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

Sunagakure Village
Glug~ Glug~ Glug~
Gently stroking the culture chamber filled with an unknown pale green liquid, Hatake Sakumo watched as bubbles brushed against Yoru's delicate sleeping face. Even this usually ruthless and cold-blooded ninja couldn't help but soften his gaze.
"Yoko, hang in there a little longer, we're coming to rescue you right away!"

Behind Sakumo Hatake, who was gazing lovingly at his wife, Gin Uchiha curiously examined the sophisticated equipment that filled the entire room. He hadn't expected Sunagakure to be so wealthy; this thing must have cost a fortune to make.
"With such a powerful medical life support device in your home, are you planning to pay the electricity bill yourself or have it reimbursed?"

After a moment, Uchiha Gin looked away from the four large characters "Bo Zhi Guo Guo" engraved on the nameplate and asked in a serious tone.

"Well, since Aqi's wife is still under Yoruha's command, all expenses can be reimbursed."

Xiu, glancing at Hatake Sakumo who was busy chatting with his wife, stepped forward to answer Uchiha Gin's questions.
"So this kid is using a public vehicle for personal purposes?"

She's really playing hard to get, dating someone with village assets.

"Uh"

Xiu scratched his head awkwardly. Uchiha Gin's words were rough but reasonable, but wasn't this way of saying it a bit too rough?

Seeing that Xiu had absolutely no sense of humor and couldn't even do the basic straight man act, Uchiha Gin shook his head in disappointment.

"Alright, enough joking around. Step aside and let me see your wife."

He stepped forward and shoved the seemingly affectionate Sakumo Hatake aside, his eyes falling on the sleeping Yoruha, his gaze instantly sharpening.

"This puppet."

"Master Yin, what about Ji Ye?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin's furrowed brows, Hatake Sakumo, who had just stood still, felt a sudden tightness in his heart. Could it be that even Grandpa Gin couldn't do anything about it?

"This puppet's model is pretty good!"

"."

Hatake Sakumo, who nearly stumbled and fell, was speechless. As expected of Gintoki, even at a time like this, his focus was still so novel.
"Thank you for the compliment."

But he still nodded politely, which could be considered a compliment to his wife.

After admiring the puppet's appearance, Uchiha Gin turned his attention to its bulging abdomen, a look of astonishment crossing his face. Through simple perception, he could indeed detect the aura of new life within it.

"No, are you serious?"

With a strange look in his eyes, Uchiha Gin glanced at the two curious children beside him.

"You're only disrupting my train of thought by staying here. Go outside and wait until I call you back in."

"Yes!"

Xiu nodded hastily and reached out to pull Hatake Sakumo away, only to find that he couldn't budge him no matter how hard he tried.
"You don't even trust me?"

Uchiha Gin turned his head away, looking at the somewhat conflicted Hatake Sakumo with a mocking gaze.
"Yes."

Yes, Grandpa Gintoki is even more reliable than the Third Hokage.

"please!"

Once he realized what was happening, Hatake Sakumo bowed formally and left the room with Shu.

The bystanders dispersed, and Uchiha Gin slowly closed his eyes.

"open!"

When he opened his eyes again, his dark eyes had been tinged with a deep, dark blue.

From the perspective of his mutated Byakugan, Uchiha Gin finally saw the puppet before him clearly. Sakumo's cybernetic wife's internal structure was no different from that of an ordinary humanoid puppet. The only difference was that expensive artificial silicone was used as the material to make the skin feel more human-like.
"Oh?"

His gaze was quickly drawn to the power unit located in the puppet's heart, or more precisely, to the pale purple crystal embedded within it.

"Dragon Vein?"

Uchiha Gin would never mistake that familiar aura; the power source for this puppet was none other than the chakra of the Dragon Vein.
This reminded him of the puppeteer Centipede from the Lost Tower movie, who traveled back in time and used a puppet army powered by the dragon vein.
"Does it have some special amplification effect?"

Nodding thoughtfully, Uchiha Gin's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the new life that piqued his curiosity the most.
"Is this...the uterus?"

The result was indeed beyond his expectations; inside Yoru's lower abdomen, there was an organ responsible for nurturing new life.
"wrong!"

But he soon realized something was wrong. This organ, which was imprisoning new life, was less a uterus and more like a culture chamber used to cultivate clones.

Could it be that...?

Uchiha Gin frowned, raised his hand and placed it on the glass cover, slowly releasing Yin-Yang energy.

As the power of Yin and Yang seeped into Yoru's power furnace, the dim dragon vein crystal shone with an unprecedented brilliance.
"Beep beep beep!"

