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

A noodle stall in a small town.
In front of Uchiha Gin was a bowl of steaming noodles. The bland soup base and a few unknown vegetable leaves made him lose his appetite.

“Huff, huff, huff!!!”

On the contrary, Xiaonan, who was sitting opposite him, stuffed his purple little head into the bowl of noodles, chewing loudly.
Soon, she finished the big bowl of noodles. She licked her lips with satisfaction. Xiaonan looked at Uchiha Gin with a hint of desire in her eyes.
"that."

Uchiha Gin nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and pushed the noodles in front of him, "Take it and eat it."

"Many thanks!"

Xiaonan took the bowl of noodles which was bigger than his head, and began to slurp them up without caring about the burning sensation in his mouth. The slightly yellow noodles disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Looking at Xiaonan who had turned into a hamster-cheeked girl with great interest, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but sigh that girls change a lot when they grow up. How did the thin and shriveled little girl become the charming White Tiger of Akatsuki in the future?

Wait, there seems to be a real case.

Isn't that brat Senju Itama
"Hiccup~"

Just as Uchiha Gin was trying his best to dispel the shocking big J in his memory, a familiar burp interrupted his thoughts.

"I am full?"

"Ah."

Xiaonan licked the bowl, put down his chopsticks angrily, nodded obediently, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
"Why? You're welcome. Just order more if you want."

Uchiha Gin is not a stingy person. His stinginess is targeted.

"Um. Can I pack a bowl?"

Konan lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, his voice was as low as a mosquito. Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows after hearing it.
"There will be tomorrow, too."

"No, I wanted to bring a bowl for Yahiko as well."

Xiaonan pursed her lips and said a name that surprised Uchiha Gin a little.
Unexpectedly, Xiaonan has already met the future rice king. Uchiha Gin's eyes flashed with thought.

"Is there anyone else?"

"No more, no more."

Worried that Uchiha Gin would think he had too many burdens, Xiaonan shook his head repeatedly.

It seems that my eldest cousin’s eye replacement has not appeared yet, but looking at Xiaonan’s age, it should be a matter of the next two years.

“Don’t pack it.”

"Okay."

After hearing what Uchiha Gin said, Xiaonan, who was full of expectations, quickly became depressed and hung his head, like an eggplant hit by frost.

That’s right, she has already eaten two bowls of noodles, how can she ask for anything else.

"Noodles will clump together if you pack them back home. Let's buy some food that is easy to store."

"what?"

Xiaonan raised his head in surprise, and a light gradually appeared in his dull eyes.

"Let's go, what are you standing there for?"

"Come on!"

"Boss, money for noodles."

Uchiha Gin stood up and threw a gold nugget the size of a soybean to the flattering noodle stall owner.

After the boss received it, he picked it up in disbelief and tried to bite it. When he found that he could bite it, he looked around quickly. When he found that no one noticed, he immediately stuffed the gold bean into his crotch.

“Welcome to visit next time~”

Since Uchiha Gin had no habit of carrying currency with him, and he didn't know if he could spend the antique money of his time, he divided a gold brick into small pieces for his consumption over the next few days.

Walking on the main road of the town, Xiaonan, who was following behind Uchiha Gin, looked at the tall figure in front of him and felt an inexplicable sense of security in his heart.

This was the first time that Xiaonan walked on this street with her head held high. Before that, she could only hide in the dark corners on both sides like a rat in the sewer, looking at the passers-by with envy.

"How should I call you?"

Biting her lip, Xiaonan recalled what Uchiha Gin said when he held an umbrella for her, and a blush appeared on her face.
If the other party really asked her to call him dad, would she do it or not?
Is it more polite to call father "Sir"? But calling him dad seems more intimate.

How about daddy?

Xiaonan remembered that there was a street in the town that was hung with red lanterns, and the mature women standing on both sides of the street all called older men this way.

"Me."

Uchiha Gin, who was walking in front, had no idea what Konan, who had become a bubble teapot, was thinking about. He touched his chin as if thinking.
"Just call me Gin-san."

He thought Xiaonan was asking for his name, and Uchiha Gin, who didn't want to reveal his identity, simply reported a word.

"Dad! Gin-san~"

Xiaonan, who was feeling dizzy, opened his mouth subconsciously, but as soon as he uttered one word, his brain suddenly became clear and he quickly braked so as not to drive the car into the kindergarten.

"What did you just call me?"

Uchiha Gin stopped and turned his head in confusion. Seeing this, Xiaonan immediately turned his head away.
"nothing!"

Soon, Uchiha Gin took Xiaonan to purchase a large amount of supplies, enough for the two children to survive for a long time.

After putting these bits and pieces into the storage scroll, Uchiha Gin raised his head and saw Xiaonan's hopeful eyes.
"You want to learn?"

