Comprehensive manga: I live in Shuchiin, my last name is Uchiha

Uchiha Ling: "So, what do we do next?"

The cat teacher jumped on Natsume's shoulder and looked at Uchiha Ling with some dissatisfaction.

"It's not because of you that the monster disappeared directly, otherwise we can still ask."

Natsume took the cat teacher off her shoulders and said, "Anyway, let's go to the mountain temple to take a look first. After all, this is where Aki-san and the others disappeared."

Walking into the somewhat dilapidated mountain temple, I saw a light blue floor in the center of the temple, with a lot of snacks and lunches placed on it.

Natsume: "This is where Aki-san, Kato-san, and Sawamura-san disappeared. I searched nearby, but I couldn't even find their footsteps... They seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."

Teacher Cat narrowed his eyes, "Well, since it is a temple dedicated to the mountain god, let's see who the god of this mountain is."

Uchiha Ling suddenly became interested, "Does this world...have gods?"

Teacher Cat nodded. "Of course, but there are two types of gods. One kind lives too long and uses its own strength to make other monsters respect it as gods."

"The other kind, and the most common one, are gods that rely on human faith. Such gods can be strong or weak. The more people believe in them, the stronger they are. But once they lose their faith, the gods themselves will no longer be able to believe in them. exist."

As Teacher Cat spoke, his eyes were already fixed on the three white porcelain masks on the floor of the ancestral hall.

"Eh? Why did it fall on the ground? Did they drop it?"

Natsume stepped forward. Two of the three white porcelain masks were covered with dust, while the third one was broken.

Teacher Cat: "I see, it's a four-sided tomb. With such a mountain god who can help humans, your friends will probably be fine."

But Mr. Cat looked at the broken mask again and said, "Your two friends are probably fine."

Uchiha Ling stepped forward and picked up a mask out of curiosity. It looked a little shabby and had been there for at least fifty years.

"What do these masks mean?"

Teacher Cat explained.

[Emizuka: It is a deity created by human beings praying to heaven after being killed in the mountains. Simianzhong usually wanders in the mountains and forests to help children who are lost in the mountains. And his four masks are amulets. 】

[After ordinary people enter the mountain temple, if a mask falls to the ground, it means that you are protected by the four-sided tomb today. 】

Teacher Cat: "In other words, as long as the mask is not broken, nothing will happen to the person being protected."

Natsume stood up worriedly, "Then how are we going to find the Emikonzuka? They must be in danger now."

The two of them walked out of the mountain temple, but Natsume also felt his feet sink and fell forward.

Uchiha Lingyan quickly supported Natsume who was about to fall, but what shocked them was that the entire area near the mountain temple was actually flooded by the lake.

Uchiha Ling: "The tide is rising? Are you kidding? This is not the beach! It was the woman who just did it again!"

"You stay in the temple, I'll go out and take a look!"

Uchiha Ling stepped directly on the water and reached the lake in a few leaps.

"Hey! No matter what kind of monster you are, release those two girls quickly! Otherwise..."

There was no sound on the calm lake, but Uchiha Ling could feel that the other party was nearby.

"under!"

Uchiha Ling lowered his head, and the banshee's hands had firmly grasped his ankles, and pulled Uchiha Ling down with a strong pull.

"Humans can't breathe in water, you lose!"

The banshee pulled Uchiha Ling's body tightly towards the water, but... why was this human's body so stiff?

The banshee turned her head and saw that Uchiha Ling, who had just been caught by her, had turned into wood.

Above the lake, Uchiha Ling clapped his hands.

"Sure enough, the monster can't tell the difference between the wooden clone and the main body, so next... the wood escape: silent killing and binding technique!"

The underwater wood itself turned into long branches and tied up the monster.

"Wood Release: Penetration Technique! Next is...Wood Dragon Technique!"

This is the first time Uchiha has used it in battle since he exchanged it for the first generation Wood Release. I have to say... the chakra consumption is really huge, it seems that I still need to exchange a little more.

The huge wooden dragon rushed into the water from the forest, then bit the banshee and soared into the sky, finally hitting the ground by the lake.

At this time, the banshee was already dying from the influence of Uchiha. When the rising lake water gradually receded, Natsume and the cat teacher also ran out of the mountain temple.

Teacher Cat: "You're really ruthless... He's just a water ghost with less than fifty years of experience."

Uchiha Ling allowed the wooden dragon to disintegrate on its own. "I just want to pull her up as quickly as possible and defeat her at the same time. If I want to kill her, it will be easier."

Arriving in front of the water ghost, Uchiha Ling stepped on the opponent's lower abdomen which was being penetrated. "Hurry up, let him go if you want to live."

Natsume pulled Uchiha Ling, "Brother Ling, even if she is a monster, I don't think she will kidnap Aki-san and the others for no reason. Let's ask politely."

Uchiha Ling nodded, "Understood, I, Uchiha, am the best at persuading others with virtue."

The female water ghost looked at Uchiha Ling tremblingly. "I...I will not let go of those who are disrespectful to the Mountain God."

Uchiha Ling's face was still cold, and he leaned down and gave the water ghost a big pussy.

"Hurry up, let's leave now. If you don't say anything...then I will continue to penetrate you! If I don't insert the word "virtue" into you, my surname will not be Uchiha!"

The female water ghost looked into those blood-red eyes. Although she didn't understand what penetration meant, the branch still inserted into her body was probably the best explanation. "

"He...they are all in the cave on the other side of the lake! Except for that man, everyone is fine!"

Uchiha Ling put away the branches, and the female water ghost slowly sat up and led a few people to the cave.

Natsume: "So, why did you attack Aki-san?"

The female water ghost's face showed anger, she snorted coldly and didn't want to speak, and then she was glared at by Uchiha Ling, and she said sincerely.

"Five years ago, that kid came to play alone near the mountain temple. He was lost at the time. The mountain god secretly helped him. As a result..."

Five years ago, An Yilun also found a white porcelain mask falling on the ground. Although he didn't know what it was, he thought it was fun and took it home.

As a result... An Yilun, who grew up, had no idea of ​​bringing the mask back at all. Instead, during a certain move, he threw away the white porcelain mask that was buried on all sides.

Masks are the source of faith of Master Emizuka. That boy destroyed the mask that Master Emizuka worked so hard to refine, and he still dared to come here! I will definitely make him pay the price.

Entering the cave, Uchiha Ling finally saw Kato Megumi and Eiri, who were sleeping snuggled up against the big rocks, as well as... Toruya Aki, who was hung up by a water plant.

Uchiha Ling: "Everything is okay? Didn't you say you have already taken action against this guy?"

The water ghost was stunned, and she was also surprised to find that all the scars on An Yilun's body that she had whipped with water plants had disappeared.

Natsume shook his head, "It seems that you are the only one who is angry about this matter. Mr. Yamagami did not blame Aki-san at all."

"Impossible! He lost the mask that Master Mountain God took decades to refine."

Natsume: "Go to the temple and take a look. The three of them are under the protection of the mountain god, and the mask protecting Aki-san has been broken. It is probably because of the damage you caused."

Uchiha Ling chuckled. "I thought I was helping the mountain god to avenge him, but he actually caused the mountain god to lose another mask~"
