"Ling is coming to see me?" Uchiha Masaki looked at Shirley who was treating him with wide eyes, and his tone was full of fear. "Why? Did I go too far and affect the clan?"

"No, it seems that they asked you to investigate the Feathered Clan..." Shirley used her front paws to step on Uchiha Masaki's wound, and green healing chakra continued to flow to Uchiha Masaki with her movements. "By the way, I think Uchiha Ling is a good person - although the contracted ninja cat is a little fierce."

"That's not Ninja Cat..."

"How could it not be? Those different colored eyes, smooth fur, and that proud yet elegant demeanor—" Shirley stood up and said excitedly, "It is undoubtedly Shinobi Cat!"

"That's right - no matter how scared you are of Ling Jun, you wouldn't be so unwilling to admit that Ling has contracted a ninja cat, right?" Uchiha Yingji dropped the corpse in his hand, picked up Shirley and rubbed her, "But why do you want to investigate the Yuyi clan? That clan has nothing to do with us, right?"

"We can't say we have no intersection, right?" Uchiha Masaki bandaged the wound that had been treated and had healed. "Before our clan came to the Land of Fire, the Senju clan and that clan were enemies. At that time, that clan was almost destroyed by the Senju and Uzumaki clan, and they went into hiding. Now we rarely hear about them in the ninja world.

I remember that before the Yugor clan was destroyed by the Senju clan, they still claimed to be the direct descendants of the Six Paths Sage, saying that since the Senju Uzumaki clan considered themselves to be the descendants of Ashura, they were their sub-clan and should obey them..."

"Huh? Who gave them the face?" Uchiha Eiji sat down with Sherryko in his arms. "Even if the Sage of Six Paths really existed, that was many years ago. They keep bragging about their past achievements and deserve the Senju and Uzumaki teaming up to destroy them. What is Ling Jun planning to do now? He actually wants to find such an arrogant and unknown ninja clan."

"Who knows what that guy is thinking all day long..." Uchiha Masaki sighed and stood up. "Let's go to the black market. Waiting for him to come here in a few days should be enough to buy information. Shirley, thank you for your hard work."

"Nothing, nothing!" Sherry rubbed in Uchiha Eider's arms, looking quite enjoying it, "If you really want to thank me, how about introducing Xiaoyou to me? Its beauty is really enough to make cats fall for it!"

Uchiha Masaaki's expression twisted again, "...Believe me, you will regret it."

"Yashu, you're not considering me as your partner!" Sherry turned around and said, "Although I'm much weaker than him, it's great to be with the one I love, even if I'm at a disadvantage in love! How can you not even give me this chance to pursue him! So please introduce him to me! I will overcome the rest of the hardships and difficulties by myself!"

Uchiha Yingji suddenly laughed, "Don't worry, even if Masaaki-kun doesn't help you, I will help you! But that ninja cat is very fierce, you must be prepared to fail!"

"Don't worry! For my elegant and noble love, I will try my best!"

Uchiha Masaki looked at the extremely excited man and cat in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly - should he tell the two people opposite that the cat named Komatsu is not actually a cat but a tailed beast?

Well, today Uchiha Masaki also feels that his life has been shortened because of Ling’s actions.

But no matter how uncomfortable he felt, Uchiha Masaki still suspended his actions against the nobles. While waiting for news from the black market, he couldn't help but wonder why Ling was looking for the Yuyi clan.

But no matter how extraordinary his memory was, he still couldn't squeeze out any connection between his own clan and the other party from the information he had read.

This is why he asked Ling the question the first time he saw him three days later, and Ling's answer was also very simple - [To protect the clan and weaken Qianshou. ]

"I can understand weakening the Senju clan. After all, the two clans have a feud. Everyone knows that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. But protecting the clan?" Uchiha Masaki crossed his arms, his expression slightly unhappy. "When did our clan fall to the point where we need to rely on outsiders for protection?"

"It's not the kind of protection you think. I want to use them as a shield between our clan and the nobles." Ling showed some helplessness on his face. "Not long ago, the daimyo issued a secret mission for our clan to wipe out the Thousand Hands. The clan wanted to turn it down, but they couldn't refuse openly. So my father asked me to try to bring a shield over to see if I can get away with it. After all, the war involved in this kind of mission always takes years to prepare."

"Isn't this pushing you into the fire pit?" Uchiha Masaki frowned even more tightly. "It's fine if you succeed, but if you fail and are exposed - you pretend to obey the orders of the daimyo, and even try to exceed your authority to instigate intrigues, just think about how those nobles will force the clan to hand you over, and then use you as a warning to others."

"Well, well, don't be so serious, Masaaki-kun." Uchiha Yingji hooked his arm around Uchiha Masaaki's shoulder. "The clan won't treat Ling, who has devoted himself to the clan, like that. Besides, since those nobles dared to attack the Thousand Hands, they won't tolerate us for much longer. Think about it, wasn't our clan squeezed out by the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning in this way?"

"It's not that easy to relocate a clan..." Uchiha Masaki was not as optimistic as Uchiha Eideri, but his brows were still relaxed. "But if it really gets to that point, the whole clan will have to relocate - Hey, Ling, have you figured out how to do this?"

"It's just a prototype." Ling tapped the handle of the cane knife lightly, with a smile on his face. "But we have to find a member of the Feathered Clothes tribe first... What information have you got? Tell me about it. Maybe we can easily guide public opinion and get rid of this trouble."
