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

Chapter 231 Today is another day full of hope

"what are you up to?"

In the dim backstage, the jailer's figure was against the light, making it difficult to see his face. Only his fluffy curly hair shone brightly under the light. Yamanaka Soichiro was in a state of doubt and confusion. He clutched his collar tightly with one hand and covered his anus with the other. His voice was filled with a hint of fear.

Now he was the only one in this room, with his former cellmates all in the back. If something scandalous happened here, no one would know.
"Hey~Brother Soichiro, you don't want to appear in front of everyone in such a messy outfit, right?"

Slowly walking into the backstage, the wooden clone who was in charge of guarding the prisoners smiled very teasingly. Seeing that Yamanaka Soichiro was very nervous, he immediately spoke to comfort him,
"Huh~ You are really careful. This outfit really doesn't fit me well."

After hearing Uchiha Gin's explanation, Yamanaka Soichiro finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at the pale prison uniform he was wearing. Although the material of this clothes was excellent and it was close-fitting and comfortable to wear, it was indeed ungraceful to wear it outside.

"Yes, yes, yes, what are you waiting for? Take off your clothes quickly. Your family members are waiting anxiously outside~"

Yamanaka Soichiro, who was very insightful, did not doubt it and directly shattered his clothes to pieces. His belly, which had been very plump over the years, was instantly exposed to the air.

"And your underwear, take it off too~"

Uchiha Gin, who was standing by, smiled very strangely, causing Yamanaka Soichiro to hesitate in grabbing his underwear.

"No need, I just changed my underwear this morning."

"Hey! When we go out, we can't take anything from the prison with us. It's unlucky."

Uchiha Gin immediately explained seriously, making people feel that there was nothing wrong with it.
Things in prison are unlucky.

"Well, we are all grown men anyway~"

Feeling that Uchiha Gin's explanation was reasonable, Yamanaka Soichiro nodded and tore open his last line of defense. His brand new underwear turned into snowflakes and scattered on the cold ground.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Soichiro is still as good as ever~"

Yamanaka Soichiro put his hands on his hips, and after hearing Uchiha Gin's sigh, he smiled very proudly, and even deliberately straightened his waist forward to highlight that he was an old man with a sharp sword.

"Click~Click~Yes, that's it, a few more poses, this is a recruitment picture~"

Just as Soichiro Yamanaka was waiting for the new clothes prepared by the other party, he suddenly heard a clicking sound in his ears. He opened his eyes in confusion, only to see a burst of white light crackling. Uchiha Gin, holding a camera, was taking a 360° photo of himself at an extremely fast speed.

"You!!! What do you want to do!"

Yamanaka Soichiro, who found that the situation was not good, immediately helped himself to his three points. His old face turned red, and he angrily shouted at Uchiha Gin, the instigator,
"I'm sorry, Brother Soichiro, but we brothers have to eat too. What you can wear when you go out will all depend on the younger generations of your family~"

After taking the photo, Uchiha Gin put down the camera in his hand and looked at the ashamed and angry Yamanaka Soichiro with an "apology" look on his face, with deep helplessness in his tone.
"Don't leave! Give the photo back to me!!!"

The naked Yamanaka Soichiro could only watch Uchiha Gin's leaving backstage. He stood alone in the cold room backstage, shivering, hoping that the younger generations of his family could at least give him a pair of underwear.

On the stage outside, Uchiha Gin, who was communicating with the female representatives of the Yamanaka clan, took a stack of photos handed over by the wooden clone who was lowering his head beside him, and glanced at them. The smile on the corner of his mouth made Yamanaka Minako in front of him feel cold in her heart.

"Not bad, worthy of me, this shooting level is not much better than that of Edison Chen~"

"Ms. Yamanaka, before the auction, please take a look at our product information. We in the Uchiha clan are particular about the authenticity of the goods."

After browsing the photos in his hand, Uchiha Gin looked at Yama Minako who was in doubt and randomly picked out two photos that were not too explosive and handed them over.

