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

After confirming with Youlv that the ore problem had been solved, Ling felt relieved and began to concentrate on making extra money to pay off the intelligence fees. He also spent a large sum of money again to purchase intelligence for the long-term mission he had accepted.

This even made Youlv very confused for a while as to why he had to spend extra money to collect intelligence that he could do himself.

"Well, wasn't I being hunted during the tsunami a few days ago? I wasn't prepared at that time, and it seems that my face was seen. If I investigate it myself now, I'm afraid it will bring unnecessary trouble to the clan... and don't I have to meet Sanwei later?"

Ling picked up the takoyaki in his hand that was only brushed with a thin layer of sauce but sprinkled with bonito flakes, blew it a little to cool it down, and put it into his mouth, with a smile on his face. "It saves time and effort to complete the task directly like this. Maybe when I go back, I can have time to go to the Land of Hot Springs and bring something back for Madara and Izuna. The sauce here is slightly sweet, so good."

Youlu lowered his head again and blew air at the takoyaki covered with sauce in front of him, while scratching the table with his claws guiltily - what a sin.

"Say, do you want to bring some for Sanwei? It's not easy for you to get human food through formal channels, right?"

"That thing is always looking for a place to sleep. You can take it, but I'm not sure if it will eat it."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and tentatively picked up a takoyaki that was only warm on the surface, but he soon spat it out again because of the heat inside that could not dissipate. At the same time, he kept shaking his head and sticking out his pink little tongue.

"By the way, Xiaomata is really a cat."

"…What idiotic things are you talking about again?"

"Aren't cats' tongues afraid of being burned?" Ling turned around and ordered other food from the snack shop owner. He smiled and rubbed the hair on the side of the neck. "He has such a terrifying strength, but he was defeated by the freshly baked takoyaki... The Six Paths Sage still has some bad taste in him."

Youlu raised his paw and slapped Ling's hand away, with a speechless look on his face, "You kid really are..."

After spending a few more days in the coastal town of the Water Kingdom, Ling finally made up for his outstanding intelligence. After carefully packing the things he needed for the clan mission and the gifts for his family, he led his group from the uninhabited coastline to the open sea.

After the thick fog on the sea completely engulfed Ling's figure, Youlu jumped off Ling's shoulder, and at the same time changed back to its original size. It used its tail to roll Ling onto its back and strode towards where the Three-Tailed Fox was. It was not that it looked down on Ling, but judging from the distance between the Three-Tailed Fox and its current location, even if Ling could run over, he probably wouldn't have the strength to use his chakra to stand on the sea.

Ling, sitting on Youlu's back, still had the mind to joke with it, saying that his skin had gotten much better during the few days he had been in the Water Kingdom, and he didn't feel nervous at all.

"Even if it's out of fear of the tailed beasts, you should be a little more scared, right?" After running at high speed in the original form for nearly an hour, Matata finally slowed down his pace, "You've made my nervousness disappear."

Ling reached out and touched Youlv's fur, "Why is Xiaoyou so nervous?"

Matatabi finally stopped, "Well, the tailed beasts don't take well to humans because of various things... I'm pretty grumpy every time I'm resurrected."

"To be honest, I'm a little confused." Ling crossed his arms and tilted his head. "Do the humans that Xiaoyou recognized before understand how precious trust is? Even if we can't get along as family, we can still be close companions, right? No matter their abilities or personalities, they are quite trustworthy."

"Although it's not nice to say this, this is the first time I've met someone as carefree as you, especially after knowing that I'm a tailed beast—"

After calling out "Three-Tails" from the Tailed Beast Space, Yata lay down on the sea, with a complicated expression on his face. "Especially when you can actually say something like "I don't want to do something as meaningless as having hostility"..."

"Well, because it's really meaningless..." Ling crossed his legs and pulled his combat uniform, which was wet from the mist, uncomfortably. "I'm very busy. I don't like and don't want to do meaningless things."

Yulu tilted his head and thought for a moment before speaking, "Isn't drinking a meaningless thing?"

"That's too much - drinking and fighting are my only two hobbies."

"What about teasing your brother on purpose?"

Ling's voice rose a little, "It's even more outrageous - it's about strengthening the relationship with family and gaining happiness, how can it be said to be meaningless?"

"I don't deny my bad taste."

"Well, because family members shouldn't be deceived, and enemies can't be trusted - so lies are unnecessary."

He snorted and laughed, and shook his tail, "It's all heresy."

While the man and the cat were chatting, the sea surface swelled not far in front of them, and a three-tailed cat with a blue-gray shell and ferocious eyes surfaced.

The chakra reaction that was much stronger than Yalu also attracted Ling's attention immediately. However, when he extended the chakra over, he couldn't help but let out a light exclamation. But before he could speak, the deep and honest voice of Sanwei sounded, "Why did you find a blind man this time? Isn't this... uh, a babysitter?"

Matata was about to start introducing him, but he was also silent for a moment. Then he recalled his decadent life of being treated like a house cat, combing his fur and feeding him. A trace of discomfort appeared on his face. "Half and half... This kid comes from a ninja family, so he still has some basic self-care abilities."

