Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

Chapter 109 Two People with Big Differences

As mealtime approached, more and more customers came to the barbecue restaurant. Uchiha Ako stopped chatting with the two and stood up to greet the customers.

Looking at the Uchiha clan members talking and laughing, Uchiha Dalang couldn't help but sigh.
"This is a rare period of peace, and there are many more guests than before."

"Yeah, the Senju guys are selecting a new clan leader. The battlefield has calmed down for the time being, and everyone can come back and relax."

Uchiha Gin took a sip of Uchiha Dalang's treasured wine and frowned after it went down his throat.

"Why does your wine taste wrong? It's so bland, like it's been diluted with water."

"Impossible! I was fine when I drank it a few days ago."

Hearing Uchiha Gin's doubt, Uchiha Dalang's honest face flushed. He poured himself a cup of wine in disbelief. After tasting it carefully, his brows also frowned. A flash of thought flashed across his eyes, revealing an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Tsk, it must be that kid Erlang. I'll break his legs when he comes back!"

At this time, in the dungeon of the Uchiha clan

"Huo He, you finally came back from the battlefield. As your brother, I must give you a warm welcome."

The mature-looking Uchiha Jiro had a mysterious look on his face. He carefully took out a storage scroll from his backpack and made a seal with his hands. As the smoke dissipated, a jar of fine wine and a pile of spellcasting materials appeared on the ground.

"These are all my treasures. I'll let you pick one!"

Uchiha Jiro, who was struggling, waved his hands painfully and said,
Uchiha Fire Core:
"Hehe, I didn't expect that Jiro, that boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also violate the three ninja prohibitions."

Uchiha Gin recalled the boy who seemed honest but was actually very dirty and worked in the dungeon, and laughed to show his support.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

With a dark face, Uchiha Dalang put away the fine wine on the table and said a little embarrassedly,

"It's okay. After all, it's not good for you to drink too strong alcohol in your current health. Erlang may be worried about you."

Thinking of Uchiha Dalang's physical condition, Uchiha Gin thought for a moment and decided to find an excuse for his young colleague. After all, he had to ask the other party for help when he went into the dungeon to fight. If his leg was broken, he would have to walk again after someone else took over his position.

"Hmph! I hope so."

Uchiha Dalang felt warm in his heart and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he still replied stubbornly.

While Uchiha Gin was chatting animatedly with his old teammates, the three people in the box saw a completely different scene.

In the box

Uchiha Ako brought tea and poured it for the three people in the box one by one. He glanced at the silent people and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
"When did this guy Yin attract so many girls?"

She was quite familiar with Senju Itama and Uchiha Jiji, and the two of them would come to the store to consume every few days, but she had never seen the black-haired girl sitting alone on the side.

"Sister Yazi, remember to serve me a fish!"

Senju Itama, who was originally whispering with Uchiha Ji, immediately made his request when he saw that the person who received them was an acquaintance.

"Okay, Xiaobanma, what about you, Xiaozhi?"

Uchiha Ayako agreed with a smile, then turned to ask the purple-haired girl,

"Sister Yazi, I want some chicken wings."

Uchiha Jiji smiled and ordered her favorite chicken wings.

"This lady?"

After noting down the two people's requests, Uchiha Ayako asked Uchiha Hikaru who had remained silent. Judging from his hairstyle, he must be a pure member of the Uchiha clan.

"I'll eat whatever Yin orders."

Judging from the performance of the two people traveling with him, Yin is very familiar with the people in this store.

After being sealed for so many years, can I integrate into his life again?

"Is Yin familiar with the people in this store?"

After Uchiha Ayako left, Uchiha Guang was the first to break the silence. She couldn't leave her alone without knowing anything. From now on, she would try her best to understand every detail about Gin.

"The owner of this restaurant is Mr. Yin's former teammate. He opened this barbecue restaurant after he was injured and retired."

Senju Itama, who didn't want to talk to Uchiha Hikaru, turned his head away and pretended not to hear.

Uchiha Jiji, who sensed that the girl was not someone to be trifled with, tried to ease the embarrassment by explaining to her softly,
"Thank you. Can I ask you to manage it?"

Uchiha Hikaru temporarily put aside her grudges and decided to get to know Gin. She decided to start with the purple-haired Uchiha girl in front of her. The other party didn't seem to have any emotional ties with Gin, so she could make friends with her without worry.

"You are too polite, senior. You can just call me Xiaozhi."

Although the Uchiha Hikari in front of her looked only a few years older than her, she could sense from his aura that he was definitely not as young as one would expect from the naked eye.

“Good little governance, I wanted to ask.”

Uchiha Hikaru, who successfully got in touch with the purple-haired girl, nodded with satisfaction in his heart. He had taken the first step towards success.

"Sister Zhili! How could you betray your best friend?"

Looking at the two girls having a lively conversation, Senju Itama felt deeply betrayed. She felt that she had been bullied, and more than once.

"Xiao Zhili and I are of the same clan, so we should have a closer relationship."

Hearing what Senju Itama said, Uchiha Hikaru turned around with a smile in his eyes and explained "kindly" to this defeated general who was deserted by everyone,

"That's not the case. Although Senior Guang is of the same clan as me and we share the same blood, Banjian and I have known each other for many years and have become as close as brothers." The purple-haired girl treated both of them equally and spoke in a way that did not offend either of them. She was well versed in the doctrine of the mean.

