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

"You bastard! Stay away from my brother!"

Ling couldn't help but lower his head when he heard the voice, and urged softly, "Hey, Hong, are you ready? I told you to go inside and do it... How are you going to let me explain it later?"

Uchiha Hiro turned around to look at Madara who was covering Izuna's eyes and looked extremely angry. He sneered and turned his head back, "What's there to explain? He's already a ninja, he's not blind, how can he not tell what I'm doing to you? Open it up a little more and turn around."

Ling sighed and cooperated resignedly, "That's why I told you to take off your clothes properly..."

"Really! Onii-sama, please stop cooperating with that guy!"

Izuna, who had covered her eyes as soon as she arrived at the door of her house and could not see anything, could not help but fall into confusion after hearing this. She raised her hand and tugged at Madara's sleeve, "Hey, Madara, what's going on? What happened to the elder brother and the others? What are you cooperating with?"

Madara looked down at Izuna, then looked up at the two people over there who were acting without any scruples. He gritted his teeth, picked up Izuna, and quickly ran towards the house, "Just wait for me!"

Listening to the deliberately heavier pace, Uchiha Hong showed a disgusted expression, "Your brother is really prone to anger, which is completely unlike you - you are simply a guy who can be manipulated at will when you are not on missions or during training."

"No, I just don't want to waste time on useless arguments. Anyway, you are the type who won't give up until you achieve your goal... Are you not done yet?" Ling sighed, "At least end it before Madara rushes out and gets angry again?"

"Alright, I just knew to urge you..." Uchiha Hong pouted and took back his hand. "There are only slight cracks on your ribs now, and your muscles are in completely normal condition - but how should I put it? You are slightly rejecting healing chakra, so it may be difficult to treat your injuries in the future...

But what worries me most is that your recovery speed is too fast, abnormally fast, almost catching up with the Thousand Hands I interrogated last time - I guess you should have used the lightning chakra to stimulate your cells to undergo a small evolution by mistake, but this acquired body activity..."

……

Madara was almost pissed off by Ling's peers.

It’s bad enough that they all pestered his brother, but now they dared to be so rude to him?! The most important thing is that his brother actually spoiled them so much?! If someone of his generation dared to do this to him, Madara would give him two slaps in the face no matter what! !

[No, I can't let my brother tolerate them like this anymore! A kind person is often bullied, and a kind horse is often ridden. My brother is just too pampering with them!! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻]

After quickly settling the confused Izuna, Madara rushed to the door like a gust of wind, thinking about what he should do to successfully stab the "second of the same generation". However, just as he walked to the door, he heard the conversation between the two people -

"——But this kind of acquired body activity will also greatly reduce a person's lifespan. Compared with your original body, you will lose at least five or six years of life, right?"

Madara's movement to rush out suddenly froze.

[Lost life? Onii-sama? Was it because of that [competition]? But why did it happen like this…]

Madara's eyes flushed a little red, and blue blood vessels appeared one by one on the back of his hand as the hand holding the knife exerted more force. But just as black dots appeared in his pupils and were about to form magatama, Ling's voice came immediately -

"Ah - I never expected this! I was wondering how quickly I could adapt to my body this time! Isn't this a blessing in disguise?"

"Tsk - you're just being ungrateful after getting an advantage."

"Hey~ I made so much money this time, I really want to show off."

The scarlet in Madara's eyes suddenly faded away, replaced by full of surprise.

[Why...? Why are you still so happy and even want to show off after knowing that you have lost your life? Isn't it possible that you are not angry or regretful at all, my brother? ]

At this time, Ling outside tilted his head towards Madara with a smile on his face, "Madara, if you want to listen, just come out and listen. I don't have any reason to hide from you."

Uchiha Hong glanced at the confused Madara, and couldn't help but grab Ling's arm again, studying the changes in his body, "Tsk tsk, if I didn't have lightning attribute chakra, I would have wanted to try this once, the benefits outweigh the risks."