"Is it so complicated? Just hand over the money and the person. Let me watch you do it. Do it. Do it. Ah!!!"

Minako Yama took the photo handed over by the other party with doubt, and her brows were furrowed with anxiety in her heart. She just wanted to take the person back as soon as possible. As she was complaining, her beautiful eyes subconsciously fell on the photo in her hand, making her pretty face instantly flushed, waves of heat rising in her head, and she couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Minako, what happened?"

As a member of the Ino-Shika-Cho group, Shinji Akimichi heard Minako Yama's exclamation and immediately came over, wanting to ask what she had seen.

"No! Nothing."

Minako Yama, who was holding the photo, saw a round figure coming from a distance after a short period of brain idleness. She subconsciously covered the photo in her hand and her eyes became erratic, which made Shinji Akimichi, who came hurriedly, a little confused.

"what is that?"

It is said that small eyes focus light. Akimichi Shinji's puzzled little eyes immediately noticed the photo of Yama Minako pressed on her chest, so he asked in a puzzled voice,

"."

"That's a true record of the current situation of the Yamanaka clan prisoners. I'm going to give Ms. Yamanaka a heads-up in advance, otherwise when the prisoners come out later, I'm afraid she might not be able to accept it~"

In response to Yama Minako who was silent and didn't know how to respond, Uchiha Gin, the host, explained considerately,
"How dare you be so despicable!"

They thought that what the other party took out were the photos that recorded the bloody photos of the prisoners after being tortured, and that the Uchiha clan was trying to use this method to force them to pay money to ransom the prisoners. Thinking of this, Akimichi Shinji burst out with an astonishing aura, his wide robe moved without wind, and his palms condensed with thick Yang escape power, as if it was about to explode in the next moment.

Among the crowd watching from the stage, after sensing the chakra bursting out from Shinji Akimichi, Hashirama, with a tense heart, clapped his hands immediately, and the rich power of wood escape quickly condensed. However, an arm blocked in front of him, causing his movements to stagnate.
"Brother! Don't be impulsive, there are ordinary people here."

Senju Tobirama looked solemn, one hand blocked his elder brother, the other hand made a seal, ready to raise his finger at any time. There were so many villagers watching at the scene, if the elder brother didn't control his strength, the village that they had just built with great effort would be destroyed. You know, they still owed a large loan to the Wave Country.
Facing the threatening hand of Akimichi Shinji, Uchiha Gin was not panicked at all, and even looked forward to it. If the other party really took action, then what would be taken later would not be just a photo.

"Stop! Shinji, this is our Yamanaka clan's business."

Just when Akimichi Shinji was about to attack, a tall figure blocked his way. Yama Minako, with a gloomy expression, spoke coldly to stop him, then turned to look at the smiling Uchiha Gin and said,

"Uchiha Gin, right? Start your auction. We, the Yamanaka clan, will do our best."

"Okay, I like straightforward clients like you. What was I talking about just now?"

Although there was no conflict, which was a pity for Uchiha Gin, it did not affect his way of making money.

"What do you mean by guaranteeing the original image and product?"

The two photos were still in her mind. Yama Minako's face was slightly flushed. Her beautiful blue eyes were fixed on the handsome curly-haired man in front of her. With a strange feeling, she said,
Just now, when Uchiha Gin was communicating with Yama Minako, he told the other party that although the prisoner only wanted 200 million, if he only paid 200 million, he could only guarantee % original pictures and original products.

"Is this what you mean by original image and original product?"

In her heart, she cursed the despicable Uchiha in front of her, Yama Minako, and with a tense face, she asked aloud,
"Yes, it's real~"

"What is your purpose in humiliating our mountain tribe like this?"

Unexpectedly, the other party admitted it so generously. Yama Minako was so angry that her chest heaved, and her two round white breasts were about to come out, which made Uchiha Gin subconsciously look away.

"We Uchiha will treat every prisoner equally. We are not targeting you, the Yamanaka clan."

Uchiha Gin, whose eyes were wandering, locked his gaze on the other person's face and explained sincerely,
"What exactly do you want to do?"

