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

Chapter 226 The company went bankrupt

"Banjian, come home often when you have time~"

As the door of the Uchiha Gin family was pushed open, Senju Itama escorted his two brothers to the door. Senju Hashirama looked at his resurrected sister with a brother's concern in his eyes and said sincerely,

"If you have any grievances, tell your brothers. Although the eldest brother is not good at speaking, he knows a little bit of fighting~"

"Don't underestimate me, I can handle it myself."

"Ibanjian, did you want to kill me just now?"

Compared to the reluctant Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, who was intact but with a shadow in his heart, asked in an inexplicable tone,

Just now, because he misinterpreted Hashirama Senju's words, he almost got hit by a full-power heart-piercing punch. Fortunately, his elder brother was quick-witted and blocked the attack, otherwise he might have to go to see father.

"Humph! Who told you to talk nonsense? If I hear you say weird things again, I'll smash your head!"

When the girl thought of what Senju Tobirama had just said, a few red clouds appeared on her face. Then she put her hands on her hips, bared her two cute little fangs, and warned in a soft voice, but the shyness in her eyes made her two brothers feel bitter.

"Okay, we'll stick to our agreement and pretend we don't know you in public."

Senju Hashirama waved his hands helplessly. He couldn't understand why Yimaotuo, whom he hadn't seen for many years, wanted the two brothers to pretend not to know him. Was there some unspeakable secret?
But as long as the person is still alive, it is a great joy, so there is nothing unacceptable about this strange agreement.

"Yeah, yeah, let's go, I have to go shopping with my girlfriend later~"

After calculating the time in her mind, Senju Itama urged the two to leave. She was very upset and needed to find a trustworthy person of the same sex to confide in.

"Itama, I heard that Uchiha Gin's private life is extremely immoral. Not only does he live with a younger girl, but he also hooks up with a widow. You must keep your eyes open!"

In the end, Tobirama Senju refused to give up and slandered his sister's white moonlight based on the unfounded rumors.

"Will win!"

? ? ? ? ? ?
……

The storm has subsided, and Uchiha Gin, who has separated from the two female teams, has continued his exploration mode. Compared with the previous few days, there are more and more unfamiliar faces on the streets of the newborn Konoha.

There are also many temporary stalls on both sides of the street, filled with special products of various ethnic groups.

There is an Inuzuka clan that sells dog food. Hmm... buy some for my older cousin. I think he likes it.

There was also the chubby Akimichi clan, selling the secret medicine that his little cousin had given him, with the slogan written next to it,

[Increase growth and last longer, it’s good for you, me and her]

Well... I have a friend who really needs it. I’ll come buy it later when there are fewer people around!

"Boss, how much do you sell this deer antler for?"

Suddenly, when passing by a stall, Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows, squatted down, picked up a good-looking deer antler, and asked the listless stall owner,

"Big opening promotion, for only 10000 taels, you can take home a wild-raised deer antler from our Nara clan. It helps to invigorate the muscles and blood circulation...especially to strengthen the kidneys, and has excellent effects!"

Hearing that there was a guest coming, the sleepy young man from the Nara clan immediately perked up. Looking at Uchiha Gin, who looked like he had kidney deficiency, he introduced him very professionally.

"Uh...what do you mean by that? Who are you looking down on?"

Uchiha Gin, holding his waist, frowned and glared at the pineapple-headed man who was talking nonsense. His frightening aura made the young man from Nara, who had just arrived, a little breathless.
"Humph! Pack them all for me. I have a friend who just needs some mending..."

Just as the Nara boy was thinking rapidly, he saw a golden object in front of him, and then he heard Uchiha Gin's confident voice.

He subconsciously picked up the gold and took a bite. After testing it, he hurriedly packed the antlers on the ground and respectfully handed them to the big customer in front of him.
"Dear guest, if your friend needs anything else, please remember to contact our Nara clan."

"Are you, the Nara clan, ready to join Konoha?"

