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

Chapter 244 Madam, why didn’t you tell me earlier?
That day.
Kyuubi finally remembered
The fear of being dominated by a wooden man.
And the shame of being imprisoned in a wooden cage
"Ghana!!!"

The scarlet beast opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth. The gray ball of light conveyed a breath of destruction, and wherever it pointed, there was devastation.

"Wood Release·Wood Dragon Technique!"

The long-haired man with a calm expression clapped his hands, and several ferocious wooden dragons rose from the ground beneath his feet, and rushed towards the already mad beast with tremendous force.

"Oh!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox, which was concentrating on preparing a 2:8 feast, could not avoid it and could only watch the familiar wooden dragon flexibly wrap around itself. In desperation, it could only spray the Tailed Beast Ball, which had not yet been fully charged, at the dragon head that opened its mouth to bite.

The killing move contained powerful destructive power and instantly destroyed the wood dragon's head. The tailed beast ball, which had not yet disappeared, attacked the frowning Hashirama Senju with unstoppable force.

"Don't let my big beetle get hurt, or I won't be able to brag to Mada."

Senju Hashirama glanced at the wooden figure standing behind him. The handsome beetle was still on its back.

Then he refined his chakra again, and a wooden man of the same size rose from the ground. His huge hand, as big as a hill, grabbed the Tailed Beast Ball that was flying towards him.

"boom!"

There was a deafening explosion, and the air was filled with smoke and dust with a slight smell of burning. The towering wooden man did not move at all under the heavy blow, and the tailed beast ball carrying terrifying power was actually destroyed by the wooden man's bare hands.

"I didn't expect the tailed beasts would come to me on their own. Is this a coincidence?"

Jumping to the top of the wooden man, Hashirama Senju looked at the nine-tailed demon fox in front of him, which was emitting a manic aura, and lowered his gaze to think.

According to intelligence, this nine-tailed demon fox should have been roaming in the northeastern part of the Fire Country for a long time. How could it cross the entire Fire Country and come to the Taki Country to cause trouble? It is really unbelievable.

"That guy Chongming."

Seeing his signature move being easily neutralized by Hashirama Senju, the Nine-Tails calmed down a little and began to curse the unconscious Shigeaki in his heart.
That stupid caterpillar, why didn't he mention that the humans here are descendants of Ashura? Just this one Wood Release technique seems to have reached some of Ashura's level.
Therefore, Nine-Tailed Fox had already started to retreat in his heart, and there was a bit of humanistic thinking in his huge animal eyes.

As the saying goes, "If you keep the green mountains, you will never run out of firewood." Those idiots who were caught will be resurrected anyway. Why do you care so much? At most, you can just stop bragging in the chat room, so as not to be criticized by that stinky cat.
He did what he said. The Nine-Tails, who was thinking of backing out, glanced behind him calmly to see if there were any obstacles. Then he pretended to be crazy again, with hot steam coming out of his huge mouth, as if he was ready to fight to the death with Hashirama Senju.

"Are you going to fight to the death?"

Seeing that the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox looked like it was ready to fight to the death, Hashirama Senju quickly retracted his scattered thoughts, stared at the opponent with a sharp gaze, and gently clasped his hands, waiting for the opponent to reveal his cards.

"Roar!!!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox raised its ferocious head and blew a foul breath towards the Senju Hashirama who was waiting in full battle array, making it hard for people to open their eyes. At the same time, a manic breath was brewing in its bloody mouth.

"Wood Release: The Technique of Ranking."

Thinking that the opponent's killing move was about to come and worried that the beetle behind him would be affected, Senju Hashirama held his breath and used the ranking technique. Countless branches instantly grew out of the ground and woven into a huge mask like a ghost, which blocked in front of him in an attempt to block the Nine-Tails' killing move.

"Why is there no movement?"

Under the mask, Hashirama Senju, who had been waiting for half a day, touched his head in some confusion. Looking at the posture of the Nine-Tails just now, the killing move it used must be extremely powerful. Why is there so much thunder but little rain?
As he spoke, he quietly poked his head out from behind the mask, wanting to take a peek.
"Huh? Ran away?"