Madara's eyebrows almost twisted together, "Why? Wouldn't it shorten your lifespan? Why would you do this? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Uchiha Hiro sneered, "Afraid of death? Go out and ask now, if using lightning chakra to tear apart all the muscles in your body and make it worse than death once can gain twice the recovery ability comparable to the Thousand Hands, no, comparable to the Thousand Hands is not quite right, how many clansmen will choose to try it? I don't need to think to know that at least 90% of them will choose to try it without hesitation."

Ling also laughed, "Hong is right. Only five or six years of life can be exchanged for such a strong body recovery ability. Everyone in the tribe will want to try it."

Madara walked to Ling and raised his hand to knock away Uchiha Hong's hand that was still touching him. "Brother, I still don't understand... Didn't Brother always say that life is precious? But this is wasting life, right?"

Ling reached out and rubbed the top of Madara's head, with a gentle smile on his face, "Does Madara know the average lifespan of us ninjas?"

"...No, I'm not sure, but a person can live to be fifty or sixty, right?"

"That's right and wrong. Humans can live up to 50 or 60 years, but the average age of ninjas like us is less than 30 years old," Ling withdrew his hand and sighed, "and this is not the average lifespan of our clan, but the average lifespan of ninjas in the entire ninja world... It's not that we don't live long, but this fierce conflict has destined us to have a short lifespan."

"Only...thirty?"

Uchiha Hiro also spoke again at this time, "He is less than 30 years old. When a ninja reaches a certain age, his body functions will decline. Now that the conflict is so intense, physical decline is a death sentence.

Although it is a pity to lose five years of life, this five-year [small loss] may help us live to forty or even fifty years old...Rather than worrying about an unnecessary life span, it is more important to survive - isn't it?"

Madara opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but couldn't find the right words for a long time.

[Rather than worrying about an unnecessary lifespan, is it more important to survive...? ]

Seeing Madara in a trance, Uchiha Hong brought up the topic again, "By the way, Ling, can you sort out your method? I think it can be promoted if we are well prepared."

"Hmm..." Ling touched his chin, "It's hard to say. My chakra was out of control at that time, so it would be difficult to replicate it...

But I will try my best, even if it can only benefit the tribesmen with lightning attributes. It is also good. By the way, Hong, do you want to go to the Land of Lightning with me later?"

"I don't mind, but what are you doing in that remote place?"

"Hey, don't talk about the ancestral land like that... I remember seeing in the clan file before that there seems to be a ninja clan there that always uses lightning chakra to strengthen their bodies. I want to try to steal their skills. And aren't you also short of water-attribute ninjutsu? The environment there is humid, and there are quite a lot of people with water-attribute ninjutsu..."

"Stop talking nonsense. I don't believe your purpose is so simple." Uchiha Hong curled his lips, "What are you going to do?"

"Hmm - how should I put it? I think the situation over there is too comfortable, right?" Ling laughed, "How can it be so comfortable with the Kaguya clan around? This doesn't fit their character - right?"

"Humph~ You are really a lunatic, but I'll take this job." The smile on Uchiha Hiro's face became more and more sarcastic, "How dare you provoke Uchiha? You are such a fool."

"Well, well... calling them dogs is too much," Ling shook his head, speaking gently, "Puppies are cute, aren't they? They are too pitiful for you to call them that."

"...You are the one who is going the wrong way." Uchiha Hiro snorted, "Forget it, they are bastards or worse than dogs. It has nothing to do with me. I will be in the medical department from now on. Just come find me when you are ready."

Listening to the two men deciding to go to the Land of Lightning to cause trouble for the Kaguya clan in a few words, Madara was still a little stunned. After watching Uchiha Hong leave, he looked at Ling and asked, "Are we going to go to war with the Kaguya clan next?"

"No, no, the Kaguya clan is still difficult to deal with. We have no reason to actively make enemies." Ling stretched out his hand and ruffled Madara's hair. "I just happened to need some lightning-attributed mystical arts and went to the Land of Lightning. I happened to encounter the Kaguya clan making trouble, and I happened to be accidentally involved and killed [a few] people."

Madara: ...You really have such a strong murderous intent [just right].

However, Ban didn't think there was anything wrong. He just nodded, then forced Ling back to the house and asked him to stop practicing and have a good rest.

