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

Chapter 176 The Official Story of Otsutsuki Hamura

In Uchiha Gin's mental space.

"Huh? Here's a stool, sit down and talk!"

Uchiha Gin, who was initially still sleepy, was instantly wide awake after hearing the explosive news about Otsutsuki Hamura.

He pulled out a stool from behind his back with a series of clever tricks, and solicitously arranged for his bewildered second great-uncle to sit down.

He conjured up a large, emerald-green watermelon, and with a single slice, sweet juice gushed out.

Hi, it's ready.

Grabbing a delicious slice of watermelon, Uchiha Gin squatted down, his face full of urgency, and spoke to the still-unresponsive Otsutsuki Hamura.

"Second Uncle, why didn't you say so? I've already prepared the melon seeds!"

"Hey! Treason!"

Hamura Otsutsuki clutched his chest, breathless. His blood pressure had skyrocketed because of Gin Uchiha's antics. Luckily, he was only a spirit now, or he would have been so angry that he would have vomited blood.

"Okay, okay, I just can't do anything with you."

Faced with his ancestor's reprimand, Uchiha Gin, realizing he had indeed gone too far, stood up apologetically and slowly walked to Otsutsuki Hamura, who was still catching his breath. He handed him the half-eaten watermelon and said helplessly,

"Get lost! Don't you know I have diabetes?"

Huh? So this problem is hereditary!

Uchiha Gin suddenly realized what was happening. Recalling his soaring blood sugar, he instantly shed tears of sadness. The watermelon illusion that had appeared before his eyes suddenly seemed rather tasteless, and he waved his hand to dispel the illusion in his mental space.

The surroundings vanished once more, and Otsutsuki Hamura, his expression cold and aloof, regained his previous seriousness. His dark Byakugan eyes stared intently at Uchiha Gin as he slowly spoke.

"Just now, I sensed my mother's presence."

"Stop! Before we get to that, can you explain to me who my mother is?"

Uchiha Gin made an X with his arm, his expression of confusion seemingly genuine, as if he were completely unfamiliar with the mother that Otsutsuki Hamura had mentioned.

"Haoyi didn't tell you?"

Now it was Hamura Otsutsuki's turn to look confused. Such a good prospect, and his older brother didn't nurture him. It seems he was really full.

"We are below them; the only way to see our ancestors is through death."

Uchiha Gin spread his hands, revealing a very embarrassed expression. After all, he had never died, and it was too early for him to pay homage to the Sage of Six Paths.

"Alright, give me a stool, and I'll tell you the story of the Goddess of the Rabbit."

Hamura Otsutsuki sighed. It seemed he would have to use his words again. So he waved his hand, signaling Gin Uchiha to conjure up a stool, as he was getting tired of standing for so long.

"Okay~"

Uchiha Gin tactfully pulled out a massage chair from behind his back and guided the curious Otsutsuki Hamura to lie down on it. As the sound of successful payment rang out, the massage chair began its debut in the ninja world.

"Buzzing"

"Huh? Huh! Huh~"

The massage chair's precise acupressure massage sent a shiver of pleasure through Otsutsuki Hamura, who was experiencing it for the first time. With several small drills kneading near his sphincter muscles, the second uncle, who had never felt so pleasurable in his life, couldn't help but let out a soft moan of pleasure.

"Second Uncle, was the force just right?"

At this moment, Uchiha Gin held a questionnaire in his hand, his expression questioning.

"That feels great! Even better than the massages from my thirty-six concubines!"

Already feeling a bit cocky, Otsutsuki Hamura squinted and subconsciously revealed some of his dirty secrets.

"Cough cough cough, what nonsense are you spouting? Let's get down to business! Business!"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki, belatedly realizing what was happening, jumped off the massage chair with a somewhat unnatural expression and reprimanded Gin Uchiha, who was giving him a mocking look.

"We, the Otsutsuki clan, have always valued diligence and thrift, and advocate taking pride in hard work and being ashamed of laziness."

"hehe."

"Hagoromo and I were not born of ordinary people, but were conceived from the legendary goddess of the rabbit."

Hamura Ōtsutsuki, his complexion restored to normal, began to recount his life story, his aged eyes filled with nostalgia.

"That year, Yu Yi was eighteen, standing like a lowly henchman."

The rest of the story is already familiar to everyone, so I won't write it down to avoid being accused of padding the plot.

"And so, under my brilliant command, that guy Yu Yi attacked from both sides. Relying on my clever mind and the Yin-Yang power in my hands, he sealed my mother, who had gone mad. The place where she was sealed became the moon. And I, for the sake of world peace, am willing to sacrifice my freedom to guard my mother here and prevent her from causing harm to the world."