You won't know until you see it. You'll be shocked when you see it. The nine-tailed beast that was so majestic and looked like it was going to fight to the death just now now has only nine tails swaying wantonly on the distant horizon. Looking at its skilled running posture, it must be a repeat offender.
"Huh~ If you want to know why the old man chose me, I'm the boss. How can I control so many tails without any brains?"

The nine-tailed fox, without any sense of shame, ran happily across the vast plain, with a human-like smug look on its huge beast head. Thinking back to that stupid human, it couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, that guy's brain is as dumb as Asura's. So what if he can fight? You have to use your brains to get involved~"

"I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again."

Suddenly, a strange voice interrupted. Kyuubi, who was running away, hadn't figured out what was going on. He just replied casually,
"I said that human is like Asura. Nani, how can you run so fast!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox, which was running wildly, looked at the wooden man running wildly beside him in surprise. Even though the wooden man was carrying the unconscious Chongming, he was still running briskly.

The two short legs swung quickly, sticking closely to its side. The human it had just laughed at was standing on top of the wooden man, looking at it with an indignant look on his face.

"Stand still!"

Just as the Nine-Tails was surprised, Hashirama Senju clapped his hands, and countless branches grew out of the wooden man, transforming into huge wooden hands, grabbing towards the Nine-Tails.
"It's all a bag technique!"

Caught off guard, Nine-Tailed Fox was directly held by this move. He opened his mouth wide and tried to resist, but found that he could not exert any strength no matter what. He could only watch helplessly as a large hand with the word "Seat" written on it pressed on his head.

"When entering the temple, the hands are lowered."

The next moment, Nine-Tailed Fox felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and his consciousness seemed to fly back to his childhood, when he was innocent and a good fox who loved making friends.

"Hoo~ho~ho~"

"Yeah, the Nine-Tail was captured successfully~"

Looking at the Nine-Tails lying on the ground and blowing snot bubbles, Senju Hashirama's expression relaxed, revealing a row of white teeth, and he smiled brightly.
Including the Nine-Tails, he now has three tailed beasts in his hands, and the balance of victory has already fallen on his head.
The grinning Senju Hashirama manipulated the wooden man to carry the Nine-Tails, and headed towards Konoha with great pride.
Sorry, I won again this time~
Shortly after Senju Hashirama left with the Nine-Tails on his back, a group of embarrassed men and horses arrived at the battlefield. Looking at the unrecognizable terrain, the gloomy man in the lead had horror in his eyes.

"Master Chief, do you want to chase?"

The gloomy man was the leader of the ninjas of Taki Country. At this moment, he was covered in dirt and blood was oozing out of his body. After hearing the words of his confidant behind him, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he shook his head and ordered,

"Retreat, go back and take care of the wounded first."

"Yes."

At this moment, the Takikuni Ninja Base has become a pile of ruins. All that can be seen is the flames that have not yet been extinguished, and the painful cries of the wounded can be heard.

Not long ago, after the leader of the Taki Country Ninja witnessed Senju Hashirama taking Shigeaki away in the forbidden area, he immediately rushed back to the base with his confidants, preparing to gather people and take back the roots of their Taki Country.

However, before they returned to the base, they heard an explosion in the distance, so they sped up to see what was going on.
"Who dares to attack us?"

The leader had a gloomy face. Although their Taki Country was slightly weaker than the other five countries in terms of strength, they were not soft persimmons that could be bullied.

"Master Chief, you are finally back. It is the disaster beast. The disaster beast is coming!"

When they arrived at the station, a terrified ninja came up to them and told them the culprit in a trembling voice, with fear in his eyes.

"Nani!"

Hearing this, the leader was horrified. He had also heard of the name of the disaster beast, but how could such an elusive disaster come to such a remote place like theirs?
"Follow me, I want to see what this disaster beast has."

