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

"Ah? Who is so bold?"

Uchiha Jing, who was being rubbed on the head for no apparent reason, raised his head in confusion, with an innocent look written all over his face.

"Uncle doesn't remember educating you to be such a dishonest child. Did you make bad friends and learn bad things from someone?"

Uchiha Gin, who was heartbroken, immediately increased his strength and mercilessly ravaged the little curly-haired boy with his big hands.
Danzo: Just tell me your ninja number!
"No? I don't know anything!"

Uchiha Jing, who was wrongly accused, puffed up his face and retorted. This righteous expression made Uchiha Gin couldn't help but doubt himself. The stolen goods had been recovered, but this kid was still so stubborn. Is there really another hidden story?
"Uncle Yin, what on earth did you lose?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin lost in thought, Uchiha Jing plucked up the courage to break free from the restraints of the big hand, and then asked carefully,

"Oh~ I lost two of my blankets at once, which made me not get a good night's sleep during this period."

After being forced by Xiaoguang to eat hot dogs in his room for three days, Uchiha Gin felt completely desperate. A revolving lantern kept running through his mind for three days, and he almost went to have a long talk with his ancestor.

"Blanket? Is that the one hanging in the yard?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Jing pounded his hand with an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"You know nothing, so why don't you tell the truth?"

Holding his slightly sore waist, Uchiha Gin asked through gritted teeth,
Good boy, you have become so powerful that you dare to steal things so confidently. I really don’t know who you learned this bad habit from.

"Uncle Yin, it's unfair. Those two blankets were given to me by Sister Guang so that I wouldn't catch a cold while camping."

Seeing this, Uchiha Jing immediately raised his hands and cried out that it was unfair.

"Forehead"

After learning the truth, Uchiha Gin rubbed his forehead helplessly.

No matter how careful you are, you can never guard against a thief in your own home. How could Xiaoguang be so careless that he didn't inform me about this matter in advance? Otherwise, he wouldn't be unable to sleep at night.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Uchiha Gin's mind, as if he had been enlightened.

Ball bean sack!

Something is wrong. One hundred percent wrong!

It is known that Xiaoguang knew that she could not sleep without a familiar blanket, but she still gave her only two blankets to Jingzai who was going on a long journey. So her behavior,
Was it intentional, accidental, or...
No, Uchiha Gin didn't even dare to think further.

Uchiha Gin swallowed hard and suddenly felt a chill down his spine. She was indeed a woman with two minds. If she didn't make a move, it would be fine, but once she did, her tactics were so terrifying.

No wonder the pillow on his bed was in Uchiha Hikaru's hand that night. She must have just tried to attack him at night but failed. However, she discovered the Flying Thunder God mark on the pillow, so she chose to sit back and wait.

"Alas! How can one person fight against two people~"

"Uncle Yin? Are you okay?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin suddenly depressed, Jingzi elbowed his generous uncle with some concern.
"It's okay, uncle has wronged you. Have you spent all your New Year's money? Use this first, don't save it, or you won't be able to hold on to it~"

Feeling guilty, Uchiha Gin, after a brief emo, fumbled in the bag on his waist for a while, took out a storage scroll, and threw it to Uchiha Jing without even looking at it.

"But it's not New Year yet?"

He hurriedly took the storage scroll, and Uchiha Jing's eyes were filled with an inexplicable look.

If it weren't for the New Year's money from Uncle Yin, they might not have been able to come back this time. When they become rich in the future, they must honor this good uncle very much.

"We have the conditions at home, so it's not too much to celebrate the New Year every day."

Uchiha Gin shook his head and motioned for Jingzai to accept it. After all, it was the refund for underage money confiscated from Kakuzu, so it could be considered as returning the property to its original owner.

"Thank you, uncle! I, your nephew, would like to wish you a happy new year. I wish you a happy new year every year."

Seeing that Uchiha Gin was so persistent, Uchiha Jing, who was already short of money, stopped being pretentious. He smiled and accepted the huge sum of money that belonged to him, and kowtowed hard to his good uncle.

