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

"A child cannot be taught!"

After careful teaching, Wangliang still could only call himself Curly, which made Uchiha Gin, who was originally full of confidence, feel hopeless.

"Alas~ I think of my unparalleled wisdom and intelligence, so how come the clone I created is so wise."

Uchiha Gin, who was slumped on the side, looked at Wangliang who was still struggling, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
"Another drink~"

Facing Uchiha Gin's mockery, Kaguya did not get angry, but pushed the empty cup over.
As long as this descendant can provide her with a stable supply of secret sweet drinks, it would not be unacceptable for Uchiha Gin to take advantage of her a little.

"Want more?"

Uchiha Gin turned around and took a look at the lemons contributed by his little cousin, and found that the raw materials had been used up and now not even a drop could be squeezed out. He then waved his hand and said,
"No more, no more~"

Kaguya frowned when she heard this. This descendant really didn't know what was good for her. She thought she was showing him respect by asking him to offer tribute to her. In the past, those humans who wanted to give her gifts had to queue up for a lottery half a year in advance.

"Continued Cup!"

Wangliang's tone this time was a little more humane than before. Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard it. Looking at her cold and beautiful little face, he found that there was a hint of annoyance between her brows.

"There's no lemon left. Do you want ice cream?"

Feeling that Wang Liang's behavior was becoming more and more like a human, Uchiha Gin, with a spirit of inquiry, glanced at the ice cream machine behind the bar and asked,
Ice cream?
Kaguya Maro frowned. She had never heard of such a thing.
"Try it, it's a cold drink developed and made by me, Uchiha Gin. It's delicious~"

That’s right, the ice cream sold by the Oji family was made by Uchiha Gin.

After Konoha was founded, Uchiha Gin asked for the best-located shop from the clan and gave it to Mrs. Eimi, allowing her to return to her old business and open a cold drink shop.

But Uchiha Gin was really tired of eating shaved ice all the time, so he created the ice cream from his previous life. Unexpectedly, it sold very well and received rave reviews, and it also attracted many foreign friends.

It is said that not long ago, there was a little girl from the Wind Country who was so addicted to ice cream that she didn't even want to go back to her country. She clamored to join Konoha, but was eventually knocked unconscious and carried away by her master.

If it weren't for the unstable world, Uchiha Gin really wanted to open a beverage store in Konoha, and he even thought of a name.
It's called Honey X Ice City~
As he spoke, Uchiha Gin had already entered the bar, operated the ice cream machine, and squeezed out a big sundae.

Kaguya tilted her head in confusion. The white food in front of her exuded a cold breath and had a strong milky aroma. She swallowed subconsciously, looked up at Uchiha Gin who was smiling warmly, and chose to take the large sundae.

"Eat it quickly, or it will melt in a moment~"

Seeing Wang Liang's cautious look, Uchiha Yin couldn't help but smiled and urged him,
After hesitating for a moment, Kaguya stretched out a slender finger and tentatively touched the top of the sundae. The cool touch made her shudder suddenly.
After retracting her fingers, Kaguya looked at the milky white ice cream on her fingertips and slowly put it into her mouth.

"Ou Yixi!"

Kaguya sucked her fingers hard. The rich and sweet aroma of the cream ice cream made her eyes shine. It was so delicious, but she only got to eat it today. She felt like she had lived in vain for the past thousands of years.

I saw her grabbing the large sundae on the table and wolfing it down. Her rough eating method caused the ice cream to splatter everywhere, and her dark-skinned little face was covered with sticky milky white liquid.

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

He didn't even use a spoon and just chewed it with his mouth. He was indeed a puppet that had just awakened. Uchiha Gin felt that he still had a long way to go in his training.

But Kaguya didn't listen to Uchiha Gin's words at all. She continued to concentrate on inhaling the violent wind. The scene was simply horrific.

"Hey~ look up."

Uchiha Gin couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he took out a tissue and said,
"?"

This time Kaguya actually listened and raised her little head in confusion, wanting to see what Uchiha Gin was going to do.

