Chapter 231 Youlu: What a delicate relationship.

It was certainly a gratifying thing that the plan that had been in place for two years had finally come to fruition, but considering that the two parties were far apart, Ling was also mentally prepared for receiving false information and being ambushed upon his arrival.

Moreover, compared with dealing with possible ambushes, Ling was more worried about how he should quietly cross the sea and enter the border of the Water Kingdom.

Most of the previous arrangements were made by asking people in the black market to go there in the form of traders. He himself would at most hang out in the coastal areas of the Fire Country and wait for news for a few days, or go to the Thunder Country and take a boat to the Water Country, but he had never set foot in the Whirlpool Country - even though the Whirlpool Country was the fastest route to the Water Country.

you ask why?

That's of course because the Uzumaki clan's lair is in the Country of Uzumaki. Ling doesn't believe that these tough opponents who have lived here for generations and have mastered the art of sealing will not have deployed sealing spells for surveillance within the country, let alone that they will not leave warning spells on the coast that is far away from the Country of Water.

You should know that the reason why the Whirlpool Country is called the Whirlpool Country is because the former daimyo of the Whirlpool Country was afraid of the power of the Uzumaki clan and thus made a gesture of goodwill.

If I trigger the seal here and get caught by the Uzumaki clan, then I would be overestimating my own strength by saying that no one can help me, even if I cry out to heaven or earth.

"Although we have some friendship, considering the current relationship between the two tribes, Yi probably won't help me with smuggling, right?" Ling sighed, looking a little sad. "No, it's better to say that he didn't bring people to arrest me after he found out. I have to sigh that he is so sincere to me."

"You and that guy are obviously enemies, but when you are in trouble, you think of him first," Youlu poked his head out from Ling's collar, "What a subtle relationship."

"Now that you put it that way, it does seem a little wrong..." Ling raised his hand and touched his chin, but he didn't dwell on it for too long. "Due to the change in power in the Lightning Country, the ports leading to the Water Country are strictly controlled. I also bought intelligence before that it's difficult to get in, so this time when I go to the Water Country, I can only take some risks and find a boatman along the coast of the Fire Country."

"Why don't you ask me?" Youlu climbed onto Ling's head, "It's not like I can't help you with this kind of thing - after all, it's only a short distance from here to the Water Kingdom."

"But doesn't Xiaoyou hate water? I'm already very grateful that you're willing to follow me." Ling chuckled a few times, and summoned the Eight-foot-high psychic to let it go to find the boatman who went out to sea. "And if I still can't find a way after trying all the ways, I will take the initiative to tell you what I want. I hope Xiaoyou won't despise me then."

Yutaro chuckled and used his chin to hold down his hair that was constantly fluttering in the wind in front of him. "I haven't been to the Water Country for a long time... I don't know if those guys have moved."

"Those guys...are you talking about the other tailed beasts?"

"Yes, the last time I saw one of them was fourteen years ago." Youlv yawned, "If we can meet this time, I would like to chat more in person."

Ling paused slightly, "Can the tailed beasts keep in touch without meeting each other?"

"Well, after all, we are essentially one. When the old man was conceiving us, he specially opened up a space. As long as we leave our chakra, we can communicate across endless distances..."

At this point, Yutaka paused, his voice a little muffled, "But there are also some inconveniences. If you die accidentally, at least three tailed beasts must be gathered together to reconnect with the space. Because of this, I have to look for them all over the world after being resurrected several times.

But they are either too lazy to move or are hard to find. Even with me, it will take years to get two more. It's really exhausting."

Just listening to Youlu's depressed voice, the faint smile on Ling's face faded. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand, held Youlu in his arms, and helped comb its hair.

Youlv was enjoying the smooth hair but also a little confused, "What happened to you all of a sudden? Weren't you very happy just now?"

"Nothing," Ling lowered his head, his voice gentle but a little sad, "I just think Xiao You is really, really gentle... I was so lucky to have met Xiao You in the first place."

Youlu blinked, not knowing what he had said that had touched Ling's sensitive nerves. Just as he was about to change the subject, another cloud of white smoke exploded in the air, and Yata's voice came, "We have already investigated it clearly. There will be a fleet bound for the Land of Water tomorrow morning, but they have stopped selling tickets. It will be troublesome to go through the normal channels."

"Oh, really?" Ling tilted his head slightly, letting Yatagarasu fall on his shoulder, and said in a relaxed voice, "Then let's give it a try. Success would be the best, but if we fail, we can only sneak in first under the cover of night."
