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

Chapter 133 The house just happened to be missing a vase

"You two brats, don't embarrass me when you go to the Land of Lightning. At least try to become a leader, Dangdang."

Having ended his fantasy, Uchiha Gin looked at the mature-beyond-his-years Kinkaku before him, wiped the tears from the corner of his mouth, and teased him with a smile.

"Otherwise, don't say you know me."

"We brothers will remember every word Mr. Yin said."

Kinkaku tugged at his younger brother behind him, his tiger eyes filled with tears. Although the time they spent together was very short, he had genuine respect for Uchiha Gin.

From his unreserved guidance of the two brothers at the beginning to his life-saving act at a critical moment, he saw it all and remembered it all.

"Silver Horn, take the things out."

Jinjiao pulled out an old, worn-out scroll from his pocket and spoke to his younger brother behind him.

Without hesitation, Gintoki took out a similar scroll from his pocket and handed both scrolls to Uchiha Gintoki as he spoke.

"Mr. Yin, the divine artifacts of our Feathered Robe Clan are sealed inside. Please choose any two!"

"Huh? Didn't the mission say it was one item?"

I took the scroll from Kinkaku. It was very heavy and felt like it was made of some kind of tree bark.

Simply by holding them in your hands, you can sense the profound power contained within the scrolls. However, perhaps due to their long existence, these two scrolls seem ready to fall apart at any moment.

"We are deeply grateful and need no thanks. Please take whatever you like, Mr. Yin. The extra item is a token of our brotherly affection, so please do not refuse it."

Kinkaku waved his hand. Although Uchiha Gin was escorting them on a mission, the help he provided to the two brothers went far beyond the scope of the mission. After discussing it, the two decided to let Uchiha Gin choose one more artifact.

After all, if Uchiha Gin were to take such a rare artifact back, it would most likely be taken back to the clan for research, and the right to use it would probably not fall into his hands.

"Let me take a look first!"

Uchiha Gin saw through the brothers' little scheme and felt a warmth in his heart. He didn't refuse and opened the scroll to take a look.

First, open the scroll with the silver horn. It contains two divine artifacts: on the left is a broadsword adorned with auspicious clouds at its four corners, and on the right is a simple red gourd.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Gin opened Kinkaku's scroll, which contained three divine artifacts. On the far left was a golden hemp rope, in the middle was a red and white feather fan, and at the very back was a jar with inscriptions on its body.

"Silver Horn possesses the Seven Star Sword and the Red Gourd, while I have the Golden Rope, the Banana Leaf Fan, and the Amber Bottle."

Kinkaku began to carefully introduce the Six Paths Ninja Tools they possessed to Uchiha Gin. Although the names sounded a bit out of place to him, he knew the original plot and had some understanding of the artifacts in front of him.

"The Seven Star Sword is..."

Kinkaku's eyes lit up as he introduced his family's divine weapon as if it were a treasure trove, afraid that Uchiha Gin wouldn't be interested.

"The Banana Leaf Fan allows the wielder to disregard their own chakra nature and unleash an extremely powerful weapon imbued with the five natures of fire, water, lightning, wind, and earth in one go."

Having talked until his throat was dry, Golden Horn licked his lips and began to introduce the last treasure.

"This jar is called the Amber Vase. It will be drawn into the bottle and sealed as long as it responds to the holder's words."

"Hmm"

After hearing the introductions of all the artifacts, and finding that their effects were exactly the same as described in the original work, Uchiha Gin was unable to make a decision for a while.

First of all, the three divine artifacts—the Seven Star Sword, the Golden Rope, and the Red Gourd—are a combination; when gathered, they resemble a sky full of stars, and when scattered, they represent a response to a question.

If he took one of them, Ginkaku and Kinkaku's lives would be in trouble, so Gin Uchiha immediately passed on all three.

Secondly, the Banana Leaf Fan. The bonus from the Five Elements Ninjutsu is of little use to him, as he has neither a lack of chakra nor a lack of ninjutsu.

Moreover, when fighting aliens in the later stages, conventional escape techniques are simply not useful. It's better to save them for the Golden Horn and Silver Horn, who currently have few offensive means, for self-defense!

"This one?"

After mentally dismissing the four divine artifacts, Uchiha Gin turned his attention to the last jar, examining the ancient inscriptions on its surface thoughtfully.

It seems that the bottle was later stolen by San Leizi. Rather than letting that Black Lao Da, who had killed thousands of people, get it, it was better to let him keep it in advance. Since I don't have many sealing methods, this treasure might have some miraculous effects.

"Have you made your choice, Mr. Yin?"

Watching Uchiha Gin's brows furrow from a furrowed brow to a relaxed brow, then furrowed again, until finally his gaze settled on the amber bottle.

"Hmm, this bottle will do. It just so happens that we need a decorative vase at home."

Uchiha Gin pointed to the amber bottle at the very end and smiled at Kinkaku.

"Is this all you want? Let's pick another one!"

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Gin chose this. In terms of practicality, the Amber Purification Bottle is the most useless artifact for the two brothers. After all, they have to hold it with both hands, which means they are one less weapon than others.

Kinkaku felt a pang of unease, and his gaze toward Uchiha Gin burned even brighter.

