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

The welcome party that was supposed to be held for Jiraiya and his companion was temporarily postponed due to the absence of one of the main characters. Kato and his two companions, who had received autographs from their idols, could only leave with regretful but satisfied expressions.

"Orochimaru, what are your plans next?"

Seeing Orochimaru engrossed in examining his phone, Uchiha Gin kindly inquired,
"I want to go home and visit my father and mother first."

Orochimaru raised his head, a faint worry in his eyes. He hadn't been home for half a year, and he wondered how his parents were doing, whether they were depressed because they missed him so much.
"Um, your parents must be pretty busy lately."

Uchiha Gin's expression turned strange upon hearing this; he knew Orochimaru's parents fairly well.

Especially Snake Mom, who works as a live-streaming e-commerce host at Wave Country Media Co., Ltd., which is under his management. He had also heard a little about their recent activities.

"Did they go to the border?"

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's expression tightened, and an ominous premonition instantly enveloped his heart, lingering for a long time.

With war raging right now, and given his parents' less-than-stellar abilities and weak background, they are highly likely to be drafted by the village as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

"No, they're busy with other important life events. You'll find out when you get home."

Sensing Orochimaru's worries, Gin Uchiha preemptively prepared him.

"Yin San San, Lord Shen Su, I shall take my leave now."

Still somewhat uneasy, Orochimaru nodded to Gin and Uchiha, then vanished around the corner in a flash.

"Phew~ I hope this kid won't get too excited when he gets home."

Recalling the sight of the heavily pregnant Snake Mother he had bumped into on the street a few days ago, Uchiha Gin stroked his chin with a sigh.
It seems to be a girl.

"Hey~ Are you guys having a team-building activity here too?"

Once all the young men had left, Uchiha Gin's gaze naturally fell upon the few remaining little ones.

"Hello, Grandpa Gin!"

Rope Tree was the first to raise his little hand, looking like a brimming with energy and a bit of a wild child.

"Your cheeks have gotten even rounder in just a few days. Grandpa will treat you to braised pig's head next time."

"Great!"

"Greetings, Grandpa Yin."

The Hyuga brothers exchanged a glance, hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to step forward and politely bow.
The two brothers were actually conflicted. On one hand, their grandfather taught them to get along well with Uchiha Gin, but on the other hand, their father strictly forbade them from speaking to Curly.
"Give my regards to your grandfather, and ask him if he has time to take a bath together recently."

Gin Uchiha reached out and stroked the Hyuga brothers' long, straight, smooth black hair, his eyes filled with envy. He then pulled out two lollipops and stuffed them into their hands.
"Thank you, Grandpa Silver."

The two brothers who received the candy bowed politely.
"Pretending."

Upon seeing this, Fugaku Uchiha pouted.
"Young Master Fugaku, this won't do!"

Standing beside him, Mikoto's face immediately hardened upon hearing Fugaku's sarcastic tone.
"How could you say that to such polite people like that?"

"Mikoto, no, that's not what I meant."

Being favored makes him fearless; Fugaku fears nothing except Mikoto's puffed-up cheeks.
"Ignore you."

"Mikoto! My sister just returned my allowance to me, I'll treat you to some sweet drinks."

Just then, Rope Tree, whose waist pouch was bulging, stepped forward, clutching a few crumpled banknotes in his hand, and said with great gusto,

"Napaki-kun is such a good person!"

"Let us do it, as a memento of our friendship."

Seeing that Nawaki was about to steal the spotlight, Hiashi's sense of crisis grew. He casually pulled his younger brother forward, blocking Nawaki's path, his eyes darting around as he tried to find a suitable reason to treat Nawaki to a meal.

"You bunch of bastards, get away from Misaka!"

"Tsk tsk tsk~ Kids these days are so precocious. My little cousins ​​are still playing ninja house at this age."

A small battleground, but a great deal of joy. Uchiha Gin watched the complicated relationships among the children with great interest, sighing that times were changing, puppy love was happening earlier, and the future birth rate was promising.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. I'll pay for today's expenses."

In the end, it was Uchiha Gin who stepped in and quelled this chaotic battle. The little ones, completely satisfied, hugged their favorite sweet drink and gulped it down.

"Jeong-hee, let's go."

After saying goodbye to the little ones, Uchiha Gin turned to look at Sujin Zhenji, who was holding a ton of tuna and whose cheeks were filled with some unknown liquid.

"Gulp~ I'll do whatever you say, Gin."

