Chapter 121 Uchiha Hong: Save Me, Save Me

After hearing a lot of stories from Youlu, the restless chakra in Ling's body finally calmed down. Even when Youlu deliberately released chakra to scare him again, it only fluctuated slightly before returning to stability.

While feeling incredible, the tip of his tail curled up again.

After making sure he was calm, Ling let his thoughts leave the Monster Pearl, feeling the world darken again. He tightened his grip on the hilt of the knife, and let out a long sigh after a while, "I still need to practice... Youlu, I'm ready, shall we sign the spiritual contract?"

But after he finished speaking, Ling did not get any response. After a brief hesitation, Ling carefully released his perception, but the feedback was only blank.

Just as Ling was stunned, the Monster Pearl in his hand [swelled] up, and the moment his fingers touched the soft fur, he held it up with both hands, "... another trip?"

"What's wrong? You look surprised?"

"No... I just didn't expect you could become smaller."

"The tailed beasts have no flesh and blood, they are pure chakra creatures, and the size of their bodies is determined by the amount of chakra in our bodies." Yulu used his tail to roll up the Wuling Pearl, quickly climbed onto Ling's shoulder and squatted down, "As long as we want to change, we can change our forms at will - but that would be very troublesome."

"Eh... so your real body is now in the Monster Pearl?"

"That's true," Youlv nodded, "After all, the chakra gap between the two people who signed the psychic contract can't be too big, and I don't plan to help you fight, so you only need to sign a contract with a small part of my chakra. Anyway, it's quite convenient for me to convert it."

"How thoughtful," Ling bent his fingers and rubbed Youlv's chin, "Do you want me to help you weave the Wraith Pearl and put it on your body?"

Youlu raised his chin rather proudly and snorted, "Don't worry about that, let's sign the contract first."

"it is good."

"But there is one thing I have to tell you in advance." Youlv's voice became more serious, "After communicating with the spirit world, you are not allowed to casually reveal my name to others - even to your family members."

"Hmm? Okay, I'll remember that." Ling nodded slightly, "Can I call you Xiaoyou from now on?"

"Hmph~ It's up to you - make the seals. Do you remember the order?"

Ling recalled for a moment and began to make hand seals, but his mind couldn't help but be distracted. [It seems that names have special meanings to tailed beasts... Is telling the name a sign of approval? Or is there something else to pay attention to...]

Everything was going smoothly for Ling, but on the other hand, Uchiha Masaki's sudden departure made Madara feel a little uncomfortable.

Madara watched Uchiha Masaki pack his things, frowning slightly, "Is something urgent going on?"

"Hey, Madara-chan, didn't Ling tell us not to ask about other people's missions casually?" Uchiha Masaki smiled and shook his finger, "It's very rude, isn't it?"

Madara pouted, "I'm not interested in your mission, I just saw that you were too anxious to leave, so I asked... After all, after you left, there will be no one I'm particularly familiar with in this team."

"Oh? So..." Uchiha Masaki touched his chin and moved closer to Madara, "Are you reluctant to leave me? I didn't expect that this little brat who looks so cold and aloof, but can make his peers cry, has such a lovable side?"

Veins suddenly appeared on Ban's forehead. After his face twitched twice, he snorted and turned away. "It's not that I can't bear to leave you. I'm just afraid that you will die out there alone."

"Don't worry, it's not easy for a ninja as old as me to survive a fight."

Madara just snorted and then quickened his pace to leave.

Uchiha Masaki looked at Madara's departing back, the smile on his lips gradually faded, and finally he left the room with a cold expression - although he is Ling's younger brother, this is completely different from Ling's sharpness.

……

Uchiha Hiro looked at Yukimaru who was asking for double the reward in front of him, and finally realized that he had forgotten something - he forgot to call back Yukimaru to inform Uchiha Masaki!

"You're not going to default on your debt, are you?" Xuewan looked at Uchiha Hong suspiciously, "I took the trouble to go to the Land of Lightning just for you in just half a day!"

"No, I will send the reward later." Uchiha Hong's mouth twitched slightly, "It's just..."

Xuemaru looked up at him, "That's it...?"

"Can you make another trip?" Uchiha Hong swallowed his saliva, "Ling just sent a message back saying that everything is fine, so..."

Before Uchiha Hiro could finish his words, Yukimaru jumped up and swung his tail at his face, "Are you deliberately walking the cat?! Go to hell, meow!"

Looking at the cloud of white smoke exploding in front of him, Uchiha Hong silently rubbed his slapped face and tried to summon spirits again, but was rejected as expected.

[It seems like I need to prepare more dried shrimps next time... Is there any way to remedy this situation? With Masaaki's mobility, he should be on his way now, right? ]

Uchiha Hong looked at the research materials that were just sorted out on the table, and touched his nose with a rare guilty look, [I'm not deliberately looking for trouble this time... How about going to find Ling's crow? If Ling helps, it should be able to make up for it a little bit...]

However, before Uchiha Hong could figure out what was going on, the door of his room was roughly pushed open. If he hadn't been quick to hold down the documents, he would have had to sort them out again in a while. Thinking of this, he looked up at the door angrily, but was met with the equally angry gaze of his grandfather.

"Uchiha Hiro!" Uchiha Koji's voice was filled with anger, and his usually meticulously trimmed beard was now in a state of explosion, "You are really getting more and more daring!

Last time you stole the mission from your father and brother, but this time you actually dared to use my seal to forge the mission permit?! You are a jerk who will not be punished for three days, right?! "

Uchiha Hong's body was stiff, but he still tried to struggle, "I didn't! Grandpa, you need to provide evidence when you speak! You are slandering me!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Get out here! I want to see how much you've improved these days. Don't think I can't deal with you just because I have a kaleidoscope! Get out here!"

"Dad, I'm his father, we're of different generations..."

"You too, shut up! All you do is help your son deceive his superiors and subordinates. Is that what I taught you?!"

Uchiha Hiro silently used a paperweight to hold down his research materials - forget about Uchiha Masaki, he is the one who can't protect himself now.
