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

"Hey hey! Here come the fries~"

Completely absorbed in making her food, Senshou Itama was oblivious to the unusual commotion in the living room. Only after she had finished creating a dish that satisfied her did she finally arrive, belatedly carrying a large plate of golden fries.

"Huh? Where's Tsukihime?"

However, the beautiful figure who had come from afar was nowhere to be seen in the living room; only Uchiha Gin, who was holding his nosebleed with his head held high, and Uchiha Hikaru, who looked speechless, remained.

"She went to take a shower and change her clothes."

Uchiha Hikaru glared at the curly-haired man beside him and explained where Tsukihime had gone.
"Bathing and changing clothes before meals? Moon people have this custom?"

Senju Itama blinked in confusion, then casually placed the fragrant fries on the table.
"Because someone's nosebleed sprayed onto the guest."

"Cough cough cough, you only saw my nosebleed, why didn't you mention how much effort I put into treating Yueji?"

Feeling slightly uncomfortable under Uchiha Hikaru's teasing gaze, Uchiha Gin stuffed a piece of paper into his nostrils and asked in a serious tone,
"All I saw was you leering at people through their slits."

"I was forced!"

Tsukihime is very well-mannered, okay? Even someone from the moon knows what to show when expressing gratitude.
"I've never seen you react this strongly when I pressured you."

Uchiha Hikaru curled his lip and sized up Uchiha Gin with a dangerous look.

How can you two be compared?

"What do you mean by that?!"

"What does it mean literally?"

Looking at Uchiha Hikaru's not-so-broad chest with pity, Uchiha Gin's eyes were filled with sighs.
"Nonsense! They're both two thunderbolts with one crack in the middle, so who's more noble than the other?"

"Tap tap. Tap."

Just then, light footsteps echoed from the deeper part of the corridor. Everyone looked towards the sound and saw it was Tsukihime, the woman they had been discussing.

She had her wet, white hair piled up behind her head, and was wearing an indigo Uchiha-style robe. In her delicate white hands, she held a cherry-red women's yukata.
"Excuse me, Hikaru, your clothes seem a little tight."

Tsukihime looked apologetically at the stiff-faced Uchiha Hikaru, handing him the tight-fitting yukata, her white eyes filled with apology.
"I tried it on, I hope it's not too big for you."

Expand?

Uchiha Hikari's gaze shifted to the yukata, which was showing signs of ribbing at the chest area. A vein instantly bulged on her forehead. Glancing at Uchiha Gin, who was suppressing a laugh, she forced back her anger and feigned nonchalance as she explained...
"Phew, it's okay. I wore this outfit a long time ago, so it doesn't matter if it gets stretched out."

"Uh?"

At this moment, the ever-straightforward Senju Itama couldn't sit still any longer. How could we Earthlings lie to aliens?

This immediately exposed the colossal lie that Uchiha Hikaru had told in an attempt to salvage his dignity.

"Didn't you just buy this outfit last week? I remember you said it was a bit big and you were planning to exchange it for a smaller size this weekend?"

"You remembered wrong."

"I have a very good memory, I can't be wrong. If you don't believe me, look at the labels on the back, aren't they still there?"

Whoosh!

Black flames rose out of nowhere, turning the cherry-red yukata, along with its tag, to ashes.

No, you must have mistaken me.

The moment his eyes met those crimson eyes that radiated a chilling power, Senju Itama immediately changed the subject and nodded with absolute certainty.
"No, I didn't see wrong!"

Looking at Hikaru, who was struggling with body image anxiety, Gin Uchiha gently shook his head.
He wasn't the kind of vulgar person who was obsessed with Da Lei. Instead of getting hung up on this talent issue, he should learn the skills from the old driver Ji Xiao'an.

"Is the water temperature alright, Tsukihime?"

Turning his head to look at the beautiful Byakugan girl emerging from her bath, Uchiha Gin's gaze lingered for a moment on the indigo-blue clan robe she was wearing, a puzzled expression appearing on his face.

"Thank you for the treat. Is this your dress?"

Tsukihime nodded slightly, expressionlessly tugging at her slightly oversized men's robe. Her beautiful figure was faintly revealed with the movement.

“It’s mine, but don’t worry, I’ve only worn it twice, and I washed it both times.”

Uchiha Gin wasn't lying; this clan uniform was custom-made for him when he founded Konoha.

He wore it once when Konoha was founded, and again when his cousin became Hokage. After that, it was kept as a souvenir, gathering dust in his closet.

I never expected to be dug up by Tsukihime today. It can be said that I died a worthy death and that my life in this world was not in vain.

"I will wash it clean and return it to you."

Having heard the answer she wanted, Yueji's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, but her expression remained aloof as she spoke.

"No need, no need, it has already had its life's worth."

