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

"Hate it, what are you doing~"

"Stop talking nonsense and change it to a reasonable size for me. This is really immoral!"

Uchiha Gin frowned tightly, took out a coat from his backpack, and wrapped Senju Itama, who looked resentful, tightly.

“But this is what it was originally like!”

Senju Itama finally bought a bunch of new clothes that fit him well, but before he had the chance to show them to someone, he was naturally unwilling to wear them and stretched out his hand to tear off the coat wrapped around him.

During the tug of war, the waves that arose made Uchiha Gin subconsciously look away, still saying the same thing as before.

"Stop talking nonsense. Just do what you are told to do. Do you want to be spanked again?"

"Hmph! Then come on, whip me, it just itches so badly~"

She leaned forward with her black and white head, and pointed at the top of her head with a Thousand Hands Itama, looking like a female devil, which made Uchiha Gin feel suffocated.
"you!"

Just as Uchiha Gin was about to say something, a faint fragrance invaded his mouth and nose. Sniffing this familiar yet unfamiliar fragrance,

He lowered his head to look at Senju Itama's beautiful eyes like the night sky, stuffed back all the motherly quotes in his mind, and the expression on his face changed from anger to helplessness.
"What a nuisance! You're too conspicuous like this. It's easy to attract unnecessary trouble. Be obedient and shrink a little bit, about this size. I'll treat you to barbecue tonight."

Scratching his head, Uchiha Gin, who failed to force anyone, had to resort to bribery. While speaking, he drew an arc with both hands in front of his chest, signaling Senju Itama to make fine adjustments according to the template.

"Hmph~ Since you've said so, I'll change it reluctantly."

Seeing Uchiha Gin's rare submission, Senju Itama, with his hands on his chest, showed a smug smile on his face.

He raised his little face and snorted, then narrowed his eyes and leaned close to Uchiha Gin's ear. His mature voice, filled with warmth and a hint of seduction,

"Curly-haired baboon, do you have any requirements for the shape?"

"!!!"

Can it be customized?

Uchiha Gin's eyes widened, and hundreds of various shapes subconsciously flashed through his mind.
"Hehe~ Lululu, big hentai!"

As a result, before he could come to his senses, the embarrassed Senju Itama was the first to laugh out loud, covering his mouth, making a face at Uchiha Gin, and turned around, leaving him with a pretty back view.

"Why are you going?"

"Change."

I didn't expect that this kid knew how to be frugal. Uchiha Gin nodded with satisfaction.

"Then go directly to Dalang's store after you change. We'll meet there."

"I see. Older people are just long-winded."

Holding the storage scroll containing the new clothes, Senju Itama walked out of the door wearing Uchiha Gin's coat.

When she could no longer feel the gazes on her, the girl's fair face instantly turned red and she buried her head in her chest like an ostrich.

"Phew~ How embarrassing."

After a while, holding her hot cheeks, Senju Itama stood up, with an inexplicable light flashing in her shy eyes. After a long sigh, she looked down at the exaggerated ups and downs, and a smug smile appeared on her face again.

“I am number one.”

After Senju Itama left, Uchiha Gin wiped the sweat off his forehead and sat down on the sofa with a lingering fear on his face.
"That was a close call. I almost fell into the trap of Qianshou."

Uchiha Gin admitted that his mind was a little unstable just now. After all, the flat-faced little ghost he had been watching for several years suddenly turned into this. How could an ordinary person control himself? Fortunately, he was determined, otherwise he would have made an irreparable mistake.

After a moment of silence, Uchiha Gin cheered himself up and went to the backyard. There was no one else at home, so he could do his daily tasks.

As the air around him stagnated, the familiar water ripple light curtain slowly fell. Uchiha Gin raised his head and found a pretty figure in the backyard.

"Huh? This isn't it"

Before Uchiha Gin could reveal the other party's identity, he saw a sharp spear coming through the air. After he dodged it flexibly, what came into view was paper flowers flying all over the sky.
"I said the purple one is very charming."

Uchiha Gin nodded in approval. His voice was not loud, but it made the NPC who was performing his favorite secret technique tremble slightly, and the movements of his hands suddenly became faster.

The NPC that appeared in front of me was none other than the popular angel Konan in Naruto.
At this moment, she had a white paper flower on her head, and was wearing a black robe with red clouds. Her long black legs were faintly visible from the lower body, and her exaggerated purple eyeshadow made her look a little rebellious. Her overall look was not much different from what Uchiha Gin remembered.

The purple girl, an NPC like any other, was using her famous secret technique with all her might. Pure white papers floated beside her, and at her command, they transformed into sharp swords that attacked Uchiha Gin.

"Since you are also a miserable person, I will let you go easily."

