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

Chapter 159 Please Don't Doubt My Unparalleled R&D Talent

Left with no other choice, Madara Uchiha vividly recounted to the slightly annoyed Mio what had happened after Gin Uchiha's death.

Although the topic was very unscientific, the old man listened patiently with a frown, out of respect for Madara Uchiha's identity.

"Snap! I get it."

As expected of Uchiha Miao, he was a master in this field. From Madara Uchiha's description alone, he deduced the general idea, then slapped his palm, looking as if he had suddenly understood, and continued...

"From what you're saying, it seems that after Uchiha Gin died for some time, the tattoo on his forehead underwent a strange change, from which a huge amount of Yang Release chakra was generated out of thin air. While repairing his fatal wounds, it also awakened his life force."

"That's right, that's exactly it!"

It's much easier to talk to someone with a brain. If it were a hothead, I'd probably be so angry I'd pull out my oxygen tube.

"When did the tattoo disappear?"

Uchiha Miao raised his head, his withered face filled with contemplation, because Uchiha Gin, who was lying on the hospital bed, had a smooth forehead without the strange markings that Uchiha Madara had mentioned.

"Once the wound heals and life returns, the tattoo will gradually disappear."

Madara Uchiha recalled that on the way back, Gin Uchiha's physical signs had returned to normal, the lines on his cheeks were slowly fading, and the tattoos that were already there had also disappeared.

"It seems that Uchiha Gin has mastered a secret technique that can stimulate cell activity and achieve the effect of resurrection."

Uchiha Miao nodded, having guessed Uchiha Gin's Creation Rebirth Technique with remarkable accuracy.

"Why is my cousin still unconscious?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Miao's deduction, Uchiha Madara breathed a sigh of relief, but then, remembering his cousin who had been sleeping, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Any power that transcends the norm comes at a tremendous cost. The life-or-death secret technique used by Uchiha Gin must have come at an extremely high price."

Uchiha Miao's brows furrowed deeply, her heart filled with worry for Uchiha Gin's condition. Her tone was unusually heavy as she prepared to voice the worst-case scenario.

Sensing the regret in Uchiha Miao's tone, Uchiha Madara's heart tightened, and he instantly fell into an emotional state.

It's all my fault, if it weren't for me...

"Elder Miao! Uchiha Gin..."

Just as Uchiha Miao was about to pronounce the verdict that Uchiha Gin, lying on his sickbed, might never wake up, a hurried voice burst in.

"What's wrong? Why are you so panicked? This is utterly disrespectful!"

Uchiha Miao frowned, looking displeased at the intruding researcher, and coldly reprimanded him. Then, turning to the dejected Uchiha Madara, he said apologetically...

"Please excuse my poor performance, young clan leader. Let's continue with the situation of Uchiha Gin..."

"Elder Miao, Uchiha Gin has woken up!"

"Uchiha Gin's secret technique may have depleted his soul power, which is why he fell unconscious..."

"Elder! Elder! Can you hear me?"

"Shut up! Can't you see I have important matters to discuss with the young clan leader?"

Uchiha Miao was annoyed by his subordinate's interruptions and prepared to teach this tactless fellow a lesson later.

"Young clan leader, let's continue, Uchiha Gin..."

Uchiha Miao composed herself, regaining her cool demeanor, and prepared to continue explaining her deductions.

"Elder Miao, shouldn't we hear what your subordinates have to say?"

Madara Uchiha, with a strange expression, looked at the researcher who was anxiously scratching his head and reminded him.

"Young clan leader, please be kind and speak quickly!"

Uchiha Miao turned to his approaching subordinates and spoke, his eyes filled with a chilling glint.

"Young Clan Chief, Elder Miao, Uchiha Ginta has woken up!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this news, Uchiha Miao felt as if he had been slapped hard in the face. Luckily, he hadn't said anything like Uchiha Gin would never wake up, or he would be mortified.

"Really?! I'll go check!"

Overjoyed, Madara Uchiha no longer cared about admiring the old tree in full bloom, and rushed towards Gin Uchiha's hospital room without looking back.

"Oh dear, little cousin, I can't move my arms, my legs, my chest, or my mouth. Hurry up and peel an orange for me to quench my thirst."

Before even reaching the ward, Madara Uchiha heard Gin Uchiha's cheeky voice. His hand, which was resting on the doorknob, froze, and tears finally welled up in his eyes.

So he stood at the door, calmed his agitated emotions, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath, put on his usual indifferent expression, and slowly pushed open the ward door.

"Cousin, you're pretty hard to kill!"

"Tsk! Listen to this, are you even speaking human language?"

Gin Uchiha, who was lying in bed pretending to be sick, was joking around with Izuna Uchiha, who was crying tears of joy. He was about to greet Madara Uchiha, who walked in with a cold expression, when the first thing Madara said made him lose his composure, his eyes rolling so far they seemed to reach the moon.

"How did you survive?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin looking so energetic, Uchiha Madara's eyes filled with joy. He turned and glanced at Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Tajima, and Uchiha Osamu in the ward. After confirming that there were no strangers, he asked the question that the others had been wanting to know the answer to.

"Sigh~ It all started a few years ago, late at night. I only remember that the sky was high and the clouds were light, the sun was shining brightly."

Upon hearing the question, Uchiha Gin instinctively started rambling, but when he looked up and saw Uchiha Madara's displeased expression, he immediately stopped his nonsense, gave an embarrassed smile, and resumed his serious demeanor, explaining...