Taking the deer antlers he bought for his friend, Uchiha Gin looked at the distinctive pineapple head in front of him curiously and asked,

"Yes, our clan leader has already moved all the family businesses here, to the forest outside Konoha."

The Nara boy, holding the gold brick happily, did not hide the fact that the Nara clan had joined, and told Uchiha Gin the truth.

Tsk! Even the deer have come here. The Nara clan has a very clear understanding of the situation.

After all, although Konoha looks like a makeshift team now, with the protection of the two major families, the Senju and Uchiha, it is definitely an excellent place for a small family like theirs to reproduce and thrive.

"Welcome, welcome. Let's play chess together when we are free~"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Gin picked up the deer antler, said hello to the Nara boy, and turned and left.

"Hey, how did he know I like playing chess?"

The young man from Nara, who was still looking at the gold brick in his hand, was suddenly stunned after hearing what Uchiha Gin said. A trace of doubt flashed in his lifeless eyes.
Then he saw a chess record scattered on the ground, and it suddenly dawned on him that the other party must have seen the chess record he was studying, so he said that.

"That pineapple-head guy should be Shikamaru's great-grandfather, otherwise why do they look so similar?"

Carrying the heavy antlers, Uchiha Gin looked up at the rock wall above Konoha Village.

"Now all we need is a rock sculpture. It's worth it that I have survived all these years and finally made it out of Konoha Village~"

With a sigh, Uchiha Gin hummed a little tune and walked towards his friend's newly opened barbecue restaurant. After all, he had bought so many high-quality deer antlers, it would not be good for him to enjoy them all by himself, so he took out a few of them as a opening gift for Dalang!

……

On the other side, in the temporary office of the Qianshou brothers.

"So, you still couldn't escape the iron fist punishment of Banma after all!"

Senju Hashirama, who was busy processing documents, heard his brother's nagging, raised his head with a strange look, looked at the big bag displayed by Senju Tobirama, and said with a forced smile,

"Alas~ I don't know what kind of education Banjian has received over the years. He has changed from such a well-behaved and sensible child to what he is now."

Senju Tobirama's palms glowed green as he carefully treated his swollen wounds. He winced in pain and complained with gritted teeth,

"Uh... I think Itama is becoming more and more like his mother."

After moving his slightly swollen wrist, Hashirama Senju, who had also been hit by a punch, looked nostalgic as he recalled his mother's voice, appearance and smile, and compared them with his own lovely and spoiled sister, and found that they were exactly the same.

"Well, now that you know the good news that Itama is still alive, you should be more motivated to work, right?"

Looking at his smiling elder brother, Tobirama Senju, who was reducing the swelling on his head wound, rolled his eyes and said,

"Of course. By the way, you just said that the Sarutobi clan also agreed to join. Is that true?"

"Sarutobi Sasuke promised it himself, and with his status as the leader of the delegation, the members of the Ninja Alliance should agree to it soon."

There was a thoughtful gleam in Senju Tobirama's eyes. Although the ninja alliance headed by the Sarutobi clan did not have super-model combat power, its overall strength should not be underestimated.

If such a force joins Konoha, then they can immediately move on to the next step, that crucial plan.

"If they agree, then do they have to fulfill the conditions they proposed before?"

From the pile of documents, he dug out the details of their negotiation with the Ninja Clan. When he saw the amount written as a request but actually a condition, he frowned and asked,

"Since they have agreed to join, we must also show corresponding sincerity. This matter... Brother, will you go and discuss it?"

When he thought about dealing with those hateful hedgehog-heads, Senju Tobirama felt uncomfortable all over. His face immediately turned bad, and he asked with a very subtle expression,
"I have discussed this matter with Madara a long time ago. He said that the Uchiha clan can accept it. After all... those people also need to eat~"

.........

Following the smell, he strolled all the way to Dalang's newly opened barbecue restaurant. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a few familiar faces sitting at a table. Uchiha Gin's eyes lit up and he immediately went over.

"Hey, you didn't invite me to your party. You think I'm an outsider, don't you?"

