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

Chapter 194 Returning to the Cave, Drawing the Sword Once More

The crisis that had plagued the Otsutsuki clan for many years was thus dramatically resolved. As Otsutsuki Tsukihime raised her hand and waved out a rainbow, the members of the Otsutsuki clan who received the assembly signal rushed to the signal transmission location.

Uchiha Gin, Otsutsuki Tsukihime, and Otsutsuki Hikari were standing beside a sinkhole in the primeval forest, craning their necks to look down. Beneath the crisscrossing rock pillars, there was a pool of crystal-clear water, faintly emitting a bluish-green light.

"Mr. Yin, please wait a moment while we organize a farewell party for you."

Having changed into a simple robe, the tall and slender Otsutsuki Hikari's beautiful eyes revealed reluctance, and her rosy lips were slightly downturned, her grievances overflowing.

"Hey, don't worry, I, Uchiha Silver Nickname Honest Young Man, will definitely pave the way for you."

Facing the burning gaze of Otsutsuki Biroku, Uchiha Gin pretended not to understand, and boldly patted his chest, assuring the two of them,

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

As the three chatted, dozens of figures arrived one after another. A complex fragrance wafted over them, causing Uchiha Gin to feel somewhat dazed.

The newcomers were all beautiful white-haired women, their white eyes filled with confusion.

Seeing the only man present, the dozens of Otsutsuki women couldn't help but start whispering among themselves.

Occasionally, a few outspoken individuals would even flirt with Uchiha Gin, their eyes overflowing with desire.

"quiet!"

Seeing so many clansmen coveting Uchiha Gin, Otsutsuki Hikari felt a surge of displeasure. He unleashed a powerful aura that made the clansmen with provocative eyes tense up, and they lowered their heads in fear.

"Ahem. This is Mr. Uchiha Gin. He has come with the mission of our ancestors to save our Otsutsuki clan and provide strong support for our revival plan."

Princess Tsukihime Ōtsutsuki began rambling on from her prepared script, much to the delight of her eager clansmen below.

Looking into Uchiha Gin's white eyes, there was a hint of bloodshotness, and his body unconsciously became a little wet.

"Hey, hey, hey, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Upon hearing this misunderstanding-filled opening, Uchiha Gin looked at the serious-looking Otsutsuki Tsukihime with a black line on his forehead. Is this girl really an airhead?

"Huh? Isn't that wrong?"

Ōtsutsuki Tsukihime flipped through the manuscript in her hand, her delicate brows furrowing, her small nose twitching, and the look of doubt on her face seemed genuine.

After thinking carefully for a moment, the little boy revealed a look of sudden realization, and his eyes were filled with disdain as he looked at Uchiha Gin.

"Sure enough, people with heart conditions see everything as dirty."

I will surely humiliate this girl!

"In short, Mr. Uchiha Gin will help us open the passage to the surface."

After rambling on and on about a bunch of nonsense, Tsukihime Otsutsuki finally got to the point. Hearing this good news, the Otsutsuki clan members immediately started chattering excitedly.

They had only ever glimpsed the ground through monitors; now, with the opportunity to go down there themselves, everyone's bodies trembled, and they entered a blissful fantasy.

"Hehe, I've seen lots of handsome guys down there~"

"Hmph! I think that old man is still quite charming."

"Hey! Since we live long lives anyway, wouldn't it be great to raise a cute boy from a young age?"

Hearing such provocative and suggestive words, Uchiha Gin felt a slight pang of guilt, but he truly couldn't bear this sweet burden alone.

Especially these Otsutsuki clan members, although they look like they are only in their thirties or forties, most of them are actually centenarians. I really can't handle them, so I'll leave them to the guys below!

"Quiet! Quiet! Stop acting like horny guys here. It's really beneath the dignity of the Otsutsuki clan."

Looking at her clansmen, who were completely absorbed in their pink bubble of joy, Tsukihime Otsutsuki frowned. She channeled her chakra into her voice, and the powerful pressure instantly brought them to their senses. Once they quieted down, she continued speaking.

"In order to avoid any breach of etiquette, our high-ranking members have unanimously decided, with Mr. Uchiha Gin acting as our facilitator, to establish an office for the Otsutsuki clan on the ground, where all clan members will take turns working on the ground according to seniority."

The plan was approved by a vote of the clan leader and the Grand Elder, with two votes in favor and zero votes against.

"Who agrees, who disagrees."

After Ōtsutsuki Tsukihime finished speaking, Ōtsutsuki Hikari looked up and glanced around at her clansmen, then coldly asked, "..." Seeing the silent crowd, she nodded in satisfaction, chuckled softly, and loudly announced,

"Hehe, since everyone agrees, then this plan is officially approved!"

"Clap clap clap~~"

Faced with this overt threat, the tribesmen below had some complaints, but there was nothing they could do. They could only grit their teeth and clap their hands, and for a moment the sound of clapping was deafening.

"Then let's bid farewell to Mr. Uchiha Gin. After he opens the passage, everyone will have a chance to go down and take turns on duty~"

With everyone's enthusiastic support, Tsukihime Otsutsuki stepped forward, raised her hands, and signaled to all her clansmen to send off Gin Uchiha.