"Ahem. Brother Lao, you know about my older cousin's situation; his health has never been very good."

"Hmph! You don't talk like your father at all; you're all glib and never tell the truth!"

Following closely behind Madara Uchiha, Miao Uchiha also pushed open the door and entered. He overheard Gin Uchiha's words, immediately snorted coldly, and bluntly exposed his lie.

"Your physical condition is clearly excellent, so how can you say you're physically weak?"

Tsk! This old man talks too much. Believe me or not, I'll burn newspapers for you when I visit your grave!

"Elder E'miao is right!"

Having already made up his mind, Uchiha Gin gave a thumbs-up, his face showing complete agreement.

"But that's now. I used to be physically weak, as everyone knows, right?"

Uchiha Gin's expression first darkened, then a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes as he continued,

"That's true."

Uchiha Miao stroked his beard, his face filled with reminiscence. For a long time after that incident more than ten years ago, he was responsible for monitoring Uchiha Gin's health.

The memory of the other person's mutilated body, even after so many years, was still vivid in his mind, sending chills down his spine.

"I've been studying diligently for years to improve my health, working day and night. Just ask me, I'm practically suffering from hypoglycemia!"

Uchiha Silver, his face expressionless and his heart unwavering, began his performance, speaking with absolute certainty as if he had indeed done it.

"Mr. Eguchi does seem to have a fondness for sweets, perhaps that's true?"

Uchiha Rinpoche, who was in a daze, looked confused for a moment when asked the question, then his eyes darted around before he gave a very sincere answer.

"See? I told you so!"

Uchiha Ginichi clapped his hands, casting a spell to interrupt everyone's thoughts. He couldn't let these guys use their brains, otherwise his words would definitely not stand up to scrutiny.

"Heaven rewards those who persevere. Perhaps my efforts moved the ancestors of the Uchiha clan, and I finally managed to develop a medical ninjutsu."

"Achoo!!! Sorry, cousin, please continue."

Madara Uchiha, who had suddenly sneezed, rubbed his sore nose in confusion and said apologetically,

"Big cousin, you've got this skill?"

Uchiha Izuna, standing nearby, was utterly astonished, his eyes sparkling.

"Hehe, my research and development talent is quite strong, you know~"

Uchiha Gin had a prominently upturned nose, and he spoke with a somewhat arrogant air.

Upon hearing this, everyone else thought Uchiha Gin was bragging, but Uchiha Tajima and Uchiha Miao frowned.

They were very clear about Uchiha Gin's background. If he really inherited his father's genes and had such genius research talent, it was not impossible.

"Alright, let's assume it's a secret technique you developed. There are no outsiders here now. Could you briefly explain what this 'resurrection' technique of yours is?"

Adhering to a rigorous scientific attitude, Uchiha Miao was determined to get to the bottom of things.

"Well, there's no other way~ then I'll tell you about it!"

With an expression that said, "I really can't do anything with you," Uchiha Gin spread his hands and began to explain.

"My technique is called Yin Seal. It allows skilled users of the 'Aba Aba' to achieve the effect of preserving youth and improving physical function by using the low output and micro-adjustment of chakra within the mark on their forehead, thus keeping their physical function at its peak."

Uchiha Gin then proceeded to recount all the information he had about the Yin Seal to everyone present.

Because his lecture was indeed very academic, everyone present, whether they understood it or not, put on a thoughtful expression, afraid that their lack of knowledge would be discovered.

"Hmm, hmm, I see~"

Uchiha Miao had a knowing look on his face. As soon as Uchiha Gin finished speaking, he clicked his tongue in amazement. This guy really knows everything.

"This technique is truly terrifying!"

Uchiha Tajima followed closely behind, praising him incessantly, "Uncle, what are you looking away from?"

"ha?"

Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha exchanged a glance, both looking bewildered and impressed.

"To preserve youthful appearance, right?"

Only Uchiha Rin noticed the phrase "preserving youth" in Uchiha Gin's last words. His gaze swept over Gin's unchanging face over the years, and he silently made a decision.

Learn it! You have to learn this trick no matter what!

"Alright, since Ah Yin is alright, let's not disturb his rest."

When Uchiha Gin revealed the answer, Uchiha Tajima, with a slight shift in his gaze, waved his hand, signaling everyone not to stay there any longer and to let the patient rest.

"Big cousin! Don't wander around the ward. I'll bring you some oranges tomorrow!"

Uchiha Izuna waved excitedly, leaving Uchiha Gin with only his back turned.

Tsk, why do I feel like this kid is taking advantage of me?

"Cousin, take good care of yourself. We'll continue our special training once you've recovered."

Madara Uchiha straightened up, a rare look of expectation on his cold face, and then turned and left.

"Mr. Gin, I'll go back and inform Hikaru-senpai and Itama first. We'll come to see you together tomorrow."

Uchiha Rinpoche could no longer stay, so he bowed slightly and took his leave.

"I'll go take another look at the test report."

Uchiha Miao intended to stay and continue questioning Uchiha Gin about the details of the secret technique. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Uchiha Tajima's suggestive gaze and immediately understood. He then turned around and left the ward under an excuse.

Uchiha Gin watched as Uchiha Tajima dismissed everyone, raised an eyebrow, stopped pretending to be weak, jumped off the bed, picked up an apple from the table, took a bite, and quickly spat it out after discovering a worm in it.

"Pah! Pah! Uncle? Is there something else?"

"Ah Yin, tell me honestly, did Uchiha Yao teach you this secret technique?"