Actually, Gin Uchiha told a little lie: because he was worried that the clothes would shrink, he never washed the expensive custom-made clan uniform.

"Then I will handle it properly."

Item obtained by Tsukihime Otsutsuki: Uchiha Gin's Original Set *1
“dozo~”

Senju Itama pushed the fries in front of Tsukihime as she sat down, his face full of anticipation as he awaited her evaluation.
Seeing the golden fries, Tsukihime, who considered herself the "French Fry Sage," was naturally tempted. Forgetting all about dining etiquette, she grabbed several fries and began to devour them.

"Wow! These fries are even better than the ones in the store!"

In no time, her fair cheeks were stuffed full, and her greasy, charming appearance was a far cry from the aloofness she had shown at their first meeting. Seeing this, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but pick up a tissue and hand it to her.
Tsukihime stared at the tissue being offered to her, her chewing mouth momentarily stopping. After a split second of rapid thought, she leaned forward and pouted her greasy lips at Uchiha Gin.

"Uh"

Uchiha Gin was stunned. He was just handing over a tissue, why did he have to add the service of wiping his mouth?

Fine, considering that Tsukihime has just recovered from her serious injuries, I'll reluctantly serve her for a bit.
Thinking this, under the murderous gazes of Uchiha Hikaru and Senju Itama, he gently wiped the grease and fries from Tsukihime's lips, his lowered eyes filled with visible doting affection.
"Eat slowly, there's still Coke here."

This was the first time in her life that Tsukihime had been treated like this by a man.
As soon as Uchiha Gin's warm fingers left her lips, her face flushed instantly, and she felt like a boiling teapot.
"Thank you."

Looking at the crimson-clad Tsukihime, Uchiha Gin chuckled and shook his head.

"We're all family, don't be so polite. Just don't forget to bring a souvenir when you visit next time."

"Is a giant Tenseigan okay?"

Using the Tenseigan as a dowry shouldn't be a problem, right?
"No need, just bring some jewelry or diamonds."

To be fair, Senju Itama's culinary skills have now reached a top-tier level. Even fast food like French fries are incredibly delicious. Even Uchiha Gin, who doesn't usually like fried food, showed off his good taste by dipping them in honey.

After a satisfying meal, the group got down to business and began discussing the events that had occurred on the moon.

Uchiha Gin stroked his chin, looking at the dignified Tsukihime with eyes full of curiosity.
"How did they get up there? I remember that only authorized people can open the portals, right?"

The only passage between the Earth's surface and the moon is that pool of water hidden in a desolate cave.
When Gin Uchiha returned from the moon, he used the power of the Spear of Amazu to gain supreme access to the portal. Only those he granted the key could temporarily open the portal.

"Suck~"

She picked up the teacup containing the small, sweet black liquid, took a sip, and a look of enjoyment appeared on her face. Upon hearing Uchiha Gin's question, she gently shook her head, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
"They suddenly descended onto the lunar surface. The patrolling puppets discovered their presence immediately, but were quickly wiped out."

Those despicable invaders blew up her favorite floating island, which housed ancient texts of the Otsutsuki clan spanning millennia, as well as the interesting novels she had collected over the years.
"Did you suffer any personnel losses?"

The Otsutsuki clan on the moon was already dwindling in number. Although they had sent many "sowing machines" (products) there over the years to satisfy the lustful old women, the strength of their bloodline couldn't match, and the population growth rate was pitifully slow.

Therefore, every member of the Otsutsuki clan is extremely precious.
"No, besides me, only Sister Biluo suffered a minor injury."

Having foreseen this, upon confirming the intruders' identity, to avoid unnecessary losses, Yueji ordered all her clansmen to remain still and not act rashly, while she led her puppet army and Biluo to meet them in battle.

"Is Biluo injured?"

Uchiha Gin frowned slightly, and his aura suddenly intensified. A terrifying pressure emanating from him made the three unsuspecting women gasp for breath.

"Don't worry, Sister Biluo is fine."

Seeing that the oppressive aura emanating from Uchiha Gin was growing increasingly heavy, Tsukihime quickly spoke up to explain.

"The props you gave her came in very handy and helped us a lot."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin finally suppressed the oppressive aura he had inadvertently released, and his serious expression returned to its usual carefree and relaxed state.

"Only props were used? Then the problem isn't too serious."

He left Biluo not only a few pieces of protective gear, but also several spatial scrolls that could summon him.
If they truly encountered an invincible enemy, and their lives hung by a thread, Biluo would definitely tear open the scroll and call out to him remotely.
Gin Uchiha also gave the same scroll to Uchiha Eimi and her daughter, Hikaru, Senju Itama, and Mito, who was overseas, so that he could rush to their aid if they were in danger.

Oh, right, he also seems to have given one away to that little angel with whom he had a brief master-disciple relationship.

