Chapter 552: Whirlpool Yi: ...

"Hey, can you please stop smiling so creepily for no reason? Although I know you are not targeting us, I am really having a stress reaction to all your things."

Ling was stunned for a moment, immersed in his own thoughts. He raised his hand to touch the corner of his mouth, and his slightly broken smile returned to its usual gentleness. "Sorry, I really thought of something I was looking forward to - how is Yi? I can't tell a fight that far away with such high chakra intensity with only my perception."

"Yi over there..." Uzumaki Yang stretched out his voice, turned his head, looked at the huge chain that was clearly visible even from a distance of several kilometers, and the One-Tail that was bound by the chain layer by layer, its chakra reaction gradually weakened, and could only rage helplessly. He snorted and laughed, "As long as you don't bother to help One-Tail, there will be no accidents."

Ling chuckled, "It's hard to say. If Yiwei asks me for help, I will definitely help him for Xiaoyou's sake. After all, I am a principled person."

"Hey - I'll only help if you ask for help..." Uzumaki Yang smacked his lips, "Your principles are really flexible."

"Haha, that doesn't sound like a compliment..." Ling shook his head, "Have you finished dealing with the dragon vein?"

"Ah, then we just need to seal up the natural chakra that has been stripped off to prevent it from leaking out and polluting the dragon vein again—" Uzumaki Yang's eyes swept over the dragon vein that was more than twice smaller in size and coiled around Ling, emitting a gentle aura. He also felt strange in his heart, "But it's better to find a way to consume these things. Do you want them?"

"What am I going to do here..." Ling sighed, "But I'm curious about how you plan to use it."

"Well, just find someone who can use Sage Mode and have him absorb it and then transform it into a technique and release it."

"Then it looks like if nothing unexpected happens, this job will fall on Hashirama. With this kind of supply, he should be able to quickly master the Sage Mode..." Ling frowned slightly, "With his natural talent to begin with, his strength should be terribly improved, right? And he happens to be so close to Madara - you better keep an eye on him, I really don't like that kid."

Uzumaki Yang raised his eyebrows, "Okay, I'll tell that kid later - but to be honest, I think Yi will be more annoying in comparison."

“I can’t pretend I didn’t hear that!” Before Ling could respond, Xuanwo Yi’s voice came from afar, “When it comes to treating friends, I think I’m much better than that kid!”

Ling's mouth twitched, "You are indeed better than that guy in interpersonal relationships, but this time you really made me understand what distance creates beauty - I will never come here alone to do missions with you again. At least bring a companion who can attack you if he doesn't like you, such as Xiaoguang or Xiansi."

"...No, you can bring someone, but isn't it too much to bring these two?"

Ling smiled particularly brightly, "You're welcome, you deserve it."

Uzumaki Yang grinned at the frustrated Uzumaki Yi, then raised his chin towards the jar in his hand, "...What do you mean by this?"

"There's quite a commotion here, the Wind Temple should notice it soon. Let's stay here for another week and wait and see. If the enemy can't make it here in time, we can drain its chakra and release it to a remote place."

Uzumaki Yi raised his hand and patted the restless jar, looking somewhat helpless. "I don't want to overly provoke something that can't be killed and can retain its memory - the black hand next to someone who still remembers me."

Ling just smiled and remained silent, even though he knew clearly what the other party was saying.

Handing the jar with the seal of One Tail to Uzumaki Yang, Uzumaki Yi carefully walked around the dragon vein and stood beside Ling, his face serious, "This is the last time I ask you - do you really want to go to that deserted village? The attitude of the dragon vein is actually the attitude of natural energy. You also understand what your disgust is when you practice. Going to the deserted village is actually not very helpful to you."

"Well...why do you not want me to go to the deserted village so much?"

Uzumaki Yi spoke after a brief silence, "The deserted village is located in a vein in the country of the river. The essence of that vein is only different from the dragon vein here in size. The people there have also undergone mutations due to the natural energy that has been gushing out of the vein all year round. Their bodies are naturally able to accommodate natural energy and put it into use - this is what we call the Sage Mode, but this Sage Mode is extremely unstable.

Therefore, they have developed various abilities, and are extremely xenophobic. When they encounter people with strong chakra, they will even choose to attack indiscriminately. Although I don’t know what they think of you who have been recognized by nature, for us who have imprisoned them in a remote place, we will fight to the death every time. "

Ling tilted his head, "...and then?"

Uzumaki Yi crossed his arms, "Actually, I don't mind their fight to the death. After all, when the clan decided to restrain and seal them, we were already prepared to be hated. What bothers me most is their ability. To put it bluntly, in their hands, immortal arts are as unpredictable as our clan's sealing arts and your clan's illusion arts. It's a troublesome situation that no matter how prepared we are, it's not enough."

Ling shrugged slightly, "Then you can just provide me with a passage like last time and let me go there by myself, and then come back by myself - you know, I don't mind."

"I would like to..." Uzumaki Yi sighed, "But that is a changing seal formation. It is easy for me to send you in, but if you want to get out, there will be no great immortal to help you.

In this case, whether dealing with the kaleidoscope or repairing the seal formation at the end, it will be a huge headache - and I can only use 60% of my strength at most."

Ling paused for a moment, and after a moment, a somewhat malicious smile appeared on his lips. "Then why don't you beg me? If you beg me wholeheartedly and let me beat you up, I can forget how annoying you have been these days, and then I will cooperate with you wholeheartedly."
