Chapter 244 Uchiha Eiji: You two are equally evil-hearted.

That being said, it is not an easy task to actually guide one ninja clan to act as a shield for another ninja clan - after all, it is impossible that all the other ninja clans are fools and cannot see any signs of being fooled, right?

"This is the information that can be bought on the black market," Uchiha Masaki leaned against the wall with his arms folded, his eyes fixed on the pedestrians coming and going on the street, "A lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Although the Yugor clan is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, it still has the strength comparable to a medium-sized or even large ninja clan - this is not a task that can be accomplished by just a few of us."

"Indeed, although I can imagine that a ninja clan that can fight against the Senju will not be too embarrassed even if it declines, I didn't expect that the other party can recover to the strength of a large ninja clan after just a few decades of recuperation..."

Ling raised his hand and touched his chin, looking distressed. "Besides, the other party has been holding back for so many years, so it may not be easy to provoke him. Father has given me a difficult problem."

"Uncle Tajima probably just wants you to open a passage, right?" Uchiha Yingji squatted on one side with his chin propped up, "After all, even if your strength is comparable to those ninjas on the main battlefield, your age is still there. If anything goes wrong, you can just say [younger generation is ignorant], and then put Ling Jun in solitary confinement and cover it up with the foreign race.

Besides, we just finished a war not long ago, and most of the tribesmen who are usually in charge of this are recovering from their injuries. We can't let those seniors who only know how to kill do this, right? If that happens, I'm afraid we will fight with Yuyi before we fight with Senju as per our mission... But then again, do we really need to do this?"

Hearing this, Ling turned his head away and uttered a puzzled syllable.

"For a commission like this to wipe out a ninja clan, the party being commissioned will get a lot of help, right? Although those nobles are always dragging their feet and causing a lot of trouble, it is still commendable that they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals." Uchiha Eiji spread his hands, "When the time comes, they will definitely help us suppress the power of the Senju, which will definitely be less severe than the usual fights... What are those expressions on your faces, the two of you?"

"That's why you can't get the highest mission permission—" Uchiha Masaki looked away and sighed, "Can you try harder to squeeze your brain cells? Don't just look at the present, think about what will happen next—"

"I was thinking about it, but in that case, we have already taken down the Senju, so no blind ninja will come to mess with us again, right? Taking a step back, even if some blind ninjas target us, they have to consider how much they can still retain after dealing with us - do you really think that we can only rely on our powerful mouths to make the Senju look full of hatred and helplessness when they mention us?"

"But that result is based on the conscience of the nobles and the rationality of the surrounding ninjas..." Ling sighed, "Relying on the nobles to have a conscience and the ninjas to remain unshakable in the face of interests is just like expecting a habitual rapist to stick to his bottom line in the face of a beautiful woman.

If this result only affects one individual, then we can be a little more casual as you said, but our actions will affect the clan. Although many clan members are named Uchiha, they are actually no different from ordinary people - they take care of our food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and provide us with a place to call home, so we must protect them as well."

Uchiha Eiji tilted his head, his expression clearly showing that he didn't quite understand, but he finally gave up thinking decisively and happily, "Well, I just mentioned it. You guys take the lead, and I'll just follow."

Uchiha Masaki couldn't help but show a look of extreme disdain to his best friend, "You are so useless."

"It's better than when you were talking to Ling Jun - hey, hey, we are close friends, don't - don't hit me in the face!"

Listening to the noise coming from the two, Ling laughed low, "Anyway, accompany me to get some rewards first. I plan to see how useful my new connections can be."

"You mean the newly established black market?" Uchiha Masaki held Uchiha Eiji's neck tightly and raised his eyebrows slightly. "I heard that they are very capable. The tribesmen said that the missions are gradually becoming easier."

"It's easy... That's good." Ling's smile became gentler, "But the black market is only part of it. The person I'm mainly looking for is Sarutobi Sasuke."

"Sarutobi..." Uchiha Masaki narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment he sneered, "Ah, that ninja who is willing to be a lackey of the nobles like the Hyuga."

Uchiha Eiji squatted on the side and covered his neck, "How did you get involved with the Sarutobi clan? They are rarely seen on the battlefield."

Ling briefly mentioned the mission he had taken when he was in contact with Feiying, "We met at that time. He is not a ninja who only knows how to act rigidly. I should be able to do something with the daimyo through him."

"Those lackeys are just as unreliable, aren't they?" Uchiha Masaki crossed his arms again, "Relationships that can be built with money are quite fragile."

"Yes, I know - but it is also the most stable." Ling tapped the hilt lightly, looking relaxed, "Anyway, try your best before the final timeline. I'll go contact Sarutobi Sasuke, and Masaaki, you can cause trouble for the nobles and delay time while trying to increase the popularity of the Feathered Clan among them."

Uchiha Masaki lowered his eyes and tilted his gaze to the left. After a long while, he gave a reply, "To be honest, I don't think it's feasible... They have endured for so many years. It is impossible for them to expose themselves to an unfavorable situation again just because of this level of exposure and provocation... Not to mention that our clan is the first to bear the brunt of it now."

The smile on Ling's lips spread, "But what if the Uchiha clan [is severely damaged and unable to perform]?"

"Oh?" Uchiha Masaki raised his eyebrows with interest, "What do you mean?"

"I should have mentioned the Blood Pond Clan to you, right? Calculating the time, if their clan is really our brother ninja clan, it is time for them to start moving into the Land of Fire."

Ling slowed down his voice, "As a clan well-known in the ninja world for its eye-jutsu skills, we Uchiha should at least show our hospitality and greet this relative who may be a good person or not, right?

If the former overlord of the Yugor clan doesn't show some appreciation when we, the Uchiha clan, are fully focused on taking care of our relatives and are too busy to do anything else, I think the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan will find a way to send them off without us having to do anything."

"Ha - I understand." Uchiha Masaki leaned back against the wall, "You want to use the blood pool as a convenience for the pupil ninja clan to make the surrounding ninja clans fearful, so as to facilitate our actions."

"Yes, that's the truth." Ling nodded slightly, "With the arrival of the new pupil ninja tribe, they don't know whether we are friends or enemies, so they are naturally happy to see us become enemies with them..."

Uchiha Masaki laughed strangely, "Using a guy who is already very likely to become an enemy to contain a guy who may become an enemy at any time... You are such a dark person."

Hearing this, Uchiha Yingji, whose eyes had long been empty, silently looked at Uchiha Masaki, [In terms of evil hearts, you two are equally evil. ]
