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

Here, Uchiha Jiji, who met Kinkaku and Ginkaku again, was reminiscing about the past with these two brothers who had changed their appearances.

On the other side, Uchiha Gin took Uchiha Hikaru to the busiest commercial street in the capital of Taki Country to look for clues.

Although the comprehensive strength of Taki Country is not among the five major countries, but thanks to its favorable geographical location, its economic development is not inferior to those of other major countries, and is even more prosperous than the remote and poor Wind Country.

Uchiha Gin's eyes kept wandering on both sides of the street, looking like he was looking for something.
"Gin, what are you looking for? Aren't you going to get information about the tailed beasts?"

Uchiha Hikaru, who had been strolling along the commercial street with Uchiha Gin, couldn't help but ask,

"Please be patient, let's find a place to eat something before we continue the mission."

After speaking to comfort the girl behind him, Uchiha Gin suddenly caught a glimpse of a shop that was open for business. His dead fish eyes suddenly lit up, and he pulled Uchiha Hikaru and walked in.

"Boss! Give me your signature yokan with honey!"

"Ah Yin."

There were not many people in the store. The girl, who had just been pulled into the strange store by Uchiha Gin, smelled a strong sweet smell. The fragrance of chestnuts floated in the air, which made Uchiha Guang's eyes suddenly become dangerous.

"Ahem. I finally got out here, so I must try the local specialties. This yokan is very famous. Brother Zhou Xuan recommended it to me~"

Feeling a little uncomfortable with the teasing gaze of the girl, Uchiha Gin coughed twice, not daring to look Uchiha Hikaru in the eye.

"You, don't you know your own physical condition?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin's pitiful appearance, Uchiha Hikaru's heart softened, and his tone became softer, with a hint of blame.
"I'll just have one portion. The honey here comes from the famous beekeeping family, the Kamisui clan. It's unique in the ninja world!"

Uchiha Gin breathed a sigh of relief, twitched his nose, and showed a very intoxicated expression on his face, and then he began to explain,

"Oh? Then why did you only order one?"

Somewhat moved by Uchiha Gin's words, the girl raised her delicate eyebrows and questioned in a bad tone.

"Boss! Give me another one!"

"Hmm? There are only two of us?"

The girl raised her head, and a flash of darkness passed through her eyes.

"Two!"

"Ou Yixi~"

The girl, who didn't know whether it was light or darkness, put a piece of yokan covered with sticky honey into her mouth, holding her face and showing a happy smile. Uchiha Gin, who was standing next to her, carefully divided a large piece of yokan into fingernail-sized cubes, preparing to eat it slowly.

"Boss! Give me two servings of your signature red bean yokan to take away!"

Just as Uchiha Gin put a piece of yokan into his mouth and savored the refreshing sweetness, a tall figure rushed in from outside the door and shouted in a very rough accent,
"what?"

Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Uchiha Gin raised his head in confusion, and saw a big round face with a ferocious look. A hideous dragon was perched on the barren head, and the two small eyes as big as green beans showed a look of "keep away from strangers", and looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.

"Okay."

The boss was really scared when he saw the new guest with a bandit-like appearance, but fortunately this was the downtown area of ​​the capital of Taki Country. If someone really wanted to do something wrong, the security team would naturally come to deal with it.

"Sramana prisoner!"

Unexpectedly, after several months of separation, they met again in a foreign country. Uchiha Gin sighed at the fate and then excitedly greeted the somewhat wary monk.

"Mr. Eyin! Sasipuri~"

There was a strong excitement on Shamon's rough face. He just came to this famous dessert shop to buy souvenirs for his two little disciples while his men were searching for information. He didn't expect to meet Uchiha Gin here.

"Ayin, who is he?"

In view of Shamon's obvious male characteristics, Uchiha Hikaru did not show too much worry. He just glanced at Shamon and asked softly,

"Shamon, my buddy, is now the second in command of the Sand Village. He has a promising future~"

This simple sentence accurately summarizes the life of Shaman.
"I didn't expect to meet you here. I left in a hurry last time and didn't have time to get together with you. I'm so sorry."

