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

Chapter 121 Let the Bullets Fly for a While

"May I ask your age, sir?"

Uchiha Gin raised his head and looked up at the blond boy with a face full of scars in front of him, carefully examining his appearance.

His eyes lingered briefly on the six lines on the other person's cheek before he looked directly into the other person's defiant eyes and asked sincerely,

Jinjiao stared at the frail Uchiha in front of him, surprised that the other party was not only not afraid, but also dared to ask his age.

"Hmph! I'm twelve this year!"

He immediately snorted, pointed his thick thumb at himself, and answered in a muffled voice.

Huh? If you hadn't said so, I would have thought you were thirty. You look way too old!

Uchiha Gin was startled. This guy, who looked like a melon vendor, was only twelve years old. He could only be described as having extraordinary talent.

"This is going to be difficult!"

Uchiha Gin rubbed his forehead, his words tinged with regret.

"What are you muttering about over there?"

Seeing that Uchiha Gin dared to ignore him and talk to himself as if no one else was around, Kinkaku was immediately enraged. In a fit of rage, he stretched out his large, fan-like hand and slapped the curly-haired man who was deep in thought.

"Golden Horn! No!"

Shintaro Hagoromo never expected that Kinkaku would be so bold as to openly attack an ally who came to help.

He was well aware of Jinjiao's strength; if the other party hadn't been so young, he would never have been chosen as the acting clan leader.

"Bang!!!"

With a loud bang, Shintaro Hagoromo, unable to stop it in time, closed his eyes in pain.

It's over, it's all over. Not only have we offended the Senju clan, but now we've also offended our last lifeline. Heaven is going to destroy my Great Feather Robe Clan!

"what?"

Kinkaku, who thought his slap would send the frail Uchiha flying, cried out in confusion.

Jinjiao didn't realize he had hit anything. He was about to pull his hand back to check when he was surprised to find his palm gripped tightly. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge it an inch.

"Are all kids these days so rude?"

Uchiha Gin's lazy voice rang out, and Hagoromo Shintaro hurriedly opened his eyes upon hearing it, only to see a scene that left him speechless.

Uchiha Gin, who thought he would be slapped away, was yawning at the moment. He raised one hand and extended two fingers to easily pinch Kinkaku's angry palm, appearing very relaxed.

"!!!"

Kinkaku was speechless with astonishment when he saw Uchiha Gin clamping his thick hand between just two fingers.

"Let me go!"

Even with all his might, Kinkaku couldn't pull his hand away from Uchiha Gin's fingers, and in anger, he shouted...

"Ouch!!!"

Seeing that this kid still dared to talk back, Uchiha Gin immediately tightened his fingers, his fingers, infused with monstrous strength, gripped Kinkaku's hand like a vise. Kinkaku felt the intense pain in his hand and couldn't help but howl in agony.

"Lord Uchiha Gin, please spare him! He's just a child!"

Shintaro Hagoromo, who was standing nearby, ran over to Gin Uchiha and tried to persuade him in a strange tone, but judging from the corners of his mouth that he couldn't suppress, he was obviously not being honest.

Huh? I never expected that this handsome, big-eyed Shintaro Hagoromo would be this kind of person.

"Are you a child?"

Uchiha Gin chuckled mockingly, turning to look at Kinkaku, who was covered in sweat. He was being restrained, his face flushed, and his terrified expression betrayed his earlier arrogance.

"Yes, yes, I just turned twelve this year~"

Given the inherent strength of the man, even the most stubborn man like Jin Jiao knew how to seek advantage and avoid harm, and immediately yielded in response.

"All right."

Uchiha Gin loosened his grip, and Kinkaku, feeling the immense force disappear, quickly took a few steps back. Looking at the two bluish marks on his palm, he abandoned his previous docile demeanor and said defiantly,

"You only have the advantage of age. When I get to your age, I will be a hundred times better than you."

So this kid's always been this stubborn; no wonder he was able to bite off the Nine-Tails' chakra.

"Looks like you're a little unconvinced?"

Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow and spoke to Kinkaku, who looked indignant.

"snort!"

Jinjiao covered his palm and snorted coldly, indicating that he was right.

"I, Uchiha Gin, prefer to win people over with virtue. Since you think I have the advantage of age, let my disciple have another intense and exciting duel with you!"

After saying that, he pushed out Uchiha Shigeaki, who was eating sunflower seeds and watching the show with Uchiha Hikaru.

"???"

Uchiha Gin, who was eating sunflower seeds, held a handful of sunflower seed shells in his hand and looked at the confident Uchiha Gin with a blank expression.

Am I still your dearest disciple?

"Huh? Her?"

Unexpectedly, the other party actually pushed out a little girl, and the arrogant Golden Horn laughed mockingly.

"Mr. Yin, if you don't want to take me as your apprentice, please just say so. There's no need to do this."

Uchiha Rinne secretly tossed the sunflower seed shells behind her and rubbed her fair hands together.

He raised his head, staring at Uchiha Gin with lifeless, empty eyes, and said in a cold tone,

"Oh dear~ Little Zhili, how can you think of your teacher like that? I have great confidence in you!"