Although he was trembling in his heart, the leader of the ninjas of Taki no Kuni knew that he could not retreat, so he gritted his teeth and called on his capable subordinates to fight the disaster beast.
"Ghana~"

However, before he could see the appearance of the disaster beast, he was hit in the face by a dark gray tailed beast jade. Fortunately, he had drunk a lot of hero water before. In an instant, violent chakra surged through the meridians in his body.

"Earth Escape: Earth Flow Wall,"

The leader's face darkened, and he clapped his hands on the ground. A stone wall suddenly appeared. The thick earth wall gave him a sense of security.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a bigger beast with a little chakra, nothing to worry about."

"boom!!!"

Just as he waved his hand to mobilize them, the stone wall that seemed to give them a sense of security did not stop the Tailed Beast Ball. It was melted by the high temperature the moment it came into contact with them. Everyone was directly exposed to the residual power of the Tailed Beast Ball, and felt a scorching burning sensation.
"Do not!!!"

"Hiccup~ Chongming is gone?"

The Nine-Tails, who didn't care about the lives of humans, casually threw a few small tailed beast balls at the Taki no Kuni ninja station, sniffed the fading breath of Shigeaki, shook its huge beast head, and chased in the direction where Hashirama Senju left without even looking at the ninjas present.
Afterwards, the man and the beast met on a narrow road, and the battle at the beginning of this article took place.

Konoha.

"Ha~ My eldest cousin hasn't come back yet?"

On a busy street, a handsome but lifeless curly-haired man yawned loudly, and looked around at the bustling crowd with his dead fish eyes, complaining about Uchiha Madara who had been away from home for several days and had no news.

"As expected, older people are more caring~"

Having just escaped from Uchiha Eimi's gentle embrace, Uchiha Gin felt refreshed. This experience, which was completely different from that of a young girl, inevitably made him want to taste the sweetness. The fragrance lingering on the corners of his mouth made him fantasize.

He now hates that there are only seven days in a week. How can he take care of it?
"Hey~ Curly-haired baboon, why are you here?" Just as Uchiha Gin was savoring the lingering fragrance at the corner of his mouth, a crisp voice interrupted his reverie.

Hearing the familiar tone, he subconsciously rolled his eyes, then lazily turned his head and looked at the suspicious Senju Itama and the thoughtful Uchiha Jiji beside her. He curled his lips and replied,
"You own this street? Why can't I come here?"

Although this is true, the bustling commercial street where Uchiha Gin is now happens to be the work of craftsmen from the Land of Waves. In terms of property rights, this street belongs to his private property.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't go out during the day?"

Without rushing to argue with Uchiha Gin, Senju Itama frowned delicately and tilted her head to ask. She always felt that the curly-haired dog in front of her was sneaky and hiding something from her.
"Ha~ I feel like there will be a lot of excitement today. Can't we come out early?"

Being stared at by the girl with suspicious eyes, Uchiha Gin, who felt a little guilty, yawned unnaturally and made up an excuse.

At this moment, Uchiha Jiji stepped forward, and his cold and beautiful eyes looked up and down at the well-dressed Uchiha Gin, and finally his gaze fell on the corner of his mouth, and slowly asked,
"Mr. Yin, have you eaten?"

Relying on the ninja's keen sense of smell, Uchiha Jiji smelled a strange smell on Uchiha Gin, and she always felt that she seemed to have smelled this smell somewhere before.
"I ate, I ate, I'm full~"

Worried that the two girls would notice something, Uchiha Gin immediately started laughing, his eyes narrowed, and he smacked his lips, as if he was savoring the delicious food he had just tasted.
"Mr. Silver!"

Just as Uchiha Gin was being questioned by the two women, a surprised voice suddenly came from behind him. He turned around in confusion and saw a group of debtors. The leading man was looking at him with joy.

"Isn't this Sasuke? Is Takinosuke okay?"

Seeing someone coming out to rescue him, Uchiha Gin, who was afraid of being exposed, immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Thanks to you, the teacher is in very good health and has the energy to guide Hiruzen recently."