Lifting his half-closed eyelids, Uchiha Gin activated his own Mangekyo Sharingan without Magatama. Knowing the miserable life story of the girl in front of him, he shook his head as if sighing, and then a windmill pattern appeared in his eyes.

"Tsukuyomi."

Uchiha Gin spoke softly, his cold and dark eyes gushing out. Konan, who looked numb, froze, and his raised hands slowly dropped.
A few seconds later, the familiar water ripple light curtain appeared again, wiping out Xiaonan who was standing there.

"The backyard refreshes a random skill [Secret Technique·Paper Ninjutsu] every day, and obtains Secret Technique·Paper Ninjutsu*1"

"Huh? Your face finally turned pale for once!"

The system's prompt sounded in his mind. Uchiha Gin blinked in surprise. He actually used a complete skill directly.
The last time I was this lucky was the time before.

The probability of getting a complete skill in the backyard at one time is equivalent to drawing a whole card one hundred times. Over the years, Uchiha Gin has only been able to get a complete skill a few times.

【study】

After a sigh, Uchiha Gin reached out and clicked the learning button.
"Learning success."

The next moment, a vast amount of secret knowledge poured into his mind. A few seconds later, Uchiha Gin opened his eyes. Having mastered the paper ninjutsu, he raised his hand and tried to perform a new secret technique.
"Dance of Shiki Paper."

Uchiha Gin's body began to turn into pure white paper, floating up slowly.

"Paper spear."

As he thought about it, the papers scattered around him instantly turned into sharp spears. Uchiha Gin locked his target on the training target in the backyard. With a wave of his hand, the spear shot out like an arrow from a bow.
"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound, and the target was instantly pierced into pieces by the paper spear.

"It's OK, it's playable."

Looking at the powerful paper spear, Uchiha Gin nodded reluctantly. For him now, this level of secret technique would hardly bring him improvement, so he could only use it to appease children.

After the contact paper dance, Uchiha Gin landed safely and patted the non-existent loose dust on his body. He was about to go out to keep his appointment, but the paper flower pinned on Xiaonan's head just now flashed through his mind.
"Oh right! I almost forgot about this."

Slapping his forehead, Uchiha Gin fumbled in the system backpack for a while and took out a paper flower of the same style as Xiaonan.

[Flowers That Never Wither]: Provides the host with a secret technique instruction for three days. (Special item, please use with caution)

But compared to the paper flower on Konan's head, the prop in Uchiha Gin's hand is a little rough. The paper is slightly yellowed and has many wrinkles. It is obvious that the owner of the work tried many times before he successfully folded it.

"This thing is supposed to teach paper ninjutsu, but I've already learned it. Do I still need to use it?"

Looking at the prop in his hand, Uchiha Gin scratched his head in confusion, but driven by curiosity, he still tried to click on the yellowed paper flower.

[Whether to use]

The system coldly listed two options in front of Uchiha Gin, but he did not rush to click. Instead, he asked the system,
"Does using this item mean I have to be away for three days?"

If I suddenly disappeared, my cousin and the others would definitely turn the entire ninja world upside down.

"No, after using the item, the host's timeline will stagnate, and will not flow again until it returns."

The system that had been silent for thousands of years actually answered Uchiha Gin's question for the first time.

But from its answer, Uchiha Gin keenly noticed something unusual, and a thoughtful look appeared in his half-closed eyes.
The host's timeline?

Doesn't that mean that after using this item, I will travel to another timeline?
With a try-it attitude, Uchiha Gin asked again,
“This timeline is.”

"No answer."

Before Uchiha Gin could finish his words, the system responded as if it had triggered some key words.

"This is difficult~"

Uchiha Gin, who had not had much expectation of using this tool for learning secret techniques, suddenly became extremely interested. Without any hesitation, he directly clicked on the option to use it.

"Used successfully, please wait while loading."

The air around him stagnated, and Uchiha Gin looked up with a sense of something, only to see the familiar water ripple light curtain falling from the sky, completely engulfing his figure.

Time: 37 years of Naruto

Location: Rain Country
The Second Ninja World War broke out in full swing. The Rain Country, sandwiched between the three major countries of Earth, Wind, and Fire, became the main battlefield. Ninja troops from many countries fought within the territory of the Rain Country. Years of war brought tragic disasters to the Rain Country.

Civilians of the Rain Country were in the center of the war and were inevitably dragged into it. Their lives and property were tragically taken away, and countless families were torn apart.

The orphans created by the war were displaced and, like stray dogs on the roadside, they hid in dark corners, licking their wounds secretly.

In a relatively stable town in the Rain Country, two thin figures wearing tattered cloaks were lurking in the alleys on both sides of the street.
"Gulu~Gulu~"

"Yahiko, I'm so hungry."

