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

Mt. Myoki?
When Uchiha Gin uttered the words "Mount Myōboku," the white-robed woman's eyes instantly turned dangerous.

"Since you have already signed a contract with Mount Myōboku, why do you still need to humiliate me?"

Judging from Uchiha Gin's tone, he had already made contact with that bunch of stinky toads before coming here. Doesn't that mean I've become a backup option?

Suddenly, she felt a sour taste in her mouth, like she had eaten unripe fruit, and the fragrant roast chicken in her hand suddenly tasted bland.
"How could that be? I don't want to get involved with that cunning toad. It's like the glue between gentlemen, which is even less than water."

"Huh huh huh~"

Upon hearing this, the white-robed woman wrinkled her nose, stepped forward, and sniffed Uchiha Gin closely. She indeed couldn't smell the stench of those stinky toads, and her previously tense expression instantly relaxed.
"You have good taste."

Feeling the cold, supple body rubbing against him, Uchiha Gin nodded with a saintly expression.
"Then I'll have to trouble you all to take care of things, Jeong-hee."

Given that the white-robed woman before him was not truly human, Uchiha Gin forgave her abrupt overstepping of boundaries.
After explaining Jiraiya's situation, he needed to go back and explain the whereabouts of her two teammates to Tsunade. He stood up, nodded to the white-robed older sister and the three goddesses sitting upright, then raised his hand and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to disappear from the spot.

"Lord White Snake, you..."

Seeing that Uchiha Gin had really left, the Three Goddesses finally mustered up their courage and stepped forward to greet him, their doubts evident in their expressions.
"The White Snake Immortal is in seclusion."

With a quick glance at the three goddesses seated below, the white-robed elder sister's voice was full of threat.
"I am your senior sister."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The three goddesses dared not utter a word, each nodding vigorously.

"You guys are in charge of training that brat. Don't let those stinking toads laugh at us."

"Senior Sister, where are you going?"

"Do I need to report to you where I go?"

The white-robed, mature woman's narrow, beautiful eyes instantly transformed into serpentine ones, and the aura she exuded terrified the three goddesses, who immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Having said that, Su Shen Zhen Ji closed her eyes, sensing the faint connection between herself and Uchiha Yin, a slight smile playing on her rosy lips.

"This contract is convenient. It seems like it was hundreds of years ago when I last went out. I wonder what the human world is like now."

"The eldest senior sister wouldn't be going to..."

Seeing the white-robed mature woman suddenly raise her hand to form a hand seal, the Three Goddesses' eyes widened instantly, and they exclaimed inwardly, "Holy crap!"
That's because they're familiar with it; it's a reverse spiritual technique.

"Bang~"

As expected, with a puff of white smoke rising, the sacred land of Ryūchi-dong temporarily lost its master.

Konoha,

It was still the training ground, but now only Tsunade remained, all alone.
Why haven't Grandpa Yin and the others returned yet?

Tsunade, sitting atop the wooden stake with her face pouting, had her pink lips almost reaching the sky.
"Hmph! They won't even let me play!"

"Da~"

Just as Tsunade was angrily criticizing the biased Uchiha Gin, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of her.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

After landing, Uchiha Gin waved apologetically to Tsunade, who had been waiting for a long time. He had spent quite a bit of time on this trip, and it was almost time for dinner.

"Huh? Where are the other two?"

Tsunade, who had just leaped down from the wooden stake, looked around in confusion, but couldn't find her teammates.

The trials at the Sage's Sanctuary are not something that can be completed in a short time; Jiraiya and Orochimaru will likely have to stay there for some time.
"They both need to undergo closed training for a period of time. I will be responsible for informing their families."

Fortunately, he was quite familiar with the two boys' parents, so the two boys wouldn't end up on tomorrow's missing person posters.
"what about me?"

Just as Uchiha Gin was pondering how to explain to the two's parents, Tsunade, her lips pouting even higher, asked with a wronged expression,

"what?"

"We're all in the same team, so why are you excluding them? I don't care, Grandpa Gintoki is biased!"

Feeling increasingly aggrieved, Tsunade began to throw a tantrum on the ground, much to Gin Uchiha's annoyance.
Helpless, Gin Uchiha scratched his head and began to recall the skills Tsunade currently lacked.
Get strange power,

Medical ninjutsu acquired.

Learning Yin Seal
As for other standard skills, her mentor Hiruzen Sarutobi will take care of that.

It seems like I have nothing left to teach.

"What do you want to learn?"

Since he couldn't figure it out, Gin Uchiha had no choice but to throw the question back to Tsunade and let her think about it herself.
"Grandpa Yin, do you have any, you know, the kind that's extremely exquisite?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade was delighted. Her large, watery eyes darted around, and she mysteriously moved closer to Uchiha Gin, whispering in his ear what she had heard.

"Oh, okay~ I understand."