Fiddling with the storage scroll in his hand, Uchiha Gin's mouth curled up slightly.
"Gin-san is willing to teach me?"

Xiaonan blinked, then came closer excitedly, with her little face almost touching Uchiha Gin's thigh.

"It's not easy to be a ninja. You have to be mentally prepared."

Uchiha Gin naturally knew what Xiaonan was thinking, so he straightened his face and spoke in a very serious tone.

"Please, teach me ninjutsu!"

After taking a few steps back, Xiaonan fell to his knees, his little head hitting the brown mud.

"Very good! Very energetic!"

This was the effect Uchiha Gin wanted. He stepped forward to help Xiaonan up and wiped the mud off his forehead, looking like he had a long way to go.

"I will definitely train you to be an excellent female ninja."

"please!"

Xiaonan's face turned serious and he nodded heavily.

After the two of them left the town, Xiaonan led the way. After turning left and right in the jungle for a long time, a very hidden cave appeared in front of Uchiha Gin.
The cold wind blew in this narrow cave, and the water drops from above hit the wet and muddy ground, gathering into puddles of various sizes.
Deep in the cave, there were two tattered blankets, but they looked more like sacks for cargo than blankets. It was hard to imagine how the two children could fall asleep on such a cold day.

Apart from that, there was only a broken oil lamp, the faint flame flickering in the darkness.

"Is Yahiko not back yet?"

Xiaonan walked around with the oil lamp, but did not see his companions. However, he saw the marks left by them, so they should be safe.
So he turned around and made an invitation gesture to Uchiha Gin.

"Welcome to my home."

"Do you usually live here?"

Frowning and looking at him, Uchiha Gin said in an inexplicable tone,

"This secret base was discovered by Yahiko. Before that, we all slept under other people's roofs."

Pretending to be calm, Xiaonan nodded, then sat on the sack blanket on the ground, hugged his knees with his hands and leaned his face on them, as if he was recalling something.
"At least we won't be chased away, and dogs won't bite us."

"call"

Uchiha Gin felt a pain in his heart when he heard this. We old 2D people can't stand this kind of plot.
Uchiha Gin walked slowly to the girl with a gloomy face and squatted down. Xiaonan raised her head in confusion, her bright eyes revealing confusion about the future.

"From today on, I will be your teacher."

"Yes! Gin-san-san!"

After a brief moment of confusion, Xiaonan's face broke into a sincere smile, as pure as an angel.

Although many of Uchiha Gin's abilities were temporarily restricted after he traveled to this timeline, fortunately the knowledge in his head was still there.

The system determines whether Uchiha Gin has learned paper ninjutsu, which is definitely based on the premise that his mentor Konan knows paper ninjutsu. In this case, he can first teach Konan this secret technique, and then learn it by himself to meet the task conditions.

Just do it.

Uchiha Gin sat cross-legged in front of Konan, glanced at the dim lights, and made a Tiger Seal, a universal Fire Style, with one hand.
"Fire Release·Ghost Lantern!"

As the chakras in the meridians circulated, dazzling fireballs ignited in the cave.

"Ah! Don't eat me!"

Looking at the ferocious evil ghost fireball, Xiaonan crouched in fear with his head in his hands.
"Um, sorry, I'll change my look now."

Touching his head, Uchiha Yin felt that the shape of these ghost lanterns was too 18x and could easily cause damage to the mental health of children, so he closed his eyes and imagined another shape in his mind.

"Is it okay now?"

Looking at the transformed ghost lantern, Uchiha Gin nodded with satisfaction. When Xiaonan heard this, he raised his head tremblingly, and the fear on his face gradually dissipated.

"It's a puppy!"

Q-version Shiba Inu heads floated in the air, illuminating the cave and emitting bursts of warmth. Xiaonan, feeling the coldness in his body being dispelled, smiled widely.

"This is a ninjutsu. Isn't it convenient?"

"I want to learn!"

Xiaonan, with stars in her eyes, put her little face in front of Uchiha Gin and looked at him expectantly.

"Don't try to do everything in one go. Everything should be done step by step."

Uchiha Gin shook his head and pointed a finger at Xiaonan.
"Sit cross-legged and I will tell you what chakra is."

Xiaonan immediately sat up straight and pricked up his ears to listen.

"There are 130 trillion cells in the human body. The spiritual energy and physical energy generated by these cells are mixed together evenly, and the power generated is called chakra."

As he spoke, a faint blue light appeared on Uchiha Gin's fingertips.
"This is Chakra."

"so beautiful."

Faintly staring at the blue chakra light, Xiaonan's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Any ninjutsu requires chakra as support, so if you want to become a regular ninja, you must first refine chakra."

Thinking of a certain melon-haired kid with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Uchiha Gin slightly modified his definition of a ninja.