After three soft beeps, the life support system automatically entered hibernation mode, and Yoruichiro, with the power furnace fully charged, restarted.
With a slight flutter of its damp eyelashes, the white-haired puppet inside the incubation chamber slowly awoke, its gaze meeting Uchiha Gin's through the glass, its deep black eyes filled with a human-like question.
"."

Because it was immersed in liquid, Gin Uchiha couldn't hear the sound that Yoruha made when it opened its mouth.

But he could still guess what the other person was saying through lip reading.
Who the hell are you?

After finishing his analysis, Uchiha Gin's eye twitched slightly.
"I must be seeing things."

Looking at the puppet's aloof and world-weary face, Uchiha Gin comforted himself, thinking that this puppet's character was definitely the kind of likable, icy beauty.

With these thoughts in mind, Uchiha Gin raised his hand and pressed the release button beside him. As the liquid inside the culture chamber was drained, the soaking wet Yoru staggered out.

Hello, I am...

Seeing this, Uchiha Gin quickly stepped forward. After all, the other person was pregnant, so he wanted to lend a hand if he could.

"You lecherous curly-haired stinky bastard, who told you to keep staring at me like that? Believe me or not, I'll gouge out your dead fish eyes and turn them into a hand-held item!"

However, the next second, the swaying Yoshiha slapped away Uchiha Gin's large hand, her delicate face clearly showing disgust.

"."

Stunned by the barrage of words, Uchiha Gin incredulously picked at his ear.

这 是
A foul-mouthed robot produced in Zaun?
"Calm down, calm down. It must be because the system has been dormant for too long. Just run an antivirus scan and it will be fine."

Taking a deep breath and mentally preparing himself, Uchiha Gin looked at the unpredictable Yoriha and was about to ask about the situation when the other party preemptively spoke.
"I'll Shark Lemon"

"Okay, shut up."

Uchiha Gin covered his forehead and raised his hand in a fist. Several dark figures rose from the ground and tightly bound the foul-mouthed Yoruichi.
It seems this virus is quite powerful, judging by the vulgar language used.

"I'm the repairman your husband hired. If you want your baby to be born safely, use polite language."

Seeing that YoRHa, bound by the shadow, was struggling more and more violently, with mechanical grinding sounds coming from his joints, Uchiha Gin finally flicked his finger and pulled the shadow tentacle out of YoRHa's mouth, his tone full of threat.

When the topic turned to Sakumo Hatake and his child, the foul-mouthed Yoruichi finally quieted down, and a glint began to flicker in his eyes, perhaps as he censored certain vulgar words.

"Were you sent by the master?"

"Otherwise what? Don't you even look at my face?"

Uchiha Gin nodded, and as he spoke, he covered his deadpan eyes with his fingers. Yoriha squinted and scanned his face, a faint look of doubt quickly appearing on her face.

"Master? When did you get this cheap perm and dye job? It's so tasteless."

Uh... This sentence doesn't contain any profanity, but it still sounds pretty offensive!
"Stop. Now I'll ask you a question and you answer it."

With a twitching expression, Uchiha Gin lowered his finger, pulled over a chair, and prepared to start digging deeper into the matter.

"Huh? It's not the master, thank goodness~ thank goodness~ If I had this hairstyle, how could I ever face anyone again?"

"."

Is this never going to end?
"Name." "Yoyo."

"age."

Nine months.

"Factory serial number".

"Battler combat-type puppet, number 2".

Tell me what's wrong with your stomach?

After verifying the patient's information, Uchiha Gin, who was holding a pen, pointed to Yoshiha's protruding belly.

"The battery is bulging."

"Believe it or not, I'll reset you to factory settings?"

"It is the master's child."

Uchiha Gin's threat was indeed effective; Yoriha, who had been hesitant and evasive, immediately gave a lightning-fast reply.
Who is the child's mother?

As we all know, no matter how advanced a puppet is, it can only be equipped with parts that are equivalent to reproductive organs. As non-organic life forms, they can at most try their best to imitate, but not perfectly replicate, human reproductive behaviors.
"Also the master."

Sure enough.

Having obtained the answer he wanted, Uchiha Gin nodded slightly. The YoRHa before him, both its upper and lower body, possessed the same structure as a perfect human female body.
It also contains a fertile ground for life within its body. Perhaps even its creators were unaware that this organ, modeled after a female uterus, could perform such an amazing cell cloning process.

After all, the original purpose of creating puppets was to assist in combat, not to mate. I don't think anyone would attack their own puppets, right?

Creak~
"Family member, please come in for a moment."

