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

Konoha,

"Snapped!"

With a loud crash, the rickety door to the Hokage's office was violently kicked open from the outside.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was intently examining the crystal ball on the table, was startled and frantically tried to hide the crystal ball that was playing 18+ content.
Unexpectedly, the pipe he was holding fell out of his mouth, the scalding hot butt landing squarely in the crotch of his pants, which were halfway down.

"what!"

A bloodcurdling scream followed.

"Hiruzen! Great news!!!"

But the newcomer seemed oblivious to Hiruzen Sarutobi's distorted face, continuing to wave the victory report in his hand, his face beaming with excitement.

"hiss"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no time to respond to Akimichi Torifu's sudden intrusion. He was slumped over his desk, gasping for breath, his slightly curled-up body convulsing.
"Huh? Hiruzen, what's that smell like yakitori? Oh, you're sneaking around having a midnight snack all by yourself again!"

Akimichi Torifu sniffed, catching a faint aroma of roasting. His large eyes narrowed instantly.
"Hurry up and take it out to share with us!"

"you?"

Despite the excruciating pain, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly raised his head and saw Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, the long-time couple, standing outside the door that Akimichi Torifu had just smashed open.

"Qu Feng, you run way too fast."

Koharu, shaking her head, entered the room, her delicate nose twitching slightly, and a teasing smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Why does it still smell like roasted chestnuts? Hiruzen, you're eating way too well!"

"What happened?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, clutching his crotch, slowly straightened up, asking a question while discreetly pulling his pulled-up pants back up.

"Hiruzen, is your butt uncomfortable?"

Seeing her friend's strange little actions, the observant Mitokado Homura adjusted her glasses and asked with slight concern,

"How could that be? I'm not Danzo."

Without batting an eye, Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, finally managing to pull up his trousers. Then, quite naturally, he bent down and picked up the pipe from the ground, which was still glowing with tiny embers.
He wanted to take a puff, but his eyes caught sight of the burn marks on the pipe. A wave of sorrow washed over him, and with a pained expression, he put the pipe away.
"Stop sulking! Come and see, we just got some fresh, firsthand news of a great victory from the front lines, it's still warm!"

My great victory news is still fresh in my mind.

Reaching out to take the scroll handed to him by Akimichi Torifu, Hiruzen Sarutobi swiftly unfurled it. A glance at it, and his sorrowful expression vanished instantly.
"Jing, you're amazing!"

According to the report, the Konoha frontline forces led by Uchiha Kagami not only withstood the offensive of the combined Lightning and Earth armies, but also launched a counterattack, successfully annihilating both Kumogakure and Iwagakure.
"Huh? Uchiha Madara."

However, his smile didn't last long. A familiar name appeared on the intelligence report, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned from sunny to stormy, his gaze becoming terrifyingly dark. He no longer had the will to look any further.

"Yes, if it weren't for the Second Generation's divine intervention, Kagami and Hishin might have become prisoners of the Silver Brothers."

The simple-minded Akimichi Torifu didn't have as many hidden thoughts as Hiruzen Sarutobi. He only saw Madara Uchiha intervene to save the day and didn't deeply consider the potential impact of the event.
"Tsk!"

In the years since he took office, he has focused on developing the Ninja Clan Alliance and expanding the family's businesses.
On the other hand, they have been trying to weaken the influence of the Senju and Uchiha clans on the village.
Before he could even make any plans, the Senju clan, in particular, stabbed themselves in the back, disbanding on the spot.
The remaining Uchiha clan members, while not in as dire a situation as the Senju clan, were not much better off.
The only capable one, Uchiha Izuna, fled to the Land of Waves with his family to recuperate.

He also secretly divided the Uchiha clan members who remained in the village; the new elder, Uchiha Setsuna, was a puppet he deliberately supported.
To this end, Hiruzen Sarutobi even reluctantly gave up three thousand breeding boars to help Setsuna Uchiha out of his immediate predicament.

With the Senju clan collapsing and the Uchiha clan focusing on pig farming, the era of the Ninja Alliance is about to begin.

As a result, Madara Uchiha, who should have been forgotten by history, suddenly reappeared, and his actions caused a major stir.
He effortlessly defeated the Third Tsuchikage with a flick of his wrist, and overpowered the Cloud Village's two heroes, the Silver and Gold Brothers. With such a record, who wouldn't be bewildered?
Having finally managed to put aside their competitive spirit, the Uchiha clan members had no choice but to immediately switch from their butcher knives to gleaming samurai swords.

