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

The turmoil in Takikuni came and went quickly. It only stayed on the ninja world's hot list for two days before it lost its popularity. It was like the water surface after a stone was thrown into it. After causing waves, it will eventually return to calm.

Konoha
"Cousin, did you encounter any happy things?"

Uchiha Madara, who had made an appointment with Uchiha Gin to have ramen at noon, couldn't help but ask his cousin who always had a strange smile on his face.

These past few days, he could always see a strange, meaningless smile on Uchiha Gin's indifferent face. At first, he didn't feel anything unusual, but after smiling for several days in a row, Uchiha Madara felt a chill down his spine and physically uncomfortable.

"Haha, is it really that obvious?"

Still immersed in the joy of having personally contributed to the birth of the tailed beasts, Uchiha Gin subconsciously touched the corners of his mouth that he could not suppress when he heard his cousin's question.
"Uh... to be honest, that smile is pretty disgusting."

Uchiha Madara was not polite either, after all, he loved to tell the truth.

"I don't have any money. You're on my side."

It would have been fine if he had just whispered behind my back before, but this brat actually dares to confront me in person now. He is finally getting too powerful!

"I'm living a life of trying to make ends meet, how dare you exploit me?"

Touching the empty wallet in his arms, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but murmur in a low voice. He was now paid to work, and the electricity meter was running backwards. The more he worked, the poorer he became.

"You are a ninja after all, why don't you take on some missions to earn some extra money?"

Uchiha Gin was naturally very clear about Uchiha Madara's current financial situation. Ever since his eldest cousin became the candidate for Hokage, all family affairs were thrown to Izuna.

The Uchiha clan has always been honest and fair. As long as you do not participate in family affairs, you will not be able to enjoy the dividends from the family business, which caused Uchiha Madara's plan to fail.

Furthermore, he was so busy with work that he had no intention of carrying out missions to earn money. All the above, coupled with some uncontrollable reasons, led to Uchiha Madara gradually becoming a poor household in Konoha and living a life of tightening his belt and cutting back on food.

"How can that be possible! What is my current status? Can you ask me to go on a mission?"

"What's your identity? A paid temporary worker~"

Seeing Uchiha Madara's arrogant look, Uchiha Gin rolled his eyes and pierced him mercilessly.

"cough cough"

Uchiha Madara's face froze when he heard this. He coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, then lowered his head and started fighting with the unfinished ramen on the table.

Uchiha Gin sighed and shook his head, lamenting that his cousin's long gown might not be taken off.
"Here, I know you are embarrassed to take money from the family, so use this first and don't lose face in front of that white-haired guy."

In the end, Uchiha Gin couldn't bear to see his cousin suffer, so he took out the thank-you money that Hyuga Tenyo had sent him from his bag, took out a stack and stuffed it into Uchiha Madara's hand.

"Big cousin"

Touching the heavy banknotes in his hand, Uchiha Madara raised his head with complicated eyes, feeling warm in his heart.

As expected, my eldest cousin loves me the most! When he gets old, I will definitely respect him very much!

"Alright, take it quickly, and remember not to lend it to Hashirama's brother again."

That's right, the culprit who made Uchiha Madara so poor now is Hashirama Senju, who looks honest and loyal on weekdays, but actually turns into a gambler of Konoha after get off work.

As long as Hashirama Senju asked, Uchiha Madara would take out two coins to lend him even if it meant turning his underwear upside down.

"Absolutely not!"

Unless the hot mom kneels down and begs me~
"That's fine, let's go after we finish eating~"

Seeing Uchiha Madara's solemn promise, Uchiha Gin felt relieved.

Walking on the streets of Konoha, Uchiha Madara looked at Uchiha Gin with confusion.

"Cousin, this is not your way home, right?"

"I just happened to be going to the Hokage building to do something."

The two chatted all the way until they reached the entrance of the mission hall. Uchiha Gin waved goodbye to his cousin. Before he could turn around, he suddenly heard a surprised voice behind him.

