Chapter 509: The attitude of the two tribes

Just as Uchiha Hikaru expected, Uchiha Eido did not choose to shut up because of Senju Baimo's indifference. After a brief period of depression, he harassed Senju Baimo even more tirelessly. In the end, he simply tried to remove the simple seal that Senju Baimo had put on his own mouth, and achieved his wish after dozens of attempts.

Now Senju Baimo finally couldn't convince himself to continue treating people as air. He looked at Uchiha Yingji angrily and speechlessly, "What the hell do you want to do?"

Uchiha Yingji still had a playful smile on his face. "Don't be so fierce. We have known each other for such a long time. Is it appropriate for you to be so cold to me? Want to chat for a while?"

Qianshou Baimo looked strange, "...are you looking for trouble?"

"I don't have that kind of weird fetish, but you are a Senju who was abused by Ling Jun, otherwise you wouldn't have forced yourself to tolerate me until now--" Uchiha Yingji smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Anyway, we may still be able to work together in the future, so how about a little colleague love?"

Qianshou Baimo narrowed his eyes and spoke after a long silence, "What do you want to ask?"

"What is your Senju clan's attitude towards the alliance?" Uchiha Yingji still had a smile on his face, but his tone became cold. "After all, in this matter, your clan has always been in a passive position, right?"

"Heh, as if your family will change if we make our dissatisfaction clear—" Qianshou Baimo said with sarcasm, "Especially that blind man, do you think he has a conscience or a sense of guilt? He is just a hypocrite who hides himself very well in front of you."

"A gentleman is judged by deeds, not by heart. And if you tell me clearly, I can make a final decision on my attitude. After all, while Ling Jun is trying to promote an alliance, Yashu Jun still deeply hates Qianshou."

"What? Are you, a bunch of well-trained lackeys, going to disobey your master's orders just because you are dissatisfied?" Qianshou Baimo sneered, "And with your strength, what do you think you can do to Qianshou?"

"Well, you are right. We will not disobey Ling Jun's orders--" Uchiha Yingsi still had that smiling look on his face, "but Ling Jun will not ignore our demands. Although I can't help much with my strength, I still have influence within the clan.

What kind of conflict do you think will happen before the union, which should be a smooth process, is achieved when most of us are against it? How many people do you care about? Oh, don't look at me with such a scary expression. I'm just explaining a fact to you... So, do you want to answer me properly?"

"…I only found out about the Senju's alliance with the Uchiha before I set out. I was chosen by the clan only because I didn't have the aversion to the Uchiha as Shelin and Shigeki did. Especially when I learned that the high-level officials of both sides sent the message through Tobirama, this unreal but believable feeling reached its peak."

"Eh - that is to say, when your family's top leaders started to maintain a deal with us, you middle-level or grassroots clansmen were not notified, right?"

Senju Baimo nodded slightly, "Rather, I've always been curious about what that blind man was thinking all day long to do something like promoting the alliance between Senju and Uchiha, which made both clans feel like they had a brain hemorrhage. What is your attitude?"

"We are all unanimous in feeling the cerebral hemorrhage. As for our attitude..." Uchiha Yingji's smile faded a little, "Well, it's better than yours. Except for those of us who are close to Ling and the senior members of our family, the ordinary clan members' understanding of this matter is probably at the stage of rumors where they have only heard of it but not seen it.

What's so good about you thick-skinned Senju and those mysterious Uzumaki? Why did Ling Jun have to choose you to form an alliance? Is it that the Nara family is not smart enough, or the swords of the Hatake family are not sharp enough? Why did he have to choose you two families, which are so hard to chew?"

"...Very good. I want to ask this question too. When you go back, remember to ask the blind man. The next time we meet outside the alliance, you can use the answer to save your life."

Uchiha Yingji's expression twisted, "Okay, okay, you guys are determined to bully a delicate flower like me, right? Just wait, I will get back at Cheng Jun."

"Heh - you are so ashamed to say that. A dignified Uchiha with three magatama can only fight with a noob like Makoto when facing a Senju of the same age. The only thing you can do at other times is to run away."

"How do you think I got these three magatama?! I used to hang out with Ling Jun when I was a kid, and was scared out of my wits by your great ninja! Do you really think that every Uchiha with three magatama is a master of combat?! There are many who are worse than me!"

"Tsk - how dare you say that? Only your generation's three magatama skills are uneven, right?" Senju Baimo showed a mocking expression, "I haven't heard any elder in the clan dare to say that he can scare people away by facing Uchiha's three magatama."

Uchiha Yingji frowned and remained silent.

Seeing this annoying chatterbox shut up, Senju Baimo also started to hurry on his way. After arriving at the mission location, he took out the scroll and compared it repeatedly. After muttering a few words, he frowned and took out the chakra ink that had been mixed long ago. He said, "I'm going to repair the seal. You go where you want to be. Don't be around me and distract me. God knows what kind of annoying counterattack effect Uzumaki has set up for this seal."

Uchiha Yingji snorted and took a few steps back, but a scarlet look appeared in his eyes. He watched carefully as the chakra spread along the seal, carefully noting the changes at each node.

And Senju Baimo just allowed him to learn from him openly - the Uzumaki clan never deliberately hid their own sealing techniques, and the Uchiha clan had tried more than once to use the Sharingan's records to steal skills, but in the end, except for a few conventional sealing techniques that the Uzumaki clan particularly liked to use in battle - such as the Fire Sealing Seal [Seal fire attribute ninjutsu], the Contract Seal [Isolate the opponent's connection with the summoned beast], and the Limb Heavy Seal [Drain the opponent's strength] - the Uchiha clan failed to learn even one more Uzumaki sealing technique.

What? You mean the Diamond Seal? Come on, the Senju have such a close relationship with the Uzumaki clan, how can the Uchiha clan learn the technique that they couldn't learn even after being taught by hand? If that were the case, the Uzumaki clan would no longer have the title of "The First Sealing Clan in the Ninja World" and would just give it all to the Uchiha clan.

All in all, Senju Baimo and Uchiha Yingji were both busy with their own things, and they felt that the other party was tactful and did not influence their own behavior.

Just watching, Uchiha Yingji frowned, "Hey, is this seal formation you repaired linked?"

"Well, together with the other four seals, it forms a sealing formation," Qianshou Baimo continued to work without raising his head, "It will absorb the power of the wind, and then construct a barrier to block tsunamis during the rainy season."

Uchiha Yingji stared at the node that was twisted into a ball in his vision, and took a few steps back with a little uneasiness, "Are you sure you can fix it?"

"Nonsense, if I can't do it, how can I expect you to? And no matter how much I consider the candidates, I still have to put the mission first!"

"But I always feel like something isn't—ugh!"

Hearing the sound of heavy objects falling beside him, Senju Baimo finally raised his head. However, when he saw Uchiha Yingji lying on the ground, he couldn't help but reveal a confused expression, "What are you trying to do? Hey?"

Seeing that the man was still motionless, Senju Baimo somewhat helplessly paused the repair of the sealing technique, intending to see what this Uchiha rookie Three Magatama was trying to do.

However, just when he stopped repairing according to the repair procedures recorded in the scroll, countless fine black runes entangled him, wrapping him up in front of Qianshou Baimo's terrified and helpless eyes...