But near evening, Uchiha Akihiko came over. Izuna, who opened the door, didn't look happy at all. She looked up at him angrily and said, "Why do you always come to our house when we are having dinner? What do you want to do to my brother this time?"

Uchiha Akihiko was able to lift Izuna up and walk in, but thinking about what happened not long ago, he still felt a little guilty, and immediately coughed dryly, "I promise that I will only delay you for a short while this time, really, I swear on my Sharingan."

Izuna puffed up her face and looked at Uchiha Akihiko for a long time before she moved away, her voice a little sullen, "Come in... I'm telling you, father is here today too. If you dare to do anything to my brother, I'll go find father and have him deal with your father."

Hearing this, Uchiha Akihiko smiled more and raised his hands to Izuna, "Yes, yes... I will definitely not touch Ling even half a finger this time."

"Hmph, you'd better... My brother is in his room. Do you want me to lead the way?"

"No, don't bother. This is not my first time here. I will leave after I finish talking about things. I won't be delayed for too long." Uchiha Akihiko's smile turned bitter. He squatted down and rubbed the top of Izuna's head. "Hey, Izuna... your brother is really amazing. This time, he walked ahead of us again."

Izuna looked at Uchiha Akihiko's back with a confused expression, muttering, "What? Of course I know my brother is very powerful... It's inexplicable. Oh! By the way, Madara-kun is still in the kitchen! I have to go help him."

Having said that, Izumi closed the door quickly and trotted towards the kitchen.

On the other side, Uchiha Akihiko also opened Ling's door after knocking, and saw Ling sitting behind the desk, holding a bamboo book and reading the contents by touching it. He raised his head when he heard the sound from here, "Is it Madara? I'm about to finish this paragraph, wait for me a moment."

"not me."

Ling was stunned for a moment, then he released his chakra to sense the outside world, and then his smile widened a little, "Zhao Yan, are you healed?"

"No, I don't have your strange recovery ability. My wound is still painful." Uchiha Akihiko walked over to sit opposite Ling, "I came to you to talk to you about the Mangekyō Sharingan..."

"I see." Ling closed the bamboo book and sat up straighter. "Tell me about it? I'll listen carefully."

"Yesterday, the elders called me to look at the stone tablet that is said to record the clan's secrets... To be honest, I felt a little uncomfortable after learning about it." Uchiha Akihiko let out a long sigh, "It records that the eye power of the Mangekyō Sharingan cannot be replenished, and every use will make the owner further blind.

It also describes how to evolve the Mangekyō Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, so that one can use the power of the pupil without limit and completely control that power..."

Feeling Uchiha Akihiko's silence, Ling's smile faded a little, "Is it a bad way to evolve?"

"Well... in order to evolve the Mangekyō Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, one must obtain another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan of the same bloodline, and then dig out one pair of eyes and transplant it into the eye sockets of another person. The other person will then use chakra to guide the two pairs of eyes along a fixed route, so that the two pairs of eyes can merge and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan can be obtained."

Uchiha Akihiko lowered his head and looked at his hands. "How ironic! This power was awakened to protect my loved ones, but if I want to use this power without scruples, I have to sacrifice another loved one."

"Hmm...something is indeed not right." Ling also looked a little distressed, "Although it sounds like that."

Uchiha Akihiko's expression was full of sarcasm. "Now I am curious about how many brothers the ancestor who discovered this had to die, and what kind of thoughts he had when he discovered this... Using relatives to exchange for power, huh, bullshit power."

"Hmm... I've also seen that stone tablet, but it should only say that the Uchiha clan will gain more powerful power under chance..." Ling frowned, "Is it because the power of the Magatama Sharingan and the Mangekyō Sharingan is different?"

Uchiha Akihiko nodded, his mood was not high. "Well, what you see with the Magatama Sharingan and the Mangekyō Sharingan are completely different. The stone tablet also records many eye techniques that the Mangekyō Sharingan can use, and the Mangekyō that has appeared in the past generations, so it should not be fake."

"Is that so..." Ling crossed his arms, thought for a moment, then looked up at Uchiha Akihiko, "So... what is Akihiko's decision?"