When his mentor was mentioned, Sarutobi Sasuke's eyes were filled with gratitude, and he quickly replied,
"Mr. Yin, I'd like to ask about the recipes in your dungeon. Uncle Shinji has lost his appetite recently~"

Akimichi Shinji, who was behind Sarutobi Sasuke, came over with a smile. After his uncle was redeemed and brought home, he actually showed a lack of appetite for the delicacies of the clan. He sighed from time to time about the food in the dungeon. This made him feel distressed, but also a little curious.

You know, the Akimichi clan is well versed in food, and the food in the dungeon must be top-notch delicacies to the extent that Shinji Akimichi, a great gourmet, thinks about it day and night.

"Okay, okay. If the dungeon isn't closed, I'd like you to stay in there for a few days and experience it for yourself."

Uchiha Gin nodded in surprise. He didn't expect that there would be people who liked to eat jail food.

".The interest will be transferred to you at the end of this month."

Compared to the familiarity of the previous few people, Yama Minako seemed a little reserved, even a little afraid. She lowered her head, looking a little at a loss, pinching her nervous fingertips, and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth in embarrassment,
"It's okay, it's okay. If you're short of money, you can apply for an extension for a few more years. The interest rate will remain the same~"

Compared to the other families, the Shanzhong family has suffered a lot. They don't know when they can pay off the money they owe.
According to the loan shark contract, Yamanaka Ino, one of the future 12 strong men, will probably become his debtor and let him do whatever he wants.
"Tsk~"

Suddenly, a very obscure sound of "tsk", which was very harsh in the happy conversation, raised his eyebrows and looked at the owner of the sound.

"Why are you looking at me? We, the Shimura clan, will not reduce a cent of what we owe you. Don't try to control us with such despicable means."

For some reason, Shimura Kenichi always felt that the curly-haired man in front of him was very unpleasant. Even though he owed him hundreds of millions, he could not give him false flattery.

"Oh~Is Brother Jinji okay?"

Uchiha Gin didn't take Shimura Kenichi's childish behavior seriously. This kid was just like his son, stubborn and he had a secret that could make him rich for the rest of his life. This kid from the Shimura family was just at his mercy.

"Hmph~ Sorry to disappoint you, Second Uncle is very nice!"

"Is your mother happy?"

"I'm happy, you curly-haired guy. What do you mean by asking this?"

How come the conversation ended up with your mother? Although your mother was the happiest person after your second uncle was redeemed, what does this have to do with you, Curly?
"Nothing, just asking~"

It seems that the old love between Shinji and Shimura has been rekindled. This Shimura Kenichi may become the next leader of Shimura~
Uchiha Gin had previously inquired about the details of the ninja clan, and found that the situation of the Shimura clan was extremely special. The current leader was Shimura Kenichi's adoptive father.
However, he did not intend to make Kenichi Shimura the next leader. Instead, he valued his youngest son born to his concubine more.

Now Brother Jin Er has returned in full force. During all those years in the dungeon, his strength has not only not weakened, but has made a significant breakthrough. After returning, he quickly hooked up with his old lover. So, it is only a foregone conclusion that he will push his son to the position of boss.

"It's good to have a good father~"

Alas~ No matter what era it is, it is an era of competing with one’s father.

Uchiha Gin can't help but envy Shimura Kenichi who is about to get something for nothing. Why doesn't he have such a good life? He can only create a good life with his own hands~
"Mr. Yin, you don't seem too worried?"

Seeing that Uchiha looked normal, Sarutobi Sasuke couldn't help but ask,
"Huh? What are you worried about?"

Uchiha Gin was a little confused when suddenly asked this by Sarutobi Sasuke. Could it be that his little secret was exposed? This shouldn't be the case, as he always covered it up well!
"The Hokage, the head of the Uchiha clan, is your brother, right?"

So that's what happened. Uchiha Gin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then he changed into a thoughtful attitude and slowly returned to

"The position of Hokage belongs to the capable one. We, the Uchiha clan, also have dreams~"

"So from what you mean, those of us who gave up our rights are just salted fish without dreams?"