"Refining chakra?" Xiaonan, who knew nothing about the way of ninja, blinked in confusion.

"Generally speaking, if you want to refine chakra, you must first be familiar with the meridians in the body, but now our conditions are limited, so let's keep everything simple."

The countdown in his mind continued. Uchiha Gin didn't want to waste three days teaching Xiaonan how to refine chakra.
"Hand out."

"Yes!"

Looking at Xiaonan's dry and slender little hands, Uchiha Gin gently touched his fingers on the palm of her hand, and a stream of warm chakra slowly injected into the girl's body.

"Ah~"

As the unfamiliar chakra entered her body, Xiaonan felt an itch all over her body, and a warm current spread throughout her body. The slight stimulation made her scream out.
Then came a very comfortable and warm feeling, which made Xiaonan want to sleep, and his eyelids began to fight each other.

"Cheer up and remember the direction in which this energy is flowing."

"Hi!"

Xiaonan was shocked when he heard this, and began to carefully record the path that Uchiha Gin's chakra had taken.
After a while, Uchiha Gin withdrew his hand.
"Did you remember? If not, try again."

"Do you remember?"

Feeling the warmth disappearing from his body, Xiaonan was about to answer reluctantly, but when he heard the second half of Uchiha Gin's words, his eyes rolled and he showed a confused expression.

"It's so difficult that you can't do anything about it."

Shaking his head, Uchiha Gin reached out his hand again.
Only people from wealthy families would use this kind of fool-proof enlightenment tutorial, while ordinary families could only rely on their own understanding.

This immediately widened the class gap. Most people would never be able to go to Rome in their lifetime, while some people were born in the Colosseum.

After going through dozens of hands-on tutorials from Uchiha Gin, the "dull-witted" Konan finally learned how to refine chakra.

"Huh~ You are the worst among all the disciples I have ever taught."

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Uchiha Gin had a look of disappointment. Xiaonan stuck out her tongue, not as disappointed as expected, but curiously asked,

"Does Yin Sansan have other disciples?"

"Well, there are a few useless disciples who are not worth mentioning."

"Can you introduce me to him?"

"Ah, this. You two will meet each other if you are destined to do so."

Looking at Xiaonan who was looking expectant, Uchiha Gin turned his head with an inexplicable tone. It would be better not to see her. The little Tuantuan in this timeline is not a good person.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Now that you have learned how to refine chakra, let's move on to the next step of training."

"So fast?"

Konan, who had just extracted a little bit of chakra, looked up in surprise. Did he sign up for some kind of ninja crash course?

"I am San San, and I am best at teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. As for the other messy things, someone will naturally teach you in the future."

He waved his hand towards Konan. Anyway, Jiraiya would help her lay the foundation in the future. He only needed to teach her the housekeeping skills.
After that, Uchiha Gin took out a stack of white paper from the backpack behind him.
"I see that you have an extraordinary figure and are a good candidate for learning origami. Do you want to become the legendary origami warrior?"

"what?"

For the next day, Uchiha Gin accompanied Konan to play origami in the cave. The requirement for entry into the secret art of paper ninjutsu is to be able to fold paper well.

"Yin San San! Do you think the little puppy I folded is cute?"

"Cute, cute~"

"Yin San San, my paper crane"

"Sell it to the Japanese~"

"Silver Sansan, mine."

"Okay, okay~"

Uchiha Gin nodded perfunctorily to Xiaonan's surprised voice until the other party came to him excitedly holding an exquisite paper dragon, which made him perk up a little.

"You have quite a deft hand~"

Looking at the paper dragon with bared fangs and claws, Uchiha Gin's eyes showed a hint of admiration. When Xiaonan saw it, a bright smile instantly broke out on his face.

"Very good, next is the most crucial step, making it move."

Pointing at the paper dragon, Uchiha Gin gave Xiaonan a strange order.

"This is impossible. How can paper move?"

Xiaonan shook his head repeatedly at this harsh order.

"Chakra is a magical power. It can do whatever you want. Just imagine yourself as a piece of paper."

"I'm a piece of paper? Why don't you say I'm mentally retarded?"

After spending a day with Uchiha Gin, Xiaonan gradually relaxed a lot. When facing her teacher, she wanted to roll her eyes to the sky.

"A child cannot be taught!"

Uchiha Gin pointed at Konan with anger. If the system hadn't banned his bloodline and secret techniques, he would have shown this girl what real skills were.

"It seems like I haven't folded enough. Go fold all of these for me!"

It turns out that you still need to practice!

She took out the pre-purchased paper from her backpack, about 10,000 to 20,000 sheets, and placed them in front of Xiaonan. Looking at the white paper that was taller than her, she turned her head tremblingly.
“Are all these folded?”