"Waaaaah~ Mr. Uchiha Gin, I want to have your babies!"

"Mr. Yin, please hurry, I'm incredibly thirsty!"

"Mr. Silver"

Faced with the overwhelming enthusiasm of the Otsutsuki clan women, Uchiha Gin immediately covered his head and fled, jumping into the sinkhole without looking back. He arrived at the edge of the pool, where Otsutsuki Hikari and Otsutsuki Tsukihime followed closely behind.

"Mr. Yin, you must come back."

Otsutsuki Hikari gazed tenderly at Uchiha Gin, her full red lips slightly pursed, and carefully entrusted him with these words.

"Well, I always keep my word, but the construction of the portal may take some time. You can send people to guard this place, and they will sense it when it's ready."

Uchiha Gin formed hand seals, recalling what Otsutsuki Hamura had told him, and began to explain to Otsutsuki Hikari.

The two women behind him did not possess the genes of the Sage of Six Paths, so they could not use teleportation to bypass the smart lock on Hagoromo Otsutsuki's lock.

The Otsutsuki clan members can only be teleported to the surface after he changes the locks, but the lock-changing process takes some time.

It could take a day, or it could take a year; it all depends on how fast the teleportation array is constructed.

"How will I find you then?"

With a pounding heart, Otsutsuki Hikari quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, I remember I gave you a cloak, right? Did you bring it?"

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Gin asked, as he had his own method for finding acquaintances.

"Yes, I always carry it with me!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Gin's words, Otsutsuki Biroku ripped off her simple robe, revealing a pure white, gold-trimmed magic resistance cloak she wore close to her skin.

A pair of peaks, recovered from the depletion of the butterfly transformation technique, caused the white cloak to bulge high.

This erotic scene made Uchiha Gin subconsciously swallow hard, and he said with difficulty,

"Just bring it with you."

After saying that, he pulled out a similar cloak from his bag and, to the other person's bewildered look, slapped the cloak down.

A dazzling light flashed, and Otsutsuki Hikari's cloak vanished without a trace. Just as she was wondering what was happening, she saw the empty space beneath the cloak.

Uchiha Gin, without bothering to explain anything, jumped into the pool without looking back, leaving only one sentence echoing in the sinkhole.

"Keep that necklace with you at all times. I can sense you through it, and I'll find you the moment you appear on the ground."

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Gin left without saying goodbye. Otsutsuki Biko, who still had so much to say, slowly lowered her raised hand, a bitter expression creeping across her pretty face. She wondered when they would meet again.

"Huh? The life force on your necklace is so strong!"

Just as she was feeling dejected, Tsukihime Otsutsuki, who was standing nearby, stared at the blue necklace hidden in the huge scar and exclaimed in surprise.

Her eyes brimming with envy, she rushed to the edge of the pool, leaned over, and shouted at the still rippling water.

"Hey, hey, hey! What about me?!"

"Mr. Yin, wait for me!"

Touching the dragon's claw radiating warmth on his chest, Otsutsuki Hikari's eyes rekindled with fervor, the beauty mark at the corner of his mouth slightly upturned, and his longing in his heart became even more resolute.

As soon as Uchiha Gin entered the water, he formed the teleportation seal of Professor Otsutsuki Hamura. He did not feel suffocation in the water, but instead felt himself being pulled into a deep whirlpool by a strong suction force, making him dizzy and nauseous.

About ten minutes later, the pulling sensation around Uchiha Gin's body gradually subsided, replaced by a familiar feeling of suffocation. The icy, bone-chilling water lashed against his skin, and he slowly opened his eyes in surprise.

A bright, white moon was reflected on the water's surface. Gazing at the moon hanging high in the sky, Uchiha Gin felt a sense of relief.

Just as he was about to surface, his sliding foot bumped into something hard. Puzzled, he looked down and saw the black longsword stuck in the underwater magic seal.

That relic of the Sage of Six Paths, which served as a cameo role as the Heart Sword used to lock the younger brother's door.

"I don't know if we can pull it out this time."

Looking at the simple, unadorned black longsword, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but feel a slight urge to try it out.

He then channeled his chakra into his eyes, which flashed crimson, while his hands were imbued with superhuman strength, unleashing the chakra from every bloodline within his body.

Uchiha Gin's slender body radiated a light that blended various colors, making him resemble a disco ball in a nightclub.

Suppressing the surge of power coursing through his veins, he reached out and grasped the sword hilt. A black phantom slowly emerged behind him. With the support of various forces, the thousand-year-old sword, embedded in the teleportation spell, began to loosen slightly.

"It can be done!"

Seeing that things were looking promising, Uchiha Gin accelerated the refining of his chakra. The three tomoe in his eyes transformed into an equilateral triangle, and the afterimage behind him became increasingly solid, as if it would take shape at any moment.

"Huh? Isn't this the sword of that rebellious son, Yu Yi? Since this kid wants it, let's help him out~"
