, the large army avoided the detonating talisman array buried underground, but they were still affected by the aftermath of the explosion and lost some members of the tribe. In addition, the people sent by Qianshou to stay were determined to die, and the stronghold was completely cleared out by the explosion.

It can be said that in this confrontation between the two clans, the Uchiha only had a slight advantage. Compared with the usual on the frontal battlefield, they killed more Thousand-Handed ninjas, but in other aspects they did not gain any advantage at all.

"Well, the Senju clan has been able to fight against the Uchiha clan for decades without being defeated, so they must have some skills," Ling smiled. "It seems that the clan should train more sensory ninjas. Have you mentioned this to the elders?"

"Well, I mentioned it when I came back this morning. But don't hold your hopes too high. Being a perception ninja is harder than being a medical ninja. The number of people in our generation who are qualified to be perception ninjas can be counted on one hand, even if you and Hong are included."

Uchiha Akihiko sighed, "At this time, I have to admire the Senju clan. At least two out of ten ninjas are sensory, and 80% of them know medical ninjutsu. They are really mass-produced in this area."

"After all, they are the Thousand Hands of the Forest - they are all physical monsters," Uchiha Masaki covered his swollen face and limped over, "We Uchiha are better at illusions and ninjutsu."

Uchiha Hiroya covered his lower back in a weird posture, grinning, "I agree - after the encounter with the Senju in the forest, it was not a battle at all, it was torture."

Ling smiled, "Really? I think it's okay."

"We are not freaks like you..." Uchiha Akihiko crossed his arms, "Are you really going to give me the credit? Because the message was delivered in time, I deserve a lot of credit this time."

"Well, after all, you are the executor, and there is nothing I can do to claim credit now..." Uchiha Ling smiled and shook his head, "So what are you three doing looking for me so early in the morning? Don't tell me you are here to spar with me."

"No, I just came to tell you the details of the mission. I'm not interested in being tortured twice in such a short time." Uchiha Akihiko showed a hint of disgust, "I have a severe headache now, I just want to rest."

"You deserve it. I told you not to use your pupil power. You can't use your pupil power. The injury that could have healed in one night now takes at least seven days." Uchiha Hong frowned and sighed, his voice lowered. "My business is not urgent. I'll talk to them after they finish talking. I'll take you to Yugu's place."

Ling nodded slightly, "Then what does Yashu want me to do?"

"Hmm? I just came to see how you've recovered," Uchiha Masaki hooked his arm around Uchiha Akihiko's shoulders, "When do you plan to return?"

"Well... I guess I have to wait a little longer - at least I have to make sure I don't get lost, right?" Ling kept smiling. "Although I can use chakra to inspect the surroundings, it won't be enough for response and fighting, and it will only increase the danger."

"That's true..." Uchiha Masaki stroked his chin, "But you'd better hurry up, or I will not be polite to you for the title of the best of your generation."

"I can't pretend I didn't hear you." Uchiha Akihiko poked Uchiha Masaki back, "Even if Ling is not the best of the same generation, it definitely won't be you. Let's go. Really, this is such a headache."

Uchiha Masaaki did not delay any longer. He held his stomach, waved his hand, and left.

"Now Hong can speak, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Uchiha Hiro tutted his words, turned his head away, and said weakly, "It's not a big deal, it's just... it's just that can you..."

"Ok?"

"Can you teach me how to..."

Uchiha Ling showed a helpless smile, "Hong, I am different now than before. I can't read lips, and your voice is too soft... Can you tell me loudly what you want me to teach you this time?"

Uchiha Hong's face flushed immediately and he wanted to turn around and leave, but when his eyes met the helpless smile on Ling's lips, he lost his temper again. After stuttering for a long time, his voice was finally heard by Ling, "It's just... can you teach me how to pet a cat?"
