Feeling the chakra getting closer and closer to him, Ling felt confused. Logically, when seeing a stranger appear near the tribe, shouldn't he analyze the target intelligence and report back immediately? Why did you walk towards the suspicious person after analyzing it?

[Today I finally understand what it means to have a road to heaven but no door to hell...] ​​Ling sighed in his heart and silently moved the cane and sword to his left hand, [What a waste of my rare kindness.]

Qian Shouqin did not try to hide his movements, so he stopped immediately after seeing Ling's reaction. "I have no ill intentions. Are you a wandering warrior? It's very dangerous here. Don't stay here."

Ling paused in his attack and looked up at the person who came. "…Why do you say that?"

The murderous intent surrounding him made Qian Shouqin feel like he was falling into an icy cave. He felt his vocal cords tighten and his legs were incredibly weak, but he still spoke stubbornly, "Anyway, it's very dangerous. I have made an appointment with others to train here. You won't be able to leave when they get here. Just keep walking down the river and you will be able to leave Nanhe River..."

Ling laughed, "Haha... I just can't see, I'm not stupid. If your voice is shaking like this, don't tell people such a clumsy lie... But you said the two tribes in Nanhechuan - doesn't this mean they can't keep you? After all, the ninja's tracking methods are very powerful..."

The two were silent, but Qian Shouqin couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't run away. Instead, he sat down with his knees hugged and buried his head like an ostrich. "...Then go ahead. I'm no match for you anyway."

But after he said this, Qianshouqin found that the murderous intent of the man opposite him suddenly decreased. He subconsciously looked up, only to find that the young man was looking at him with his head tilted. Although his face was expressionless, Qianshouqin could feel the doubt conveyed by the other party.

Thinking of this, Qian Shouqin calmed down, but his words were full of self-mockery, "Anyway, I don't have any family, I don't have many friends, and my fighting ability is too weak. I will die sooner or later on the battlefield..."

Hearing this, Ling was a bit amused and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. "Can't you struggle a little longer? What if I soften my heart after you beg for mercy? It's really unacceptable for a ninja to have such a weak fighting will..."

"Teacher once said that when facing an enemy, the most useless thing is to beg for mercy." Qian Shouqin raised his head and glanced at Ling, then quickly lowered his head again, saying in a low voice, "I don't want to die so uselessly... although I am indeed useless...

This world is so annoying... I don't want to fight at all. Why can't we live together in peace? And it's really hard to live alone. If possible, I really want to find everyone sooner..."

Listening to the sobbing in his ears, Ling reached out and turned his roasted rabbit over after a brief silence. "To be honest, I don't like this world very much, but I don't hate it as much as you do and even want to give up my life... After all, there are too many things I don't want to give up and too many things I want to do."

"Then you are really strong enough to be envied..." Qian Shouqin sniffed, but his eyes fell on the roasted rabbit with yellow skin and oozing fat, "Hey...can I be a full ghost?"

As he spoke, Qian Shouqin's stomach rumbled appropriately.

"Pfft, hahahaha——what an unexpected statement hahaha. You're not begging for mercy but wanting a good meal?" Ling placed the cane and knife that had been standing beside him horizontally on his legs, "Forget it, forget it, today I, the executioner, will be merciful and let you go."

Looking at Ling, who had a bright smile and suddenly lost his murderous intent, Qianshouqin felt his mind was a mess. Just as he was about to say something, his stomach growled even louder.

After a brief silence, Qianshou Qin listened to the loud laughter coming from his ears and buried his head even lower.

"What's going on? Does the food I cooked smell delicious?" Ling said lazily, accompanied by the crackling sound of burning wood. His gentle and smiling voice had a relaxing magic. "When you're not against us, you're still pretty cute—"

"To... go against you?"

"Hmm - let me think about it," Ling stroked his chin, "That guy named Cheng should have completed his mission and returned. Could it be that he didn't bring back my news?"

Qianju Qin suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his pupils shrank suddenly, "Uchiha Ling!?"

Ling neither agreed nor denied, but just laughed softly, looking extremely happy, "How about it? When you go back, you can brag to your tribe members, "I am a strong man who was able to escape from that devil's hand and forced him to cook for me" - something like that, isn't it great?"

But Senju Qin's cheeks flushed because of Ling's words, "I don't want Uchiha's pity!"

"Really? Then do you still want to eat the roast rabbit? It's almost ready, right?"

"You can't bribe me! You cunning——"

But Qianshouqin's stomach obviously did not have his backbone. It started to growl before he finished speaking, and it seemed to be in an attitude that if he didn't give him food, he would not stop.

“Hahahaha—I can’t take it anymore, I really can’t take it anymore hahahaha—” Ling raised his hand to his forehead, “You guys are so interesting when you’re not opponents, aren’t you? In just a few days, I’ve met two such interesting little guys hahaha—well, but no matter how interesting you are, it’s better to run away if you see me on the battlefield.”

Senju Qin was quite annoyed, holding his stomach and puffing his face, trying to look fierce, but after seeing the silk cloth used to cover Ling's eyes, he lost his temper again, "... Senju and Uchiha are enemies, right? Why do you let me go? Or do you mean that I am not even worth being killed?"

"Didn't I say it? Even if I, the executioner, pretend to be kind today." Ling still smiled, "And don't say anything careless. Where are the Senju and Uchiha here?"

"Isn't it——"

"No, no, no—" Ling shook his finger, "Today, there is only an idiotically naive kid and a young wandering warrior here, okay?"

Senju Qin was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Ling had not said any words related to Senju and Uchiha from beginning to end, he was the only one who was talking.

"The roasted rabbit should be ready. Let's go home after we finish eating. Go home. Even if there's no one waiting for you at home, it at least carries the good memories of you and your family. Don't give up so easily."

Ling stood up, took his things, and waved at the stunned Qian Shouqin, "Also, don't say things like "It doesn't matter if I die early". Your relatives fought desperately not for you to go find them so soon...

Besides, kid, life is not cheap. Once you lose it, you can’t get it back. Besides, you are alone now, so at least you should be nicer to yourself.”
