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

Chapter 163 The PY from Afar

"Pah! I treat you like a younger brother, and you treat me like a cousin?"

Uchiha Gin grumbled as he watched his younger cousin being taken away by the light screen, then reached out and clicked to learn the Great Fireball Technique that his cousin had unleashed.

"Learning the Great Fireball Technique... Host has been detected to have learned it, adaptively set to Mastery +1 (1 Mastery = 1% damage)."

Only after a system notification sounded did Uchiha Gin's expression improve somewhat.

Even 1% damage is acceptable; every little bit helps.

Feeling his body restored to its optimal state by the system, Uchiha Gin dusted himself off. His little cousin had just breathed fire, turning the entire backyard into a smoky mess. His morale seemed good, but the purity of his spirit was too low. He was truly getting more and more showy and impractical as he got older.

"Ha~ Today's a good day for sleeping in~"

Uchiha Gin hummed a strange, incomprehensible tune, then shook his hands, preparing to go home and lie down for the day. But you couldn't really blame him; after all, entertainment during the Warring States period was incredibly monotonous.

Not only was there no television or computer, but there weren't even any interesting comics or novels available. So, besides scrolling through his daily tasks, he spent his days sleeping. Even when his older cousin was leading a fierce battle against the Thousand Hands, he remained unmoved.

Anyway, my older cousin won't die, and my younger cousin has a divine artifact protecting him, so he's probably even tougher than Madara Uchiha.

Recalling the thorn vest and madman armor he had given to Uchiha Izuna at his coming-of-age ceremony a few years ago, he felt reassured. With those two pieces, even the Flying Thunder God Slash could be dulled.

"It's a pity that my older cousin is too proud and thinks that the Thornmail and Berserker are too ugly and not flashy enough. Otherwise, the two brothers would have worn them all, which would have made things twice as easy for me."

Uchiha Gin sighed, deeply regretting his younger cousin's lack of appreciation. Dance was harmful.

Hmph~ You'll get what's coming to you later!

"Who's there?"

Just as Uchiha Gin was about to step into his house, his heightened senses alerted him, telling him that someone was hiding nearby. He then narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping calmly towards the nearby jungle, and frowned as he spoke.

"Salad, salad."

With a rustling sound, a tall figure slowly emerged from the woods.

No wonder I only realized it when we were so close; it was her.

"Um, why are you here again?"

Uchiha Gin looked at the newcomer with a headache. He had just been here last month. Has transportation become this convenient now?

"What, Mr. Yin, you don't welcome me?"

A hint of melancholy appeared on the newcomer's beautiful face, and a misty layer rose in her dark eyes. Combined with her slightly pursed lips, it evoked a feeling of pity in one's heart.

"It's not that I don't welcome you, I just want to ask, are all the clan chiefs over there this free?"

Uchiha Gin reluctantly opened the door, gesturing for the other person to come inside, while subtly glancing at the newcomer's voluptuous figure, and asked with a hint of doubt,

"Huh? Didn't you teach me about shadow clones?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin open the door to welcome her in, the woman smiled and, without any hesitation, slipped inside.

"Ah~ It's so comfortable here! The office is just too stuffy~"

The woman swung her wooden clogs off as she entered the room, casually sprawled out on the sofa in the Uchiha Gin family's living room, and said with a relaxed expression,

Beneath the woman's white robe, a pair of long, slender, and fair legs swayed rhythmically. Perhaps due to her long-term life by the sea, her two delicate, white feet were as exquisite as the finest mutton-fat jade, with her silkworm-like toes slightly curled, as if they were a gift from heaven.

"What questions do you have for me this time?"

Seeing this alluring scene, Uchiha Gin subconsciously swallowed, forcibly suppressing the restlessness in his heart. He shifted his gaze to the two playful red buns on the woman's head and said,

"Can't I come to you if there's no problem? Mr. Human Trafficker~"

Hearing this, the woman sat up, somewhat annoyed. Her two magnificent, round breasts trembled slightly with her movements, startling Uchiha Gin so much that he didn't know which pair to look at.

"The situation outside is so serious right now, you should pay more attention to your own safety."

Stealing a few glances at the woman's magnificent figure, Uchiha Gin felt a surge of heat in his nostrils. Knowing that looking any longer might be embarrassing, he raised his head high, staring at the chandelier above, and slowly said...

"Hehe, Mr. Yin is worried about me, huh?"

Upon hearing this, the woman's alluring eyes flashed with a hint of spring water, and the corners of her mouth curled up as she asked in a teasing tone,

"That's natural."

Uchiha Gin answered seriously, his honesty revealing no trace of pretense.

If you die, wouldn't the gold bars I invested in you be wasted?

"Ha! Then I won't go back!"

Having gotten the answer she wanted, the woman turned over on the sofa, lay flat, and stared intently into Uchiha Gin's lifeless eyes. She spoke in a slightly joking tone,

"Hey, hey, hey! That won't do. Your people are waiting for you to lead them!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin panicked. This meant all his efforts in the Land of Whirlpools had been in vain; his entire investment had vanished.

"Hmph! Isn't there still Hanamichi-kun?"

The woman immediately became displeased upon hearing this, her pouting lips wide enough to hang three salted fish, and she said with a resentful expression,

"Forget it, that muscle-bound guy is getting sold out and still helping the seller count the money."

Thinking of that burly, handsome red-haired man, Uchiha Gin rolled his eyes helplessly. If the Land of Whirlpools were really handed over to that guy, the Uzumaki clan would have to exit the stage of history in just a few years.

"Waaaaah, it's not that I don't want to go to work! I just don't want to work!"