Raising pigs?

I wouldn't even keep a dog!

The three-year term has come to an end. We cordially welcome the second generation leader back to the village!

At that time, all his efforts will be in vain.

How to do?
Otherwise, we should stop the Hokage Rock project for now. What if we don't need it? Wouldn't that be a waste of money?

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had already begun to prepare for the worst, had his expression change repeatedly before finally settling into a deep sadness, leaving Akimichi Torifu looking on with a puzzled expression.

"Hiruzen, these are all good news, why don't you seem happy at all? Instead, you seem a little sad."

"Ugh"

He's about to be moved, how could he possibly be happy?
"I understand! You must be worried about Danzo's injuries. Don't worry, Hisana has inherited her master's skills and has removed all of his lesions."

"Oh."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was in no mood to care about his childhood friend, but since Akimichi Torifu had said so, he suppressed his sadness and glanced down.
But then he saw news that thrilled him.

Madara Uchiha did not express any desire to return to the village and left without saying goodbye!

"Waaaaah, Danzo, you died such a terrible death!!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi burst into tears of joy on the spot, his heart finally settling back into his chest.

"Hiruzen, Danzo only cut off his buttocks, he's still alive!"

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's genuine emotions, Akimichi Torifu and the others blinked in confusion before finally speaking up to remind him,

"Ugh, for Danzo, losing his butt is the same as losing his life, isn't it?"

Realizing he had been overly emotional, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly wiped away his tears and explained in a heavy tone,

"What you say makes some sense."

Akimichi Torifu and the others pondered it for a moment, and it seemed that what he said made sense.
For Danzo, the buttocks were the true essence.

"Haha, Qu Feng, get ready, we're going to throw a grand welcome party for Jing and the others!"

With a sense of relief, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt the burning sensation in his groin lessen somewhat. He then smiled and looked up at his friend beside him.

"give it to me!"

He's a professional at organizing large-scale events like this, so everyone can just sit back and enjoy the good food and drinks!
"In that case, you may go back first."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, still having some personal matters to attend to, announced that the guest should leave.

But his friends showed no sign of leaving; instead, they all stared at him intently.
"Hiruzen, you haven't shared your yakitori with everyone yet~" "And the roasted chestnuts too."

"."

A few days later,
The victorious frontline troops arrived in Konoha one after another, and the high-ranking officials, led by Hiruzen Sarutobi, were already waiting on the main road ten miles from the gate.
Behind them were representatives from various ninja clans, as well as ninja academy students in matching uniforms, holding flowers.
The roadsides were lined with villagers eager to welcome the victorious team, their heads craning their necks in anticipation of witnessing the heroes' return.
"Ah Yin, why don't we go over there?"

In the villagers' procession, Senju Itama, dressed in casual clothes, turned his head in confusion to look at the sleepy-eyed curly-haired man behind him, and pointed towards the position of the ninja clan's representative team.

"Ha~ I know too many people, it's too much trouble to greet them all."

With his lifeless eyes drooping, Uchiha Gin yawned widely, his gaze sweeping over the faces of Uchiha Setsuna and the others, a look of utter disinterest on his face.

They're all rigid old guys, lacking any fun, and most importantly, they can't even trigger the system's steel attack.

Shaking his head slightly with disdain, Uchiha Gin, that fickle man, had long since lost interest in these guys he'd known since childhood.
Are you afraid they'll cause you trouble?

Without any hesitation, Senju Itama exposed the reality that a certain curly-haired man was disliked by both humans and dogs. While speaking, he also gave Uchiha Gin, who had dark circles under his eyes, a fierce glare.
He looks so weak, he must have done something shady last night!
"Mr. Yin!"

Suddenly, a cool voice rang out behind him. Uchiha Gin smiled familiarly and turned around to greet him.

"Hey! Little administrator~"

Perhaps because it was too crowded, the air around was a bit stuffy, and the girl's fair face turned rosy and very cute.
Seeing Uchiha Gin smiling at her, the girl's long, narrow eyes immediately curved into crescent shapes, a stark contrast to her usual aloof demeanor.
"Sister Zhili, come over here!"

Seeing that it was her best friend, Senju Itama, showing no sense of crisis whatsoever, pushed Uchiha Gin aside and then beckoned Uchiha Osamu to her side, where they began chatting animatedly.

Did you come alone?

"My mother is here too, but there were too many people just now, and I got separated from her."