Looking down at the golden light emanating from Tsunade's eyes and the familiar shaking motion in her hands, Uchiha Gin suddenly realized...
No wonder she's Hashirama's granddaughter from the prison; they share the same interests and hobbies.

"really?"

Tsunade's face was full of anticipation. Uchiha Gin nodded slightly and took out a dusty manual from his backpack.

"I won't charge you for this manual; I just hope you won't let its reputation go to waste."

Tsunade took the manual with a puzzled look, her pupils slightly contracting.
"This is."

The God of Gamblers' Self-Cultivation

"Could this be the legendary..."

"That's right, this is the life experience of the mysterious gambling god who once dominated the ninja world."

Seeing Tsunade's face flushed with excitement and her body trembling uncontrollably, Uchiha Gin immediately smiled and nodded in reply.

Plop! —

Tsunade, who was holding the secret manual, suddenly knelt down, her small face filled with gratitude.

"Grandpa Yin, you're even closer to me than my own grandfather!"

"Look at what you're saying, aren't you afraid your grandpa will get jealous if he finds out?"

Reaching out to help Tsunade up, Gin Uchiha feigned anger and scolded her.
"Well"

Looking at Uchiha Gin with such doting eyes, Tsunade frowned and pondered for a moment before suddenly speaking.

"Grandpa Yin, why don't you and my grandma live together?"

"puff!"

"Cough cough cough, don't say things like that in the future."

Worried that someone might be eavesdropping, Uchiha Gin coughed a few times, scratching his head with a slight toothache.
If someone with ulterior motives were to overhear this, especially that petty-minded white-haired guy, the misunderstanding would be huge.

"Ok."

Tsunade pouted, her disappointment clearly visible on her face.

If Grandpa Yin becomes my new grandfather, wouldn't I have an endless supply of gold bricks? Then I could forge a set of pure gold gambling equipment, dominate the gambling world, and revive my reputation as the God of Gamblers.

"Phew, she's this difficult to deal with now, what will she be like when she gets bigger?" Having finally managed to coax Tsunade away, Uchiha Gin wiped the sweat from his brow and prepared to make a house call.
As soon as he turned his head, his expression froze on his face.
Not far behind, leaning against a large tree, stood a beautiful figure dressed in a white robe.

"Wow~ I didn't expect you to be so patient with cubs."

Holding a slender pipe, Sujin Zhenji's eyes were slightly narrowed, but the mockery in them was quite clear.

"Why are you following me?"

Having just shooed the younger one away, the older one arrived. Feeling a headache coming on, Uchiha Gin immediately rubbed his throbbing temples.

"As a partner, can't I come?"

After gently sipping her cigarette, Su Shen Zhen Ji exhaled a puff of smoke carrying a refreshing aroma and asked in return,
"How could that be? I would naturally welcome you with open arms if you could come, Jeong-hime."

The snake demon before them possessed profound cultivation and was adept at concealing its aura; ordinary people would find it impossible to discern its true form. Therefore, Uchiha Gin was not worried that she would cause any trouble.
"Aren't you going to show me around and do me the proper hospitality?"

Since the Konoha training grounds are located on the edge of the village, there are not many people around. The curious Su Shen Zhen Ji immediately suggested taking her to see the bustling area.

"Hold on."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin did not refuse. He first raised his hand and created a shadow clone, ordering him to go and let Jiraiya and the other's parents know they were safe.

After settling in, he bowed slightly to the expectant white-robed woman, extending his right hand in a gesture of invitation.

"dozo~!"

Despite the increasingly tense situation at the border, the residents of Konoha showed little sign of anxiety. They ate and drank as usual, living a very comfortable and prosperous life.
The commercial street was bustling with people as usual. It was dinnertime, and people were coming and going in droves to find food.
"Oh~ Oh? Oh!"

The white-robed older woman following closely behind Uchiha Gin kept exclaiming in surprise, looking like a country bumpkin who had just arrived in the city.

"Human beings have developed so quickly."

She vaguely remembered that when she last came to the human world, humans lived a very primitive life, some farming and some hunting, unlike now where they had such diverse lifestyles.

"My man, I want to eat this."

Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to a display case outside a shop on the street, and her long legs instantly stopped moving.

"Just call me Ah Yin."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin shook his head, correcting the other person's form of address, and then looked in the direction Sadahime was pointing.

It was a dessert shop selling candied hawthorn skewers, specializing in various fruit versions. Zhenji's gaze was fixed on a skewer made from strawberries.

"Boss, give me a skewer of these."

As the host, Uchiha Gin would naturally grant the white-robed mature woman's reasonable request.

"Wow~ It tastes different from tree fruit."

After receiving the strawberry candied hawthorn, the woman in the white robe tentatively licked it with her delicate, white tongue. The sweet taste that lingered on her taste buds surprised her.
"Oh, and give me a bunch of these oranges too."

As he was about to pay, Uchiha Gin caught sight of a bright yellow candied hawthorn skewer next to him, so he took out extra money to buy it and casually tossed it into the Shadow Realm.

