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

The Uzumakis discovered that ever since the family head was called back by the blind Uchiha for a private talk that day, the atmosphere between the two had become somewhat indescribably subtle.

Xuanwo Yi, who used to chase Ling and talk about this and that, seemed to suddenly remember his responsibilities as the clan leader. He followed the team every day to give orders. Only when Ling greeted him would he avoid the main group and talk with others. But every time he came back from a conversation, his expression was far from relaxed.

On the contrary, Ling's expression became more and more excited during the conversations, and he talked to Xuanwo Yi more and more frequently.

The Whirlpools were all confused as they saw the current situation was completely the opposite of what they had experienced when they came here, but they did not dare to really interfere with the behavior of the Kaleidoscope. In the end, they could only watch their family head's brows frowning more and more tightly day by day.

Finally, Uzumaki couldn't stand it anymore. After Ling came to talk to Uzumaki Yi again, he pulled the frowning Uzumaki Yi to the other side and said, "What on earth is that Uchiha saying to you? Can't you just tell us so that our clansmen can help you share the burden?"

Uzumaki Yi raised his hand and pinched his brow, "No, I can't tell you about this - because I never wanted to agree to it from the beginning, so I naturally don't need your help."

"So that Uchiha has been trying to get you to help him these days?"

"...No, on the contrary, except for the first day, he has been persuading me not to stand on his side when the time comes."

Uzumaki paused, then slowly drew a question mark in his mind, "…Then what are you worried about?"

Uzumaki Yi was silent for a long time this time, "Because he is the only Uchiha I can trust."

Uzumaki Osamu didn't understand at first, but after he realized what was happening, he became increasingly terrified, and his voice, which he had deliberately lowered to a level, became shrill, "The relationship between the three tribes has already entered a delicate testing period. What on earth does that lunatic want to do?!"

"...He wants to thoroughly purge those who have hatred towards the three tribes, and he needs a sacrifice for this." Uzumaki Yi closed his eyes. "I just can't figure it out. Why does he choose a radical method when it can be done by just following the procedures? Maybe I don't know him well enough."

"I understand. I won't tell this to my tribe members. What about the trip to the deserted village? Who are you going to take with you?"

"I can take Ling with me, and let Yang stay behind to guide you. You can take the tribe members back to the tribe as usual and deal with the stripped tailed beast chakra and natural chakra."

Uzumaki clicked his tongue, "You trusted that blind...that Uchiha too much, didn't you?"

"It is because of this trust that I am suffering so much right now—" Uzumaki Yi raised his hand and pinched his brows, "This matter ends here."

Seeing Uzumaki Yi's firm attitude, Uzumaki Osamu could only sigh, "...I know, I won't tell anyone else. Be careful when the time comes, he is an Uchiha after all."

"Ah, I know."

So after the two of them talked, there was another sad-looking Uzumaki in the Uzumaki team. Uzumaki Yang tried to learn some inside information from Uzumaki Osamu, but unfortunately Uzumaki Osamu kept his mouth shut. Until they arrived near the deserted village in River Country, Uzumaki Yang was unable to ask anything. He could only watch in confusion as Uzumaki Osamu led his people away, while he was left behind to [guard the gate].

"No, we are all from the same period, and I am also a key player in the tribe. Did you two just discuss this without telling me?!"

"Hmm? Yang, do you want to lead the tribe back to deal with the affairs?" Uzumaki Yi added a seal to himself for protection, with a relaxed look, "In that case, Zhi hasn't gone far, you can go and bring her back!"

"That's not what I meant--" Uzumaki Yang sighed, stretching out his voice, "You obviously agreed on this a few days ago, right? At least tell me then? I could have prepared something in advance to help you guard it. Isn't it too hasty now?"

"Probably not. We will be out in a week at most. We don't need to prepare too well!" After saying that, Uzumaki Yi looked at Yi Ling, "Do you want me to help you with the sealing technique for protection? I swear in the name of Uzumaki that I won't do anything! Yang won't do it either!"

"No, forget it for now. I want to feel how dense the natural energy you mentioned is... If anything happens, I will ask for help in time." Ling shook his head and frowned slightly. "But is the deserted village really here? The natural energy around here is not as dense as you said. It can even be said to be... a little thin?"

“Well, you’ll experience this once you cross the barrier set up by our clan,” Uzumaki Yi checked the seal on his body again, then took out the scroll with the basic runes drawn on it and began to process it, “Wait for me to make some more preparations - these protective seals can only be cast instantly with the help of scrolls!”

Ling nodded slightly, with no intention of urging him, but just walked around the area anxiously to distinguish the concentration of natural energy around him.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Xuanwo Yi was finally satisfied with his preparations. After saying hello to Xuanwo Yang, he set off with Ling.

The journey was not very tortuous, and it could even be said to be flat all the way, except when passing through a canyon, where the road was a little rugged because the passage was too narrow.

And when he crossed this rugged terrain and the seal of the Uzumaki clan, Ling understood why Uzumaki Yi had repeatedly emphasized the special nature of the deserted village to him and left multiple layers of protection for himself before entering.

The rich natural energy is not only far superior to the holy land of Wet Bone Forest, but is even about to surpass the dragon veins. It is so rich that even breathing feels like being immersed in warm water - but this is just the norm in this area!

[No wonder Yi said that the bodies of people here would be deformed... This is just like people living in cold regions are more resistant to cold - are they shaped by the environment?] Ling shook his head vigorously, [Damn it, even breathing is difficult, but the body and mind are in a high state of happiness, and the things I perceive are also emitting happiness. Is it affected by natural energy?]

On the other side, Xuanwo Yi looked at Ling, who was staggering with a flushed face as if drunk, and felt secretly amused, "How about it? You want me to help you...what are you going to do?"

Hearing Xuanwo Yi's surprised voice, Ling couldn't help but laugh softly, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just shook his head and hummed something softly.

Xuwo Yi looked at Ling who was acting nervous, raised his hand and touched his chin, and was about to say something when he heard a loud shout not far away -

"It's you freaks that are haunting us again! How far do you want to push us before you give up?"
