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

"No! Don't come any closer!"

Isobu was so frightened by Uchiha Gin's single glance that he was speechless for a long time. He looked at the man slowly walking towards him with the same fear as a green-faced ramen noodle.

Uchiha Gin ignored him. With a swift stroke of his wooden sword, he easily sliced ​​off half of Isobu's thick tail, as soft as tofu.

"ah!!!"

Overwhelmed by the pain, Isobu cried out. It had only experienced that soul-splitting pain once before, at the moment of its birth. It never imagined that it would experience this pain again after a thousand years.

Waaah, I'd rather be put in the dark room~

Isobu's severed tail was still wriggling after it hit the ground, as if it possessed an independent life. Intrigued, Uchiha Gin immediately activated his superhuman senses to examine it, and after a moment, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the Sage of Six Paths' Heart Sword could not only cut through the chakra of the Tailed Beasts, but also preserve a part of their souls, resulting in an effect similar to the Uzumaki clan's Reaper Death Seal.

With a sudden thought, Uchiha Gin grabbed the still-wriggling tail and threw it into the amber bottle.

"Huh? How come you can collect it without calling its name?"

Isobu, writhing in pain, instantly forgot his agony upon witnessing Uchiha Gin's extraordinary actions. His contorted face contorted with disbelief, and he asked in a strange tone,

He had only ever seen this kind of operation done by the old man. How could this ordinary human know it?

"I didn't say I had to call them by name~"

Stroking the wooden sword in his hand, Uchiha Gin turned to look at Isobu, who was lost in self-doubt, raised an eyebrow, and replied in a very sarcastic tone,

"Arminos!"

Isonabi: Utterly insane!

"Alright, this big turtle is no longer useful."

Ignoring the enraged Isobu, Uchiha Gin spoke to the women beside him.

"receive."

Uchiha Rinpoche quickly grasped the meaning, glared at the Three-Tails, and it instantly became obedient.

Seeing his thoughtful disciple, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He then walked to the amber bottle, looked down at the roaring tailed beasts inside, and asked with some curiosity,

"Your illusion has been broken?"

"Yes, that's right. My chakra was cut off after they were absorbed into this ninja tool."

Standing to the side with her arms crossed, Uchiha Hikari frowned slightly before answering. Seeing Uchiha Gin's thoughtful expression, and assuming he was somewhat disappointed, she spoke again.

"Ah Yin, shall we do it again?"

"No, no, no, you've been fighting for so long, you should take a break and have some afternoon tea. I'll take care of the rest."

Looking up at Uchiha Hikari, whose face was filled with self-reproach, Uchiha Gin, understanding the situation perfectly, immediately smiled gently, patted the girl's head, and said reassuringly,

"Mr. Yin, you..."

With his hands behind his back, Uchiha Osamu's brows furrowed with a hint of envy, but upon hearing Uchiha Gin's words, his expression quickly turned to worry.

"Don't worry, Sister Zhili. This curly-haired baboon never fights a battle unprepared."

Senju Itama, who was crouching nearby rummaging through his luggage for tea and snacks, looked up at Uchiha Osamu, whose face was full of worry, and said...

He glanced at Uchiha Gin, who was warming up, with a hint of annoyance and made a disparaging remark.

"Where are my snacks? My huge box of red bean cakes!"

"Huh? What are you talking about? Red bean pie? I've never even heard of it. Maybe you lost it on the way?"

Uchiha Gin, who was doing stretching exercises, turned around upon hearing this and replied with a serious expression, though the unidentified red stain at the corner of his mouth offered no convincing answer.

"Ah! What's that on your lip, is it for your thesis defense?"

Senju Itama: Utterly insane!

"You brat, how dare you slander someone's innocence out of thin air."

With a shifty gaze, Uchiha Gin reached up to wipe his mouth, attempting to destroy evidence. However, the movement was too forceful, causing half a pastry hidden in his sleeve to fall out.

*Smack*

The red bean pastry, exuding a sweet aroma, fell straight to the ground.

The entire room fell silent. Several pairs of eyes were fixed on the stiff-moving Uchiha Gin, signaling for him to provide a reasonable explanation.

"Ah Yin! Have you forgotten the doctor's orders?"

Uchiha Hikaru stared at the half-eaten red bean pie lying on the ground with a look of exasperation, then glanced dangerously at Uchiha Gin, who was trying to evade the question.

"Sigh~ Mr. Yin, what can I say about you~"

As for his devoted little disciple, Uchiha Rinpoche, he also had a "I really can't do anything with you" expression.

"Who on earth is it?! There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me!"

Even after being caught red-handed, Uchiha Gin still refused to admit it, looking at the girls with heartbroken eyes and tearfully saying...

"I've been framed!"

"Heh, I don't believe you for a second! You..."

Hungry Senju Itama was the first to jump up, pointing at Uchiha Gin's nose and about to begin casting a spell.

"Don't worry, I'll be right back~"

Uchiha Gin wasn't foolish enough to continue arguing with this gluttonous brat. He kicked his legs and tumbled headfirst into the amber bottle, giving the others a reassuring look as he did so.