Sitting at Uchiha Gin's table, Shamon showed a sighing look on his face. During the Five Kage summit, because the Sand Village did not choose to participate in the bidding for the tailed beasts, Reito had already hurriedly taken him away while the other countries were waiting for the handover of the tailed beasts.

"Why are you and I still being so polite? As the host last time, I was not very hospitable. Please don't take it to heart."

Uchiha Gin really regarded the honest and simple monk as a friend worth making, who was much better than Reito, who was full of cunning schemes.

"Mr. Yin, are you here for tourism?"

The monk who sat down took a look at what Uchiha Gin and the other man were wearing and found that they were just ordinary casual clothes. They had no other weapons except a wooden sword. He then asked in confusion,

"Well, I guess so~"

Uchiha Gin's heart moved when he heard this, but he did not tell his real purpose, but asked,

"What about you, brother Shamen?"

"Me. I'm here for tourism too!"

The monk's face froze when he was asked this question, and he answered with a vague look in his eyes,

Brother Shamen, after all these years, how come you still can't control your facial expressions well? You almost have the words "I'm lying" written all over your face.

"Ayin, isn't your friend a little bit unintelligent?"

Uchiha Hikaru, who had listened to the conversation between the two, lowered his head and elbowed Uchiha Gin beside him, and asked in a low voice.

"."

"Guest! The yokan you packed is ready~"

Just as Uchiha Gin and Shamon were reminiscing about the past, the boss came over with two exquisite gift boxes and shakily placed the packaged desserts on the table.

"Phew~ Mr. Gin, I won't disturb you and your wife's world of two for now. When we have time to go to the Sand Village, I will treat you well."

The monk rubbed his big bald head naively, not wanting to be a light bulb any more, picked up the packed yokan and left first.

"Madam. Yin, your friend is quite smart!"

When Shamon called him like that, Uchiha Hikaru's eyes narrowed into slits with joy, then he nodded seriously and began to praise him repeatedly.

Is this his face? It's too real~
"Let's go, it looks like everyone from other countries has arrived."

He threw the last piece of yokan into his mouth, chewing the intoxicatingly sweet Uchiha Gin, his eyes thoughtful.
Even the Wind Country, which is the farthest from the Land of Taki, has arrived, so people from the other major countries should have arrived long ago.

"If only people of this level come, it will be really uninspiring."

Uchiha Hikaru, who stood up following Uchiha Gin, suddenly had a cold expression on his face. The innocent look he had just had was gone, and his dark eyes were filled with deep disdain.

Based on the monk's aura, Uchiha Hikari easily deduced the other party's strength, which was only slightly stronger than an elite jonin, which was not at all worthy of her attention.

Uchiha Hikaru, who had been somewhat interested, suddenly felt bored.

"Don't underestimate Shamen Laodi. He has a venue card."

Hearing the girl's words, Uchiha Gin shook his head helplessly. The monks who left Loulan, without the protection of the dragon veins, naturally had their strength greatly reduced.

If Shamon and Uchiha Guang were to fight in Loulan, Uchiha Gin believed that Shamon's brother would at least be able to leave an intact body.

After leaving the Yokan shop, the girl following Uchiha Gin asked again,

"Are we going to start the mission?"

"Go find Xiao Zhi and the others first, and then we can discuss it later~"

Uchiha Gin actually knew the location of the Seven-Tails a long time ago. He came out this time simply to try the yokan that he had just visited.

Wow, it's worth the trip! Leave your coordinates later~
"What are you two brothers doing all the way to Taki Country?"

Uchiha Jiji, who was talking with Kinkaku and Ginkaku, looked at the two men's sophisticated equipment and asked thoughtfully,

"Do whatever you want."