Recalling his somewhat naive mother, Uchiha Osamu's eyes were filled with helplessness.
When will Mother finally let me worry less?

"What a heartless brat."

Abandoned by Senju Itama, who had forgotten his father after meeting his daughter, Uchiha Gin sighed and scratched his head.

However, the next second, a hot, voluptuous body pressed against his back.
Sensing the faint, mature scent lingering around his nose, Uchiha Gin didn't even need to look at the shape to immediately guess who had attacked him.
"Madam Yongmei, did you sleep well last night?"

After all, we talked about them all night last night, so it would be hard to guess wrong.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Eimi, whose face was excessively flushed, raised her hand to cover her full red lips and gave Uchiha Gin a coquettish glare.
"Ara ara~ Gintoki, have you seen my lost little shoji?"

"It's you who got lost, Mother!"

Upon hearing his mother's voice, Uchiha Rinpoche clenched his small fists, and a clear tic-tac-toe mark instantly appeared on his fair forehead.

"Waaaaah, Gintoki, you little tyrant is bullying me~"

Seeing her daughter showing signs of going berserk, Uchiha Eimi grabbed Uchiha Gin beside her as a shield, thus averting a famous scene of motherly love and filial piety.
The family's usual antics quickly came to an end, and the four of them secured a good vantage point for observation.

Uchiha Gin was very generous, taking out the delicious food and drinks from his backpack to share with everyone, and even thoughtfully setting up a table and chairs for everyone to rest.

Looking at the table laden with snacks and unfamiliar drinks, the girls seamlessly began enjoying a refined afternoon tea.

Uchiha Rinpoche picked up a glass of unknown liquid, took a small sip, her fair face scrunched up, and after putting the glass down with a tense expression, she slowly asked,
"Mr. Yin, is the war really over?"

During the questioning, her filial piety was piqued, and she secretly pushed a glass of unsweetened, 100% pure lemonade in front of her mother, who was snacking nearby.

"War"

Uchiha Gin leaned back in his chair, gazing up at the distant blue sky, and said in a cryptic tone,

"The world is far from as wonderful as you imagine. As long as there are people, war will never end."

Is there no way to completely eliminate war?

Suddenly, Senju Itama interjected, his large, clear eyes filled with complex emotions.
Although she met Uchiha Gin because of the war, she never liked the war.
My father, mother, brother, and many other members of my clan were all separated because of the war.

"Some have jail time~"

Reaching out, he ruffled Senju Itama's little head, and seeing the boy's disappointed face, Uchiha Gin smiled and said...

"Really!?"

"The prerequisite for achieving nuclear peace in the ninja world is knowing how to plant trees."

"what?"

"How dare you play tricks on me!"

Senju Itama stood there stunned for a long time, her fair face gradually turning red.

Its sharp fangs rubbed together, its large, humiliated eyes fixed on Uchiha Gin's handsome face, searching for the best place to bite.
"Eat this bun!"

Seeing this, the quick-thinking Gin Uchiha grabbed a pineapple bun from the table and stuffed it into Itama Senju's mouth.
"Uh huh"

The unexpected pineapple bun made the girl choke and roll her eyes. Seeing this, Uchiha Eimi immediately picked up the unknown liquid in front of her and handed it to her.

"Small room, quickly drink some water."

"do not want!"

Uchiha Rinne tried to stop it, but it was too late.

Gudu Gudu~
"Thanks!" (*)
After finally managing to swallow the pineapple bun with just water, Senju Itama's little face scrunched up like a daisy.
"Wasn't it water all along?"

Seeing Senju Itama's expression, Uchiha Eimi belatedly smelled the cup in her hand, a look of realization flashing across her charming face.
"Evil deeds will be punished by Heaven, don't you think, little administrator?"

Turning his head to look at Uchiha Gin, who had inexplicably fallen silent, Uchiha Gin said with a sigh,

"Yes, Mr. Yin."

Uchiha Gin raised his head and gave a very obedient smile, but for some reason, Uchiha Gin felt a chill run down his spine when he saw it.

Meanwhile, within the ranks of the Konoha leadership,
Three figures standing behind Hiruzen Sarutobi were quietly gossiping.

"Jiraiya, is what you just said true?"

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya, who was beating around the bush, with a face full of disbelief.

"It's absolutely true. A few nights ago, I really saw the teacher sneaking into the back alley of West Street and going into that shady clinic that specializes in treating difficult and complicated male diseases." (End of Chapter)