The next moment, a big warm hand reached out and gently wiped the ice cream off her face. Kaguya, who had never been treated like this before, idled on the spot and let Uchiha Gin do whatever he wanted.

When Uchiha Gin's fingers accidentally brushed her lips, Kaguya's heart, which had been silent for thousands of years, began to accelerate for the first time. A blush spread uncontrollably on her face, and steam was faintly rising from the white hair on top of her head.

"Dingling~"

At this ambiguous moment, the door of the cold drink shop was suddenly pushed open. At the same time, the sound of the bell on the door curtain woke up the stunned Kaguya.

"It's Xiao Zhili, go back quickly!"

Just by listening to the footsteps, Uchiha Gin knew who was coming, so he quickly stood up and stood in front of Kaguya, urging in a low voice,

Uchiha Gin has not yet revealed the fact that he has opened the Mangekyo to anyone. If other people discover the existence of Wangliang, he will not be able to explain it even if he wants to.

"Uh? Mr. Yin, why are you here?"

The person who came was Uchiha Gin. The girl was carrying two large bags of yellow fruits that were very familiar to Uchiha Gin, and she looked at him with surprise.

However, the girl, who had been careful since childhood, immediately became sharp after seeing Uchiha Gin's panicked expression, and looked around quickly, trying to find out something.

Uchiha Gin took the time to glance behind him and found that the seat where Wang Liang had just sat was empty. He even took the unfinished sundae ice cream with him before leaving.

"Whoo~"

Uchiha Gin, feeling relieved, slowly let go of the tense expression on his face, but the purple-haired girl in front of him frowned more and more.
"Little governance, long time."

Uchiha Gin took a step forward, ready to greet his apprentice.
"Mr. Yin, please stop!"

Unexpectedly, the usually docile Uchiha Jiji, contrary to his usual behavior, stopped his teacher. There was an expression of disgust on his pretty face, which made Uchiha Gin, who was about to step forward, a little confused.

"What happened?"

“Mr. Yin, if you really can’t help it, please go to the bathroom to do this kind of thing.”

"???"

Hearing this, Uchiha Gin was stunned where he was. Confused, he followed the girl's disgusted gaze, slowly lowered his head, and looked at the tissue in his hand, which was covered with milky white unknown liquid that was slowly dripping.

"I didn't! This is not it! Let me explain!"

Shadow Realm

Kaguya sat on her own big bed, holding the sundae she brought from the real world, tasting it in small sips, recalling the touch on her lips. Her dark little face became hot uncontrollably, and her white eyes were filled with meaningless thoughts.

"That descendant is called Uchiha Gin, right?"

In the Hokage's office, Senju Hashirama, who had returned to his original job due to the lack of a helper, was working overtime. When he reviewed a report on the slow progress of a certain project, his sword-like eyebrows slowly raised, and he looked up at Senju Tobirama who was sorting out documents on the side, and slowly spoke,

"Tobirama, when will the money arrive?"

Konoha is currently in need of money. Although Senju Tobirama had taken back part of the dividends before, most of it was used to pay Uchiha Gin, and the account is still in a state of full deficit.

"Brother, don't worry. The shipping company of Wave Country has just started, and the revenue will not be credited to the account for a while. Wait a little longer, wait a little longer~"

Senju Tobirama's body froze when he was asked this question, then he remembered the tea and letter sent by the Wave Country official, and immediately put his heart back in his stomach.

“But now money is needed everywhere!”

If it was someone else who embezzled public funds, Senju Hashirama would have given him a massage with a wooden man long ago. Why would he be so nice to him?

"If all else fails, we can use some of our family's ancestral property to solve this urgent problem first."

Senju Tobirama actually knew more about Konoha's financial problems than anyone else, but he firmly believed that money makes money. As long as the shipping company of Wave Country got off the ground, he would definitely make a fortune, and then he would be able to stand up straight in front of that curly-haired guy.

