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

Chapter 254 You can doubt my strength, but you can’t question my money ability
What is happening now may be the greatest crisis that Senju Tobirama has ever encountered in his life.
Even during the chaotic Warring States period, he had never felt so close to death.

Looking at the hand that was about to fall, Senju Tobirama gritted his teeth, ready to fight to the death.
The unknown crazy woman in front of him radiated a deep eye power that was not inferior to that of Uchiha Madara, not to mention that idiot brother of Uchiha Izuna.

I didn't expect that the Uchiha clan actually hid such a terrifying secret weapon. Then why didn't they bring her out during the final battle?

Even at this critical moment, Senju Tobirama did not forget to guess the Uchiha clan's thoughts, and his hands were not idle at the same time.

A kunai decorated with ghostly symbols appeared in his hand. The sharp blade shone with a cold light, illuminating Senju Tobirama's pale cheek.

"Whoosh~"

I saw Senju Tobirama throw the kunai at an incredibly fast speed, aiming directly at the black-haired girl's face. At the same time, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, with a hint of expectation.

Hide quickly!

As long as the girl tilted her head to avoid the Flying Thunder God Kunai, he could teleport directly behind her and hit her halfway.

"Humph!"

But what happened next surprised Senju Tobirama. The black-haired girl faced the kunai with a cold glow, but her expression remained calm.
He just raised his eyelids slightly, and everyone present felt a burning sensation from the depths of their souls.

"Nani!"

A flash of black flame suddenly rose from the kunai flying in the air. Although it was only a tiny flame, it made Senju Tobirama's eyelids twitch.

Amaterasu.

This Senju Tobirama is very familiar with this move. Uchiha Izuna's Mangekyō Eye Technique is Amaterasu, which is a powerful but not very flexible eye technique.
But he had never met someone who could control Amaterasu so skillfully. Compared to that guy Izuna, he was much better.

In the blink of an eye, the girl used Amaterasu to vaporize the powerful kunai into curling white smoke.

Seeing this scene, Senju Tobirama's heart sank. The opponent's eye technique was very restraining for a nimble ninja like himself. If he was just touched by Amaterasu, his life would be over.

Thinking of this, he bent his body slightly and assumed a fighting stance, his brain working rapidly, trying to find a way to break the deadlock.

"Ha~ I have no other options. Then I will die."

"

The murderous girl, with red light in her eyes, coldly looked at Tobirama Senju who was ready to fight to the last, announcing the other party's fate.

Ball bean sack!

At this critical moment, Uchiha Gin, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, took action.
"Boom!!!"

He flashed and appeared in front of the black-haired girl. He raised his sandbag-sized fist and hit Uchiha An on the head.

Uchiha Gin hit the target accurately, blew on his smoking fingers, with deep helplessness in his eyes.
He knew very well that if he didn't take action, this white-haired man might be handed over to his family, and then he would be in countless troubles.

"Oh, what are you doing~"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then raised her hands to cover her white, tender, red and swollen forehead. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked like she was about to cry. She pouted her lips in grievance and said slanderously,

Seeing the girl's attitude change drastically, Senju Tobirama's heart was like a thousand horses roaring through. His eyes wandered strangely between Uchiha Gin and the girl for a long time, then he frowned and asked,
"Who is she?"

"Hey~ She is my childhood sweetheart, her name is Uchiha Hikaru. She has been staying up late lately, which makes her very irritable when she wakes up. Don't take it to heart."

Raising an eyebrow, Uchiha Gin reached out and patted the girl's head to comfort her, then turned his head and looked at Senju Tobirama who was frowning, and introduced him aloud,
really!

"Then why did she deny her name before?"

He had just spoken to confirm the other party's identity, but the girl denied it.

Looking at Uchiha Hikaru who was completely different from before, Senju Tobirama questioned,

"Could it be possible that he is suffering from schizophrenia?"

"How can it be!"

Uchiha Gin's eyes flickered left and right, and his tone was somewhat unpredictable.
"I must have been sleepy!"

"Well, since she is Uchiha Hikaru, I will tell you the content of the mission."

Senju Tobirama, who always felt something was wrong, looked at it for a long time but couldn't see any clues. Then he nodded and spoke. As he spoke, a gleam of light floated in his eyes, and a hint of deep thought flashed across his eyes.

Uchiha Hikaru's strength is indeed as terrifying as Uchiha Madara said, but his mental state is like a time bomb, which is worrying.

However, Uchiha Gin seems to be able to appease Uchiha Hikaru, which can be regarded as an insurance for this guy.

