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

Chapter 160 Is there ever a crown prince who can live for twenty years?

"ha?"

Just as Uchiha Gin threw the apple in his hand into the trash can, he heard Uchiha Tajima's strange question, which involved the already deceased Old Man, leaving him momentarily speechless.

"really!"

Seeing the hesitant Uchiha Gin, Uchiha Tajima thought he had guessed correctly, and then sighed, his eyes filled with deep remorse.

He wanted to explain, but seeing his uncle's "I understand" expression, Gin Uchiha couldn't bring himself to refute him and could only cautiously ask,

"You think Uchiha Yao taught me that?"

"Otherwise what? Such profound secret techniques are not something a greenhorn like you can research. It takes many years of targeted experiments to create such magical secret techniques."

Uchiha Tajima shook his head, recalling his learned teacher, and sighed.

"This secret technique seems to have been developed specifically to save your body. I can't imagine anyone in the world, other than Uchiha Yao, who would develop such a ninjutsu for you."

I never expected my uncle to be such a good writer of fantasies.

"If I'm not mistaken, a long time ago, Uchiha Yao approached you. Seeing how bad your physical condition was, he developed the 'Yin Seal' specifically for your body."

No, don't jump to conclusions.

"If you say so, then so be it~"

Listening to Uchiha Tajima's wild imagination, Uchiha Gin rolled his eyes to the point of near evolution. Fine, fine, you're the clan leader, you're right about everything.

Since there was no way to prove it since the dead were dead, Gin Uchiha didn't continue to refute it, taking it as an admission, which saved a lot of trouble.

"Although the teacher made a mistake before he passed away, his love for you was genuine, and I hope you will not blame him."

Uchiha Tajima, having come to understand why Uchiha Gin denied teaching him the secret technique, thought it was because of Uchiha Yao's rebellious behavior before his death. He comforted Gin, hoping he would not live in pain in the future.

Um, Uncle, you're actually a really nice guy!

Uchiha Gin peeled a banana, and after finding nothing wrong with it, he popped it into his mouth. Looking at the kind-faced Uchiha Tajima, he asked,

"Phew~ Uncle, your cousins ​​have really seen something new. What are your plans now?"

Uchiha Tajima stared at his nephew, whose mouth was stuffed up like a hamster's, and his breath caught in his throat. He couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Can this kid be relied on in the future?"

"Actually, I had an idea before we set off, and I was still considering it, but I didn't expect Madara and Izuna to be so capable. Now that I've said it, I don't feel any pressure."

Composing himself, Uchiha Tajima turned his gaze to the window, watching the new sun rise over Sky City, and said in a cryptic tone,

"What is it? Hesitating like this isn't like you."

Uchiha Gin swallowed the banana, turned to look at Uchiha Tajima, whose face was full of questions, and said...

"I want to abdicate and let Madara succeed me as clan leader."

Uchiha Tajima turned his gaze from the sun back to Uchiha Gin, and slowly delivered this bombshell news.

"Huh? Uncle, you're still in your prime, why are you thinking of retiring?"

Uchiha Gin looked at Uchiha Tajima with surprise. His uncle's eye technique was above average, and his eyesight wasn't bad enough to warrant glasses. Why was he thinking of retiring and enjoying his old age?

"Actually, I had this idea a long time ago. I had this thought when we rescued Uchiha Hikaru."

Uchiha Tajima didn't shy away from expressing his thoughts directly, stating that even if the girl in the Uchiha Gin family had a special identity, she couldn't escape the fate of fighting for her clan.

"Uh, you really dare to say that. Aren't you afraid I'll run away with Xiaoguang?"

Uchiha Gin naturally understood the subtext in Uchiha Tajima's words. With a blank expression and deadpan eyes, he asked his serious-looking uncle,

"Hmph! Our Uchiha clan has not fallen so low that we need to force our clansmen to do things they don't want to do."

Uchiha Tajima's eyes were sharp, and he spoke of his clan with immense pride.

"Excellent work, deserves a reward!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin gave his uncle a big thumbs up. It really is true that you can't judge a book by its cover.

Uchiha Tajima, the mastermind behind the Sengoku period, may have a sinister and ruthless appearance, but everything he did was aboveboard and honorable.

"I just didn't expect that Senju Butsuma's son would grow to such a level. No matter what, Madara was no match for him before, so I can't back down yet."

Uchiha Tajima touched his eyeball, recalling the scene of his fierce battle with that wooden Arhat, and his ruptured eye corner throbbed with pain.

"However, now, if Madara has Izuna's help, dealing with that Senju kid shouldn't be too difficult."

Recalling the performance of his two sons after they awakened their Sharingan, Uchiha Tajima nodded with great satisfaction.

Although these two kids are still a bit naive in their kaleidoscope skills, with a little targeted training, their future abilities will definitely not be inferior to mine.

No, no, no, right now the prisoners are just in the newbie protection period. Once the other side logs in again, my cousin will still only get beaten up.

In Uchiha Gin's mind, the image of the future Thousand-Armed Buddha appeared. When Hasi Hot Mom's face was revealed, the enormous Nine-Tails would only be a kitten in front of it, not to mention the big cousin hanging on the Nine-Tails.

Haha, a fully-fledged Susanoo? Just a toy for the Great Buddha~

What do you think?

Seeing that Uchiha Gin looked thoughtful, and assuming that he was considering his words, Uchiha Tajima asked for his opinion.