"squeak~"

"Deng deng deng"

Just as the Qianshou brothers were planning to sell off their property, the door of the office was pushed open from the outside, followed by a burst of harsh footsteps that made them frown immediately.
Who is so rude? Does he think this Hokage's office is his own?
So, the two brothers, feeling uneasy, set their sights on the intruder, ready to teach this rude man a lesson.
"You are."

However, because the person who came looked too crude, Senju Tobirama was forced to swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

I saw a person coming in wearing a pair of exaggerated sunglasses on his face, a black tight T-shirt with a huge Sharingan pattern embroidered on his chest, white skinny pants on his lower body, gold pointed Chelsea boots on his feet, and a dazzling green small leather bag under his arm. He was standing in front of the door, shaking his head and posing coquettishly.

"oioioi, isn't this the hot mom of Hasi? I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so lame?"

Judging from the voice, this man with a unique appearance turned out to be Uchiha Madara, a close friend of Hashirama Senju who had not seen him for a few days. He walked to the desk with a heartless step, pushed up his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and spoke in a very arrogant tone.

"."

"Madala, what are you wearing?"

After finally recovering from the shock, Hashirama Senju's eyes were full of disbelief. It was obvious that Madara was well-dressed and behaved gracefully, just like a girl from a scholarly family.

Unexpectedly, she has transformed into a rebellious and spirited little sister.

This is really a surprise!
Contrast, the main point is a contrast~
"What do you think? This is the most fashionable outfit these days. Your long gown is outdated. If you go out, people will think you are an antique~"

Uchiha Madara, who had completed his transformation, pointed at the plain robe on Senju Hashirama and mocked him with a very disdainful tone.

I don't know when this trend started, but it suddenly became popular in Konoha, and was started by an unknown and cheerful Mr. Sasuke.

Then it spread like a plague, and for a time this style of dressing was popular in the streets. Any ninja with a little bit of strength would spend a lot of money to privately order a set of exclusive suits from an unknown designer.

"Come to think of it, I have seen quite a few people dressed like this recently."

Senju Hashirama was not angry at being ridiculed, but instead showed a teasing smile and looked at Uchiha Madara's tight buttocks with interest.
What a handsome outfit, I want it too!

"Humph! This unhealthy trend should be banned. Big brother, please issue an order to ban this kind of dressing!"

Seeing his elder brother being bewitched, Senju Tobirama was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. Then he said with a gloomy face,
"Huh? When did Konoha become so feudal that they can't even dress freely? If someone were to become Hokage, I'm afraid even the color of their underwear would have to be the same."

Uchiha Madara glanced at the furious Senju Tobirama, his disdain evident in his eyes, and then he started to speak in a sarcastic tone.

"Alright, alright, why do you two always quarrel whenever you meet? We are all family~" It was a familiar scene again. Senju Hashirama stood up helplessly to stop the fight, as if this had become his daily routine.

"Humph!"

The two people who were arguing turned their heads away at the same time and ignored each other.

Seeing that the two of them had calmed down, Senju Hashirama breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his original seat.

"Madala, why don't you take a few more days off?"

Only a few days had passed since Uchiha Gin forcibly took Uchiha Madara away. I didn't expect that he would recover so quickly and come to work.

"All the clan affairs are handed over to that kid Izunai. I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well come back to work."

Uchiha Madara skillfully turned the green bag over and replied casually,

"Okay, okay, I was just worrying about not being able to finish the work on hand, and you came~"

As for the free labor, Hashirama Senju welcomed it with all his might. Not only was it capable, but it was also pleasing to the eye. So he could just be happy!
"I knew Konoha would fall apart without me."

Uchiha Madara nodded in agreement, then sat down at his previous office, which was now piled with documents waiting to be reviewed, so he quickly got into the state and started processing them at a rapid pace.

Senju Tobirama, who was sitting opposite him, saw this scene and chose to shut up, sat down silently and continued working.

Although Senju Tobirama hated Uchiha Madara, he had to admit that he was a rare talent. He was powerful and intelligent, but his emotions were not very stable.

"Is Konoha short of money again recently?"

