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

Chapter 232 The Hyuga Clan's Weird Request
In the dark backstage, Yamanaka Soichiro, who had been on tenterhooks, suddenly saw a dazzling white light in front of his eyes. As the door opened, Uchiha Gin came in with a basket of clothes. After greeting him warmly, he placed the clothes in front of him.
"Brother Soichiro, the clothes are delivered to you, try them on to see if they fit you~"

"Thank you!"

Although he was puzzled as to why the other party brought such a large basket of clothes, since they had been hanging out to dry for quite some time, Yamanaka Soichiro did not bother to ask any more questions. He immediately picked up a piece of clothing and prepared to put it on. However, before he put it on, he noticed the strange pattern of the clothes in his hand and froze in place.

"Did you take the wrong one? Is this a female prisoner's clothing?"

Yamanaka Soichiro looked at the bright pink underwear in his hand with a red face. He felt a mouthful of blood rushing up his throat and almost spurting out. He tightened the underwear in his hand tremblingly, with a strange look in his eyes, but asked righteously,
"There's nothing we can do. The younger generations of your family have such bad luck that the pool keeps getting crooked. Just make do with it, brother. Just find a set~"

Uchiha Gin, who was standing next to the basket, spread his hands helplessly and gave Yamanaka Soichiro a helpless look.

"What do you mean by bad luck? It's really meaningless~"

Yamanaka Soichiro, whose mind had long been on a basket of colorful clothes, did not investigate further. Instead, he rummaged through the basket with a little excitement. His old eyes revealed a brilliance that did not belong to his age.
"Ahem, this is it. It can barely cover my body."

After carefully selecting for a while, Soichiro Yamanaka walked to the corner with a normal set of clothes in his hand, looking calm and started changing.

"Brother Soichiro, you haven't taken your underwear yet!"

Seeing that the other party only took one set of clothes and did not choose any underwear, Uchiha Gin thought that the other party had Alzheimer's disease and immediately spoke to remind him.

"You're just being long-winded. We, the older generation of ninjas, advocate frugality. Underwear and the like are optional!"

Yamanaka Soichiro, who had put on his clothes at a very fast speed, walked out of the corner with a serious face and looked at Uchiha Gin with great sorrow, which made him feel puzzled.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and get out. I guess the people from your mountain tribe can't wait any longer~"

Uchiha Gin, who has always had sharp eyes, caught a glimpse of an eye-catching bright powder on the lower back of Yamanaka Soichiro. He was shocked and couldn't help but respect the older generation of ninjas.

"Wait, where's Ichino?"

Yamanaka Soichiro, who had just taken a step forward, suddenly remembered another member of his tribe and hurriedly asked,

"You are talking about Brother Yi Ye, his clothes are still being drawn, I guess we'll have to wait a while, you should go out first!"

Yamanaka Soichiro was still confused, and he felt that Uchiha Gin would not hurt him, so he didn't ask any more questions and followed him out of the backstage.

“It’s quite lively!”

Before he even stepped out of the door, Yamanaka Soichiro heard the roar of the tide outside and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, these are all spectators who are here to cheer for you, the Yamanaka clan. Let's go, Brother Soichiro!"

Uchiha Gin smiled and waved his hand, signaling the other party to follow.
“Hehe, even though I have been in prison for many years, the ninja world still has the legend of me, Yamanaka Soichiro!”

The noisy voices in his ears gave Yamanaka Soichiro great confidence. He immediately pulled up his slightly loose trousers and walked out with a swagger.

"Ah! Why are you wearing this? Where is the hot bikini?"

"You pissed me off, give me back my 36D leopard print!"

"Eat Mickey Mouse?"

With the appearance of Yamanaka Soichiro, the atmosphere in the audience was out of control. The curious audience stretched their necks to see what the avant-garde fashions looked like when worn on their bodies. In the end, they only saw a skinny old man wearing ordinary clothes. They could not help but protest loudly,
"Come out!"

Unexpectedly, when he appeared, the audience did not give him flowers or applause. Yamanaka Soichiro, who had been prepared for the interview, felt a little disappointed. He could only shake his head awkwardly, stuffing his gratitude back into his stomach, and turned to search for his people. However, a sudden roar in his ear attracted his attention.

