Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

Chapter 114 Confirmed Evidence of the Warring States Period Water Ghost

Thousand-Handed Buddha?

Upon hearing this name, Uchiha Gin's brows furrowed deeply.

A few years ago, in order to witness the classic scene between his older cousin and Hasi's hot mom, the arrogant Uchiha Gin was punched into the ICU by Senju Butsuma.

Even now, his forearms still ache slightly whenever he thinks about it.

"Didn't he die of illness? What does that have to do with the Feathered Robe Clan?"

The news of Senju Butsuma's death was not concealed by the Senju clan; on the contrary, it seemed to be spread.

The Senju clan is now shrinking its battle lines partly to return and mourn their deceased clan leader.

However, now that Gin Uchiha thinks about it, he also feels that something is vaguely off.

He had met Thousand-Hand Buddha once. At that time, the guy was as strong as an ox and he had never heard of any hidden illness. As a member of the Thousand-Hand clan with vigorous vitality, how could he have died of illness so easily after only a few years?

"Senju Butsuma did not die of illness, but was ambushed and killed by the head of the Hagoromo clan and several elders."

Uchiha Tajima narrowed his eyes and calmly revealed this secret.

???

Are the Feathered Robe Clan members really that fierce?

Uchiha Gin was completely stunned when he heard this revelation. In his mind, the Hagoromo clan members were quite weak.

In other words, their ninjutsu talent is slightly stronger, but not as strong as the Uchiha clan. They also have a little more chakra, but not as much as the Uzumaki clan. Their stamina is slightly better, but they can still defeat the Senju clan.

This half-baked family, which is only good at maintaining a balanced development, actually managed to drag down a small number of people who stand at the top of the Land of Fire.

It's confirmed that he's a real water ghost.

"There was no other way. The employer was pressing too hard from behind. In order to maintain their foothold in the Land of Fire, the Hagoromo clan had no choice but to bring out their ancestral magic weapon, the ninja tool, just to kill Senju Butsuma and restore the clan's prestige."

"magic weapon?"

Upon hearing those two words, Uchiha Gin instantly perked up. He had never heard of such a thing as a magical artifact since his rebirth, and immediately raised his hand with a curious expression to ask a question.

"It is said to be a ninja tool left behind by the Sage of Six Paths. The Hagoromo clan has kept it in their shrine for generations, and it is only brought out when the Hagoromo clan encounters a great calamity."

After saying this, a hint of apprehension flashed in Uchiha Tajima's eyes. The fact that he could kill Senju Butsuma, who was on par with him, showed that the Hagoromo clan's magic weapon was by no means simple.

"Unfortunately, the current head of the Hagoromo clan has a less than pure bloodline, and he only has four lines on his face, making it somewhat difficult for him to activate the Six Paths Ninja Tools."

Uchiha Tajima continued to tell Uchiha Gin about the secrets of the great clans. When he first heard the term "beard pattern," he frowned and recalled the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers who appeared in the original work.

These two guys have six whisker marks on their faces, just like the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki. I initially thought it was due to the influence of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

However, the original work mentions that they already had whisker marks before they obtained the Nine-Tails' chakra. Does this mean that the two of them are descendants of the Hagoromo clan?

Then the magical treasures that the Hagoromo clan worships must be the same ones that appeared during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

"Are those ninja tools only usable by members of the Hagoromo clan?"

Gin Uchiha, recalling how the reanimated Ginkaku was still being used with the Six Paths Tools even after being sealed away, asked a question.

"No, ninja tools are just tools after all. If someone without the bloodline of the Hagoromo clan uses them, they must pay a huge price in chakra."

That makes sense. The little black dungeon in Kumogakure and Tenten, who eats steamed buns, both used those ninja tools, which means that you don't necessarily need bloodline to use them.

"Even with such a large-scale mobilization, the Feathered Robe Clan still failed."

Uchiha Tajima's eyes flickered slightly as he continued speaking to Uchiha Gin.