Looking at the monthly financial report in his hand, Uchiha Madara frowned beneath his sunglasses. He had long known that Senju Tobirama was unreliable, and the whereabouts of the embezzled public funds were still unknown.

"Nothing, just a minor problem. We have found a solution~"

Seeing Uchiha Madara mention this, Senju Hashirama, who was concerned about his brother, answered first,

"The Water Country is attacking the Whirlpool Country? What's going on? Didn't they say they had a ceasefire?"

After revealing this matter, Uchiha Madara found another piece of intelligence from abroad. When he saw the word "war", his brows, which had just relaxed, frowned again. They had just signed a peace agreement, so why did they turn around and attack their neighbors?

"I know about this, but the Land of Water didn't get any advantage. The tailed beast they just bought was almost captured by the Land of Whirlpools."

The Senju Tobirama on the opposite side raised his head, with a thoughtful look in his scarlet eyes, and then he explained,

"Regardless of whether they gain an advantage or not, why can the Water Country start a war at will?"

Regardless of the outcome, Uchiha Madara only wanted to know the motivation for starting a war.

"Alas, Madara, there is nothing we can do. The peace agreement we signed at that time only included the five major powers, and only prohibited wars between the five major powers. As for those small countries, they were not included."

It turns out that the Land of Water took advantage of a loophole in the agreement. In order to avenge the previous attack, it took the newly acquired tailed beast and went to the Land of Whirlpools, hoping to take back the ground it had lost before. However, it did not expect that the ninjas of the Land of Whirlpools were not pushovers either.

The Three-Tailed Fox, who was thrown into the territorial waters of the Whirlpool Country by the Water Country, just opened his eyes and saw a sky full of chains coming towards him. Before he could say a word, he was disarmed on the spot.

If it weren't for Byakuren bringing the recovered Hozuki Gengetsu and Katsura, who first trapped the Uzumaki clan's ninjas with the illusion of a mirage, and then risked their lives to snatch back the frozen Three-Tails, the Water Country would have lost both the wife and the army.

"You're asking for trouble. Everyone knows that those red-haired people in the Whirlpool Country are top-notch seal masters. They can easily deal with the tailed beasts."

Shaking his head in disdain, Uchiha Madara, who knew the whole story, did not feel the slightest sympathy for the tragic fate of the Water Country.

"It really is what he deserves. I heard that old fellow Bai Lian was seriously injured. I'm afraid he will abdicate soon."

It's rare that Senju Tobirama shares the same opinion as Uchiha Madara.
"Fortunately it is the Whirlpool Country. If it were any other small country, it might have already fallen."

Even though they have had less contact over the years, their blood ties still exist. If the Whirlpool Country is really in trouble, Hashirama Senju will definitely provide assistance at the first opportunity.

"The Tailed Beast is indeed a tricky existence."

Through this incident, Tobirama Senju saw things more far-reachingly than the other two. The tailed beasts are nuclear weapons that are a deterrent in peacetime and a killer in wartime.

Although the eldest brother and Uchiha Madara can easily control the tailed beasts, after several years, when Konoha is renewed and there are no longer strong people like them to support it, then Konoha without the tailed beasts will be slaughtered at will in the eyes of other countries.

"Tobirama, do you have anything to say?"

Seeing his brother's deep expression, Senju Hashirama, who knew his habits, asked,
"Brother, I think Konoha needs a tailed beast as well."

Senju Tobirama raised his head and answered with a serious face.

"Hmph~ What's the use of something that kicks its legs when you glare at it?"

Uchiha Madara, who had captured a tailed beast with his own hands, scoffed at the words of Senju Tobirama. Even if there were more tailed beasts, they could not match his pair of Eternal Mangekyō.

"Do you think anyone can be like you?"

Senju Tobirama rubbed his temples with a headache. On such an issue concerning the survival of Konoha, he did not want to have a meaningless argument with Uchiha Madara.

“Well, it’s not that I haven’t.”

Uchiha Madara originally wanted to say no, but when he recalled the woman next to his eldest cousin, he scratched his face in embarrassment, and his tone lost its previous arrogance.

"."