"Is that Minako?"

Yamanaka Soichiro looked at the beautiful woman who looked like a madman not far away with some hesitation. From her beautiful appearance, he could vaguely see the shadow of an old friend, so he asked carefully,
"The peach blossoms that I, Yama Minako, will sacrifice for the rest of her life, please give them to me!!!"

Before Uchiha Gin could speak, Yama Minako was already like a trapped beast, with red eyes and clenched teeth and swore, just like someone who couldn't draw a card.

“Hahaha, it’s flashing!!!”

Just when Uchiha Gin was about to declare that Xuan cannot change fate, he did not expect that a golden light would actually flash on the card drawing screen. He did not expect that he would actually get a response.

“Congratulations on winning the mediocre men’s top*1.”

".Ten more rounds!"

Obviously very dissatisfied with the result, Yama Minako waved her hand and indicated to continue.

"Stop it, Minako, you already owe more than 1 billion!"

Compared to the Yamaguchi Minako who was smoking red eyes, Sarutobi Sasuke, as a bystander, was much more sober. Looking at his friend who was already drunk, he gave earnest advice,
"No! I haven't even won the Ultimate Edition yet, how can I stop?"

Minako Yama has fallen into a trance. At this moment, she is so determined that even ten oxen cannot pull her back. Her beautiful eyes are fixed on the smiling girl on the screen, and she wishes she could slap her face to pieces.

"Minako, what are you doing!?"

Yamanaka Soichiro was still wondering how this junior whom he had met when he was a child could become so crazy, but when he heard that the other party owed a huge sum of 1 billion, he was immediately shocked and hurriedly said,
"Don't stop me! I want to pretend to be Soichiro's grandfather?"

Suddenly, she heard a strange and old voice. Without even raising her head, Minako Yamamoto waved her hands impatiently, ready to continue smoking. However, after a casual glance at the person who spoke, her mind suddenly became clear. She looked at the old but wealthy Soichiro Yamanaka and was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"Minako"

Reunited with his tribe members, Yamanaka Soichiro's eyes were filled with tears, and he was about to vent his worries when he saw Yamanaka Minako across from him, stretching out her hand to him and saying,
"Grandpa Soichiro, give me money!"

"puff!!!"

In the end, Uchiha Gin, who couldn't bear it any longer and was worried that his brother Soichiro, who had just been released from prison, would die the next moment, so he spoke out to stop Yama Minako from spending all her money, and returned the prize she had drawn and the confused Yamanaka Ichino to her.

"Since you are the first customer, it's buy one get one free. Keep the items you won and check if you are missing anything."

Seeing Yamanaka Soichiro breathing more than he exhaled, Uchiha Gin finally softened his heart. After all, there was no Uchiha more caring than him. He immediately waved his hand and asked his subordinates to bring up the prize that Yamanaka Minako had drawn, and handed over the prize list.

"No, I have a good memory. I remember clearly what I got every time."

Yama Minako had regained consciousness, and her beautiful blue eyes were filled with deep astonishment. Until now, she still hadn't figured out why she, who was always known for her calmness, would be so addicted to a mere card-drawing game.
"I'm looking at bikinis, leopard prints, swimsuits, health clothes, Balenciaga, and bear underwear."

Squatting on the ground, Yama Minako was counting her spoils like they were her treasures. After all, she had spent such a huge sum of money. These strange clothes in front of her did look like they were worth something. If she sold them to the nobles of the Fire Nation, she should be able to make a lot of money back.

".Wait! There's a pair of Hello Kitty pink panties missing!"

After carefully counting several times, Yama Minako stood up with a look of surprise, looked at Uchiha Gin, the host, and asked loudly,
"Uh, impossible, absolutely impossible, why don't you look for it again~"

Unexpectedly, something was missing, which made Uchiha Gin a little confused. He shipped the goods according to the order, and there was absolutely no mistake. Even if it was just a sock, he would not be missing.

"Ahem, Minako, it's just a pair of bright pink panties. Maybe it got caught in some clothes. I feel a little dizzy now. Please take me back to rest!"

