Madam, you wouldn't want your... (Seeking reads, monthly votes)

The next morning, in the Uchiha Clan Compound.

"Uncle, you have to avenge me!"

Uchiha Gongzhu knelt on the tatami, clutching a man's leg, crying loudly.

"I was bullied at school!

He cried with tears streaming down his face, but even after squeezing for a long time, only a few drops fell.

"Ouch! Uncle, why are you pinching my face..."

At this moment, Gongzhu suddenly let out a scream, his swollen little face stretched long.

The man squatted down, playfully staring at his nephew.

"Aren't you the king of the kids at your school?

What?

You ran into someone tough this time and got beaten?"

"...Uh."

Gongzhu dodged his gaze and ran to the side of a beautiful woman wearing a Butterfly Pattern Green Kimono, who was shaking her head and smiling wryly.

"Mom, look at him, he just complains about me all day.

The kid who beat me said he'd beat me every time he saw me at school from now on. How am I supposed to get by at school... study!"

Although the beautiful woman knew her son was mischievous, she felt a pang of heartache seeing Gongzhu's swollen face. In the end, she could only look at the man and say softly:

"Brother Qingyi Lang, why don't you accompany Gongzhu to school? I know this child is naughty. If it's not a big deal, you can just communicate with the other child's parents, and we can..."

"No need!"

Gongzhu suddenly interrupted: "I've already found out. That kid is an orphan, and he likes to go to a small lake outside the Village to practice Ninjutsu. When the time comes, Uncle just needs to go to the school, no, wait for him at the entrance of the ninja village and beat him up. Hehe, I think he'll never dare to..."

"You brat!"

Qingyi Lang glared at him.

"Do you think your uncle is the Hokage, that he can beat anyone he wants!

I think you just wanted to bully him because he's an orphan, and that's why you got beaten. You brat, how many times have I told you not to hang out with those brats!

Feilin, you should talk to him when you have time. If this kid keeps going like this, he'll cause trouble sooner or later!"

As he spoke, Qingyi Lang looked towards the helpless beautiful woman beside him.

"I want to too..."

Feilin lowered her beautiful eyes, on the verge of tears, "But this child's father passed away early. During the day, I still have to find some work in the clan to supplement our income..."

"Sigh..."

Hearing this, Qingyi Lang let out a long sigh. He knew his sister had a hard time and didn't say anything more. Finally, he said dejectedly:

"Alright then, I'll pick up Gongzhu after school today. If the other party is truly unreasonable, I'll report it to the school."

Feilin wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and bowed, pleading, "Then this time... I'll have to trouble you, Brother Qingyi Lang."

Although Gongzhu had successfully achieved his goal and was about to smile, looking at the worried expressions of his uncle and mother, the smile on his lips couldn't be lifted...

Am I doing the right thing?

"Moximoxi, is Qingyi Lang there?"

Just as the atmosphere in the entire house became a bit oppressive, a rather cheeky voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

"If he is, please inform him that his most beloved father has returned."

Hearing the familiar voice, Qingyi Lang, who had been looking worried moments ago, was first stunned, then chuckled and cursed as he used the Body Flicker Technique to appear outside the door.

Leaning against the door was none other than the dashing Uchiha Ao.

He had deliberately put on a stylish high-collared Uchiha Clan Uniform today, styled his hair like a grown man, and coupled with his warm-boy-like smile, he looked incredibly flamboyant.

"Damn it, you brat, you actually came back alive!"

Qingyi Lang didn't look closely and slapped Uchiha Ao on the back.

"You have no idea, those scoundrels in the clan even set up a betting pool on you. Looks like some people are going to cry."

"You son of a bitch, are you trying to kill your father? That hurt!"

Uchiha Ao gasped in pain, rubbing his shoulder. After rubbing it for a while, he winked and said, "How about it, did you bet on me coming back alive?"

"Bullshit, do I have so much money I don't know what to do with it!"

Qingyi Lang rolled his eyes. "I bet 1,000 Taels that you'd kick the bucket halfway."

He knew his bad friend's capabilities.

He came back so quickly, he must have given up halfway. But he didn't expose him, wanting to save him some face.

"Serves you right for losing, damn it," Ao's mouth twitched, and he cursed.

"Heh heh..."

Qingyi Lang chuckled twice, "It's only 1,000 Taels. Some people have bet a whole 100,000 Taels!"

"Tch..."

Ao couldn't be bothered to argue about who it was. After a curse, he invited, "So, Captain Qingyi Lang, do you have any free time tonight to grab a drink?"

Qingyi Lang readily agreed, "Sure, let's set it for tonight. I'll treat you to a second round then, heh heh..."