Then, to the astonishment of the girls, Uchiha Gin was sucked into the Amber Purification Bottle.

"Hmph! Luckily I was prepared and hid an extra copy~"

Seeing Uchiha Gin take the opportunity to run away, Senju Itama, who was sulking, snorted coldly. Then, she pulled out a scroll she had hidden beforehand from a compartment in her luggage, and a smile bloomed on her wrinkled little face.

"Come on, look what I brought!"

"Hey, small room, why did you bring a hot pot?"

"You little rascal, you've got quite a sweet tooth."

"So, are you going to eat or not?"

"Eat!" *2

Upon entering the space of the amber bottle, Uchiha Gin looked around at the not-so-dark environment and didn't feel the discomfort he had imagined.

"Tsk, is it just my imagination?"

Uchiha Gin, who had landed on the ground, wrinkled his nose in confusion. As soon as he entered, he smelled a strange odor, like the sour and spicy smell of kimchi.

"Roar!!! What a despicable human being! He can even turn on his own kind."

In the dim space, six figures slowly appeared. They were the six tailed beasts he had just sucked in. The leader, the Eight-Tails, with hot air coming from its nostrils, said to Uchiha Gin with utter disdain,

In its view, Uchiha Gin, like them, was also imprisoned and punished.

"You guys seem quite familiar with this place?"

Realizing the other party had misunderstood, Uchiha Gin didn't bother to explain. He simply looked up at the muscular Gyuki and asked...

As aggregates of chakra, the tailed beasts are not worried about dying inside the amber bottle.

On the contrary, Uchiha Gin, this human, will starve to death here before they even need to lift a finger.

Therefore, they weren't worried at all that Uchiha Gin knew the secrets of the Tailed Beasts, and considerately explained it to him.

"Hmph~ That goes without saying, we're regulars here."

"Yes, yes, I love it here."

"Going into the kimchi jar feels like coming home~"

Listening to the tailed beasts' various conversations, Uchiha Gin guessed the gist of it: the Sage of Six Paths' ninja tool was probably originally just a simple kitchen utensil used for storing food.

Later, for some unknown reason, perhaps the Sage of Six Paths got tired of kimchi, so the jar was transformed into a tool for suppressing tailed beasts or villains. Finally, after the Sage of Six Paths died, it was passed down to the ancestors of the Hagoromo clan and became the Six Paths Ninja Tool that they worshipped for generations.

"Where is that fellow, Ekashifu?"

The tailed beasts, who were imprisoned together, were catching up when they suddenly realized one was missing. They all began searching for it.

"Meow! How come there's only half a tail left?"

Matatabi, with its most sensitive sense of smell, caught a whiff of seafood and spotted Isobu's tail still wriggling in a corner of the space. It immediately cried out in surprise.

"Nani!"

The other tailed beasts were startled upon hearing this and rushed over in large strides. Even the forgotten Uchiha Gin joined the group to join the fun.

"Isobu, you died a terrible death!!!"

The duo of seafood, Ushioni, upon seeing Isobu with only half a tail remaining, had tears welling in their eyes and let out a mournful cry that filled all the other animals present with a sense of desolation.

"Don't be sad, Ushioni, Isobu will be resurrected."

Seeing the saddened Ushioni, the sharp-eyed dog standing nearby offered words of comfort.

The other tailed beasts nodded in agreement, indicating that the Three-Tails would soon visit its home again.

"Alas~ Isobu must have suffered unimaginable torment before it died, which is why its soul lingers on this tail and refuses to leave for so long."

Looking at his tail, which seemed to have a life of its own, the four-tailed Goku couldn't help but sigh.

"Humans! Do you know who did this?"

Enraged, the bull-demon lowered its head, its bloodshot eyes glaring at the pensive Uchiha Gin, and questioned him.

"Huh? It looks like I made it."

When asked, Uchiha Gin scratched his head sheepishly and answered somewhat shyly.

"You don't know either? We absolutely must find out once we get out of here."

Perhaps Uchiha Gin's voice was too soft, and the grief-stricken Gyuki didn't hear it clearly, but the other beasts heard it perfectly.

"you"

Aside from the Eight-Tails, which was still muttering to itself, the other beasts bared their teeth and surrounded Uchiha Gin. Looking at the fearless human before them, the short-tempered Four-Tails was the first to ask,

"You're saying you killed Isobu? You think you can kill him?"

It wasn't that Sun Wukong looked down on Uchiha Gin; while these tailed beasts' sensory abilities weren't as strong as Kurama's, they weren't weak either.

The tailed beasts sensed no threat from this human; Uchiha Gin was nothing more than a weak descendant of Indra.

"Yes, not only that, I'm going to repeat what I did to it for you all again."

With a warm smile, Uchiha Gin slowly drew his black wooden sword, looked at the several ferocious-looking tailed beasts, and said softly,

"We're all brothers, it's not too much to go through thick and thin together, is it?"

"That's the old man's weapon, how did it end up in your hands!"

Initially, Masato scoffed at this arrogant human, but upon seeing the weapon Uchiha Gin drew, a human-like expression appeared on his enormous cat face.

