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

Soon, not only the precious chicken butt that had just been painfully given away, but also most of the roast chicken in Uchiha Gin's hand was gone into the stomach of the white-robed older woman in front of him.
"Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."

Seeing the other person's hearty way of devouring pills like a starving ghost, Uchiha Gin couldn't bear it and advised him,
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh at the lack of material conditions in Ryuji Cave, seeing how hungry the snake was.

No wonder Manda always asks Orochimaru for exorbitant appearance fees; it turns out it's all to supplement his family's income.

"Give it to me, hand over all the roast chicken!"

The white-robed mature woman, still savoring the moment, touched her flat stomach, greedily licked the remaining grease from her lips, and a predatory glint appeared in her narrow, beautiful eyes as she looked at Uchiha Gin.

She had just had a long nap and her stomach was already rumbling with hunger.

Although Sage Chakra can achieve the effect of fasting, it cannot satisfy the desires of the taste buds. As a snake, she simply cannot resist a delicious roast chicken.

"That won't do. I'll give the rest to the White Snake Immortal as a gift."

Faced with the white-robed older woman's pleading gaze, Uchiha Gin cruelly waved his hand, hiding the storage scroll behind his back.
"You've come at a really bad time. The White Snake Immortal is currently in seclusion."

The white-robed older woman, who already knew Uchiha Gin's intentions through the chakra of the Holy Land, clicked her tongue, her eyes darting around, and began to spout nonsense.
"Seclusion? When will it end?"

Uchiha Gin frowned. Was the timing really that bad?

"It'll probably be another hundred or two hundred years."

With her gaze fixed on the storage scroll in Uchiha Gin's hand, the white-robed woman lied without batting an eye.
"So who's in charge of Ryuchi Cave now?"

I can't just come here for nothing, can I?

"Cough cough cough, of course it is me, your humble servant."

Seeing that Uchiha Gin had finally gotten to the point, the white-robed woman forcibly averted her gaze from the roast chicken, cleared her throat a few times, and solemnly introduced herself.
"My name is Su Shen Zhen Ji, the first disciple of the White Snake Immortal, and the senior sister of the White Snake Sect of Longdi Cave."

"I am Uchiha Gin, an ordinary-looking guy."

Seeing the blinding headlights flashing as the other person introduced themselves with their back straight, Uchiha Gin nodded in approval.
It is indeed big enough.

"If you have any requests, you can tell me."

After revealing her identity, the white-robed woman winked and gave Uchiha Gin a meaningful look, her true intentions becoming increasingly clear.
Um, you don't need to give me that look.

Uchiha Gin, his face full of black lines, looked at the waterfall of drool at the other's mouth and handed over the scroll full of roast chicken.

"yeah!"

She snatched the scroll, and with a swift rip, the large scroll was instantly destroyed, and golden, glistening roasted chickens fell down amidst thick white smoke.
"Uh huh"

Happiness came so suddenly that the impatient white-robed older sister, with both hands, began to devour chickens in front of Uchiha Gin, her fair cheeks puffing out roundly.

"She's a real food vlogger."

Seeing the white-robed lady eating so heartily, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for her talent. His newly established media company in the Land of Waves was in dire need of such outstanding individuals.

"Your name is Su Shen Zhen Ji, right? Are you interested in following me?"

"what?"

The white-robed woman, who was fighting with the roast chicken, paused upon hearing this, seemingly not having heard clearly, and then picked at her ear.

"what did you just say?"

Has this human gone mad?
She didn't even fancy the Sage of Six Paths back then.

I said, do you have it?

"Da da da!!!"

Just as Uchiha Gin was about to launch another sincere recruitment drive, several figures drawn by the scent arrived, their hurried footsteps interrupting their conversation.
"The flavor is right here!"

First to be affected was Princess Tashin, followed closely by Princess Ichikishima and Princess Takitsu, who were both drooling.
"Where is where?"

"Why are you all here? Well, since you're here, let's eat together."

Uchiha Gin greeted Ichigo, whom he considered an acquaintance, warmly.

Anyway, feeding one chicken is the same as feeding four chickens. We'll definitely have to deal with Ryuchi Cave a lot in the future, so let's just consider these roast chickens as a way to make a good connection.

"Okay, okay~"

The snakes were so engrossed in the delicious food that they didn't notice the white-robed lady feasting beneath the stone seat. By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.

"The White Snake is so big!"

