Zongman: I am in Shuchiin, my last name is Uchiha

There was no need to say anything, nor any final blessings. She was very happy to be treated gently at the last moment.

Natsume stretched out his hand, but still penetrated the opponent's shadow.

"By the way, Natsume, I still haven't told you my name. After all, monsters can't easily tell others their names."

"Please remember, I have seen cherry blossoms falling since I was born, so my name is... Falling Sakura."

The cat teacher suddenly jumped onto Natsume's back. "Natsume is safe and happy now. You can rest in peace."

Natsume: "Hey! Teacher Cat!"

The cat teacher looked at the tree trunk on the ground and said, "For fairies born from plants, if they have not cultivated to the point of being separated from their original bodies, once their original bodies die...they will disappear along with the life of the plants."

Uchiha Ling looked at the scene in front of him, raised his head and chuckled.

"There is another way. Let me do it."

[System mall has been opened, current G point: 2656]

[System, exchange Wood Release for me! ]

[Incomplete Blood Limit: Wood Release: 400G points (reference Yamato), Perfect Blood Limit: Wood Release (reference Hashirama): 2000G points (Learning Wood Release requires chakra of both earth and water attributes: 400G points)]

【Pull it up directly! 】

【G-spot-2400】

"Brother Ling?"

Uchiha Ling walked forward, stretched out his hand and placed it on the cut tree trunk.

"The life of the plants is fading... Leave it to me from now on."

Chapter 52: People who are treated kindly by the world

When the power of Wood Release acted on the tree trunk that was about to die, Luoying felt as if her whole body was filled with it.

That’s right, this is the power of Wood Release, it fills it up directly!

However, Uchiha Ling was not very familiar with its use, and this was modern times after all, so he couldn't make too much noise.

Concentrate all the life energy of the entire tree on one branch, and then chop the branch off.

"Fallen Sakura, right? Your current true form is this branch. Next, Natsume will take your true form home and replant it. Is that ok?"

The body was reduced from a whole tree to a branch, and Luoying could feel that her strength had been weakened by half. But on the contrary, her vitality was actually increasing continuously.

The cat teacher narrowed his eyes.

"Oh? You can use your own energy to transform it into plant vitality! What a special ability! You can be said to be the treasure of all plant spirits."

Natsume looked at Luoying in surprise as her body became increasingly solid, and couldn't help laughing again.

"Let's go home, Luoying, you should come with us...go home too!"

Since obtaining the Book of Friends left by his grandmother, Natsume finally met a monster that belongs only to him.

After all, because of the Book of Friends, most of the monsters that Natsume encountered were looking for his grandmother, in order to get his own name back.

The person those monsters were waiting for, the person they hoped for, the person they established a bond with, was always only Natsume Reiko.

Luoying nodded, and then bowed deeply to Uchiha Ling. If it weren't for the great vitality given by the other party, not to mention going with Natsume, even her life would have disappeared soon.

"Natsume, is that the pig on your shoulder that you raised?"

"Pig? Hey, you little tree elf, who are you calling a pig? I'm a cat, Natsume's cat teacher!"

Luoying was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you a pig demon? Don't real cats look like this?"

As she spoke, Luoying pointed at Yanyun beside Uchiha Ling.

I'm so angry! Why do everyone think Yanyun is prettier than his cat teacher? He is the cute and lovable lucky cat, okay...

Carrying cherry blossom branches, the two of them, a cat and a pig, set out on their journey home.

Looking at the branch in his hand, Uchiha Ling closed his eyes helplessly. He had almost accumulated 3,000 points!

He was almost ready to use the Flying Thunder God Technique! In the end, he switched to Wood Release. Although Wood Release is very powerful, in this world... would he dare to plant trees on a large scale in a modern city?

So compared to the more powerful Wood Release, Uchiha Ling still prefers the Flying Thunder God Technique, and he only has Hashirama's Wood Release, but not his huge amount of chakra.

But this is the first time I am exchanging something...not for myself.

In the past, whether Uchiha Ling was brushing his G-spot or consuming his G-spot, it was probably mostly for the purpose of becoming stronger.

But now, Uchiha Ling felt honored to be able to help Natsume. So he did not regret almost emptying his G-spot to switch to Wood Release. Perhaps he should change his mindset... After all, the original intention of Wood Release was to protect family, friends, and all the people he cared about.

After returning home, Uchiha Ling first planted the cherry blossom branches in Natsume's yard, and then used Wood Release to promote their growth.

Soon, the branches that were originally only about one meter long began to take root, grow, and gradually turned into saplings about two meters long.

"Although I can continue to help her grow, it will be hard to explain to Aunt Tazi and the others. But I will come here every once in a while, and it should take about a year for Luoying to return to her original size."

Natsume nodded in understanding, that was enough.

"Natsume Natsume, let me be your shikigami! This way I can protect you too!"

Luoying flew around the yard and then landed in front of Natsume and said.

But to Luoying's regret, Natsume shook his head slightly. "Luoying, from today on, you are my family, not some shikigami, and I don't need you to fight, understand?"

"oh....."

Uchiha Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that today's affairs had come to a successful conclusion, so he decided to go back first.

"Brother Ling, I'll take you there."

After walking out of the courtyard, Uchiha Ling stopped and looked at Natsume behind him.

"You go back and rest. I also need to go back and rest."

Natsume did not move, but looked at Uchiha Ling quietly. "Brother Ling, just now the cat teacher secretly told me that life energy is one of the most powerful energies in the world. Under normal circumstances, it cannot be transformed, it can only be... transferred."

