Chapter 196 Recorded by the Whirlpools

Ling was also a little surprised. After all, according to what Yulu said, if the Nine-Tails was calculated, then regardless of the destructive power, just the amount of chakra alone, the Nine-Tails could be equivalent to at least seven thousand six hundred Uchiha Tajima.

Madara and Izuna were obviously also shocked by this gap, but soon, the topic of their discussion shifted from discussing how powerful the tailed beasts were to how one tailed beast could defeat several Senju or the chief of the Uzumaki clan. Then, Ling Renren stopped them from chatting with a sudden thought, and told them not to talk about the tailed beasts casually in public. He then sent them to order food, while he walked towards the hot spring pool in the residential compound.

When he felt the rather warm steam blowing towards him, Xuwo Yi's voice came over, "You're finally here. If you don't come I'll go find - Hey, hey, hey, I know you can't see and need help, but isn't it a bit too much to bring a knife in? I'm unarmed now."

Ling chuckled, leaned his staff against a rock beside the pool, and stepped into the pool in his yukata. "We are indeed unarmed, but the Vajra Blockade is very tricky, and our physical fitness is not as good as the Thousand Hands. What's more, you always say things that sound like a proposal, so you want me to bring some self-defense, right?"

"What? Why do you say that? I learned this from you!" Uzumaki Yi pretended to be hurt. "Have you changed your mind about me?"

Ling's voice was full of helplessness, "When did I teach you this? Don't slander me."

Xuwo Yi laughed strangely, leaning against the pool wall and looking at Ling who was sitting in the corner farthest from him, "Don't say that, I am completely fascinated by you - but it's about time you stop keeping me in suspense, right? Who is this new friend?"

"It's a person of the same age named Shang... He comes from a, um, very ancient bloodline family."

The smile on Uzumaki Yi's face faded slightly, "Do you know their bloodline limits?"

"We exchanged a few moves briefly." Ling chuckled. "How's it going? Are you planning to take the bait?"

Xuwo Yi pondered for a moment and couldn't help but sighed, "Quote."

"I want the historical records of your clan and the Senju clan."

"……what?"

Ling then spoke again, "To be precise, it is your clan's records of the Six Paths Sage and all the people related to him."

Xuwo Yi's expression became strange, "Ling... Could it be that my behavior really caused your feelings for me to sour?"

Ling suddenly laughed, "You are the one whose feelings have deteriorated... I am really talking about business."

"Then what's the difference between this and giving it away for free?" Uzumaki Yi's voice was full of doubt. "Exchanging mythological stories for information about the new ninja clan, no matter how you look at it, it's a huge profit for me, right? You obviously cheated me out of a lot of mission money last time - no matter how you look at it, you don't seem like the kind of person who would give up something good."

"That's my business—" Ling chuckled softly, "If you want to know that, then there's another price."

“Damn… I really worry about you.” Uzumaki Yi ruffled his hair, which was not long to begin with, in annoyance. “I can give you the history of my family right away, but I need to find a chance to ask someone about Senju.”

"Then all I can tell you is his name, bloodline type, and what's so interesting about Shang... But this deal is still valid," Ling chuckled, "You can tell me the rest next time - by then I might get more information."

Xuanwo Yi looked at Ling steadily, and after a moment he sighed and said, "I understand. Let me start with myself..."

Uzumaki Yi slowly described the image of the Sage of Six Paths, which was identical to the one recorded by the Uchiha clan. The difference only appeared when he started to talk about Indra and Ashura.

“According to the story, we are the second son of the Six Paths Sage, the descendants of Ashura, and we inherited the body of the Sage. However, the eldest son of the Six Paths Sage, Indra, was very jealous of Ashura, who inherited the Ninja Clan. So shortly after the succession ceremony, before the Six Paths Sage died, he assassinated Ashura.

This also caused the ninja clan, who had originally felt sorry for Indra, to become alienated from Indra. Indra had no intention of explaining, and left with only a few of his direct descendants and disciples who were willing to follow him. After the death of the Six Paths Sage, he continued to attack the Ninja Clan. Many ninja clan members left because they could not bear the harassment. Such a large Ninja Clan was torn apart.

But the broad-minded Ashura firmly believed that his brother had a secret and was determined to bring him back, so he trained himself again and again, improving his abilities, and finally was able to confront his brother head-on without the help of others.

But it was only limited to duels, the two brothers knew each other too well, so neither side could do anything to the other. Then Ashura came up with the idea of ​​creating his own ninjutsu, and together with one of his wives, he developed a sealing technique, so that people who were not originally strong could use sealing techniques to face things stronger than themselves.

And his wife was the ancestor of our clan. Originally, we were supposed to follow Asura's surname, but before his death, Asura kept saying that he was an incompetent person, so he let all his bloodline take the surname of his mother's clan.

He also said that his brother was a gentle and strong man, and that something must have happened to him that he and his father didn’t know about. He hoped that future generations could find the descendants of Indra and reconcile with them. However, after his death, his wives had disagreements, and in the end, the search for the descendants of Indra was left unresolved…”

Having said this, Uzumaki Yi finally spread his hands and said, "That's about it - but there's not much that can be believed. After all, which strong ninja clan doesn't brag about their ancestors in history? "

"Hey..." Ling stood up from the hot water and stretched out his voice slightly, "Then maybe you can get what you longed for."

Xuanwo Yi raised his head and uttered a puzzled syllable.

"After all, the Blood Pond clan I'm talking about is said to be the direct descendants of Indra."