“So full~”

After a hearty meal, the F6 and Uchiha Gin walked out of the Dalang BBQ restaurant with their bulging bellies.

"A Yin, next time I'll prepare something good for you. After I drank it, Yazi couldn't stand it~"

The busy Uchiha Dalang greeted them, looked at Uchiha Gin who was holding his waist, and said in a very teasing tone,

"That's great, I'll come tomorrow!"

Uchiha Gin's eyes lit up when he heard this. He is indeed a good friend and he has won my heart.

"Da Lang! What nonsense are you talking about?"

Before the two smelly middle-aged men could continue their conversation, a white little hand stretched out from behind Uchiha Dalang and grabbed his ear. Uchiha Ako gritted her teeth and said,
“It hurts, it hurts~”

Dalang is in prison, rest in peace!
After bidding farewell to the increasingly loving Uchiha Dalang and his wife, Uchiha Gin took the little ones for a stroll in the village. As it grew darker, he sent the little ones to their doorsteps one by one, and then strolled towards home alone.

Uchiha Gin's home was in a relatively remote area of ​​Konoha. After walking for a while, there were gradually no people around. On the quiet path, he was the only one walking slowly, and the shadow behind him was infinitely elongated by the bright moonlight.

"Bata~"

Suddenly, Uchiha Gin, who was yawning, stopped walking. His lazy eyes flashed with a sharp light. He then turned his head and looked at the dark shadows in the jungle not far away. He spoke slowly,
"came back?"

"Click! Click~"

As soon as his voice fell, a slender figure slowly walked out from the shadows. The cold moonlight sprinkled on the face of the shadow, revealing the stern face of Uchiha Madara.
"Cousin, I thought you were dead!"

Looking at his oldest cousin who loved him the most, Uchiha Madara smiled, and his icy expression melted away like spring snow.

"Pah, pah, pah! You kid, are you hoping that I'll die so that you can inherit my billions of inheritance?"

Uchiha Gin looked at the slightly agitated Uchiha Madara and rolled his eyes in anger. This kid's words were getting more and more unpleasant to the ear.

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue~"

After making a harmless joke, Uchiha Madara walked up to Uchiha Gin carrying a suitcase. In his eyes, besides the joy of reunion after a long separation, there was more gratitude and a hint of doubt.

"I thought you were going to play for another two years, why are you back so soon?"

Looking at Uchiha Madara, who looked much calmer and thinner than before, Uchiha Gin scratched his curly hair and asked in confusion,

"My mission has been completed. There is no need to waste time outside. But this..."

Uchiha Madara shook his head, then raised the suitcase in his hand to Uchiha Gin and asked,
"Brother, who are you?"

"Since you bah!"

Uchiha Gin, who almost fell into the trap of his cousin, pulled back in time and raised his eyebrows and replied,

"What's the matter? You've forgotten your roots after going out? Have you even forgotten who I am?"

"That's not what I meant. Where did you get this thing from?"

Without joking with Uchiha Gin, Uchiha Madara opened the suitcase, which contained a gray box and two small props with handles.
"You're asking this! This is the legacy I inherited from Master Bandai. It should be the trial version of the transformation device made by the previous senior brother."

Uchiha Gin, who had already thought of a reason, began to talk nonsense very fluently. His impeccable answer made Uchiha Madara very convinced.

"What are these two things?"

Uchiha Madara nodded, believing Uchiha Gin's answer, and then pointed to the two small props in the box.

Uchiha Madara recognized the gray box, as it was the transformation device used by the Tailed Beast Knights. However, he had no idea what the two small props were used for. Even after he successfully transformed, he still didn't understand what the two things were used for.

"It's a buckle."

After taking a look at the little thing he had made, Uchiha Gin replied seriously,
"buckle?"

"You can think of it as an upgrade item for the Knight System. These two are blank buckles that can be injected with other powers. After the transformation, they can be added to the Knight to make him even more powerful."

"Snapped!"

