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

So fast?
Could it have leaked halfway through?

Uchiha Gin looked at the two pairs of purple-haired giant thunderbolts returning hand in hand with a puzzled expression.
How could their relationship become so intimate in just the time it takes to go to the bathroom?

"It's okay if it leaks."

The kind-looking prison guard shook his head.
"I happen to have a spare blue and white one here... huh?"

He reached into his bag and rummaged through it; he could have as many underwear as he wanted.

However, just as he drew the blue and white corner, Senju Itama, standing to the side, instantly turned red and, without a word, launched a flying kick, slamming it hard into Uchiha Gin's lower back.
"Oh!"

"When did you steal this, you curly-haired hentai?"

She had been searching for these underwear for a long time, thinking she had accidentally stuffed them somewhere and forgotten them, but it turned out that someone had secretly kept them.
"Cough cough cough... This fell from the sky! Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation of the elderly."

Having finally managed to pry himself out of the wall, Uchiha Gin coughed violently a few times, and under Uchiha Ryōza's pained gaze, spat out a mouthful of colorful marble shards.
"It fell from the sky? It must have been hanging from the coat rack on the rooftop!"

"That's not."

"Suffer to death!"

……

Watching the two interacting "intimately," Hydrangea pursed her lips and turned to look at Uchiha Rinpoche beside her.
"Senior sister, is the teacher's daily life usually this... lively?"

Occasionally.

On the surface, he appeared calm and collected, but inwardly he was consumed by jealousy. Uchiha Shigeaki chuckled and shook his head.

As a "loser's apprentice," the gap between her and her best friend, who cheated on her, seems to be widening.
"Oh, is that so... Um, senior sister, you pinched me too hard."

Feeling Uchiha Osamu's grip on her hand tighten, Hydrangea, wincing in pain, couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

"Sorry, junior sister, I guess I've been eating too much beef head meat lately."

Uchiha Gin and Senju Itama, whose gaze hadn't left them the entire time, let go of their hands somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's okay, it's okay. What kind of beef is so strong? You can take me to try it next time, okay?"

"You can't eat NTR stuff."

"Senior sister? Junior sister?"

Uchiha Gin, whose hair was being pulled by Senju Itama, blinked in surprise. He hadn't said he wanted to accept the Hydrangea.
Moreover, even assuming the worst, simply showing a scar isn't enough to become an apprentice.

"I haven't fully seen your sincerity yet..."

His secret academy, Silver Three Three, has produced countless talents; even Kage-level is just the graduation threshold. Naturally, the tuition fees have skyrocketed. You'd have to offer a year's worth of sweet water as a gift to become an apprentice.

"I accepted the apprentice on behalf of my master."

Uchiha Rin gave the anxious Hydrangea a reassuring look.

"You unworthy disciple, why do you not bow to your master?"

With a small guarantee, then it's alright.

"Master!"

Encouraged by her senior sister's gaze, Hydrangea mustered her courage and bowed deeply.

"Eighth Brother!"

Uchiha Gin's expression turned serious, and he proactively reached out to help her up, creating a harmonious scene of master and disciple as close as family.

I'm doing my best to cooperate with your performance.
"Um... Master, could you please change your Dharma name?"

Being called "Old Eight" is a stain that can never be washed away. How can a virgin like her find a partner if she has such a name?
"You actually picked one?"

How dare a transfer student who got in through connections be so picky? Is he trying to sabotage the teacher?

"Thank you so much, teacher, for giving me this name!"

So be it, I'll just learn all of Uchiha Gin's techniques and then kick this cheap mentor to the curb.

Hydrangea believed that with her extraordinary talent, it wouldn't be long before she could squeeze every last penny out of the lonely old man before her.

"Eighth Brother, I sense that you have some bad thoughts."

Even without activating his superhuman senses, Uchiha Gin could still tell from Hyacinth's undisguised sinister smile that this rebellious disciple, whom the young administrator had taken in, definitely harbored a plot to betray his master and destroy his ancestors.

"what?"

Startled by Uchiha Gin's words, the guilty-looking Hydrangea froze on her face with a sinister smile.

"That's it?"

The three Uchiha Hikaru who had been secretly gossiping nearby, saw Hyakki Yako's foolish behavior and all smiled with relief.
They had initially thought this woman, who proclaimed herself the greatest technology master in the Land of Rain, might do something to threaten them.

In retrospect, they had worried too much.
"Lord Lao, this wooden bead has ulterior motives. Why don't you hand her over to me? I'll definitely pry open all her dishonest mouths!"

Reimu, groveling behind Uchiha Gin, rubbed her hands together, practically wanting to tattoo the words "lackey" onto her belly.
Uchiha Gin hadn't encountered such utter shamelessness in a long time, and couldn't help but nod in approval.
"Good dog~ Good dog~"

"Wang Wang!"