"Let's go, this is not the place to talk."

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Uchiha Gin simply gave up thinking, pulled the girl beside him, and walked downstairs.

Sitting in the living room, Uchiha Gin took the tea handed over by Senju Itama. After taking a sip, his frown slowly relaxed, and he glanced at the complacent girl with some surprise.

This guy's tea art is getting better and better, and his level is almost catching up with Mito~
"Wow, good tea!"

After the storm, Senju Tobirama, whose mouth was dry, took the tea brewed by Senju Itama without any invitation and drank a big gulp. Then his eyes lit up.
It tastes so refreshing and sweet at first, and leaves a long aftertaste after drinking. Compared with this, the teas collected by my brother are just weeds.

"Where did you buy this tea?"

Unable to resist the temptation, Tobirama Senju drank the tea in one gulp, savoring it while asking, he also wanted to go back and order a batch of the same kind,
"Wait a minute, let me think about it."

Unexpectedly, Senju Tobirama was also well versed in the tea ceremony. Uchiha Gin then stroked his chin and began to think.

"Well, the sip you just drank was probably about one million taels~"

After thinking hard for a while, he finally remembered the origin of the tea. Then he looked at Tobirama Senju with a strange look and explained,

The tea in their hands was made from tribute-grade tea from the Tea Kingdom. Its production was frighteningly rare and its value was priceless.
Even the daimyo of the tea country would only take it out to brew when entertaining distinguished guests.

"puff!"

With his eyes narrowed, Senju Tobirama savored the tea in his hand with great enjoyment. However, after hearing what Uchiha Gin said, his hand holding the teacup trembled, and the tea in his mouth spurted out.

Uchiha Gin, who was standing opposite him, immediately showed a distressed expression, thinking to himself,
It’s so expensive, and you’re still wasting it. How shameful!

"Ahem, is this true or false?"

After coughing a few times and trying to calm down his surprise, Senju Tobirama carefully placed the teacup on the table and then spoke to confirm.

He has never really had a sip of the one million dollar tea.

"Do I need to lie to you? You can doubt my ability, but you can't question my money ability~"

Rolling his eyes in annoyance, Uchiha Gin spread out his hands and showed his wealth to Senju Tobirama.
"." Following Uchiha Gin's pointing, Senju Tobirama looked around again. After seeing a vase on the table, he immediately shed tears of poverty.

He had seen the same vase in the home of the Fire Country Daimyo. The one in the Daimyo's mansion was guarded by a bunch of guards.

According to the daimyo, the vase was originally a pair, but unfortunately the other one was sold at a high price by a mysterious person on the black market.

The exact amount is not convenient to disclose, but judging from how much Daimyo cherishes it, it is definitely not a small amount.

However, even such a precious vase was only used as a vase in the Uchiha Gin family, and the chrysanthemums inside it had some meaning.

"Do you like chrysanthemums, too?"

Looking at the tearful Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Gin asked curiously,

"The vase?"

"Oh~ It's a vase. I thought the pattern was interesting, so I bought it for fun."

Scratching his head in confusion, Uchiha Gin himself didn't remember how much the vase was worth. He only remembered that it was just a decoration he bought when he went to the black market.

I saw clumps of bamboo dotted on the white vase. In the green bamboo forest, stood a white-haired woman with a gorgeous face. Her indifferent eyes did not look like that of an ordinary person, but more like a goddess from the kingdom of heaven.

"You are quite capable~"

After confirming again and again that it was not a fake, Senju Tobirama, who looked a little awkward, gave Uchiha Gin a rare positive evaluation.

"Average, third in the ninja world~"

Uchiha Gin readily accepted the compliment from Senju Tobirama. There was nothing he could do about it since he was such an outstanding man.

"Uh, that jar?"

Senju Tobirama, who already knew about Uchiha Gin's money ability, turned his gaze to a huge clay jar placed in the center of the hall.

As an expert in the development of ninjutsu, he could clearly sense that the plain-looking jar was definitely not an ordinary item.

"That, it's a souvenir from my two fellow inmates."

Glancing at the amber bottle in the hall, Uchiha Gin replied with a sigh,

I don’t know how the two brothers, Jinjiao and Yinjiao, are doing, and whether they have suffered any injustice in the Kingdom of Thunder.

At the same time, in the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning.

"A-choo!!!"*2
In the dim room, two loud sneezes sounded at the same time, which frightened several people in the room.
Several dark-faced Hei Laoda looked at the two people who had just sneezed with some fear. They didn't dare to say much, for fear of angering these two killing gods.

