Chapter 446: Papa Tajima is worried about his son's XP

At the same time as Ling received the news, Madara also organized all his thoughts and wrote a letter home. He attached a stone with the word "escape" engraved on it and sent it to Uchiha Tajima on the battlefield through the summoning beast. He successfully silenced his father who was in a rare relaxed mood because the battle was going well.

It’s just that as we all know, a smile doesn’t go away – it just shifts.

Uchiha Keizhi, who was not shy about peeking at the letter from his family head, smiled wickedly, "Pfft! You pushed Madara boy to Ling boy for convenience before, look, look, you finally made him into a fellow man, right?"

Uchiha Tajima raised his hand and pinched his forehead, "It's still acceptable. At least it's better than Ling's silent personality when he gets into trouble... No, I just can't figure it out, what are the advantages of Senju and Uzumaki other than their strength? Why are these guys of mine determined to get close to them?"

Uchiha Qizhi laughed for a while, "What do you mean, you want me to be Madara's guardian ninja?"

"Although I am worried, it would be a waste of your talent if I asked you to go," Uchiha Tajima sighed, "but I can't find anyone else who can take on this task right away... just in case, let's transfer this kid back to the battlefield."

Uchiha Keizhi shrugged nonchalantly, "Compared to this... is it really okay?"

"Ok?"

"Although Ling still didn't say anything, what he did was obviously intended to split the clan—" Uchiha Qizhi's smile faded a little, and he crossed his arms. "To be honest, I trust Ling's ability, but this time, I don't agree with him. The clan has been gradually weakening over the years. If we can't stay united, the name of Uchiha will probably no longer be seen in this ninja world soon."

Uchiha Tiandao's headache became more and more serious. "I understand... After this war is over, I will let Ling Xiang give a good explanation to the clan."

Uchiha Qizhi nodded. He was just reminding his clan leader and good friend out of duty to prevent him from being overly biased. "Oh, there is one more thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Didn't Ling have an apprentice? I heard from the tribesmen that his apprentice called the tailed beast "Master's Wife" - are you so open-minded?"

"...?!"

Uchiha Qizhi's expression gradually became horrified, "...No, you just found out about this too?"

Uchiha Tajima put down his hands expressionlessly, supported himself on the table and stood up, "... Ling is back, right? I'll go talk to him."

Looking at Uchiha Tajima's angry back, Uchiha Qizhi couldn't help but click his tongue - Ling, that kid, can really hide things as long as no one asks. Since Uchiha Tajima became the clan leader, it has been a long time since he saw this old man so angry that his face was expressionless. Hey, interesting!

"Ah, young people are really brave! After all, I am old——"

Uchiha Qizhi stretched himself, then unintentionally opened the door curtain and walked out, secretly following Uchiha Tajima - what a joke, it's a rare opportunity to have fun during leisure time, how could he be missing.

When Uchiha Tajima held his breath and found his eldest son, he saw Ling squatting on the top of the tent, holding a dried fish and trying to coax Youlu from the other side to come over.

Looking more closely, there were many scratches on the cuffs of Ling's clothes, and two bloodstains on his face. How could he look as neat as usual?

Uchiha Tajima took a deep breath and said, "Ling, I think we need to talk."

"Father?" Ling stopped and tilted his head slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he finally jumped down from the top of the tent. "Is there any urgent mission? I can set off at any time."

"No, it's about you and your [Spiritual Beast]."

Hearing Uchiha Tajima mention him, Matata who was squatting on a high place in the tent sneered, "It's time to have a good talk."

"Xiaoyou..." Ling turned back helplessly, but he understood his father's intention and shrugged calmly, "That's true - but as you can see, the progress is not very smooth."

Uchiha Tajima's mouth twitched, and the muscles in his cheeks kept tensing and relaxing. Finally, he took a deep breath and tried his best to keep his voice calm. "Ling, you have to know that the foundation of the clan is people. No one can stop you from doing what you love. But the current era cannot tolerate your willfulness. Even if it is not for marriage, you should at least find a woman who loves you and leave offspring."

"To be honest, I have also thought about the issue of offspring. After all, my situation is a bit special..." Ling raised his hand and touched his chin, "I plan to try the method of my ancestors first. If it goes well, I will have my own bloodline offspring.

And doing so can avoid the time period when children are most likely to die, and better train them - but you must be careful to screen the children's backgrounds, and make sure to find little ones who are still young and whose parents are no longer around. Otherwise, if they come to you later, it will be a hassle even if you can deal with it. "

"You can have offspring without getting married? That's the way our ancestors did it?" Uchiha Tajima frowned. Even though he knew his son had always been a man who never lied, he still suspected he was being fooled. "I haven't heard anyone in the clan mention this."

"The first time I heard this was from Xiaoyou, and later I asked Akihiko and Masaki to help me find information to verify it," Ling also knew that this matter was somewhat unbelievable, "Even if you didn't mention it to me today, I also planned to use the conflict of the war to search for a few suitable children - after all, no matter how restrained the two ninja clans are, they will inevitably affect civilians when they plot against each other.

If the children I find are willing, I will give it a try. If not, I can send them to a nearby town without much effort, and it can also help improve the reputation of the clan. Of course, if they want to be taken in by me, I will not be short of a few mouthfuls of food to raise them and work for the clan... So, please give me some more time to put it into practice."

After listening to it, Uchiha Tajima silently raised his head and looked at Youlv. When he saw that it did not refute anything, he knew that Ling was indeed not lying about this matter. He suddenly felt a toothache, "... Can't you reconsider it?"

"There's no need for that." Ling turned his head slightly and headed in the direction of Youlu. "I... have always known what I want. This life may end at any time. How can I leave time for regret?"
