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

Fortunately, Uchiha Gin still had some principles and wouldn't subject male characters to extreme humiliation, which allowed Uchiha Madara's trio to hold onto their last line of defense as men.
Even though it was just a symbolic threat, the Uchiha Madara brothers, whose childhood trauma had been triggered, were still shaken for a long time. The two trembled and huddled together, their faces frighteningly pale.
Black Zetsu has a high threshold for restraint. After Uchiha Gin was freed from his restraints, he obediently squatted to the side, his lowered eyelids filled with hatred for a certain curly-haired man.

Why isn't this Uchiha dead yet?
He couldn't understand how Uchiha Gin, who had endured a series of tragic experiences since the Warring States period—the death of his parents, the destruction of his Mangekyou Sharingan, amnesia, the complete destruction of his body's meridians, and being struck into a deep coma by an unknown Senju—could now be jumping around energetically in front of him.
Not only that, but its strength was also strangely baffling to him.
Logically speaking, Uchiha Gin's skill level is at most that of a Jonin with three tomoe. Putting aside the bloodline suppression, any one of the three people present should be able to defeat him.

But if he remembered correctly, when Black Zetsu was ambushed by Wood Release, he did try to use his full strength, but he was still easily humiliated by the tentacles.
In terms of Wood Release alone, Gin Uchiha is no weaker than Hashirama Senju, the reincarnation of Ashura.

No, I have to stay away from that curly-haired guy!
Black Zetsu is now unsure of Uchiha Gin's strength. Recalling how he had tricked him in the past, fearing retaliation, he decided to stay away from Konoha in the future to avoid delaying his mission to save his mother.

"When did you come back?"

Uchiha Gin leisurely pulled a lollipop from his pocket, unwrapped it, and put it in his mouth. As he gently sucked on it, his gaze shifted to the pale-faced Uchiha Madara brothers.

"My cousin Huihui just arrived today."

Madara Uchiha swallowed hard, forcibly erasing the terrifying memory of being entangled by tentacles from his mind. After taking a deep breath, he answered tremblingly.

"Back on business?"

"That's it."

After calming down, Uchiha Dian nodded, his face gradually regaining color. He stretched his stiff legs and looked at Uchiha Gin with a serious expression.
"We have some questions we'd like to ask you, cousin."

Can you help me?
Seeing the eager look in his younger cousin's eyes, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow. Instead of pressing for answers, he turned to question Sasuke Black Zetsu, who was crouching in the corner with his head in his hands.

"I know you're in a hurry, but before that, I want to ask you something: Hashirama has been imprisoned for so many years without going home. Aren't you afraid that Lady Momoka will remarry?"

From Uchiha Gin's perspective, it's impossible for him to know Sasuke Black Zetsu. If he remained overly calm and didn't press the issue, it would seem rather abrupt.

"what?"

Realizing the question was directed at him, Black Zetsu paused slightly before turning his gaze to Madara Uchiha beside him.

"Big cousin, you've mistaken him for someone else. He's not Haxi Hot Mom."

Madara Uchiha stepped forward and earnestly recounted the entire process of his encounter with Black Zetsu, specifically noting that Black Zetsu was a very trustworthy partner.
"So, he's a clone of Hashirama who was exonerated after being imprisoned!"

Uchiha Gin nodded with a look of sudden realization, the sigh in his eyes clearly visible. His superb acting skills left the three people present without a single flaw.
"Erzhuzi, hurry up and greet your older cousin!"

Madara Uchiha, letting out a long sigh of relief, quickly reached out and patted Sasuke Black Zetsu, signaling him to be more polite.

"Greetings, cousin."

Reluctantly, Black Zetsu gritted his teeth. In order to continue infiltrating Madara Uchiha's inner circle, he could only feign excitement and step forward to bow to Madara.

"I've seen you in Hashirama Senju's memories, and I've long admired your high moral character."

Not only that, he deliberately adopted a humble attitude in order to lull Uchiha Gin into a false sense of security and lower his guard.
"Oh, you're such an honest person. I like honest people like you."

Uchiha Gin nodded with a half-smile, and Black Zetsu immediately felt relieved, forcing a smile as he accepted the label of an honest man.

"Speak, what do you want to ask me?"

For Madara Uchiha, who has been wandering for many years, to come back to find me, he must have encountered a thorny problem.

"Big brother, did you make Izuna's driver?"

"That's right, speaking of which, my inspiration for creating the Diend Driver came from you."