If it was just pure humiliation, the hateful curly-haired man in front of him could have just pulled out the naked elder Soichiro and let her face the ridicule of the people around her. Why was he still wasting his words with her? Yama Minako frowned and spoke again, with a tone of compromise in her voice.

"Haha, ma'am, you don't want your elder to become a bird-walking uncle in public, do you?"

Seeing this beautiful girl from the mountain clan in front of him, with her head down and her chest hunched, looking like she was at the mercy of others, Uchiha Gin was immediately frightened. He lowered his head beside her delicate earlobe and whispered slowly,
"No! I'll agree to anything you ask for!"

Bewitched by the devilish whispers, there was only panic in Yama Minako's eyes. Her usual ruthlessness and decisiveness disappeared completely. Her trembling hands tightly grasped Uchiha Gin's cuffs, like a good housewife who was about to be cuckolded.

"Uh, don't be like that, I'm a serious person."

Suddenly, he felt several gazes from the crowd that pierced his back. Uchiha Gin immediately shook off the other party's tender hands with righteous words. His dead fish eyes were filled with clarity and purity, as if he could see the holy light emerging behind him.
"what?"

Yama Minako, who was about to fall, also came to her senses after hearing this. Her pretty face turned red, and there was some inexplicable meaning in her eyes when she looked at Uchiha Gin.
"Ahem, ahem, if you don't want Brother Soichiro to come out with a clean record, you'll have to spend some money."

He waved his hand to dispel the somewhat charming atmosphere, and explained the rules to the strange-looking Yama Minako in front of him.
"Krypton Gold?"

Yama Minako, who had never heard of this word, raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion,
"16w8, only 16w8 per draw, if you get it right, you can take the high-end fashion home immediately~"

Uchiha Gin stood up, jumped back to the center of the stage, raised the microphone in his hand, and shouted loudly,
"Do you want your family's heroes to return to the ninja world in a magnificent manner?"

"Do you want your elders, who have worked hard for most of their lives, to have a complete transformation when they grow old?"

"Think about the love and teachings they have given you, why are you still hesitating?"

"For only 16 yuan, the most fashionable fashion designer in Wave Country will personally make exquisite clothes for you to wear immediately!"

"What do you mean? It was supposed to be an auction of prisoners, how did it turn into a clothes sale?"

The onlookers who did not know the truth were confused by Uchiha Gin's sudden advertisement and asked questions out of curiosity.

"What on earth is that Uchiha doing? 200 million per person, and he wants to spend 16 yuan to buy a piece of clothing?"

In the crowd, Kenichi Shimura, who looked confused, couldn't help but elbow Sarutobi Sasuke beside him, and asked his friend with a frown.

"I don't know either. Let's see how Minako handles it."

Sarutobi Sasuke didn't understand what Uchiha Gin was doing, but the one doing the transaction now was the Yamanaka clan, so the ninjas like them should just wait and see.

"I'll smoke! I'll smoke now!"

Minako Yama, who knew the trick, raised her hand impatiently and shouted that she wanted to spend money, leaving the crowd of onlookers confused.
"Minako actually agreed. Is that dress really that gorgeous?"

Everyone thought that the spoiled Yama Minako would flip the table, but unexpectedly she actually agreed to pay for that strange service, which surprised everyone in the Ninja Alliance who were familiar with her character.

"Don't worry, lift the machine up~"

Seeing the other party's cooperation, Uchiha Gin smiled and waved his hand. The jailers behind him cooperated to push out a large screen from behind the scenes and placed it in the center of the stage. The screen was full of technology that did not belong to this era. As soon as it appeared, it attracted heated discussions from the audience, "Tobirama, what is that?"

With a face full of curiosity, Hashirama Senju stood on tiptoe, trying to get a glimpse of what was going on. After a long time without finding out the way, he couldn't help but ask his younger brother, who was a technology expert beside him.

"I don't know either~"

At this time in the Fire Nation, the technology tree for electrical appliances has not yet been lit up, so naturally no one knows what the things in front of them are.