Looking at Otsutsuki Hamura, who portrayed himself as the protagonist, Uchiha Gin, who was familiar with the plot, subconsciously rolled his eyes.

I don't know about this guy's other abilities, but his bragging skills are definitely top-notch among the Otsutsuki clan.

"Now you know, this is the official storyline. If Yu Yi tells you a different version later, don't be fooled!"

Reject piracy, starting with Otsutsuki.

"Clap clap clap~"

Uchiha Gin stood up, clapping his hands excitedly, looking at Otsutsuki Hamura with adoration, whose head was almost raised to the sky, and said in a trembling voice,

"My second great-uncle's great achievements will surely be widely publicized after I go down, so that the world will know that the legendary Six Paths Immortal is actually just a deceitful and charlatan!"

"Cough cough cough, there's no need for that. I, Hamura Otsutsuki, have lived a life of purity and detachment. Such empty fame is like fleeting clouds to me, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning at all."

Upon hearing Uchiha Gin's words, Otsutsuki Hamura, who had just been looking smug, suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on his back and swallowed hard.

His expression changed instantly, and he calmly stopped him, then stated that he was by no means a person seeking fame or fortune.

"I never expected my second great-uncle to be of such high moral character. It's truly shameful. If I ever have the chance to meet the Sage of Six Paths, I will definitely seek justice for you and make him lose face on the spot!"

Uchiha Gin clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with a righteous light that stung the guilty Otsutsuki Hamura, who could only manage an awkward smile before changing the subject.

"Let's not dwell on the past. Now, let me explain the current crisis to you."

"Second Uncle, please speak."

"Just yesterday, I suddenly sensed a hidden, dark power, but it wasn't strong, so I didn't pay any attention to it."

"~"

Hamura Otsutsuki's eyes gleamed with contemplation, while Gin Uchiha, who was fully aware of the origin of that power, had shifty eyes and even whistled, trying to conceal his inner unease.

"However, after that power overflowed, I discovered that my mother's aura within the seal had changed."

"What changes?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Gin was a little confused. When he activated Old Man's Mangekyou Sharingan, he didn't notice anything unusual.

"The mother's presence is missing!"

Hamura Otsutsuki frowned, his unease evident; he was very confident in his perception.

For a thousand years, his mother's breath had been steady, but just yesterday, a wisp of it was missing, which made him wary.

"Has this never happened before?"

Upon hearing this explosive news, Uchiha Gin was somewhat curious. Could Kaguya Otsutsuki still perform such an operation while sealed? If she could successfully escape, what would be the point of having Zetsuko?

"Um, I don't think so?"

Faced with Uchiha Gin's sudden question, Otsutsuki Hamura, whose face was usually resolute, hesitated for a moment, his dark Byakugan eyes darting around as if he were recalling something.

"You didn't just drift off, did you?"

Seeing his expression, Uchiha Gin's heart skipped a beat. He could tolerate his ancestor's lewdness and his rambling, but his stubbornness in performing his duties was truly unforgivable.

Fork it out and bury it!

"Ahem. When those rebellious sons from the branch family were fighting with the main family, I was quite busy, so I neglected to keep an eye on things."

Hamura Otsutsuki, who had been stabbed by Gin Uchiha, was immediately somewhat embarrassed, but still generously admitted his mistake.

Busy? Busy filming a movie, huh?

"There's nothing we can do about it. The Tenseigan made such a huge commotion that it might have even pierced through the earth's crust, tearing a small opening in Mother's seal. That's not impossible, is it?"

Hamura Otsutsuki vehemently defended himself for his negligence, but Gin Uchiha saw it as an attempt to shift blame.

"Now that it's already happened, how do you suggest we remedy the situation?"

Not wanting to make things difficult for his unreliable second great-uncle, Uchiha Gin took a deep breath to calm his unease and asked,

After all, the motivation was something they created themselves. What if Kaguya Otsutsuki escaped prematurely? Wouldn't that mean the end of the story prematurely, with everyone hanging from trees and turning into White Zetsu?

If I never see Konoha again, the place I've always longed for, then I'll never see it again.

"The most urgent task is to find the trace of Mother's presence, retrieve it, or eliminate it altogether."

"How do we find it?"

Uchiha Gin was completely bewildered; this part of the story hadn't been taught!

"Don't panic, I'll teach you a technique that can lock onto your mother's aura within a certain range."

Having lived with his mother for many years, Hamura Otsutsuki naturally possessed some means to recognize her aura. He immediately passed on the technique to Gin Uchiha, hoping that Gin could complete his new mission as soon as possible.