"What I mean is, after many years, when none of us are alive anymore, can you guarantee that there will still be people as powerful as you in Konoha?"

"I can promise that."

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Madara answered very quickly this time, which caught Senju Tobirama off guard.

"Don't be blindly confident, things are unpredictable"

"My eldest cousin can live a long time, and Uchiha Hikaru beside him will definitely live a long life as well."

Uchiha Madara shook his head and mentioned the name of Uchiha Gin.
"That curly hair. You mean, the Yin Seal?"

After being reminded by Uchiha Madara, Senju Tobirama woke up as if from a dream. Yes, that Uchiha Hikari, whose strength was unknown, had learned the Yin Sealing Technique from Uchiha Gin, and his lifespan had been greatly extended. As long as he did not take action frequently, he could bring long-term peace to Konoha.

The tailed beasts are invading, quickly go and ask for help from ancestor Hikari!

However, when Senju Tobirama remembered that the other party was from the Uchiha clan, his brows furrowed.
If it is really as he thought, then Konoha will have to act according to the Uchiha clan's wishes in the future, which is a result he does not want to see.

No, we can't rely solely on the Uchiha clan, Konoha needs its own nuclear weapons.

"I think it's better to have the tailed beasts as a deterrent. This way we can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Senju Tobirama shook his head and still insisted on his point of view.

"It doesn't matter, they are all local chickens and tiles anyway."

Uchiha Madara, who didn't care about this, just sneered coldly but didn't refuse.

"Tobirama, your idea is good, but all the tailed beasts have been sold. Where can we find extra ones?"

Senju Hashirama, who was listening in on the side, scratched his head and interrupted, saying that when they sold the tailed beasts before, they didn't keep any in Konoha~
"Brother, isn't there another one?"

Senju Tobirama raised the corner of his mouth and smiled strangely.

"And. You mean."

"Yes, it's the Nine-Tailed Fox!"

"Ah? I made a promise with it!"

That's right, after the previous Tailed Beast Pokémon Tournament, Hashirama Senju promised to set the Nine-Tails free and promised that he would never catch it again.

However, the despicable white-haired man disregarded the agreement between Hashirama Senju and the Nine-Tails and wanted to capture the helpless Kurama again.

"Humph! What morality are you talking about with a beast? Just catch it back!"

"No, no, I swore in the name of the Six Paths Sage that if I catch it again, I will die without a burial place and will never be reborn."

Senju Hashirama showed a rare look of embarrassment and said he was powerless to fulfill his brother's request.

"tsk"

Knowing that his elder brother was a man who valued his promises, Senju Tobirama had to give up and let Senju Hashirama capture the Nine-Tails.
While thinking, he suddenly saw Uchiha Madara who was writing furiously at his workstation. A gleam of brilliance suddenly flashed in his eyes, and a smile called conspiracy quietly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Konoha cannot be without the tailed beasts, just like the Land of Fire cannot be without Konoha."

Suddenly, Senju Tobirama said something incomprehensible. Uchiha Madara, who was processing documents, immediately raised his head in confusion, wanting to see what tricks the white-haired man was playing next.

"Uchiha Madara, do you know the Nine-Tails?"

During the previous war of the tailed beasts, the tailed beast controlled by Uchiha Madara was defeated by the Nine-Tails, and thus missed the chance to become Hokage. Now that Senju Tobirama has brought up the past, he must have his own purpose.

"Nine-tailed Fox, that's the one that won in the end."

Of course Uchiha Madara remembered that hateful big fox. If it weren't for it, he would have been riding on Hashirama Senju's head and acting arrogantly. How could he still be working overtime here day and night for free like a corporate slave?

"Brother, how strong is the Nine-Tailed Fox?"

I don't know why Senju Tobirama asked this. Senju Hashirama was about to answer casually, but suddenly he remembered what he said to Uchiha Madara after winning the Tailed Beast War. Then he spoke nonsense with a wandering look in his eyes.
"Um, it's very strong. See my hands? I used all my strength to fight it evenly." (End of this chapter)
