Chapter 83 Hui Yue Qi

After several days of marching, the Uchiha team finally entered the territory of the Land of Lightning. However, Ling and his party did not leave the team immediately. Instead, they followed the large group to visit relatives and friends.

Nearly a hundred years of separation have turned the people with Uchiha bloodline on both sides into two clans. Their living habits have become completely different. Moreover, the ancestors of this side were mostly wives of the wife's family, and they did not leave together because their families were involved in this place.

Most of the tribesmen who stayed here had no talent as ninjas, destined to be unable to open their eyes, and ordinary people who couldn't even extract chakra. After several generations of bloodline inheritance, the Uchiha bloodline became increasingly thin, and they even no longer used the surname [Uchiha], but changed it to [Kuizuki].

It is precisely because of the rare bloodline that there are almost no people in the Huiyue clan who can open the Sharingan. Even if one appears occasionally, the clan leader here will immediately send a message to the Uchiha clan in the Fire Country, asking them to quickly send people to pick up the entire family of the person who has opened the eye.

This behavior may seem a bit cold-blooded - they were clearly family members the moment before, but they immediately chose to drive them away just because they were slightly different.

But this is undoubtedly the most correct decision. After all, the Huiyue clan has been away from disputes for a long time. In this chaotic era, their weak power alone cannot protect these people with open eyes. After all, they are not strong in martial arts and do not have the name of Uchiha. The Sharingan is not a treasure to them at all, but a death signal.

But this method is not safe either. In today's era, even if someone has no grudge against you, they may stab you in the back just because they don't like you passing by. No matter how powerful the Uchiha forces are, it is difficult to protect everything. There will always be members of the tribe who will be attacked by blind people during migration. Even if they retaliate later, the dead members of the tribe will never be able to stand up again.

The reason why the Uchiha clan came this time was because they wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Fire Country and bring all the members of the Huiyue clan over. One reason was to prevent the Uchiha bloodline from being lost outside, and the other was to solve once and for all the problem of people opening their eyes from time to time and needing to relocate their families.

However, before Uchiha Masaguchi led the team here, he had never expected that the lineage in the ancestral land of the Land of Lightning would develop so well, and they had actually risen directly from a foreign ninja clan to a small local noble.

Since the other party has become a registered noble in the Land of Lightning, the relocation issue will naturally come to nothing. However, it is also a fact that the Uchiha bloodline still remains here, and the two sides will inevitably have some tug-of-war to draw a line in protecting the clan members.

But this process was very long. After the two sides started arguing, Ling and his friends suggested going out to take a walk around the area and see the scenery of the Land of Thunder.

After learning about this, the Huiyue clan - no, now it should be called the Huiyue family, the head of the Huiyue family took the initiative to recommend an outstanding member of the family as a guide to Ling and his companions.

Ling and his companions naturally had no reason to refuse, so they immediately thanked him and accepted the offer.

"Is it really okay to bring ordinary people with you?" Uchiha Masaaki followed Ling, looking quite reluctant, "If the time comes..."

"Well, don't be so anxious. Even when fishing, fish may not bite the hook in all situations," Ling chuckled. "Before that, it's better to slow down and wait for the bait to spread."

"Wow... you really have a bad conscience."

"Excellent."

Madara: ...(゜-゜)

[Brother, you are always too reserved when speaking. You should change that. What kind of riddle is this?]

Just as Ban was thinking deeply about what the other two were talking about, a gentle and clear voice sounded from the front, "Ah, I guess you are the distinguished guests that the master of the family mentioned, right?

My name is Hui Yueqi, and I am here to serve as your guide for a while at the order of the master. Although we are still strangers to each other, let's get along well, okay?"

Ban raised his head and looked at the figure standing at the door. The person had delicate features and a warm smile on his lips, giving him a very approachable feeling, but...was the look in his eyes when he looked at him and others a little bit hot?

"Nice to meet you. I'm Uchiha Ling. The two people beside me are my classmate Uchiha Masaki and my younger brother, Uchiha Madara." Ling nodded slightly in the direction of the voice. "Thank you for troubling you these past few days."

"No, no, this is not a trouble. Rather, it is my honor to be with such a beauty."

Ling: ...Hmm?

"Haha, please don't mind it. After all, everyone loves beauty. I am just more obsessed with beauty than others." Hui Yueqi turned sideways. "We are not much different in age, so I dare to call you by your names."

"Uh, yeah, sure." Ling nodded slightly, tapping his cane and sword as he stepped forward, "Then I'll trouble you to start in the next few days."

"You're welcome," Huiyueqi chuckled, leading the way in front, but his eyes fell on the lower half of Ling's face, "Ling, do you have any taboos?"

"Qi, you're joking. We are ninjas. We have always been chosen. How can we be picky?" Ling seemed to be unaware of Huiyue Qi's gaze, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his lips. "But after the mission, I will occasionally go for a drink. If I can appreciate the fine wine of the Land of Lightning this time, I won't have any regrets on this trip."

Hui Yueqi seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, "In that case, I do know a good and quiet place..."

Seeing that the two were talking happily (?), Uchiha Masaki slowed down his pace and walked with Madara, lowering his voice, "That guy is in the same camp as your brother. It's not good. You better be careful."

"…What do you mean by passerby?"

"It's the kind of person who smiles at you one second and stabs you through the next."

Madara looked away, "…you said that as if you wouldn't do that."

"Of course I won't do that," Uchiha Masaki said with a sad look on his face, "I am very compassionate, so I usually choose to give the other party a quick death...

Well, although it was fun to chase and intercept and watch the other side slowly fall into despair, and the screams during torture were also enjoyable, the unyielding will even in desperate situations was touching no matter how many times -

But because they are enemies, I can only do this, and then I will be kind enough to give them a quick death after they give me the information... Compared to Ling, I am too kind."

Madara: ...How dare you say you are kind?

"Why, you don't believe it?" Seeing Madara's expression, Uchiha Masaki couldn't help but curl his lips, "When your brother was not blind, he only paid attention to his image in front of his family, but he was even more crazy when fighting.

You have to know that although I was one of the candidates for succession and had enough strength, I was also the first to announce my withdrawal. "

"……Why?"

"Of course I am not as dark-minded as them and I am not good at playing political games!" Uchiha Masaki said excitedly, but his voice was still very low. "Compared to them, I am just short of writing weakness, pity and helplessness on my face. I am the kindest among my peers."

[This guy is even worse than that guy called Kenji. ]

Thinking of this, Ban silently quickened his pace and followed closely behind Ling, while reconsidering an idea -

[There are so many weirdos among my brother’s peers. ]