Just as Uchiha Gin and Yama Minako were confronting each other, Yamanaka Soichiro, who was supported by someone, suddenly spoke tremblingly and urged,

"Well, I'll go back and look for it carefully. Quickly send Elder Soichiro back to rest!"

Seeing that Soichiro Yamanaka looked like he would not live long, Minako Yama stopped worrying about her missing underwear and immediately called her tribesmen to rush towards where they were stationed.

Tsk tsk tsk, brother Soichiro, I didn't expect you to have such a little habit~
Looking at the receding backs of the Yamanaka clan, Uchiha Gin's eyes moved. The hunched-over Yamanaka Soichiro and the bright powder on his lower back made him sigh in his heart that one cannot judge a person by his appearance.

"So who wants to redeem someone next?"

After seeing off the first customer, Uchiha Gin, who had made a small profit of 1 billion, turned his gaze to the nervous members of the Ninja Alliance with a smile, grinned, and whispered like a devil,

"Let's discuss it. Can we pay the original price?"

Having witnessed the fate of the Yamanaka clan, Sarutobi Sasuke was panicking, but as the leader of the Ninja Alliance, he still gritted his teeth and stood up to discuss with Uchiha Gin in front of him.
"Haha, that won't work. We agreed on 200 million yuan, so there's no reason to raise the price."

I didn't expect the other party to give in. This wouldn't do. If I didn't make a lot of money from him, how could I justify the card-drawing machine that I worked on overnight? I immediately waved my hand and righteously rejected the other party's unreasonable request.

"Then can we choose not to draw the lottery and directly pay 200 million yuan to redeem the person?"

Shimura Kenichi, who was beside Sarutobi Sasuke, frowned after hearing Uchiha Gin's refusal. After thinking for a while, he asked,

"Of course, we don't force consumption."

Facing the questions from the Ninja Alliance, Uchiha Gin immediately shook his head and said that this is a humane free game and there is absolutely no option of forced consumption.

"Okay, I'll pay the money right now, and let Uncle Jin Er out!"

The Uchiha clan was clearly a money-sucking project. Shimura Kenichi, who thought he was the reincarnation of the Crouching Dragon, immediately offered 200 million yuan to welcome Shimura Shinji home. The other members of the Ninja Alliance were also excited, and they couldn't help but complain about that big villain, Yama Minako.

"But before that, I have some good stuff, please take a look~"

Uchiha Gin didn't even bother to look at the 200 million yuan that Shimura Kenichi threw at him. He reached out from the bag behind him and pulled out a stack of envelopes with the clan emblems of the Ninja Alliance members on them. He handed these sealed envelopes one by one to the puzzled Ninja Alliance members, and the smile on his handsome face could not be concealed no matter what.
"Hmph~ You are just being mysterious. I want to see what the hell you are up to, you damn curly-haired guy!"

Unexpectedly, the wallet he threw out would be ignored by the other party. Feeling a little indignant, Shimura Kenichi immediately tore open the envelope in his hand and cursed in a low voice,
"what!"

"Nani!"

"This..." With the same doubtful mood, other ninja clan members also opened the envelopes in their hands. After seeing the photos in the envelopes, everyone had the same shocked expression on their faces.
"Mr. Miracle Doctor, isn't this a bit..."

Quickly stuffing the photo in his hand into his arms, Sarutobi Sasuke looked at Uchiha Gin with a complicated expression, frowned and said,
"Do you think that our Uchiha clan is inhumane?"

Instead of answering the other party's question, Uchiha Gin asked everyone.

"Of course! You've already taken Uncle Jin'er away. Shinji, why are you covering my mouth?"

Kenichi Shimura, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, was the first to speak out, but halfway through his words, a large hand like a palm-leaf fan covered his mouth tightly, almost suffocating him.

"Mr. Yin, thank you!"

Compared to the somewhat rude Shimura Kenichi, Akimichi Shinji, the head of the Akimichi clan, unexpectedly spoke up to express his gratitude. Looking at his sincere expression, it did not seem fake.

"Huh~ Shinji, why are you thanking this damn curly-haired guy?"

"Xianyi, take a closer look at the photos and see the conditions of the elders."