Since Su Shen Zhen Ji started her live streaming journey, she has been appearing on the platform more frequently.
On one hand, it was to learn live-streaming skills and, incidentally, to bring some snacks for the snake minions of Ryuchi Cave; on the other hand, it was to observe the interesting human, Uchiha Gin, up close.
"If you feel tired lately, you can have Mikami Hime broadcast in your place so you can get some rest."

The two walked side by side down the street. Uchiha Gin turned his head and looked at the somewhat absent-minded Su Shen Zhen Ji, mistakenly thinking it was because she had been streaming for too long lately, so he very considerately said...

Su Shen Zhen Ji is a highly sought-after streamer at his media company, receiving an astronomical amount of tips every day, contributing significantly to the GDP of the Wave Kingdom.

He couldn't risk killing the goose that lays the golden eggs for a momentary gain.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Su Shen Zhen Ji blinked in confusion. What was this human talking about? How could this immortal be tired? Believe me, I could fight you for three hundred rounds without even breaking a sweat!

"No, I slept for so long, I'm still feeling great!"

After gulping down the small bottle of sweet water in a few gulps, Su Shen Zhen Ji shook her head and threw it into a trash can on the street.

"It's good that you're alright. I'll buy you some souvenirs later to give to the Three Goddesses as gifts when we get back, as a thank you for taking care of Orochimaru."

Upon first meeting Orochimaru, Gin Uchiha could sense a faint, natural energy emanating from him without even activating his enhanced sensory abilities.
Putting aside Naruto's overpowered abilities, Orochimaru's talent in refining natural energy in just six months is evident.
Of course, talent is important, but connections are also essential. His success is largely due to the special care of the Three Goddesses. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been turned into a snake in the Dragon Cave by the violent natural energy.

"He was sent by you, so we at Ryūchi-dō will naturally do our best for him."

Su Shen Zhen Ji tilted her head, a smile on her face, and said, "Although I don't have Gamamaru's precognitive dreams, as the primordial serpent, I possess senses far sharper than other creatures."
She could sense a mysterious aura about Uchiha Gin that didn't belong to this planet. Making connections with such a human would be entirely beneficial to the development of Ryuchi Cave.

"Thanks. By the way, a large number of new users should be joining Kuaishou and Douyin soon. I'll need you to put together more programs for them then."

Currently, this brand-new electronic product, the mobile phone, is only sold in the Land of Waves, the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and some neutral small countries.

As for the vast territory encompassing the three kingdoms of Lei, Tu, and Shui, import and export trade was temporarily suspended due to the war.
However, judging from the current trend, the war will only last a month or two. Once trade is reopened, mobile phone sales will definitely skyrocket.
The surge in mobile phone users means that the number of Kuaishou and Douyin users is about to experience explosive growth. He must seize this opportunity and rake in a huge amount of foreign coins.

"I hope that white-haired guy will be helpful and not interfere with my making money."

Uchiha Gin pinned his hopes for ending the war on Senju Hisana, who had just left. With the addition of her super combat power, victory for Konoha was just around the corner.

"Gintoki!"

Just as Uchiha Gin was dreaming of becoming the richest man in the ninja world, a surprised voice rang out behind him. Hearing the incredibly familiar and charming female voice, he turned around with a smile and greeted her.

"Mito, when did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

"I'm here on official business, so my schedule is a bit rushed."

Mito Uzumaki, dressed in a white, fitted long robe, smiled slightly.
While answering her old flame's question, her beautiful, watery eyes, seemingly unintentionally but actually deliberately, fell on Uchiha Gin's side.
Seeing the brown-haired, snake-faced woman behaving intimately with her man, Mito Uzumaki felt a deep sense of crisis.

"Gintoki, who is this younger sister?"

younger sister?

"Forehead"

Uchiha Gin cautiously turned his head to glance at Su Shen Zhen Ji beside him, and seeing that she was not annoyed by the address, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

That's true. Women like to be called "little sister." If Mito had said "big sister," the woman and the snake would probably have started fighting by now.

"Let me introduce you. This is our company's star anchor, stage name Wei Zhenzi, real name Su Shen Zhen Ji."

With a clear conscience, Uchiha Gin naturally began introducing Sae-hime.
"Anchor?"

Upon hearing the introduction, a look of realization flashed in Mito's eyes. So, he was an employee.

Wei Han's expression immediately softened; she believed that the upright Uchiha Gin would never engage in any underhanded dealings.
"Yin, who is she?"

