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

Chapter 207 True Welcome Home (End of the Warring States Arc)

In the backyard.

As he anxiously awaited the opponent's move, Uchiha Gin keenly sensed a spatial aura. He was overjoyed, never expecting that a relatively unknown NPC could summon such a high-level skill. He couldn't help but exclaim that he was blessed with incredible luck.

"."

"Splash!"

They waited and waited, until a gentle breeze stirred up the fallen leaves, and withered yellow leaves landed between the two. At the same time, Genma Shiranui's spatial aura reached its peak.

Is it coming?

Fearing he might be caught off guard, Uchiha Gin immediately activated his Sharingan. His crimson eyes were fixed on Shiranui Genma, who had been maintaining the same pose for a long time, and his vigilance was at its peak.

But the final outcome was quite unexpected.

A surge of intense spatial power erupted from Genma Shiranui's body, startling Gin Uchiha, who took several steps back. His eyes, vibrating with the spatial power, involuntarily transformed into a mutated blue-white Byakugan, revealing wisps of spatial energy clearly within his vision.

"Pfft~"

With the power of these eyes, Uchiha Gin had the illusion of being able to control space. Just then, a muffled thud was heard.

Genma Shiranui, who had been standing upright just moments before, collapsed to the ground with a thud, his entire body trembling as if he had been electrocuted.

"What happened? I didn't lay a hand on him, he collapsed on his own!"

Uchiha Gin was completely bewildered. He waited for a while, and then Shiranui Genma lay down on the ground on his own. What should he do now? Would the system detect that he was cheating?

A water-ripple-like light screen appeared at the opportune moment, carrying away Genma Shiranui, who was still convulsing on the ground, without leaving a trace. Just as Gin Uchiha was wondering what was going on, the system's voice appeared in his mind.

"The backyard refreshes daily with a random skill [Flying Thunder God Formation], and you will receive 1 Flying Thunder God Formation Fragment."

【Flying Thunder God Formation (1/3): A degraded version of the Flying Thunder God Technique, requiring three people to cooperate. It can move objects or people within the formation to other locations.】

PS: Certain NPCs, such as Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi, and Deivashi, have exclusive skills.

Uchiha Gin, who was undergoing the system's baptism, froze on the spot upon hearing this notification. Flying Thunder God Technique? He couldn't have heard wrong, could he?

Surprised and suspicious, he quickly opened the skill bar and searched through the vast number of unlocked gray skills. Finally, he found the Flying Thunder God Formation in a corner, which showed a progress of (1/3).

No wonder Bu Zhihu Genma couldn't make a sound even after trying for half a day, and in the end, he was even hit by the backlash of the ninjutsu and rolled on the ground.

"Damn, it's just a simplified version of the Flying Thunder God Technique."

After carefully reading the skill description, Uchiha Gin was instantly speechless. What was the use of such a useless skill?

Should he find two more people to form a SF Express team, specializing in delivering people and goods?

Just as Uchiha Gin was cursing, the system notification sounded again in his ear.

"The host has been detected to possess the item 'Flying Thunder God Kunai.' The Flying Thunder God Formation has been successfully learned. When combined with the Flying Thunder God Kunai, there is a certain chance of mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"This works?"

Uchiha Gin instantly stopped his uncivilized swearing and looked with considerable surprise at the dusty Sword of Ninja Love in his bag.

He never expected that after so many years, this non-supermodel prop he had drawn for the first time would still be able to shine and be useful, which truly moved him.

Alright, alright, Minato Namikaze, right? Your little bird is safe~

Upon hearing this good news, Uchiha Gin was in high spirits. Humming an unknown little tune, he turned and went home.

Having just returned home through the back door, Uchiha Gin was daydreaming about becoming a ninja world deliveryman when he saw a curvaceous and pretty figure from behind in the living room.

Although the person seemed vaguely familiar, he was absolutely certain that he didn't know them.

