Chapter 45 Uchiha Yugu's Invitation

Uchiha Akihiko finally left with a lot of anger, and Ling, who was left behind by him, stood there in a daze for a while, then smiled, shrugged and walked back.

After dinner, Ling also thought seriously about the opening of the Mangekyō Sharingan, but due to insufficient information, he repeatedly calculated using the three-magatama Sharingan as an example, and could only conclude that the opening of the eye might be related to one's own emotional changes.

[The essence is that the more extreme, the more powerful, and the more powerful, the more extreme...] Ling sat back on the quilt, looking slightly distressed, [It's such a troubled power that I can't help but want to pursue...

According to Akihiko's description, the records on the stone tablet regarding the Magatama Sharingan are exactly the same as what I saw at the beginning, which is normal. However, the records on the Mangekyo are too weird. They actually encourage us to kill each other... Could it be that the ancient grammar is different from that of today, leading to the misinterpretation?

It's really disturbing. It seems that I need to find time and people to go back to the place where the clan volumes are stored to look through them and see if there are any earlier clan volumes left to support the evidence...]

Ling thought a lot, but in the end he could only temporarily suppress the suspicion in his heart and wait for Uchiha Akihiko to bring more detailed information.

But before he could get more detailed information about the Mangekyō Sharingan, Ling received an invitation from Uchiha Yugu to join the team.

"You want me to be the guard of the supply team?" Ling tilted his head and stopped swinging his sword. "Are you starting to take over the logistics?"

"Well, it's just a small supply run. If everything goes well this time, we'll gradually take over everything. Do you have time?"

"Yes, that's fine with me," Ling nodded in agreement, "but if we need to find a sensory ninja to accompany the team, Hong, who is a medical ninja, would be more suitable than me... Well, after all, I'm in this state now - is it really okay?"

"I asked that guy, he said he had to practice chakra nature transformation and couldn't leave, so he asked me to come find you and told me that you can go on missions again."

"Is that so... That's no problem. When do we leave?"

"The day after tomorrow, bring your own supplies and gather at my doorstep." Uchiha Yugu looked around and took out a sealing scroll. "I brought you the additional bird food you asked for last time - but the two crows couldn't finish the bird food before it went bad. Did they bring back the crow as a companion, so you asked for more bird food?"

"No, actually I thought it tasted pretty good, so I wanted to have it as a snack... and Izuna seemed to like it too."

"...Can't you just go buy some nuts?"

"Don't you still have to shell the birds yourself?" Ling tilted his head. "Besides, you also added flour and other things to the bird food, which can also supplement the staple food in small amounts. Isn't this much better than the soldier's ration pills?"

Uchiha Yugu opened his mouth several times but in the end, he couldn't say anything. He just repeated the gathering time the day after tomorrow and then said goodbye and left.

After Uchiha Yugu left, Ling also summoned Sanzu and went to find Uchiha Hiroshi and Uchiha Akihiko respectively, saying that he had to go on a mission and the appointment would need to be postponed for a few days.

Uchiha Hong didn't have any objection. After all, it was he who asked Uchiha Yugu to find Ling, so he just gave Ling another physical examination, and after confirming that his injuries were healed, he let him go back to where he came from.

But Uchiha Akihiko was in big trouble. He didn't dare - or didn't want to believe - that Ling had recovered from his injuries faster than him and was already planning to go on a mission. He said with a dark face, "I know," and kicked the man out of the house.

His decisive action made Ling wonder for a long time why he was blasted out.

However, he soon stopped thinking about these things, and after discussing his plans with his family, he seriously considered the tasks for the day after tomorrow, and arrived at the meeting place on time early the next morning.

This supply is not the large-scale supply that supplies the entire clan in the past, but a small supply that will not affect the operation of the clan. This is also the best time for the clan to establish a new trading route.

However, the essence of this supply mission is still the test of the power transfer between the old and new generations of the Uchiha clan - after confirming that the younger generation can stabilize the situation, these ninjas whose bodies have begun to decline will go to the battlefields where the fighting is most intense and exert their last remaining energy.

Since it is a test, there are naturally other members of the clan who are taking it at the same time besides Uchiha Yugu.

The test will examine many aspects including the time and money spent on supplies, team casualties, and the quality of supplies. After repeated testing, the best candidate will be selected to serve as the chief logistics officer.

Uchiha Yugu himself was not good at fighting, nor did he have any intention of fighting for power. All he wanted was to quickly get people to complete the mission and then go back to tinker with the summoning beasts - and for this reason, when his peers in the team discussed whether or not to let Ling be the captain, he gave up without a care in the world.

But Ling was helpless about this. After all, he didn't plan to transfer to logistics. So when Uchiha Yugu was about to become a hands-off boss, he seriously explained the pros and cons and said that he would obey orders - unless it involved fighting.

Uchiha Yugu reluctantly agreed and took out the prepared sealing scrolls to distribute to everyone. "The target of our mission this time is the Nara clan, a ninja clan living on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Tea. Our goal is to establish long-term trade relations with them and obtain medicine supplies from them...Do you have anything to say?"

"The Nara clan? I haven't heard much about them..." The boy with curly hair crossed his arms, "They shouldn't be a ninja clan that often goes to war, right?"

The girl standing next to him nodded slightly. "Yes, their clan mainly makes a living by growing drugs, selling intelligence, and assassinating. They don't participate in the frontal battlefield very often. Sometimes when they encounter conflicts due to missions, they will mostly retreat. They can be considered a peaceful ninja clan."

The boy turned his head again, "Hey, brother, is that so?"

Uchiha Yuugu looked up and glanced at the boy when he heard this, "Yes, that's right, the Nara clan is a peaceful ninja clan."

Seeing this, the boy reached out and poked the girl, "Hey, Lin, tell me more about the Nara clan?"

Uchiha Lin frowned impatiently when she heard this, "That's all I know, go ask Ling."

"So cold..." the boy muttered, but still turned to Ling's direction honestly, "Hey, Brother Ling, tell me something?"

"Well, the Nara clan..." Ling stroked his chin, with a smile on his face, "I met ninjas from the Nara clan when I was on a mission before. How should I put it? They are a somewhat lazy family."

The boy wanted to ask more, but Uchiha Yugu spoke first, "Uchiha Mori, tie up the scroll for me, and if you are that curious, read more books instead of pestering others with questions every time you go on a mission."

Uchiha Mori stuck out his tongue obscurely when he heard that, but he was not afraid of Uchiha Yugu's cold face at all, "I don't want to, reading is so hypnotic, a ninja must stay awake at all times!"
