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

Chapter 118 It's easy to support two people, but difficult to fight two.

"It's a mission."

The girl, who had been excited, now showed a look of disappointment, but she didn't say anything. Always understanding, she chose to wait.

"Then I'll wait for Mr. Yin to return before we discuss it further."

They're so obedient it breaks my heart; they truly are someone else's perfect child.

Uh... wait, now it really seems like it's become our own child.

In that case

Looking at Uchiha Gin, who resembled an abandoned puppy, he stroked his chin thoughtfully. After a while, he turned to Uchiha Hikaru, who was beaming with relief behind him, and said...

"Hikaru, do you mind bringing one more person?"

"Huh? I have no objection."

The girl, who was secretly celebrating, heard the question from the person in front of her. After a brief moment of thought, she nodded and said that she was strong enough to easily take on two people, and two more would be no problem for her.

"Alright, Xiao Zhi, go home and pack your things. We're leaving tomorrow!"

Uchiha Gin smiled and patted the girl's soft, long hair, telling her she could come along.

"Really? Thank you, Mr. Gin, and thank you, Hikaru-senpai."

Overjoyed that she would be able to go on a mission with her master and the others, the girl hugged Uchiha Gin tightly and thanked him excitedly.

???

This is normal physical contact between master and disciple, Uchiha Hikaru, you need to calm down.

"Oh my gosh, Mommy wants some too~"

Witnessing her daughter find her home, Uchiha Eimi, her stunningly white cleavage swaying, rushed over with a radiant smile.

"Bang!"

Upon hearing his mother's voice, Uchiha Osamu, who was wrapped around Uchiha Gin's waist, didn't even turn his head. Instead, he launched a flying back kick, sending his mother flying.

Can you please stop ruining my mood, you old hag?

Looking at the two intimately, Uchiha Hikaru, who was digging his own grave, began to hypnotize himself.

Why is the Uchiha clan's genjutsu so powerful? They can easily deceive themselves, let alone deal with enemies.

As the girl's warm body nestled in his arms, Uchiha Gin's heart fluttered. Lost in his own thoughts, he suddenly remembered the girl's age and status, and immediately pushed her away with a serious expression, offering her earnest advice to the naive girl.

"Little Zhili, you're still young, never hug other men like this."

"So even subdivided flats aren't allowed?"

The Uchiha leader, who had been pushed aside, turned his gaze, his face revealing an innocent expression, and asked curiously.

"Huh?! Just wait till I get back, I'll teach that lecherous brat a lesson!"

My own little cabbage was eaten by my own pig! I'm going to slaughter the pig when I get home!

The aggressive Uchiha Gin dragged the still self-hypnotizing Uchiha Hikaru home.

The innocent-looking Uchiha Gin, who had just been so innocent, regained his calm smile and watched Uchiha Gin's departing figure, his cherry-like lips curving into a beautiful arc.

Sorry, Itama, but we're best friends after all.

Back home, seeing Senju Itama lounging on the sofa like Ge You, Uchiha Gin was furious. Without saying a word, he grabbed his big hand and gave the lecherous brat a loving beating.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

Senju Itama, clutching her bottom, blushed and complained indignantly.

She just didn't clean the house, and she's already suffering this terrible fate? I can't live like this anymore!

"You dare talk back? Think about what despicable things you did to Xiao Zhili!"

Even his hands, imbued with superhuman strength, felt slightly numb. Had this brat mastered the Iron Ingot Technique?

But why does it still feel so bouncy?

"Alright, Ah Yin, let's forgive her this time, considering her youth and ignorance!"

Hikaru Uchiha, standing behind him, could no longer hold back and quickly spoke up to stop Gin Uchiha from continuing his intimate contact with this wretched brat.

If this continues, she'll be the one who suffers! She's never even played this kind of game with Ah Yin before.

"Phew~~~ Since Xiaoguang has pleaded for you, I'll let you off this time."

Although he was somewhat obsessed with the feel of the kid's hands, Uchiha Gin quickly dismissed the strange thoughts in his head when he remembered the kid's identity. He was a straight man and couldn't be fooled by Senju Itama, this little rascal.

He then told Senju Itama about Uchiha Osamu's apprenticeship, warning the lecherous brat not to take advantage of Osamu, or he, as her master, would not let him off the hook.

"Huh? You've become Sister Zhili's mentor?"

Senju Itama, clutching his backside, immediately jumped up, looking at the man before him warily, his tone full of doubt.

"You rascal, you're not after Sister Zhili's beauty, are you?"

"Bang!!!"

Gin Uchiha, his forehead bulging with veins, gave the brat a long-awaited, righteous thud, raising his smoking fist and speaking in an unfriendly tone.

"These are the words I should be saying to you!"

After dealing with that brat Senju Itama, a refreshed Uchiha Gin went out to begin modifying his Great House.

"Wood Release: Four Pillars!"

Uchiha Gin clapped his hands together, and green light flashed in his palms. As chakra was poured in, the Wood Release creation in front of him, the Great House, began to transform. On top of the original two layers of the Great House, a new layer with a terrace grew.

Okay, that's fine!

Unclenching his fists, Uchiha Gin looked at the brand-new Wood Release: Great House and nodded in satisfaction.

