Chapter 151: Conversation by the Campfire

Late summer should be the home ground for the chirping cicadas, but the continuous heavy rains have completely dampened their enthusiasm, so they have to give the field to the frogs, while they hide away and wait for a sunny day so that they can have another unbridled carnival.

Under the rain that made it difficult to see what was a few meters away, there was a cave with a faint light of fire. Inside the cave, four young men in dark combat uniforms were sitting on the ground around a campfire, with their clan emblems embroidered in the shape of round fans behind them.

However, the atmosphere felt a bit strange. The young man in the lead had his eyes covered with a dark cloth and was carefully wiping the long sword across his legs with a soft cloth. When the dirt on the long sword was completely wiped off and it shone with a cold light again, the young man tilted his head slightly and faced the scarred young man beside him, "Zhao Yan, how are your eyes?"

The young man whose name he called opened his eyes and frowned slightly. "It's okay. I used it very carefully. It's just a little bit of double vision. After the war is over, I will concentrate on maintenance and it will recover in ten days."

"Well, that's good. What about the other injuries? I remember that the last Thousand Hands chose to self-destruct."

"It's okay, I blocked it with Susanoo." The scarred young man raised his hand to pinch his forehead and closed his eyes again. "Such a small detonating talisman can't destroy Susanoo... It's just that my hearing hasn't recovered yet."

This team of four was none other than Ling and his group, who had attacked and killed three Thousand Hands men in the canyon a few days ago.

In fact, after successfully killing Senju Qin that day, the group of four could have announced their withdrawal. However, just as they understood the value of a ninja who could perform fixed-point spiritual communication, Senju Fengran and Senju Qingfeng also knew clearly how valuable an Uchiha with a Mangekyō would be.

After the death of Senju Qin, these two people seemed to be free. Senju Fengran was even willing to sacrifice his life to consume Uchiha Akihiko's eye power. He frequently looked for opportunities to attack Uchiha Mori and Uchiha Yunye to force Uchiha Akihiko to use his eye power to protect the two.

If Qianshou Qingfeng had not been entangled by Ling and unable to find an opportunity, Uchiha Akihiko would have faced more than just a suicide bomber in the end.

Not to mention that they were later caught by the Thousand Hands team who came to investigate the unusual movements in the canyon. They fled for three days almost without sleep before returning to their own camp and getting some time to catch their breath.

After Ling talked to Uchiha Akihiko for a few more words, he raised his hand to put the cane sword back into the sheath and turned to the other side. "Yunye did a good job in this operation. Is there anything wrong with your body?"

Uchiha Yunye was still wearing a mask that covered most of his face, but because of the moisture that soaked his whole body, he no longer wore the hood that could completely cover his eyebrows and eyes. At this moment, under the reflection of the firelight, some hideous scars could be seen crawling out of the mask, almost destroying the young man's entire face.

At this moment, the young man was putting some damp branches into the fire one by one. His dark eyes were fixed on the sharp tongues of fire that rolled up the branches and licked them carefully, making a squeaking sound and then spitting out a puff of white smoke. He repeated this action over and over again, immersed in his own rhythm.

So when Ling called his name, Uchiha Yunye was visibly stunned. After a long while, he blinked and answered Ling's words in a serious manner, "It's my duty... Apart from the excessive consumption of chakra, there is no damage."

Ling nodded slightly, "That's good. I'll need your help with the treatment in the next mission."

"Yes, I will try my best."

"Then let's talk about Mori next," Ling finally turned to Uchiha Mori, who was fidgeting opposite him, without a smile on his face, "Why didn't you obey orders at that time?"

Uchiha Mori froze, curled his fingers unconsciously, and spoke stutteringly, "The distance was very close at that time. I, I thought I could kill the person and then go to support you... I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize to us," Ling shook his head slightly, "Your life is your own. Whatever you do with it is none of our business... But this kind of personality is not suitable for the battlefield. You should return to your tribe to recuperate and then lead the younger generations.

Akihiko, contact the other teams, repatriate the wounded and reorganize the team. Although we beheaded the enemy and destroyed his brain before he passed on the information that you have the Mangekyō Sharingan, we still destroyed a major supply team, and the subsequent tasks will only be more difficult. "

Uchiha Akihiko nodded, but before he could respond, Uchiha Mori's slightly anxious voice sounded -

"Brother Ling, I promise I will obey orders from now on! Give me one more chance! I swear I will never--"

"I'm not asking for your opinion." Ling sat upright, facing the direction of Uchiha Mori. Even Yuta squatting on his head couldn't ease the cold aura around him. "You can not be responsible for your own life, but Akihiko is different. As the captain, he is responsible for everyone in this team.

I can even say frankly that if it wasn't for saving you and letting Akihiko expose his Mangekyō Sharingan in advance, this battle would have been much easier to resolve, and we wouldn't have been chased by the Senju and fled in disgrace."

Uchiha Mori opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded dejectedly, "Yes... I understand."

"Well, don't be too discouraged," Uchiha Akihiko opened his eyes, "Your combat reaction is still sufficient. Even if we send you back this time, as long as you calm down your temper, the elders will still give you permission - there is no such thing as too many people who can carry out the mission."

"Well, I'm sorry, Akihiko-kun," Uchiha Mori still looked dejected, but he honestly admitted his mistake, "I was too eager for quick success and caused you to lose so much pupil power..."

"It's good that he's okay. I'll find a chance to rest more and my eye power will slowly recover." Uchiha Akihiko lowered his eyes, "After all, the eye technique was awakened to save people. If it can be put to good use, it will feel happy."