Seeing the white-robed older woman behind Uchiha Gin engrossed in eating, the voice of the Three Goddesses became somewhat distorted.
"Oh?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the white-robed woman slowly raised her head, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light, conveying a message that only the snake could understand.
"Senior Sister!" *3
Uchiha Gin glanced at the white-robed mature woman with chubby cheeks, then at the three goddesses who had suddenly stood at attention, and nodded in agreement.

It seems this gluttonous snake wasn't lying to me; her identity as the acting head of Yongji-dong is now confirmed.

Is the White Snake playing a role-playing game again?

The three goddesses, however, had a different thought in mind. The White Snake Sage's temper was always unpredictable, and he often acted erratically.

Hopefully, a fight won't break out.

At this moment, the three snakes only hoped that the White Snake Sage wouldn't clash with Uchiha Gin; they certainly didn't want to face an overpowered monster.

The perfect ending for them was for everyone to chat casually and part ways amicably.

"You should sit down and eat too."

Glancing at the three goddesses with complicated expressions, the white-robed elder sister generously pushed her leftover chicken bones in front of the snakes.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Xie."

The three snakes, not daring to object, could only tearfully suck their bones; the scene was truly heartbreaking to witness and bring tears to anyone who heard it.

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Gin almost shed tears, despite his tough exterior.

Sure enough, the conditions in Ryūchi-dō were beyond tense.

How could he not lend a helping hand to a girl in such a predicament?
"Think about it. Even if it's not for yourself, think about the snakes in Ryuchi Cave."

"Uh?"

"As long as you sign a contract with me, I guarantee that all the snakes and their offspring in Ryuchi Cave will have roast chicken for every meal."

Looking at the white-robed older woman who was tilting her head and blinking with a questioning expression, Uchiha Gin said sincerely,

"Ha!" *3
Before the white-robed mature woman could even react, the three goddesses who were slurping chicken bones exploded.
This human clearly has ulterior motives. He claims to be here to make friends, but in reality, he just wants the White Snake's body.

"No!" Princess Tianxin shouted, a chicken fork bone dangling from her mouth, but her act of loyalty only earned her a cold glare from the white-robed lady.

"Shut up! Do you even have the right to speak here?"

"You want to sign a contract with me?"

The white-robed woman turned around, looked at the serious-looking Uchiha Gin, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of her lips.

The human who dared to say that to me last time has already become fertilizer for Ryuchi Cave.
How dare they covet her power?

The white-robed, mature woman, written as Su Shen Zhen Ji but read as the White Snake Immortal, began to narrow her serpentine pupils—a sign that the snakes were preparing to attack.
"That's right, you have a great foundation. With just a little packaging, you can become a top-tier food vlogger."

"what?"

"Don't worry, all the contracts we sign are legally binding. Not only is there a guaranteed base salary, but there's also a share of the sales revenue. Once you become a top streamer, you'll be able to sell hundreds of roast chickens in no time."

Thinking the white-robed older woman was worried about being scammed, Uchiha Gin immediately patted his chest and assured her, leaving her completely stunned, even forgetting to swallow the chicken butt in her mouth.

"You signed a contract with me not for power, but to make me become that kind of mukbang streamer?"

After a long pause, the white-robed woman swallowed the greasy chicken butt in her mouth and asked in a puzzled tone,

"Power? These days, talking about power is so vulgar; making money is the right way."

When you have rice in your hand, Kun will come over to you.

"The job of a mukbang streamer is actually very simple. I will write the script. Once you have a certain level of popularity, you can also bring these girls into your team and form a situational mukbang group. We can all make money together."

Uchiha Gin glanced at the three goddesses greedily slurping up chicken cartilage, and had already mentally planned out the future development of the white-robed mature woman.
Given her hearty eating habits and exaggerated appetite, we decided to have her follow the traditional rural mukbang route and give her a down-to-earth stage name.

Imagine a stunningly beautiful, tall, and aloof woman, dressed in a brightly colored overcoat, sitting cross-legged on a heated brick bed, gobbling down a roast chicken knuckle while exclaiming, "So stylish, family! It smells amazing!"
Who wouldn't be confused by these mukbang videos?

"You really are a strange human being."

Through her senses, the white-robed woman realized that Uchiha Gin wasn't lying, and a hint of curiosity appeared on her face.
This human being harbored no dark greed, only a yearning to earn rice.

"Since you're so sincere, I'll sign one with you~ However..."

The white-robed woman narrowed her eyes slightly, as if considering something, and a slight smile played at the corners of her lips.
"How long are you prepared to sign a contract with me?"

