Chapter 456: Finally Seeing the Eight Tails

"Alas... Xiaoyou, I originally wanted to solve my own problems and broaden Madara's horizons this time, why did you leave Madara behind?" Ling finally pulled away the tail that was covering his mouth and nose, now with a distressed look on his face, "Besides, if you want to leave him, then leave him, but why did you leave Xiaoguang with him? That child hasn't completely opened his heart to me, and the trust between us hasn't been established to the point where I can entrust someone important to him. You're making me very worried."

"Huh? Didn't you already entrust your brother to him?"

"That was just a pretext for me to let Xiaoguang be accepted back into the clan. Since the matter of the two children has been discovered by both clans, it means that it won't last long. Let Xiaoguang stay with Madara for a while, at least she won't be criticized by the younger generations in the clan. But leaving her there alone now... If she has any intention of planting a dojutsu on Madara, it will not end well."

Ling sighed, "After all, the child's pupil technique is difficult to deal with, and his heart is very defensive - this means that even if I have doubts in the end, I can't show too obvious distrust before I catch solid evidence... Although there are still some shortcomings in various aspects, the child is a kaleidoscope after all, and it will never go wrong to carefully influence and trend him."

Youlv lowered his head, "...I'm surprised you didn't show any malicious intent when you thought about this."

"Methods that reveal malicious intent will only alert the target. I won't do such useless work." Ling tilted his head, looking puzzled. "Not to mention that I never wanted to harm her from the beginning to the end. Where did the malicious intent come from?"

The cat lay down again, speechless, "Really, you are saying terrible things seriously again."

"That's why I told you to stay away from the descendants of those two bastards... who knows when they will act crazy and show you."

Youlu lowered his head to look at Sanwei, "I didn't think that a blind kid could use the Mangekyo. By the time he showed signs, he would have mastered the Mangekyo. I might as well stay here for a few more decades."

"That's right. Otherwise, you might end up with everyone else suffering from restlessness."

Ling: ...If you keep saying that to my face, I'll be sad.

Fortunately, Youlu and Sanwei didn't dwell on this topic for too long and soon changed the subject to another direction. Sanwei was very unhappy that Youlu kept asking him to recall where he had slept. He said that he was not so idle as to write down all the places where he had slept, and complained that Youlu was too close to humans, which was not good.

Youlu blocked Sanwei's attack with a word of meddling in other people's business.

Then the Three-Tails fell silent, but the chakra that spread to Ling gave people a feeling of restlessness and irritability, and it was obvious that he had begun to sulk.

Ling didn't think that now was a good time to interrupt, so he moved his body and leaned towards Youlu, then folded his hands under his chest and lay in the soft hair in a very peaceful posture.

But after his thoughts calmed down, he subconsciously sensed the natural energy, and then felt an even stronger emotion of disgust coming from the other side.

[Strange, I shouldn't have done anything... Is it the difference between the deep sea and the land? Or am I too eager for fairy arts recently and it backfired? ]

Ling frowned slightly. [By the way, has the Living Slug Sage ever felt the emotions of natural chakra? Should I channel her? Sure enough, I can't accept soft-bodied animals, especially when they cling to my neck and shoulders. But if I can't get anything from the Eight-Tails today, there's no other way...]

Youlu looked at Ling, who was lying peacefully at first, and then suddenly buried his face in his stomach and pretended to be dead after his expression twisted for a moment. He couldn't help but poke the back of his head with the tip of his tail, "Boy, we're here - long time no see, Yabi."

"It's been a long time since I last saw him in person. Is this the human you chose this time? Hmm... He's more difficult to deal with than I thought."

Hearing the voice, Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, sat up straight and greeted the Eight-Tails - before the Eight-Tails spoke, he had not felt the Eight-Tails' chakra.

[Using the method that Matatabi once said to identify the chakra of the tailed beast, the chakra of the Eight-Tails is about 200 times that of Matatabi. With such a huge amount of chakra and such a close distance, I, as a perception ninja, was unable to detect the slightest fluctuation... The tailed beast is very good at controlling chakra, so I have to be more cautious.]

While Ling was pondering how to face the Eight-Tails, the Eight-Tails was also observing Ling. He could say that he was prejudiced against Indra who had tortured the tailed beasts to death, or that he held a grudge against the Uchiha ancestors - anyway, he didn't think that an Uchiha would be easy to get along with when his ancestors had such a bad temper. If he felt that the Uchiha was easy to get along with, it only meant that this Uchiha was more difficult to deal with.

Looking at the man and the beast who had fallen silent after greeting each other, Yulu finally couldn't help but speak to break the silence, "You two also have encrypted calls?"

"Sorry, I was thinking about something for a while, and I was a little obsessed..." Ling raised his hand and touched Mata's fur, chuckling, "Then I'll get straight to the point. I heard from Mata that the Eight-Tails is a tailed beast that has mastered fairy arts. I've recently hit a bottleneck in fairy arts, so I wanted to ask for advice."

The Eight-Tails raised a hand and touched his chin. "Tell me about it, but the structure of the tailed beasts and humans is different. All I can say is my experience. And I only have a very superficial grasp of it, not a profound one. If you really want to talk about how to use it, you should ask the Nine-Tails."

"That's enough. I'm grateful for your guidance." Ling sat upright, facing the direction of the Eight-Tailed Fox. "I want to know, when the Eight-Tailed Fox was practicing immortal arts, did he ever sense the natural energy conveying emotions to you?"