"Human, is that another dimension?"

While Zhenji was happily sucking on a candied hawthorn, she keenly sensed unfamiliar spatial fluctuations and quickly located the closing entrance to the Shadow Realm.
"You know about these little tricks for self-preservation. We humans are different from you; we are very fragile creatures."

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I'll make sure you live to a ripe old age."

"Haha, thank you so much!"

Next, Uchiha Gin, with his new partner, toured all the streets and alleys of Konoha.

When the business owners saw Uchiha Gin shopping with another beautiful stranger, they all showed gossipy expressions and started whispering among themselves.
"Look, Uchiha Gin has brought another beautiful woman from somewhere."

"Tsk, as expected of Konoha's Silver Wolf, he never kidnaps ugly women, and when he does, he always comes out with a trump card."

"That woman looks unfamiliar, should we call the police?"

Do you think the security forces would dare to interfere with him?

"Alas~ the poor beauty, deceived by that beast who preyed on her and her mother. Does Konoha have no light of justice?"

These people were all stunned by Zhenji's fairy-like appearance, and kept making sarcastic remarks, speculating about Uchiha Gin with the utmost malice.

As someone capable of hearing the movements of the entire ninja world, Sae-hime twitched her ears, taking in every barely perceptible sound around her.

"You seem to have quite a lot of prestige, don't you?"

After tidying herself up, she blinked and casually poked the dark-skinned face of Uchiha Gin beside her, completely unaware of the intimacy in her action.
Uchiha Gin didn't find anything wrong with it; in his eyes, the alluring white-robed woman was nothing more than a pleasing snake.

These landlords, however, dared to speak ill of him behind his back. Konoha's number one landlord decided to use his own methods to make these gossipy fellows pay a heavy price.
Damn it, rent increase! Rent must be increased!

snort!
I'll restore the light of justice, and I'll make sure you lose everything by the end of the year!

Just as Uchiha Gin was calculating how many times he would have to increase the rent, a clear, cold voice carrying a chilling undertone rang in his ear.

"Ah Yin, is this your excuse for skipping work all day and not coming home for dinner?"

Sensing the undisguised anger of the voice's owner, Uchiha Gin stiffly turned his head.

"Xiao Guang, let me explain."

Behind him stood a black-haired girl with a gloomy face, her black eyes flashing with a dangerous light. Dark energy surged around her, her light and dark personalities intertwined, and the chilling aura she exuded made Uchiha Gin's teeth ache.
"I saw everything, what else do you have to say?"

Witnessing the intimate interaction between the unfamiliar white-robed mature woman and Uchiha Gin, Uchiha Hikaru felt as if the entire Forest of Death was above him, so vast that it could accommodate a tailed beast roaming freely.
Sujin Zhenji watched the sudden appearance of Uchiha Hikaru with great interest, a hint of mischievousness in her eyes. She feigned confusion and shook Uchiha Gin's arm in a rather suggestive gesture.

"Yin, who is she? You never told me you had a family here."

"Stop messing around, this could kill someone."

Uchiha Gin was immediately at his wit's end.
"Original body, sigh... what can I say to you, Xiao Guang? Believe me, although I am an avatar, I am still an independent individual. All the actions of the original body have nothing to do with me."

Watching the two become even more intimate, the other "Uchiha Gin" standing next to Uchiha Hikaru wore a heartbroken expression, shaking his head as if to sever ties.

It was Black Slave Number One, sent to work by Uchiha Gin.
He had just finished a long day of work and was about to leave when he bumped into Uchiha Hikaru, who had come to visit the set on a whim. The moment they met, Hikaru easily saw through his disguise.
In order to save his life, he chose to betray his original self, revealing his evil deeds of enslaving his clones to take over his duties, and becoming a sycophantic guide.

"You bastard! I clearly shared all my treasured snacks with you, and you still betrayed me!"

Looking at the despicable face of his shadow clone, Uchiha Gin secretly vowed that all future shadow clones would have to undergo a political review before they could be put into service.
"Hmph~ So what if it's a treasured item? I'm not afraid to tell you, I ate your entire box of treasured items!"

The shadow clone chuckled coldly. With Uchiha Hikaru backing him up, he was now fearless.

Uchiha Gin was trembling with anger; he couldn't bear to eat that box of treasured sweets.
"You still stole food? You deserve to die!"

"So what if I sneak a bite? I just love sneaking bites, hehe~"

"There's nothing for you to do here."

"what?"

The shadow clone, who had just been smug, widened its eyes in disbelief upon hearing the cold voice behind it, its pale lips trembling slightly.

"You have no sense of honor among the underworld; you're discarding them after they've served their purpose."

Bang! ——

"Whoo~"

Uchiha Hikaru, who had sent his shadow clone to its death with a single punch, blew on his fist, a mocking sneer appearing on his fair face, and slowly uttered a rather profound statement.
"This is what happens when you steal food." (End of Chapter)