Uchiha Gin picked up two belt buckles and pressed them onto the grey driver. With a click, the two seemingly unrelated things actually fit together perfectly.

"Just use it like this, understand?"

“That’s a lot of work!”

After Uchiha Gin's personal demonstration, Uchiha Madara suddenly realized that these two ninja tools he had never seen before were actually the strengthening props made specifically for him by his cousin.
"Thank you, cousin!"

Uchiha Madara immediately showed gratitude on his face. This is a cheat that other knights don’t have. It really is good to have a big brother who is a technology lover!
"We're all brothers, why are you being so polite to me?"

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Madara is becoming more and more polite now. This is not a good habit. Uchiha Gin still likes the evil and wild cousin before. He shows everything on his face and is very easy to understand.

Won!
Uchiha Madara nodded first, then looked down at the two blank buckles in his hands, with a burning desire to fight in his eyes. With this strengthening item, he was more confident that he could defeat Hasila Mama.

"Now that you're back, why don't you go report to Hashirama and clear your name. Some of the little guys in the family are about to make a scene."

Seeing Uchiha Madara looking so miserable, Uchiha Gin knew without a doubt that the other party had just arrived. Logically, the eldest cousin should have gone to find his good friend to reminisce about the past instead of coming to thank him, an old gang member.

Ever since Uchiha Madara left the village without permission, the village chief, Hashirama Senju, has not issued any response. This made the Uchiha clan, who were unaware of the truth, mistakenly believe that their clan leader was persecuted by the village's top leaders and had to leave the village out of necessity. As for why he said such cruel words when he left, it was actually to sever ties with the family and thereby protect them.

This strange misunderstanding showed a tendency to intensify as Uchiha Madara was away for a longer time. There was even a group of passionate young people who secretly planned to overthrow the rule of Hashirama Senju and welcome the return of Uchiha Madara as the king.

"I know, but please allow me to be willful once more. Once I defeat Hasi La Ma, I will make amends to everyone."

Uchiha Madara's face twitched when he heard this. He also knew this news, and he learned it from Senju Tobirama's handwritten letter. He didn't even need to guess, he could imagine the abominable white-haired man's appearance when he wrote the letter. Haha, your Uchiha clan has been infiltrated by me like a sieve. I know all the gossips. Are you angry?

Senju Tobirama's methods are so terrifying that even the impregnable Uchiha clan has his secret sentries.

Uchiha Madara was so angry that he decided to carry out a major purge within the clan after his return, vowing to find out the traitors who defected to the Senju clan and sold out their ancestors for personal gain.

"Okay, okay, remember not to play too much, it would be bad if it damages the harmony."

Uchiha Gin was well aware of Uchiha Madara's stubbornness. He had no intention of dissuading him. He just reminded them not to fight too hard and to stop when the time was right.

"Hey, that's for sure~"

During the Warring States Period before Konoha was established, Uchiha Madara never really had the intention to kill Senju Hashirama. Even when his father died unexpectedly, he only targeted the white-haired man for everything.

Not to mention that peace has been achieved now, and everyone has worked together to build the utopia called Konoha. It is even more impossible for Uchiha Madara to fight to the death with Senju Hashirama. At most, he would beat the other party until he can't take care of himself, and then take care of the other party for the rest of his life.
Uchiha Gin looked at his older cousin who was eager to try and sighed deeply.
"This is the last time. Remember to find a class to attend when you come back."

Uchiha Madara is already quite old, but why is he still like a child? It is only because he has such a caring cousin like him to protect him, otherwise he would have been deserted by everyone long ago.

"I know, see you later!"

Now that he has figured out the function of the props, Uchiha Madara doesn't linger for long. He is going to challenge Hasi Lama to a fight and let the first generation have a taste of the second generation's iron fist.

"Tsk~ I thought he had matured a little bit, but I didn't expect him to still be so impulsive."

Looking at his cousin's receding back, Uchiha Gin shook his head and turned to walk towards home.

