Uchiha Qizhi's heart sank when he saw Ling being carried back by two people - he had just been out for a short while and already such a commotion had occurred?

You should know that he was originally a member of the clan sent out to provide support. Before leaving, Uchiha Tajima pulled him aside and talked to him alone, saying that he hoped he could help take care of Ling.

After all, as the patriarch of the clan, Uchiha Tajima's every move would be closely watched by his enemies. If he went there in person, it would inevitably bring unnecessary trouble.

Uchiha Qizhi agreed without much thought. After all, Ling had always behaved in a measured way since he was young, which made him a worry-free person. Moreover, unlike other juniors, he would never take the initiative to provoke other clans - even if the other party was a Senju.

He could even hear his old rival praising Ling with murderous intent on the battlefield.

Who wouldn't want to take better care of a junior like this?

In comparison, his nephew is far worse. He is either looking for trouble or on his way to trouble all day long. As long as he is not training with younger children, he will definitely be the biggest troublemaker in the entire team.

Just like now, look, his nephew took people out and in less than two hours he brought back a healthy child. If something happened, how would he have the face to see Tiandao!

Thinking of this, Uchiha Qizhi hurried over, eager to know what had happened - but the moment he smelled the strong smell of alcohol, the anxiety on his face disappeared instantly, and the corners of his mouth showed a noticeable downward trend.

The elderly ninja crossed his arms, his eyes reddening, "Uchiha Eiji, you'd better explain to me why you went to the tavern before I lose my temper."

Uchiha Eiji lowered his head and avoided his gaze almost as a conditioned reflex. He rubbed the kitten in his hands uneasily before he began to explain.

Uchiha Keizhi's face darkened as he listened, and finally he just raised his hand and pointed to the house behind him, "I'll let you go now, and wait for Ling to wake up and come to me... I will investigate it myself, so don't think about discussing it secretly and getting away with it, understand?"

"Yes……"

After entering the house, Uchiha Yingji performed an angry cat head rubbing on the spot, and then was jumped into the arms of Youlu who had come to his senses and slapped him with a claw.

This claw was obviously not as restrained as the one that hit Ling. Uchiha Yingji's cheek swelled up on the spot, but Yu Lu took advantage of the force and jumped up lightly, stepped on Uchiha Masaki's head and fell on the bed.

"Hiss - what a fierce cat." Uchiha Yingji covered his face, but he didn't seem angry. Instead, he leaned closer and said, "Hey, are you angry? Don't be angry, I didn't mean it. How about I treat you to some dried fish?"

Uchiha Masaki put Lingye on the bed, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he looked at his friend playing with the cat. "If I were you, I wouldn't mess with that cat."

"What are you talking about?" Uchiha Yingji covered his face with one hand, holding the dried fish he used to tease the cat in the other hand, "This is a ninja beast that can put Ling Beichuan in danger. It's a good deal if we can summon it.

Besides, I am different from you talented guys. A weak Uchiha like me needs to be protected!"

"It is indeed commendable that you don't hide your desires... but being too goal-oriented is not pleasing." Yuta tilted his head and looked at Uchiha Eider in front of him, "Besides, I am following this kid just to see more interesting things, and I don't intend to help him fight. If you have such an idea, you'd better give up as soon as possible."

"Eh... They're so powerful, but they're not combat-type ninja beasts?"

"It's better to say that you don't like fighting because you are too powerful... Do you like to bully weak ones?"

Uchiha Yingji thought seriously for a moment and nodded, which successfully made Youlu speechless.

Seeing that Yataru turned around and pointed his butt at them, Uchiha Yingji and Uchiha Masaki did not intend to make trouble anymore. After they settled Ling, they gathered together to discuss for a while how to deal with the accountability of the elders in the clan, and then withdrew.

Youlu turned back after hearing the door close, staring at Ling who was sleeping with even breathing, "Huh~ Even though they are so similar, you are not lonely... I am really looking forward to it more and more."

At this point, Youlv couldn't help but stretch like a standard cat and jumped lightly onto Ling's chest, "Hoo hoo, there's still plenty of time, let's go somewhere else... meow?"

It was Ling who turned over and hugged Youlu in his arms. After a brief moment of shock, Youlu began to pull Ling's hand away, intending to leave, but Ling put his chin on his head and rubbed it unconsciously, "Be good, don't make trouble..."

Youlv looked at Ling who was sleeping defenselessly after mumbling something, and snorted and snuggled in his arms, "Hmph~ You are such a clingy boy... Well, there is nothing I can do. I'll just take a nap too."

Ling could feel that he was sleeping very soundly. He knew that as a ninja he should not let his guard down like this, but the scent of sunshine coming from his nose made him unconsciously let down his guard and just want to indulge in it.

It was just like when his mother was still alive, the quilts at home would always be dried in the sun to become fluffy and soft, so sticky that he couldn't resist them and would unconsciously stay in bed to delay training.

When he regained consciousness, he saw the familiar darkness. Ling was stunned for a long time, and subconsciously rubbed the soft, furry, and sunny pillow in his arms. [Am I... a little too comfortable? ]

"Boy, you really sleep defenselessly~"

Ling paused rubbing the pillow with his chin and changed hands to touch it, as if he wanted to confirm something.

"Hmph~ Even if you confirm it again, you have been sleeping with me in your arms for almost a day."

Ling removed his hand, apologetically, "Sorry, did I bother you?"

"It's not a hindrance. After all, the tailed beasts are immortal in a sense. Such a short time is nothing to me..." Yata stood up and shook his fur. "But you are really brave. You dare to sleep with the tailed beast with all its power, and you are completely unprepared."

Ling held Youlu in his arms and sat up, and began to stroke its fur. His voice was still a little hoarse from just waking up, but it was hard to hide the smile in it, "Well... maybe it's because I know Xiaoyou won't hurt me?"

Youlv was stunned for a few seconds, then snorted and laughed, "You are really good at talking."