In Natsume's opinion, Uchiha Ling should have used his own vitality to temporarily maintain Luoying's vitality, so... he was a little worried.

[Natsume's favorability improvement - G-spot +100]

"Hahaha, that's just an ordinary person. I just use up my energy a little too quickly."

Natsume frowned, "But..."

Uchiha Ling stretched out his finger and tapped Natsume's forehead.

"Although we are not related by blood, I will always be your brother! You are not the only one who is treated kindly in this world."

.....

On Tuesday, when Uchiha Ling appeared again at the gate of Shuchiin, he was surrounded by people.

That's right, Shirogane Yuxing was very worried about his friend. After learning that he was sick and asked for leave, he thought about visiting his friend's home. Then he found out that he didn't know where his friend's home was...

Shirogane Miyuki stretched out his hand: "Uchiha..."

On the other side, Chitanda Eru and Amakusa Shino arrived in front of Uchiha Ling first. They both knew where Uchiha Ling's home was, but to their surprise, Yukinoshita Yukino also took sick leave.

Chitanda Eru was worried and wanted to go visit, but was stopped by Amakusa Shino.

[I think it’s better not to go. It would be bad in case I disturb the other party...] Amakusa Shino said meaningfully. Her idea coincided with that of two teachers.

After dealing with the two people from the Classical Literature Club, Shirogane Miyuki was about to step forward to say hello when he saw Hayasaka Ai also coming to Uchiha Ling with concern, asking if the other party had recovered.

Along with Hayasaka Ai came a pink-haired girl, Fujiwara Chika. At the entrance of the teaching building, the sharp-eyed Uchiha Ling also saw the figure of Shinomiya Kaguya.

The hand that Baiyin Yuxing stretched out froze in the air... Is this the difference in learning ability? I have decided that I must study hard and strive to reach the level of Uchiha Ling!

Chapter 53 Thirty-three years ago...

After leaving the inquiries from a few people, Uchiha Ling walked towards Shinomiya Kaguya downstairs in the teaching building.

"Hey, Shinomiya. What are you doing here?"

Shinomiya Kaguya glanced at Uchiha Ling and said calmly, "Fulfill what I promised you at the banquet. Aren't you going to investigate the incident thirty-three years ago?"

When it comes to this, Uchiha Ling also nodded.

"Then take me to the school database. But I want to ask, is the information in paper or electronic form?"

Shinomiya Kaguya thought for a moment and said, "They should all be available. It depends on which version you want."

Uchiha Ling took out a USB flash drive from his backpack. "Since there is an electronic version, it will be easy. Let me copy it."

.....

After returning to the classroom, Shirogane Miyuki finally got to greet Uchiha Ling as he wished, which was cause for celebration.

"Uchiha, you didn't come yesterday, so the lunch box I prepared for you was wasted."

At noon, Baiyin Yuxing complained casually, then took out the second lunch box from the desk.

"So today's bento is a special edition."

Uchiha Ling took the lunch box, but before he opened it, he heard the voice of the hot girl Hayasaka coming from the door.

"Student Ling, let's have dinner together!"

Baiyin Yuxing: "..."

Male student A: “What’s going on!”

Male classmate B: "Uchiha Ling, you traitor!!"

The boys in the class were furious, but Uchiha Ling walked out in style amidst the hostile gazes.

Uchiha Ling: "Come with me, let's eat somewhere else. Also...why did you ask me out to eat lunch together, and why did you want to investigate me?"

Hayasaka Ai blinked, "Hey, aren't we friends?"

Uchiha Ling sighed, "So in your setting, Hayasaka, the school's exclusive hottie, will often ask boys out for dinner?"

"Of course not! My setting in school is a hot and energetic girl who has never dated a man, not a supporter!"

In the club activity room of the Classical Literature Department, three girls who were used to eating in the club were sitting there chatting.

Just then, Uchiha Ling pushed the door open and walked in, followed by a confused Hayasaka Ai.

Shouldn't we go to a secluded place to eat alone? Why did you bring her to the club activity room?

Amakusa Shino noticed the person coming, first glanced at Yukinoshita inconspicuously, then asked curiously.

"Uchiha? This is...your girlfriend?"

Uchiha Ling pulled a chair over and sat down, "No, she said she wanted to join the club, so I brought her here."

Hayasaka Ai: “???”

I never said that! Who wants to join a club? And why are all the members of your club pretty girls?!

Hayasaka Ai discovered three girls who were just as beautiful as herself, and suddenly made a decision that even she found strange.

"Yes Minister, I want to join your club!"

Amakusa Shino nodded, "Then come over and eat together, and then fill out the forms."

As a result, there were five people eating lunch in the club classroom.

Yukinoshita Yukino has not said a word since Uchiha Ling came in. She hasn't thought about what to say yet, so she simply ignores him for the time being.

The five people were eating their lunch boxes quietly, and Amakusa Shino, who finished eating first, suddenly felt a little bored and then looked at the others.

"Yukinoshita, you cut your steak into such small pieces."

Yukino wiped her mouth and said, "Because my family taught me not to open my mouth wide when eating, and I was born with a small mouth. So I always divide the food into small pieces before eating."

Amakusa Shino nodded.

"I see. It will be hard for you to find a boyfriend..."

Yukinoshita didn't understand. She just tilted her head and looked at Amakusa Shino, then glanced in the direction of Uchiha Ring. Chitanda, who also didn't understand, ate quietly.

Hayasaka Ai almost choked and quickly drank some water. Uchiha Ling, who was sitting next to her, patted her on the back.
