Chapter 450: Madara: ...You wish.

Uchiha Hikaru, who had asked for trouble, wisely changed the topic and stopped talking about Ling with Madara, and instead talked about strength.

"By the way, Madara is about to open his eyes, right?" Uchiha Hikaru stretched out his finger and tapped his chin lightly, "I can feel that Madara's pupil power is very active."

"I've already opened it."

"As expected, don't worry, it will be soon...eh?" Uchiha Hikaru tilted his head, "It's already open?"

Madara sighed softly, closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them. Two magatama slowly rotated in each of his scarlet eyes. "Look, I opened them during the last battle when I notified the truce a few days ago. But I don't like to use them. I feel dizzy when I look at things."

Uchiha Hikaru held his chin up, "Ah, I heard from Mr. Hong that increasing pupil power too much in a short period of time will distort vision and cause distorted imaging... I was like this before, and I got used to it after practicing with others a few more times. It is very useful to be able to see the flow of chakra and muscle status."

Spot nodded and put away the Sharingan. "Actually, I've gotten used to it a lot. When I first opened my eyes, I could see things distorted even without using them. Before I can use them freely, I probably won't be sent to the battlefield for large-scale missions. My father also said that when I can use the Three Magatama Sharingan freely, he will let me succeed as the clan leader. What about you? How are you doing?"

"That's all. You know my situation well enough. I'll just get by." Uchiha Hikaru shrugged indifferently, and then sighed, "It's all Master's fault that he insisted on going out at the right time. I wanted to attend Sister Haiming's wedding... Damn Master, do you have to rush for one or two days?"

Madara thought about how his brother and Uchiha Kaiming got along, and felt that it would be better for the two not to meet. However, he couldn't join in complaining about his brother, so he could only change the subject, "Izuna was upset for a long time after knowing that my brother and I were leaving so soon. If it weren't for our father taking us away in the end, saying that he wanted to take us to experience while the battle was not intense, my brother would probably have agreed to take him with him."

Hearing this, Uchiha Guang glanced at Madara's cold face and sighed again, "Who made Koizumi so cute? If it were you, this would definitely not work."

"Yes, Izuna is indeed very cute," Madara nodded seriously, worry unconsciously showing in his eyes, "but he likes to act like a spoiled child too much in front of us. Boys should be tougher. He is just like his brother, with a very soft temper."

Uchiha Hikaru recalled Izuna's execution ability and curled his lips, "I really don't understand you guys who are obsessed with your younger brother... Speaking of which, after this incident happened here, didn't the clan leader urge you to get married? I remember the clan leader had a very bad expression before."

"Father..." Ban looked away with a guilty look, "He is worried about other things now. He won't think of urging me to get married in the short term, right?"

"Other, what?"

"Well... I'm looking for new guards for me."

Uchiha Hikaru blinked, "Why? Aren't the current guard-nin strong enough?"

"No, it's something else... How should I put it? Something that's not convenient for them to know."

Seeing Madara trying to change the subject, Uchiha Hikaru suddenly realized something and lowered his voice to ask, "Has your secret dealings with a foreign race been exposed?"

Ban's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Uchiha Hikaru in surprise, also lowering his voice, "How did you know? Brother even told you this?!"

Uchiha Hikaru immediately showed the same surprise, "Did you know that the master was following you!?"

The two looked at each other for a long time before they came back to their senses. Ban frowned, with a look of self-blame and joy on his face, "It turns out that my brother has been paying attention to me... He is always busy."

"...You didn't feel anything was wrong?"

"It's really not right," Madara sighed, "He has all the time to follow me but he doesn't even want to rest... I really have to find a way to lock my brother up and force him to rest."

Uchiha Hikaru: …:)

What else could she say? She didn't want to repeat the words "no hope".

"Oh, you two get along really well."

"Onii-sama," Madara turned around, "we were talking about you - since you can spare time to follow me, why don't you take a good rest?!"

"Ah, that can be considered a break..." Ling walked around behind Madara, put his hands over his shoulders and rested his chin on his brother's head, "But it was really dangerous last time. Yatagarasu told me that there were powerful people following Hashirama, but I was on the battlefield. I was worried to death."

"Eh? Is Yata here?" Madara did not resist his brother's attention, nor did he intend to hold him accountable for following him. "It shouldn't be like that. I can sense it very well when I'm at home, right?"

"Use sealing techniques to isolate the aura, and then use more advanced pupil power to cover it, and there will be no problem—" Uchiha Hikaru curled his lips, "And as long as they don't look at you on purpose, or have bad intentions towards you, you won't be able to find it at all."

"Hearing what you said... Did my brother take you with him when he followed me?"

Ling used the stick to estimate his brother's height and said, "Yeah, except for the first time when she was not very skilled and you were suspicious and almost found her, Xiaoguang did very well afterwards. Xiaoguang doesn't want to fight with me now, so why don't you let her be your guard ninja? With her current strength, I can still trust her to be your insurance."

"I don't have any objection, but my father..."

"Ah, if you agree, I'll go talk to father," Ling said in his heart, feeling that his brother was growing up so fast, "It just so happens that I'm going to go see him after I finish my work here."

Spot nodded and looked at Uchiha Hikaru, "What about you?"

Uchiha Hikaru was stunned, "Do I have the right to refuse?"

Madara looked at her strangely, "Of course - it's not like you can't think for yourself."

Uchiha Hikaru couldn't help but look at Ling, only to see him just standing behind Madara, smiling encouragingly at him without saying anything. After a brief thought, he looked at Madara seriously, "Well, it's not impossible if you beg me."

Madara: ...You wish.
