Chapter 36 Ling decided to restrain himself a little

After Ling returned home, the happiest person was Izuna. She became even more excited when she learned that Ling would stay at home to sort things out instead of going up the mountain again. The next day, after returning from the clan school, she chased Ling with a ninjutsu scroll and asked him questions about the new ninjutsu.

Although Ling rarely uses ninjutsu because he can't see, Izunai is now learning the same things he learned in the past, so there is no problem in teaching him.

However, Izuna's actions also made Ling interested in learning ninjutsu again. Always a man of action, he went to the place where the clan stored the ninjutsu scrolls that afternoon and asked the clan members guarding there to help him find a few relatively basic lightning scrolls that he had never seen before.

Then, under the pretense of teaching Izuna, he asked Izuna to read to him, and then combined with his own experience to try to master it, he actually learned new ninjutsu - but because he could not see the detailed explanation of the chakra meridians recorded on the scroll, Ling took a lot of detours, and he was sure that if he wanted to learn ninjutsu now, it would be best for him to develop it on his own instead of finding someone to help read the scroll.

During this period, Ling also went to find Uchiha Tajima and asked him to help record the perception ninjutsu he had recently figured out. While recording, Uchiha Tajima also pointed out the most difficult problem Ling was facing now - insufficient chakra.

In order to ensure accurate perception results, the chakra consumption of perception ninjutsu is always high - but Uchiha is not good at this. His innate excellent perception ability can only help Ling reduce the chakra consumption during perception. However, even if the perception ninjutsu reduces consumption, there is no reason to maintain it all day.

"Well, I have thought about this, but I can't think of a better way to improve except training..." Ling knelt upright, "Also, I have adapted to the darkness now. I don't need to maintain perception ninjutsu all day long. I can still handle low-intensity battles, but just like you thought, I probably won't be able to return to the battlefield before solving the problem of insufficient chakra... Sorry."

"No way to return to the battlefield? Then don't return." Uchiha Tajima laughed softly, "According to the latest information, many people in the Senju clan who have had the honor of fighting with you before are trying their best to find out your whereabouts and kill you to avenge their previous shame... So it doesn't matter if Ling no longer participates in battlefield missions - but you can still continue to make a name for yourself."

At this point, Ling also laughed, "Indeed, after all, they sent so many people to surround me and let me escape. I guess they must feel like there are spiders crawling on the back of their necks after they found out I'm still alive, right?"

"Forget spiders, it's even possible that it's crawling with slugs." After laughing at the Thousand Hands, Uchiha Tajima pinched his eyes again, and there was some melancholy in his voice, "When Madara comes back, go talk to him. That kid always listens to you."

"What's wrong with Madara?" Ling tilted his head. "Is it because he was frustrated by the failure of the mission? But with Madara's ability, he should be able to judge the difficulty of the mission and won't choose a mission that is too beyond his ability, right?"

Ling had a reason to say this. According to the current mode of accepting tasks, the tasks of the task office could be as small as going to a certain place to purchase items, or as big as taking someone's head in the midst of thousands of troops.

Even young ninjas who have just started to accept missions may accidentally choose a mission that exceeds their abilities and lead to their death after they become independent - after all, the missions are accepted under a family system, and all missions are sent by the client to the hidden intelligence points outside the various families, and then the family will send people to integrate and deliver them. Faced with so many tasks, the clan is already facing a heavy workload just to integrate and count the mission rewards, time and categories.

This is why the Uchiha clan has an independent mission permission examination. In addition to preventing the new generation of ninjas from making meaningless but fatal mistakes due to their lack of killing experience, it is also to teach them how to choose tasks that suit their abilities.

"It's not that kind of thing..." Uchiha Tajima put down his hand, his expression becoming more and more tangled, "Someone reported to me that the juniors who teamed up with Madara had fierce verbal conflicts with Madara more than once during the mission. In other words, Madara is somewhat unpopular among his peers...

I don't necessarily want to keep the position of the clan leader in my own hands. After all, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The position of clan leader should naturally be occupied by the capable. But whether it is the clan leader or the clan members, communication is essential - Madara can't go on like this."

"I understand. I will think of a way after Madara comes back this time." Ling's smile turned helpless. "But forgive me for being frank, compared to my generation, there are no outstanding people among Madara's peers. I guess it is for this reason that Madara always has friction with his peers? After all, Madara is a genius, and geniuses always find it difficult to communicate with mortals--"

Uchiha Tajima just shook his head. As the youngest son in the family, he really couldn't understand the eldest son's almost unconditional tolerance and doting on his younger brothers - but he could understand the youngest son's admiration for his older brothers very well - after all, he had admired them too.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Tajima's smile became helpless. "That's all I have to say. If you have any questions about training, just come to me. Although I don't specialize in physical training, it's still no problem for me to guide you."

"Yes, I'll trouble you then, father." Ling chuckled and stood up slowly. "It's about time now, so I'll go to the clan school to pick up Quannai."

"Well, is there anything you'd like to eat tonight? I should be able to finish my clan affairs early today."

"Just follow my father's arrangements," Ling chuckled, "but it's hard to find edible vegetarian dishes when practicing, so I want to eat something light and refreshing."

"This is really an easy request to fulfill..." Uchiha Tajima also stood up, his expression gentle, but his words were slightly teasing, "I thought Ling would order some dishes that are more suitable for drinking, and then buy me a drink."

Ling Dong paused and coughed a few times, "If you want me to have a drink with you, it's not impossible..."

But Uchiha Tajima just raised his hand and tapped Ling's forehead gently. "It's okay in the past, but you are not allowed to drink alcohol outside from now on. You know, alcohol can paralyze people's nerves. For a ninja, paralysis of perception is fatal, and for you now, paralyzing your perception is no different from committing suicide."

Ling raised his hand and touched the back of his neck a little embarrassedly, "Yes, I will pay attention next time."

"Well, you are not a child anymore. If you want to drink in the future, you can drink in the clan or go to the clan's civilian market. But you are not allowed to drink too much or drink alcohol with too high a concentration. After all, in terms of your alcohol tolerance, you are still too immature."

Uchiha Tajima patted his eldest son's shoulder and said, "Also, next time when you take Izuna to buy hishi cakes, remember to bring them back for him to eat after dinner. He is still growing, and no matter how delicious the dessert is, it cannot interfere with the main meal.

Also, when you go to buy dessert today, remember to bring me some red bean yokan. If you want to drink anything, you can buy it in my name. Okay, that's it. Go ahead."

Listening to Uchiha Tajima's receding footsteps, Ling raised his hand and rubbed his nose, "I thought I had concealed it well... I guess I should be more restrained when I violate the rules next time."