Uchiha Gin pulled out a chair and sat down without any hesitation. He threw the deer antlers on the table and looked at the familiar tribesmen in front of him. He pouted and complained,

"What are you talking about? We just didn't want to disturb Master Yin's rest, so we didn't inform you."

The first to speak was Uchiha Gin's best tool, Uchiha Rokucha, known as the king of overtime. After years of training, this once cautious jailer has also become somewhat dignified as a superior. However, when facing his mentor, he is used to lowering his posture, with a touch of respect in his eyes.

"Lü Cha, you're in prison. I've told you so many times that once we get out of this prison, we're brothers. Why are you being so polite to me?"

Facing the respectful Uchiha Lucha, Uchiha Yin criticized him angrily,

"That's right, Brother Lu Cha, don't you know what kind of person Brother Yin is?"

Uchiha Jiro, who was sitting nearby, poked the deer antlers curiously, and then said,
"Ji Lang, where's your brother?"

"Just now, a chubby customer ordered barbecue for twenty people. Is Big Brother preparing it in the kitchen now?"

"It seems that your brother's business has been booming since moving to Konoha!"

Uchiha Gin, who roughly guessed who the customer was, was sincerely happy for his friend. If the Akimichi clan became a stable customer, Dalang would surely make a fortune.

"Master Yin, I'm really sorry that I couldn't help you today."

When Uchiha Gin finished sighing, Mawei Huohe, who was sitting next to Jiro, lowered his head and asked for forgiveness in a somewhat reserved manner.
"It's okay, you've handled it well. Now is a time of trouble, the Uchiha clan should not be too ostentatious for the time being." He saw Uchiha Huohe's partiality today, and naturally had no opinion on this straightforward guy, but suddenly remembered the boy who followed Huohe and didn't look like a good person, so he asked one more question.
"Who is that little devil who follows you around and has worse breath than your foot?"

"Um... Lord Gin, don't you remember? That was Setsuna!"

"Setsuna? Oh, now I remember, he's Liuying's youngest son, right?"

Uchiha Gin muttered to himself for a few seconds before he suddenly remembered that the gloomy look in that brat's eyes was exactly the same as Uchiha Liuying's. Wasn't that the little Setsuna whom he had tortured before?

When talking about Setsuna, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but miss the leisurely time in the dungeon. At that time, Uchiha Ryukage always liked to bring his youngest son to work.

Faced with an ignorant and arrogant kid, Uchiha Gin took action without hesitation. While gaining a large amount of mental energy, he also made the young Uchiha Setsuna experience the dangers of the world. In the end, the kid ran away crying, and it was said that he went to a training camp for further studies. He was never seen again after that.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, the kid's character is still so bad, with that typical narrow-minded Uchiha mentality. He needs to go to the dungeon and continue to work hard to reform himself.

"By the way, why did you guys think of getting together?"

Grabbing a handful of melon seeds from the table, Uchiha Gin cracked them and asked curiously,

"Brother Yin, don't you know?"

"Um...I haven't been to work recently. Can you tell me about it?"

Facing the three people's puzzled looks, Uchiha Gin scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then raised his neck and spoke out to explain,
"My eldest cousin has been in seclusion recently, so I am here to handle government affairs for him~"

"Then Lord Yin, you should know what happened, right?"

"Cough cough cough... I just caught a cold and took a day off yesterday."

Thinking back to the government affairs that were thrown to his little cousin, Uchiha Gin, who had always pretended to be busy, talked nonsense in a serious manner.

"Oh~ Sweep and kill me."

After hearing Uchiha Gin's weak explanation, the three people who were familiar with his character all had an expression of "so that's it". They looked at each other tacitly, with mockery in their eyes.

"Okay, stop keeping me in suspense. I'll treat you to this meal. Go ahead and tell me!"

Scratching his face guiltily, Uchiha Gin waved his hand, indicating that all the bills for the table would be paid by Young Master Yin.

"Okay, that's what I've been waiting for, big brother! Give us ten more servings of premium beef!"

