Chapter 35: Yata Thinks This Master Isn't Up to Par

  After letting Senju Tsutomu go, Uchiha Ryo didn't find another pce for training. Instead, he returned to the cn and found the cn elders. He briefly mentioned what he had discovered about the Senju cn members' whereabouts on the back mountain, and asked them to send summoned beasts to inform the cn members who were scattered on the back mountain for training to gather closer to the cn.

  "Are there many of them?"

  "No, it was just a kid. He was so scared after recognizing me." Ryo pretended to be in deep thought. "Although I could have killed him, I let him go in the end. After all, the forest area over there is close to the Senju territory. I'm afraid there are some Sealing Tags. If I attract a group of Senju cn members, there will surely be a conflict.

  Moreover, st time I also let the Senju cn take back new intelligence about me. When that kid goes back to report, they should be able to recognize me. Knowing that I go there for cultivation from time to time, they will naturally discipline their own kids.

  However, we can't be sure whether they will choose to shrink back or look for us further. It's better for the cn members to retreat a little. Besides, the two cns have just ended a war, and it's time for recuperation. I want to avoid any conflicts other than missions as much as possible."

  "Well, your concerns are reasonable. I'll send someone to spread the word." After taking note of the important matter, this cn member's voice became concerned. "By the way, how is your recovery going, Ryo?"

  Ryo chuckled and scratched the back of his neck, looking a little embarrassed. "Ah... Me? Thanks for your concern, Uncle Kazuharu. I'm fine now. After getting used to my body a bit more, I should be able to return to the battlefield..."

  "Hahaha, Sure enough, you're recognized by Hiro as the best among your peers! But don't be too harsh on those young guys in the cn. The medical department was full because of you some time ago!" Uchiha Kazuharu ughed heartily. "You know, my Hiro compined a lot about it."

  "Haha... I really put Hiro through a lot then." Ryo also ughed. "Ah, but I haven't seen Hiro since that spar. I didn't even notice that he came to watch me train secretly... Does Uncle Kazuharu know what's going on?"

  "That kid. After he came back st time and told me the result of your spar, he took on a long - term escort mission and left. He said he needed to calm down." Uchiha Kazuharu burst out ughing. "My boy has such a prickly personality. You don't have to take it too seriously, Ryo. He'll be fine when he figures it out."

  "I'm relieved then." Ryo nodded to Uchiha Kazuharu, with a gentle smile on his lips. "Then I'll leave the matter of informing the cn members to you, Uncle Kazuharu. I haven't had the chance to tell my family that I'm done with my training, so I'll take my leave first."

  Uchiha Kazuharu gnced at the crow quietly squatting on Ryo's shoulder and nodded. "Well, go ahead. But given the current situation, you don't have to push yourself so hard, Ryo. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

  "

  "Hahaha... Don't ugh at me, but even if we don't talk about other things, I'm quite eager to return to the battlefield. When fighting with cn members, we always stop at the appropriate point, which makes me a little unsatisfied."

  "Hahaha - Uchiha Ryo, you're really a natural ninja! Well done!" Uchiha Kazuharu patted Uchiha Ryo on the shoulder and ughed heartily. "Alright, go back quickly. If you wander around in your current state for too long, the kids in the cn who grew up hearing your stories will be disillusioned - after all, who could have imagined that the all - powerful senior in the stories would look like this?"

  Uchiha Ryo also knew that his appearance after just finishing training was not very decent. So he didn't stay any longer. After just forcing out a few awkward ughs, he asked Yata, who was standing on his shoulder, to show him the way home.

  "Master, there's one thing I have to remind you, squawk..." Yata tilted his head slightly. "That Sanzu guy is simply not suitable to stay at home. He has tricked young master Izuna more than once, and he's succeeded every time, squawk."

  "Really? I had no idea," Uchiha Ryo frowned slightly. "Sanzu was quite well - behaved when I was at home..."

  "That guy will also behave when Tajima Uchiha and young master Madara are around. But in essence, it's just that young master Izuna is too easy to deceive, squawk." Yata turned his head to preen his feathers. "It's already a minor thing that he was tricked into swapping lunches. You really need to discipline Sanzu, squawk."

  "Swapping lunches... Is it okay for Sanzu to eat human food? As for Izuna..." Uchiha Ryo tilted his head and rummaged through his ninja tool bag behind his waist, then took out a bag of bird feed. "Wait a moment. Let me taste it first..."

  Yata: ...

  Feeling the unique smell of nuts filling his mouth, Uchiha Ryo casually took out a few pieces of bird feed and handed them to Yata. "Don't worry too much. I guess Sanzu just used the bird feed to trick Izuna out of some of his food. This batch of bird food is made of good - quality nuts. Izuna can eat some without any problem.

  After I get back, I'll take Sanzu for a check - up. Uchiha Yugu has told me several times not to let you eat human food. Also, I'll tell Sanzu that bird food with insects can't be used to exchange for food. Nuts are okay, but Izuna can't eat insects."

  Yata silently picked up the bird feed with his beak. "Don't you think Sanzu's behavior is a bit too much, squawk?"

  "Hahaha, didn't Izuna also say that you and Sanzu are our family? Since we're family, it doesn't matter to have such harmless jokes. It's also a sign of closeness -" Uchiha Ryo picked up another piece of bird feed and put it in his mouth. "This tastes quite good. In fact, it tastes much better than the Military Rations Pill... Do you think I should ask Uchiha Yugu to order an extra batch for me to eat as snacks?"

  Yata stared at Uchiha Ryo's profile with his small bck eyes for a moment, then turned his head away. "Sure enough, the one we can really rely on at home is young master Madara, squawk..."

  "Wow, that's so unfair... Father is also very reliable, okay?"

  "When a summoned beast says something like that, you should first reflect on whether you, as the master, have any shortcomings. Instead of looking for a more reliable one to try to convince your summoned beast," Yata shook its feathers and fpped its wings to fly up. "We're home, squawked!"