The woman immediately began to throw a tantrum, lightly kicking Uchiha Gin with both hands and feet, her pretty face filled with the bitterness of a corporate slave.

"Don't do that. You're the clan leader, you can't be so willful!"

Enjoying the barrage of playful punches and kicks, Uchiha Gin had no choice but to offer words of comfort.

"Hmph! How could you be so heartless!"

The girl, pouting, looked aggrieved, her beautiful eyes gazing pitifully at Uchiha Gin. She said with a slight smirk...

"It was for you that I broke the alliance with the Senju clan!"

"Stop! You only rejected the marriage proposal, how can that be considered breaking the alliance? Aren't your two races an unbreakable thousand-year alliance?"

Unable to contain himself any longer, Uchiha Gin used his other hand, which wasn't used to control his spear, to catch the woman's foot as she kicked at him, and said with a speechless expression,

"That's just how I see it!"

Regardless of whether what she was saying was right or wrong, the girl started arguing and kicking out with her other little foot, sending Uchiha Silver Mask into a frenzy. The two fought until they were drenched in sweat, and the surrounding air began to heat up.

"Wait! Someone's coming back!"

The two fighters, locked in fierce combat, simultaneously sensed an approaching presence from not far away, and both paused in their movements.

"Phew~ Let's continue our exchange and practice next time!"

The woman, whose face had been flushed just moments before, quickly straightened her disheveled clothes, adjusted her slightly loose red bun, and returned to her previous gentle demeanor. However, the allure in her eyes was unmistakable. She subtly licked her lips and spoke to Uchiha Gin in a seductive tone…

"Welcome back next time!"

Having barely calmed his agitation, Uchiha Gin could only slightly harden in welcome.

"By the way, I'm making some progress with the spell you gave me. You should be able to see the mark on my forehead next time we meet~"

The woman stood up, turned to Uchiha Gin who was leaning against the sofa, smiled and said something. Then she waved her hand and quietly left through the back door of the inner room.

"Sigh~ How did I end up getting involved with such a vixen!"

Looking at the other person's voluptuous and graceful back, Uchiha Gin pressed his small head and rubbed his big head, feeling extremely annoyed and self-reproachful.

"Thump!"

Less than a minute after the woman left, the Uchiha family's front door was violently forced open, and two tall figures strode in. One of them had bloodshot eyes and scanned the house inside and out.

Another figure with a slightly exaggerated build quickly checked back and forth in the rooms on the first floor, trying to figure out what he might have missed.

"Ah Yin, are you alone?"

A tall, red-eyed figure slowly walked to Uchiha Gin, who sat listlessly on the sofa. His eyes, adorned with three mysterious tomoe, stared emotionlessly at the guilty-looking curly-haired man, and he asked in a cold voice, "..."

"Haha, Xiao Guang, you're joking. Of course, I'm the only one in the house."

Almost rendered impotent by Uchiha Hikaru's gaze, Uchiha Gin chuckled and replied, his sincere gaze seemingly genuine.

"It's not inside."

Just then, a clear voice broke in. It was Senju Itama, who had already gone through puberty again. He was dressed in a long black robe, and his face, no longer childish, did not have the ruggedness that a grown man should have; it still had soft features.

Her large, dark eyes were now filled with confusion. She could clearly sense the chaotic aura emanating from Uchiha Gin inside the room; he must be doing something that couldn't be brought into the light.

"Tsk! What are you doing here, kid?"

It's one thing for Xiao Guang to check up on you, but what's with you looking like you've caught someone cheating?

"I promised Sister Zhili that I would monitor your words and actions to prevent you from going astray."

When asked about it, Senju Itama, who was already used to it, immediately and righteously stated that he was just helping a friend.

Uchiha Gin glanced at Senju Itama's fair neck and, noticing that his Adam's apple hadn't developed yet, couldn't help but think to himself,

Hey! Like a dog trying to catch a mouse, no wonder his voice hasn't finished changing yet, he's always worrying about this kind of trivial stuff.

Seeing that the two people in front of him were not going to let him off easily, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow, extended his finger, and swore a solemn oath.

"I, Uchiha Gin, swear in the name of my ancestors that I have absolutely not done anything shameful!"

Anyway, I've already posted it many times, so one more or one less won't make a difference.

Achoo!!!

A sudden sneeze caused Madara Uchiha, who was engaged in a serious battle inside the Gundam cockpit, to pause in his movements. As a result, the menacing Buddha in front of him found an opening and seized him.

"Mada! Shouldn't you admit defeat this time?"

Standing atop the Buddha's head, between the thousand-armed pillars, he shouted excitedly.

Having said that, he manipulated the tree branches that had sprung up from the ground and swept towards Uchiha Madara's Tengu Susanoo.

"Boom!~"

Before the wooden branch could even hit its target, it was severed by a long yellow sword that fell from the sky. A bright yellow Gundam arrived just in time to save Uchiha Madara, who had been accidentally captured.

"Big brother! How could you be distracted during a fight?"

Uchiha Izuna, dressed in a strangely designed suit of armor, had his two scarlet eyes filled with confusion. In his memory, his older brother was a very meticulous man.

"Ahem. Thank you, Izuna. But for some reason, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine just now."

After regaining his freedom, Madara Uchiha thanked his younger brother and then piloted the deep blue Gundam to continue his fierce battle with Hashirama Senju's wooden puppet.

Seeing that Madara Uchiha was unharmed, Izuna Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling the immense life force emanating from his armor, he turned and shouted loudly at a small blue figure not far away.

"I can do this all day!"
