Chapter 571 Uchiha Masaki: ...You are such a brave boy.

"You Uchiha are either crazy or stupid, how did you manage to stay famous in the ninja world until now?"

As soon as Tobirama finished speaking, Uchiha Masaki turned his gaze away, "Isn't it because of his insanity that he became famous in the ninja world? Who did you meet to be able to say that he was stupid?"

"Uchiha Madara--" Tobirama clicked his tongue, "In some ways, he is just as hopeless as my eldest brother."

"Ban?" Ling, who was originally coaxing Youlu in a gentle voice, suddenly turned his head with all his strength, "What did Ban do?"

Tobirama lowered his eyes to look at the rather embarrassed Ling, and for a moment he felt speechless, "Maybe he was provoked by you. A few days ago, your brother led Uchiha Guang to the border of the two tribes' cities and threatened us to reveal Brother Yi's whereabouts to him. If I hadn't just returned from the mission, I'm afraid he would have led Uchiha Guang to fight with my eldest brother and Uncle Atsushi."

"Isn't it normal for this situation to conflict?"

Hearing this, Tobirama looked at Uchiha Masaki, opened his mouth, and then sighed as if remembering something, "Indeed, although there is an intention to form an alliance, the two clans have accumulated hatred for generations after all, and it is not difficult to understand that a conflict would occur due to a disagreement. However, even if they decide to have a conflict, it is fine for ordinary clan members, but it is not right for the two of them to do so!

Look at the location they chose—the junction of the city and the people! Tourists and businessmen from all directions are destined to pass through this place! Even the clan members guarding here have to be carefully selected to act cautiously to avoid reducing the clan’s credibility outside. As a result, the young clan leaders of the two clans are planning to fight in such a place without any care! Not to mention that they have attracted so many clan members from both sides!

I don't expect my eldest brother to have normal thinking, but what's wrong with you Uchiha? You act so absurdly, are you really educating your heir seriously? Even if the heir doesn't know, at least let someone who can persuade him be with him, right? "

At the end, Tobirama's expression was a little ferocious, but his words were still clear, "If you tell me that Uchiha Madara will make all the decisions in the future, then I don't think there is any need to continue this cooperation! After all, with the ridiculousness of him and my eldest brother combined, if the two clans unite, they will only end up in extinction. It's better to maintain the status quo!"

Uchiha Masaki lowered his head and looked at the door that was not even close to his chest. The corner of his mouth twitched, "What are you doing here, kid?"

Tobirama regained his expressionless look and looked at him, "Is there a possibility? I'm scolding you - don't tell me you can't see what hidden dangers their actions will bring to the future of the clan."

Uchiha Masaki: ...You are such a brave boy.

"Eh - so that's what Madara did. It seems like my influence on that kid is more profound than I thought... It gives me a headache."

Ling held Youlv's paw and lay on his back, letting out a long sigh. "It seems that I should be quiet for a while to ease the kid's accumulated emotions towards me, and cultivate his sense of sovereignty... Thank you, Xiao Tobirama, for bringing me good information - so why did you come to me at this time? If you want to ask for information, it's more cost-effective to go to Yi?"

"Although I did intend to gather intelligence, I would like to ask more about your plans and arrangements for the alliance between the two clans—" Tobirama glanced at the stubborn Yuta who kept pinning him to the ground no matter how Ling coaxed him, "Also, about the matters related to your tailed beast. When I came here, they said that it would be best to get what I wanted to ask directly from you, as getting it from them would lack the shock factor."

"Ah, me and Xiaoyou? Can we be considered lovers?"

Tobirama was silent for a moment, then turned to Uchiha Masaki with a serious expression, "You haven't used illusion on me yet, right?"

Uchiha Masaki looked a little speechless, "If you want, I can give you one."

"Then hit me."

"…Do you have masochistic tendencies?"

Tobirama raised his hand and pointed at Ling and Youlu, his mouth twitching slightly, "Then how do you explain this?"

Uchiha Masaki showed disdain on his face, "What does his perverted view of love have to do with me?"

"I say, there's no need for everyone to be shocked when hearing this, right?" Ling's voice was a little weak. "By the way, Yashu, why did you come to see me?"

"You haven't forgotten what you promised me, have you?"

"Well, I won't forget it, but I want to take advantage of this matter. Now is not the most appropriate time. I need you to be patient for a while."

Hearing this, Uchiha Masaki frowned, but finally he let out a long sigh, "I know, you just need to remember it - I'm going back first, let the people who come later send this kid back."

Tobirama watched Uchiha Masaki leap up to the treetops and disappear after a few leaps. His gaze returned to Ling and Youlu, "So, why did you choose the tailed beast as your lover? Or, why did the tailed beast agree?"

"I didn't agree, it was just this kid who thought that!" Yulu slapped the ground with his tail, "Do you know how much trouble it will be if you provoke an Uchiha?"

Tobirama lowered his eyes and looked at Ling who looked helpless, "...I think in terms of the result, you should have gained more benefits - after all, I heard that it is difficult for the tailed beasts to resist the power of the Mangekyō."

Youlu looked dissatisfied and asked, "Where did you hear this nonsense from?"

"It is recorded in our clan's scroll. Before the Uchiha moved to Nanga River, there was a conflict between the two nations of Thunder and Fire. The daimyo of both sides hired a large number of ninjas to fight. At that time, there was an Uchiha of the Mangekyō who drove the tailed beasts to sweep across the battlefield. As far as the records are concerned, I don't think it is a rumor."

Tobirama looked at Ling, who still had no intention of resisting, and then looked at Lu, "But I can probably understand the feeling of being targeted by an Uchiha. It's simply creepy, yet addictive."

Hearing this, Youlu, who was about to retort, fell silent. The cat's face was full of depression. Ling, on the other hand, smiled softly when he heard this. He raised his hand and patted Youlu's paw that was pressing on him soothingly. "Well, that's why I told you a long time ago. Don't regret choosing an Uchiha."