"Since we're already here, let's teach you the technique for controlling the Tenseigan as well!"

After memorizing the technique for identifying Kaguya Otsutsuki's aura, Uchiha Gin suddenly remembered his main mission.

If he really found the Tenseigan but couldn't control it, wouldn't it be a waste? So he spoke up again to remind him.

"Alright, then I'll teach you the summoning jutsu of the Tenseigan."

Since it was bound to belong to this kid sooner or later anyway, Otsutsuki Hamura didn't hold back and taught Uchiha Gin the technique of the Summoning Tenseigan.

"Wait! Second Grand Uncle, I already have the technique to summon the Tenseigan, why would I need to find some ghost? I can just summon the Tenseigan directly, right?"

Thinking he had discovered the blind spot, Uchiha Gin, after memorizing the summoning jutsu, asked a question with a wildly imaginative mind.

"Heh, you're dreaming!"

Hamura Otsutsuki didn't hold back when Uchiha Gin's wild ideas; he just rolled his eyes at him.

"Putting aside the fact that you didn't sign a contract with the Tenseigan, just the curses that the branch family has added to the Tenseigan over the years are enough to give you a hard time."

"Okay, I underestimated things."

Undeterred by his rejected idea, Uchiha Gin believed that the Tenseigan, which the Otsutsuki clan had worshipped for generations, would eventually be his for the taking.

However, the sudden appearance of the second hidden mission is giving him a bit of a headache.

That's Kaguya Otsutsuki! Are you really going to let him go alone?

The difficulty is no less than that of performing the Su Nuo ritual, and it is even closer to the task of "going to eliminate Tang Sanzang and his disciples"!

"Oh, right, I have something else to tell you."

Just as Otsutsuki Hamura was about to turn and disappear, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head, and said in a very strange tone,

His greyish eyes held a visible schadenfreude, along with a very subtle hint of envy.

"Just now, the last few male Otsutsuki on the moon came to report to me."

"???"

What does this mean? If the Otsutsuki clan has no men, then where will the future Otsutsuki Toneri come from? It can't be like Orochimaru, where they reproduce asexually, right?

"Wait, explain yourself clearly!"

Watching Hamura Otsutsuki's departing figure, Gin Uchiha, whose many questions remained unanswered, waved and shouted.

However, all that answered him was endless darkness.

the next day.

"Thump~ thump~~ thump~~~"

Uchiha Gin, sporting dark circles under his eyes, was awakened by a rhythmic knocking on the door. He sat up, rubbed his sore eyes, and let out a big yawn.

"Huh? Who is it?"

"Mr. Yin, it's time to get up and have your meal."

The black puppet's voice came from outside the door, followed by a faint aroma of food wafting in through the crack in the door.

Come in~

"Crunch!"

As Uchiha Gin spoke, the dormitory door opened, and several short figures carrying steaming hot food ran to his bedside.

"Please have a meal, Mr. Gin."

"Eat in bed?"

Looking at the several child puppets surrounding his bed, Uchiha Gin asked with some curiosity,

"Yes."

With a wave of its large hand, the black puppet conjured a small table on Uchiha Gin's bed, and the boy skillfully served him the food.

Tsk! The Otsutsuki clan is indeed arrogant, extravagant, and decadent; they must be sent to the countryside for a thorough reform!

"Thank you for the meal~"

I, the Uchiha, have worked hard my whole life, shouldn't I get to enjoy myself a bit?

After the storm had passed, Uchiha Gin, having finished tidying up, walked along the corridor of the Otsutsuki Palace. Looking at the puppets working diligently in the corridor, he couldn't help but ask the black puppet beside him a question.

"Does your Otsutsuki clan have no living servants?"

"No, every member of the Otsutsuki clan is an extremely noble being. How could we allow them to do such a lowly thing?"

The black puppet tilted its head, its yellow eyes lifeless, and remained silent in the face of Uchiha Gin's questions.

"Can I go out for a walk today?"

Although Otsutsuki Hikari's palace was large, after walking around it a few times, Uchiha Gin was already experiencing some aesthetic fatigue. With some ulterior motives in mind, he continued to ask the black puppet that was always by his side for advice.

"Wait a moment, I'll go ask my master."

A glint of blue light flashed in the black puppet's eyes, indicating that it was calculating something. After a moment, it bowed in farewell and walked towards the inner room that Uchiha Gin had never entered.

He left and returned in a hurry; within minutes, the black puppet returned, looked at Uchiha Gin waiting in place, and slowly spoke.

"My master said it's fine, but please don't stray too far from me, Mr. Silver."

"Yay!"

"Mr. Yin, please cherish your last moments of freedom."