The two slung arms around each other, occasionally letting out lewd chuckles.

The atmosphere in the entire clan had been tense lately, and he had long wanted to relax.

"Brother Ao, you're here."

At this moment, a timid voice came from within the courtyard.

Following the sound, they saw Feilin emerge from the courtyard with her young son.

"You are..."

Uchiha Ao looked at the beautiful woman, his brow furrowed at first, then memories flooded his mind, and the name naturally came out.

"Feilin!"

"Giggle..."

Feilin bowed and smiled, "I thought Brother Ao had forgotten me long ago."

"How could I? I've wanted to visit for the past two years, but your brother always guards me like a thief..."

Ao smiled and waved his hand, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

No wonder that guy Qingyi Lang guarded me like I was a thief. Feilin, while of above-average looks, possessed a certain charm that elevated her beauty to another level.

Her eyes were like autumn water, her lips as bright and moist as ripe cherries. As she moved, her full, rounded buttocks swayed gently...

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Qingyi Lang coughed a few times and quickly stood between the two, "Who's guarding you? I invited you over for dinner, and you didn't come!"

Ao seized the opportunity, "Alright, Brother-in-law, it's settled then. I'll definitely come by often from now on!"

"Get lost! If you dare to come, I'll blast your flower with a hundred Kunai!"

Feilin, listening to their conversation, blushed and found an excuse to run back into the house.

Her two rounded cheeks jiggled with her running...

(he) Gongzhu, that brat, quickly snapped out of his earlier sadness, looking at Uchiha Ao with a face full of curiosity.

"Uncle Sou, did you just return from a mission? Then you must be very powerful, can you help me teach a kid a lesson?"

"Get lost!"

Qingyi Lang glared at (he), interrupting, "Do you think this is a gang fight? You want to call more people?"

"It's fine."

Ao reached out to stop (he), looking at Gongzhu's swollen little face, and asked with amusement, "I'm idle anyway."

First, help Feilin's child, build some rapport.

When the time is right: Heh heh, my dear, you wouldn't want your child...

Cough cough!

Qingyi Lang looked at Ao, who was smirking wickedly, and coughed a few times. (he) had a feeling this guy wasn't thinking of anything good.

But seeing that (he) couldn't hide it, (he) had no choice but to explain the whole story to Gongzhu.

"This kid you're talking about..."

However, Uchiha Ao's head was still quite calm, and (he) cautiously asked, "His name isn't Tsunade, is it..."

"No, no."

Gongzhu shook his head like a drum, "Big Sister Tsunade, how would I dare to provoke (her)?"

As (he) spoke, (he) rolled his eyes around, "Don't worry, Uncle Sou, he's just a Minor Clan Ninja."

This kid isn't being honest...

Ao looked at Gongzhu, whose little eyes were spinning faster than a yo-yo, and thought.

However, since (he)'s a Minor Clan Ninja, it should be fine. (He) was having dinner with Qingyi Lang tonight anyway, so (he) might as well take a look.

If it was indeed bullying, (he) would help if (he) could.

If this kid was lying... (he) probably wouldn't have to lift a finger; Qingyi Lang would turn (he) into a spinning top.

The reason (he) was willing to hang out with this bad friend was that (he) felt Qingyi Lang's values were quite compatible with his own, at least different from those extreme Uchihas.

Although Qingyi Lang hadn't awakened his Sharingan, this precisely proved that (he) was a normal person.

The earlier an Uchiha awakened their Sharingan, the more they were, without exception, paranoid lunatics!

After agreeing, Uchiha Ao was about to take his leave when Qingyi Lang suddenly said with a serious expression:

"Ao, have you thought about how you're going to explain this to the Clan Head?"

If he abandoned the mission halfway like this, even if the Uchiha Clan was protective, he'd likely still be punished.

Uchiha Ao was bewildered. "Explain what? Isn't it just about completing a mission?"

"But..."

Qingyi Lang still didn't understand Ao's meaning, his expression grim. "This mission is different. I heard it's a mission assigned by the Village. If you abandon it midway, the clan might not be able to protect you. I advise you to talk to the Clan Head properly, get him to assign you another mission, and then stay stationed outside the Village for a long time to lie low."

"Oh~"

Uchiha Ao suddenly understood. "You're worried about this? I've already completed the mission!"

"I know you invited me to dinner because you wanted to borrow some money to curry favor with the Clan Head. I have some spare cash, so I'll lend you ten thousand...

What?!"

Qingyi Lang, who was just about to take out his wallet, looked up sharply at Ao's words, his face full of disbelief.

"You said...

You completed it?!"