After finally breaking free from his friend's hand, Shimura Kenichi asked angrily, but he didn't expect that he would be met with a strange question from Akimichi Shinji.

"It's nothing, it's normal."

Since his friend had said so, Shimura Kenichi suppressed his embarrassment and carefully looked through the photos in his hand, but he could not see any clues for a long time.
"Normal is the most abnormal thing. Have you ever seen a prisoner who can remain so healthy after being tortured for decades?"

Shinji Akimichi looked at the photo and saw the man with a warm smile. He was from the Akimichi clan and could laugh so happily in prison. His body was so firm, he must have been treated very well.

"Eh! He seems to have become a lot fatter."

After hearing Akimichi Shinji's reminder, everyone present picked up the photo album and started reading it. After confirming that their elders were not suffering in prison, it seemed that they were living in retirement.
Their bellies were bulging from eating so much, and their skin was so smooth and tender that it was almost as good as those of the noble lords of the Fire Nation.

"I'm sorry, we misunderstood you~"

Sarutobi Sasuke, who had already guessed what had happened, spoke to Uchiha Gin very embarrassedly. The apology in his eyes was visible to the naked eye. The members of the Ninja Alliance who had been quite dissatisfied around him now had expressions of gratitude on their faces.

"So do you still smoke?"

The effect of the photos was unexpectedly good. He had intended to use the nude photos to threaten them, but he didn't expect that there seemed to be some beautiful misunderstanding. However, it didn't affect his ability to earn severance pay for his brothers in prison.

"Draw! I'll go first. Uncle Shinji is big, so he has to draw more!"

Akimichi Shinji at the side took the lead and took out his wallet, respectfully handing it to Uchiha Gin.

"Okay~ I like guys like you who are willing to do it!"

Weighing the heavy purse in his hand, Uchiha Gin smiled brightly.
"Today is another day full of hope~"

"Tobirama, is it so easy to make money?"

Looking at the members of the Ninja Alliance who were spending money like water on the stage, Senju Hashirama's outlook on life was shattered. His eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. After being stunned for a long time, he finally remembered how to speak. Then he elbowed his brother who was in deep thought beside him and asked,

"Huh~ This curly-haired guy is so rich, but he still resorts to such means. Doesn't he walk at night?"

Senju Tobirama was also extremely shocked. He exhaled deeply, and his scarlet eyes were filled with deep fear. Is this Uchiha Gin crazy? He offended all the ninja clans just after building the village.

"What are you talking about? Do you want to go up and play a few rounds?"

Uchiha Gin, who was happily counting money, strolled over to the Senju brothers. He originally wanted to ask about accompanying them for today's negotiation, but seeing their "hopeful" eyes, he immediately opened his mouth to invite them.

"No, no, no, our Senju clan cannot stand this kind of torture."

Even a thick-skinned Senju Hashirama could see the bottomless trap behind the sweet-smiling girl on the screen, and immediately waved his hands to indicate that he was just taking a look.

"Tsk! That's such a pity."

Uchiha Gin, who failed to earn a little extra money, had a flash of disappointment on his face, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and asked Tobirama Senju, who had a strange look on his face,
"I heard from Izunai that there is a negotiation going on and asked me to attend. When is it?"

"The Uchiha clan actually let you go?"

Senju Tobirama looked at Uchiha Gin with sympathy, who had no sense of crisis. He was thinking about whether to remind this curly-haired man not to walk in the alleys at night, but when he heard his question, his expression became even weirder.
"I'll just be eating sunflower seeds next to you, just have a good chat."

Hearing the surprise in Senju Tobirama's tone, Uchiha Gin scratched his curly hair, thinking that he shouldn't be so disgusted, after all, he was considered a respected elder in the Uchiha clan.
"Do you know who we are negotiating with today?"

"It doesn't matter who you are with. I'll just watch and not say anything."

I guess this is another ninja clan from somewhere who wants to join Konoha. It has nothing to do with me unless they can drop gold coins.

"It's the Hyuga clan. They came this time and specifically asked to compete with the Uchiha clan."

