Chapter 318 5 years

After saying goodbye to Kurama Ginka, Ling went straight home, and unsurprisingly received a very long and formal house arrest order from his old father, as well as the standard Uchiha-style concern from his younger brothers.

Ling didn't have any good solution for this and could only start house arrest and rest - but just because he couldn't leave, didn't it mean he couldn't call someone over?

As soon as he confirmed that his injury had recovered, Ling asked Sanzu to help him pass a message to his peers, inviting them to come to the small training ground in his backyard to practice and exchange skills.

After the house was nearly demolished several times, Uchiha Tajima was very upset and drove him to the training ground in the back mountain - there was no other way, ninja is a profession destined to be closely associated with fighting, he couldn't just hold on to a small mistake and delay his child's progress, right?

However, it is impossible to get anyone in front of the Kurama clan anymore - they have to show their sense of responsibility to their allies, so they can only send them to the back mountain away from everyone's eyes before they can resume training.

What? Ask him if this behavior is irresponsible to other ethnic groups?

Uchiha Tajima said that if this level of competition only happened to members of their clan, at most the winner would bear all the medical expenses. Confinement? Confinement, you big head ghost, wishful thinking! The winner and the loser were actually sent to the hospital, and they all practiced more after they came out, so as to avoid embarrassment later!

Therefore, what really makes Ling feel difficult is the standard Uchiha-style concern of his younger brothers, who seem to be determined to stick to it to the end.

Thinking of this, Ling couldn't help but sigh during the intermission, and nudged Uchiha Masaki who was sitting next to him with his elbow, "Hey, Masaki, how do you think I should coax my brothers this time?"

Uchiha Masaki, who was trying to calm down, looked quite speechless. "How could I possibly know how to comfort your brother? And compared to how to comfort him afterwards, wouldn't it be better for you to make less trouble?"

"I didn't expect that I would send myself to prison..." Ling sighed, lowered his head, and touched the back of his neck dejectedly, "Without the Sharingan, it's a bit difficult to deal with illusions - I should think of a way."

Uchiha Masaki opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't dare to speak out the complaints in his heart, and instead talked about their previous sparring, "What happened to your previous sword move?"

Having his train of thought interrupted, Ling stopped dwelling on it and focused on what Uchiha Masaki said, "What?"

"It was the one I blocked with Susanoo just now." Uchiha Masaki glanced at the cut that extended to the edge of the training ground, frowning tightly. "I used the Sharingan to observe it. It's not something that can be done with just the wind attribute chakra enhancement. When I tried to simulate it just now, I found that it was completely impossible to replicate it. What did you do?"

Ling was stunned, and recalled repeatedly. After confirming that he really did not do anything, he spoke, "I just used the lightning attribute chakra to strengthen my body, and then used the wind attribute chakra to strengthen the slash...

If I must say, well, there was a strong sense of sluggishness when the slash was made - but after all, two attribute changes were used at the same time, so it is normal that there are some abnormalities. "

"That shouldn't be the case..." Uchiha Masaki couldn't help but pick up the kunai and waved it in the air. With the jumping of tiny lightning arcs, he slashed out a small wind blade, and then frowned more tightly as he looked at the small pit on the ground cut by the wind blade. "I didn't fall behind, but the power can't keep up?"

"I did the same. The reason why the power is different is probably because you focus more on ninjutsu and don't use this method very often, right?" Ling also caught Uchiha Masaki's chakra fluctuations in his perception and was also puzzled. "Or you can try using my sword? The chakra conductivity of kunai is not as good as that of chakra steel."

"Tsk, am I not good at something?" Uchiha Masaki curled his lips, "I just don't want to argue with you - if I wasn't so unmotivated in the beginning, would you guys be able to bully me?"

Ling tilted his head and thought for a while, his expression serious, "I think it's possible, after all, Yashu is too soft-hearted - after all, when you were in the clan school, you even pretended to lose to Yougu in order to avoid being punished by the teacher for being the last in the class, so that you and he would be punished outside together."

"...Can't you remember less useless things?"

Ling immediately showed a look of shock, "Those are precious memories between us, how can they be considered useless?"

Uchiha Masaki raised his hands to cover his face - there was no point in chatting about this damn thing.

After resting for a while, the two stood up before their bodies were completely cooled by the cold wind, intending to continue their fighting practice.

However, they were stopped halfway through the fight by Uchiha Hiro who arrived. The reason why he stopped made the two of them take it very seriously - the new sealing technique had been developed and they should make preparations.

"Incredible..." Uchiha Masaki talked to Uchiha Hiroshi while putting on his coat, "You actually developed a new sealing technique? I remember that the improved perception ninjutsu was only in the clan for a short time, right?"

Uchiha Hiro's expression became strange, "...Are you mocking me?"

Uchiha Masaki just stood there in a daze, looking stunned. "I'm praising you, okay? Why do you always think so badly of others?"

"Really?" Uchiha Hiro shrugged and sneered, "After all, I didn't think anyone would spend several years developing one or two ninjutsu if they were serious about it. Now it seems... heh."

Uchiha Masaki: ...What the hell?! What do you mean by that??!

Listening to the noisy noises around him, Ling, who was sorting his clothes, couldn't help but laugh - these two people really are restless no matter when they get together.

But after laughing, his expression gradually became serious. He found out about the problem with the stone tablet about seven or eight months after the accident. Another three or four months later, it would be exactly five years.

Five years.

Such a period of time is very long for a ninja who is considered a consumable.

During this time, he never forgot that there was an enemy who was elusive and was plotting against the Uchiha in the dark.

Ling lowered his head, gently stroking the handle of the cane knife, and chuckled, but it couldn't cover up the murderous intent that was almost tangible.

"It's really... very exciting."