However, what Uchiha Gin didn't know was that shortly after the two brothers said goodbye, a dark figure quietly attached itself to Uchiha Madara's shadow and followed him as it slowly disappeared into the dark night.

"Wow, Tobirama has learned bad habits. He actually only chooses the expensive ones."

On the street, Hashirama Senju was crying bitterly, holding his empty wallet. He had never expected that Tobirama Senju, who always cared about him, would order the most expensive set meal in one go during the barbecue and squandered all his remaining small treasury.

"Thank you for your hospitality, big brother. I'll go back to work overtime first!"

As the instigator, Tobirama Senju, after eating and drinking, was not interested in being harassed by his elder brother, so he flew back to the office directly on Thunder God and continued his overtime work.

"Ah~ Born! Born!"

Looking at Senju Tobirama rubbing his feet with oil, Senju Hashirama couldn't help but beat his chest and stamp his feet, sighing that he had met the wrong person.

"My hands are itchy, how about this."

Although it was late at night, it was the prime time for gamblers. Hashirama Senju hadn't rolled the dice for several days. He was itching to play, and suddenly he remembered that he had a relative in Konoha, who was now from a wealthy family and could help him out.

"If I win, I'll give it back to Itama double!"

After a period of self-counseling, Hashirama Senju walked towards the direction of Uchiha Gin's family. He decided to swallow his pride and borrow money from his younger sister, and secretly made up his mind to repay her double if he won.

"Eh? This aura."

But before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly spotted a figure in the distance walking from the direction of the Uchiha Gin family. The figure and movements looked very familiar, so Senju Hashirama subconsciously opened his perception, which made him stand still in an instant.

This familiar smell is motor!

"Is this fate?"

Uchiha Madara, who had just finished greeting Uchiha Gin, also found a familiar figure. Without any hesitation, he opened his Sharingan and saw the handsome face of Senju Hashirama clearly. He couldn't help but sigh.
After confirming each other's identities, the two slowly walked together. Uchiha Madara looked at his best friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time. In addition to joy, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

The same was true for Hashirama Senju, but in addition to his joy, there was a desire and appeal that was visible to the naked eye, which made Uchiha Madara's heart tighten and he subconsciously tightened his buttocks.

"Hashi Lama, what do you mean by that look? I'm not a man you can get just because you want me."

Uchiha Madara folded his arms across his chest, looking at Senju Hashirama with a determined gaze, but he was secretly delighted in his heart.

"Motor! Can you?"

Senju Hashirama licked his dry lips, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Hmph! If you beg me, I might agree to it~"

"Please, Mada, lend me 100,000 taels to make a profit!"

"what?"

Feeling sleepy, he came to the pillow. Walking in front, Hashirama Senju was smiling as he counted a stack of banknotes he had just borrowed from Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara, who was following behind him, had a dark face and an expression as sour as it could be.

"Madala, you came back just in time. If I win later, I will return your money with interest!"

The double joy of having a close friend return and earning gambling money made Senju Hashirama feel like he had it again. He pointed at the gambling house that was open not far away, looking like he was about to make a killing.

"Haha, if you can win money, I don't even need to be the Hokage anymore."

Unexpectedly, the two who met after a long separation came to the gambling house to give money as their first stop. Uchiha Madara, who was angry but still followed obediently, looked at the confident Senju Hashirama and set a flag with great disdain.

As expected, Hashirama Senju, who entered the gambling house, lost 100,000 taels of silver and only had 10,000 taels left at a speed visible to the naked eye. Holding the few remaining bills, he glanced at Uchiha Madara who was looking at him with a mocking look, gritted his teeth, and bet all his remaining money on three sixes.

"Buy and leave!"

The dealer put the Gu on the gambling table, and all the gamblers present bet their money on big or small, without even looking at the leopard.
If you buy the villa opposite to the pillars, it will definitely be by the sea.

"Three, two, one, open!"

"I boil it!"

As the Gu was lifted up by the dealer, all the people present let out a cry of horror at the same time, turning into manure-spewing machines and asking about the dealer's family tree.