"The shrine's funding has been doubled!"

"Ow~"

"That witch, Serenity..."

Looking at Reimu, who had transformed into a loyal dog, Uchiha Hikaru's gaze sharpened. Compared to Hydrangea, this shrine maiden, skilled in agile movement, seemed to pose a greater threat.
Her position as the number one lightning bolt in Konoha is in jeopardy.

Master!

Little Miroku blushed deeply with embarrassment. Reimu's shameless behavior had caused indelible emotional damage to the young shrine maiden.
"Didn't you say that no matter how poor a person is, they shouldn't sell themselves?"

Reimu, still immersed in her wonderful fantasies of the future after receiving a doubling of funding, heard her little apprentice's words. She wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and earnestly began to correct herself on the famous quotes she had once used.
"That's the rule for amounts under 100,000."

That's right, the Red and White Shrine Maiden's integrity is only worth 100,000 taels.

"I'm not a wooden bead!"

Born into a prestigious family in the Land of Rain, Hydrangea had never suffered such humiliation. Little did she know that she had boarded a pirate ship of prison money, and the wonderful days to come were yet to come!

“You’re not Muzhu, you’re Lao Ba.”

"Yes, I'm the eighth one!"

"I love eating the secret-recipe mini burgers."

"I, Lao Ba, love the secret-recipe mini burgers!"

"..."

Seeing Hydrangea being led astray by Uchiha Gin in just a few words, the people around her closed their eyes in despair.
Another idiot has joined the Yin family.

The group of people who had long been corrupted by Uchiha Gin blinked in confusion.

Wait, why did I say "again"?

"Alright, that means you've successfully become an apprentice."

Satisfied, Uchiha Gin, who had branded his soul with a unique silver mark, warmly invited the eight hydrangeas who were chanting slogans along with him to sit down.

"Come on, tell me what you want to learn?" "I want to learn everything!"

Fortunately, the hydrangea did not lose its original intention; its initial goal of squeezing every last penny out of the prison must never be changed.
"I didn't expect you to be such a gluttonous wooden bead."

"Ok?"

"No, I mean, the gluttonous Eighth Brother."

Gin Uchiha, having quickly changed his tune, smiled and placed the Chakra Fruit he was holding in front of Hydrangea.

"Would you like to try this?"

"No, I'm afraid I'll overeat."

Hydrangea shook her head, clearly tempted, but refused. This thing was made from the chakra of tailed beasts; eating it would be fatal.
"It's okay, trying it won't make you pregnant."

Without a word, Uchiha Gin seized the moment when Hydrangea shook her head and shoved the Chakra Fruit into her mouth.

"what?"

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, Hydrangea felt a surge of hot, warm current flow down her throat and into her stomach.

"Gudu~"

Contrary to expectations, this unfamiliar warm current flowed gently through her meridians, transforming from a slow, trickling stream into a surging torrent.

Clenching her fist in disbelief, Hydrangea attempted to circulate this chakra.

"boom!"

A tangible, red, jelly-like energy emanated from the body, transforming into a semi-transparent chakra cloak.

"This is?"

The hydrangea, brimming with power, felt she could now kill a Jonin with a single punch.
Moreover, this feeling is not merely a figment of the imagination, but is based on real, tangible power.

"This is a chakra solidification technique that I have been researching for many years."

Uchiha Gin smiled modestly, making no mention of his plagiarism of Jigen.
"This technique is powerful, Master!"

The hydrangea, having tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, wore a sickly smile, but that was to be expected; anyone who ate too much of this fruit would go mad.
The first person in the ninja world to eat this fruit is still lying on the moon~
Wang Liang: Damn it, I want to eat fried chicken, you bastard!

"Huh? Curly-haired baboon, all you do all day is eat and sleep, and when you go out you go straight to pachinko parlors, and you only come home after you've lost everything. Where do you find the time to do any research?"

"I've just been working hard in places you don't know about. Have you ever seen the Hokage Rock at four in the morning?"

"Who could see clearly at that early hour?"

Four o'clock?

Are you going to cosplay before the sun has even risen?
Do you think you're Uchiha Kin?

Or is it the Uchiha Sanpang?
"..."

Tomorrow I'll have Bai Mao set up spotlights on top of Fire Shadow Rock.

Ignoring Senju Itama who was undermining him, Uchiha Gin turned to look at Hydrangea, who was engrossed in external forces, and glanced at the time.
"Time's up."

Three minutes have passed, and the effects of the medicine should have worn off.

Sure enough, after a few seconds, the chakra cloak on Hydrangea's body gradually faded until it disappeared completely.
"Power, my power!"

Reaching out to grasp at the void, trying to retrieve the hydrangea that had lost its power, its eyes filled with terror.

Was the force too great?