Sakumo Hatake, who was pacing back and forth outside the door, saw Gin Uchiha's head peeking out of the room. A look of joy flashed across his face. Judging from his tone, it seemed that both mother and child were safe.
Sakumo Hatake strode into the house and immediately saw Yoriha standing obediently in the center of the room. The guilt he had suppressed for so long instantly turned into tears that burst forth.

"Yo-ha!"

"Master, your father isn't dead yet, why are you crying over lemons?"

The reunion of human and machine should have been a joyous occasion, but Kiyo's expressionless reply caused Uchiha Gin, who had been enthusiastically listening nearby, to freeze in shock.
No, you're so foul-mouthed to everyone?

"Um... I accidentally set it up like this, and for some reason, I haven't been able to correct it."

Noticing Uchiha Gin's strange gaze, Hatake Sakumo chuckled and scratched his head, then turned to Yoriha and gave her the order to stop his foul mouth.

Do you like being criticized?
"I see, your XP is quite rare."

Uchiha Gin didn't understand this kind of masochistic behavior, but he respected it.

"I hope Yoshiha didn't offend you, Grandpa Gin?"

With no outsiders present, Sakumo Hatake abandoned his previous restraint and addressed him by his usual title in a relaxed manner.

"What do you say?"

Uchiha Gin couldn't help but roll his eyes. He never expected that among the brats, the one who would ruin his reputation the most was the repressed pervert Hatake Sakumo.

"You still know I'm your grandfather? Can't you do anything decent while wearing my face?"

"Isn't this just a coincidence? I didn't know things would turn out this way."

Sakumo Hatake scratched his head sheepishly.

"Alright, we'll settle this score when you get back to the village. Now I have some good news and even better news for you. Which do you want to hear first?"

"what?"

Blinking in confusion, Sakumo Hatake was completely bewildered. These were all good news; did it matter who came first?

"Let's start with some good news."

"You are indeed the child's father."

"Uh"

"What about something better?"

"Still a mother."

Seeing the suspicious look on Hatake Sakumo's face, Uchiha Gin smiled and unleashed a devastating thunderbolt.
"Why!!!"

After a brief silence, Sakumo Hatake let out the most terrified scream of his life.

"Ah Qi! Are you alright?!"

Hearing the commotion, Xiu, who was waiting outside, was startled and quickly knocked on the door to inquire. Uchiha Gin opened the door a crack, smiled, and waved at him.

"It's nothing, he's just too excited, too surprised, and too happy!"

"Phew, I'm glad you're alright, Grandpa Yin. You fixed it already?"

"These are all minor issues, no different from repairing household appliances."

"what?"

Ignoring the astonished Xiu, Uchiha Gin slammed the door shut, then turned to look at Hatake Sakumo, who was holding Yoriha's hand and had an incredulous expression.

"How's this good news?"

Feeling the familiar warmth from Yoruha's tiny silicone hand, Hatake Sakumo asked in a trembling voice,
"what is going on?"

“Scientific matters are a bit difficult to explain to you old-school ninjas. In short, the child in her womb is cloned based on the genes you injected. From a physiological point of view, you are its biological father.”

"So this child has absolutely no relation to Yoruha?"

"How could there not be? The child's growth and development depend on her energy. She is like the child's mechanical mother."

"Wait, let me catch my breath."

Sakumo Hatake was completely bewildered by Gin Uchiha's absurd theories; terms like "biological father" and "mechanical mother" were entirely outside his area of ​​knowledge.

"If Orochimaru had been given this question, he would have handed it in long ago."

Uchiha Gin looked at the dazed Hatake Sakumo with a sigh, shaking his head in disappointment.

"I'm sorry, this does indeed involve areas where my knowledge is lacking."

Looking at Yoruha's worried expression, Sakumo Hatake continued in a heavy tone,
"But no matter what, Yoruha will always be my wife."

"Dog Repair Gold Sama~"

"Okay, stop showing off your love, let me see her instruction manual."

Young people these days are so hard to control; they even dare to show affection while holding a baby.

"Wait a moment, let me look for it."

A few minutes later, a copy of "The Maintenance and Care Guide for Battler Combat Puppets" was handed to him.
Swish swish swish~
The content wasn't extensive, and Uchiha Gin quickly found an analytical diagram of the internal structure of the puppet in YoRHa's version.

Wow~ Oppai's silicone content is quite high!
"what?"

However, when he saw the diagram of his lower body, his pupils contracted sharply, and then he looked up with a serious expression at Yoshiha, who was lying happily in Sakumo's arms.

"Not capable of cloning? Then this child is..." (End of Chapter)
