Chapter 142 Previous Mission

"Please, lend me some more chakra--" Under the warm sunshine, the blindfolded boy put his hands together and bowed to the kitten in front of him again, "I'm just a little bit away from perfecting that lightning escape--"

However, the palm-sized kitten has soft and beautiful blue fur, and the black patterns on it seem to be constantly flowing in the sun, adding a bit of mystery. At this time, when it heard the young man's words, its heterochromatic eyes stared at him directly, "No, you are simply playing with your life when you practice, I will not give you chakra today."

“Hey - don’t be so heartless,” the young man lowered his eyebrows and pretended to be pitiful and vulnerable, “Xiaoyou, you can obviously feel it, I’m really fine…”

This time, the little cat couldn't help but slap the stone under it with its claws, and its soft voice sounded a little irritable, "I can feel a little dried fish!

You only know how to practice, and you just eat casually. In the past five days, you have rested for less than twelve hours in total - and half of that was due to fainting - and even a second before you fainted, you were still able to tell me your future practice plans with a playful smile. Are you really not afraid of sudden death? !

Humans have short lives. I finally met a funny kid like you. Can you please cherish yourself a little? Cats can become emotionally unstable when they are too bored! Think carefully about who will be in danger if I become emotionally unstable! "

"Xiao You, Youlu... Don't be like this, I will be careful this time, just lend me a little more--"

"If I say no, it means no. Go and rest now—right now, immediately!"

This man and cat were Ling Heyoulu who came to the back mountain to train and adapt to the chakra of the tailed beasts for the sake of war.

Due to the recovery properties of the tailed beast's chakra, Ling began to enthusiastically use this convenience to develop ninjutsu after being able to endure the malice in it. He even borrowed Yuta's chakra several times in the monster space opened up by Yuta to turn it into paper to record the route of the ninjutsu.

Because when Ling was studying ninjutsu, he always looked energetic, and Youlu could even feel the sincere love spreading from his body.

And because Youlu could always maintain his energy for many days before resting, he didn't pay much attention to Ling's physical condition. Instead, he answered every question raised by Ling seriously after thinking about it, helping him to make further progress in his practice.

These minor oversights also led to Youlu being frightened when he saw Ling confirm the next development direction of ninjutsu in the Wuliang space yesterday, and left the space full of energy saying that he would demonstrate it to it. As a result, the next second he stood up and fell down as if exhausted. He was relieved until he confirmed that Ling was just sleeping.

However, it finally realized the difference between humans and the tailed beasts, and after Ling woke up, it refused to lend him chakra for training no matter what.

Ling felt Youlu's determination and sighed slightly, knowing that for the time being, it was impossible for him to use the chakra of the tailed beast to practice at high speed.

[I think I’ve overdone it a bit… But this feeling of being able to clearly feel myself getting stronger is really addictive…]

Ling picked up Youlu and softly stroked the cat's fur. He was still thinking about training. [I wanted to complete this enhanced ninjutsu before the war started. I'm only a little bit away from it. If the chakra flow is a little bit slower...]

Although it felt comfortable to have his fur stroked, Youlu soon noticed that Ling was absent-minded - the boy even spoke out loud!

Youli retracted his claws and couldn't help licking his teeth. He began to seriously consider whether he should just knock the person out and carry him back.

Just when it decided to take the person back by force, a cloud of white smoke suddenly exploded in the air. Ling stopped muttering, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and raised his head to the sky, "Yata? Is there anything wrong at home?"

"Lord Tajima is planning to start assigning the initial missions and battle zones, and asked me to notify the master to go to the meeting hall." Yatagarasu landed on Ling's shoulder and nodded to Youlu, "But he also said that if your training is not yet complete, you don't have to participate in the initial missions, and can go directly to the battlefield after both sides have figured out the situation."

"I haven't been to the battlefield for almost two years. I still need to adapt." Ling stood up and carefully lifted Youlu to the top of his head. After stretching for a while, he picked up the cane and sword and walked down. "Can you tell what kind of previous mission father is going to issue?"

"Master, you have to understand that I am just a crow." Yata first defended himself, then paused and spoke again, "I have seen the map, and there are many symbols drawn on the complex terrain. Although I haven't completely remembered the meaning of those symbols, I think the layout under that kind of terrain is nothing more than sneak attacks and traps."

"Complex terrain?" Ling frowned slightly, "It's an advantage for the Thousand Hands and their kind..."

Yata tilted his head and glanced at the silk ribbon Ling used to cover his scar. "Yes, it is indeed a bit disadvantageous for you..."

"Let's see what the terrain is like. If it's not an overly humid and hot forest, then there's still room for me to maneuver. It also depends on the fighting power of the Thousand Hands... Anyway, thank you. I'll go back and pack up and go to the meeting hall."

Yata tilted his head to the other side again, and after thinking fruitlessly, he flapped his wings and flew away, "Then I will go back and report the news first, huh?"

"Well, please."

Looking at Yatagarasu who disappeared in a cloud of white smoke, Yutaka retracted his gaze and asked, "Are you really not going to consider it again?"

"What to consider?"

Youlu lowered his head. "Although I don't know your past, based on my current understanding, as long as you appear on the battlefield, you will undoubtedly become one of the enemy's targets."

"Well... there's nothing to think about." Ling laughed softly, "Didn't I say it before? There is nothing in this world that can please me more than fighting with all my strength. No matter what they do, I will take it on."