Hearing someone pay the bill, Uchiha Jiro stood up excitedly and shouted to his brother who was busy in the kitchen,
"And oysters, give me ten dozen more!"

Uchiha Lucha followed closely behind. He had been working overtime for several nights for a certain curly-haired job, and he simply couldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"..."

Uchiha Gin looked at the two rude brats speechlessly, and turned his gaze to Uchiha Hotaru who had not spoken yet. Just as he was about to praise him, saying that this kid still had a conscience, he heard him slowly speak,
"Ten servings of tuna, and caviar, thank you~"

"puff!!!"

I was wrong after all. I thought you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, were a good person. I never expected...

"Master Yin, there is actually something I have never told you."

After ordering the expensive tuna, Uchiha Kanoko looked at Uchiha Gin who looked grief-stricken, and said in a strange tone,
"Nani, do you have any other shocking secrets?"

Uchiha Gin, who was immersed in sadness, changed his expression after hearing Uchiha Hinata's words. The false sadness disappeared instantly, and his face was filled with strong curiosity. He wanted to hear what secrets this kid had hidden.

"I have a very close brother, his name is Uchiha Ryoichi."

"what?"

Uchiha Gin was stunned, and looking at the embarrassment in Uchiha Hinata's eyes, he suddenly understood everything.

The reason why Huohe, this kid, "backstabbed" him was to avenge his brother. He endured humiliation for many years and finally found a chance to cheat him out of ten servings of tuna plus caviar.

"How is Ryoichi doing in prison?"

No wonder the boy's ponytail looked so familiar to me. It turned out that he was the younger brother of an old friend. Memories of the past came to my mind. Uchiha Gin sighed at the passing of time. A trace of worry emerged in his heart. Then he asked,
"After the ceasefire, Brother Liangyi was appointed as the instructor of the training camp, specializing in teaching the art of throwing."

It was not the bad news that Uchiha Gin had imagined. On the contrary, Ryoichi was doing well, and his exquisite throwing skills were put to good use.

"Not only Brother Liangyi, but Brother Feihe is also working there, teaching swordsmanship."

"Where's Captain Fenghuo?"

They are a team of four, so how can they be without Uchiha Fenghuo.

"I was just about to say that Uchiha Fenghuo is the current principal of the training camp."

Unexpectedly, the brothers who had carried guns together back then have all found a good destination. Some have gone to sea, and some have come ashore. It is really cause for celebration.

Thinking about his identity as the chief prison guard, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but sigh. Everyone has caught up with a good era. If it were after the establishment of Konoha, the degree of involution in the industry would be very serious. Dozens of people would covet one position.

"Hey, BBQ is here!"

While they were chatting, Uchiha Dalang, with a smile on his face, came over with a preheated oven.
"Da Lang, would you like to sit down and eat something too?"

The stove was emitting a scorching aroma, and the pre-roasted meat on top was making sizzling sounds, making everyone's appetites whet. Uchiha Gin looked at Uchiha Dalang, whose face was already quite frosted, and greeted him,

"I still have ingredients to prepare in the kitchen. We have a big order tonight. I, Uchiha Dalang, represent the pinnacle of the Uchiha cuisine world. I will definitely make those outsiders succumb to my secret barbecue!"

Uchiha Dalang shook his head resolutely, waving his fists, his eyes burning with fighting spirit, and his tone full of fighting intent, leaving Uchiha Gin speechless.
Tsk! You are just a barbecue guy, but you made me feel more passionate than Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. Do you want to go to the world of Xiao Dangan to learn?

"Sure enough, ambition can make people younger. Look at Dalang, isn't he living like an 18-year-old boy? So, as long as young people are willing to work hard, they will always be young~"

Yes, salary too!
Looking at Uchiha Dalang's leaving back, Uchiha Gin nodded as if in agreement, and then, in the tone of an experienced person, scooped a bowl of poisonous chicken soup for the three people who were showing off their barbecue.

