Chapter 97 Hashirama: I learned it, I learned it.

After running nearly ten kilometers with Uzumaki Yang and Hashirama, Uzumaki Yi's pace gradually slowed down, but his voice was slightly heavy, "It's incredible, Ling is still the same as before."

Xudong Yang almost immediately understood Xudong Yi's meaning and was a little surprised. "Hasn't his strength declined?"

"It's definitely a step back, after all, the troublesome Sharingan is gone, but the neat physical skills are still difficult to deal with. It's better to say that he's fighting more fiercely than before," Uzumaki Yi stopped and turned to look back. The hearty smile on his face was gone, replaced by a complicated one, "It's really pleasant and uneasy to be an enemy with such a person."

"Happiness is bullshit, you're just worried, okay?" Uzumaki Yang pouted, "Are you really okay? I saw that the knife hit you hard."

"Ah, now that you mention it, it really should be dealt with."

Just as Hashirama was wondering what Uzumaki Yi was going to do, he saw him take a deep breath and press the xiphoid process with the knuckle of his thumb. After a while, he vomited a large mouthful of blood, and his complexion looked much better than before.

"Brother Yi, what are you doing..."

"Hmm?" Uzumaki wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Oh, it's okay, it's just that Ling's chakra eroded my body just now, and it hurt my internal organs a little."

Hashirama: ...Didn't you just say you weren't hurt?

Seeing Hashirama's confused expression, Uzumaki laughed again, "Hahahaha - you can't expect me to tell the other party about my true injuries directly, right? That's too stupid!

And if I was really exposed, Ling would definitely think of a way to stab me again, right? Sigh - I lost so badly this time. "

Hashirama tilted his head, "But didn't that Uchiha Ling say it was a tie?"

"No, I lost," Uzumaki Yi smiled and rubbed Hashirama's hair, the smile on his lips tinged with helplessness, "Because I'm not sure I can die together with Ling, but he is sure to drag me to die together... This is a pretty miserable loss."

"So you were too lenient with that Uchiha at the beginning," Uzumaki Yang frowned, "wouldn't it be better to just kill him with the sealing technique? You had clearly already sealed him with the sealing technique at that time, right? If I'm not mistaken... it was a heavy seal on all four limbs, right?"

"Yes, but Ling reacted very quickly and used chakra to disperse the spell in an instant. It takes time to prepare again - I only learned the heavy seal of the limbs not long ago, and I am not familiar with it at all."

At this point, Uzumaki wiped his face, his expression quite distressed, "Speaking of which, why can swordsmanship cut through the Diamond Seal? Is it because I don't have a clear impression of the Uchiha? Aren't they mainly focusing on illusion? With Ling's swordsmanship, I almost thought he was from the Hatake family."

"That's right, that guy doesn't act like an Uchiha at all. Not only does he not show off his skills when fighting, but others are just trying to chop off your hands and feet, but this guy is just trying to kill you!"

Uzumaki Yang's expression also became depressed, "Although the Diamond Seal is constructed by chakra, it is also much harder than ordinary swords. How come that guy is chopping it like it's playing?

And he even cut off several of them in a row? It's bad enough to be on guard against illusions when fighting against Uchiha, but now even physical techniques are not allowed to be used? If all Uchiha are like this, will there be any hope of fighting?"

Uzumaki Yi sighed and raised his head, "By the way, Hashirama, how long has it been since the last war between your two families ended?"

"Hmm? Let me think..." Hashirama recalled the last time he fought with the Uchiha clan, "It should have been nine... no, ten months ago, right?"

"What about the first news about his mission away? Just tell me what you know."

"Hmm... it seems like it was about four or five months ago?" Hashirama scratched the back of his head. "I remember that I was on a mission with Makoto at the time, and I met him during a break. Ah, he even said thank you to me."

"So that guy has been blind for less than half a year and he's already on a mission?!" Uzumaki Yang cursed, "Does he have no heart?"

Uzumaki Yi also lowered his head with a bitter smile on his face, "Less than half a year... This time I lost even more completely."

Hashirama looked confused, "Why do you say that?"

“Didn’t I tell you? I almost had my arm chopped off by Ling, and then I started practicing two-handed swords,” Xuwo Yi smiled, “But at that time, after I knew that my dominant hand was almost useless and the chances of recovery were slim, I was discouraged and even thought about giving up.

It wasn't until my tribe members told me that my arm had recovered well and would be restored with proper care that I cheered myself up again. So although it took a year to recover, in fact, the time I spent in self-abandonment was nearly two months.

Ling's last battle, how could he not have been injured less severely than me? But even so, he immediately cheered up... Well, it should be said that he is worthy of being called Ling, a man who is really not easy to chase! "

Hashirama suddenly started coughing violently.

"I say, Yi, you really should change your bad way of talking. Look how scared the child is." Uzumaki Yang took out the sealing scroll, took out a bottle of water and handed it to Hashirama, "And you, Hashirama, that guy, as the person involved, didn't react to Yi at all. Why are you so excited..."

Hashirama took the kettle in a daze, and for a moment he didn't know whether to complain about Uzumaki Yi's way of speaking or about Uchiha Ling's lack of reaction.

"Yang, what you said is not right," Uzumaki Yi shook his head, "The problem is not with me, but with you who misunderstood my words.

What I did was to be sincere, but you misinterpreted my words. What does this mean? It means that you are not open-minded enough. Look at Ling, he never misunderstands my meaning. He is not as open-minded as an Uchiha. You should reflect on this."

"You are good in every way except your brain," Uzumaki Yang tapped his temple, "You are really hopeless. Have you ever heard of "Why flirt if not marrying"? It means you are facing an Uchiha with a brain problem. If you were to find someone who likes you...tsk tsk."

Hashirama silently took a sip from the kettle - so... it's okay to treat Uchiha like this? Learned, learned.