The wood-style products he created not only have the ability to repair themselves, but can also resist attacks from various ninjutsu. The houses are not only warm in winter and cool in summer, but also fireproof and waterproof, and have fine water pipes. Underground, there is a water-style formation he set up to support the smooth flow of water in and out of the houses.

Wow!!!

Uchiha Hikaru and Senju Itama heard the noise outside and rushed out to check. When they saw that the two-story mansion had been transformed into an even more luxurious three-story mansion, their mouths dropped open in astonishment.

"Hehe, putting everything else aside, my superb civil engineering skills alone will ensure you'll never have to worry about food and drink again!"

Uchiha Gin proudly puffed out his chest. With this skill, once Konoha was founded, wouldn't he make a fortune? Then he could lead his brothers to live a life of luxury, wouldn't that be wonderful!

The two didn't even bother to exchange words, curiously venturing into the brand-new Grand House to look around. Senju Itama ran around the spacious hall like a madman, jumping and leaping about. Afterwards, he excitedly ran to Uchiha Gin.

"Can I move in too?"

Originally, the Grand House only had two rooms on the second floor, so Senju Itama was relegated to guarding the old house. Now, the new Grand House has two bedrooms, making it much more spacious. Surely there should be a place for her now.

"Okay, it depends on your performance. We have a mission to go out, so you can tidy up the house nicely and I'll check it when I get back."

Looking at Senju Itama, whose eyes were shining, her fair face was full of hope, and her big, watery eyes were staring straight at him.

This Thousand Hands Ita Mata looks really fragrant.

Uchiha Gin's heart suddenly softened, and he subconsciously wanted to agree, but he was startled and immediately changed his mind, deciding to see how the brat behaved first.

That was close! Little Nanliang is terrifying!

Wiping the cold sweat from his brow, Uchiha Gin felt a sudden alarm bell ringing in his mind.

"Gintoki~~~"

Feeling her clothes being tugged, Uchiha Gin turned around and saw Uchiha Hikari with her little face puffed out. She then spoke in a soft, sweet voice...

"I want to stay in the room next to yours!"

If I don't take action soon, my house will be robbed! That wretched brat!

"No problem, Hikaru, you can choose whatever you like!"

Uchiha Gin trusted Uchiha Hikaru completely, and with a wave of his hand, he let her choose whatever she wanted.

"You guys choose your rooms first, I'm going out for some fresh air."

Uchiha Gin remembered that he hadn't practiced his skills for the day, so he made an excuse to leave, leaving the two of them to choose their own rooms.

"Hey, you little brat, you're crossing the line."

As soon as Uchiha Gin's front leg left, the usually gentle and refined Uchiha Hikaru immediately changed her expression, speaking to the excited Senju Itama with a displeased look.

"Huh? What are you saying, you old woman?"

Senju Itama already disliked this hypocritical Uchiha, and immediately retorted with a sharp tongue.

"Phew! I'm not going to stoop to your level."

Uchiha Hikaru was momentarily speechless with anger. After catching his breath, he stared at Senju Itama's androgynous face and said...

"I won't tell Ah Yin your true identity either."

"Huh? What strange thing are you saying?"

Upon hearing the other person's words, Senju Itama looked tense, straightened up, and avoided eye contact.

"Hehe, I don't know why A-Yin didn't notice. Maybe he just doesn't pay attention to you at all!"

From the very first glance, the woman's keen intuition allowed Uchiha Hikaru to discern Senju Itama's true identity.

However, for some reason, Uchiha Gin never figured out the kid's true identity and continued to treat her without any restraint.

However, she didn't want to expose the kid's identity right now. If it backfired and made Uchiha Gin have other ideas about her, wouldn't she be shooting herself in the foot?

Now that there's already an added threat from the purple-haired guy, bringing this brat into the mix further reduces their chances of winning.

"Ha! What nonsense are you talking about? Look at this, it's a gift that guy gave me!"

Provoked by Uchiha Hikaru's words, Senju Itama immediately pulled out the golden hourglass pendant that Uchiha Gin had given her for protection, and said with a smug look on her face,

"Look at this, it's pure gold! You've probably never even seen one before, have you?"

Uchiha Hikaru's black eyes widened as he stared intently at the pendant filled with golden sand that Senju Itama wore around his neck.

Unconvinced, she pulled out the blue swirling pendant that Uchiha Gin had given her; the faintly flowing blue chakra within it was particularly eye-catching.

"What a tacky pendant that is! Mine was given to me by Ah Yin herself!"

Unwilling to be outdone, Uchiha Hikaru told a small lie in an attempt to outdo the detestable brat in front of him.

"How can your cheap glass pendant compare to my solid gold one?"

"Heh, didn't you see the chakra inside? That was poured in by Gintoki!"

The two began a fierce exchange over the gift given to them by Uchiha Gin.

Uchiha Gin, who was in the backyard, was completely unaware of the "friendly exchange" between Daigosri and Gin, because his attention was completely drawn to the person who walked out of the light screen in front of him.

Wearing tattered red armor, with a devilishly arrogant white hair, a familiar round fan slung over the back of his old and frail body, his deeply lined and cold face etched with vicissitudes, his drooping eyes tightly closed, and his expression carrying the blankness unique to NPCs.

"Huh? Isn't this my older cousin? How come he's gotten so messed up after just a short while?"