"In that battle, the Hagoromo clan basically went all out. Although they severely injured Senju Butsuma, they also suffered heavy losses themselves."

"what?"

So many against one, and they still got killed? Do they even know how to play?

"Senju Butsuma was not alone. His eldest son, Senju Hashirama, was with him at the time. It was that guy who turned the tide of the battle at the crucial moment."

Is this 20-year-old hot mom from Harbin really that hot?

Thinking back to that boy with the melon-shaped haircut, how did he take off in just a few short years?

"The ninjutsu you used, Hashirama Senju also knew."

With a scrutinizing gaze, Uchiha Tajima looked at the shocked Uchiha Gin and slowly uttered these words.

Judging by the timeline, Hashirama Senju should have mastered Wood Release by now. The original manga doesn't focus much on the Sengoku period, and there are only a few scenes depicting the changes in the strength of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

During their fight, Hashirama Senju in his youth was already proficient in using Wood Release ninjutsu to fight Madara Uchiha.

"As expected of a master thief, I should go and collect the copyright fees from that guy."

Uchiha Gin stroked his curly hair and said with a resentful look.

"Alright, let's not talk about that ninjutsu for now."

Uchiha Tajima waved his hand, indicating that they shouldn't delve into the matter for now. After all, he was his nephew whom he had watched grow up, and although he was showing signs of going astray, he was absolutely trustworthy.

"When Senju Butsuma was dying, his son used the same ninjutsu as you to drain the entire Hagoromo clan of their ambush, leaving only a few survivors. The Hagoromo clan leader also used the Six Paths Tools to reverse-summon back to the clan in his last moments before dying."

After recounting the entire details of this secret battle, Uchiha Tajima looked at Uchiha Gin, who was frowning, and continued...

"Now the Senju clan is like a madman, searching everywhere for traces of the Hagoromo clan. Led by that white-haired brat you saw, they are determined to wipe the Hagoromo clan off the face of the earth."

A naturally evil white-haired brat!

With Tobirama Senju leading the way, it seems the Hagoromo clan will never see the gates of Konoha alive. I was just thinking of letting them hide for another ten years or so, but look what happened. If they actually went when Konoha was founded, they'd be humiliated by the Wood Dragon and applauded by the Great Buddha.

"This task is indeed a bit difficult!"

Surrounded and attacked by the entire Senju clan, the Yuge clan is now in a very precarious situation, especially since all the able-bodied men have been exhausted. The women, children, and the elderly are like meat on a chopping board, to be manipulated at will.

"Uncle, then can we..."

Uchiha Gin's lips curled into a strange smile as he looked at Uchiha Tajima in front of him with a sinister expression, making a throat-slitting gesture.

"I understand what you mean, but it's not necessary."

Uchiha Tajima had considered taking advantage of the situation and seizing the Hagoromo clan's treasures for himself, but after personally testing the effects of the Six Paths tools, he felt there was no need to plunder them.

"I have seen the Six Paths Ninja Tools of the Hagoromo clan. When we use them, they are a burden. Not only do they consume a lot of chakra, but the true power of those magical weapons cannot be activated."

"Besides, we Uchiha are duty-bound to cause trouble for the Senju clan. We will prevent them from accomplishing what they set out to do."

I never would have guessed that my uncle was such a sentimental person.

So,

Holding the map, Uchiha Gin suddenly realized, could this daunting task be...???

"That's right, this task is entrusted to you. I hope you do a great job."

Uchiha Tajima smiled and nodded, his eyes clearly saying, "I believe in you."

"But my strength..."

Uchiha Gin, who was eager to slack off, immediately brought out his usual excuse.

"No problem, you can go with Uchiha Hikaru."

Having learned the girl's name, Uchiha Tajima no longer referred to Uchiha Hikaru as "Nameless".

"I was worried that you weren't good enough, so I arranged a super strong support for you."

