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

"Auntie?"

The Hyuga brothers blinked their large white eyes in confusion; they had never heard of having any distant great-aunt.

But the woman before him, with her white eyes, possessed an innate, ancient nobility of the Hyuga clan, clearly indicating she was no ordinary member.
"That's right, hurry up and pay your respects to your great-aunt!"

Uchiha Gin smiled and made way for Tsukihime.
"What are you talking about?"

Tsukihime naturally despised this attempt to claim kinship, her cold eyes filled with a hint of displeasure.
"We were one family hundreds of years ago, so what do you mean by 'no problem'?"

Shrugging, Uchiha Gin leaned down and whispered in Tsukihime's ear,
"Even poor relatives are still relatives. Just bear with it a little. You might need their help in the future."

Tsukihime didn't respond to his words. Instead, she furrowed her delicate brows and looked the somewhat nervous Hyuga brothers up and down with a scrutinizing expression.
"This level of purity? Hah."

"They are still young, so there might be room for further purification."

Uchiha Gin despised the theory of bloodline. Although he was the biggest mixed-race person in the ninja world, that didn't stop him from believing that hard work was more important than talent.
"It's hopeless. The purity of the Byakugan cannot be changed since its inception."

"And what about their offspring?"

"A golden phoenix can never fly out of a chicken coop."

Seeing the confident look on Tsukihime's face, Uchiha Gin stroked his chin and half-jokingly made a bet.
"How about we make a bet? If any of their offspring produces a child whose purity satisfies you, you'll take them as your apprentices, okay?"

"What if there isn't one?"

"No? If you don't have any, I'll do a handstand and poop!"

Hinata's title of "Byakugan Princess" isn't just for show; she even has Hanabi, her sister-in-law, whose Byakugan purity is high enough to support the Tenseigan, as a safety net for gacha pulls.
"You seem to have high hopes for them. Well then, let's not do the upside-down pooping anymore, I'm afraid it will hurt my eyesight."

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Gin inherited the genes of the unassuming Hyuga brothers, and Tsukihime, while curious, shook her head and refused his difficult punishment.

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to arrange a room for me in your house."

When Tsukihime made her demands, she appeared calm and collected, but inside she was panicking terribly.
"Uh?"

"It'll be convenient for me to stop after I finish eating my fries."

Without blushing or her heart pounding, Yueji quickly tried to find excuses for herself, then awkwardly looked away, avoiding eye contact with the bewildered Uchiha Gin.
"Hey! I thought you were going to make some unreasonable demands. It's just a room, right? Even without the bet, I should still prepare one for you."

Who is Tsukihime?

To put it simply, she's Uchiha Gin's sister-in-law.

There's a saying that goes, "A sister-in-law is half a sister-in-law to her brother-in-law!"
"Then I'll take the one next to the toilet. I'm used to living there."

"no problem."

Without a second thought, Uchiha Gin agreed to Tsukihime's not-so-demanding conditions.
Upon receiving the promise, Tsukihime couldn't help but beam with joy. Her delicate eyebrows twitched slightly, which was quite adorable.
"Then let's get back to the bet, what about their brothers' offspring?"

He had intended to bring up the bet again, but to his surprise, Tsukihime waved her hand dismissively.
"As long as they're not an idiot, I can take the time to personally give them some pointers."

So sloppy?

Didn't you just look down on the purity of other products?
"Of course, this only applies when I'm on the ground."

Tsukihime has no plans to re-establish contact with the Hyuga clan on the surface for the time being.

On one hand, it was to prevent the Otsutsuki clan from being drawn into the conflicts of the ninja world; on the other hand, she genuinely looked down on her poor relatives with their corrupt internal systems.
"Grandpa Yin, who exactly is this lady?"

Watching Tsukihime whispering among herself for so long, Hiashi gathered his scattered thoughts, stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, hesitated for a moment, and then politely asked,

elder sister?

Upon hearing this youthful title, Tsukihime was initially delighted, but she quickly realized that she was about to be of a different generation than Uchiha Gin. So, her pretty face hardened, and she reminded him in a cold voice,
"Call me Auntie."

Only in this way can she be on the same level as Uchiha Gin.

"what?"

Hiashi scratched his head in confusion. Don't women all like to be called "sister"?
"I've met Auntie!"

Compared to his rigid older brother, Hizashi was much more flexible in his thinking. He stepped forward directly and bowed respectfully.
Although he was young, he could tell that the unfamiliar "auntie" in front of him had a close relationship with Uchiha Gin, and that there was definitely some unspeakable connection between them.

Upon hearing the address "Auntie," Yueji's expression softened slightly, and she nodded almost imperceptibly, acknowledging the title.

Seeing that the family reunion ended without incident, Uchiha Gin raised his hand and beckoned the still somewhat bewildered Hyuga brothers to his side.
“Go back and tell your grandfather that I am working on the matter he asked me to handle, so that he can focus on his recovery and stop making unfounded accusations.”

