Chapter 125 Return to the Team

Uchiha Masaki was so angry at the heartwarming scene in front of him, but he dared not say anything. He only expressed his dissatisfaction by stomping on the branches and grass leaves under his feet, making them crackle.

Hearing the sound, Ling released his senses again, "Is it Yashu?"

"Yeah." Uchiha Masaki came over with a dark face, "You guy...if you're fine, send a message back. Do you know how worried everyone is?"

"Sorry... I just received a message from Hong as well." Ling jumped down from the tree while holding Youlu in his arms and explained the whole story. "Thank you for the trip."

"I say, you guys, can't you bear to see me having some free time?" Uchiha Masaki was completely furious, "You brought me to the Land of Lightning when I was supposed to be on vacation, and you kept it a secret from me, even though the overall goal was to deal with those blind guys, but it's really too much that no one notified me after the crisis was resolved?!

We are companions, right? Right? Why do you always make me do the work for nothing? If you have any dissatisfaction with me, can't you just tell me directly? I will change, why do you always treat me like this? I am also hurt, okay? ! "

Youlv looked at the young man in front of him, who was full of resistance to getting close to Ling, but revealed his weakness in his words, and just found it interesting, "This kid is very interesting."

Uchiha Masaki immediately stopped complaining and turned his gaze to Matata, "What's your new summoning beast?"

Ling nodded in agreement, "Just call her Xiaoyou."

"The fur color and breed are both very rare, but..." Uchiha Masaki moved closer and frowned, "Why do I always feel like something is not right?"

Yulu just tilted his head and acted cute towards Uchiha Masaki.

"Well, forget it. You have your own considerations anyway." Uchiha Masaki retracted his gaze and reached out to snatch Youlv from Ling. "You made a fuss yesterday, didn't you? When I went to investigate, there were still soldiers picking eyeballs stuck to the ceiling... You have a really good touch with this cat."

"I just did what an abuser should do..." Ling remained calm, "I just accepted the commission privately. I will have to submit a report after I return to the tribe."

Uchiha Masaki began to understand why Ling couldn't let go of Yataru, "Commission? What commission?"

Ling took out the half of the small verdict and shook it, "Yes, a commission worth a lot of money."

Uchiha Masaki curled his lips, lowered his head and took a sip of the cat, muttering reluctantly, "You always say that I violate the rules... Damn it, I will also go to the Cat Country to sign a psychic contract when I return this time."

Matata was just like an ordinary kitten. He only stretched out his claws to resist when Uchiha Masaki was about to suck his belly. Then he stepped on his face without any hesitation and put his claws on his head. "How can you think of me as an ordinary harmless ninja cat?"

"Hmm?" Uchiha Masaki raised his eyes, "Isn't it just Nekomata? We ninjas don't mind this——"

"Hmph~" Yulu licked his paw, "You really trust this kid."

Uchiha Masaki silently took Matata from his head, "...You are not one of those super dangerous ninja beasts that can change their form, right?"

"Hmm~"

Ling also laughed quietly, but did not deny it, "This is indeed not Xiaoyou's original appearance. As for her true appearance... you will have a chance to see it in the future."

Uchiha Masaki: ...Tell me such a dangerous thing in advance!

Feeling Uchiha Masaki's stiffness, Youlu broke free from his hand and jumped back onto Ling's shoulder, "Huh~ You're really a kid who can't help being teased."

Uchiha Masaki stared at Yataru lying on top of Ling with his eyes wide open - [Who else but you would accept having a super dangerous ninja beast close to their vitals! And it's not right that you can accept it! What strange things have you done to yourself in just a few days! ]

The resistance in Uchiha Masaki was almost overflowing, and his expression changed in a very rich way, which was really exciting to watch.

Ling reached out and patted Uchiha Masaki's shoulder, "There's no need to be wary of your friends...Okay, let's go back."

Uchiha Masaki consciously walked to the front, "There is really no need to be wary of your partners... but you can't treat every strange creature as a partner, right? I'm telling you, I'm very timid, if you talk to me like this, I might be scared to death one day..."

"Hmm? Then why did you see me now since you had a nightmare about me before..."

“Shut up! I was just using a metaphor, a metaphor! Seriously – I am your peer, so I must have been cursed by God because I liked the Senju in my previous life, right?!”

"Liking Senju won't be enough to cause me to be punished by God..."

"That's enough, shut up and let me complain for a while! Do you know how aggrieved I am right now?! If you don't comfort me, can't you allow me to comfort myself?!"

Youlv patted Ling's forehead and said, "What did you do to this kid? Look at how scared and respectful he is."

Ling shrugged slightly to indicate that he didn't understand either, and silently followed Uchiha Masaki's pace.

As time was not urgent, the two of them took three days of stopping and starting before returning to the clan's team. After seeing that Ling was safe and sound, Uchiha Masaaki, who had already received the news from the clan, was completely relieved and reorganized the clan members to speed up the return journey.

When the team reached the border between the Kingdom of the Moon and the Kingdom of Soup, it officially split into two teams, one was the supply team going to the Kingdom of Iron, and the other was the return team leading the new tribesmen back to the Kingdom of Fire.

Uchiha Masaru led the return team back to the clan, while the leadership of the supply team was handed over to Uchiha Keiji who led the team to provide support.

As for Madara, he was forced by Uchiha Masayuki to be in the returning team because of his status as the heir and to appease people. When he left, he was reluctant to say goodbye to Ling and Youlu - judging from his appearance, he had probably forgotten that he didn't need a summoning beast.

After all, it's just an innocent and cute cat, right?
