Chapter 577 The Finality of Dedication and Being Dedicated

After marking Ling with his own eye technique and confirming that the eye technique could sense normally, the dead knot in Madara's heart finally turned into a loose knot, and he began to discuss other matters that he cared about with Ling - such as the research on the differences of the Mangekyō Sharingan that Ling had just mentioned.

Ling thought about it and felt that instead of explaining it himself, it would be better to let Madara come and listen. So he asked Madara to tell Uchiha Hiro about the gathering later on his way back, and then notify him to go together when the time came.

Madara was silent for a moment and then agreed directly. He then began to confirm with Ling the people to be discussed at the gathering, and also asked if he could bring Uchiha Kahei and Uchiha Hikari.

After a brief moment of surprise, Ling agreed with great satisfaction - although he accidentally provoked his brother too much, since his brother had opened the kaleidoscope and began to swear to him the dominance of clan affairs, he felt more happy than guilty.

"So, brother, are you going home tonight?" Madara looked at the dozing Mata, "Or are you going to camp out in the training ground with Xiaomata for the whole night?"

"Haha, that depends on when Xiaoya will forgive me..." Ling raised his hand and stroked the tail wrapped around his waist, with a smile on his face that seemed helpless and doting, "Maybe he will stay for quite a while."

"...Well, this is good too. At least with Xiaoyou watching, brother won't do anything too reckless." Madara stood up from the boulder he was sitting on and took Ling's ninja tool bag, leaving him only with his cane and sword. "I will explain the situation to father and Izuna when I return. It's a good opportunity for brother to stop drinking."

Ling just reached out to take back the ninja tool bag, but he withdrew his hand awkwardly, and only protested weakly with words, "Actually, there is really no need to quit drinking..."

"Even if brother doesn't get drunk, alcohol is harmful to the body. Drinking less won't hurt—" Ban forced himself not to look at the pitiful look Ling made, turned around and walked away, "I'm leaving first, and I'll bring you the things brother needs later."

Until he could no longer sense Madara's chakra, the weak look on Ling's face that was deliberately pretending to be pitiful disappeared completely. He just smiled and turned sideways to hug Youlu's neck, "What should I do, Xiaoyou, I'm so happy now~ It's rare for Madara to have such a tough attitude towards me that cannot be refuted. The child has really grown a lot in this incident——"

Youlu snorted to indicate that he heard it, but didn't say anything.

"Are you still mad at me?" Ling rubbed the side of his face against Youlv's hair, which was so soft that it seemed unreal. "I'm sorry. I said I would take good care of Xiaoyou, but I always made Xiaoyou worry about me."

Youlu finally gave Ling a look, "Humph, what you Uchiha want to do, except for your own family, I have never seen anyone who can stop you from going halfway - I have seen through your plan a long time ago."

"What is Xiaoyou angry about?" Ling simply lay down beside Youlv, tilted his head towards it, and smiled mischievously, "Could it be that in Xiaoyou's heart, I have become second only to the Sage of Six Paths, so you can't help but worry about me?"

Youlu snorted, "You think too highly of yourself. Even without the old man, I still have eight companions."

"Oh, then, does that mean that my position in Xiaoyou's heart can be ranked in the top ten?" Ling's smile deepened, "This is really a good sign."

"Humph, you really know how to flatter yourself—" He started again, but didn't give any more reasons to refute. He just changed the subject and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"As for the follow-up plan..." Ling rested his chin on his arm and was silent for a moment before speaking, "As for the follow-up plan, we need to see what father will talk to Madara about, and the results of Hong's experiment before we can make a decision."

Hearing Ling say this, Youlu naturally understood what he was going to do, "Hmph~ To be honest, I don't think your brother will appreciate it."

"Yeah, I also think Madara won't appreciate it, but after talking to Madara, father will definitely come to ask me about the results of Hong's experiment on the Mangekyo and make a decision..."

Ling's face was slightly indifferent. "After all, for Uchiha, the person being offered a gift never has the right to choose whether to accept it or not. Even I am no exception. To some extent, this is also a kind of arrogance, right? But this arrogance will only lead to a dead end."

"I see, is it a done deal?" Youlu loosened the tail wrapped around Ling's waist, shrank down to his neck, and then wrapped his tail around his neck, then snorted and laughed, "Your done scared that Thousand Hands brat quite a bit."

"Hehe... I told you, didn't I? The Uchiha clan will not be understood or accepted by outsiders. I can't change this characteristic, so I can only think of ways to make full use of it, so that those who want to dedicate themselves will be squeezed dry of all their available value, so that those who are dedicated can get the most benefits without disrupting the clan's overall situation..."

Ling raised his hands and embraced Youlu, burying his face in Youlu's warm belly. After a long time, he spoke again, "I... am really a terrible person, right? I even took advantage of my own biological father."

"You Uchiha are all bad--" Youlu raised his paw and patted Ling's cheek. Seeing that he didn't respond, he tilted his head and licked his fingers with his tongue. "Don't worry, at least I'm always watching you. You are someone I truly approve of, and you have never let me down... No, you have let me down before!"

"Eh? What?"

"Your singing when you're drunk is so awful! It's so awful that as a tailed beast, I want to commit suicide immediately to avoid having to listen to it any longer!" Yulu made a threatening sound from his throat, and used his other unused tail to hit Ling on the top of his head, "If you dare to get drunk and sing again, I'll take you to a deserted place and keep you in captivity, so that you'll never have a fight with anyone again in your life! You'll also never be able to drink alcohol again!"

"Haha...as expected~" Ling laughed softly, raised his hand to catch the tip of Youlv's dangling tail and put it to his lips and kissed it softly, "My heart belongs to Xiaoyou."