A sense of unease crept into his heart, and he frowned, asking the stranger who had broken into his home a question.

"Um, who are you? You've come to the wrong door?"

A captivating yet unfamiliar figure appeared behind her. Suddenly, she heard the voice she had longed for. Her voluptuous body froze for a moment, then leaped up joyfully, her rounded lower body and long, white legs tracing a perfect arc in the air.

"Gin! You're finally back!"

The unfamiliar woman turned around and rushed over excitedly as Uchiha Gin walked out of the house. Her familiar voice startled Uchiha Gin, who instinctively forgot to dodge and was pulled into her plump body, unable to move.

After a brief moment of enjoyment, despite this unexpected stroke of good fortune, Uchiha Gin firmly maintained his upright character, reluctantly "struggling" to escape from the arms of this strange woman.

Just as he was about to scold the other person for being rational about relationships between men and women, telling him not to come to him during the day when there were too many people around, and to meet up at night in a secluded place to continue pouring out his heart.

But before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Gin caught a glimpse of the woman's exquisite beauty. While marveling at her stunning looks, he also noticed something amiss.

This aloof and beautiful woman bears a striking resemblance to Uchiha Hikaru, if not an eight-tenths resemblance.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed a familiar diamond-shaped mark on the other person's smooth forehead. He immediately gasped and cried out in surprise.

"Miss, men and women shouldn't touch each other in broad daylight. Are you Xiao Guang?"

"Haha, scared you, huh? I've already mastered the Yin Seal!"

Seeing Gin's jaw drop in surprise, the plus-sized version of Uchiha Hikari covered her bright red lips and giggled. Her beautiful black eyes were filled with gentle spring water, causing Gin's heart to beat faster involuntarily.

"Cough cough cough I didn't expect you to learn the Yin Seal so quickly, Hikaru. You really are a genius."

Forcibly restraining the somewhat restless clone, Uchiha Gin bent over and took a few steps back, praising the advanced version of Uchiha Hikaru before him.

"Hmph~ Of course, a mere Yin Seal is no problem at all."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Hikaru put his hands on his hips, displaying his perfect physique in front of Uchiha Gin.

Hikaru Uchiha, who had adjusted his age to thirty, exuded a slightly mature fragrance. His bust wasn't particularly impressive, but it was still worth exploring.

Her waist was so slender it could be encircled by a single hand, her lower body was rounded and supple, and her long, white legs were wastedly exposed to the air.

What infuriated Uchiha Gin was his desire to wrap it in Balenciaga's perfume and savor it under the cover of darkness.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but comment,

"Tsk tsk tsk, not bad, not bad~"

"Huh? Gintoki, why are you bending over?"

The curly-haired man, who had been commenting on the future Uchiha Hikaru, was startled by the other's innocent and clear gaze. His fiery heart instantly cooled, and his bent back straightened.

His gaze was holy as he looked at the mature young woman who looked puzzled, and he answered in a serious tone.

"I mean, Xiaoguang, your talent is undeniable!"

"Phew~ Is the Yin Seal really that difficult? Isn't it something anyone can do?"

The girl, praised once again, suddenly remembered that she seemed to be among the last to learn the Yin Seal. A hint of resentment welled up inside her. She pouted her full, rosy lips and muttered softly to Uchiha Gin,

"Huh? What did you say? The Yin Seal is an extremely difficult secret technique. Ordinary people might not be able to learn it even after a lifetime of study. For you, Xiao Guang, to have learned it is truly one in a million."

Gin Uchiha sensed the resentment in the girl's words and immediately began to explain to Hikaru Uchiha how difficult it was to learn the Yin Seal, stating that it was only for geniuses.

Throughout the entire Naruto series, only Tsunade and Sakura have mastered this age-preserving technique, which is far more difficult than any S-rank ninjutsu.

"Thump!!!"