Uchiha Gin shook his head, raised a finger and pressed it against Hydrangea's fair forehead. A cool breath flowed in, and the madness in the other's eyes gradually dissipated.
"Hmm... what just happened?"

Hydrangea, clutching her aching head, looked on in pain as Uchiha Gin withdrew his finger.
"You're high on drugs."

"Are you high on drugs?"

With her brows furrowed, she hesitated for a moment.
"Could it be the fruit from just now?"

"That's right, follow me, and you'll have plenty of good things to eat in the future."

Uchiha Gin patted her on the shoulder, giving her a "you've hit the jackpot" look.

"Now you feel the terror of my chakra solidification technique, don't you?"

Hydrangea glanced at the dirty handprint on her shoulder, calmed herself down, and sensed the condition of her internal meridians. Her face paled with astonishment.
My fragile meridians, aside from being a little weak, were surprisingly undamaged.
How did you do that?

The side effects of the nebula gas she created were already quite low, but Hanzo still suffered irreversible damage to his body after using it. The reason she sought to become Hanzo's apprentice was to find a way to reduce the side effects of the nebula gas.
"Now that you are my disciple, I will naturally not hold back my knowledge. But before answering your question, could you please introduce your work to me?"

He would teach this technique to Hydrangea sooner or later, but what intrigued Gin Uchiha even more was how she created the Knight System, and how Hanzo's half-abdomen was transplanted.
"It all started a few years ago on a rainy night."

Hydrangea paused for a moment, then slowly began to recount the events that had transpired since she first saw the belly presented by the Rain Ninja.
Her storytelling skills were quite good; not only did the incredibly curious young Miroku listen with great interest, but even the aged and faded Uchiha Ryōzashi didn't fall asleep due to the lengthy recollections.
"You mean, that half of your mouth, you sewed it on?"

Uchiha Gin looked at the delicate and frail Hydrangea from head to toe in disbelief, wondering where she got the audacity to be so bold. Wasn't she afraid of being rejected and dying?
"I had hundreds of compatibility tests done before the surgery, and Hanzo's physique can definitely withstand it."

"That's because his birth chart is strong."

What do you think the abdomen is? That's an artificial life form cultivated from the cells of the Ten-Tails. Only the cells of Hashirama Senju could suppress it.
The reason Hanzo was able to dart around a bit after the transplant surgery was not only due to good luck, but also because he was able to prolong his life thanks to the tailed beast chakra extracted using the immature technique of the Eight Flowers.

Of course, if Uchiha Gin knew that the half-eaten stomach wasn't a backlash from Hanzo because he was high on salamander poison, he'd definitely have to get a cup of salamander sauce to taste it.
"Just tell me directly, what symptoms is he experiencing now?"

Based on his experience, Hanzo was most likely having a relapse; otherwise, Chiyo wouldn't have personally written a letter introducing the Hydrangea to come. After all, without Hanzo as a key player, the Iwa ninja's conquest of the Land of Rain was practically a matter of time.

"Lord Hanzo, he..."

Uchiha Gin's professionalism was beyond question, and Hyacinth Flower had no intention of hiding it any longer. After hesitating for a few seconds, she spoke in a low voice,

"He seems to be becoming less and less like a human being."

"Has he lost all humanity?"

Gin raised an eyebrow in surprise. He had thought Hanzo would at least be paralyzed, incontinent, or suffer the fate of being corrupted. He hadn't expected him to simply lose his humanity.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it."

Hanzo was just an ordinary human being; it was incredibly fortunate that he didn't die suddenly after the abdominal transplant.
In its current state, it's probably about to be possessed by the belly. If Hydrangea rushes back now, she might still be able to trick the other party into revealing the location of her hidden stash of money.

"Is there really no way to remedy this?"

Hydrangea felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this. Hanzo was the pillar of Amegakure; without him, Amegakure had no future.
"Well, there is a way to do it."

Looking at his pitiful new disciple, Hanzo, Gin Uchiha stroked his chin. For an ordinary person, Hanzo was indeed hopeless, but for him, this wasn't particularly difficult.

"really?"

"but."

"Our Rain Village is rich! I now hold the reins of the village's finances!"

"Hey! Good old apprentice, you should have said so earlier. We can talk about the expenses and stuff after this is all settled."

Unexpectedly receiving this windfall, Uchiha Gin coughed lightly. His eyes, fixed on Hydrangea, the richest woman in the Land of Rain, gradually gleamed with fervent desire. "With the reward in place, I can even create a cyborg for you!"

"Money is not the issue; what is the method?"

"As the saying goes, 'No meat, no life,' and 'mechanical ascension' is the only way to preserve Hanzo's memories of being human as much as possible. We must completely transform his body into a mechanical life form compatible with his stomach while his human consciousness hasn't completely disappeared." (End of Chapter)