Gin Uchiha glanced at Izuna, who was squatting on the ground, and replied with a smile.

"I heard you're now the second-generation Decade rider, not bad at all~"

"Big cousin, please stop making fun of me. I still don't understand the Imperial Knight System."

Madara Uchiha pulled out the white Decade Driver with a bitter expression, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"I just want you to help me figure out how I should use this power."

"This is unlike you. You always say that 'real combat is the only standard for testing the strength of a force.'"

Taking the Decade Driver he had given away, Uchiha Gin, his face full of curiosity, asked in return,

"Because my older brother can't beat me."

Izuna, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly interjected, practically screaming "I'm awesome!" Madara Uchiha turned and glared at him, his face visibly turning ashen.
"You little brat, you launched a sneak attack, and even used a human wave tactic; I wasn't paying attention for a moment."

The battle when he reunited with Izuna was an indelible stain on his life.

Even a fart is still a fart!

Izuna stood up, arguing for his hard-won victory, while fawningly addressing Uchiha Gin.
"Big cousin, the driver you made is really useful!"

Seeing this, Uchiha Gin, eager to hear the juicy gossip, waved his hand, signaling the two brothers to stop arguing and quickly tell him what had happened.

The two brothers exchanged a glance and began to tell their stories, one after the other.

At the time, Madara Uchiha, sensing that he was being followed, assumed it was just a clueless thief behind him and didn't take it seriously. He casually flicked out a few Susanoo magatama to destroy evidence and then ignored it.

The newcomer not only survived, but also appeared wearing a blue knight's armor he had never seen before.
Madara Uchiha instantly became alert.

Could it be Cixian's new technology?

Out of caution, he immediately inserted the card and transformed, revealing the magenta Decade.
However, before he could utter a question, the blue knight opposite him launched the first attack, unleashing countless light bullets from his gun while two Tailed Beast Cards, instantly recognizable to Madara Uchiha, appeared in his hand.
What happened next completely shattered Madara Uchiha's worldview.
The blue knight actually summoned the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails knights by swiping his card, instantly turning the battlefield into a three-on-one situation.
Madara Uchiha was not intimidated and fought three opponents in a fierce and evenly matched battle. However, the more he fought, the more alarmed he became. The tailed beast riders summoned by the blue knight were not just for show, but were replicas of the original riders in strength.
After several rounds, he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

But that's not the point.
Compared to the shock of the Blue Knight summoning the Tailed Beast Knight, what surprised Madara Uchiha even more was that the other party seemed to know him very well.

His every fighting intention was anticipated, as if he were fighting an enemy with a precognitive ability.
Finally, after several tens of minutes of fierce fighting, just as Madara Uchiha raised his hand to unleash his ultimate attack, the blue knight seized the opportunity and instantly appeared behind him.
Unaware of this, Madara Uchiha had just begun to smile victoriously when he was suddenly attacked from behind, falling flat on his face.
With his transformation forcibly canceled and his situation averted, Madara Uchiha decides to go all out, unleashing the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan to utterly crush the mysterious enemy before him.
Having had his fill of fighting, Izuna dared not continue to show off. He hastily withdrew his summoned two Tailed Beast Riders, then deactivated his transformation in front of Uchiha Madara, revealing a smug face.

Thus, Izuna Uchiha achieved his first and only underdog victory.

"It's alright~ Your illness with such a big flaw has been there for more than just a day or two. Izuna did win dishonorably, but you didn't lose unjustly either."

After patiently listening to his two cousins ​​recount their first knightly battle, Uchiha Gin stroked his chin and offered his fair and impartial judgment.
"So the main reason I came here is to ask you, my cousin, for help reinforcing the back of my Decade armor." Uh...
You came all this way back, kid, just for this?
Uchiha Gin scratched his head helplessly, then stated that the Decade Driver was not his creation and he did not have the authority to modify the original code data.
"Is there anything you can do?"

Madara Uchiha couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. His back was his only weakness; if he could overcome it, he would be the strongest knight.

P.S.: Apart from the previous generation of Decade Knights.

"Big brother, you don't need to worry, I will be your strong support from now on!"

Seeing his older brother's dejected face, Izuna straightened his expression and stepped forward.

Black Zetsu blinked, seeing this as a golden opportunity to show his loyalty, and quickly stepped forward.

"Ban, leave the rest to me!"

"You two."

Sensing the sincerity in their eyes, it would be impossible for Madara Uchiha not to be moved.

Will the flaws behind him ultimately be filled by bonds?

