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

Chapter 149 The Art of Impersonation: Weaknesses and Casting Materials

Based on years of experience lurking in the backyard, newly spawned NPCs would have a brief loading process. Taking advantage of the fact that the pure white humanoid creature that had just spawned hadn't made a move yet, Uchiha Gin approached to take a closer look.

"The purity is fine; there's not a trace of black."

Gin Uchiha circled the motionless White Zetsu several times, but failed to find the mysterious black accessory hidden on its body. He muttered to himself, pondering to himself...

Why not just send a card to a son with a lot of filial piety, and let him get an advance on interest to settle his grudge?

Just as Uchiha Gin was lamenting his loss, White Zetsu's previously blank face twitched slightly, his empty eyes slowly filled with curiosity, and when he looked closely at the person in front of him, his excitement was palpable.

Just as White Zetsu was about to say hello, he found himself unable to control his body. He could only watch as his entire body, resembling a man-eating flower, opened its hideous maw and attacked Uchiha Gin, who was still deep in thought.

"Huh? Loading is complete. Let's finish this quickly, we have a performance tomorrow."

Sensing the eerie aura emanating from him, Uchiha Gin paid it no heed. The color in his eyes changed at will, and three tomoe appeared in his dead fish eyes.

The three tomoe on his right eye began to spin faster under the infusion of Uchiha Gin's chakra, and a black lotus that had not been seen for a long time suddenly bloomed, instantly enveloping the White Zetsu who was still poised to attack in mid-air.

【Amaterasu】

"Sizzle sizzle~"

Without any further screams or desperate resistance, the White Zetsu, who had been full of energy just moments before, turned into a wisp of green smoke with a few final hissing sounds and vanished into the world.

Uchiha Gin closed his eyes, and the black flames, now without a target, slowly extinguished, leaving not a trace.

"The backyard refreshes daily with a random skill [Disguise], granting you Disguise*1."

Huh? It's this ninjutsu.

Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow, recalling this little-known ninjutsu from the original story. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the White Zetsu army used this technique to infiltrate the Allied Forces and cause them considerable trouble.

"But it seems like we've come at just the right time. We were just worrying about the actors' makeup and costumes, so now we don't have to worry about giving ourselves away, hehehe."

Thinking about the function of this ninjutsu, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was like a pillow for someone who was sleepy.

Happily strolling home, Senju Itama was cleaning when he saw Uchiha Gin grinning strangely. He instinctively took a few steps back, holding the broom to his chest, his eyes full of wariness.

"You brat, what kind of look is that?"

Uchiha Gin frowned. Had he been too lenient with this kid lately? It was time to remind him of the fear of being dominated by a lash of his fist. So he slowly walked forward.

"Don't come near me!"

A piercing scream erupted from Senju Itama, making him dizzy. Looking up at the dust that had been shaken off the ceiling, Uchiha Gin rubbed his injured ear, feeling a sudden tightness in his throat.

"What's gotten into you again?"

"Hmph! Sister Zhili already told me what that *** magazine is, you filthy guy, don't even think about touching me!"

Wielding the broom with ferocious force, Senju Itama gritted her teeth and warned that she must protect her chastity to the death.

"ha?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin was taken aback at first, and was about to offer a rebuttal when he suddenly seemed to remember something. A sheepish smile appeared on his face, and he whispered enticingly to the disgruntled Senju Itama,

"Tsk! You little devil, if you want it, just say so. When I was your age, I was incredibly curious about that kind of thing~"

After saying that, he did not continue to blame Senju Itama for his unreasonable behavior. Instead, he generously said that as long as the kid asked, he could choose any of his treasures.

"Hmph~"

Hearing Uchiha Gin's explosive remarks, Senju Itama wanted to continue the confrontation, but when he remembered his current identity, his fiery heart instantly turned cold. He turned his head away and snorted coldly, as if he scoffed at the temptation of the person in front of him.

"I'm in a good mood today, this is a rare opportunity, you won't get such a good thing next time."

Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow, took out his bag, and stubbornly tried to sell it to Senju Itama.

All he got in return was a disdainful glare from the other person, and in the end, he could only awkwardly withdraw his outstretched hand and scratch his cheek in embarrassment.

What an ungrateful brat! If you don't study hard now, you'll be crying and screaming in bed later.

Cursing under his breath, Uchiha Gin didn't pursue the matter further and went straight back to his room to study the disguise technique he had just learned.

He closed his eyes, sensing the chakra within his body. As soon as he had a thought, a faint light rose from his entire body. When Uchiha Gin opened his eyes again, he found himself transformed into the person he had imagined.

"Sure enough, even their auras are exactly the same."

A clear, cold voice rang out. Uchiha Gin looked at himself in the mirror in surprise. He had transformed into a completely different person, inside and out. Without using his superhuman senses, no one could detect the flaws.