Uchiha Gin chuckled and patted Uchiha Ryosuke's head, his tone brimming with an inexplicable confidence.

"I've examined him for you. This kid is all show and no substance. You only need to make a slight move to take him down to his limit."

"real?"

Uchiha Gin's words had completely bewitched him, and the worry in his eyes when he looked at Kinkaku was gone.

"It's a piece of cake. With the weapon I gave you, dealing with him is like cutting melons and vegetables."

Uchiha Gin slapped his chest with a loud thud.

"Are you ready?"

After rubbing his palms for a long time, Jin Jiao felt that he had recovered enough and started shouting again.

"Go, Zhili, teach that stubborn brat a lesson he'll never forget."

Uchiha Gin patted Uchiha Giri on the back and encouraged him.

Still harboring some doubts, Uchiha Rin drew the weapon that Uchiha Gin had given him the day before from his waist.

Holding the electric knife crackling with electricity, the girl felt a surge of confidence and, without further hesitation, strode out.

"Uchiha, please enlighten me."

The girl raised her weapon and spoke softly to Golden Horn not far away.

"Hmph! I don't need ninja tools at all to deal with a little girl like you."

Golden Horn snorted, choosing not to take out the inheritance left to them by their father, and instead spun around to fight the girl with his bare hands.

Facing Kinkaku, whose aura was several times stronger than his own, it was impossible for Uchiha Rinpoche not to be nervous.

A girl who awakened the Sharingan with two tomoe at the age of thirteen—her talent is truly exceptional.

Given time, she will surely become a pillar of the Uchiha clan, but for now, her overall strength is at most that of a Special Jonin.

On the other hand, Kinkaku, thanks to the blessing of his ancestral bloodline, already possessed the chakra level of an elite Jonin at the age of twelve, and his physical development speed far exceeded that of his peers, making his overall strength at least at the Jonin level.

"Heh, little girl, I'll give you a three-move head start!"

With a disdainful expression, Kinkaku crossed his arms and generously indicated that he would stand still and let the Uchiha clan make the first move.

Uchiha Gin: ? ? ?

"I'm thirteen years old, you should call me older sister."

Uchiha Rin, who was holding the electric sword, suddenly spoke, his eyes filled with a strange meaning.

"Enough with the formalities! Here, we rank people by merit and seniority!"

Jinjiao, furious at being stepped on, had been ridiculed by his clansmen for his prematurely aged appearance.

"Brother, calm down! Don't fall for someone's provocation."

The silver-haired boy, who had been silent all along, stepped forward and began to soothe his somewhat irritable older brother.

"You despicable Uchiha, hurry up and make your move!"

After calming down, Kinkaku gritted his teeth and said to Uchiha Rinpoche that after she finished three moves, he would definitely teach this sharp-tongued little girl a lesson.

"Go! Little Manager, use the electrosurgical unit!"

Uchiha Gin waved his hand, striking a pose like a trainer.

"It's Thor's Sword, okay?"

Uchiha Zhili pursed his lips, protested softly, and charged towards Kinkaku, who had his arms crossed, with his electric blade in hand.

Seeing the girl swing her knife at him, Jinjiao smiled disdainfully. He thought that with such a small dagger, she could hurt him. It was just wishful thinking.

Facing the blade about to strike, he neither dodged nor evaded, but stretched out his strong arm to block it.

"Bang!"

With a clang of metal, the blade of Uchiha's attack was easily blocked by Kinkaku. Kinkaku, who felt a slight numbness, didn't take it to heart.

He glanced at Uchiha Shirou, whose skin hadn't even been broken, and gave a cruel smile.

"Two more moves."

Seeing that his attack had failed, and that his full-force strike hadn't even broken through the guy's defense, Uchiha Rinpoche's heart sank, and he frowned as he began to think of a countermeasure.

"Little Zhi! Don't be discouraged, make sure to hit all three times. My electric knife has a special function, you know~"

Seeing Uchiha Gin's hesitation, who was watching from the sidelines, immediately shouted at her and gave the girl a bright thumbs up with a big smile.

"It's Thor's Sword!!!"

The girl couldn't help but turn her head and complain, but then she felt a thunderous sound coming from the weapon in her hand, and she chose to believe it.

Uchiha Rin raised his weapon again and attacked Kinkaku.

"Hmph! What a waste of effort."

Having already tested the strength of the Uchiha clan, Kinkaku shook his head dismissively, raised his hand, and prepared to take two more blows before finishing off the girl with lightning speed, finally getting his revenge.

"Bang!!"

The second attack was easily blocked by Jin Jiao without him even lifting his eyelids.

"Bang!!!"

The third strike was a powerful attack from which Uchiha Yasushi poured all his strength into his attack, attempting to create a miracle.

"Heh, this level of attack isn't even as strong as the way Silver Horn scrubbed my back."

Kinkaku's taunts continued, even suggesting that Uchiha's attacks were inferior to his younger brother's bath towel.

After the three strikes, Uchiha Rinpoche took a few steps back and looked at Uchiha Gin, who was eating sunflower seeds, with a suspicious look. Wasn't it supposed to have special effects? She had already slashed three times, but there was no special effect at all.

"Don't rush, let the bullets fly for a while."
