Chapter 161 Empty Heart

The morning sun rose slowly, but the middle-aged Uchiha soldiers all knelt down at the place where the earth thorns stood, silently seeing the girl off.

The silent memorial service finally came to an end until an adult Uchiha ninja who received the news and rushed here to support the search discovered them.

Looking at the embarrassed juniors in front of him, Uchiha Qing sighed and clapped his hands vigorously to attract everyone's attention, "Alright, alright, isn't this a good result? Stop crying."

Hearing this, Uchiha Masaki, who looked a little hunched, raised his head stiffly, and his dark, empty eyes fixed on Uchiha Haru, "What are you... talking about?"

"Isn't it? Under the pursuit of the main force of the Senju, only one person died. You have worked very hard." Uchiha Qing looked around the battlefield and sounded a little surprised. "Hey - that's the trace of self-destruction, right? You guys are very capable! The dead companions should be able to rest in peace now."

"shut up……"

Uchiha Qing lowered his head, and the moment he saw the intricate pattern, the smile on his face spread again, "Hey - you have opened your eyes, I'm really envious, in this case, the death of this girl is even more valuable -"

"Shut up!" The purple-red Susanoo rose from the ground in an instant, and the thick skeletal arm swept straight towards Uchiha Qing. The dried blood and tears on Uchiha Masaki's face flowed again, "What do you know, bastard!"

But after the powerful purple-red bone fist broke many earth spikes, it only left a shadow. Uchiha Haru's figure appeared inside Susanoo in an instant. He clenched his left fist and hit Uchiha Masaki's soft abdomen hard, forcing him to bend his body. At the same time, he raised his right hand and hit him on the back of the neck with his forearm, knocking him unconscious.

"As expected, the sudden increase in pupil power will make people lose their judgment," Uchiha Qing caught Uchiha Masaki, shook his head and carefully put him on the ground, "Although the power of the Mangekyo is enviable, it is better not to let me open my eyes on the battlefield..."

"Is there a gathering point for the tribe nearby?"

Uchiha Qing turned his head to look at Ling, who looked calm, and raised his hand to point in the direction he came from, "Go due north, it's only about five or six kilometers away - but it won't be too safe, you can rest there for a while and then return to the tribe, heal your wounds before you start the war mission.

Especially this little kid who just opened his eyes. He is no longer suitable to stay on the battlefield - at least not this time. He is just going to die in this state."

Ling nodded slightly, "I know, I will talk to him when I return...but please take back what you just said, Senior Qing."

"Ok?"

"Please don't use frivolous words like 'value' to measure my important companion..." Ling remained calm, but the corners of his mouth showed a downward trend, "and this is not a good result either."

"Well, it's not a good result... I'm sorry." Uchiha Qing put one hand on his waist, sighed, and the smile on his face finally faded. "It's a pity that I'm a little numb to these things. After all, as long as I accept the mission, the number of familiar faces is bound to decrease day by day...

Ha, let's stop saying bad things. Where did the remaining Senju go? Tell me if you have any information. If I can catch them, I will bring their heads to pay tribute to them. Um - is her name Chiho? This little girl. "

"Hmm... Akihiko, talk to Haru-senpai about the information."

"it is good."

After getting a response, Ling turned to Uchiha Sadanobu, stood up and took off his coat, "It's still inconvenient for me to not be able to see, Sadanobu, help me lift Chiho up, and we'll take her home."

Uchiha Sadano wiped his eyes vigorously, took a few steps forward and squatted down, holding the remaining half of the stone spike with one hand, and using chakra absorption to pull Uchiha Chiho's shoulder with the other hand, and helped the sleeping girl up.

Ling also squatted down at this time and helped her put on the outer robe he had just taken off to block the glaring hole.

The entire team was shrouded in an invisible oppression. The only sounds they could hear were Uchiha Akihiko clearly narrating the intelligence of the Senju party and Uchiha Haru asking for details.

"Senju Atsuji, Genichirō, Ryuun, and Xiyang?" Uchiha Qing stroked his chin, "They are all main ninjas. They really put in a lot of effort... Okay, I get it. This area is still not safe. You should retreat as soon as possible. Remember, it's five or six kilometers due north. Be careful on the road."

Several people nodded in response, and after watching Uchiha Qing disappear in the direction that the Senju party had left, they also set off after recovering some of their strength.

Perhaps it was the sunlight that dispelled the bad luck that shrouded them while dispelling the darkness, and the team's journey was particularly smooth, and they arrived at the Uchiha's gathering point in just one hour.

Uchiha Masaki woke up halfway, quietly thanked his teammate who was carrying him on his back, and then walked silently behind Ling.

A pair of dark eyes stared blankly at the girl lying on Ling's back with a smile on her lips, as if she was sleeping soundly. Her face, which usually had a frivolous smile on it, was now as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Uchiha Akihiko frequently looked at Uchiha Masaki. In his eyes, besides the sadness of losing his companion, there was more worry.

But he didn't know how to comfort Uchiha Masaki, or rather, he knew that even if he tried to comfort him it would be in vain.

He was also a person who opened the Mangekyō Sharingan after witnessing the death of an important person. He could understand the emptiness that arose in his heart at that moment - as if there was more than one person who was killed at that time.

If that void is not filled in time, it will become bigger and deeper. It will twist your internal organs into a container, fill it with a large amount of pain, and then draw out your soul and immerse it in it, making you recall the desperate scene over and over again.

Uchiha Akihiko lowered his eyes, hoping that Uchiha Masaki could find someone to vent his suppressed emotions, just like he did with Ling. Because he had experienced this, he could understand a little bit -

Those who are truly crushed by despair are unable to utter a sound.
