Chapter 241 Izuna: Brother Ban is about to become a horror legend!

After handing over the important task of teaching Madara to Ling, Uchiha Tajima seemed to straighten up. "There's nothing else to do. I'll have my clan place an additional order with the Iron Kingdom for the weapons you requested."

"Yes, then I won't bother my father anymore."

But after leaving the house, Ling couldn't help but sigh, "Father really knows how to give me difficult problems..."

It's no wonder Ling has a headache. Madara himself is not dull. On the contrary, he is a person who is extremely sensitive and meticulous about changes. As long as he calms down, Ling believes that Madara can do better than him.

But this is where the problem lies. Although Ling's ability has always been stronger than his peers, it is not as strong as Ban's, which is almost a disparity. Therefore, peers often exchange and learn from each other to make progress together.

However, Madara's talent and excellence are even enough to allow him to overcome age restrictions to challenge ninjas older than himself, and quickly absorb their experience and put it to good use. This also caused the gap in strength between Madara, who was already far ahead of others in the clan school, and his peers to widen further. In order to catch up with Madara, his peers redoubled their efforts, which also caused the relatively more talented peers and the averagely talented peers to widen the gap more quickly.

Furthermore, people of the Uchiha clan are used to admiring the strong and being proud, so when Madara's peers respect and fear Madara and keep their distance, Madara will not deliberately spend time to build good relationships with his peers - if there is such time, Madara would rather ask people who are stronger than himself for advice on how to make himself stronger.

This also led to the fact that when Madara encountered a problem, he would first think of "Can I quickly quell the chaos through my own force?" instead of "How can I use the power of others to solve it without leaving any trouble?"

Thinking of this, Ling couldn't help but sigh again, [If I want to correct this kind of thinking, I just need to find a peer opponent who can rival Madara, but there are really no good candidates in the clan - but if it's outside the clan, I have to investigate whether the other party has ulterior motives, and the workload is not small...

Well, let's do it one by one. First, I'll take care of my father and the clan's affairs. Then I'll go get in touch with Madara's peers and do some tasks to see if there are any suitable young people from other clans...

Sigh - it looks like the trip to River Country will have to be postponed for a bit, but it's actually okay, after all, the new weapons haven't arrived yet. Once I get the new weapons and get used to them, my combat power should be able to improve. Then it will be safer to go to the places recommended by Yi...]

Ling was walking towards his room while thinking, but was stopped halfway by someone again. The person's voice was brisk and full of longing, "Brother! You're back!"

Ling stopped his steps and complicated thoughts, opened his hands, and smiled softly, "Quan Na, long time no see."

Quannai immediately ran a few steps and threw herself into Ling's arms, "Welcome back! Onii-sama!"

But after Ling caught Quannai, he frowned, "Is your leg injured? The sound of the force applied by your left and right steps is different."

"No, I didn't—"

"Izunai," Ling raised his hand and pressed Izunai's shoulder, slightly pulling away, with a hint of worry between his brows, "Never lie to your family."

Izuna opened her mouth for a long time before she mumbled, "...I was just accidentally stabbed by a kunai during a previous mission. It didn't hurt my bones or tendons. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Ling's mouth corners lowered two degrees, "Who did it?"

"That... Wen Shu and the others have helped me get revenge," Izunai recalled the scene at that time, "Wen Shu was even more open-minded at that time."

"Wen Shu?" Ling frowned slightly, "Why did you go on a mission with Wen Shu and the others?"

Izunai lowered her voice, "Because the way Madara-ge gets along with his peers is worrying, so I want to get in touch with Madara-ge's peers more often, and indirectly help Madara-ge improve his image..."

Ling sighed, "What is the specific situation of the injury?"

"It's a penetrating wound. The kunai got stuck right between the tibia and fibula. Although it was very painful at the time, it's just a minor wound that will heal in two or three days with the treatment of medical ninjutsu. It won't even affect your movements. It's really okay."

Ling sighed, stood up and rubbed the top of Quannai's head, "Don't come here when your leg is injured, it will affect your recovery."

Quan Nai chuckled, raised her hand to hug Ling's arm, and leaned her head closer, "But I miss my brother - doesn't my brother miss me?"

"You... don't try to change the subject," Ling raised his hand and tapped Izuna's forehead, smiling helplessly, "You just got the right to an independent mission not long ago, so you are a little inexperienced to follow Wen Shu and the others on a mission, and Madara's matter is not that urgent."

"But - Brother Ban, as they say, is almost a horror legend!" Izumi puffed up her cheeks, "It's urgent now, how can it not be urgent..."

"Our Izuna is so good~" Ling's smile became more gentle, and he reached out to rub the top of Izuna's head, "But before helping your family, it is most important to live your own life, so just leave these things to your brother, ok?"

Quan Nai stared at Ling's gentle smile, only to find that the white silk covering Ling's eyes was so dazzling. He pursed his lips, his eyes were a little colder, but he still hugged Ling's arm like a spoiled child, his voice full of dependence, "But I don't want to be like that, I don't want to be separated from my brother and Brother Ban - it's also good to be a part of your life."

Hearing this, Ling's eyebrows drooped, his expression helpless and a little sad, "... Izuna, I understand your thoughts, but just like you value me and Madara, we also value you. You are an irreplaceable and important existence to us, so, Izuna, promise your brother to put cherishing yourself first, okay?"

"I will cherish myself. Father said that only those who cherish themselves will know how to cherish others." Izuna raised her hand and touched her nose. "I just want to say that I love my brother and brother Madara very much. I can do anything for you!"

"So, my brother does have something that Izuna must help with right now."

Izuna's eyes suddenly lit up, "What? I can definitely do it!"

Ling chuckled and pulled his hand away, then squatted down with his back to Quan Nai, "Then go back and rest well. Come on, get up, brother will carry you."

Izunai slowly puffed up her cheeks, but in the end she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips and threw herself on Ling's back, "Then I want you to spend the rest of the day with me, my brother!"

"Okay..." Ling put his hands around Izuna's knees, stood up, and said in a very gentle voice, "I'll accompany you today."