Kenichi Shimura, who was standing by, immediately jumped out to pick a fight. In his opinion, Uchiha Gin was secretly mocking them.
"No, no, no, I personally believe that fortune will change. Your families will definitely have a chance to become the Hokage in the future~"

Uchiha Gin just smiled at Shimura Kenichi's groundless accusation. He spread his hands with a sincere expression and encouraged the members of the Ninja Alliance in front of him,

"With your good words, I will definitely do it."

Sarutobi Sasuke felt warm at heart when he heard this. Uchiha Gin was such a generous and kind person. If he was not constrained by his strength, he would definitely be able to take on the position of Hokage and lead everyone to prosperity.

If Uchiha Gin could hear Sarutobi Sasuke's inner thoughts, he would probably take out his black and hard wooden sword and cut this guy's head open to see if there was something wrong with it.

How could anyone curse someone to become Hokage?

"However, I heard that Senju Hashirama has captured two tailed beasts. I'm afraid the Uchiha clan leader's chances of winning are very high."

After looking around to make sure there were no suspicious people, Sarutobi Sasuke came over and quietly told Uchiha Gin the inside information he had obtained.

"What? They've already caught two. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, my cousin is in danger~"

Uchiha Gin frowned when he heard this, and said with a little worry in his tone,
But in his heart, he rolled his eyes. Uchiha Gin could sense the noise of the two tailed beasts from more than a dozen streets away. He could guess which two tailed beasts Hashirama had captured without even looking.
It was full of steam and looked like a pressure cooker. You didn't have to guess which one it was, the Five-tailed King Mu.

The other one who exudes a sour smell must be the slug of the six-tailed rhinoceros dog.

However, Wood Release is really the nemesis of the tailed beasts. It was able to take down the Five-Tail and Six-Tail so quickly.

My cousin, you have to work harder.
Even if we don't fight for the position of Hokage, we have to fight for our reputation. This competition is one of the few chances for you to defeat Hashirama Senju.

"Mr. Gin, although the Uchiha clan leader may not be able to become Hokage this time, if the Uchiha clan still has ideas for the next term, we, the Sarutobi clan, will definitely help them."

Seeing the worry in Uchiha Gin's eyes, Sarutobi Sasuke couldn't help but comfort him. In his opinion, the position of Konoha's first Hokage was most likely to be taken by Senju Hashirama.

But there are still two, three, four, five, five, six, seven, and eight generations!
The foundation of their ninja alliance is unstable, and they can forget about the position of the second generation for the time being. It would be better for them to do a favor and help the Uchiha clan to take power, which can be considered as making good connections in advance.

"what?"

Uchiha Gin never expected this to happen. He had clearly offended all the Ninja Alliances.
It will be good enough if you don't rebel against us when the time comes, but you still want to support Uchiha to be Hokage?
"We in the mountains are willing too."

Unexpectedly, the second person to follow was the silent Yama Minako. She forced herself to be alert, looked directly into Uchiha Gin's eyes with her beautiful blue eyes, and said in a somewhat unnatural tone,
"Huh?"*2
Senju Itama and Uchiha Jiji, who were watching the show on the side, suddenly became alert. Their originally curious eyes suddenly became deep, staring straight at Yama Minako who spoke in an unnatural tone. Two completely opposite auras emanated from their bodies, and the threat was self-evident.

"I don't mean anything else! I just want to ask, if Uchiha becomes Hokage, can the interest of our Yamanaka clan be reduced by a few points?"

Suddenly, two gazes, one hot and one cold, were fixed on Uchiha Gin. Just as she was about to continue speaking, Yama Minako was sweating profusely, and her heartbeat was about to explode. She had never encountered such pressure before, so she hurriedly explained why she did this.
"Whoo~"

The next moment, feeling the gaze disappear, Yama Minako finally breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the two beautiful women standing next to Uchiha Gin with lingering fear, and swallowed with some difficulty.
Minako Yama was worried that these two women with a terrifying aura would keep an eye on her, so she had to use her trump card to try to dispel their concerns.
"I'm a married woman, and my child is almost born~"

"Hey~Mrs. Yamanaka, why didn't you tell me earlier? You didn't want to..."