Mr. Yin is such a kind and good person.

"No need, just take this one. You brothers can each take two of the remaining four, that's just right."

Uchiha Gin shook his head, insisting on accepting only one item.

"Okay, then."

Seeing that Uchiha Gin was so insistent, Kinkaku stopped being coy and immediately bit his thumb, smearing the blood on the scroll. As he formed a release hand seal, a puff of white smoke rose from the scroll.

As the smoke cleared, a jar half the height of a person appeared in front of Uchiha Gin. Kinkaku stroked this sacred artifact that their Hagoromo clan had worshipped for generations, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes, which then turned into determination.

The Feathered Robe Clan is almost extinct, what's the use of clinging to these divine artifacts?

Jinjiao believes that as long as they live, no matter where they are, the legend of the Feathered Robe Clan will continue.

"Thanks!"

Uchiha Gin took the amber bottle from Kinkaku, put it into the blank scroll he carried with him, stuffed it into the bag on his back, clapped his hands, and prepared to say goodbye to the members of the Hagoromo clan.

"Mr. Yin, we are penniless right now. To express our gratitude for your help..."

After putting away the scroll containing other divine artifacts, a faint light flickered in Kinkaku's eyes, as if he had remembered something. He suddenly spoke up and stopped Uchiha Gin, who was turning to leave.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin's expression immediately changed, and he became wary.

Huh? You're not thinking of offering yourself to me, are you? No wonder you looked so familiar, now that I think about it, you look exactly like that gang leader.

I, the upright and incorruptible Uchiha Gin, won't fall for your tricks!

"I've decided to tell you a secret passed down through our Feathered Robe Clan."

Golden Horn's eyes shone with determination, as if he had made a decision that went against his ancestors.

"Oh? Brother, that's..."

Silver Horn, standing behind his brother, heard his words and a rare look of surprise crossed his usually gloomy face.

"Silver Horn, stop talking. Our Feathered Robe Clan is on the verge of extinction. That Xin Mi is of no use to us anymore."

Jinjiao shook his head, interrupting his younger brother.

Phew~ Thank goodness they weren't planning to force him into a male-on-male bondage. If those two brothers had used their "male-on-male" technique on him, how would he have dealt with it!

"Tell me about it?"

However, the conversation between the two brothers also piqued Gin Uchiha's interest.

The secrets of the Feathered Clan mentioned by Jin Jiao were not mentioned in the original work. Even the Feathered Clan itself was only briefly mentioned a few times in the original work and then not explored in depth.

"Mr. Yin, as you know, our Feathered Robe Clan are descendants of the Sage of Six Paths."

Golden Horn said with a serious expression, a hint of pride in his eyes, for they were the descendants of the legendary immortals.

Tsk! You're getting all worked up over me for being fat. Everyone acts like they're some kind of immortal descendant.

Upon hearing Kinkaku's boasting, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but roll his dead fish eyes. With your big brother here, the little brothers of the Hagoromo clan should step back a bit.

"I don't need to go into the legend of the Sage of Six Paths; it's something that everyone knows."

Golden Horn is still keeping you in suspense; this doesn't fit your persona at all!

"Our ancestors, though they inherited the divine weapons left by the Sage of Six Paths, could not possibly have only possessed these few weapons."

Golden Horn shook his head, and said with a meaningful expression,

"There's even a divine artifact?"

Uchiha Gin gave a "moderate" shock, warming up the atmosphere for Kinkaku's brother.

It's just the Elysium Chest, that thing should be suppressed in the Land of Grass right now.

Thinking of that ominous monster from the movie, Uchiha Gin had absolutely no desire to touch that box with such a sinister-sounding name.

"Before the Sage of Six Paths passed away, he left his sword in the sealed land, and our Feathered Robe Clan is responsible for guarding that divine artifact."

It wasn't the Paradise Chest?

Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow in surprise, a glint of light flashing in his dead fish eyes. The Sage of Six Paths' sword... could it be...?

"According to the ancient records of our Feathered Robe Clan, it is a divine weapon called the Ama-no-Numa Spear. It can imbue the sword with the intense longing for one's long-cherished wish, hence it is also called the Sword of Wishes. Legend has it that the Sage of Six Paths created the world with this sword."

Kinkaku revealed this almost mythical secret to Uchiha Gin as if telling a story.

"That sounds pretty impressive. Why doesn't your Feathered Robe Clan take back that divine artifact?"

Kinkaku's words confirmed his guess, and Uchiha Gin recalled the weapon that Six Paths Obito wielded in the original work.

It looks like a double helix structure, but its power is truly formidable. If Obito hadn't been so weak-willed and still wanted to be the Hokage that even a dog wouldn't do, the Fourth Shinobi World War would have ended long ago.

"There's no way to retrieve it. It's said that apart from the Sage of Six Paths himself, only descendants of the Sage of Six Paths with a bloodline concentration of Six Paths high enough are qualified to enter the sealed land, glimpse the splendor of the divine artifact, and even then, they might not be able to retrieve it."

Jinjiao shook his head. Their Feathered Robe Clan was one of the descendants closest to the Six Paths Bloodline, but even they had no one who could enter the Sealed Land.

Goodness, it's bound by bloodline?