In the second game, Hashirama Senju did not hesitate and bet the hundreds of thousands he had just won on three sixes again. The gamblers around him instantly became furious and gritted their teeth to continue betting on big or small.

"Three, two, one, open!"

【666】

"Moda! I told you I could make a comeback!"

Walking out of the gambling house, Senju Hashirama, the only winner tonight, held up his winnings and proudly showed off to the stunned Uchiha Madara,
"Impossible, this is not real, this is an illusion!"

Even though Hashirama Senju threw the money at his face, Uchiha Madara still had an expression of disbelief. You know, ever since Hashirama Senju became addicted to dice, he has lost ten times out of ten and never won.

The people of Konoha call him the unbeatable man in the gambling house, a super fat sheep.

"Humph! This is my true strength. I was just giving in to them before, but they actually took it seriously~"

The smug Senju Hashirama counted out a large stack of banknotes with a smile and handed it to Uchiha Madara.
"Yes, this is the money I borrowed from you before. Now we are even~"

"Um"

Uchiha Madara took the somewhat unfamiliar banknotes with a complicated expression and nodded slightly.

"By the way, Madara, when did you come back? Why didn't you inform me in advance? Tobirama thought you had defected!"

After collecting the remaining gambling money into the treasury, Senju Hashirama finally remembered the important matter and asked,
"I just got back today and was busy on the road. I didn't have time to contact you."

"Since you're back, it means the mission is accomplished. Thank you for your hard work, Mada!"

Thinking that Uchiha Madara had brought him good luck, Senju Hashirama enthusiastically held his hand.
"Yes, the Nine-Tailed Fox has been captured."

Although Uchiha Madara's secret mission has many details, the most important one is to bring the Nine-Tails back to Konoha.
"Where's Kyuubi? Is he outside the village?"

Hashirama Senju was not worried about Uchiha Madara's capture of the tailed beasts. He thought they were just bigger beasts with more chakra, and Madara could capture them with just a glare.

“No, it’s here.”

Shaking his head at Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara reached out and pulled out a silver card from his pocket.

"Madara, where did you get the Tailed Beast Card?"

Sensing the burning breath emanating from the card, Hashirama Senju's smile froze on his face, and his expression immediately turned serious.
Madara actually sealed the Nine-Tails into the Tailed Beast Card. If the Nine-Tails breaks free from the seal, it will cause irreparable damage to the village.

"I met that mysterious knight, and he gave me this Tailed Beast Card."

Without hiding anything from his best friend, Uchiha Madara told the story of how he obtained the Tailed Beast Card.
"Phew~ It won't run out, will it?"

Senju Hashirama, who trusted his best friend unconditionally, did not continue to ask about the origin of the card. Instead, he was a little worried whether the Nine-Tails would break free.

In the eyes of Hashirama Senju, the Nine-Tails was still quite troublesome. He needed a wooden man to capture it quickly. Such a commotion would mess up the village that he had built with borrowed money and effort, and he would have to borrow more money to repair it.

Tobirama, when will the project you invested in become profitable? I can’t take it anymore!
"Humph~ Who are you looking down on? It's just a nine-tailed beast, and it can be refined in an instant!"

Putting the card in his arms, Uchiha Madara curled his lips and said slanderously,

"That's good! Tobirama is still working overtime, you should give him the Tailed Beast Card to study. He has been nagging for a long time."

After a long sigh, Senju Hashirama stepped forward familiarly, urging Uchiha Madara to pat his shoulder, but the other party blocked it with his hand.
The will to fight in his heart could no longer be suppressed. The Indra Chakra engraved deep in his soul prompted Uchiha Madara to reveal his scarlet eyes, and three mysterious magatama slowly rotated in them.

"Don't worry, Hasi Lama, let's have a long-awaited battle!"

"what?"

As if sensing Uchiha Madara's determination, after a brief moment of shock, Senju Hashirama's expression gradually became serious, and his body surface involuntarily emitted rich blue-purple chakra, his eyes instantly became sharp,
"Tata, open!" (End of this chapter)