Just as Uchiha Gin was about to shower the heavy wooden door of the Great House with praise, it was blasted open with tremendous force, shattering the exquisite patterns on the door into pieces.

Fortunately, the entire house was made of Wood Release materials. The patterns that were destroyed by the immense force were slowly recovering under the nourishment of Wood Release chakra. It was also clear that the person who forced the door open was definitely a repeat offender.

"Old woman, why are you running so fast? Didn't you see how much stuff Zhili and I bought?"

Tsk, why hasn't this kid gone through puberty yet? He's almost eighteen, isn't he?

Uchiha Gin was interrupted halfway through his sentence by Senju Itama kicking him back. Slightly annoyed, Gin raised his head, his curly hair twitching.

I'm going to give this wretched brat a good scolding and also make an appointment with a doctor to check his development and treat his delayed vocal cord development.

Just as I shifted my gaze to Senju Itama, who was carrying a mountain of goods, his upper body was completely obscured by the pile of items in his hands.

Uchiha Gin, who had just finished disciplining a child, suddenly saw the brat peeking out from behind the hill and cried out in surprise.

"You rebellious brat! You haven't been disciplined for days, and now you're climbing on the roof and tearing off the forehead! Huh? Huh? Huh! Huh!"

"Huh? Curly-haired baboon, you're back? Didn't you say you were at the front lines with your cousin?"

Tilting her head and looking puzzled, Senju Itama asked, noting that the other person's androgynous and beautiful appearance had not changed.

However, the mark on his forehead, which should only be attainable through cultivation by women, truly terrified Uchiha Gin.

He rubbed his wide, dead-fish eyes hard, and after confirming it again, he said in a trembling voice,

"You brat, how could you possibly have learned the Yin Seal?"

In Uchiha Gin's skill list, the Yin Seal is specifically noted to be learnable only by women, besides those within his own system.

How did that brat Senju Itama manage to fool the system's screening and learn the Yin Seal? Did he rely on the seduction of the little boy?

"Huh? Who do you think you're underestimating? I was the first to learn that! Take this punch!"

Unexpectedly, her talent was being questioned. Senju Itama instantly transformed into a raging pufferfish, abandoning the welcome party ingredients she had carefully selected and purchased, and leaped forward to fight Uchiha Gin to the death.

"Huh? This is superhuman strength?"

Seeing the blue light emanating from Senju Itama and its menacing aura as it flew towards him, Uchiha Gin felt a chill run down his spine.

Having mastered superhuman strength to an unparalleled degree, he immediately recognized the unique aura of superhuman strength emanating from the other party.

"Alright, alright, Itama, Mr. Gin is just surprised. Don't make such a fuss, or you'll be laughed at by others."

Just then, a sweet voice rang out. Uchiha Osamu, who was behind Senju Itama, reached out and a large, cherry-pink hand appeared out of thin air. He steadily caught Senju Itama in mid-air, whispered a few words of comfort, and then put the pouting brat down.

"Little Zhili, I knew you could do it."

Compared to Senju Itama's mastery of the Yin Seal, the diamond-shaped mark on Uchiha Osamu's head seemed quite reasonable. Looking at his smiling disciple, Uchiha Gin said with satisfaction...

After the commotion subsided, the three women sat together, faint smiles on their faces. Their three different pairs of beautiful eyes, each with the same inexplicable gleam, watched Uchiha Gin, who was wearing an apron and preparing dishes for their welcome party in the kitchen. They all spoke in unison...

"Welcome home, Gintoki/Curly-haired Baboon/Mr. Gin~"

Sticking to the Warring States period storyline was quite difficult for Xiao Mao, and she faced a lot of criticism along the way, but fortunately, she gave the Warring States period a fairly perfect ending.

The Warring States arc is now complete! Hooray!

P.S.: There's also a little bit of the showdown between my older cousin and Hasi's hot mom, let's call it the founding of Konoha~ (#^.^#)
