Chapter 147 The mission is in progress

The sky above was filled with a gray-blue glow, illuminating the dense forest in a slightly sadder way, making the already eerie scene even more unapproachable.

Under the cover of the lush branches and leaves, the Uchiha tribe members wearing dark, wide-collared uniforms also stared intently at the mountain road that cut through the dense forest.

The leading boy had a hideous scar on his face that spread to his chin. His dark eyes were fixed on the muddy road that had just rained. He tilted his head and asked in a very light voice, "What's the situation?"

The young man he was staring at had his face covered with the same dark silk ribbon. Hearing this, he withdrew his hand that had been pressing against the tree trunk and uttered a clear breath, "It seems that they did not choose this road. Do you want me to let the spirit beast go and take a look?"

The leading young man frowned and sighed, "No need, that kind of chakra fluctuation is too easy to be exposed. Let's wait a moment, and if we still can't wait, we should change the route."

The team fell silent again until a moment later, when the leading young man announced the retreat, and then they all swiftly followed him and left.

When the team arrived at the repaired cave, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

"Ah - so annoying!" The young man who spoke had short black hair and a pair of bright peach blossom eyes. He looked very lovable, but his slightly irritable tone ruined everything. "It's been two consecutive misses! When did those gorillas grow brains!"

The blindfolded boy laughed softly when he heard this. "We have attacked three Senju teams in this area in the past few days. It is reasonable for them to be on guard. Mori should also be more patient... What is Akihiko going to do next?"

This group of people were the Lings who had set out for the battlefield a few days ago and started to attack the Senju team. At this time, upon hearing Ling's words, Uchiha Akihiko, who was in charge of the team, said, "Well, I plan to change to another area. After all, if we really meet an adult ninja team of the Senju clan, it will be a bit difficult to fight."

"Hey... I'm just starting to get the hang of it..." Ling looked a little depressed, "It looks like I'll have to wait until the final attack before I can let go completely."

"Do you think everyone is the same as you?" Uchiha Akihiko's eyes were slightly tired, but his voice sounded very relaxed. "By the way, how did you do it? I saw you get stabbed by that fellow Thousand Hands before, but you recovered so quickly..."

"That's right, Brother Ling," Uchiha Mori sat up, "When Yunye treated you earlier, your wound had already stopped bleeding! Isn't that incredible?!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Yunye, who always had a low sense of presence, nodded and slightly pulled up his hood. The voice coming out through the mask was a little muffled, "Although it was very clever to avoid the vital parts, that level of injury is not a light injury for us - and it is also difficult to treat."

"It's difficult to heal. It seems that it's because I went too far when I sparred with Akihiko last time, so my body was strengthened by the lightning chakra. Hong helped me check it. As for the faster healing speed of the injury..." Ling slightly opened his collar to reveal the little cat inside, "This is thanks to Xiaomata who lent me the chakra."

Uchiha Yunye frowned slightly, "A healing ninja cat?"

Youlu grabbed Ling's collar and glanced at Uchiha Yunye, who looked a little gloomy. "I'm not that kind of harmless ninja beast."

"So you have the same chakra as Uzumaki that can heal others?" Uchiha Mori came closer with sparkling eyes, raised his hand and pointed at himself, "I want to try it too, let me try it too!"

"I don't mind," Youlv snorted and laughed, "but if you really do that, you will probably lose your combat effectiveness immediately, right?"

"Eh? Why?"

"Okay, Xiaoyou, stop teasing him." Ling tilted his head and rubbed Youyou's soft fur. "If Sen is still curious after this war, I can let you try it then."

Uchiha Akihiko's mouth twitched slightly, "How dare you treat this horrible creature as a summoning beast..."

"Haha, Koyata is a reliable partner you can trust. There's nothing you can't be afraid of." Ling laughed softly, "It's Akihiko and Hiroshi who are too cautious. In fact, you just need to treat Koyata as an ordinary kitten who is quite knowledgeable."

Uchiha Akihiko just shook his head when he heard this. He was an insider who had heard Yata and Mitsuko describe Matatabi's true identity, which meant that he could never treat Matatabi as an ordinary kitten as Ling said.

But precisely because of this, he was extremely impressed by Ling, who could make this terrifying creature either crouch on the vital part of his head and neck, or be well protected on his chest all day long - he wouldn't dare to do that anyway.

"Okay, let's stop chatting here. Where are we going next?"

Hearing Ling's words, Uchiha Akihiko also calmed down and took out the map, "Let me see..."

While Uchiha Akihiko was studying the next course of action, Ling also summoned the Yata no Kakuza and asked it to help explore the surroundings.

Compared to Uchiha Kumono who was silently checking supplies, Uchiha Mori was quite active after leaving the mission. He squeezed next to Uchiha Akihiko and stretched his neck to look at the map with him. "We have run all over this forest in the past few days. We should change the place for the next raid, right?"

"Indeed," Uchiha Akihiko pointed at the canyon symbol on the map, "This is also an important supply point for both sides. Let's go there and see if there is a chance to kill a group of them - but this time we have to be on guard against counter-camping. Who knows, we might even run into the enemy's ambush team."

"Hey, isn't that just right?" Uchiha Mori raised his hand and rubbed his nose, grinning, "It's always more fun to fight an ambush team than a logistics team."