Uchiha Tajima was very satisfied with his arrangement. The trustworthy Uchiha Gin and the slightly weaker (?) Uchiha Hikaru made for a perfect combination.

With the combination of the most powerful brain (questionable) and the most powerful strength, this transfer mission should be a piece of cake.

"Can I refuse?"

Uchiha Gin rushed over, grabbed his uncle's leg, and said with snot and tears streaming down his face,

"I'm the only son in my family, and not only am I thirty years old and unmarried, but I'm also a complete virgin. Please, could you please send someone else?"

"roll!!!"

Uchiha Tajima, his eyes twitching, looked at the filth on his pants and angrily kicked Uchiha Gin away.

"I'm hiding~"

Seeing that his self-inflicted injury was useless, Uchiha Gin nimbly dodged his uncle's hateful attack by sidestepping, quickly straightened his appearance, rubbed the map in his hand, his eyes slightly darting around, and spoke.

"Since it's a mission, what is the reward?"

"The reward is simple: you can choose one of the Six Paths Ninja Tools of the Hagoromo clan and receive a promise from the Hagoromo clan."

With a cold expression, he wiped the sticky filth off his legs with a tissue. It seemed these pants were no longer usable. Uchiha Tajima raised his head and announced the reward offered by the Hagoromo clan.

"Don't you have any money?"

A useless Six Paths Ninja Tool and a vague promise are enough to entice the Uchiha clan to wade into this mess.

"The territory of the Feather Robe Clan has been occupied by the Senju Clan, and their wealth has long since gone into their pockets. Now, only a group of old, weak, sick, and young people are left to wander outside, waiting to be relocated."

Uchiha Tajima felt a pang of sympathy for the Hagoromo clan's plight, after all, they were all fighting against the Senju, and he could empathize with them.

"Moreover, I have a past relationship with the patriarch of the Feathered Robe Clan, and I will do my best to fulfill his dying wish."

If it weren't for Uchiha Tajima becoming the clan head, the Hagoromo clan would definitely have been kicked out by my cousin. After all, my cousin only has eyes for Hasi Hot Mom; the Hagoromo clan? He's not familiar with them!

"Okay~"

Uchiha Gin sighed, put away the map in his hand, and said to Uchiha Tajima in front of him,

"Then I'll accept this task."

"Forehead?."

Uchiha Tajima, who had expected to need to say more, looked at his eldest nephew in surprise.

This lazy guy actually accepted this thankless task.

In fact, Uchiha Tajima had considered taking on the mission himself, while letting his eldest son take over the clan's affairs.

After a while, he stepped down and went behind the scenes to advise his son.

However, unexpectedly, Hashirama Senju's new power emerged out of nowhere, and Madara Uchiha, who was originally on par with him on the battlefield, was overwhelmed by the opponent's new ability.

This has caused her eldest son to become somewhat obsessed, thinking only about training all day long, unable to let go of clan affairs, and only focused on power.

Having no other choice, he had to postpone his plans to abdicate and resume his duties within the clan, giving his eldest son a chance to recover.

However, because of this, he is currently unable to leave and can only entrust this confidential mission to a trusted member of his clan.

Coincidentally, during the mission to unseal Uchiha Hikaru, Uchiha Gin, who had shone brightly, came into his view.

He was quite surprised that his usually unreliable nephew would unleash such power after regaining his memories.

So, taking this opportunity, he let him take Uchiha Hikaru to do some rehabilitation, and also to test the boy's abilities. He always felt that this nephew had a side that no one knew about.

"He truly is my good nephew!"

Having these thoughts flashed through his mind, Uchiha Tajima immediately made a decision and promised with absolute certainty.

"This task is yours. Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything! An old man who blinks isn't a real man!"

"After I come back, I want to retire to my hometown and become the Sword God of Shili Slope~"

Today is the last day of my holiday. I drove all day and came back feeling dizzy and lightheaded, but I gritted my teeth and finished writing this before midnight, so I managed to keep my perfect attendance record.
