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

Chapter 182 I'm sorry, I just went blind.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

In the silent night, a powerful aura, like a raging storm, suddenly erupted, causing the artificial moon, which had hung high in the sky for thousands of years, to tremble slightly. The originally bright moonlight became hazy and distorted, shining on the cold and beautiful face of Ōtsutsuki Tsukihime, giving people a sense of time and space displacement.

"Chieftain, please calm your anger!"

The sudden surge of power emanating from Tsukihime terrified Ayakata. Under the gaze of her pure, white eyes, a pressure emanating from her very blood made her legs go weak. With a thud, she collapsed to her knees, her broad forehead pressed against the ground, cold sweat pouring down her face. Her words trembled as she spoke…

This momentum

He seems to be much better than my older cousin.

Unlike Otsutsuki Hikari's disrespectful behavior in front of the palace, Uchiha Gin, who hunched over and tried his best to minimize his presence, was not affected much by the overwhelming aura of the figure girl in front of him. Instead, he compared the aura she exuded with that of Uchiha Madara and finally voted for the figure girl.

As the saying goes, one should help those who are reasonable, not those who are close to them, but she is simply too big for her britches.

"Otsutsuki Hikawa, do you know your crime?"

Looking down at Otsutsuki Hikari, who was nodding vigorously, Otsutsuki Tsukihime slowly spoke, her tone as cold as a biting wind, chilling everyone to the bone.

"Chief, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have had such thoughts!"

Otsutsuki Hikari trembled as he sat up, his white eyes filled with fear. He wept bitterly and began to apologize. It seemed that the clan leader was angry with him for not handing over Mr. Silver. He was truly tyrannical.

He glanced at Uchiha Gin, who was slacking off behind him, and sighed inwardly. It seemed that Mr. Gin was in for a tough time tonight.

"Sigh~ Considering you are an elder of the clan, and the Otsutsuki clan is in a time of great need for reconstruction, I will forgive you this time. I hope you can reflect on your actions and not do such incomprehensible things again."

Seeing the remorseful expression on Otsutsuki Hikari's face, Otsutsuki Tsukihime withdrew her aura. After all, everyone makes mistakes, and one shouldn't condemn such a hardworking elder of the clan outright. A gentle reprimand would suffice.

"The chieftain is merciful!"

Otsutsuki Hikari, who had been struggling to breathe under the pressure, suddenly felt a lightness in her body. The heavy pressure from before vanished, and upon hearing Otsutsuki Tsukihime's words, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and banged her head on the ground.

"Ha~ You may leave now. Remember, this is a one-time exception!"

After dealing with Otsutsuki Hikari, Otsutsuki Tsukihime yawned, looking sleepy, then turned her back and waved her hand, indicating that the other party could leave.

"This subordinate takes his leave."

Although she escaped unscathed, Otsutsuki Hakuro was not happy at the moment. Looking at the weary Otsutsuki Tsukihime, her high emotional intelligence allowed her to instantly understand the other party's implication.

It seems the clan chief is going to sleep; Mr. Yin is doomed.

With a melancholy look, she glanced at Uchiha Gin with a reluctant gaze, sighed softly, and then turned to leave.

I should be under the car, not inside it.

Uchiha Gin was about to follow, but she waved him off. Otsutsuki Bakuro lowered his head, avoiding his gaze, but one could still see water droplets silently falling from the side.

What do you mean? I haven't even gotten on the bus yet.

With a dull thud as the door closed, a bewildered Uchiha Gin was left standing there by Otsutsuki Hikari. Even with his overloaded brain, he couldn't understand why he was left there.

Helpless, Uchiha Gin, who had minimized his presence, could only stay where he was, waiting for the cold and aloof figure girl on the high seat to decide his fate.

Hello, I am...

But after a while, Uchiha Gin, who had mentally prepared a long self-introduction, realized that the other party seemed to have forgotten about him. So he decided to take the initiative and give the other party a splendid self-introduction. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard a jubilant voice.

"Hey, finally everything's alright! Go get me some fries from the kitchen!"

The previously icy beauty, Tsukihime Otsutsuki, tossed aside her heavy robe, revealing a thin, form-fitting tank top and shockingly short hot pants. She casually sat cross-legged on the ground, pulled a book with a rose-embroidered cover from behind her, and a contrasting, charmingly innocent expression appeared on her usually aloof face. Looking down at the puppet that had been standing motionless beside her, she excitedly gave commands…

This look is just like a shut-in letting loose after everyone else in the family goes out.

"Cough cough."

Uchiha Gin felt that if he didn't make a sound, he might see more things later, and then the only option left would be to destroy the evidence.

"Little Black, why are you coughing?"

Otsutsuki Tsukihime, engrossed in a romantic Mary Sue novel, frowned instinctively upon hearing a sudden cough in the otherwise peaceful space. She glanced disapprovingly at the other puppet beside her and pouted, asking...

"Master, it wasn't me."