As Mito Uzumaki sized herself up, Sogami Saeki was also squinting at the red-haired woman bursting with vitality before her.

Sensing the terrifying energy contained within the other woman's voluptuous body, she subconsciously licked her lips, her fangs hidden in her mouth gleaming with a chilling light.

This woman looks delicious.

"She is my girlfriend of many years, but we are both focused on our careers and have no plans to get married for the time being."

Even with his lifelong ally, Uchiha Gin made no attempt to hide his secret relationship with Mito.

"Oh, I see."

Another mating partner.

Su Shen Zhen Ji nodded knowingly. As a beast, she was not averse to this polygamous lifestyle.

As the saying goes, the strong prey on the weak. In her view, a human as strong as Uchiha Gin could have as many mates as he wanted.

She had met both Uchiha Hikari and Uchiha Eimi, who were stationed in Konoha, and had also learned about their second identities from Uchiha Gin. Adding Uzumaki Mito now, that makes only three.

"Yin, if you're not feeling well, I can help you."

Despite his formidable strength, Uchiha Gin only had three spouses, which inevitably made Sujin Sadahime question his lower body prowess.
"what?"

“We have a secret medicine in Ryūchi Cave. After taking it, you will become as indestructible as my venomous fangs.”

Out of concern, Sujin Zhenji earnestly recommended her family's miraculous medicine to Uchiha Gin.

"Uh... what do you take me for?! I don't need you!"

After a brief moment of bewilderment, Uchiha Gin gradually understood the deeper meaning behind Sujin Sadahime's previous words from her serious expression. He immediately straightened his back in anger and arrogantly declared...
"Do you believe I can lift your true form up?"

Sujin Zhenji, who was seriously considering the suggestion, moved her scrutinizing gaze downwards until she found her target, at which point she nodded thoughtfully.

"I don't mind, I can give it a try when I have time."

"."

No, I was just joking, are you serious, sis?
Having no way to deal with Sujin Saeki, Uchiha Gin could only laugh it off and then quickly turned to Mito to change the subject.

"Mito, what important business have you come here on this trip?"

"The Hidden Mist Village is finished."

"what?"

"The Third Mizukage is dead, and Kirigakure is in complete chaos. It's the perfect opportunity to strike while the enemy is down."

Mito Uzumaki spoke with a smile about a terrifying topic. Gin Uchiha noticed the domineering aura in her eyes and then remembered that she was the hidden identity of the Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools.

Over the years, the Land of Water and the Land of Whirlpools have been openly and covertly vying for the position of maritime supremacy.
Despite having the technological support of the Land of Waves, the Land of Whirlpools was, after all, a newly rising small nation, far less established than the Land of Water, which had been cultivated for hundreds of years.
Even though Uzugakure repeatedly defeated Kirigakure at sea, the Daimyo of the Land of Water continued to provide substantial financial and logistical support, solely to maintain Kirigakure's position among the Five Great Nations and prevent them from losing face in front of the other Daimyo.
Unfortunately, Kirigakure was still hopeless; the only one who could hold his own, the Third Mizukage, passed away tragically from injuries.
Gui was ultimately too slow; he passed away before he could fully resolve the internal conflicts of the village, leaving behind a mess.
The day after his death, before even the memorial service had ended, the impatient bloodline families rose up in rebellion, each fighting their own battles for control of the village.
Among them, the Yuki clan, who inherited the will of three Mizukage, were the first to be purged by the other bloodline clans, suffering countless deaths and injuries, and soon withdrew from the competition.

Among the remaining bloodline families, the Kaguya clan, the Hozuki clan, and the newly risen Karatachi clan fought their way through the ranks to reach the final round, all for the sake of vying for control of this village, which was already ravaged by war.
Mito Uzumaki would naturally not let this golden opportunity slip by. With just a slight move, Uzugakure could plunge Kirigakure into utter ruin, avenging the oppression they suffered in the past.
"I support attacking Kirigakure, but have you thought about the follow-up work after destroying Kirigakure?"

Looking at the eager Mito Uzumaki, Gin Uchiha had a different opinion: Is it more interesting to make money from fighting?

Even if you destroy one Hidden Mist Village, the Daimyo of the Land of Water will simply create a new one. Sacrificing short-term gains will not only fail to bring other benefits but will also create a long-term enemy.

"So, Gintoki, what do you mean?"

"Would you be interested in supporting a Mizukage? The kind where the Daimyo of the Land of Water helps you level up your account." (End of Chapter)