However, even Uchiha Gin couldn't guarantee whether the summoning jutsu in the scroll would still be triggered across two different time periods.

"By the way, what was the quality of the clones you encountered?"

After pulling the memory from that young, innocent face, Uchiha Gin inquired about the situation with the clones that had invaded the moon.
"As for their skill level, in a one-on-one situation, I can take down any one of them in three minutes."

Tilting her head, Yueji recalled the details of her battle, her fair face filled with pride.

"Could you tell me more about your battle?"

"no problem!"

Tsukihime immediately transformed into a boastful elementary school student, chattering away as she recounted her battle with seven enemies on the moon's surface.
The main plot includes, but is not limited to, Biluo activating her butterfly transformation mode, perfectly supporting her by first eliminating one clone and then holding off another.

And her heroic feat of forcibly activating the Super Tenseigan mode amidst an attack by five clones, unleashing a Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion with one hand, instantly splitting the heads of two unfortunate clones.
"No wonder you're so badly injured. Do you think you can even activate the Super Tenseigan Mode?"

Super Tenseigan Mode, as the name suggests, is a dangerous mode that overuses the power of the giant Tenseigan, capable of unleashing terrifying destructive power comparable to that of a Six Paths level expert in a short period of time.

However, immense power often comes with extremely high risks. As someone who also possesses the authority of a giant Tenseigan, Uchiha Gin was well aware of the potentially serious consequences of this method.

If one is not careful, one could end up like Toneri Otsutsuki from the original timeline, forced into a grotesque, inhuman shape by the immense power of the Byakugan within the giant reincarnation eye.
"Why can you drive it but I can't? I am the rightful heir to the Tenseigan!"

"Because I eat more than you and I'm stronger than you."

Gin Uchiha reached out and tapped Tsukihime's disgruntled head, then wore a thoughtful expression.

Based on the other party's description, he already had a general understanding.

The enemy's technology hasn't made any significant breakthroughs; the clones of Hashirama Senju are still hovering around the level of the old version.
He bent down and picked up the pill that had already had its tailed beast's chakra drained by Wood Release, a certain suspicion in his eyes.

"Boom!"

With a slight exertion of his fingers, Uchiha Silver's chakra core instantly turned to powder.

The reason these clones invaded the moon was most likely because they were after the Ten-Tails' body.

As for the ultimate goal.
The Otsutsuki named Jigen probably wanted to revive the Ten-Tails, replant the God Tree, and then harvest the chakra fruit containing the power of the planet's origin.

Since Gin Uchiha hadn't watched the Boruto series and didn't know that Jigen possessed a Ten-Tails, he naturally assumed that Jigen's invasion of the moon was an attempt to steal the Gedo Mazo.

Of course, Uchiha Gin's guess was largely correct.

These clones were the advance team sent by Jigen to the moon to carry out exploration missions.
However, his target wasn't just the Gedo Statue, but also the traitor slumbering inside the moon.

If ranked in order of priority, Kaguya Otsutsuki is far more important to Jigen than the withered Gedo Mazo.

"Tsukihime, what are your plans next?"

Now that the enemy has a means to reach the moon, the attacks will only increase. This time, Tsukihime was only able to barely repel the enemy thanks to her overpowered abilities.

What about next time?
What if Jigen sends out an even more powerful clone next time? How will the Otsutsuki clan on the moon respond?
"Become stronger."

Faced with his question, Tsukihime uttered a word that surprised Uchiha Gin. Looking at her earnest face staring directly at him, he raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"You mean getting stronger by asking me to help you, right?"

“That’s right, it was all the ancestor’s instruction.”

"what?"

You old bastard, Hamura Otsutsuki! I treated you with courtesy last time in the Pure Land, but you just kept causing me trouble!
Uchiha Gin rubbed his temples, his handsome face showing a hint of sadness. He hadn't awakened some kind of teacher system where teaching others would make him stronger.
"Actually, I've never been very good at teaching people."

Upon hearing this, Tsukihime narrowed her eyes, the doubt in her white eyes clearly visible.

She knew that Uchiha Gin had many disciples, both officially and unofficially, and was very knowledgeable about teaching, especially that purple-haired girl, whose strength was not much weaker than her best friend's.

Even if I wanted to teach, I don't have the right teaching materials!

With a righteous wave of his hand, Uchiha Gin revealed the Karma seal given to him by the Sage of Six Paths in his palm.

Seeing Uchiha Gin's repeated refusals, Tsukihime wasn't disappointed. Instead, she revealed a playful expression, her white eyes darting around as an interesting idea formed in her mind.
"Moon Princess, don't be discouraged. There must be a way to become stronger in the ancient books on the moon."

"Unfortunately, those ancient books containing information about the Otsutsuki clan have all been destroyed by the invaders, Gintoki~ (End of Chapter)"