Ling didn't care about the obvious disdain in Sanwei's words. He just reached out and rubbed Youlv's soft hair, chuckling softly, "But actually, if you count carefully, Xiaoyou still takes care of me more, right?"

When Sanwei heard Ling's words, his ferocious eyes immediately fell on Youlv, "You won't tell him your name, right?"

Youlv nodded, looking at Sanwei who didn't know how to express his anxiety and kept slapping the water with his tail, and stretched out his claws to hold down the other's overly agitated tail, "Calm down, I told you, this kid is different."

"Humph! That's what you said when you brought people here hundreds of years ago - look at what that guy did to you!"

Even though it stopped shaking its tail, the chakra surging around the three-tailed beast still stirred up large waves that surged towards the surroundings. As he watched the waves pile up layer upon layer and rush towards the distance with great force, his tone became particularly helpless, "This time is really different. This kid is a descendant of Indra and is very sentimental."

The three-tailed beast was stunned for a moment, but the chakra around it soon surged more violently, "The descendants of those two bastards are even more unreliable!"

Ling, who was sitting on Youlu's back and listening to the noise without being too defensive, was blown away by the sudden burst of chakra. It took him some effort to climb back onto Youlu's back. He leaned close to Youlu's ear and whispered, "Did they have an unpleasant incident?"

"How should I put it... It was not long after Indra and Ashura passed away. Although we were tormented by these two guys, most of us didn't have any bad feelings towards humans, including the raccoon cat who now hates humans - at that time, it was still willing to use sealing techniques to imprison evil spirits to tease children."

Youlu obviously remembered something, and his cat face wrinkled. "Because the people we are familiar with have passed away one after another, we can't help but pay more attention to their descendants. However, the people of Indra are arrogant and indifferent to our goodwill. In addition, they fought for a new leader and controlled us to death. In the end, we completely split up and scattered all over the place.

The Ashura clan did accept our overtures, and if I remember correctly... at that time, you and Ichibi should have chosen to stay with the Uzumaki clan, right?"

"There was also the Eight-Tails, and then the Six-Tails and the Seven-Tails went to find the Senju." The Three-Tails added in a muffled voice, "It was fine at first, but soon people began to fear our power. After the Senju clan learned the power of fairy arts from the Six-Tails and the Seven-Tails, they betrayed the tailed beasts who believed in them and left.

The Uzumaki clan sealed us when we were not prepared. The Eight-Tails escaped thanks to its great power. The One-Tails and I were sealed by them for more than two hundred years before I escaped thanks to the One-Tails' understanding of the seal. During this period, it was normal for my chakra to be extracted or for research. Those Uzumaki clan even used sealing techniques to pluck out my shell to make ninja tools..."

"But isn't the essence of the tailed beast chakra?" Ling asked doubtfully while sitting on Yuta's back, "To make ninja tools, physical substances are needed, right?"

"As long as we stabilize the tailed beast while it's alive, it'll be fine." Looking at the Three-Tails whose chakra was becoming unstable again, Yata patted his head with his claws and took over the conversation, "I remember that their clan has a pot made of the Three-Tails' shell, which can seal the tailed beast very easily - at least I have been sealed by that pot."

"I seem to have heard of it but I don't seem to have any impression of it..." Ling crossed his arms and thought hard for a moment before suppressing this matter in his heart. He was more curious about the old things, "Did the other tailed beasts follow Indra's lineage at that time?"

"Should we say I was controlled and forced to follow... Your Uchiha's eye technique is really difficult to deal with." The brigade commander sighed, "At that time, I was controlled by the Uchiha, but the person who was in charge of controlling me was very soft-hearted. When the Uchiha clan did not need to use my power to fight, he would always let go of my consciousness and actions, and also bring me many interesting little things and tell me about the changes in the outside world...

She was the first human being I told my name to, besides the old man's family. After I told her about the old man's vision, she also said that she would let the clan recognize me as well. "

"Eh - is there such a thing?" Ling was a little surprised. "Then according to the code of conduct of our clan - [return love as much as you receive] - the ancestor should not abandon you."

"This matter is a little complicated... She finally tried to convince your clan to accept me, but she was ultimately unable to withstand the pressure and accusations from the clan, causing her entire spirit to fall into endless self-blame and collapse."

Yalu paused for a moment when he said this. "I remember it very clearly. It was a night with a bright moon. She came to me with bloodshot eyes and tears on her face. She said that she couldn't get others to accept the tailed beasts, so in order to prevent her tribe from hurting me and using me, she had no choice but to drag me to death... After that, even after I was resurrected, I still couldn't figure it out."

Ling: If you can’t protect them, just drag them down with you to die... That’s really the style of their clan.

"So, the descendants of those two bastards Indra and Ashura cannot be trusted at all," Sanwei also responded seriously, "In order to avoid endless troubles in the future, let's get rid of this kid now before he goes crazy."
