Chapter 116 Whose Lieutenant Is This? So Fierce!

The moment the sealing techniques on The Nekomata's Journey were lifted, Ling lost control of his body briefly due to the mental shock. Sanshu, which had maintained its summoned state with Ling's chakra, was naturally forced to end the Summoning Technique and was teleported back to the [Uchiha Mansion].

However, it still saw the imposing massive figure of The Nekomata's Journey.

Therefore, the moment it was forced to end the summoning, it immediately tried the reverse summoning to reach Ling's side, but it didn't succeed.

After the unsuccessful attempt at reverse summoning, Sanshu flapped its wings and took off at once. It flew past Izuna, who was walking towards it, and headed straight for the house where Tajima Uchiha was.

Sanshu's abnormal behavior made Izuna a bit uneasy. He immediately chased after Sanshu towards the place where Tajima Uchiha was.

Inside the house, Tajima Uchiha was handling clan affairs while teaching Yata new grammar and some seal runes commonly used by the clan when transmitting messages.

Sanshu crashed through the paper sliding door and rushed into the room, which startled a man and a crow. However, since Sanshu often did such things on weekdays, neither of them paid much attention.

Tajima Uchiha even smiled helplessly. "What's wrong? So reckless?"

"Caw! Crisis! A great crisis!" Sanshu pounced directly on Tajima Uchiha. Its sharp claws even tore the documents on the table because it stopped too abruptly. "The [Land of Lightning]! [Thunder Gorge]! In crisis!"

Hearing this, Tajima Uchiha's face instantly turned cold. He didn't care about the documents on the table, and his voice was a bit urgent. "Tell me in detail."

Sanshu then quickly and briefly recounted that Ling had somehow found an ugly cat with a seal on it and intended to sign a summoning contract with it. Consequently, after removing the seal, he was overwhelmed by the cat's chakra and lost control of his body. Currently, they couldn't reach him at all.

Tajima Uchiha's face instantly turned solemn. "What does that summoned beast look like? Can you estimate its strength?"

"Caw, impossible to estimate! Just the leaked chakra was suffocating! Its form was like a towering mountain, far beyond human strength to oppose!"

This implied that the situation was probably grim. The only reason no conclusion had been drawn was that the summoning contract between Sanshu and Yata hadn't been broken.

Izuna, who had chased Sanshu all the way and heard the whole story, turned as pale as a sheet. He was about to start taking [missions] as a real [ninja]. Naturally, he understood what Sanshu meant.

But when he wanted to say something, he couldn't make a sound at all. He could only stare blankly up at Father, whose face was solemn.

The back of Father's hand holding the pen was tense with veins, but his expression remained calm. He just put down the pen that was on the verge of breaking, put on his [haori], and stood up. "I understand. I'll send someone to investigate and offer support."

When Father passed by him, Izuna subconsciously reached out and grabbed the corner of his father's clothes. Even though he tried hard to hide it, he still couldn't conceal the tremor in his voice. "...Is something wrong with [big brother]?"

Tajima Uchiha paused in his movement, reaching out to ruffle his youngest son's hair. "It's all right. Ling always has a good sense of measure... I'll be back shortly."

However, his somewhat hasty steps betrayed the unease in his heart.

Izuna got even more antsy. He could only look at the two crows on the table, chatting in crow language, hoping to get some information from them to ease his unease.

But after the two crows exchanged information, Yata flapped its wings and flew away. Sanshu briefly comforted Izuna and then followed Yata out of the window.

Being left alone in the room, Izuna clenched his fists tightly. After a brief silence, he slapped his cheeks hard to cheer himself up. Then he went back into the room, rummaged out his ninja tool pouch, and ran towards the training ground.

He really wanted to become stronger as soon as possible so that he could help in such situations, instead of being comforted by everyone and being left out, only hating his own weakness.

[Big brother...]Izuna gritted his teeth tightly, his knuckles turning pale.[Please stay safe.]

...

Uchiha Hiro scowled as he looked at the papers that were scattered all over the floor after the crows barged in. His face darkened. "Those were the research data I just organized. You'd better really have something important to say."

"Sorry for my rudeness, but the situation is really urgent! *caws*" Yata bowed its head slightly. "Could you please use a summoned beast to inform the team in the Land of Lightning, Lord Hiro?"

Uchiha Hiro frowned even more tightly, but his expression became solemn. "What happened?"

Although Yata was anxious, it knew the importance of explaining the situation clearly. After a moment of thought, it said, "Well, *caws*..."

As he listened to Yata's description, Uchiha Hiro's face became darker and darker. He picked up a pen and paper and wrote while listening. When Yata finished speaking, he finished writing the last stroke. Then he immediately formed Hand Seals to summon Yukimaru.

Seeing Uchiha Hiro's dark face, Yukimaru stopped the complaint that was about to come out and obediently listened to his new mission. It bit the small bamboo tube with the information in its mouth and dispelled the summoning.

After sending Yukimaru away, Uchiha Hiro immediately got up and walked out. Yata immediately flew up and landed on him. "Thank you for your help. Who will receive the letter on the other side?"

"It's Yakuki," Uchiha Hiro climbed out of the window and ran towards the meeting hall along the rooftops. "From what you said, it seems that Ling has provoked a very powerful summoned beast.

In a situation where one wants to deal with a summoned beast but it's difficult to assemble a team, the Mangekyo Sharingan is undoubtedly the best choice.

There are only a few Mangekyo Sharingan users in the clan currently. Since this is an unreported support mission involving another country, the well - known Mangekyo Sharingan users in the clan are not suitable, and only Akihiko and I are appropriate.

I'm going to ask my Jiji for a special approval order now. You go to Akihiko and tell him to get ready and wait for me. Then we'll set off immediately - even if we can't save the person in the end, we'll find that summoned beast and tear it to pieces.

"

 "Got it, caw!" Yata flapped its wings and took off. "I'll go right away."

 ...

 Ling slumped in the furry warmth and took a long time to gradually regain control of his body. However, the chakra in his body was still difficult to circulate smoothly.

 "Humph~ Kid, you're recovering quite fast~" The Nekomata's Journey stared at Ling, who was bending down to stretch his legs and loosen up. "For a human, your physical fitness is quite good."

 "Is it good…" Ling let out a long breath and stood up, moving his stiff joints. "I still think it's far from enough."

 "Humph~ Greedy kid." The Nekomata's Journey wagged its tail and lazily squinted its heterochromatic cat eyes. "Even though you're not in a good state to sign a summoning contract right now, you should be able to use chakra, shouldn't you?"

 "Yeah, I can." Ling raised his hand to massage his temples. His intuition was still frantically sending him signals of danger, but his body was no longer in a tense state. "I should summon Sanshu back and report my safety to the clan."

 "That's what you should do," The Nekomata's Journey nodded in agreement. "Given your Uchiha temperaments, if that crow blabs something it shouldn't, I'll be in deep trouble - your Uchiha Sharingan is really a pain."

 Ling also nodded and started to form Hand Seals to attempt a summoning. However, due to the turbulent chakra in his body, he failed after trying three or four times.

 Just when Ling was about to wait a little longer, a puff of white smoke suddenly exploded in the air. Sanshu's figure rushed towards The Nekomata's Journey lying on one side like a black arrow. "Caw! You ugly cat! If you've got the nerve, come at me, you jerk!"
