Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.
Chapter 617 Uchiha Gin: I Have a Friend
Uchiha Gin-zaku
Backyard training ground
Two figures moved swiftly across the arena, their movements punctuated by several muffled thuds of fists striking flesh.
As the battle intensified, one of the shorter figures clearly began to tire, his steps becoming unsteady.
Uh-huh! ~
The tall figure opposite seized the opportunity, flashed forward, and threw a regular straight punch.
Seeing the iron fist hurtling straight at his face, the short figure raised his aching arm and swung it forward, while desperately closing his bloodshot eyes and beginning to pray silently in his heart.
I hope my face is okay; I'm going on a date with Mikoto in Honey Ice City later.
"Boom~"
A dull thud that made your teeth ache reached my ears, but the expected sharp thud didn't come.
With his eyes closed, Fugaku Uchiha felt as if his punch had landed on soft cotton. He then opened his eyes in confusion.
"Pfft!"
The opponent, who had just been in a dominant position, was now clutching his abdomen and kneeling on one knee.
"Uncle?"
"So they're attacking my lower body? Damn it, I've lost this time."
Gin Uchiha, his face pale, coughed violently a few times, then looked at Fugaku, who was still in a punching stance, with a look of "surprise" and his eyes full of sighs.
"Cough cough cough, as expected of the next Uchiha clan head, your moves are unpredictable and ever-changing, making them impossible to defend against. Uncle, I'd call you the strongest in preschool!"
Unable to think of any honor, Uchiha Gin, clutching his stomach, stammered for a second before bestowing upon his nephew the most fitting title.
"I actually beat my cousin?"
Fugaku Uchiha was stunned by the sudden victory. Although his great-uncle was old, he was still a Jonin-level ninja.
How could someone like Karami, who hadn't even graduated from the ninja academy, actually defeat his opponent in a head-on confrontation?
"Am I now invincible?"
Looking down at his small, white fist, a very dangerous thought popped into Fugaku Uchiha's mind: he felt that he was now terrifyingly strong.
"Host failed. Gained 40 Healing Energy. Heart Steel Treasure Chest reward unlocked. (Current total Healing Energy: 130)"
On the other side, Uchiha Gin, after receiving the belated message from the system, quickly stood up from the ground, brushed the dust off his clothes, and his expression returned to its usual lazy state.
Painting steel is no easy task; it all depends on acting skills.
"That's right, you are now invincible. From now on, the task of punishing evil and maintaining peace in the ninja world will be entrusted to you."
Uchiha Gin, who speaks in plain language from the very beginning, shows no remorse for lying to children.
Anyway, Fugaku's nephew didn't seem very bright to begin with, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a brainless move as sacrificing his entire clan.
"Are you done sparring? Wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
At that moment, Uchiha Hikaru, dressed in indigo loungewear, came out from the back door. Seeing that the two had stopped fighting, he spoke up to remind them...
Blinded by victory, Fugaku's ego swelled to an unbearable degree.
"Aunt Guang! I challenge you!"
Looking at the seemingly harmless but actually the strongest person in the clan that his father had mentioned, he fearlessly handed over his challenge.
"what?"
Uchiha Hikaru blinked in confusion. Had Fugaku bumped his head?
"Ah Yin... uh?"
Confused, she turned to look at another person in the room, only to find Uchiha Gin winking at her, signaling that they should stop short of fighting.
"Alright, I accept your challenge, but I'm telling you beforehand, if you lose, you'll have to eat all the green peppers later."
"Hmph~ From now on, Konoha is my home ground!"
"Waaaah, green peppers are so bitter~"
At the dining table, Hikaru Uchiha, who was serving Gin Uchiha rice, looked helplessly at Fugaku, who, despite his bruised and swollen face, was still forcing himself to swallow the green pepper as agreed, and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear,
"A-Gin, Fugaku is still your nephew. How can you treat him like this without any conscience?"
"I didn't do it, how dare you, the one who started it, turn around and accuse me?"
Taking a full bowl of rice, Uchiha Gin secretly sprinkled sugar he had hidden between his fingers onto the rice when the others weren't looking. After doing this, he asked in a serious tone,
Senju Itama, who had been observing everything, didn't wait for Uchiha Gin to inhale the mouthful of rice in a whirlwind. He snatched the rice sprinkled with sugar and swapped it with Fugaku's bowl of rice covered in green peppers.
"Fugaku, you eat this bowl."
"Are you even human?"
Seeing that his elaborate scheme had been exposed, Uchiha Gin, under the dangerous gazes of the two women, had no choice but to swallow his pride and reluctantly start eating the green pepper rice bowl in front of him.
After dinner,
"Uncle, Elder Shana instructed me to give this to you. I have an appointment, so I'll take my leave now."
Fearing he would be tricked by Gin Uchiha again, Fugaku left a scroll and took his leave, covering his swollen face as he went home to seek comfort from Mikoto.
"Ah Yin, what's in here?"
Uchiha Hikaru curiously approached, her large, blinking eyes full of inquiry.
"It's normal that you don't know since you haven't been to the clan recently."