Just as the outspoken Jinjiao was about to reveal the purpose of his trip, Yinjiao, who was standing beside him, elbowed his elder brother and answered first,

"We're just passing by to resupply, we'll be leaving in a moment."

Yinjiao's answer was very convincing and he didn't seem to be lying.

But for some reason, Uchiha Jiji sensed a familiar aura from Ginkaku, but he just couldn't remember where he had encountered it.

"Uh, yeah, yeah, we're just here for supplies!"

Reminded by his brother's eyes, Jinjiao came to his senses and nodded hurriedly, and the black laborers behind him also nodded.

This unnatural look, in the eyes of the meticulous Uchiha Jiji, seemed to be an attempt to hide something, and he instantly guessed the other person's little thoughts clearly.

"In that case, I won't bother you any more. I still have to go look for Mr. Yin."

Uchiha Jiji understood the situation and just wanted to pass the information to Uchiha Gin as soon as possible. He then pulled Senju Itama aside and said goodbye to Kinkaku Ginkaku.

"Well, remember to say hello to Mr. Yin on our behalf and tell him that we two brothers have done nothing to bring shame to him!"

Jinjiao also knew that now was not the time to reminisce, and he was on a mission so he couldn't say much. He then said something respectfully to Uchiha Jiji, and then disappeared around the corner with a group of black laborers.

"Is the curly-haired baboon so powerful?"

Just now when the two sides were reminiscing about the past, Senju Itama had been listening carefully with his little ears perked up. The flattery shown by Kinkaku and Ginkaku did not seem fake, especially when he mentioned that Uchiha Gin actually saved the two brothers from his second brother, he almost dropped his jaw in shock.

"Mr. Yin, you are very modest."

Having seen the first generation wooden man that was comparable to the tailed beast, Uchiha Jiji nodded slightly.

However, the girl still couldn't understand why her teacher had been hiding his strength. It was obvious that he had power comparable to that of the clan leader, but he insisted on doing the most basic job as a prison guard. It was really puzzling.

"Little governance!"

Just as the girl was thinking about it, she heard Uchiha Gin's surprised voice not far behind her. She turned around and saw her teacher and Uchiha Hikaru walking towards them quickly. Uchiha Gin walked in front of Uchiha Jiji and nodded to his disciple, then set his eyes on Senju Itama behind her, and without any hesitation, he threw an angry fist directly.

"Boom!"

"You little brat! Who told you to run around?"

"Ouch~ what did you do?"

"Shut up and stop making chicken noises!"

After giving the disobedient Senju Itama a good beating, Uchiha Gin finally calmed down a little. He turned to look at Uchiha Jiji who had a complicated expression, and blinked in confusion.

"Xiao Zhili, what happened?"

"Mr. Yin, I just met someone I know."

"acquaintance?"

Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It was true that he had acquaintances all over the ninja world, but there were not many acquaintances that Uchiha Jiji also knew.

"Do you still remember those two children of the Yuyi clan?"

"Oh~"

It turned out to be the two brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku. It seemed that the people sent by the Hidden Cloud Village to find the Seven-Tails were undoubtedly them.

"Mr. Yin, aren't you surprised?"

Seeing that Uchiha Gin did not show much surprise, Uchiha Jiji was very puzzled.
"What's so surprising about this? We just ran into an acquaintance."

"You guys encountered it too?"

"Well, they should all be here for this mission. Let's not conflict with them for now and wait for the right opportunity to act~"

Now, Taki Country has gathered task forces from the five major countries. Everyone has the same goal. Now that the Seven-Tails has not appeared yet, only a fool would conflict with people from other countries.

"boom!!!"

However, things always develop unexpectedly. Just when Uchiha Gin was trying to persuade the women not to conflict with ninjas from other countries, a huge explosion suddenly sounded on the street not far away, followed by a strong smell of chakra.

"No, there really are fools?"

Uchiha Gin, who was slapped in the face, complained with some jealousy, and then without hesitation, he took a few girls to watch the fun.

Being slapped in the face is one thing, but eating melons is also important.