Along with a slight gurgling sound, one of the shorter figures stretched out his thin and slender little hand and tugged at the corner of his companion's clothes. His soft voice was filled with weakness.

"Xiao Nan, wait a moment. The owner of that stall will go to deliver the goods soon. Then we can secretly take some samples." The slightly taller figure turned his head. Under the tattered cloak was a small face full of determination. Looking at his companion who had not eaten for three days, he gritted his teeth and spoke to comfort him.

"Ok."

Hearing that she would be able to eat soon, the short figure raised her head, revealing a pale and weak little face. She licked her bloodless lips, and the girl named Xiaonan nodded slightly.

Long-term malnutrition made Xiaonan's beautiful hair become rough and withered, and her thin body seemed like it could be blown down by a gust of wind.

"He's gone! Move fast."

Soon, the stall owner they were following pushed the truck away. Yahiko, with excitement flashing in his eyes, was the first to run out, crouching down, followed closely by Konan.

The two children came to the stall, which was a small stall selling sesame cakes. The stall owner had already pushed away the truck full of steaming hot sesame cakes.
The only things left on the stall were some samples for display. Although it was unknown how long they had been there, they were real sesame cakes.

Looking at the sesame cakes for display, the two of them swallowed their saliva, quickly took out the bags they had prepared, and started packing them.
"Yahiko, these are moldy."

As a result, after packing only a few pieces, Xiao Nan discovered that except for a few pancakes on the outside which were in good condition, the ones inside were all covered with mold spots.

"Take them all."

Yahiko looked at the sesame cakes, gritted his teeth, and packed them all up regardless of their quality.

"Where did this little thief come from? How dare you steal my things!"

Just as the two were returning with their goods, the stall owner who had just left turned back and saw two sneaky figures stealing his goods. He immediately shouted,

"Run!"

Looking at the tall stall owner, their faces turned pale. Yahiko shouted, and they ran away in separate directions.

"Damn it! Don't let me catch you."

The cursing stall owner spat and chose not to chase after him. It was just some hard biscuits that had been left for a long time that were lost. He had not delivered all his goods yet, and he turned back just to get the delivery order.

"Hoo~ho~ho~"

Xiaonan ran blindly for more than ten minutes, her lungs felt like they were on fire. Finally, she collapsed on the ground, leaning against a dilapidated wall outside the town due to exhaustion.

With her head raised and her mouth wide open, Xiaonan drank the rusty rain from the Land of Rain. When the burning sensation in her lungs disappeared, she let out a long sigh of relief, looked down at the bag of pancakes, and a smile appeared on her pale face.
"It's time to reunite with Yahiko."

After struggling to get up, Xiaonan prepared to go to the agreed place to meet Yahiko.
"Gulu~Gulu~"

As a result, a loud sound was heard, and a hint of red flashed across her little face. She swallowed hard and reached into the bag of sesame cakes.
"I'll just eat one."

Taking out a moldy pancake, Xiaonan, who had been hungry for several days, didn't care whether it was clean or not, and took a bite.
"Crackling~"

"Ouch my teeth."

Xiaonan, who had tried her best but failed to break the sesame cake, rubbed her delicate face with tears in her eyes. The bite she had just made did not leave any mark on the sesame cake.

"I remember Yahiko said that sesame cakes will become soft after being soaked in water."

Recalling his companions' teachings, Xiaonan seriously raised the pancake in his hand high up to let it be baptized by the rain, but this strange movement seemed like some kind of strange ritual.

"Mom and Dad, I'm so hungry."

His weak arms trembled slightly, and tears flowed down his face.
Today is the 30th day since Xiaonan became an orphan. A month ago, she was the apple of her parents’ eyes. Although her family was not wealthy, they had enough food and clothing.

As a result, when the war broke out, Xiaonan's family became the first victims. Her parents, who were civilians, died tragically in the chaos of the ninjas, but she was lucky enough to escape.
After wandering in a daze for a few days, he met a young boy named Yahiko who had the same experience. The two of them huddled together for warmth and continued to survive in this troubled time.

"Is it time to eat?"

Xiaonan, who couldn't hold on any longer, put the rain-soaked sesame cake to his mouth and took a light bite. He found that although it was still hard, it was much softer than before. He immediately started to tear it into small bites.

"Bata~bata~"

As the dry sesame cake entered her stomach, tears welled up in Xiaonan's eyes again, dripping onto the sesame cake, which tasted salty and bitter.
"I want to eat cake."

Today is Xiaonan's birthday. If it were before the war, her parents would prepare a sweet and delicious cake for her.
But now, she could only hide behind the broken wall and eat the moldy sesame cakes with difficulty.

"If God really exists, please give me delicious food!"

Xiaonan, hiding behind the wall, looked up at the dark sky. He closed his eyes, placed his hands on his chest, and prayed devoutly in his heart.