The contract that Uchiha Gin mentioned was different from the summoning contract of Ryuchi Cave; it was a separate contract between the two of them, one human and one beast.

"The longer the better, of course."

He was extremely sincere and determined to win over this promising streamer.
"Then I will stay with you until the day I die."

Human life is fleeting, and the White Snake Immortal has witnessed countless births, aging, sickness, and deaths of Renlongdi Cave Contractors. Therefore, he generously chose a time that sounds long but is actually very short.

"You said it yourself, don't regret it!"

Is there such a good thing?

"I always keep my word."

Soon, Uchiha Gin handed the written contract to the white-robed older woman. She glanced at it briefly, signed her name, and casually dripped a drop of blood emanating a strong aura of Sage Chakra.
Uchiha Gin also managed to squeeze out a drop of blood with an excessively high sugar content. When the two drops of blood fused together, it signified that the contract was in effect.

"Contract established. Congratulations, Miss Zhenji, on your successful onboarding."

Unexpectedly, helping Jiraiya with his studies led to the addition of another livestreaming expert to his team, finally giving Orochimaru's mother some relief from her workload.

"Who are you exactly?"

After signing the contract, the white-robed woman suddenly frowned, and for the first time, a faint look of shock appeared in her usually calm eyes.

Because the contract between the two was of a higher level than the summoning beast contract, they were able to draw upon each other's power to a certain extent.

Even though it was very blurry, the white-robed older woman could still vaguely sense the terrifying power hidden beneath Uchiha Gin's ordinariness. This kind of power, far exceeding that of ordinary people, could not possibly remain unknown in the ninja world.
"Me? Just a ninja for fun~"

Uchiha Gin also sensed the power of the white-robed woman before him, but he didn't take it to heart. He didn't need to borrow her power anyway; his initial intention in signing the contract was simply to make money.
Having said that, to celebrate their pleasant collaboration, Uchiha Gin extended a hand of friendship to the other party.
"Yeah."

The white-robed woman took a deep look at the Six Paths Mark on the Uchiha's silver palm, and a guess began to form in her mind.
The Sage of Six Paths' proxy?
Had I finally been drawn into this damned fate?
She sighed softly to herself and slowly extended her delicate, white hand.
"Bridge Bean Sacks!"

Just as their hands were about to clasp together, Uchiha Gin's expression suddenly changed.
"What, you regret it?"

Go wash your hands first!

Even if you are a future top anchor and the cash cow of Wave Country Media Co., Ltd., you cannot tarnish my innocence with your greasy little hands.

"."

"Now that we are strategic partners, I'll be frank with you."

Reluctantly releasing the white-robed, mature woman's cool, delicate hand, Uchiha Gin finally returned to the main topic.

"I came here today because I have a small matter to discuss with the White Snake Immortal, but since he is in seclusion, it's the same as telling you."

"Oh?"

The white-robed mature woman, contentedly patting her rounded belly, produced a slender pipe from somewhere, leisurely lit it, and her languid gaze held a questioning look.

"See that white-haired brat? I'd like him to study here for a while and see if he's a good fit for your Ryuchi Cave's power system."

Gin Uchiha made enough dumplings to entertain the entire Hidden Leaf Village just to appease Jiraiya.

"Phew, that stupid-looking brat, hehe."

Gently exhaling a wisp of smoke carrying a strange fragrance, the white-robed woman merely glanced at Jiraiya, a faint hint of mockery appearing on her face.

If this brat were to enter Ryuchi Cave alone, he probably wouldn't even get to see the Three Goddesses' trial before being swallowed up by Orochimaru, who was just strolling by the roadside.

"Just consider it a favor, and I will definitely repay you handsomely afterward."

"I can only guarantee that this brat won't die here, that's all."

A glint flashed in the white-robed woman's eyes. After a moment, she nodded slightly. It was unclear whether she was moved by Uchiha Gin's promise of a generous reward, or for some other reason.
"That's enough. This kid is tough and resilient. You can train him without worry."

As long as he has a breath left, he can pull Jiraiya back from the gates of the Pure Land.

"What if he's really not suitable?"

"That's alright, we can only blame this kid for being unlucky and having a short life."

Gin Uchiha was quite optimistic. As the saying goes, if one door closes, another opens. If Jiraiya truly couldn't adapt to Ryuchi Cave's system, then they would have to follow the original story.
"He was originally sent here as an exchange student. If things don't work out, we'll just send him back to Mount Myōboku."

"Human, you just mentioned Mount Myōboku, right?" (End of Chapter)