"Excellent! With my two cousins ​​working together, the Thousand Hands Clan is nothing but a bunch of worthless bastards."

Uchiha Gin reluctantly spoke the truth, which prompted Uchiha Tajima to nod in agreement repeatedly.

"Although I don't think it's a big problem, just to be on the safe side, I hope you can help them out at a crucial moment."

"ha?"

Are you suggesting I perform the Su Nuo ritual?

"Cough cough cough Uncle, you really overestimate me. In this performance, in order to make it as realistic as possible, we did it all with real weapons. That heart-piercing stab I gave you was a real one. If it weren't for the secret technique, you could be eating at a banquet right now."

Uchiha Gin swiftly lay back down on the hospital bed, and said in an extremely weak voice, choking back tears,

"Stop, stop, stop! I'm not asking you to get involved yourself. Your family and your apprentice are not to be underestimated."

Uchiha Tajima said with a dark expression, "I didn't expect Uchiha Gin to take action personally."

His nephew's strength was fluctuating, making him somewhat unsure of what to do. However, considering that the other party hadn't awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, even with many tricks up his sleeve, he figured the nephew couldn't be that strong.

"Oh my god, you should have said so earlier! You scared me to death!"

Upon hearing that Uchiha Tajima was referring to Hikaru and Uchiha Gin, Uchiha Gin immediately breathed a sigh of relief. When it comes to fighting Sukuna, it's always the one who pilots the Gundam who gets to decide.

"No problem! Leave Xiao Guang and Xiao Zhili to me, I'll definitely raise them to be plump and healthy for the clan."

Thinking of this, Uchiha Gin patted his chest and promised,

"I'm relieved to hear that."

Although Uchiha Gin is not very reliable, he is very useful in critical moments. With his help, Madara should be able to take on the position of clan leader.

"In that case, I'll go back and draft the announcement. You should rest and recuperate for a while!"

Without further ado, Uchiha Tajima couldn't wait any longer. He got up, told Uchiha Gin, and turned to leave.

"Hey, Uncle! Didn't you say that after this was done, I could retire and live a peaceful life in the rear?"

Watching Uchiha Tajima's hurried retreating figure, Uchiha Gin suddenly remembered their earlier agreement and shouted,

"Definitely by the end of the year!"

"Damn, it's only January!"

Uchiha Gin gave his uncle a big middle finger as he looked at his back.

the next day.

"Big cousin! I'm coming in!"

As the door was violently kicked open, Uchiha Izuna, his hands full of gifts, walked in with a smile.

"Hey kid, could you please not use those 'Fat Tiger' lines next time? It might cause some people with ulterior motives to misunderstand our relationship."

Uchiha Gin poked his head out from under the covers, looked at his beaming little cousin, and with deadpan eyes, dejectedly suggested...

"Oh, I'll definitely do it next time! Let's not talk about that now, get up and eat some oranges!"

Uchiha Izuna grinned and pulled out several fruits from the bag that looked quite familiar to Uchiha Gin.

"Wait a minute, little cousin, which one is an orange?"

Looking at the oddly shaped fruit with its peel still attached, Uchiha Gin asked with a slight hesitation,

"Oh? Of course! The doctor said you're deficient in Vitamin C. I asked the fruit shop owner, and he said this is the best source of Vitamin C, so I bought you a lot. Make sure you eat it all!"

Having said that, he skillfully peeled open the bright yellow fruit, revealing the golden berries inside, and presented it to Uchiha Gin with a look of pure delight.

"Eat up, big cousin, it's very nutritious. Eat one without making a sound."

"Get lost! You try eating one, then? I told you a long time ago, this is a lemon!"

Uchiha Gin, smelling the pungent sour odor at the tip of his nose, kicked his little cousin with fire in his eyes. This kid is so big, why can't his cerebellum develop?

"Huh? Isn't it an orange?"

Uchiha Izuna got up from the ground, looking at the mangled fruit in his hand with a puzzled expression, and asked in confusion,

"Although it's a bit difficult to peel, look, isn't it exactly the same as an orange?"

"Looks like even a kaleidoscope can't cure your eyesight. You're beyond help. You can leave now!"

Uchiha Gin was heartbroken, wondering how he had ended up with such a younger brother, who would surely be seduced and seduce by others in the future.

"Fine, I'll eat it!"

Uchiha Izuna was speechless with anger. He was truly ungrateful for such a kind offer. After saying this, he put the lemon in his mouth and savored it.

"Ugh~~~"

"Ah~ right, right, right there! My little cousin's skills are truly beyond my reach. In the massage industry, I, Uchiha Gin, acknowledge you as the strongest!"

After the lemon incident, Uchiha Izuna had lost his previous arrogance. Feeling guilty, he was now massaging Uchiha Gin.

"Ding! Host failed, gained 10 units of Healing Power."

"Big cousin, I have some amazing news! Do you want to know?"

Uchiha Izuna was no longer the naive child he had been fooled by years ago. He ignored Uchiha Gin's strange remarks and instead raised his head, asking with a mysterious expression,

"Are you in a relationship?"

Uchiha Gin, enjoying his underling's massage, didn't even lift his eyelids, and casually replied,

"Huh? You didn't have that? It's not about that!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Gin's answer, Uchiha Izuna paused, a flicker of panic crossing his eyes, but it didn't last long before he continued.

"It's about my eldest brother."

"Um, let me guess, has my older cousin rebelled?"