"By the way, I have had a question since the beginning, and I would like to ask Senior Guang."

Uchiha Jiji and Uchiha Guang had almost finished their conversation, and finally found an opportunity to ask the other party,

??? Uchiha Hikaru’s question mark face.

"Since Senior Guang and Mr. Yin grew up together as childhood sweethearts, why is Mr. Yin already thirty years old, while Senior Guang still looks like he is twenty-eight?"

Hearing his own mouth asking the question he wanted to know the answer to the most, Senju Itama, who was silently drinking tea, pricked up his ears very high, for fear of missing something.

"Um~ Sorry, this question is confidential. I can't reveal it to anyone without permission."

Uchiha Tajima had previously told the two not to reveal what happened during the mission and Uchiha Hikaru's experience, so the girl could only refuse to answer Uchiha Ji's questions.

"Oh~~~Since it's a secret, I won't ask any more questions."

The sensible Uchiha Jiji immediately said that he would not ask about it again, while Senju Itama curled his lips.
"Hmph! An old woman who's playing tricks on me."

Uchiha Guang, who was good at listening, clenched her fists. The more she looked at this black-haired brat, the more she disliked him, as if they were born to be incompatible with each other.

Uchiha Guang suppressed his anger, raised his head and smiled. Just as he was about to continue asking about Gin, he heard a commotion outside, followed by Uchiha Gin's unique voice.

"What a coincidence! What a coincidence! Big cousin and little cousin, you are back?"

……

"Let's go together!"

"Shh!"

The door of the box was pushed open, and the three people in the room looked up at the door at the same time. They saw that in addition to Uchiha Gin, there were two men with cold and handsome auras standing outside. They were the brothers Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna.

"I didn't expect to run into you right after I got back."

Uchiha Madara's icy face was filled with helplessness at the moment. He had just returned from patrolling the front lines and was preparing to go out with his brother Izuna to reward himself with a good meal. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered this extremely famous barbecue restaurant in the family, he was discovered by Uchiha Gin who was sitting in the lobby.

"Cousin, are you really going to welcome us?"

The young Izumi Nai, who was standing by, had a bright smile on his face, having just shed his childishness. Originally, this meal was supposed to be treated by him, as he had lost the competition to his brother, but now, he had met his generous cousin, so he didn't have to spend any money.

"We are all brothers, why are you being so polite to me? Come in and sit down!"

Uchiha Gin smiled and patted Uchiha Madara's shoulder, pushing the two of them into the box. They had no choice but to walk in reluctantly.

Huh?
After entering the box, Uchiha Madara instinctively felt a sense of threat. A cold and gloomy atmosphere filled the entire box, making him alert. One hand quietly reached for the sword at his waist.

"Hang the knife here. It's inconvenient to eat with it on. It will stab people randomly."

Before he could react, Uchiha Gin's hand had already touched his sword. Before he could refuse, the other party took his sword in a flash and then hung it on the shelf in the box.

Uchiha Madara was shocked for a moment. This technique? This speed?

But before he could think further, his younger brother quickly took a seat.

Izunai's vigilance is too poor. He must practice more in the future to avoid being ambushed on the battlefield.

"Cousin, who is this girl?"

After Izuna hurriedly sat down, he realized that in addition to the familiar Senju Itama and Uchiha Jiji, there was also a black-haired girl he had never seen before, staring at him thoughtfully, which made him feel a little scared. The restless little cousin couldn't help but whisper to Uchiha Gin beside him,

"Friends, friends who have grown up together."

The girl's identity was not directly introduced, she was simply called a childhood friend.

"Ah? You two are so different, aren't you?"

After comparing the sizes of the two in his mind, the straightforward Uchiha Izuna said with shining eyes, as if he had discovered a shocking bug.

"You can be her father."

"Bang!!!"

"Can you give me some face outside, brother?"

Izuna, who was rewarded with the Uchiha Taijutsu Secret Second Style by Uchiha Gin, covered the big bump on her head and complained to the culprit aggrievedly,
"You talk too much."

Blowing the smoke off his fist, Uchiha Gin said with a look of disappointment on his face, and then he secretly glanced at Uchiha Hikaru who looked uneasy, "Izuna, this kid is getting more and more outspoken, your cousin is doing this to save you!"

"Ayin, are they the brothers you mentioned?"

Uchiha Guang, whose complexion had returned to normal, looked at the three brothers interacting with each other with a smile on his face, and asked in a gentle tone, looking like a virtuous person.

"Yes, I mentioned it to you before."

Recalling the time in the research institute, Uchiha Gin smiled and introduced the two to the girl.
"This boy who is a bit jumpy is my younger cousin Izuna, and the one over there who looks unfriendly is my older cousin Madara."

"My name is Uchiha Hikaru, and I'm your sister-in-law and cousin's childhood sweetheart."

The girl braked in time and quickly changed the subject, almost saying what was in her heart.

Uchiha Hikaru?

Hearing the girl's self-introduction, Uchiha Madara's eyes turned slightly. There seemed to be traces of this name in his childhood memories, but it shouldn't be the case. This girl looked much younger than him.

I must be going crazy thinking about the wooden man!
