Chapter 165 Helpless Ling: I am an Uchiha.

"Hey... you guys met?" Ling laughed, "How was it? Yi is really a very interesting person, right?"

"...Can't you hear the point of my words?" Uchiha Akihiko showed a disgusted expression, "That's a pervert - you don't know how disgusting his expression was at that time!"

"Well, it's okay, it's okay, I can't see now--"

"...You are pretending not to understand me, right? Do you believe that I will take your brother to find that pervert?"

"Okay, okay, my bad..." Ling laughed softly, "I'll talk to him next time I see him and ask him to be more restrained."

"Hey, I wonder if you guys are..."

"No."

"I haven't even finished..."

"Whether he finished speaking or not, you are definitely mistaken," Ling waved his hand, "We are just simple enemies and friends - but then again, sometimes Yi's words are indeed easy to be misunderstood... Is it the difference in the Uzumaki clan's education?"

"That's not just a difference in education," Uchiha Akihiko said with dead eyes, "That's pure brain disease."

"Well, don't say that. It's quite interesting to have such an enemy of equal strength." Ling smiled easily, "It's getting late, Zhao Yan should go back soon. Your pupil power has been consumed a lot, so you still need to recover well.

As for Hong, our tentative attack with the Thousand Hands is over now. The next battle will only be more intense, and there will be many more casualties. His pupil power seems to be seriously depleted. In this case, it will be easy to become a flaw if he goes to the battlefield. Let him stay in the tribe and treat everyone."

Uchiha Akihiko was stunned when he heard this, "Are you planning to go back and take on another mission? Don't you want to rest for a while?"

"Well, I'll leave after I talk to Yashu and confirm his condition," Ling sighed, "I haven't suffered any serious injuries, and I've already informed my family that I'm safe. Right now they're fighting a fierce battle with the Senju clan, so it's better for me to try to help."

"You can take Madara or Izuna with you on the mission. After all, this is wartime, and the Senju will most likely find ways to make things difficult for us, so the mission won't be that easy to accomplish."

"Look at what you said. As long as I cause enough trouble for them on the battlefield, won't they have no energy to find fault with the mission? And the effect may be better."

"Hey, you're not planning to act alone, are you?" Uchiha Akihiko frowned even more tightly, "It would have been fine before, but now it's better for you to act with the team, right?"

"That's true... but my current situation still makes it difficult for me to cooperate with others. Not only am I restricted, but my teammates can't fight with all their heart either. It's better for me to act independently." Ling raised his hand and touched his chin. "Besides, I still have Xiaoyou here, who can replenish my chakra in time when needed. There shouldn't be any problem with safety..."

Uchiha Akihiko frowned in disapproval, but before he could say anything, the blue cat head popped out from Ling's collar, and the gentle female voice came, "I don't mind you using my chakra, but if you keep doing this, your body will really collapse. The chakra of the tailed beasts is not as good as you think."

Feeling the itch on his neck, Ling tilted his head slightly, rubbed his chin against the soft hair, and chuckled, "Well, I'm aware of this, so next time I'll try not to borrow chakra from you - sorry, Xiaoyou should prefer stability, right?"

"Hmph~ What are you talking about? Cats will die if they are bored."

The conversation between the man and the cat was heartwarming, but on the other side, Uchiha Akihiko was instantly soaked with cold sweat on his back. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Youlv with some trembling, "Ling, did you hear what it just said?"

Ling tilted his head and snorted in confusion, "Are you saying... am I making the cat worry about me?"

Uchiha Akihiko was about to say something when he met the kitten's strange-colored eyes. He unconsciously took a step back, glared with his Sharingan, and froze.

Feeling the strangeness of his companion, Ling finally realized what he was talking about, and said, "If you are talking about the tailed beasts, I already knew this."

Uchiha Akihiko remained stiff, not daring to take his eyes away from Matata, and his voice sounded extremely dry, "...You know?"

"Yeah, I know, but like I said, you just need to treat Xiaoyou as an ordinary cat. After all, you see..." Ling said, taking Youlu out of his collar, "Very cute, right?"

Youlu cooperated very well by shaking his ears and meowing, as if to say that he was just an innocent cat with no bad intentions.

But Uchiha Akihiko took another step back, and the magatama in his eyes even formed complicated patterns for a while, but he soon realized that this was not appropriate, and he said goodbye dryly and ran away vigilantly.

Youlu grabbed Ling's palm and stared at Zhaoyan's back, "He ran away in fear."

"Yeah, it was scared away..." Ling rubbed the kitten's soft and warm body with his fingers, with a hint of regret in his voice, "And he probably cursed at me in his heart, saying I was crazy, right?"

"If that's the case, then in a sense it's not wrong. You are indeed quite crazy."

"That's true... but there's nothing we can do about it, right?" Ling put the beast back on his shoulder. "After all, in order to make the children remember the dangers of the ninja world more deeply, the elders of our clan compiled dangers such as forbidden areas and tailed beasts into bedtime stories. Some of the images are really too deeply rooted in people's minds because of preconceived notions."

Youlu jumped onto Ling's head, spun around a few times, and then leisurely put his paws in his pocket. "Then you must have been a self-disciplined kid who didn't cling to people at all and had no childishness at all."

Ling tapped his cane and sword and walked towards home, but his voice was full of helplessness, "Don't slander me casually... I also had a period when I liked to stick to my parents and listen to their stories. Moreover, I took care of Madara and Izuna when they were young, and I memorized all those stories."

"Humph~ That means there is something wrong with your brain."

"Ah... didn't I tell you?" Ling's voice became more helpless, "I'm an Uchiha."
