Naruto: Let's take a look at the blind Uchiha

Zhenquan looked at the bodies with their heads and bodies torn apart in front of him, and covered his mouth with shaking hands. His voice trembled, "Just... self-protection?"

"Well, it's just self-protection." Ling chuckled, "After all, I'm just a blind man. If I let go of someone who is hostile to me, wouldn't I be unable to sleep or eat for a long time?"

Zhenquan looked at Ling's gentle smile and felt cold all over - even though she had just been rescued by this person.

"I checked, there are no living people around." The sound of flapping wings came from not far away. Yata landed on a branch above Ling and looked at Zhenquan who was slumped on the ground. "If you don't count this little girl, then..."

"Well, you've worked hard. Now we can travel peacefully," Ling didn't care about Zhenquan who collapsed on the ground. He turned around and walked back the way he came. "Let's finish the investigation before more trouble comes."

"Got it. I'll show you the way."

Seeing Ling showing no intention of stopping, Zhenquan was stunned again, but he quickly got up and stumbled to catch up with Ling's pace, "Sir, wait a moment, please wait a moment."

Ling stopped and tilted his head slightly, "Miss, is there anything else?"

"Please help me. I can give you all the valuables on me. Please take me to the nearest town." Zhenquan didn't dare to get too close to Ling. He held up his purse with both hands five steps away from Ling and said in a very weak voice, "Please, just take me to a populated place. I won't cause you any trouble."

"Oh, Miss," Ling said with a helpless smile, "I'm just a blind man. It's hard for me to survive just by protecting myself."

Zhenquan's body stiffened and he slowly withdrew his hand, "I'm sorry..."

"It's great that you understand." Ling nodded in the direction of Zhenquan. "After all, I'm just a blind man. If someone really follows me secretly, it will be difficult for me to detect it."

Upon hearing this, Zhenquan couldn't help but raise his head again, wanting to observe something from Ling's actions, but saw that he had already walked away without any reluctance.

Biting her lip, Zhenquan mustered up the courage to follow him - because she had completely lost her direction in her panic when escaping, and now she was tired and hungry, it was absolutely impossible for her to walk out of the forest on her own.

[I hope I can get back to the path before I lose them. That way I at least have a chance to survive...]

But as they walked forward, Zhenquan found that tracking Ling was much easier than she had imagined, because Ling was much taller than she was, so when he walked forward he would block or cut through the dense branches and leaves, leaving more solid footprints on the ground, and she only had to step on them one by one in order.

[Great, I should be able to follow him back to the path smoothly.] Zhenquan walked as carefully as possible, and at the same time couldn't help but observe the crow that just saved him, [I hope Mr. Crow won't tell Mr. Samurai that I'm following...]

Because there was blood on its claws, Yata did not land back on Ling's shoulder. Instead, it flapped its wings and flew away after leading the man out of the bushes.

Ling Ze still maintained his unhurried pace, moving forward along the somewhat rugged path.

On the way, Zhenquan also saw several people who were chasing him being eaten by wild wolves until their flesh and blood were blurred. If he had not covered his mouth tightly and tried not to look over there, and was worried that Ling would discover that he was following him and drive him away, he would have knelt on the side of the road and vomited.

As it was getting dark, Yatagara flew back from somewhere, with the blood on its claws cleaned off, and landed on Ling's shoulder again. Ling also began to prepare for camping at night.

Zhenquan didn't dare to get too close. Seeing that Ling had no intention of leaving, he carefully sat down far away against a big tree and began to sob quietly.

Yata leaned forward to look at Zhenquan in the afterglow of the sunset, and soon moved closer to Ling's ear, lowering his voice, "Didn't the master say that he didn't want to cause trouble? Although this little brat is a good person, isn't she a trouble herself?"

Ling fumbled to set up the firewood, and then used ninjutsu to light it, "I'm just a blind man, how can I control where the other person's feet want to go?"

"So what are you doing with the fire? Isn't it said that as a ninja, you have to get used to enduring bad conditions?"

"I'm not on a mission now, and I'm not wearing my clan uniform, so I don't have to stick to these rules." Ling took out the seal scroll and fumbled through the runes on it one by one. "Besides, I've been walking for a whole day, and I want to eat some hot food... Here, this is yours."

Yata tilted his head and said nothing more. He just lowered his head and pecked at the bird food that Ling handed to his mouth.

After Yata had finished eating, Ling took out some dry food and put it by the fire to heat it up. Yata looked at the food that was obviously prepared separately and couldn't help but say, "Sometimes you really have an inexplicable compassion for the weak."

Ling curled his knuckles and rubbed Yata's chin, laughing softly, "Don't say that. People who can struggle to survive are never weak. Okay, go and rest."

Zhenquan, who was not far away, also calmed down after crying for a long time. He rubbed his eyes and looked in the direction of Ling, but found that the gentle yet terrifying warrior had already fallen asleep leaning against a big tree, and next to the burning fire, there was a folded thick coat and a piece of food.

Zhenquan felt her eyes getting sore again. She whispered thank you, then tiptoed over and stuffed her purse into Ling's backpack. Then she sat down by the fire and started eating.

[Although he is scary, he is a kind-hearted warrior... So he is the guidance given to me by God? ]

With this in mind, Zhenquan curled up and fell asleep by the fire. After she fell asleep, Ling, who seemed to be asleep beside her, reached out of her bag and took out the purse she had just stuffed in, and chuckled, "Look, look... What a lovely little guy."

"You want to keep this?"

"Give it back to her later," Ling put the purse back, "She should have a reason to follow me with peace of mind, right?"

"Excuse me, but you are now meddling in other people's business."

"Didn't I tell you?" Ling leaned back against the tree trunk again, his voice full of laughter. "I'm just blind. If someone really follows me secretly, it would be difficult for me to detect... Okay, let's go to sleep."
