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

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh hmm hmm~"

Having removed her inner armor, Fubuki blushed deeply at the strange, soft moans coming from nearby.

To prevent her older sister from becoming a drooling, eye-rolling little female pig, she didn't hesitate at all and delivered a classic dogeza (bowing gesture) directly to the strange-looking Uchiha Gin.
“Private Marseille!”

Beep!

The sincerity was palpable. Uchiha Gin, while staring intently with his deadpan eyes, secretly began ranking them in his mind.
As the saying goes, the new waves of the Yangtze River push the old waves forward.

After a fierce competition, Otsutsuki Hikari, who had held the top spot for many years, was unfortunately defeated, giving the championship cup to the newcomer Fubuki.

I appreciate your sincerity.

Uchiha Gin rubbed his slightly swollen nose and said without changing his expression,
"what?"

Ignoring the bewildered Fubuki on the ground, Uchiha Gin turned his head and reminded Uzumaki Mito, who was engaged in an 18+ tentacle humiliation play not far away.
"Mito, stop! If you keep going, the book will be ruined."

"Tsk~ I didn't do anything, did I?"

Mito, who was having a great time, curled her lip upon hearing this, raised her hand and waved it, shattering the golden tortoise shell bindings that were binding Tatsumaki's tender body.

"sister!"

Just before the sweat-soaked Tornado landed, Fubuki swiftly stepped forward, using her own body to cushion her sister's fall.
Duang ~
Duang~Duang~
"Whoo~"

Seeing her sister launched into the air, Fubuki immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you alright, dear sister?"

Holding the utterly dejected Tatsumaki in her arms, Fubuki carefully examined her sister's body, her face full of concern.

"I'm too old to get married, Fubuki, you'll take care of me for the rest of my life, right?"

Tornado stared blankly at her younger sister with empty eyes. Fubuki felt a pang of anxiety; it seemed the psychological trauma was far more severe than the physical injury.
"Big sister, cheer up! You're going to be the Mizukage's woman!"

Having no other choice, she resorted to tornado's dream, hoping to awaken her will through it.

"Mizukage. Yes, I also want to unify Kirigakure, and I also want to make all the annoying Great Lightning disappear."

As the dream was rekindled, a flame called fighting spirit gradually ignited in Tornado's empty eyes.

"I can't just give up like this!"

"Sister-sama~"

Seeing Tatsumaki fully recovered, Fubuki immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her gaze to Uchiha Gin and the others who had easily defeated her sisters.
"Professor Oak."

"Just call me Saitama."

"Okay, Saitama-sensei, can you really help us use the power of the Tailed Beasts?"

Now that the misunderstanding was cleared up, Fubuki was eager to know how to use the Tailed Beast Cards.

This is crucial to whether the Karatachi clan can become the largest clan in Kirigakure, and even more so to whether Tatsumaki, the older sister, can rightfully inherit the position of Mizukage.

"Fubuki, are they the experts you found?"

Tatsumaki, still unaware of Gin Uchiha's and the others' identities, crept up to her sister's ear and whispered, her large green eyes filled with curiosity.

"They possess my token, so they are undoubtedly experts on tailed beasts. Sister, remember to apologize to Saitama later."

"Huh? I don't want to!"

Upon hearing this, Tornado's face immediately scrunched up like a bun. How could she, the dignified patriarch of the Goji Berry Clan, the Trembling Tornado of the Mist, bow down to an unknown outsider?

"She doesn't need it."

Uchiha Gin waved his hand dismissively.
The land is flat and clear; who needs such an insincere apology?

"You bald guy, believe it or not, I'll turn you into a bare coral reef!"

"As bare as your chest? I don't want that!"

"Nisnei!!!"

Faced with the utterly enraged Tatsumaki, Uchiha Gin calmly extended a single finger and precisely pressed it against the other's smooth forehead.
ε＝ε＝ε＝(╯益)╯Ahhh!

Unable to advance an inch, the tornado could only unleash a helpless rage, her delicate face turning bright red, which, combined with her green curly hair, made her look like a tomato come to life.
"I'm sorry, my sister can be a little temperamental sometimes. I hope you won't mind, Saitama-sensei."

Following closely behind, Fubuki slipped her hands under Tatsumaki's armpits and pulled her furious older sister away from Uchiha Gin, saying apologetically at the same time...

"It's alright, it's alright. I'm quite good at dealing with this type of brat."

Uchiha Gin shook his head indifferently, his gaze then falling on the figures moving outside the shop. They were making quite a commotion; someone must have already gone to inform the patrolling ninjas in the village.
Don't stay here for long.

"This is not the place to talk."

"Saitama-sensei, please come with me."

Fubuki also noticed the problem, so after gently calming her flailing sister, she gestured for Uchiha Gin and the others to follow.

All four were highly skilled ninjas; their Body Flicker Technique was so fast that ordinary people couldn't even detect it.

