Chapter 468: Uzumaki Yi's Commission

Ling did not allow himself any free time during the truce period, because of the special property of the Blood Dragon Eye that manipulates blood, and he had lost the Sharingan, so it was difficult for him to directly break the subconscious illusion and he was not allowed to go onto the battlefield.

Therefore, apart from being with his family during this period, he traveled back and forth between the various ninja clans around the battlefields of both sides to visit and appease them - although in reality, it would be more appropriate to call it deterrence.

However, in order to be able to remove the blood pool without any worries at the beginning of the next year, this is also necessary preliminary work.

However, this preliminary work had to be stopped when Ling received a letter from Xuanwo Yi near the beginning of the new year, intending to buy several blood pools with lives still left in them from him.

"Akihiko, are you sure that Yi wrote it this way?"

Uchiha Akihiko was obviously a little bit incredulous. He lowered his head and read the letter again and again. He looked particularly confused. "No, it's written like this... Is the Blood Pond trying to stir up the whirlpool again at the end of the year? Who gave them the courage?"

After a brief silence, Uchiha Hiro couldn't help but speak, "... Maybe it's like too many lice don't itch, too many debts don't worry, just hope that two negatives will make a positive."

Ling opened his mouth when he heard this, but he couldn't think of any other reason in the end, so he could only end the topic, "After the New Year, I will go there with the clan and ask Yi in person what he wants to do. The spells and items sent are still entrusted to Hong, and Zhaoyan will organize the information within the clan."

Uchiha Akihiko rolled up the scroll, his voice carrying a rare hint of sourness, "It's wonderful that you two have such a friendship."

"Yes, if you exchange it for your life, of course it's good," Ling nodded as a matter of course, "but it's a bit late for you to want one now."

"Tsk, I'm not envious." Uchiha Akihiko curled his lips, "By the way, I heard that your brother is going to try to lead an army to war, is it true?"

Ling was stunned at first, and then he spoke with some emotion, "Yes, really - Father wanted him to practice with the blood pool that was basically destroyed by us... Madara has unknowingly walked ahead of me, and is stronger than I was at that time."

"Walk in front of you?" Uchiha Hong sneered, "Come on, look at your mind that fooled your brother eight hundred times a day, how can you have the face to say such a thing?"

"Because of what Madara is facing now, I can't provide him with any experience." Ling spread his hands, "As the saying goes, the master is the one who is more experienced. After training, Madara will definitely be stronger than me who has zero experience. Of course, he will be ahead of me."

"Ahh, here it comes again. This bastard is mindlessly praising his brother again."

Uchiha Akihiko also sighed, "Yeah, it's really embarrassing - don't you know why you have zero experience?"

"Of course I know. I was already blind at Madara's age," Ling chuckled, "and I was seriously injured and recuperating at that time. Madara is indeed stronger than me - what I said is all true!"

Uchiha Hong's face twitched, "Uchiha Ling, you'd better get out of here before I kick you out because I can't stand you anymore. And you, get out of here before we start a quarrel."

Uchiha Akihiko tutted his words and glanced at Uchiha Hiroshi, "How long will you keep looking at me like this?"

"It's too early," Uchiha Hiro lazily looked at the scroll in his hand, "The eye has completely lost its vitality because it has been there for too long. I have to use my pupil power to awaken it while promoting the fusion. The progress can be slow, but it will take at least two or three months - what? You want to fight? I'm always here to accompany you."

"No, I just think your one-eyed appearance is too ugly to be seen."

"Huh?! Why didn't you say that your disfigured face could scare a child to tears?!"

"Heh, at least it's better than your one-eyed bandaged head."

"All! Give! Me! Get! Out--!"

Ling promptly pulled Uchiha Akihiko aside and left before the two of them started fighting, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart, "Sure enough, after discussing serious matters, we can't stay in the same room together... and every time the reasons are particularly childish.

Shouldn't this kind of childish behavior end with age? Why are they getting worse and worse? No, it should be said that Hong is getting worse and worse unilaterally... Sure enough, he still has some complaints about me scaring him back then? I have to find a way to divert his attention. 】

Uchiha Akihiko, who was pulled out by him, looked at his thoughtful expression and distanced himself cautiously. Before Ling could express his doubts to him, he said, "So, you will set off with the clan later?"

"Well, after all, although the Uzumaki clan is proficient in sealing and has so many sealed objects, they rarely study human corpses. I am a little curious about how the Blood Pool provoked the Uzumaki clan, so that Yi hoped to get the living Blood Pool through my convenience."

"Ha, from what you said, I'm afraid they're going to come up with some disgusting sealing technique again..."

"Yes," Ling sighed, "Although it's a bit narcissistic to say this, if Uzumaki really coveted the eye technique bloodline, he could have gone to the Thousand Hands to study our captured clansmen. With the Thousand Hands' methods, the captured clansmen would not be able to resist. In that case, wouldn't they be able to manipulate us at will? There's no need to go far away to find another group of psychopaths."

"...Really, sometimes what you say really shocks me, in many ways."

"...I don't understand what you want to say?"

"...No, nothing. I just suddenly realized that compared to your brother, your sense of morality is shockingly low."

"Haha, having too high a sense of morality will make your life very tiring... and for a profession like ninja, a sense of morality is the most useless thing."

Looking at Ling's mouth whose curve had not changed, Uchiha Akihiko turned his head away silently, […Perhaps it was a good thing that Ling didn't become the clan leader. ]
