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

Chapter 109: Dealing with Lack of Travel Expenses

"You won't abandon your friends?" The kitten licked his paw again, "Huh~ You're so bold."

Ling did not answer Nekomata again, but formed a seal to unlock the seal attached to the message, and spread out the small scroll, "Okay, Sanzu, help me read the message."

"Gah, let me see..." The three-legged creature landed on Ling's head again, leaning forward to look at the paper. "I sent you a picture of the spider's Xin Yong map. I sent you a picture of the spider's Xin Yong map. It's safe. Be careful to use chakra to detect it."

Ling: ...I think he was saying that Akihiko had developed a new use for the Monster Pearl and sent it to me, asking me to try out the effect using chakra in a safe place, right?

"Are you sure this bird can be of use to you?" Koneko's eyes showed a very human disdain, "Neither the punctuation nor the pronunciation is correct."

"Well... usually this is done by my other ninja crow, and Sanzu is more likely to lead the way or look for something for me." Ling's smile became more helpless, and he raised his head slightly, "But after we go back, I really should urge you to learn to read, Sanzu."

"Huh? Did I read that wrong?"

"Yeah, but it doesn't matter. The general meaning can still be guessed." Ling picked up the bag, "Looks like I have to find a proper place... Three-legged?"

"Gah, a hidden and safe place, right? I know it!" The three-legged creature flapped its wings and flew up. "You should find a place to rest for a night. I just took over and need to familiarize myself with the terrain. After I cancel the reverse communication, you can wait a little longer before communicating with me."

"Well, please."

Watching the arrogant crow fly away, the kitten couldn't help but sweep Ling's neck with its tail to attract his attention, "So what are you going to do next?"

"Well - I should go back to town, right?" Ling tilted his head slightly, "After all, I didn't bring much money when I came out, so I should find a way to earn some money for the trip back... Miss Nekomata, do you want to come with me?"

"I can't," the kitten jumped off Ling's shoulder again, "so as not to give you unrealistic expectations - goodbye, funny boy."

"Are you really not going to consider me? Miss Nekomata? Miss Nekomata?" Ling turned to the direction where the voice came from, but there was no answer for a long time. He could only sigh softly, "This ability to block perception is really distressing... It seems that I also need to practice more."

Watching Ling walking away while knocking his cane and knife, the kitten who had said goodbye stretched again and followed Ling lightly and silently - it always felt that interesting things would happen around this human.

Although Ling could not sense the strange little cat, his intuition, which had been trained on the battlefield for many years, told him that he was being watched.

[Hmm, such curiosity is really a cat's habit...] Ling seemed unaware and walked back slowly as he came. [Are you curious about what Zhao Yan sent me? Or are you just looking for some fun? But just following me like this... Even if you are absolutely confident in your own abilities, isn't it a bit too naive?

However, this ability to block perception is really enviable. I don’t know if it is her own ability or simply because of the seal... Well - let’s observe for a while. If there is a chance, I still want to work hard to become a psychic partner. 】

When he heard the voice again, Ling did as he said and asked for directions back to the town.

His saying he was going to earn money for travel was not an excuse - he really didn't bring much money with him.

Situations like lack of funds when traveling away from home are not uncommon among ninjas, and there are many ways to solve them, such as stealing, robbing, gambling, selling information, or hiding one's identity to take private missions... These are all very good ways.

However, the money and property I have now are enough for my daily life, so there is no need to find a place to earn extra money right away.

Just the mention of making extra money made Ling feel a pity - after all, for him, gambling was undoubtedly the fastest and safest way to make money. Even if he didn't use the Sharingan, his luck was incredibly good just by placing a random bet.

But in my current situation, if there is no one around to witness it, there is a high probability that the casino will refuse to pay and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Although he was not afraid of being in trouble, if the noise was too loud, he might be found by the Thousand Hands that were lured here before - this would be the most troublesome thing.

The rest of the paths are a mixed bag of good and bad, with little trouble.

To sum up the above, Ling decided to find a place to have a drink first. After all, a blind man who was alone outside was an easy target to be bullied. He might feel uncomfortable if he was robbed directly, but he would not feel uncomfortable if the thieves robbed the thieves - it was definitely not because he was simply greedy for wine.

After making up his mind, Ling began to ask passers-by one by one if there was a place nearby where he could drink and stay but was not a brothel.

After asking seven or eight passers-by, Ling met an enthusiastic middle-aged man who told him directly that he had a good place to recommend to him. He also told him to tell the store owner the name of Nakano Sanzang when he got there, and the store owner would treat him with his treasured fine wine.

After Ling asked for directions, he thanked him solemnly and walked towards the shop that Nakano Sanzang mentioned.

However, the little cat who watched the whole process just felt uncomfortable all over - because of her own characteristics, she could almost see the malice like a physical entity overflowing from the man who called himself Nakano Sanzang, and Ling's direct belief in the other party and even his lack of doubt made her even more disappointed.

[Because he dared to ask me to sign a psychic contract, I thought he would be an interesting kid... But he turned out to be so naive that he couldn't even see through such a trap?] The kitten stood on the eaves again and looked at Ling Yuan's back, with disappointment in his eyes, [How boring.]

But just when it was about to leave, Ling stopped and tilted his head slightly, as if waiting for something.

The kitten suddenly became interested again and walked to the eaves next to Ling. Ling continued to move forward as usual, but when the man and the cat were separated by a certain distance, Ling stopped again and stood there quietly waiting.

After repeating this several times, the kitten was really surprised again, and he felt amused again. He no longer concealed himself and jumped directly from the eaves to Ling, grabbed his sleeve and quickly climbed onto his shoulder, "Can you detect me?"

Ling rubbed Koneko's chin with his knuckles, chuckled and said, "If you must say, it's intuition, right? The difference between human and animal gazes is quite obvious."

The kitten purred a few times to show its respect, then grabbed Ling's hair and climbed onto his head, saying in a typical farmer's way, "That person is lying to you. His malice is not concealed at all. Can't you see that?"

"Well, I know. After all, as a ninja, it's easy to tell whether the other party has bad intentions or not... But didn't I tell you?" Ling took another step, smiling even more, "I don't have any money for the trip."