Looking at the character "豚" (pig) on the scroll, Uchiha Gin nodded with a look of realization, then turned and tossed the scroll to Senju Itama in the kitchen.
"Next, the finest pork head meat."
"Is this the premium pork from the clan's pig farm?"
Senju Itama, who was slightly better informed, caught the scroll, tore it open, and glanced at it, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity.
"Yes, these are the first batch of finished pigs ready for market. It seems the pig farm is starting to get on track."
Uchiha Gin nodded, explaining to the two puzzled women,
"Didn't you and Uchiha Setsuna not get along? Why would he send you such good pork head meat for no reason?"
Nowadays, the price of premium pork head meat has skyrocketed, making it unaffordable for most people. Yet, Uchiha Setsuna spent thousands of pounds of it, which clearly defies common sense.
"Who said my relationship with Setsuna is bad? I'm the technical advisor for our Uchiha pig farm."
"Huh?"*2
"You even know how to raise pigs?"
Senju Itama looked as if he'd seen a ghost, scrutinizing Uchiha Gin's listless expression from head to toe, his face full of doubt.
"How could I raise you to be so plump and healthy if I don't know anything about pig farming?"
Boom!
Before the words were even finished, Uchiha Gin was sent flying by the girl's shyly powerful fist. After tracing a perfect arc in the air, he crashed heavily into the wooden wall.
"No Road Race!"
After completing this series of smooth and skillful actions, a humiliated and indignant Senju Itama returned to the kitchen with a scroll full of pig's head meat in his pocket and continued working. "Sigh~ Why did you have to provoke her if you had nothing better to do?"
Uchiha Hikaru, seemingly accustomed to this scene, shook his head and sighed as he pried Uchiha Gin out of the wall.
"Pah, pah, pah~ This brat's strength has increased again."
With a mouthful of sawdust, Uchiha Gin stuck out his tongue, clutched his still-recovering chin, and said with terrified eyes,
It seems I'll have to be more careful with my words next time. Senju Itama, whom I once manipulated, has grown to the point where he can break through my defenses.
"I'm also curious, when did you start raising pigs?"
"I don't know how to raise pigs, but I know how to breed them."
"Ok?"
Word
Uchiha Hikaru's eyes narrowed, making Uchiha Gin's hair stand on end.
"Don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant."
"I only taught her a few tips on how to improve quality, increase efficiency, and reduce costs."
Fearing being pulled into the Tsukuyomi by the girl and subjected to extreme humiliation, Uchiha Gin hurriedly recounted every detail of how he had instructed the pig farm workers.
About two months ago, the Uchiha clan's pig farm officially opened with Hiruzen Sarutobi in attendance at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Without Danzo as their pillar, Shimura's pig farm could only watch helplessly from the sidelines, but they weren't worried.
The Uchiha clan had only recently entered the pig farming industry; how could they compare to the Shimura clan, who had been immersed in animal husbandry for many years? Some Shimura members even started betting odds, wagering on when the Uchiha pig farm would go bankrupt.
As expected, Uchiha Setsuna, who had no experience in animal husbandry, faced one challenge after another after her initial excitement, the most pressing of which was the breeding of pigs.
Although the pig farm is fully equipped, it has only 3000 strong breeding pigs and not a single sow.
This greatly troubled Uchiha Setsuna. Fortunately, at this time, a merchant claiming to be a pig-raising tycoon from the Land of Waves approached him, offering to provide high-quality, unmarried free-range sows free of charge.
As the saying goes, what's free is often the most expensive. He didn't want money; he only wanted a 30% stake in the Uchiha pig farm as a return.
Uchiha Setsuna naturally refused to agree to these harsh conditions. He stated that the pig farm was a family business of the Uchiha clan and must be 100% owned by the Uchiha.
After unsuccessful negotiations, the merchant from the Land of Waves compromised, demanding the breeding rights of the boars and half of the piglets bred.
This condition was still within Uchiha Setsuna's acceptable range, and the two hit it off immediately, quickly signing a contract.
A few days later, thousands of sows in estrus were transported to the Uchiha pig farm, much to Setsuna's delight.
Just when he was expecting the sows to successfully conceive and the pig farm to be overflowing with pigs, reality dealt him a cruel blow.
For some unknown reason, the breeding pigs he had carefully nurtured suddenly became incredibly weak and listless, like wilted eggplants, at the crucial moment of mating.
This greatly worried Uchiha Setsuna; the feed consumed daily by the thousands of pigs at the pig farm was an astronomical figure.
If they don't breed soon, he'll have no choice but to painfully slaughter the breeding pigs, resorting to short-sighted methods to solve his immediate problem.
Of course, this isn't really his fault for poor care, nor is it the fault of the breeding pigs for not performing well.
This is entirely because the seller tampered with the pigs during the initial transfer.
Who is Xiao Tuantuan?
The most petty ninja in Konoha, a dual-bloodline ninja with the skills of scapegoating and scheming.
He was wary of everyone except Misae, including his childhood friend Hiruzen Sarutobi, with whom he was practically inseparable.
The breeding pigs he compensated the other party were all subjected to psychological manipulation by professional genjutsu ninjas during the breeding process.