Just as the three were about to hug each other and shout about their youth, Uchiha Gin, who was pretending to tinker with the Decade Driver, suddenly looked up.
"Big cousin! Although I can't modify the original code of the Decade Driver, I think I can connect an external enhancement device to it."

"Go find somewhere cool to stay!"

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha's expression froze for a moment, then returned to its usual coldness. As he spoke, he deliberately distanced himself from Izuna and the other person.

I can handle my own affairs; you two shouldn't get involved.

"Then I'll leave it to you, cousin."

"Okay, give me a little time, I'll make one for you."

Having agreed to this major project that would take several minutes, Uchiha Gin stuffed the Decade Driver into his bag and turned to ask,

"Do any of you have anything else to do?"

"I am fine."

Black Zetsu was the first to shake his head. He wasn't from Konoha at all, and if it weren't for Madara Uchiha, he wouldn't have even bothered coming here.

"Uh"

"Little cousin, aren't you going to see Fugaku? He's been incredibly filial lately."

Seeing Izuna's hesitant expression, Uchiha Gin "kindly" reminded him,

"No need, I've already taught that brat a lesson!"

Mentioning his good-for-nothing youngest son, Uchiha Izuna was so angry he could have teeth.
If he hadn't come back once before out of concern for his son, his treasured collection of Liu Bei artifacts would have been embezzled by that brat Fugaku.

Fugaku: That's called inheritance, do you understand inheritance?

"How is everything in the clan?"

Madara Uchiha remained silent for a long time before finally asking the question that had been weighing on his mind for so long.

"It's alright. Setsuna is in charge now. Apart from talking a lot during meetings, there aren't any major problems. By the way, he's doing a good job with the family's new business. You've probably eaten pig's head meat from our Uchiha meat processing plant before, right?"

"I've eaten it."

He nodded with a complicated expression.
When he first saw the pig's head bearing the Uchiha clan crest that Erzhuzi brought back, he thought it was a vandalism project by the Senju clan, who still harbored malicious intentions.
Only after Erzhuzi told him that it was indeed raw pork sold by the Uchiha clan did he barely suppress his urge to return to the village and settle scores.

"The meat looks good, doesn't it? I put a lot of effort into it!"

The rapid development of the Uchiha meat processing plant owes much to him, the behind-the-scenes worker.
"It does taste very delicious, much better than Shimura's."

This time, not only Madara Uchiha, but even Black Zetsu, who was in charge of cooking, nodded in agreement.

While slicing the meat, he could clearly feel the difference in quality between the two types of meat. The Uchiha clan's meat was firmer and more springy, with a more beautiful marbling.

"That's because that brat Setsuna used the new technology I developed!"

Uchiha Gin chuckled, his face full of mystery.

Let's set aside the trivial details of pig farming for now and leave the specifics to the younger generation tasked with this mission.
Looking at his older cousin, who was Konoha's top developer, Madara Uchiha hesitated for a moment, then, as if having made up his mind, slowly reached into his robes.
"Big cousin, actually, there's another thing we need to do after we came back."

Under Uchiha Gin's questioning gaze, he pulled out a transparent jar made of an unknown material, filled with pills that emitted various kinds of light.
"This is."

Uchiha Gin frowned; this was the second time he had seen this thing recently.
"Where did you get so many of these things?"

"Do you know this thing?"

Judging from Uchiha Gin's expression, he was clearly familiar with the object in his hand. Uchiha Madara immediately blinked in confusion.

"Yes, I once dug something similar out of the Second Kazekage's body."

Looking at the jar full of chakra pills in his younger cousin's hand, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but wonder how many mature clones his cousin had just killed.
"Then it must be the same thing."

Madara Uchiha nodded upon hearing this, gently shaking the jar in his hand. Hearing the crisp sound, the seriousness on his face deepened.

"These are all spoils I obtained from the cloned Another Riders I defeated. Each one contains extremely terrifying Tailed Beast power. If it weren't for this jar made of special material, they would have gone berserk the moment they were born."

He had witnessed the crimson tailed beast transformed from an unrestrained chakra core, and knew all too well that if such a thing was not properly protected, it would become a terrifying force that wreaked havoc on the region.
"What do you mean by taking this out?"

Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow. He knew the strange nature of this kind of pill and would usually choose to destroy it, but judging from his cousin's expression, it seemed he wanted to make use of it.

"I'd like to ask my older cousin to help me study this thing and see if I can harness its power for my own use." (End of Chapter)