"It's good enough that I didn't ask you to fold 6000 billion tickets. Why don't you go now!"

As the saying goes, a strict teacher produces excellent students. Uchiha Gin decided to be strict with Konan, otherwise he might stay in this place forever.

At night, Uchiha Gin was taking a nap in the cave, while Xiaonan was still working hard on folding paper.
"I'll break your pig's head!"

Skillfully folding the white paper into the shape of a pig's head, Xiaonan glared angrily at Uchiha Gin who was lying behind him.
"Hey~"

As a result, Uchiha Gin suddenly opened his eyes, which frightened Xiaonan so much that the pig head in his hand instantly broke into two halves.
"somebody is coming."

"Da da da"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of light footsteps came from the cave entrance. When Xiaonan heard the familiar voice, his eyes immediately lit up.

"It's Yahiko!"

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a kid with an orange hedgehog head came in carrying a few pieces of burnt bread.

After seeing Xiaonan, he showed a happy expression on his face and held up the failed product he picked up from the bakery kitchen.
"Xiao Nan, look what I found!"

"Yahiko!"

Xiaonan stood up excitedly. Yahiko was her only relative in this world.
Um. Now there are only two.

Just as the two delighted people were about to say something, Yahiko discovered Uchiha Gin lying on the ground and yawning. Anyone would be frightened to see such a big stranger appear in their secret base.

"who are you?"

Yahiko quickly protected Konan behind him and reached to his waist, where a shiny piece of iron was hidden. It was his important life-saving tool.

"Yahiko! No, he's my teacher!"

Seeing the cold light on Yahiko's waist, Konan turned pale with fright. In desperation, she grabbed the other's hand and subconsciously squeezed it hard.

"what!"

The huge force coming from his wrist made Yahiko scream. When Konan heard it, she quickly let go of his hand.

"I did not do it on purpose."

Yahiko's wrist was bruised, as if it had been hit by a hard object. Konan lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Huh~ Xiaonan, when did you become so strong?"

Instead of blaming his sister Konan, Yahiko gritted his teeth and rubbed his wrist. Fortunately, it was just a little red and swollen, and the bone was not broken.

"This is the power of chakra. You must master it well and not let it confuse your mind."

Uchiha Gin sat up straight. He didn't expect that after Konan learned how to refine chakra, his physical condition improved so quickly. In just one day, he possessed strength far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Uncle, who are you?"

Yahiko looked at Uchiha Gin warily, and Konan tugged at his clothes from behind.
"Yahiko, Gin San San is a good man. Not only did he save me and treat me to a meal, he also taught me ninjutsu."

Konan briefly recounted the story of her encounter with Uchiha Gin in Yahiko's ear.
The two of them chatted for a long time. After understanding the whole story, Yahiko walked up to Uchiha Gin and bowed to him with gratitude.
"Thank you for saving Xiaonan!"

Uchiha Yin resisted the urge to rub Pain's head angrily and shook his head gently.
"I just did what every man would do."

"Wow!"

Hearing this, Yahiko's eyes sparkled with admiration. Such manly and heroic words, he is truly a great hero!

"Mr. Gin! Please teach me ninjutsu too!"

Without hesitation, Yahiko, who was convinced by Uchiha Gin's words, immediately knelt down and kowtowed his head.

"Stop, stop, stop! Aren't you afraid that I might have other intentions?"

Raising his hand to stop Yahiko from self-harming, Uchiha Gin stroked his chin with interest and asked a soul-searching question,

"Huh? What do we have that's worth your attention?"

Yahiko looked around. All their assets were here. If Uchiha Gin wanted them, he could take them.

"For orphans like us who live from hand to mouth, it's a luxury to be alive to see tomorrow's rain."

Looking at Yahiko's frank eyes, Uchiha Gin nodded slightly in approval.
He is worthy of being the No. 1 of the first generation group and the suit man of the second generation group. He is indeed a great figure.

"Okay, anyway, teaching one is teaching, and teaching two is also teaching."

Uchiha Gin did not reject Yahiko's request, but his time was limited, and how much the other party could learn depended on his own understanding.

"Thank you Yinxian. Sansan!"

"Hand. Forget it, go wash your hands first."

He was ready to follow suit and give a fool-proof tutorial, but when he saw Yahiko's dirty hands, Uchiha Gin shook his head in disdain.
"Okay, I'll only teach you once. How much you can remember depends on your ability."

Uchiha Gin was not as concerned about the free Yahiko as Konan. After all, he was somewhat of a face control and did not like effeminate boys.

“Ah~Ah~Ah! Ah! Ah!!!”

But Uchiha Gin was quite surprised that Yahiko, who was so young, could make a sound like a wild beast.

"Little boy, you are very talented. I have a black tea recipe here. Do you want to learn it? It will be fun~" (End of this chapter)