"Master! I finally meet you again!"

Master?

Uchiha Gin frowned. Apart from Xiao Zhili, he had never accepted any disciples. Even the future F6 were just his students.

Uchiha Gin turned his head in confusion and finally saw who the guy was who claimed to be his master. He rolled his eyes and said,
"I never said I wanted to take you in as my apprentice, you pervert!"

"I'm not a pervert, my name is Maruboshi Kosuke, Master!"

"If you're not a pervert, why would you accept that kind of mission?"

After being teased by Uchiha Gin, Maruboshi Kosuke blushed immediately and then waved his hands repeatedly.

"That was just my curiosity. I have changed my ways now!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but look up and down at the ten-year-old kid. He found that his clothes were a little messy and there were a few bloodstains on his cheeks, as if he had just been in a battle. Then he asked,
"What are you doing?"

"Hehe, I just completed a mission to wipe out bandits."

Uchiha Gin suddenly realized what was going on, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the boy also changed slightly.

"What? Are there any naked female bandits among the bandits?"

"Master, can you please stop talking about this?"

When he heard that Uchiha Gin took the opportunity to make fun of him again, Maruboshi Kosuke covered his face in embarrassment, as if his dark history had been exposed.

"Don't call me Master, let's get to know each other formally. My name is Uchiha Gin, and I'm a caring person."

"Master is actually an Uchiha, I can't tell at all!"

Maruboshi Kosuke, who finally learned Uchiha Gin's real name, was shocked. He applied his usual stereotypes of the Uchiha clan to Uchiha Gin in front of him, and found that none of them fit.

"I told you not to call me Master, just call me Gin-san~"

"Roger that!"

"Tell me, how did you escape from Slaanesh?"

After getting to know each other, Uchiha Gin, with his hands on the pillow, looked at Maruboshi Kosuke who was covered in injuries with some curiosity. He really wanted to know how this kid woke up.

"Uh, it's so miserable~"

That's right, after seeing the miserable experience of Hinata Tenyo, Maruboshi Kosuke left an indelible shadow on his young mind, especially the old aunt Akimichi who looked like Hajime Tsuyoshi, who woke him up from nightmares several times.

So he made a vow that he would never be interested in peeping again, and would never take any mission to be a female bath guard.

Tsk~ Tianyao Laodi’s blame was not in vain. He successfully brought a good Konoha man who had gone astray back on the right track. It was indeed a great merit!

"Excuse me, Gin-san, I have to go turn in a mission. I'll treat you to a meal when I get my reward!"

Maruboshi Kosuke checked the time, quickly apologized to Uchiha Gin, and ran towards the mission hall.

Looking at the young man's hurried back, Uchiha Gin scratched his head with some regret. If he hadn't just had a meal with his eldest cousin, he would definitely have slaughtered this kid.

"See you again~"

Without choosing to wait for Maruboshi Kosuke, Uchiha Gin turned and walked into the Hokage building nearby.

After greeting the guard, Uchiha Gin walked to the Hokage's office with ease.
"Bang bang bang~"

"Come in!"

As soon as they entered the room, the two people in the office raised their heads at the same time. After seeing that the person coming was Uchiha Gin, Hashirama Senju, who was sitting on the Hokage throne, relaxed his frown slightly, and then stood up with a smile.
"Brother Yin, you are finally here!"

"You're sending me a message so early in the morning. What's up?"

Uchiha Gin walked to the tea table in the Hokage's office very familiarly, took out the sugar hidden in the innermost part, and poured himself a cup of sweet tea with a smile.
"We came to you to ask you about the tailed beasts."

Senju Tobirama, with a twitching face, saw Uchiha Gin actually wasting tea leaves like this, and felt very distressed, and said,

"The Tailed Beast? What happened to the Tailed Beast?"

After taking a sip of the sweet tea, Uchiha Gin asked knowingly,

"Can the wedges I asked you to plant help us track the location of the tailed beast?"