"But it's a bit troublesome, this technique requires the chakra of the person being transformed to be used."

Uchiha Gin sighed helplessly. Where was he supposed to find the chakra of the other actors now?

"Do we have to go to the Thousand Hands clan's territory?"

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he immediately extinguished it—too late!

Hmm~ Didn't my uncle just get into a fight a few days ago? Maybe he still has some scraps left over. If we can salvage them, they might be usable.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Gin couldn't sit still any longer. He pushed open the door and ran straight to Uchiha Tajima's office.

I hope my uncle is still working overtime.

"Huh? Wasn't that old woman supposed to be unconscious? How did she get out of the curly-haired baboon's room again?"

Senju Itama, who hadn't rested yet, heard the commotion outside and poked his head out of his room to investigate. He frowned in confusion as he watched Uchiha Hikaru dart out of Uchiha Gin's room.

As Uchiha Gin sped along the road, he noticed that the surrounding area had become much taller. Only then did he realize that he had just used the Disguise Technique to transform into Uchiha Hikaru. He immediately found a secluded corner and reverted to his original appearance.

"That's right, how can you justify your salary if you don't work overtime?"

When Uchiha Gin arrived at the clan head's building and saw the clan head's office still lit up, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Crunch~"

Bypassing the guards, Uchiha Gin quickly leaped onto the clan head's building, opened a window, and jumped inside.

"Why didn't you use the front door, you brat?"

Uchiha Tajima, who was working at his desk, looked at his eldest nephew who had climbed in through the window, put down his pen, and said helplessly,

"Didn't you say our plan was to be kept secret?"

Uchiha Gin curled his lip and retorted with reason and evidence,

"Okay, what's up so late?"

Uchiha Tajima sighed, looked at the impatient Uchiha Gin, and asked kindly,

"Uncle, you said you fought with that kid from the Senju family a few days ago, right?"

With time running out and the task heavy, Uchiha Gin didn't hesitate and chose to get straight to the point.

"Huh? That's right, am I really that untrustworthy?"

Uchiha Tajima was so angry that his beard was crooked. His great achievements were being questioned by this kid as being fabricated. It seemed that it was time to train this nephew and see how strong he really was.

"Alright, alright, since you've fought, did your weapon retain any traces of the opponent's chakra?"

Uchiha Gin was very confident that he could simulate even the slightest trace of chakra.

"No, I was fighting those two brats with my bare hands, and they were screaming like mad!"

Uchiha Tajima shook his head, indicating that he had defeated the two Senju clan members with just his iron fists, sending them running away in terror.

"No bragging, we're still good uncle and nephew."

Uchiha Gin rolled his dead fish eyes and said with utter helplessness,

"Really! I fought those two kids using Susanoo, and I definitely didn't use any weapons."

In the end, Uchiha Tajima confessed to what he had done.

This is troublesome, as no trace of chakra can be left on Susanoo!

It seems I'll have to make the trip tonight; hopefully I'll make it in time.

Having made up his mind, Uchiha Gin prepared to set off immediately to sneak into the Senju clan's territory and collect the chakra of those two brats.

"Wait, there are indeed no traces of chakra left on my Susanoo, but there might be remnants elsewhere."

Watching Uchiha Gin's disappointed departure, Uchiha Tajima pondered for a moment and called out to him.

Then, the two of them slipped out of the window at the same time, and in a few quick movements, they arrived at an open space outside the clan's territory.

"Hehe, Uncle, did you get a punching mark on your face?"

Uchiha Gin recalled what his cousins ​​had said about their uncle returning with his face covered in blood. Immediately, his imagination ran wild, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud at the image of Uchiha Tajima being smeared in the face by Hasi Hot Mom Dafo.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Seeing Uchiha Gin's mocking gaze, Uchiha Tajima was so angry he gritted his teeth. It seemed it was time to show him what his uncle was capable of.

After thinking it over, his eyes flashed with crimson light. The three magatama spun and merged, transforming into a familiar shuriken pattern. A silver-gray light rose behind him, and as the light intensified, it eventually transformed into a silver-gray half-giant.

"Wow~ Uncle, your Susanoo is really amazing!"

Looking at the silver-gray Susanoo that enveloped Uchiha Tajima, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but sigh, because the Susanoo's appearance was seven-tenths similar to the father of Ultraman he knew in his previous life.

With the same body color, two huge horns pointing to the sky extend from the top of its head, and two large, egg-shaped eyes set into its smooth face, the mask around its mouth is decorated with a ring of beard-like protrusions, exuding a majestic yet slightly defeated air.

"Aowei? What does that mean?"

Hearing Uchiha Gin's sarcastic remark, Uchiha Tajima, still in Susanoo, asked curiously,

"Don't worry about it. As long as your opponent isn't a 'hook-faced' guy, you're an invincible war god."
