Chapter 120 Ling Thinks Whether the Nekomata Is Really a Cat Is Really Worth Discussing
"Tailed Beast Ball, huh..." Ling raised his hand to suppress the goosebumps on his arm. "What a terrifying power."
"Of course," The Nekomata's Journey lifted its chin. "What do you think the Tailed Beasts are?"
Ling chuckled and stroked The Nekomata's Journey's fur. "In that case, haven't I provoked a truly formidable creature?"
The Nekomata's Journey let out a snort. "It's too late to regret now, kid."
"Why should I regret?" Ling looked at the collapsing world and reached out to rub the incredibly soft fur. "It should be you who shouldn't regret choosing a Uchiha..."
The Nekomata's Journey didn't say a word, but the way its tail tip curled up again clearly showed that it was in a good mood. When the world had collapsed until only the area beneath their feet remained, a continuous stream of scarlet chakra radiated from The Nekomata's Journey's body, spreading and transforming at an astonishing speed to reconstruct this spiritual world.
However, this newly reconstructed world...
Ling looked at the ground which seemed like a fluffy cushion enlarged a thousand - fold. The surroundings were enclosed. He tilted his head slightly and thought, '[This kind of change... Is it a cat's nest? Ah, there are wool balls. It's becoming more and more like a cat's nest.]'
Ling folded his arms and thought it was really worth discussing whether the Nekomata was really a cat or not.
After stretching lazily, The Nekomata's Journey lay down on the spot. "Humph~ I didn't expect the priestesses of the Ghost Country to be able to utilize the sealing techniques to such an extent. Not bad."
"Eh... So this is also a sealing technique." Ling slid off The Nekomata's Journey. "So, does that mean the Uzumaki clan and the priestess lineage of the Ghost Country are descendants of Asura?"
"No, the priestess lineage can only be considered disciples. If we're really talking about descendants..." The Nekomata's Journey swayed its tail. "It should be the Senju and the Uzumaki, right?"
Ling was taken aback. He walked over and sat in front of The Nekomata's Journey. "I remember Indra is the older brother and Asura is the younger one, right?"
"Yes, that's correct."
"Eh... Then it seems I should be gentler with the Senju people in the future."
This time, it was The Nekomata's Journey that was puzzled. "Why?"
Ling tilted his head and said, "Because they're the younger ones. We Uchiha are very good to our siblings." "So the next time I meet them, I'll act more swiftly to relieve their pain—well, I'll also tell my other companions."
The Nekomata's Journey: ...In a way, it's really nice to them.
"It'll take some time for the chakra to calm down. Before that, tell me more about Indra and Asura. Or something about the Senju and the Uzumaki would be fine too."
Ling looked up at The Nekomata's Journey with a gentle smile on his face. "I really want to know about the brothers—well, although we can't live in peace, if I can relieve some of their pain, I'm willing to do it."
The Nekomata's Journey looked at Ling, uncomfortably scratching its claws. Sure enough, no matter how normal he seemed, he was still a descendant of that Indra guy. Wasn't he crazy too?!
...
When Yata went to inform Tajima Uchiha, Tajima had just finished discussing with the elders. He was planning to dispatch clan members to support Ling under the pretext of assisting the returning clan members. So, when he suddenly heard Yata say that Ling was okay, he was a bit stunned.
"Ling is okay?" Tajima Uchiha frowned. "Did he communicate with you?"
"Yes, the master just summoned me, meow." Yata stood on the table in front of Tajima Uchiha, repeating what it had already told Uchiha Akihiko. "The master said you don't need to be so nervous; you can call off the battle readiness, meow."
Hearing this, the elders in the room looked at each other. Finally, Tajima Uchiha spoke again. "Do you have more detailed information?"
"The master said he will return soon and will give you a detailed account then, meow." Here, Yata tilted its head, as if recalling. "That summoned beast is very powerful.
Its chakra reaction is higher than everyone here. Even the leaked chakra carries an undeniable hostility. But when the master summoned me, he was sitting in the beast's fur, looking quite calm, meow."
"Later, Sanshu also used reverse summoning to go there and was quite provocative in words, but the summoned beast didn't react much. Presumably, it has reached some agreement with the master, meow."
Hearing this, Tajima Uchiha calmed down a bit. He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. "What do you elders think?"
The elders glanced at each other and whispered for a moment. Then, one of them stepped forward and said, "We can dispatch some clan members to check it out. After all, the clan's protection for this trip was too weak. We can rule out some unnecessary risks, but the personnel should be re - screened. And as for Ling, it's best to contact the clan members there first for a simple investigation..."
Tajima Uchiha put down his hand. "Well, then you elders can decide on this matter. Yata, tell me in more detail."
"I understand. I'll describe it in detail, meow."
After receiving Yata's message, the arrangements of the Uchiha clan became much more orderly. Even so, the support team still set off from the clan territory that afternoon.
At the same time when the support team set off, far on the border of the Land of Lightning, Yukimaru approached Uchiha Masaki. After getting the short message, his usually smiling face immediately darkened. He glanced at Madara, who was asking the clan members about combat skills. Uchiha Masaki comforted Yukimaru, put on a smile again, and went to find Uchiha Masamitsu, the team leader, and gave him the note.
The moment Uchiha Masamitsu saw the short message, his brows furrowed. After a brief silence, he looked at Uchiha Masaki meaningfully. "You want to go?"
"Yes." Uchiha Masaki was concise. "Please allow me to go.
"
Uchiha Masamitsu fell silent again for a moment. "I understand. I'll write you a permit now. You handle things with Madara on your own and try not to show any flaws."
"Sure, I will. Thank you, sir."
After saying that, Uchiha Yakuki strode away.
Uchiha Masamitsu watched Uchiha Yakuki's back. He felt both worried and relieved. [To think that he's so strongly supported by those who fear him when he's in trouble... Father really has a great son!]