Satisfied at the surprised expressions of the people below, Uchiha Gin waved his hand and channeled his chakra into it. The gray screen lit up instantly, accompanied by a magical BGM, and a card drawing interface unique to the second game appeared on the screen.

In the picture, a sweet-looking girl from the second dimension is greeting people enthusiastically. Her soft and crisp voice makes everyone feel like they are in the spring breeze.

"Today is another day full of hope~"

"16 is just the price of one draw. The prize is a beautiful dress sponsored by Wave Country. Although there is a probability of winning, if you are very lucky, it is not impossible to win in one draw~"

Uchiha Gin smiled and opened the prize pool, generously announcing the winning rate to the public.

"There's a 16% chance of winning a prize, that's pretty good!"

Looking at the 16% clearly visible above, the onlookers couldn't help but exclaim, "This is a conscientious game, I want to play it."

"Give me one first!"

Minako Yama narrowed her beautiful eyes, carefully browsed the prize pool, and immediately threw out a wallet, indicating that she wanted to take a chance.

"One shot? Are you sure?"

He took the wallet that was thrown to him, which was still warm in his hand. He opened the wallet with a faint fragrance and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He confirmed,

"Hmph~ My luck is famously good!"

Minako Yama snorted softly, exposing her true identity as the European Emperor.

"Okay, I hope you can pull out a miracle, but I'm telling you in advance, our ten draws are guaranteed."

It is difficult to persuade a money-giving person with kind words. Seeing that Yama Minako was so stubborn, Uchiha Gin stopped trying to stop her. After saying a word of blessing, he put away the wallet that still carried his body temperature. Anyway, the wallet would be his in a short while.

"How do you draw?"

Minako Yama jumped onto the stage with her long legs, looking at the high-tech screen in front of her, not knowing what to do.
"Just slap Celia in the face~"

Uchiha Gin, who was counting money with his head down, pointed at the girl in the red dress with a sweet smile in the picture and gave instructions,

"Huh? You're really perverted~"

Unexpectedly, the lottery method was so weird. Yama Minako curled her lips, stretched out her hand, and slapped the screen.

"Ah~~"

There was only a blushing and heart-pounding gasp, and everyone present was curiously looking forward to it. Those in the front row were lucky enough to have a full view of the big screen, but those in the back row who couldn't see it were all scratching their heads.
"The art of the wooden man!"

Senju Hashirama, who was also in a state of panic, did not care about his brother's objection. He clasped his hands together and after controlling the strength, a several-meter-tall wooden man appeared on the spot. He pulled Senju Tobirama to stand on the top of the wooden man. The two brothers stared at the screen shining with blue light, wanting to witness the birth of the European Emperor.

"The art of doubling!"

Similarly, the Ninja Alliance, which arrived late, was unable to see the lottery process. Fortunately, Shinji Akimichi had just returned to the team. They saw this chubby man making seals with his hands, shouting loudly, and his whole body instantly expanded by several meters. The other people tacitly jumped onto his huge body and looked at the screen on the stage.

As a dazzling blue light lit up, Uchiha Gin, the developer, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It's just blue, just keep charging me!
"Ding~ Congratulations on getting a random clothing fragment*1."

Minako Yama, who was full of confidence, frowned so much that she could crush a cow when she saw the prize pop up on the screen. She immediately clicked on the prize introduction.

[Random clothing fragments: After collecting 40 pieces, you can synthesize random clothing. ]

"40 pieces? 16w8*40, less than 700 million. Your prize pool is just that~"

After calculating with the formula, Yama Minako's tense brows slowly relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face. Then she raised her head and raised her eyebrows provocatively at Uchiha Gin, who looked like an old lady.
"Alas, I have no choice but to take the bus."

Uchiha Gin put on a sad face with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Please don't recharge anymore. If you continue to recharge, I will lose so much that I can only become the richest man.

"Just give me ten shots!"

Yama Minako was full of confidence. She waved her hand with a heroic spirit, and Uchiha Gin shed tears of "movement".

