Chapter 49: The Two Cns after the Deal

  The deal with the Nara Cn was quickly concluded. Senju Ming and Uchiha Mori, who had been engaged in a half - hour long shouting match, finally stopped - not because they had no more insults to hurl, but because they were simply too exhausted to continue.

  Without much pretense of politeness, both sides sincerely wished each other an early demise and then went their separate ways.

  After the Uchiha group was out of sight, Senju Ming took out a bamboo tube filled with water and took a big gulp. "Damn it! That brat can really talk. I'm so tired - Humph, among their group, only that blind guy looks okay..."

  "Come on, sister," sighed Senju Shigeoki. "Don't let your stunted physical growth also stunt your mental growth. That guy is the most troublesome one among the Uchihas. Have you forgotten about Uchiha Ryo that the cn emphasized just a few days ago?"

  Senju Ming stroked her chin and rummaged through her memory. "Oh, I know. He's the leader of this Uchiha generation. But is he really that dangerous? By the way, why are you so familiar with him?"

  "Do you think I'd be unfamiliar with the guy who nearly killed me twice?" Senju Shigeoki said, with a twitch of his mouth. "You were wondering who broke my ribs st time? It was that little punk."

  Senju Ming's eyes widened suddenly. "Then why didn't you just kill him right then and there?!"

  "That's why I said I don't want to fight him! If it were any other Uchiha today, I'd definitely have taken him on!"

  "Are you actually afraid of an Uchiha?!" Senju Ming's voice rose again. She jumped up and gave Senju Shigeoki a hard whack on the back of his head. "What a disgrace! Don't say you're my brother from now on!"

  "Am I afraid of him?!" Senju Shigeoki covered the back of his head and raised his voice too. "I was worried that once the fight started, he'd target you guys instead of me! I had my ribs broken by just one sword strike. With your petite build, you'd be cut in half!"

  "What -? How dare you talk to your sister like that?!"

  "Who wants to be your brother? You look so gentle on the outside but turn out to be so violent! You'll never get married!"

  "Wasn't it because you snatched too many nutrients in the womb? Otherwise, would I have developed so slowly and been called a midget by those Uchiha scumbags?!"

  Senju Ma, carrying the Scroll of Seals on her back and walking behind, watched the two of them arguing as the topic went off - track, and she felt rather helpless. After letting out a soft sigh, she turned to the silent person beside her. "Jin, are there any Uchihas following us?"

  "Although I can still sense them spying on us, they don't seem to be following," Senju Jin said indifferently, with a slight tilt of her eyes. "Are you pnning to ambush them? I can make the first move."

  "No, we need to retreat as soon as possible. The herbs we bought this time are urgently needed by the cn. We can't afford any mistakes," Senju Ma frowned slightly. "Ming, Shigeoki, stop arguing. We'll be rushing back to the cn at full speed from now on."

  Hearing Senju Ma's voice, the two who had been arguing fiercely immediately fell silent. Senju Ming took another sip of water and muttered softly, "It's always this damn full - speed rush. I really hate it."

  "

  Senju Shigeoki clicked his tongue and shifted his steps to stand on the other side of Senju Ma. "Stop compining. Finish the mission quickly and go to a temple to pray for blessings."

  "Why?"

  "Of course, it's to get rid of bad luck. Isn't it bad enough to encounter the Uchiha cn on a transportation mission?"

  "Indeed, it is quite unlucky..."

  As the Senju cn decided to hasten their return trip, on the other side, the Uchiha cn also had their own conversation.

  "So, Uchiha Yugu, did the deal go smoothly?"

  Hearing this, Uchiha Yugu nodded slightly at Uchiha Ryo. "Very successful. The Nara Cn gave up quite a bit of profit. We really have to thank those troublesome Senju this time."

  "Indeed. I don't know what's going on tely," Uchiha Ryo said with a faint smile. "Good things always happen every time we meet the Senju cn..."

  "Every time tely?" Uchiha Mori tilted his head. "Brother Ryo, have you encountered the Senju cn many times recently?"

  "Yes. I don't know why tely. Even though we're not on the battlefield, we still seem to be quite fated with the Senju cn. Oh, they've chosen to leave..." Uchiha Ryo turned his head to look in the direction where the Senju cn was leaving. "It seems that the supplies are really important."

  "Should we unch an attack?" Rin stroked the hilt of her sword. "It should cause them quite a bit of trouble."

  Hearing this, Uchiha Mori also perked up. "Let's go! Let's go! Kill all those guys! And take their heads back as souvenirs! Especially that mouthy little dwarf. I can't wait!"

  "No, let's not. The Senju cn has already left the town and made their way into the forest. By the time we catch up with them, we'll probably already be in the forest," Uchiha Ryo shook his head. "It's too unwise to have an encounter battle with the Senju cn in the forest. Moreover, there is no mission for the two cns to fight right now. Let's steer clear of them this time."

  "I'm fine with that," Uchiha Yugu said. "The supplies from this deal can also be transported back little by little by the ninja crows. The mission won't be a problem."

  Uchiha Mori, who had been excited just now, suddenly froze in his movements.

  Uchiha Ryo frowned slightly. "Well... if everyone feels this way—"

  "No, thinking about it carefully, let's not fight," Uchiha Mori interrupted Uchiha Ryo's words and snatched the Scroll of Seals from Uchiha Yugu's back at the same time. "After all, my brother is quite useless. He'll only slow us down in a fight. Let's not fight."

  Uchiha Yugu, who was yanked and almost fell: ...

  Rin frowned. "Uchiha Yugu himself has agreed—"

  Uchiha Mori immediately looked at Rin. "But don't you still have to bring back a souvenir for Sumi? If Sumi sees your wounds, you won't be able to expin it, right?"

  When Uchiha Mori mentioned his sister, Rin was silent for a moment. Finally, he withdrew his hand from the weapon. "Indeed, going back with injuries might scare Sumi... But isn't it too easy on the Senju cn to just let them go?"

  "What do you mean by letting them go? Brother Ryo also wants to avoid this battle, right, Brother Ryo? Ow! Brother, let go of my ear! It'll come off!"

  Hearing Uchiha Mori's strange shouts, Uchiha Ryo couldn't help but nod with a smile. "Indeed, this battle holds no benefit for us. I'm not really into fighting a battle that brings no benefits and may even lead to a major conflict."

  "Ah? That can't be true, right?" Uchiha Mori was struggling against Uchiha Yugu with both hands. He turned his head to look at Uchiha Ryo. "I can understand the ck of benefit. After all, if they realize they can't win, they definitely won't leave anything behind for us.

  "But a major conflict... We've been at odds with the Senju for ages. However, they wouldn't start a war with us just because a ninja supply caravan was wiped out, would they?"

  "Haha... The major conflict I'm talking about isn't with them. It's the alliance formed by the Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi cns." Uchiha Ryo chuckled softly and turned his head towards the trees on one side. "We can't overlook the strength of others just because we're powerful. We'll get a lesson if we do."

  After Uchiha Ryo finished speaking, the sparrow that had been preening itself on the tree finally took off with a fp of its wings. At the same time, in a secret chamber not far away, a middle - aged man with blond hair opened his eyes. He looked at Nara Shikawo beside him with a complicated expression and said, "As you said, that blind kid is indeed an unusual Uchiha."