After a while, she opened her eyes. The moldy pancake in front of her did not change at all. Her expectant face suddenly became dull. She picked up the pancake covered with small teeth marks again. Xiaonan opened her mouth and
"thump!"

Xiaonan stopped what he was saying and blinked in confusion. The sound came from the other side of the wall.

However, the cautious Xiaonan did not speak immediately. He crouched in the corner and waited for a long time. After making sure that he did not hear any other sounds, he mustered up the courage to stick his head out.

"Huh? Why is there a curly-haired one?"

Xiaonan covered her mouth and looked at the man lying on the ground. Her eyes were attracted by the rare curly hair. As far as she could remember, she had never seen such a fluffy hairstyle in the Rain Country.

After all, there is abundant rainfall here all year round, the air humidity is high, and it is difficult to maintain a fluffy hairstyle.

"So soft!"

After observing for a long time, there was no movement of the curly-haired animal lying on the ground. Xiaonan approached cautiously and poked the fluffy curly-haired animal with his fingers. At this moment, he looked curious and innocent, like a normal child.

"Is this guy a ninja?"

Since Uchiha Gin's job position is relatively leisurely, he does not usually wear a ninja uniform. He just wears a loose kimono to work. The wide sleeves are suitable for hiding snacks, but when Xiaonan saw the black wooden sword on his waist, his expression suddenly became nervous.

"But he should be dead, right?"

The man's chest was not moving. Xiaonan put his hands on his mouth and nose, but could not feel any breath, so he concluded that Uchiha Gin was dead.
After looking up and down at the clothes that she was considering, the girl gritted her teeth and stretched out her sinful little hand.

"You're already dead anyway, so I can exchange these clothes for some food, right? I'll just consider it as your birthday present to me!"

Just as the boneless little hands were groping up and down Uchiha Gin's body, the man who had crossed a long timeline finally woke up from his coma.

"Well"

Feeling someone was touching him in the dim light, Uchiha Gin snorted and then raised his eyelids with difficulty.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a terrified little face, pale and thin, but definitely a beauty or a top-notch little girl.

"you"

“Ahhhh! He’s resurrected! Gah~”

Uchiha Gin was about to ask when the little girl who had her hands on his belt suddenly let out a very shrill scream, then her eyes rolled back and she fell straight into his arms, fainting.

"Haha, he is indeed the most handsome man in Konoha. His killing power is simply invincible, and he can kill people of all ages~"

Feeling the almost nonexistent weight of the girl, Uchiha Gin shamelessly boasted about himself, but as soon as he stood up, his brows furrowed.

"No, why are my attributes gray?"

Looking at his gray attribute panel, Uchiha Gin tried to refine the chakra and found that it flowed in his meridians at a speed as slow as a snail, as if he had just met it.

Then, he tried to open his Sharingan, but after waiting for a long time with his eyes wide open, there was no change at all.

"Is the bloodline gone?"

"The system backpack is also locked? Phew~ Fortunately, the storage scroll can still be opened."

After briefly summarizing his current situation, Uchiha Gin came to a conclusion.
"I became a mediocre jonin?"

With Uchiha Gin's current panel, at best he is a high-level cannon fodder at the level of a jonin, but fortunately he still has some ability to save his life so he doesn't have to change maps and start from scratch.

"What are you doing here? Is this another timeline?"

Picking up the unconscious little girl in a princess hug, Uchiha Gin looked around curiously. Looking at the familiar sky, he roughly knew where he was now.

"Didn't I just leave? Why was I sent here again?"

The knight war initiated by Uchiha Gin was held in the Rain Country, but as soon as he left, he was thrown back by the system.

"Well"

Just as Uchiha Gin was discussing the system, the unconscious little girl in his arms slowly woke up.
"So warm, am I dreaming?"

Wrapped in the warm atmosphere, Xiaonan was reluctant to open her eyes. This kind of home-like warmth only appeared in dreams.

"Congratulations, you guessed wrong."

Suddenly, a slightly lazy voice sounded in Xiaonan's ears, which scared her so much that she started to jump. She opened her eyes wide and found in horror that she was actually held in the arms of the man who had just resurrected.

"Am I dead too?"

"Congratulations, you got two questions wrong in a row. There is a gift for you~"

"Gah~"

Uchiha Gin chuckled and shook his head, but he never expected the little girl to faint again.
"Are the children in this timeline so poor in quality?"

Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows in confusion, and after a careful inspection, he found that the girl in his arms was in a very bad condition.

The malnutrition caused by long-term hunger made the girl, who was still in the growth stage, extremely weak. She also had a little neurasthenia, so it was no wonder that she fainted one after another.

"Hey, hey, it turns out you're just starving~" (End of this chapter)