"Ah~~~"

She slapped the sweet smiling face on the screen ten times in a row, and the screen suddenly burst into colorful light. When the light faded away, the smile on the face of the complacent Yama Minako froze instantly.

"Ding~ Congratulations on getting a random clothing fragment*2."

"Ding~ Congratulations on getting a random shoe fragment*1."

"Ding~ Congratulations on getting 2 random underwear fragments."

"Ding~Congratulations"

"What do you mean, clothes are sold separately?"

Looking at the pile of fragments in front of her, Yama Minako was so angry that she almost fainted. She stretched out her hand tremblingly, pointed at the evil developer, and angrily condemned,
"Hey~ That's a costume made by a famous designer. Every part is designed by a different designer. They must be sold separately~"

Uchiha Gin immediately spread his hands, indicating that this is the Uchiha uniform, you can play with it or not.

"Okay, okay~ Then what about my guarantee? Didn't you say there was a guarantee?"

Feeling that she was being tricked, Yama Minako recalled the ten-draw guarantee she had just mentioned. Feeling indignant, she immediately gritted her teeth and asked,
"There's a guaranteed gift box, right? Just open it~"

The considerate Uchiha Gin pointed to the glittering treasure box in the corner and said with a smile,

"Will the guaranteed bonus also be fragments?"

Yama Minako, with a look of doubt on her face, held her outstretched hand in mid-air. She turned her head to look at Uchiha Gin and asked again to confirm,

"No, no, no, the guaranteed gift box is definitely a finished product, and it's limited edition~"

I didn't expect that my conscientious card drawing system would be questioned. Uchiha looked distressed and shook his head to explain to the other party,
"Hmph~ I'll trust you for once."

Seeing that Uchiha Gin was sincere as usual, Yama Minako did not hesitate any longer. She pointed her slender white finger directly at the gift box. A dazzling purple light flashed by. When she opened her eyes again, everyone's eyes were fixed on the guaranteed finished product.

"Ding~ Congratulations on winning a hot bikini (summer limited edition)*1."

"Oops~ I forgot to tell you, these few days are the summer event period, the guaranteed gift boxes are all summer limited edition~"

Seeing Yama Minako looking dumbfounded, Uchiha Gin smiled teasingly and clicked on the introduction of the guaranteed gift box. There were four big words written on it:

【Summer Limited】

“rnm, refund the money!!!”

"you sure?"

"Wuwuwu~ Please give me ten more shots~"

"Congratulations on getting a random clothing fragment*1."

After a long time, the pale-faced Yama Minako tremblingly clicked on the pieces of clothing that she had finally put together in her prize. With a flash of blue light, her heart finally died.

"Congratulations on winning a 36D leopard print swimsuit."

"Shinji, Sasuke, lend me money!"

With a crazy look in her eyes, Yama Minako, who was already in a state of excitement, turned her gaze to her friends, lowered her pretty face, and said,
"Sorry, we'll need some later."

Having witnessed the lottery process where money was spent like water, the people of the Ninja Alliance held their pockets tightly, wondering why Yama Minako compromised and participated in the lottery.

"Excuse me, do you provide loan sharking services here?"

After failing to borrow money, Yama Minako finally locked her eyes on Uchiha Gin's smiling face and asked a little embarrassedly,
"Hey, yes, it only costs thirty-five points~"

Wuuuu~ I am crying my ass off. I will definitely take care of this wronged clan from the mountain.

"Thank you, you Uchiha clan are really kind people!"

Thirty-five points? That's free!

Wuuuu~ I'm crying my ass off. I'm determined to make friends with the Uchiha clan!

"Of course, there is no family more loving than us~"

Witnessed by everyone, Yama Minako, who was obviously a little bit broken, signed the loan sharking contract without even looking at it, while Uchiha Gin smiled and returned the gold coins that had just burst out of his hand in full.
On the screen next to them, the sweet-looking girl in the red dress smiled brighter and brighter as she invested more gold coins.
"Today is another day full of hope~"