Before long, they arrived at a secluded courtyard in the valley outside Kirigakure.
"Please come in, this is the safe house of our Goji Berry Clan."

Fubuki turned around and gestured for Uchiha Gin and the others to proceed.
The interior of the villa was simply decorated and very clean, showing that it was regularly maintained.
What would you two like to drink?

The four entered the living room, and Fubuki got up and opened the cabinet next to her.

"Need not."

The wary Mito was the first to shake her head; it's always best to be careful when you're out and about.
Do you have any sweet drinks?

Uchiha Gin, on the other hand, was completely at ease.

"Um, no, is black tea okay?"

"Okay, remember to add three spoonfuls of sugar, thank you."

A moment later, a cup of sedative black tea, sweetened but not yet diluted, was placed in front of Uchiha Gin.
"Wait a moment~ the water isn't boiling yet."

On the other side, Tornado, sitting opposite the two, frowned deeply, her large eyes fixed on Mito, who was cloaked, as if trying to see right through her.
"Little dwarf, how long are you going to keep watching?"

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under her gaze, Mito questioned with a hint of displeasure,

"He just called you Mito, right?"

Tornado's eyes were filled with solemnity. As a member of Kirigakure, she naturally wouldn't forget the long-standing conflict between Kirigakure and the Uzumaki clan.
You wouldn't be.

If the mysterious woman before her is indeed Mito Uzumaki, the current head of the Uzumaki clan, then she will have to put aside the matter of the Tailed Beast Cards and make other considerations.

"That's right, I am Mito Uzumaki."

She boldly removed the cloak covering her head, revealing Mito's incredibly charming face to the air.

"what?"

Fubuki, holding the kettle, screamed in surprise, nearly spilling hot water on Uchiha Gin's groin.

With a look of astonishment, she immediately dropped the water bottle and backed away to create distance.

If the person accepting her mission were just an ordinary member of the Uzumaki clan, Fubuki could barely accept it, since taking on side jobs is quite common in the ninja world.

But if it's Mito Uzumaki, this would be a huge scandal.
This is like ordering takeout, but the person who delivers it is your enemy's boss. Do you eat it or not?
"Don't get agitated, she's not the one who received the mission."

Gin Uchiha, shifting his gaze from the water droplets left by the bird, spoke to reassure the two sisters who seemed somewhat nervous.
"Since she is Mito Uzumaki, then you wouldn't happen to be Hanamichi Uzumaki, would you?"

Fubuki looked warily at Uchiha Gin, whose upper body was still naked. Her beautiful eyes swept over his muscular physique, and her face couldn't help but blush slightly.
"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong." Uzumaki Hanamichi has been quite busy lately, spending every day by her daughter's side as she prepares to give birth, terrified that anything might happen to her soon-to-be-born grandson.

Reflecting on his brother-in-law's recent situation, Uchiha Gin stroked his chin, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

So, should I tell him that Mika is carrying a little princess?

"I'm just an ordinary tailed beast expert."

"What about her?"

Fubuki didn't believe Uchiha Ginki's words at all. Her gaze shifted to the nonchalant Mito beside her, her expression suggestive.
You're just an ordinary person, how can you team up with the clan leader?
"Her? We were just giving her a ride; she probably has other things to do."

Uchiha Gin waved his hand, signaling the two sisters not to overthink it, and Mito nodded in agreement, acknowledging the explanation.
"But."

"Do you even want to activate the Tailed Beasts?"

Seeing that Fubuki was still pressing for details, Uchiha Gin frowned, a hint of impatience creeping into his voice.
"Ah this."

The two sisters exchanged a glance, and for a moment hesitated.
Are you questioning my professionalism?

Glancing at the two women who seemed hesitant to speak, Uchiha Gin crossed his arms, adopting a superior posture.
"I will never hand over the Tailed Beast Cards to the Uzumaki clan."

Tornado puffed out her little mouth and tightly clutched the Three-Tailed Card in her arms.
"Think it over carefully, or you'll miss this opportunity."

"I would rather display the Tailed Beast Cards at home as decorations than let you even glance at them!"

Seeing the resolute look on Tatsumaki's face, Uchiha Gin's lips curled into a wicked smile.
"The power of the Tailed Beasts has the amazing effect of accelerating metabolism and promoting secondary development!"

Whoosh!
No sooner had she finished speaking than Tatsumaki appeared before Uchiha Gin, holding the Tailed Beast Card in her hands, and reverently raised the dim Three-Tails Card high.
"Master, please take a look!"

Fubuki, standing to the side:
Having acquired the Three-Tails Card again after many years, Gin Uchiha looked down at the giant turtle bound by sealed chains, and felt a pang of loss, realizing that things had changed.
Back then, he used this card to swindle 30 billion yuan in payments from Bai Lian. Unexpectedly, after changing hands several times, it eventually returned to his own possession.

"Isobu!"

With his consciousness penetrating the Tailed Beast Card in his hand, Uchiha Gin looked around at the pitch-black space and shouted loudly.