Tobirama Senju did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. He just wanted to use the wedge that Uchiha Light had planted in the tailed beasts to retrieve the missing Seven-Tails from Taki no Kuni.

"No."

Uchiha Gin answered directly without any hesitation.

"Tsk! What's the point of having you plant wedges?"

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Gin answered so quickly, and the answer was not what he wanted. Senju Tobirama immediately stood up angrily.

"Heh~ The ninja world is so big, and the range of our Uchiha clan's sensing wedge is limited. Unless the tailed beast is nearby, forget it."

What Uchiha Gin said was indeed true. The wedge that Uchiha Hikari planted in the tailed beasts could only be sensed within a certain distance.

"This is troublesome"

After hearing this answer, Senju Tobirama calmed down. As a master of ninjutsu, he could naturally judge the truthfulness of what Uchiha Gin said. Then he frowned and murmured in a low voice.

"Whose tailed beast escaped?"

Pretending to know nothing, Uchiha Gin asked curiously.

"It's Nanabi. A traitor ninja from Takigakure took Nanabi away."

Senju Hashirama, who had dealt with Takinin before, explained with a gloomy expression,
"Takinin Village?"

You have to put on a full show. Seeing Uchiha Gin's confused look, Senju Hashirama immediately repeated the whole story.

"Phew~ It's really too dangerous. A crazy rebel ninja controlling a tailed beast is like a desperate thug holding 6000 billion detonating tags. I dare not even think about what cruel things he will do."

After listening to Nanabi's story, Uchiha Gin said solemnly,
"We thought so too!"

Although it is strange that the number of detonating talismans must be accurate to 6000 billion, this is not the time to delve into such unimportant details.

"So what do you want to do now?"

The wedge that was planted is of no use for the time being, and Uchiha Gin really wants to know what the Senju brothers will do next.

"Tobirama, what do you think?"

Hashirama Senju, who is not good at finding solutions, has to seek help from the meticulous Oudou.

"It seems there is really no other way."

Frowning and thinking for a while, Senju Tobirama raised his head and set his eyes on Uchiha Gin who was sipping sweet tea, "What do you want to do!"

Feeling that he was being stared at, Uchiha Gin put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Senju Tobirama with questioning eyes.

This white-haired guy definitely has nothing good to say.

"I want to issue a mission in the name of the village and ask the Uchiha clan to search for the Seven-Tails."

The only solution now is to rely on the Uchiha clan to go out and search for the Seven-Tails, try to narrow the scope, and use the wedge's sensing to find and bring back the missing Seven-Tails.

ha?
Uchiha Gin was very reluctant to accept this mission. Looking at the piercing eyes of Senju Tobirama, he immediately said,
"Are there many people who know this information?"

"not much."

Senju Tobirama said this, and stretched out five fingers.

"Only five people know about this. That's okay, that's okay~"

"It's the five great nations."

"Snapped!"

Uchiha Gin slammed his hand on the table, and looked at Senju Tobirama with a dangerous look in his eyes.

"Why are you still robbing me? Others have already left, right?"

"Indeed, according to intelligence, several other countries have already sent personnel to Taki Country."

Flipping through the information in his hand, Senju Hashirama answered,

"This is difficult~"

"It's a little late to set off now, but you Uchiha clan have your own radar, and your search speed is definitely much faster than the ninjas of other countries."

"Although what you said, white-haired, does make some sense, but do you think the ninja sent to find the tailed beasts would be some kind of weak-kun?"

"With the peace agreement in place, they won't act easily."

Hearing that Uchiha Gin was worried about a conflict with ninjas from other countries, Senju Hashirama quickly spoke up to support the peace agreement he had initiated.

"Haha, the conflict that occurred during the mission is not within the scope of the peace agreement you signed."

What Uchiha Gin said was indeed correct. The peace agreement signed at the previous Five Kage Summit only stipulated that war conflicts could not occur among the countries, but it did not include conflicts that occurred during the mission into the category of war.

