"Third generation Naruto, I am willing to join the Dark Group!”
After a long consideration, Ling finally made up his mind that no one was allowed to plan his own life. Furthermore, Ling believed that Uchiha Tomitake would not dare to deal with him openly. At most, he would only try to cause trouble in the dark. However, if Ling was really pushed into a corner, he could just start the City of Eating Time in the Uchiha clan and devour the clan's time to activate the Kei Emperor and then kill Uchiha Tomitake. Humans lived in this world, and the more you groveled, the more others would step on your nose. As long as he was scared, he would not dare to be impudent anymore.
Of course, Ling did not want to use the ability of King Ke unless it was absolutely necessary. At the very least, he did not want to use it too much unless he had a certain amount of luck points to exchange for time. A hundred years of lifespan could not be used too often. The absorption speed of the City of Time was also relatively slow. Without a certain amount of luck points to exchange for time, he would probably die first. King Ke was indeed heaven-defying, but before he used it, he had to at least have time reserves. For example, if you were to invest in a business, no matter how much money you had after the business was done, the prerequisite was that you had to have the capital first. Unfortunately, Ling's reserve time was only a hundred years at most.
Upon hearing Ling's words, the third generation Naruto finally broke into a smile."Alright, I'm glad you've made your choice. I'll give you three days to prepare. Report to the Dark Group in three days. I'll make sure to greet you!"”The third generation Naruto was very happy. He did not have much hope at first. After all, Ling was the number one genius of the Uchiha clan, and there were plenty of resources left in the clan. Why would he choose to join the Dark Group? Therefore, Ling's answer was completely beyond the expectations of the third generation Naruto.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go back first!”Ling nodded and clenched his fists slightly. This was the first step he had taken according to his own will. Perhaps this choice would make it difficult for Ling to move forward in the clan in the future, but Ling did not regret it. He would not change his mind even if he had to make another choice. Freedom and control. This was Ling's ideal and the only philosophy he had to uphold. If he could not even control his own fate, if a person did not even have freedom, what was the point of living in this world? Without freedom and control over one's own fate, wouldn't strength lose its meaning?
After leaving Fiery Shadow Tower, the sky gradually darkened. Unknowingly, another day had passed. Facing the setting sun, Ling headed towards the clan grounds alone. However, wherever he passed, everyone could not help but stare at Ling and discuss him.
"I heard that this kid has already graduated from ninja school. Moreover, he's only five years old and has only been in ninja school for three months. He should be the earliest student to graduate in history!”
"Look at the clan emblem on his clothes. He's from the Uchiha clan. Tsk, all kinds of geniuses come from the Uchiha clan.”
Everyone was whispering amongst themselves. It was obvious that the news of Ling graduating from the Ninja Academy had spread throughout the village. Moreover, it was spreading very quickly. After all, he was the fastest graduate in Kanye's history. Moreover, he had defeated an elite Genin at the age of five. This was truly shocking. It was impossible for the news to spread slowly in such a situation.
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Ling unconsciously raised his chin. Even Ling could not remain indifferent to being praised by others. He was certainly pleased, but at the same time, Ling was warning himself not to be complacent just because of this little achievement.
"Geniuses who haven't grown up are just ants. I have to increase my strength as soon as possible so that I can prepare for the third battle of the Ninja Realm in a few years!”Ling dispelled the pride in his heart and quickened his pace. Soon, he returned to his clan. As soon as he reached home, he was stopped by two clansmen before he could even enter the door. Both of them were middle-aged men wearing black high-collared coats. When they looked at Ling, a glint would always flash in their eyes.
"Rin Uchiha, the patriarch wants you to come over!”One of the middle-aged men said seriously.
"Are you here?" Upon hearing that, Ling nodded slightly and did not reply. He turned around and headed towards Uchiha Tomitake's residence. Ling roughly knew what Uchiha Tomitake would ask, but Ling would not run away. If he ran away, he would never be able to walk out of this shadow for the rest of his life, let alone become a Controller and enjoy his freedom.
"This brat is very arrogant!”Seeing Ling leave without saying a word, the other middle-aged man who had not spoken a word was extremely displeased.
"Ah, he is indeed very arrogant, but this kid is the first person to open his eyes in the history of the Uchiha clan, and he is also the first person to graduate in the history of Koba. It is not an exaggeration to call him a peerless genius, so he has the capital to be arrogant!”The middle-aged man snorted. Even though he said that, he was still unhappy.
Ling did not know how the two middle-aged extras were like, nor did he want to know. He would rather spend the time to cultivate than to chat with them. Following the path in his memory, Ling soon arrived at Uchiha Tomitake's study. The lights were still on, and he was obviously marking documents.
Ling took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He clenched his fists and finally knocked on the door. Soon, Uchiha Tomitake's voice came from inside, signaling Ling to enter. After pushing open the door, he saw Uchiha Tomitake closing a scroll and putting it aside.
"Ling, you're here!" Upon seeing Ling enter, a glint flashed across Uchiha Tomitake's eyes before a smile appeared on his face."I heard that you defeated the invigilator Genin during your graduation today, right? Not bad, you're indeed a genius of our Uchiha clan!"”
Hearing this, Ling frowned slightly and said indifferently,"Lord Patriarch, you flatter me!”
"Not arrogant and not impatient. Hmm, not bad!”Uchiha Tomitake nodded and put away the smile on his face. He narrowed his eyes and said,"You haven't been home since you graduated. Did the third generation Naruto look for you and say something?"”
"Are you here?" Ling's pupils constricted, but he quickly adjusted his state of mind. He looked up at Uchiha Tomitake and nodded."Yes, the third generation Naruto said that he wanted me to join his Dark Group!”As he spoke, Ling's eyes were locked on Uchiha Tomitake. He did not flinch at all, and even his gaze did not change.
"As expected!" Uchiha Tomitaahira laughed coldly, his tone filled with disdain towards the third generation Naruto. He then looked at Ling and asked again,"You didn't agree to it, did you?!"”Speaking of this, Yu Zhi Fu Yue's eyes flashed with anger, and his expression became serious.
