Chapter 217: Sadness from Fathers (Laughs)

Uchiha Tajima looked at his eldest son who was leaving the clan and narrowed his eyes slightly. "If I remember correctly, I should have kept you confined for a month, and it's only been... eight days, right?"

"Yes, I have something I have to do."

"Ling, you know, I rarely specify your confinement time, and usually let you decide on your own. But this time, I gave the order myself, and considering your situation this time, do you think just a few days would be enough to offset it?"

"I also know that what I did is very absurd in your eyes, but the agreement I made with the black market party is really not easy to delay any longer. Moreover, the black market personnel this time are even enough to have a slight influence on the decision of those nobles in the upper echelons of the Fire Nation..."

Ling knelt upright in front of Uchiha Tajima, his voice as gentle and calm as usual, but his slightly white fingertips exposed his inner uncertainty to a certain extent, "Let's not talk about the fact that the nobles want to take action against the ninja clan now, we should have made friends with them.

Simply making friends with her will allow Masaaki's subsequent actions in the Land of Fire to go more smoothly and allow his tense emotions to be truly relieved. I also have reasons to make friends with her in this new route.

Even if we exclude our friendship, from the perspective of my father and the clan, I don't need to elaborate on what kind of power a man of stable emotions and extraordinary talent will have in the future wars, right?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Tajima couldn't help but fall silent. Of course he knew this. Rather, the current Uchiha Akihiko was a good example.

Not to mention that due to the rigid age limit, they are not strong enough to face some veteran ninjas. The power of the Mangekyō Sharingan alone is enough to suppress the sealing techniques in the minds of the Thousand Hands captives that may explode at any time, which makes the front-line team feel much more relaxed.

After all, many times, the most difficult thing is not to defeat those old opponents, but how to deal with those unconscious people, human bombs, which may explode at any time and cannot be determined by illusion. Although the hatred is deep, the two tribes still exchange prisoners - only those who are disabled but still alive.

But just like their clan would use illusions to randomly select lucky Thousand Hands to detonate at the moment of awakening after being captured, the Thousand Hands would also randomly take an indefinite number of people on a one-way trip to the Pure Land based on the number of people nearby and their own conditions after waking up - of course, of course, they would choose to do these things when their companions were not around, after all, they just hated their opponents and did not want to kill their companions.

As Uchiha Akihiko became more active, his father, Uchiha Genshan, the representative of the radical faction in the clan, asked him more than once to transfer the position of junior clan leader to Uchiha Akihiko instead of his other son, Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Tajima didn't mind this. On the contrary, he had talked with Uchiha Akihiko alone more than once, hoping that he could stay with him or the elders to learn how to manage the clan.

But every time he got the only answer of rejection, which led to him being pointed at by Uchiha Genshan and scolded in meetings with the elders more than once, asking him what kind of love potion he had ordered his son to feed Uchiha Akihiko - this once made Uchiha Tajima feel extremely aggrieved.

You know, he has followed Ling and Uchiha Akihiko privately more than once to observe how the two get along. He is also sure that his son is the one who is bullied in their daily interactions. When Ling had just become blind, he even saw Uchiha Akihiko forcibly grabbing Ling's neck after a sparring match and dragging him away.

But Uchiha Xuanshan didn't care about that. He never had a good face towards him. In situations where he didn't have to consider the face of the clan leader, he would point at his nose and scold him. Moreover, because the opponent's strength was almost the same as his own, the other elders were even more indifferent and looked like they didn't want to get involved.

Fortunately, no matter how bad his relationship with Uchiha Genshan is, he will not oppose just for the sake of opposing. At most, he will snort coldly to indicate that he will not vote when I speak to his heart's content.

Oh, by the way, Uchiha Genshan is the son of the former clan leader of my generation who was squeezed out by me.

It’s just that the other person is upset about his son’s affairs, so shouldn’t he be upset because of his son too?

If the opponent's son caused any trouble, it could be resolved with a little mobilization within the clan. But look at his own son - he even dared to bring his young family members to drink and talk about business with his opponent!

Uchiha Tajima dares to guarantee that if any clan leader or elder from past generations were to try to deal with this terrible situation, they would definitely be extremely anxious on the spot - who wouldn't be anxious when the child of a high-ranking clan member does something that is close to treason with the enemy?

But he still had to say that he was worthy of being his son! Really amazing! He and Qianshou Buddha had been fighting for so many years, and at most they would hold back from fighting each other, and briefly discuss whether to accept large-scale battle missions, and then slightly stagger the mission intervals of the two clans to give each other's clans some time to recuperate.

As for drinking and talking happily? Oh, don't make such unrealistic jokes. They all want to kill the other party so that the other clan will be leaderless and fall into chaos, and then take the opportunity to exterminate the clan.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Tajima let out a long sigh, and his tone became more serious, "Ling, I'll ask you again, do you really know what you are doing?"

"Yes, I know."

Ling's answer was still without any hesitation, which made Uchiha Tajima feel more and more headache, and his expression was a little distorted, but this distortion in his expression did not affect his increasingly harsh tone, "Ling, you know, although I am your father, at the same time, I am also the clan leader.

As the clan leader, I have the responsibility and obligation to lead the clan forward, and I must prepare for possible threats in advance... and what you are doing now is a threat to the clan."

Ling still sat upright, his voice still gentle and calm as usual, but the firmness in it was enough to move people, "If that day really comes, I will end my life before embarrassing my father... I will never let the enemy have the opportunity to threaten the clan with me."