After all, missions have commissioning parties. If a mission is to assassinate someone, and that person happens to hire ninjas from another country as guards, then there will inevitably be a conflict between the two. This conflict caused by the mission certainly cannot be used as an excuse for war.

"Huh~ Even so, we can't let a traitor-nin possess a tailed beast."

After figuring out the interests involved, Tobirama Senju felt that the matter had become complicated, but when he thought about the tailed beasts in the hands of the rebel ninjas, his sense of crisis could not be dispelled.

"How about I take someone to check out the situation first. What if the intelligence is wrong and Nanao just took advantage of the rebellious ninja to sneak out and play?"

Seeing that he couldn't avoid this matter, Uchiha Gin had no choice but to nod and agree.

"How many people are you planning to bring?"

The Senju brothers are very clear about Uchiha Gin's strength. Because of the "side effects" of the Yin Seal, this curly-haired guy is at most an elite jonin. Facing the tailed beasts, with the restraint of his eye techniques, he might be able to fight. But if he meets ninjas from other countries, it's hard to say.

"Too many people and too many eyes, our mission can't be seen in public, so I'll take two people with me~"

Several figures quickly flashed through Uchiha Gin's mind, and he first excluded his older and younger cousins. The older cousin had a bad temper, and if they encountered ninjas from other countries, he would start using the Gundam if they disagreed, causing unnecessary trouble. The younger cousin had to take care of government affairs and pick up girls, and he simply couldn't spare the time. As for the person without a Mangekyō, he didn't even consider him.

By this calculation, only Uchiha Hikaru and Uchiha Jiji can be taken out.

"Are you going to bring Mada and Izuna?"

When he heard Uchiha Gin mention two people, Senju Hashirama immediately asked nervously. It seemed that he also understood Uchiha Madara's temper very well and was worried that the other party would cause trouble outside.

"No, my cousins ​​are all very busy, so I won't disturb them. I'll take Xiaoguang and Xiaozhi with me."

"can."

Senju Tobirama still has the information of the two women on hand. He is still very relieved about the two holders of the Mangekyō Sharingan. The only one he needs to worry about is the curly-haired Uchiha Gin.
"Then I'll go inform them first and come to your place to receive the mission tomorrow~"

"and many more!"

Just as Uchiha Gin turned to leave, Senju Tobirama, with a gloomy expression, spoke up,
"what happened again?"

This white-haired guy has so many things to do, why don’t you go by yourself!

"Take this kunai. If there is any danger, activate the spell on it."

I saw Senju Tobirama groping behind him, and finally took out a plain kunai, but in the position of his hand, a spell was written crookedly.

"Oh?"

Taking the kunai thrown by the other party, Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows, feeling the familiar fluctuations emanating from the kunai, he looked at Senju Tobirama with some surprise.

"Don't think too much. I'm just afraid that you'll be captured, taken back, have your limbs cut off, and be transformed into a ruthless sowing machine."

"Can't you hope for me to be better?"

After hearing this lame excuse from Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Gin rolled his eyes, but still put the kunai into his bag.

"Hurry up and prepare, we'll set off tomorrow!"

After the matter was said, Senju Tobirama immediately ordered them to leave, leaving Senju Hashirama beside him scratching his head in embarrassment, and apologetically smiled at Uchiha Gin,
"Tobirama always speaks his mind, don't mind it, Brother Yin."

"It's okay, thank you~"

Uchiha Gin smiled and shook his head. He looked at Senju Tobirama who had his arms crossed over his chest. He waved at him, turned around and left the Hokage's office.

"This curly-haired man must not get into any trouble."

When Uchiha Gin's footsteps disappeared in the corridor, Senju Tobirama's cold eyes gradually softened, and with a rare hint of worry, he said easily,

"Tobirama, don't worry, Brother Gin will be fine~"

Senju Hashirama saw his brother's worried face, and then stepped forward and patted his shoulder in a comforting manner. He was not worried at all about Uchiha Gin's mission this time.