Unless they have the special methods of the Shimura clan to remove them, every single one of these breeding boars is a eunuch who only knows how to talk nonsense.
Having obtained these breeding pigs, Hiruzen Sarutobi was certainly unable to shake off this subtle psychological suggestion, and in the end, he could only sell them as meat pigs, or buy them back to the Shimura clan at an extremely low price.
No matter how shrewd Uchiha Setsuna was, he couldn't have predicted that someone would use psychological suggestion on a pig.
Faced with the predicament of unsuitable breeding pigs, he dared not complain to the seller, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and could only keep this to himself, waiting to settle the score later.
Just when they were at their wits' end, Uchiha Ryōza, who came to inspect the pig farm, inadvertently mentioned the name of Uchiha Gin, the renowned gynecologist.
Clinging to a last glimmer of hope, Uchiha Setsuna, carrying eggs, found Uchiha Gin and humbly begged him for help.
He promised that as long as the breeding problem of the pigs could be solved, he would have more pig head meat than he could eat in his lifetime.
After learning the details, Uchiha Gin immediately accepted the job.
Of course, he did this for the greater good of his family, not because he was greedy for the endless pig's head meat.
As the saying goes, experts see the details, while laymen only see the spectacle. Uchiha Gin personally visited the pig farm and, after inspecting the area, quickly discovered the source of the disease in the breeding pigs.
"Who's so bored as to cast illusions on a pig?"
Now that the problem was identified, the solution was much simpler. He simply had Uchiha Setsuna summon a group of clansmen skilled in genjutsu to serve as livestock handlers, assigning each of them over a hundred breeding boars.
Among them, Uchiha Setsuna, in order to take the lead, volunteered to be the herdsman of 500 breeding boars, winning applause from the surrounding clansmen.
As expected of the Grand Elder, he dared to be a pioneer, which is truly a great blessing for the Uchiha clan!
However, before Uchiha Setsuna could deliver his deeply moving and humble speech, Uchiha Gin preemptively proposed a treatment plan for the breeding pig.
The clansmen who serve as herdsmen must live and eat with these breeding boars, spending their days and nights with them. Their daily task is to use their Sharingan to correct the boars' psychological problems.
This psychological disorder is medically known as neurogenic erectile dysfunction.
Commonly known as impotence.
Upon hearing this order, all the clansmen, including Uchiha Setsuna, turned green with shock. Some radicals even drew their swords, ready to take the curly-haired man down with them.
Fortunately, after becoming the Grand Elder, Uchiha Setsuna broadened his perspective considerably and intervened to quell the clan's unrest.
Of course, this is also closely related to his recent experience of frequently repairing tanks.
So what if he's sharing a room with a fat pig? He's used to it. And this time, it won't hurt his kidneys, just his eyes.
With Uchiha Setsuna taking the lead, the other clansmen had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
After several days of treatment, Uchiha Setsuna was astonished to discover that the studs, who had undergone the Sharingan psychological therapy, had actually begun to pick up guns, each displaying remarkable prowess.
Seeing this, they all worked overtime, squatting in the pigsty, their bloodshot eyes fixed on the ground, without stopping for a moment.
During this period, Gin Uchiha provided precise guidance several times, reducing the waste of the zookeeper's eye power and greatly improving the speed of treatment.
In less than a week, all of the thousands of sows were successfully pregnant. Uchiha Setsuna and the others, crawling out of the pigsty, wept with joy.
Looking at the newborn piglets, they even felt that they were their own flesh and blood. They worked through the night to make a large seal with the Uchiha clan emblem and stamped the clan's mark on each piglet.
"It's just a pity that it grows a little slowly."
Uchiha Setsuna looked at the crying piglets with a sorrowful expression, and sighed regretfully.
Pigs typically take five to six months to reach market weight, and pig farms need to wait another six months or so to make a profit.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin, who was providing technical guidance, tensed up. He had put in a lot of effort to come up with ideas, but he had to wait half a year for his reward. That wouldn't do!
"It's not that we can't speed it up."
If you want to get pigs to market quickly, Gin Uchiha has quite a few shady methods.
"Professor Yin, do you have a good remedy?"
Recognizing Uchiha Gin's technical abilities, Uchiha Setsuna temporarily set aside their past grievances and humbly sought his guidance.
"I have a friend who has a secret medicine that can accelerate biological growth and shorten the cultivation cycle, but the price is..."
Seeing the sincerity on Setsuna's face, Uchiha Gin nodded and used the "Creation from Nothing" technique to invent a complete stranger he had never met.
"I'll buy it! I have the money!"
Uchiha Setsuna decided to gamble his entire life, even at the cost of his kidneys, all for the sake of his clan's prosperity and strength.
Haki, have you reached this level yet?
"give it to me!"
As if infected by the fleeting brilliance of humanity emanating from Uchiha, Uchiha Gin's expression turned serious, and he spoke with absolute certainty.
“I will definitely persuade that friend to sell you his secret medicine.”
He patted his chest to assure Uchiha Setsuna while pondering the proportions of the miraculous medicine.
"Phew, considering how thoughtful Setsuna was, I'll squeeze a few more drops of Hero's Water into the water this time~" (End of Chapter)
