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

"I say, Ling, there is something I am very concerned about—"

"Huh? What?"

"You just told Naruto that 80% of the Uchiha are easy to fool, so what about the remaining 20%?"

"The remaining 20%..." Ling showed a bit of helplessness on his face, "15% of them will foolishly follow you even without being deceived, and as for the last half... they can barely be called ordinary and easy to deceive."

Uzumaki Yi's mouth twitched slightly, "You have such a low opinion of your own family members... Then what category does Ling belong to? Is he half-perfect?"

“No, I’m 80%—” Ling sighed, raised his finger and pointed at his eyes, and looked at Xuwo Yi with a complicated expression, “Although you may not believe it, the reason why I was able to open my eyes despite being blind is not only because I did not lose my pupil power when I was blind, and the evolution of pupil power does not require vision, but also because I believed my companion’s words that were just to cheer me up, and I firmly believed that I could obtain the Kaleidoscope... Now that I think about it, it was really stupid.”

Xuanwo Yi glanced at Ling - So it seems that your gullibility is only limited to improving your strength?

With a slight sigh, Xuanwo Yi suppressed the complaint that was about to come out, and looked up at the puppet that was flying back and forth above their heads, "Well, anyway, we followed your command. How about we go directly to the dragon vein now, ask for the reason, and let it send us back?"

Ling nodded slightly, "Well, after all, I don't know if time will pass in the era we are in when we come here, so I want to go back as soon as possible. After all, I can't feel the other half of the spiritual contract now. If Yata and Sanzu know what I am doing and tell the tribe... To be honest, I can't imagine that a few Mangekyōs will go to the Whirlpool Country to make trouble."

Xuwo Yi immediately became solemn, "This is indeed worth worrying about - how can I help you?"

Ling Yao looked at the tall tower in the center of the city and frowned slightly, "The dragon vein is in that direction. Can you make a stronger shielding spell? Otherwise, these puppets will be in the way."

"Of course I can, but even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. I really can't find the right materials in a short period of time, unless you are willing to let me set up the sealing technique directly on you - but..."

Uzumaki Yi once again looked up at the puppets spinning around above them, his expression indescribable, "But now I can understand what Hashirama said about [Uchiha Ling is particularly favored by natural energy] - in a sense, your attraction to non-human intelligent beings really shocks me."

"I'll just assume you're praising me..." Ling sighed and raised his head, with some sadness in his eyes, "Really, there's no way to move forward like this."

"Why don't you just go ahead?"

"Huh? Are you kidding me?"

“Don’t look at me like that. You’re going to see the dragon vein anyway. I think that facing the dragon vein, which can be called the embodiment of world consciousness, there is not much difference between you taking the initiative to go and being caught—” Uzumaki Yi spread his hands, “After all, you see, they only touch us once and can let us travel through time and space, right?

What's the point of you wanting to take the lead in this absolute power gap? It only makes sense to fight for the lead in events through calculations between people of similar power."

Then Xu Tuo Yi saw Ling retract his gaze, pursed his lips briefly, and fell silent. After a long while, he spoke in a muffled voice, "Then how are you going to catch up?"

"Hey, I said Ling..."

"Ok?"

"You're not being coquettish with me, are you?"

Ling raised his eyes to look at Xu Wei Yi who had a strange expression on his face, and after a brief eye contact, he lowered his eyes again, "...If you say so, then so be it."

"No, no, no, that's not right—" Xuwo Yi changed direction and bent over to look at Ling's expression, "You are definitely just acting like a spoiled child, right? If not, you would have said it directly—and you would definitely have called me a sick person with no sense of shame."

Ling twitched his lips, "You are more sick now."

Uzumaki Yi crossed his arms, with a smile that had a hint of evilness on his face. "Well, you're starting to avoid the topic. If you can explain clearly, then I swear in the name of Uzumaki that I will never trip you up again before we break away from the Dragon Vein's control!"

"..."

"Well, you still don't want to say it?" Xuanwo Yi followed Ling and turned in another direction again, "In exchange, I will help you wholeheartedly!"

After a moment of silence, Ling sighed, raised his eyes to look at the interested Uzumaki Yi, and lowered his eyes after a brief eye contact, "...If I can, I don't want to rely on you, but I have no choice when I have to face an enemy without any ability to resist - at least if something unexpected happens, you can still help me collect the body, right?"

"Then why don't you say it more bluntly? For example, [Brother Yi, please help me] or something like that! In that case, I will be happy to help you!"

"What kind of evil taste do you have?"

“If I must say it—” Uzumaki Yi stretched out his voice and laughed out loud, “Seeing you being humiliated like this will give me a special sense of accomplishment! After all, when we were your current age, I truly hated you for everything you left me!”

Ling took a step back with a look of disgust, "It's just as bad taste as your habit of giving nicknames... Do you really have no sense of shame?"

"Rather than feeling ashamed, I still think it's more fun to see you get humiliated like this!"

Ling looked at Xuanwo Yi's excited and expectant look, and couldn't help but take another step back. After a moment of stalemate, he lowered his head and whispered, "...Help me."

"Hmm? I didn't hear the first part clearly?"

Ling Bie started, his voice a little louder, "Yi... help me."

"Hey - the middle part seems to have been omitted again!"

"easy……"

"Can you only call out names this time?"

"No, I just suddenly felt that it would be quicker to kill you to avoid being stabbed."

"I know, I know - no more jokes, in short, don't be careless. If anything unexpected happens, Ling and I will work together to find a solution, hahaha!"

Looking at Ling who was glaring at him with his Sharingan, looking unfriendly and slowly drawing his sword, Yi raised his hands, smiled and took two steps back, then raised his thumbs, "So, don't be nervous, just trust your abilities as usual! You must know that you are recognized as the best of your generation, and you are also my recognized friend and opponent, and you are also the notorious Yesha!"

"If you really want to help me, don't do these useless things at this time—" Ling let out a long breath, raised his hand to take off the amulet that Xuanwo Yi had given him before, which was used to isolate the puppet from tracking him. He looked up at the sky, and after a brief silence, he tightened his palm and crushed it. Looking at the puppet that instantly found its target and swooped down, he smiled, "But I received your kindness, thank you."
