Chapter 49: The Two Clans after the Transaction

The transaction with the Nara clan was completed quickly, and Senju Ming and Uchiha Mori, who had been swearing at each other for half an hour, finally shut up - not because they had no words to say, but because they really had nothing more to say.

Without much courtesy, both parties sincerely wished each other a quick death and then left in opposite directions.

After the Uchiha group was out of sight, Senju Ming took out a bamboo tube of water and took a gulp, "Damn it, that guy is quite talkative, it makes me so tired - humph, among their group, only that blind guy is pleasing to the eye..."

"I say, sister, don't let your brain stop growing just because your body can't keep up," Senju Shigeki sighed, "He's the most difficult one among the Uchiha - have you forgotten about Uchiha Ling that the clan emphasized a few days ago?"

Senju Ming stroked his chin and dug into his memory carefully. "Oh, I know, he is the leader of this generation of Uchiha - but is he really that dangerous? By the way, how come you are so familiar with him, Chongxing?"

"I almost died at his hands twice, how could I not be familiar with him?" Qianshou Zhongxing's mouth twitched slightly, "Aren't you curious about who broke my ribs last time? It was that guy who did it."

Qian Shou Ming's eyes suddenly widened, "Then why didn't you just kill him just now!?"

"That's why I said I don't want to fight that guy! If it were anyone else today, I would definitely fight him!"

“You’re actually afraid of Uchiha?!” Senju Ming’s voice rose again, and he jumped up and hit Senju Chongxing hard on the back of the head, “How shameful! Don’t call him my brother anymore!”

"Would I be afraid of him?!" Qianshou Zhongxing covered the back of his head and raised his voice, "I'm just afraid that he will attack you first before attacking me after the battle starts! I had my ribs cut by a single blow, so why don't you just cut me in half with your small body?!"

"Huh? How do you, a little brother, talk to your sister?!"

"Who wants to be your brother?! You finally got a quiet-looking guy but he turned out to be so violent! Just wait till you can't get married!"

"Isn't it because you stole too much nutrition in your mother's womb?! Otherwise, how could I grow so slowly and still be called a dwarf by those Uchiha bastards?!"

Senju Ma, who was walking behind with the Sealing Scroll on his back, watched the two people quarreling and the topic gradually went off track. He felt helpless. After a light sigh, he turned his head and looked at the person beside him who had remained silent. "Jin, are any of the Uchiha following?"

"Although I can still sense the spying, they have no intention of following me," Qian Shou Jin said calmly, his eyes slightly slanted, "Are they looking for a chance to ambush them? I can take the initiative."

"No, we have to retreat as soon as possible. The herbs we bought this time are urgently needed by the tribe, and we can't make any mistakes." Qianshou Ma frowned slightly, "Ming, Chongxing, stop arguing, and hurry back to the tribe."

Hearing Qianshou Ma's voice, the two people who were arguing fiercely immediately stopped talking. Qianshou Ming took another sip of water and muttered softly, "It's full speed again, how annoying."

Qianshou Zhongxing sighed, changed his pace and walked to the other side of Qianshou Ma, "Stop complaining, finish the task quickly and find a temple to pray."

"What?"

"Of course it's to get rid of bad luck. Isn't it bad enough to run into an Uchiha while on a transport mission?"

"That's really unlucky..."

While Senju chose to speed up his return journey, the Uchiha on the other side also had their own conversation.

"How is it, Yugu, did the transaction go smoothly?"

Uchiha Yugu nodded slightly at Ling after hearing this, "It went very smoothly. The Nara clan gave us a lot of benefits. This time we have to thank those troublemakers of the Senju clan."

"Indeed, I don't know what's going on lately," Ling chuckled, "Every time I meet Qianshou, good things happen..."

"Every time recently?" Uchiha Mori tilted his head, "Brother Ling, have you encountered Senju many times recently?"

"Yeah, I don't know why recently, even though I'm not on the battlefield, I still have a connection with the Thousand Hands - oh my, they actually chose to leave..." Ling turned his head to look in the direction where the Thousand Hands left, "It really is quite important supplies."

"Are we going to attack?" Uchiha Lin stroked the hilt of the knife, "It should be able to cause quite a bit of trouble."

Uchiha Mori also perked up after hearing that. "Go? Go! Kill all those guys! And bring their heads as souvenirs! Especially that foul-mouthed dwarf, I can't wait!"

"No, we still can't. The Thousand Hands have already left the town and are heading for the forest. They will probably be in the forest when we catch up with them," Ling shook his head. "It's unwise to fight a battle with the Thousand Hands in the forest. Besides, the two tribes don't have any battle missions right now, so let's avoid them this time."

"It's okay with me," Uchiha Yugu said, "The materials we traded this time can also be brought back little by little by the Ninja Crows, and the mission will not be affected."

Uchiha Mori, who was originally excited, suddenly froze.

Ling frowned slightly, "Well...if everyone thinks so--"

"No, after thinking it over, let's not fight." Uchiha Mori interrupted Ling and snatched the seal scroll from Uchiha Yugu's back. "After all, my brother is a loser. He will be a drag if we fight. Let's not fight."

Uchiha Yugu staggered and nearly fell down: ...

Uchiha Lin frowned, "Yugu himself didn't agree--"

Uchiha Mori immediately looked at Lin, "But don't you still have to bring souvenirs back to Xiaofu? If Xiaofu sees the wound, you won't be able to explain it, right?"

Hearing Uchiha Mori mention his sister, Uchiha Lin was silent for a moment, and finally withdrew her hand from her weapon. "Indeed, returning with injuries might scare Xiaofu... but isn't it too easy for them to let the Thousand Hands go?"

"What do you mean by letting them go? Brother Ling also wants to avoid this fight, right? Brother Ling? Ouch! Brother, let go of my ears! They're going to fall off!"

Listening to Uchiha Mori's strange cry, Ling nodded with a smile, "Indeed, this battle does not benefit us at all. I don't really want to fight a battle that has no benefits and may cause major conflicts."

"Ah? Isn't that right?" Uchiha Mori and Uchiha Yugu held hands and looked sideways at Ling, "I can understand that there is no benefit. After all, if they find that they can't win, they will definitely not keep anything to help the enemy.

But the large-scale conflict... We have been fighting the Thousand Hands for a long time. They don't need to start a large-scale war with us just because a transport team died, right?"

"Haha... The big conflict I'm talking about isn't them, but the alliance formed by the Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans." Ling chuckled and tilted his head to face the trees on one side. "Don't ignore the strength of others just because you're strong. You'll learn a lesson."

After Ling finished speaking, the sparrow that had been squatting on the tree grooming its feathers finally flapped its wings and flew away. At the same time, in a dark room not far away, a middle-aged man with blond hair opened his eyes and looked at the calm Nara Shikawa beside him with a complicated expression, "Like you said, that blind boy is indeed an abnormal Uchiha."