Hyuga Tenyou, after reading a few ancient books about the Otsutsuki on the moon, has become quite eccentric.
Last time, I specifically asked him to lend a hand to the Hyuga clan during their perilous moment when the Otsutsuki descended to the moon.
Only Uchiha Gin had a high threshold for laughter, otherwise he would have laughed out loud at the time.
What treasures could the Hyuga clan possibly possess that would be worth Tsukihime's covetousness?
"Uh ok."

The Hyuga brothers exchanged a glance, realizing it concerned their grandfather's secrets, and wisely refrained from asking further questions.
Uchiha Gin immediately nodded in satisfaction.
"I like kids like you. If Fugaku had half your composure, I wouldn't have to worry about him so much."

"Young Master Fugaku!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the protagonist that Uchiha Gin had mentioned appeared. Mikoto excitedly waved her little hands and called out to Fugaku, who was walking slowly towards her from a distance.
Today, Fugaku was clearly well-prepared. He was not only wearing the traditional Uchiha clan combat uniform, but also had a chibi-style katana tucked into his waistband. His ninja tool pouch was bulging, suggesting it was packed with some serious weaponry.
"Yo~"

Mimicking Gin Uchiha's usual greeting, Fugaku, dressed as an adult, flashed what he thought was a cool smile at the group present.
Are you all waiting for me?

The next second, the iron fist of sanctions descended from the sky.

Boom!
"Oh, what are you doing~"

Uchiha Gin glared fiercely at Fugaku, who was clutching his head and yelling.
"The rope tree is taking the assessment, what's the point of you standing here pretending and acting all high and mighty? Where did you get those clothes? I don't think the tribe has children's sizes."

"I thought today was an important day for Rope Tree, so I dressed a little more formally."

Tears welled in Fugaku's eyes from the pain, and he looked at Uchiha Gin's smoking iron fist with lingering fear, cautiously explaining...

"I found this while sorting through my father's belongings."

No wonder Uchiha Gin thought the clothes looked familiar; they were the ones Izuna wore when he was a kid. Fugaku probably dug them out of the clan's old house.

and many more!

Relic?

Uchiha Gin's eyes sharpened, his deadpan gaze fixed intently on Fugaku.

"Besides the clothes, you didn't find anything else strange, did you?"

"Uh"

Fugaku's expression tightened, and his eyes became evasive.

"For example, some locked bookcases."

"I didn't find the young imperial uncle!"

"."

That brat, he's just like his dad!
And then there's Izuna. You didn't even pack your study materials when you left. Did you really intend to let Fugaku inherit them?

“You’re not old enough to read that kind of stuff. Hand it all over when you get back. If you’re missing even one, I’ll hold you responsible.”

"that."

"Don't even think about keeping it to yourself, I have the complete catalog."

These learning materials all passed through his hands and ended up in Izuna's collection. "Uncle, listen to me first. It's not that I don't want to hand them over, the books really aren't in my possession."

Fugaku raised a finger with a pained expression.
"I didn't even look at a single one. I didn't dare to look at a single one. A blue thief packed up all the books and stole them."

Oh, it's been returned to its rightful owner!

"Who knows if what you're saying is true or not."

However, Gin Uchiha couldn't say it outright and remained skeptical.

“They can testify that young master Fugaku cried so hard that night that his bottom was all swollen.”

At this moment, the understanding Mikoto stepped forward to defend Fugaku, earnestly explaining the situation.
"Since Mikoto is vouching for you, I'll believe you this time. If you find any strange relics again, hand them over to me immediately, understand?"

"Roger that!"

Uh-huh! ——

A familiar blue light flashed, and the long-awaited white-haired creature made its dazzling entrance.
Watching Uchiha Gin scolding his nephew, Senju Hishima, who had just landed with Nawaki, passively triggered his Yin-Yang Aura trait.
"Oh my, with your curly hair, you're really putting on airs!"

"If you can't speak, you can donate your vocal cords."

Glancing at the elegant white-haired man, Uchiha Gin retorted without hesitation.

"Fugaku! You really came!"

Nawaki, who had just recovered from the dizziness of the Flying Thunder God technique, immediately brightened up when he saw the well-equipped Fugaku.
"Hmph~ I just came to see you make a fool of yourself!"

Fugaku glanced at Nawaki, who was beaming with delight, then snorted coldly and turned his head away haughtily.
"who is she?"

Listening to Uchiha Gin and the unfamiliar white-haired stranger's skillful banter, Tsukihime's brows furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly. She then casually turned to Senju Itama beside her and asked,

"Don't worry about her, Fei Zhen is my own niece!"

Noticing Tsukihime's unnatural expression, Senju Itama chuckled and comforted her.
"They are not enemies, but allies."

"Your niece? Your niece is a bit..."