The place where the explosion occurred was not far from Uchiha Gin and others. In just a few breaths, he led his men to the roof of the scene, staring with wide eyes to see who was so brave.

"How dare you, a little white-bearded man, sneak attack me!"

Just as he stretched his neck to watch the show, an angry voice came from the thick smoke. The familiar voice made Uchiha Gin raise his eyebrows.
"Hahaha, how did you become like this? But to be honest, you look a lot better than before, bandage man~"

Another sharp voice sounded, and Uchiha Gin and others immediately shifted their gaze over, only to see a brown-haired and bearded man in flashy clothes, waving his hands with a smug look on his face. It was obvious that he was the culprit of the explosion.

"Ninjas are fighting, go notify the security team!"

After a brief moment of stagnation, the civilians in the capital of Takikuni fled in all directions, clamoring to seek shelter from the security team.

"Ghost Lantern Huanyue, this is a residential area, how dare you do this?"

Wu, who was covered in broken belts, took a few steps back and distanced himself from Gui Deng Huan Yue. Looking at the destroyed streets, he asked in a cold voice,

"My aim has always been good. The attack just now did not hurt a single civilian."

As if he was very confident in his attack, Gui Deng Huan Yue sorted out his exaggerated discovery and laughed arrogantly.

"hateful!"

Wu was very angry at being robbed for no reason. He immediately drew out the two big swords behind him and rushed towards Guideng Huanyue who had a smug look on his face.

The old enemies were extremely jealous of each other when they met. Gui Deng Huan Yue did not dodge. There was madness in his eyes. He quickly raised both hands and made a pistol shape.

"The art of water and iron cannons!"

Uchiha Gin on the roof looked at the rich water-attributed chakra condensed at the fingertips of Hozuki Huanyue with some annoyance. He was addicted to a certain mobile game in his previous life, and was often tortured by this move of the mustache guy.

Guideng Huanyue's eyes condensed, and the next second, countless liquids like bullets shot out towards Wu Guan who was approaching.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

As the distance was too close, Wu was unable to dodge and held his two swords in front of his chest to resist the dense water bombs. The crackling sound of collision was heard instantly.

"Hahahaha. Die!"

Seeing that Wu Ti was unable to defend himself, Gui Deng Huan Yue shot the water cannon in his hand even faster, with the sole intention of shooting the guy in front of him into a sieve.
"what?"

Just when Gui Deng Huan Yue was enjoying his shooting, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. The strength of the Wu in front of him seemed to be greatly reduced compared to before.

In the past, the other party would definitely have a way to deal with it, instead of just sitting there and waiting to die and being beaten passively.

"not good!"

While Guideng Huanyue was wondering, a dazzling light suddenly appeared behind him. He was startled and reacted immediately. His whole body instantly turned into a pool of liquid and fell to the ground.

Water transformation technique
"Boom!"

The next moment, a beam of white light shot out and hit the place where Gui Deng Huan Yue was standing. Fortunately, he reacted in time and used the water transformation technique to avoid the fatal blow.

"Huh~Huh~It's so slippery like a loach."

The audience then discovered that there were actually two Wu in the arena, one of whom was just resisting Gui Deng Huan Yue's water cannon.
As for the other one, he had somehow circled behind Gui Deng Huan Yue, raised his hands in front of him, and was slandering him while panting.

The white light that just now emitted a terrifying aura was emitted by this thing.

"The Clone Technique? No, this is definitely not the Clone Technique!"

The liquid Ghost Lantern Huanyue took advantage of the moment when Wu just released his Dust Escape and quickly moved to a safe area. He slowly condensed into a human form, and his eyebrowless forehead wrinkled into a "川" shape. He said in doubt and surprise,
"Humph!"

Wu naturally would not make his ninjutsu known to the public. This splitting technique was his new best move.
Fortunately, in the last battle, Hozuki Gengetsu was not proficient enough in the use of the Steam Dangerous Explosion and did not injure Wu's meridians. He was able to rely on his sophisticated chakra manipulation ability to barely use the Dust Release with half the power while using the Splitting Technique.