Looking at Uchiha Gin who looked nonchalant, Senju Tobirama finally softened his heart and reminded him,
If it wasn't for the board room, I wouldn't care whether you lived or died!

"Huh? Are those white-eyed people bored?"

This really made Uchiha Yin Bengbu feel overwhelmed. It turned out that it was quite troublesome for him to take on this matter!

"They want to verify who is the number one eye technique family in the Fire Nation."

"Okay, I'm going to knock on the door of the shrine today and pull my cousin out, so that those white-eyed people can see what dimensionality reduction strikes are."

First of all, Uchiha Gin was too disdainful to fight for such empty reputation, which could not be used to make a living. So he took a step forward and prepared to invite Uchiha Madara out to let the frog in the well of the Hyuga clan see what Gundam was.

"No, no, no, we're just sparring, no need to call for help!"

When he heard that Uchiha Gin wanted to ask Madara to come out of seclusion, Senju Hashirama immediately broke out in a cold sweat, grabbed the other's sleeve, and explained repeatedly, with a look of worry in his eyes.
If Madara were allowed to escape, the Hyuga clan would probably disappear from the Land of Fire.

"No, brother Hashirama, you would agree to such a boring thing. Don't you know the level of our Uchiha clan?"

Uchiha Gin, who was forcibly retained, frowned with a look of deep confusion on his face. He really couldn't understand why Senju Hashirama would agree to such an outrageous request.

"Oh, there are complicated reasons behind this, I can't explain it clearly at the moment~"

Facing Uchiha Gin's questioning, Senju Hashirama's eyes became a little erratic, and he dodged and dared not look directly into his eyes.

"There's nothing to hide. The Hyuga clan promised that after joining, they would donate a large sum of money to build Konoha Village. The prerequisite for joining is to clash with the Uchiha clan, who is also a family of dojutsu."

Since the eldest brother doesn't want to be the bad guy, he, Senju Tobirama, will do it. He then explained the reason to Uchiha Gin.

"Brother Hashirama, I never thought that you would sell out the Uchiha clan, who are like their beloved relatives and friends, to the Hyuga clan just for a small sum of money. It is really chilling. We must..."

Uchiha Gin had a look of deep sorrow on his face. He pointed at Senju Hashirama, who lowered his head and kept silent, with a trembling hand. His tone was filled with deep sadness.
"I'm sorry, Brother Yin, I'll go and reject their request right away."

"We must share half!"

"what?"

The Senju brothers were confused, staring at the teasing Uchiha Gin, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
"You don't understand? The funds promised by the Hyuga clan must be divided 50% with our Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Gin held up five fingers, indicating that this was already the lowest price. If it was any lower, there would be no room for negotiation.

"Don't you have any sense of honor?"

Senju Tobirama was so stagnant that he wanted to stab the damn curly-haired guy in front of him.

"I'm fighting for the honor of my family. There's no Uchiha with a greater sense of honor than me. If you say one more word, I'll charge you more!"

Uchiha Gin was unhappy that his sense of honor was questioned by the white-haired man in front of him. He patted his chest and spoke with certainty.

"You are a money-minded curly-haired man, where is your sense of honor?"

Senju Tobirama was so angry that he almost fainted. If Senju Hashirama hadn't stopped him, he would have let the curly-haired boy know why the flowers are red.

"What do you mean by money? I'm just helping others!"

Faced with groundless slander, Uchiha Gin immediately filed an appeal.

"Hmph~ What do you say about those ninjas you tricked?"

With a cold snort, Senju Tobirama, looking uneasy, pointed at the ninja member who had finished the lottery not far away and asked,
"Hey, believe it or not, they even thanked me after they finished smoking."

Turning his head to look at the freed Haomi wearing gorgeous clothes, Uchiha Gin nodded with satisfaction, then raised his eyebrows and said to Senju Tobirama who was obviously a little unconvinced,

"Haha, they wish you dead!"

With his arms folded across his chest, Tobirama Senju's eyes were filled with disbelief. After glancing at Sarutobi Sasuke who was slowly approaching, the corners of his mouth immediately curled up, and he couldn't help but sneer,
"Mr. Gin, on behalf of the members of the Ninja Alliance, I would like to thank you for your kindness!"