The Uchiha Hikari that Uchiha Gin is going to bring is a woman who can kill a wooden clone with half her strength in one blow.

Cold drink shop at the village entrance
"Dingling~"

"Welcome Mr. Guangyin?"

As Uchiha Gin lifted the door curtain, the purple-haired girl who was busy at the bar raised her head. The words "welcome" that she had just said were stuck in her mouth. A blush involuntarily appeared on her face, which was quickly covered up by her cold expression.

"Xiao Zhili, I miss you so much~"

"Mr. Yin, your quota for this month has been used up."

"Tsk, don't be so ruthless, little Zhili, rules are dead, people are alive!"

Thinking of eating and drinking for free at his good disciple's place, Uchiha Gin pouted and sat in front of her, his hands on his face, his eyes full of pleading.
"Phew~ Stop looking at me like that. This is all for your health."

Looking at the pitiful Uchiha Gin who looked like curly fleece, Uchiha Jiji, who was almost soft-hearted, took a deep breath, threw away his pity, and shook his head decisively to refuse.
"The small governance is still as strict as ever~"

Knowing that there was no result, Uchiha Gin smacked his lips, pointed at the drink machine behind the girl, and said,

"Then give me a glass of lemonade. I have something to discuss with you."

"Oh?"

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Gin had other things to do. Uchiha Ji turned around and took a glass of pre-made lemonade. He paused while mixing the honey syrup.

"You can only drink one cup, and don't tell Guang-senpai."

As she spoke, under Uchiha Gin's surprised gaze, the girl scooped three large spoonfuls of water into the lemonade and handed it over.

"Little Zhili is the cutest in the world~"

As a result, Uchiha Gin was delighted by the bright yellow lemonade, and he praised it lavishly.
"Tons, tons, tons~"

"Phew~ It's alive!"

After drinking the sweet lemonade, Uchiha Gin felt that every pore in his body was moaning with comfort.
"Mr. Yin, what's the matter?"

The girl tilted her head, looking at Uchiha Gin who looked very happy, and a charming smile appeared on the corner of her cold mouth.

"The organization has a mission for you!"

"As long as it's what Mr. Yin wants me to do, I can accept it~"

That night, in Uchiha Gin's room, an unprecedented duel was taking place. The loser would pay a price more precious than his life.

Uchiha Gin raised his body with difficulty. The sheets under his butt were already soaked. Leaning against the head of the bed, he adjusted himself to a comfortable position and reached out his hand to caress the defeated Uchiha Hikaru beside him.

"Xiaoguang."

"Oh, you called me wrong. I changed people the third time~"

Uchiha Gin felt a pain in his bird's nest, and was so scared that he quickly changed his words.
"Xiao An!"

"Tell me, you must have something to ask of us, otherwise you wouldn't let us be riders."

Uchiha An, who had released Uchiha Ginichirō, raised his head from under the covers, his eyes filled with deep mockery.
"It's like this, there's a mission out there, and I want to take you with me."

"Can you fight?"

"Probably."

If they encounter a search team from other countries, there will probably be a conflict if they are not acquaintances.

Of course, even acquaintances can't guarantee it.

"That's fine. Staying in the village all the time makes my bones itch."

It has been a long time since the sparring with Otsutsuki Tsukishime, and Uchiha Hikari has not found a suitable opponent in the village. Facing familiar people, she can't move freely. The restlessness suppressed in her heart makes her eager for this mission.

"Hoo~ Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow!"

Hearing the girl's decisive answer, Uchiha Gin suddenly felt that his hard work was not in vain. He heaved a sigh of relief, pulled up the quilt and was about to go to sleep. After tossing and turning for several hours, even a strong kidney would become idle.

However, a white little hand appeared in the darkness and stopped him from covering the quilt. The girl, whose temperament was completely different from before, had a slight shyness on her face and a desire that could not be hidden in her eyes.

"Ayin, it's my turn now." (End of this chapter)
