Chapter 54 Suitable Mission

Looking at Ling's somewhat hearty smile, Uchiha Akihiko even suspected for a moment that there was a Senju or an Uzumaki sitting in front of him - but he quickly took this unreliable idea out of his mind and refocused his attention on the discussion of how to prevent more clansmen from suffering tragedy.

Ling spread the bamboo-carved books all over the table, and pointed at the cases on them with great interest, "Look at the middle of Volume 6. It records a method of opening the kaleidoscope eyes without causing casualties, and it is a pupil technique that is so powerful that it can affect time."

"Ah, yes, but it's obvious that you awakened this Mangekyō because you were too ashamed to face reality and wanted to go back to the past, right?" Uchiha Akihiko said with disgust, "And it's a bit too hasty to open your eyes just because your confession was rejected, isn't it? How many people would open their eyes just because their confession failed?"

"Then look at this, at the beginning of Volume 8, this senior also opened his eyes without any casualties, and his Kaleidoscope pupil technique is just as powerful, it can even erase all of his own aura."

Uchiha Akihiko glanced at him, his expression of disgust even stronger, "Ah, yes, after getting drunk he went to a red-light district to act crazy, and because of his strength he was not stopped, and when he sobered up the next day he found himself hanging upside down naked at a busy street corner... In this situation, everyone would want to disappear, right?"

"But it is undeniable that this method can open the eyes of the tribe members without any casualties. Moreover, reversing one's own time and completely hiding one's tracks are very suitable skills for ninjas." Ling's fingers slid, "And this one at the end of Volume 8, the eye technique that directly attacks the enemy's spirit body - isn't this amazing?"

"He attended a courage test just to save face, but was frightened by the festival staff and fainted, and then awakened his Kaleidoscope... Ling, the tribesmen are just getting stronger, there's no need for you to push them to the brink of death, right?"

"Eh - obviously, we finally found a few ways to open our eyes without causing any casualties." Ling shook his head with regret, "Isn't it just a little embarrassing? If I were to ask you, you are just too restrained and not frank enough. In this situation, as long as you are not embarrassed, others will naturally be embarrassed."

"Thank you for your advice, but I think they should still have someone they care about in this world," Uchiha Akihiko said expressionlessly, "If I really open my eyes in this way, I will probably find an opportunity to die on the battlefield in a few years - I won't be able to survive in the clan at all."

"But doesn't Akihiko think this is a good way to change the clan's image?" Ling sighed. "If the situation changes and the ninja clans need to unite, outsiders will be more impressed if they know that we Uchiha are going to gain power in this way, right?"

"No, this method is terrible. If you want to implement it, please don't include me. I don't have your ability to withstand pressure."

"Then it seems that I can only find Madara to test... What kind of emotion should I use to guide Madara? That child is very sensitive, it should be easy for him to feel it, right?

Hmm... How about pretending to be a Thousand Hands and suddenly confessing? Is that scary enough? No, no, Madara hasn't opened his Sharingan yet, so it's a bit too early to use the Mangekyō directly, but this will also allow me to slowly lay the groundwork..."

Uchiha Akihiko: ...

[I'm sorry, Madara, you're on your own. I, Akihiko, can't help you. ]

After mourning for ten seconds in his heart for the tragic fate that Madara might face, Uchiha Akihiko also began to help with advice.

What? Ask him why he suddenly chose to rebel?

Anyway, this was done by Ling himself, and the victim lived under the same roof as Ling, so it was impossible for him to be blamed. It was okay for him to participate a little - after all, he was also very curious whether this method could successfully open the eyes.

After this preliminary discussion, Ling once again reiterated to Uchiha Akihiko that there were problems with the records in the first and third volumes on the stone tablet, and asked him to pay special attention to this part when he engraved it next time.

Uchiha Akihiko didn't ask any more questions. He nodded in agreement and left with the fourth volume of the bamboo-carved book - he had to deliver it to Uchiha Hiro before dark.

After Uchiha Akihiko left, Ling picked up the first and third volumes that he had thrown at his feet and opened them again. This time he read more carefully and became more and more convinced that there were serious problems with these two volumes.

"It would be nice if I could see it myself. This method is still not intuitive enough..." Ling raised his hand and pinched his forehead, the corners of his mouth drooping. "Come to think of it, I have never thought about it before, what is the clan's stone tablet made of? How are the contents on it that are presented in batches by pupil power preserved?

Moreover, some of the records of pupil techniques are unclear and suspicious... The clan has had kaleidoscopes before, and some of the contents on the stone tablet should not be a secret to the top leaders. Is there no one who has doubted the contents of this stone tablet?

But then again, even if someone really wanted to harm the Uchiha clan, what was their reason? And if they had the ability to come and go without a trace, why did they only target the stone tablet instead of attacking the Uchiha clan members directly? "

Ling's doubts popped up one after another, but in the end he just let out a long sigh, "It seems that I should find time to discuss this matter with my father... Well, I'll wait until Zhao Yan brings the next bamboo carving to me for discussion. I also need to think about it carefully first."

Just when Ling was struggling with various doubts and was about to delve into it, Uchiha Hong pulled him out again - "Does what you said last time still count?"

Ling naturally knew what Uchiha Hong was talking about, and nodded immediately, "Of course, if you dare to provoke Uchiha, you must pay the price for provoking Uchiha. What, is there any good mission?"

"Ah, it's a mission from the Demon Country Miko, and she sent it to more than one company. She probably wants to select candidates in person," Uchiha Hiro crossed his arms. "The Demon Country and the Lightning Country are neighbors, and this is the only mission that can reasonably approach the Lightning Country in the near future."

Ling was a little confused when he heard this, but after a moment's hesitation, he nodded, "Okay, then this, what are the mission requirements?"

“There are only three requirements—reach the palace of the Demon Country Miko within ten days, do not clash with the hostile ninja clan within the Demon Country, and be able to accept a high-intensity battle that may last for many days.

The mission rewards are also quite generous. In addition to the due rewards, the selected team can also obtain a prophecy from the witch of the Ghost Country. Those who run with them will get money, but they must leave the border of the Ghost Country immediately after taking the money. "

Hearing this, Ling couldn't help but be a little surprised, "How did you get such a good mission?"

"How did you get it?" Uchiha Hiro snorted, "My grandfather is an elder, my father is in logistics, and my second brother is in the mission department to issue missions... How do you think I got it? Is it because you have been hanging out with Akihiko for so long that your brain has started to degenerate?"

"Haha, I've been overworking my brain lately... Thank you for your concern..."

"I'm not worried about you, don't be so self-indulgent."