"Come again!"

What he hated the most was Wu's arrogant look. Gui Deng Huan Yue was so angry that he jumped up and down, raising his hands to prepare to fight this kid. Rich water-attribute chakra condensed in the air, and humid mist slowly enveloped the entire street.

"Stop it! This is the capital of Taki Country. Are you foreign ninjas disrespecting the majesty of the Daimyo?"

Just as the battle was about to escalate, a loud shout came from the corner of the street, and a team dressed in exquisite armor arrived at the scene in the blink of an eye. They all wore black masks, and their eyes were covered by an inky crystal, making it impossible to see their pupils.

"It's the Ghost Soldier Corps! These ninjas are in for a hard time~"

The civilians hiding in the houses looked at the team rushing to the scene with joy on their faces, and they all leaned out to watch the show.

"Aren't you Takinin?"

Wu Luo, who had lifted the splitting technique, stepped aside and looked at the strange team that suddenly appeared. He was a little confused. Logically speaking, the security of the capital should be the responsibility of the country's ninja village, but the team in front of him that exuded a gloomy atmosphere was definitely not those scumbags from Taki Ninja Village.

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, you guys from the Hidden Rock Village. Now I'm giving you two choices: either hold your head and squat, or let us beat you down."

The leader of the Ghost Army did not answer Wu's question. Instead, he slowly drew the sword from his waist and issued an ultimatum in a cold tone.

"Pretend to be a ghost."

How could Wu Zuo, the second-in-command of the Iwagakure Village, choose to compromise? He just waved his hand, and several stones rose from the ground and shot towards the Demon Army. He wanted to teach this arrogant guy a lesson.

"You dare to resist?"

The leader of the Ghost Soldier Team was not panicked, but eager to try. He raised one hand and quickly made seals. Uchiha Gin, who was watching the fun, couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he saw the seals made by this man.

How much do you guys like to use the art of mercy?
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

A huge fireball spewed out of the mouth of the ghost army leader. The hot breath instantly melted the stones shot by Wu into gravel. The flames then enveloped the somewhat confused Wu with unstoppable force.

No, I'm just testing you. Are you serious?

Based on this terrifying fireball technique, he was 100% sure that the mysterious leader in front of him was no less powerful than himself.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

Wu had no time to dodge, so he had to use the Earth Flowing Wall technique to block the flames. Fortunately, the opponent had no intention of killing him, so the flames were quickly swallowed by the Earth Flowing Wall.

"Who are you?"

Wu, who was already thinking of giving up, couldn't help but ask,

"Ghost Squad, surrender!"

The leader wielded a fancy sword technique and slashed at Wu, who had no choice but to raise his two swords to fight back.
"Ah Yin, why does this man's swordsmanship look familiar?"

"Mr. Gin, isn't this Uchiha style swordsmanship?"

"Ahem. You must have seen it wrong. How can an outsider know our Uchiha swordsmanship? It may be a copycat. We only know the form but not the meaning~"

Facing the two girls' questions, Uchiha Gin laughed them off, but he couldn't help but think about it in his heart.
No, these guys don't know how to cover up. I must go back and have a good talk with my uncle and ask their instructors to improve the teaching syllabus.

"Good swordsmanship!"

After exchanging several moves with this mysterious leader, Wu's eyes became slightly more excited.
On the rooftop, Uchiha Gin, who was watching the fight between the Demon Soldiers and Wu, snatched the small bag from Senju Itama, and under her murderous eyes, he took out the sweet drink inside and took a sip.

Below, Wu retreated a few steps due to the impact of the chopping, staring directly at the mysterious leader, with sincerity visible to the naked eye on his bandaged face, and asked slowly,

"Are you interested in joining the Iwagakure Village? Staying in a remote place like Taki Country is really burying your talent~"

"Poof!!!" (End of this chapter)