Upon hearing this, Tsukihime, whose Byakugan had been activated the entire time, began to show a strange expression.
Because of her Tenseigan, she can see things that ordinary people cannot.
Just like a person's soul,

In her view, her niece, Senju Hisa, was actually more mature in spirit than her aunt, Senju Itama. For a moment, Tsukihime couldn't tell who was older or younger.
"Something?"

"A bit precocious."

"Of course, that's always been the case with the Senju family bloodline."

Following Tsukihime's complex gaze, Senju Itama's eyes fell on Senju Hisana's swaying, voluptuous figure, and the pride on her small face was clearly visible.

"I see."

She lingered meaningfully on Senju Hisama's extremely bizarre soul form for a few seconds, then decided it was best not to tell the not-so-bright Senju Itama about this.
It's best to mind your own business and not interfere in other people's family affairs.

After exchanging a few words with Uchiha Gin as usual, Senju Hisama noticed unfamiliar eyes scrutinizing her. Following the gaze, she saw a strange white-haired woman.

However, she wasn't worried that the other party was some kind of spy from another village; the blatant Byakugan was the best proof of Konoha's legitimacy.
"Hey~ Haven't seen you in a few days, where did you pick up another Hyuga guy from? Aren't you afraid of getting hacked to pieces while walking at night?"

More than that, she was concerned about the relationship between Uchiha Gin and this Byakugan woman. Seeing how well the woman was chatting with her younger sister, she wondered if this despicable curly-haired woman was having an affair with another woman.

Itama is really something else. After all these years, not only has she not gotten any official recognition, but she hasn't even managed to consummate the marriage.
As more and more unfamiliar women appeared, Senju Hishima was genuinely worried for her sister.
It's just a curly-haired girl. If it were her, she could easily handle her, right?

At some point, Senju Hisana gradually and subconsciously forgot that she had once been male, and her mindset became increasingly feminine. Perhaps this was a side effect of the soul loss caused by repeatedly changing bodies.
If this situation continues, she will only go down the path of female depravity.

"Don't talk nonsense. We live in a society governed by the rule of law. Spreading rumors can land you in jail."

Uchiha Gin immediately defended his innocence with Tsukihime.
"Oh? Come to think of it, I've never seen this woman before. Is she really a member of the Hyuga clan?"

Senju Hisama rolled her eyes dramatically, then sized up the ethereal Tsukihime before her delicate brows suddenly furrowed.

With her photographic memory, she once participated in the ninja clan's population census.

In her memory, among the Hyuga clan members of that age, there was no one with such distinctive features as Tsukihime.

That's right, what she called her characteristic feature was Tsukihime's pure white hair.

"She's a distant relative from Tianyao Prison; she just came to visit recently."

Uchiha Gin lied without batting an eye, and simply pulled over the bewildered Hyuga brothers.

"If you don't believe me, ask them if Yueji is your great-aunt."

"Uh, yes or no?"

Under Senju Hisama's sharp gaze, Hiashi's speech became hesitant and stuttering.

So, is it or isn't it?

"Yes, yes, yes, Yue."

"Tsukihime".

Uchiha Gin kindly reminded him,
"Sister Yueji is our great-aunt!"

"what?"

So, is she the older sister or the great-aunt?
"Forget it, business matters."

Although she was very curious about Tsukihime's fluctuating seniority, Senju Hisa decided to put this less important matter aside for the time being because she had more important things to do. She turned to look at Nawaki, who was chatting happily with Fugaku and the others.

"Rope Tree, it's time for your assessment."

"Coming, coming~"

Nawaki immediately perked up and ran towards the examiner, Senju Hisama.

"Good luck, Nawaki-kun!" ヾ(°°)
"Hmph~ Don't cry if you fail."

"Rope Tree, once you pass the test, we'll treat you to a meal at Honey Ice City."

Unlike the Uchiha clan, who only talked the talk, the Hyuga brothers were all about action, spending lavishly to motivate Nawaki.

Upon hearing that they were going to dine at his former employer's restaurant, Rope Tree immediately tensed up, and the miserable memory of turning into a blender resurfaced.

"Um, can we go to another place? I think the Hualai Tu across the street is pretty good."

"But I heard that eating their fried chicken will make you squirt."

Hyuga Hizashi frowned. He had personally witnessed a delinquent with large tattoos on his arms, clutching his backside and demanding an explanation at Valais's shop. There were many other victims in similar situations.
"Don't worry, it won't happen anymore."

Nawaki glanced at Fugaku, whose face was ashen, and nodded with absolute certainty.

After the person responsible for the spraying leaves, Wallace's reputation should be able to slowly recover, right?
"Alright, let's all go to Hualaitu for fried chicken then!"

"Hey, let's not talk about chickens, let's all be civilized!"

Fugaku, his face stiff, suddenly raised his hand, his dim eyes filled with a pain the other children couldn't comprehend.
"Mikoto doesn't like greasy food, so how about I treat you? Let's go to the ramen shop next door and have a good meal!" (End of Chapter)