The black puppet, identical to those of the Otsutsuki clan, replied solemnly, its yellow eyes constantly fixed on Uchiha Gin below, as if engaged in a mental battle.

"It's him, Master."

A puppet's life is also a life, and he won't take the blame for this.

Immersed in her pink fantasy, Tsukihime Otsutsuki felt an unusual friction between her legs, making her fair and tender area itchy. So she casually reached out and scratched it, looking completely unconcerned. It was clear that this was how she was when no one was around.

"Huh? What did you say? What do you mean, 'him'?!"

Feeling incredibly refreshed after using it, Tsukihime Otsutsuki subconsciously brought her delicate fingers, which she had just used, to her nose and smelled them, revealing an expression of ecstasy. Upon hearing the reminder from the black puppet beside her, she frowned slightly, impatiently raising her head, ready to give the rambling puppet a good scolding. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, thanks to the Byakugan's super-strong dynamic vision, she finally spotted Uchiha Gin, who had been concealing his aura and hiding in the corner, and instantly turned pale.

"Excuse me, where am I?"

Realizing he had seen something he shouldn't have, Uchiha Gin immediately put on his dramatic act. He extended a wooden staff from behind his back, his black eyes devoid of any light, and tapped the ground with the staff, feigning confusion as he asked a question.

"Still looking? Who are you?!"

Unexpectedly, her shameful secret, which she had hidden for many years, was seen through by a foreigner. Overwhelmed with shame and indignation, Tsukihime Otsutsuki grabbed her long robe from the ground and wrapped it around her exquisite body. However, the fabric was limited, and her long, slender, fair legs were still exposed. Her ten small and lovely toes had nowhere to go and could only curl up like silkworms, not daring to stick out even a little bit.

"Hello, I'm just an ordinary passerby who was somehow dragged here."

Uchiha Gin's eyes, filled with a gloomy aura, were fixed on the exposed flesh of Otsutsuki Tsukihime, but his face was tinged with sadness, as if he were oblivious to the beauty before him. He tapped the ground rhythmically with his wooden cane as he moved his feet carefully.

"Can't you see it?"

Having calmed down, Tsukihime Ōtsutsuki, with a lingering blush on her face, narrowed her white eyes slightly and asked with a hint of doubt,

"Sigh~"

Uchiha Gin was delighted to hear this, but a bitter look appeared on his face. He did not answer Otsutsuki Tsukihime's words, but stared at her long legs with his colorless eyes.

"Forehead"

Seeing Uchiha Gin's gloomy expression, Otsutsuki Tsukihime's face flashed with panic. Although she had been the clan leader for decades and was good at fighting, she was completely ignorant of human relationships. Despite being decades older, her mind was no different from that of a sixteen-year-old girl.

"Little Black, go give him a try."

Although Uchiha acted like a blind person, Tsukihime Otsutsuki still vaguely sensed that there was something wrong with the way he was looking at her, which made her feel a little hot. So she waved her hand and asked the puppet next to her to test whether he was pretending to be blind or really blind.

"Whoosh~"

Upon receiving the order, the black puppet instantly sprang into action, appearing in front of Uchiha Gin in a flash. It stretched out its palm, and a row of gleaming blades sprang from its fingertips, stabbing towards those dark, gray eyes.

"Buzz~~~"

A loud bang echoed through the air as the gleaming blade stopped less than a centimeter from his eyeball. Faced with this sudden attack, Uchiha Gin didn't even blink, letting the deadly cold light flash before his eyes.

"Hmm~ It seems he really is blind."

Ōtsutsuki Tsukihime, who had been observing, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the other party didn't even raise an eyelid when facing the sharp blade, and asked,

"Are you the man who came from the ground, as mentioned in Elder Biluo's plan?"

"If there are no other men, then it must be me."

Uchiha Gin gave a slight bow, openly eating his ice cream with his eyes wide open, while maintaining a nonchalant tone.

"Did it really come from the ground? Is it fun down there?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Gin's admission, Otsutsuki Tsukihime immediately became interested and ran over to Uchiha Gin, looking the man who had come from the ground up and down.

Just as Elder Biluo had said, he was indeed handsome. Looking at Uchiha Gin's handsome face, Otsutsuki Tsukihime subconsciously compared him with the clansmen she had seen before, and immediately gave a big X to those male clansmen who went to report to Otsutsuki Hamura.

"It's quite interesting; there are all sorts of people on the ground, and lots of delicious food and beautiful scenery."

Uchiha Gin smiled slightly and began to explain the various features on the ground to the curious Otsutsuki Tsukihime, whose white eyes gleamed with admiration as she listened.

"Beautiful scenery? You can see it?"

Hearing the description of mountains and rivers, Tsukihime Otsutsuki, who had been listening with great interest, frowned and realized she had missed a crucial detail.

"Ahem. I just went blind. I was fortunate enough to witness a very large and white landscape before~"

That's right, it really was just now. I, Uchiha Gin, am always honest.