"Huh?"*3
You are the least qualified to say such things, you slacker, the most stubborn salary thief in the Uchiha clan!
The three of them rolled their eyes in tacit understanding, no longer paying attention to the pretentious Uchiha Gin, and continued to show off their barbecue with their heads down.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop eating. Why don't you tell me what happened?"

Uchiha Gin couldn't help feeling a little disappointed as he failed to cleanse the three people's dirty souls. Could it be that he had said too much in the past few years, causing these guys to acquire immune antibodies?

"Oh, I almost forgot. During the time you were away, the clan leader issued a pardon document. We just finished checking the content with the files today, so we are having a dinner together to celebrate the successful completion of the final work!"

Uchiha Lucha patted his chest, swallowed the fat and lean barbecue in his mouth, showed an expression of enjoyment, then put down his chopsticks and began to explain the whole story to Uchiha Yin.
"Pardon documents? What does it say?"

In fact, it was not that Uchiha Gin wanted to skip work, but because of some unspeakable personal reasons, he had to work overtime until late at night every night, and then dragged his tired body back to his room to rest. When he woke up, it was almost the next afternoon.

"In order to get the ninjas outside to join Konoha, Senju Hashirama promised to release the ninjas imprisoned in the dungeon."

Speaking of releasing prisoners, Uchiha Lucha's face instantly turned ugly. After all, the fact that he had been detained for so many years meant that this prisoner must have done something that harmed the interests of the Uchiha clan. How could a pure Uchiha clan member like him accept being released so easily?

"Nani, how can this be possible!"

Those criminals who committed heinous crimes are Uchiha Gin's stable supplier of mental energy points. Although they have been almost squeezed out of him in the past few years, it is better than nothing. Otherwise, he would have to knock on doors from house to house to see if there are any children who can be bullied.

"That's right. Those imprisoned in the dungeon are basically prisoners of the Ninja Clan. If they are all released, the dungeon will be empty!"

Uchiha Jiro, who was skillfully flipping the barbecue, also had an indignant look on his face and spoke in a bad tone.

"Rumor has it that the Senju clan has already started to release their prisoners. Now they are putting our Uchiha clan on the line. If we hesitate for a moment, we may be accused of being detrimental to Konoha's development."

As the clan leader's personal guard, Uchiha Huohe knew more inside information than Uchiha Lucha and the other two. He stuffed the fat and tender fish meat into his mouth, with a rare anger on his cold face, and analyzed aloud,

It seems that the Senju brothers are really working hard for the development of Konoha, and they are even willing to release their former enemies in order to attract the ninja clan to join.

However, the Senju clan made a big fuss, while the Uchiha clan was quiet and released all the people at the right time. Those ninja clans would only be grateful to the Senju clan for having done the publicity.
The Uchiha who does the hardest and most tiring work may not necessarily be praised, and may even be accused of being detrimental to unity as Huohe said.

"Humph! How many prisoners do they have in the Senju clan? With their despicable fighting style, it is difficult for the enemy to leave any alive. Unlike us Uchiha, we use illusions to control them and then use fireballs..."

Uchiha Dalang, who had been listening attentively in the kitchen, couldn't help but lift the curtain and complained,

Okay, okay, I understand. We Uchiha are the most caring ninja clan.

No one understands the value of Haohuoqiu's compassion better than me.

"Alas~ You have said so much, but it is too late now. The Ninja Alliance headed by the Sarutobi clan has almost confirmed that they will join."

The Sarutobi Sasuke I met today has already publicly confirmed that he will join Konoha. Now that the leader has entered the circle, the little Karamis behind him will have to enter with their eyes closed.

"Yes, this is the general trend. We are just complaining, but we can't change anything."

After hearing the latest news from Uchiha Gin, the three of them sighed in unison, imagined the sizzling barbecue as the hateful Senju, and continued to launch fierce attacks.

"Oh, it's not all bad. If the dungeon is empty, we can rest for a long time~"

Finally, among a bunch of bad things, Uchiha Gin found something good that could comfort them.

"Huh? Lord Gin, didn't you receive the notice that the Uchiha clan's dungeon is going to be closed? You're out of work!"