"Say something if you're not asleep."

His voice echoed for a moment, and after a brief silence, a long, drawn-out response came from the depths of the space.

"Squeak~"

Looking at the red light that illuminated the dark space, Uchiha Gin nodded slightly.
Just stay awake.

"Sister, how could you be so reckless?"

Looking cautiously at Uchiha Gin, who was lost in thought, Fubuki questioned her older sister with some annoyance.

"Do you think I don't know whether he's a true master or not?"

Tornado, her face tense, withdrew her envious gaze from her younger sister's swaying thunderbolt and instead adopted a resolute expression.

As long as it can help her develop again, even if it's an enemy, it's not unacceptable.

"It's you, why are you here?"

Awakening from his slumber, Isobu stared warily at his one-eyed opponent, not letting his guard down despite being identified as Uchiha Gintoki.
"I came here specifically to comfort the lonely tailed beast after hearing that you had just lost your partner."

Facing the colossal creature exuding a terrifying aura, Uchiha Gin acted as if he were having a casual conversation.

"Condolences?"

Upon hearing this, Isogai shook his head dismissively.

You came empty-handed?

Knowing it had no hope of escape and that it was no match for Uchiha Gin, the successor of the Six Paths, it relinquished all its obsessions and simply began to attack.
"Forehead"

Uchiha Gin never expected that Isobu would pick up on his joke so naturally.
Hajifu, you've changed!

Where did that quiet, steady turtle go?
"Hehe, didn't I bring you a big gift?"

With a casual laugh, Uchiha Gin raised his hand, revealing a mark that Isobu recognized very well.

Boom!

Sensing the aura of the feathered robe, Isobu suddenly stood up, his single eye filled with astonishment.
The warm air feels just like it did last week.

"Did the old man come to see you? What did he tell you?"

An excited Isobu lowered his head, leaned close to Uchiha Gin, and anxiously pressed for an answer.
Did he mention me?

I am the old man's most beloved turtle!
"Yes, yes, our ancestor was kind to everyone, he mentioned you all, of course, he especially mentioned you."

In order not to hurt Isobu's young heart, Uchiha Gin told a white lie.

"Hehe~ I knew Grandpa loved me the most!"

Having gotten the answer it wanted, Isobu's huge single eye narrowed into a crescent moon with joy. Next time it went to the chat room, it would definitely show off to the other beasts.

"Tell me, you didn't come to me just to tell me this good news, did you?"

Once the excitement subsided and Isobu regained his composure, his tone softened considerably.
"As expected of the tailed beast that was highly praised by the Feathered Robe Ancestor, even Kurama and Pamukkale can't match its intelligence."

Uchiha Gin immediately gave a thumbs up, and his words completely turned Isobu into a bastard.
"That's a good thing to hear. Just let me know if anything happens in the future. If you even flinch, I, the governor of Isogai, am a son of a bitch!"

"It's actually not a big deal."

Seeing how cooperative Isobu was, Uchiha Gin chuckled and pointed to the tornado outside.

Have you seen her?

"That nagging little brat, she's been driving me crazy these past few days."

Having finally endured Katsura's death, Isogai was preparing to rest for a while, but the moment he closed his eyes, he heard a little girl's mutterings.

The content is full of strange ramblings about wanting to grow up and become a long-legged monster.

"Do me a favor, buddy, and team up with her."

"what?"

Isobu's first reaction was rejection. Although it liked small humans, it didn't like small female humans.
"Don't worry, I'll give you more freedom this time, so you can go out and get some fresh air."

Uchiha Gin squinted and gave Isobu an OK sign.
"If I don't go, who will? You're the one Grandpa chose!"

Isobu, who was about to refuse, suddenly saw the cold, scarlet light emanating from Uchiha Gin's narrowed eyes. The deep power of his pupils instantly reminded him of the painful experience of losing his tail, and he quickly changed the subject.
"It's so good that you understand my job."

If you won't listen to good advice, I also know a little bit about martial arts.

With a smile, the crimson glint in his eyes vanished, and Uchiha Gin raised his fist, clashing it against Isobu's claw. The deal was struck.

After ending his conversation with Isobu, the real-life Uchiha Gin slowly opened his eyes. Fubuki, who had been focusing her attention on him, immediately asked,

"You're awake? How did it go? Can this Tailed Beast Card be activated?"

"It's a bit difficult, but not impossible."

A hint of reluctance appeared on Uchiha Gin's face.
"Is it really true, Master Saitama?"

Upon hearing this, Tatsumaki, who was staring blankly at Mito, dashed over to Uchiha Gin, excitedly sticking out her little bottom with a hopeful expression.

Gently stroking the Three-Tails card in his hand, Uchiha Gin spoke while shifting his gaze to the composed Mito not far away.
"I'm afraid I'll have a hard time completing this task alone. I'll need the assistance of a ninja skilled in sealing techniques to have any chance of successfully activating the Tailed Beast Card." (End of Chapter)