"Huh~Brother, can we catch a cold too?"

The tall, silver-haired young man wiped his nose, turned his head with curiosity, and asked about a mountain nearby.

"Only fools don't catch colds."

I didn't expect that the hill could actually speak. I saw a muscular man as tall as a mountain lowering his head, looking at his brother helplessly, and then said,

"The Hidden Cloud Village? That guy Ai came up with a really ugly name!"

The silver-haired young man did not continue to dwell on this topic. Instead, he looked at the two forehead protectors in front of him with an unhappy look. The cloud patterns on them made him very unhappy.

"It doesn't matter. When we become Raikages, we can change whatever we want!"

The blond young man smiled grimly, not caring at all about the other people around him, and directly announced his ambitions to everyone.

"Boom~"

As the blond young man finished his words, a huge bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. The dazzling light filled the entire room and also illuminated the six long and narrow whisker-like lines on the cheeks of the two young men.

The scene returns to Konoha.

"You've been dawdling for so long, you're not just here to drink tea, are you?"

Seeing Senju Tobirama refilling tea one cup after another, Uchiha Gin, who always felt that the other party was taking advantage of him, had veins on his forehead bulging. So he interrupted Senju Itama's action of pouring tea in a calm voice, signaling her not to let this white-haired guy get tea for free.

"Tsk~ you are so petty."

With an imperceptible curl of his lips, Senju Tobirama looked at his sister's back and said unhappily,

I gave you my sister, and I want to drink some tea from you. Is there a problem with that?

On the other hand, Uchiha An was turning the teacup in his hand thoughtfully. Judging from the performance of Senju Tobirama just now, the other party should be targeting Uchiha Hikari this time, but he didn't know why.

"Hmph! Tell me now, and get up quickly after you're done!"

Uchiha Gin was not worried about the tea leaves, but because the longer Senju Tobirama stayed here, the higher the chance of Senju Itama being exposed.

If the other party discovers Senju Itama's true identity and chooses to forcibly take her home, then his task system will be activated again.
Maybe the next mission is to have him fight Kaguya Otsutsuki, and if he fails to complete it, he will be killed~
"Huh~ Uchiha Madara asked me to come."

After drinking the last bit of tea in his hand, Senju Tobirama smacked his lips, and then he turned his face straight and said slowly to Uchiha Gin who looked suspicious,
That's right, before they asked Uchiha Madara how many pairs of Mangekyō the Uchiha clan had, the other party gave the answer of two pairs.

However, as they delved deeper into the issue, they discovered that the two pairs of Mangekyō of the Uchiha clan were inextricably linked to Uchiha Gin.

One of the Mangekyo owners, Uchiha Ji, was a disciple of Uchiha Gin, and his interpersonal relationships within the clan were also very simple.
Apart from her own mother, she only has a close relationship with Uchiha Gin.

As for the other one, information is very scarce. According to Uchiha Madara's own description,

The second owner of the Mangekyo, Uchiha Hikaru, has a mysterious identity and unknown abilities.
Uchiha Madara's father, Uchiha Tajima, never gave him detailed information about Uchiha Hikaru.
He only revealed it after drinking one time that Uchiha Hikaru only listened to one person, and that person was Uchiha Gin.

To sum up, Uchiha Madara sold out his eldest cousin completely. He originally wanted to prevent him from interfering in the affairs of the tailed beasts, but now it seems that Uchiha Gin can't run away even if he wants to.

However, what made Uchiha Madara feel at ease was that the owners of the two pairs of Mangekyō would definitely not let Uchiha Gin suffer any harm.
If a tailed beast accidentally sneezed and startled my cousin, the two women would, as expected, sew the beast's mouth shut.

"Cousin? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I was scared to death~"

Unexpectedly, the middleman of this mission turned out to be Uchiha Madara. This finally put Uchiha Gin's heart at ease, and a smile appeared on his face.

"What is the mission? You're not asking me to look after the prisoners, are you?"

Recalling that he had once used his connections with Uchiha Madara to ask him to say a few good words to Senju Hashirama so that he could be assigned to work in the dungeon of Konoha, he did not expect that his cousin was so concerned and acted so quickly.

This year's New Year's money has doubled!
Uchiha Gin, with a smile on his face, has already begun to imagine a better life in the future.
As a result, the words from Qianshou Tonjian were like a bucket of cold water poured on his head, extinguishing his fiery heart as a jailer.
"Guarding prisoners. The nature of the job is similar, but the people you are responsible for guarding are not human beings."
