Chapter 219 Izuna feels worried

Ling acted very efficiently. After going to the Great Elder to lift the ban the next morning, he went to find Uchiha Haiming again and asked her to help investigate the clan members' more specific and detailed views on the Senju clan.

Uchiha Haiming almost rolled up his sleeves and punched Ling on the spot, but under the gaze of the children, he maintained his gentleness and only cursed in a low voice through gritted teeth.

Ling Quan pretended not to hear and after a solemn request, he hurriedly asked Sanzu to take him to the tribe's dessert shop to buy some water chestnut cakes. He went home and appealed to Izunai's emotions and reason with her for the entire afternoon, finally coaxing the child into submission. Then he began to pack his luggage and quickly said goodbye to his family the next morning and left.

Quan Nai looked at Ling's back, which was now only a tiny part of him, and couldn't help but puffing up her cheeks, "Brother, what's wrong with you? You actually like going on missions so much..."

"Actually, I like it quite a bit..." Madara reached out and touched his brother's head, his expression slightly complicated, "If it weren't for those stupid guys holding me back."

Izuna blinked and shifted her gaze towards Madara, "But Madara, I am also holding you back."

Madara tilted his head and thought for a moment, "No, Izuna, at least you won't make the same mistake twice, but those idiots - those guys will make mistakes again and again to challenge my bottom line."

[Brother Ban was definitely about to curse just now... So how bad are his peers that he despises them so much? ]

Izunai shifted her gaze to the direction where Ling left, and thought of Ling who was always busy when someone often visited her, and Madara who was always alone and took care of the housework when no one visited him. [Well, I should help Madara do more housework in the future so that he has time - no, I should just ask Madara's peers to take on the task for me, and I will help Madara to ease his interpersonal relationships. After all, if I give Madara some time, he will still just find a place to practice by himself, right?]

"Izuna? Why are you sighing suddenly? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking, my brother is going to have his seventeenth birthday soon, but the money I have saved is still not enough to buy a staff sword made entirely of chakra steel..."

Hearing this, Madara stroked his chin and said, "Then how about considering a dagger? After all, a staff sword is not suitable in many situations. It would be more convenient for you to have an extra dagger. It doesn't need to be too long, about two-thirds of the arm will do."

Izuna calculated the length and frowned, "...It seems that this is not enough. Special customization will cost extra."

"Well - let me make up for the shortfall, okay? My gift is ready, but I still have a lot of money left."

"Eh?! What did Brother Ban prepare?"

"A brand new chakra steel staff sword - after all, brother is still growing, the old one should no longer fit, right?" Madara crossed his arms, "and it's not convenient to have to wait every time you go to repair the weapon... As for weapons, it's better to have replacements."

Izumi was stunned for a moment, "If I remember correctly... Brother Madara, you went on a mission only one year earlier than me, right? Judging from the rewards you have received now, it's not enough anyway, right?"

But Madara just crossed his arms, as if it was a matter of course, "Well, but I did some missions with the adults. Although it was a bit hard, I could get a lot, and I didn't have to endure those idiots - those guys doing stupid things in front of me."

[Ah... Just now, Brother Ban definitely wanted to curse again. This is really a worrying interpersonal relationship.]

Madara looked at his brother who had fallen silent again, and reached out to stroke the hair that looked extremely unruly but unusually soft. "Anyway, if you don't have enough money by then, just come to me for it. Anyway, I don't have much to spend except for occasionally going to the sushi restaurant."

Izuna thought about her brother's miserable interpersonal relationships and nodded slightly, "...Okay, I'll pay it back later."

Instead, Madara looked quite hurt, and said with disapproval, "What's mine is yours. Do brothers need to make such a clear distinction between them?"

"Brother Madara, even though my elder brother favors us so much, he never shares money in this way, saying that it will foster laziness, and when laziness accumulates, a person will be ruined..." Izuna looked up at Madara with resentment and helplessness, "Brother Madara, do you want me to get used to getting something for nothing and become a lazy bug?"

"It doesn't matter if you get something for nothing while I'm here..." Seeing Izuna gradually raise his eyebrows, Madara stopped talking tactfully, "Okay, do whatever you want. Remember to come to me if you need anything."

Izuna nodded, but thinking of her worries just now, she brought up the topic again, "By the way, do you think there are any of your peers who are a little more reliable?"

"…Izuna, why are you asking this?"

"My peers are a little behind me, but it's a little too early to fight with my brother's generation..." Izuna made a distressed expression, "Ban-niang has his own things to do, so he can't always take me with him, so I would like to ask Ban-niang's peers to take me on missions."

Madara heaved a sigh of relief, "Let me think - Fire Core?"

"Hey——what kind of person is he? Is he easy to get along with?"

"Well, he's very capable and patient. He's the one who helps correct any problems that the stupid... guys have when I'm leading the team. You can learn a lot from him."

[Shouldn't it be the captain's responsibility to summarize the team's mistakes?] Izuna's expression gradually became serious, [Isn't it true that the crisis of Madara-kun among his peers is no longer just about interpersonal relationships... We should put the matter of asking for training on the agenda.]

"...Izuna."

"Well?"

"The expression you just had..."

"I'm worried about the mission. After all, Brother Ban doesn't have a good relationship with his peers, right?" Izuna lowered his head and sighed again, "I don't know if I..."

Madara's eyebrows softened, and his voice became unusually gentle, "It's okay, go ahead, those idiots won't dare to do that."

Izuna:……

[Oh no, I am even more worried. What should I do?]