[Subway, elderly person, mobile phone.jpg]

"It killed Isobu!"

The timid rhinoceros dog also cried out in alarm; its entire body trembled the moment it saw the wooden knife, as if recalling some unpleasant experience.

"Huh? The old man's sword? How could you, a mere human, possibly possess it?"

The ox-demon, regaining his senses, also wore a look of surprise. The Spear of Ama-no-Nama, the weapon of the Sage of Six Paths, was imbued with his creationist aspirations; without unwavering willpower, it was impossible to wield it.

Even the two sons of the Sage of Six Paths failed to gain the approval of the Spear of the Ama-no-Nama.

"Don't look at me like that. This weapon is legally mine."

Holding the wooden sword, Uchiha Gin had no desire to explain further to these petty tailed beasts. He spoke softly, and his black eyes suddenly turned crimson.

The three tomoe in his eyes slowly rotated, emanating a chilling aura that suffocated the tailed beasts. He slowly raised his head, looking at the six wary tailed beasts before him, and a smirk appeared on Uchiha Gin's lips.

Finally, there's no need to worry about being exposed; in this space, no trace can be transmitted.

"Don't panic, everyone! So what if he has the old man's weapon? Those eyes can't harm us. Let's all charge together and avenge Isogai!"

Suffocated by the overwhelming aura emanating from Uchiha's silver eyes, Gyūki, the strongest of the tailed beasts, gritted his teeth, stepped forward, his bull-like eyes wide open, and cheered on the other tailed beasts.

"Yes, yes, everyone should criticize him!"

"Oh~ you're saying these eyes can't do anything to you?"

Unexpectedly, after finally managing to show his eyes, Uchiha Gin, already in a bad mood, was mocked by these guys. His eyes narrowed.

The three tomoe in his eyes began to spin rapidly, disappearing from his pupils in the blink of an eye, leaving only the central dot standing guard in solitude.

"Are you ready to face my wrath?"

Uchiha Gin, wielding his Whiteboard Mangekyou Sharingan, coldly announced to the tailed beasts,

"You devil, can't you at least look carefully before you speak next time?"

Terrified, Yutaka sensed the chilling power emanating from Uchiha Gin solidifying once more. He swallowed hard and muttered a disapproving remark.

"How would I know!"

Sensing the threat, the bull demon had no choice but to bite the bullet and return.

"Let me see, I'll choose you then."

Seeing the nervous beasts, Uchiha Gin decided to invite them to his hometown for tea, and then activated the Mangekyou Sharingan of Tsukuyomi into his eyes.

"Look, that human's eyes have changed again!"

The tailed beasts were not unfamiliar with the Mangekyou Sharingan, but a shape-shifting Mangekyou Sharingan was something they had never seen before.

Tsukuyomi

A shuriken-shaped pattern appeared in one of the eyes. As the eye technique was released, the tailed beasts, who had been staring intently at Uchiha's silver eyes, suddenly found themselves in a different space.

The pitch-black ground beneath their feet transformed into a shallow lake. Just as they were wondering what was happening, a scarlet full moon slowly rose in the sky, its cold light sending chills down their spines.

"Enjoy the next 72 hours!"

Uchiha Gin's slightly mocking voice rang in the ears of the tailed beasts. Before they could even react, the tailed beasts realized that they seemed to have been frozen in place by a spell, unable to move an inch no matter what they did.

From the perspective of each tailed beast, Uchiha Gin, wielding a strange weapon, approached them with a sinister grin. The weapon emitted a series of booming sounds, sending chills down the spines of the tailed beasts.

"What do you want to do? No!"

The tailed beasts were enjoying a chainsaw massage custom-made by Uchiha Gin in the Tsukuyomi space, while their true forms stood calmly in place, without making any move.

"This is ridiculous!"

Unexpectedly, he defeated six tailed beasts with a single Tsukuyomi. Uchiha Gin scratched his face in confusion. He still had many tricks up his sleeve. He should have played around with the genjutsu first.

"Thump!!!"

Just as he was filled with regret, the tailed beasts, who had enjoyed the Tsukuyomi for three days and three nights, suddenly collapsed to the ground, all foaming at the mouth and rolling their eyes back, as if they had been subjected to some kind of mental pollution.

"Hey, wake up!"

Left with no other option, Uchiha Gin stepped forward to try and awaken the tailed beasts, only to find that no matter how much he patted them, they remained unconscious.

"Did you use too much force?"

Since learning the Mangekyou Sharingan, Uchiha Gin has never used it. Apart from occasionally exchanging ideas with Wano, his Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi have remained gathering dust.

This was the first time I'd ever used genjutsu on a tailed beast, and I hadn't expected their resistance to genjutsu to be so low. They collapsed without me even using much force.

"Sigh...it started strong but ended weakly."

As he propped himself up from the top of the bull demon's head, Uchiha Gin sighed softly. He had been fantasizing about a thrilling battle, but the tailed beasts had let him down, which was quite disappointing.

In fact, Uchiha Gin was unaware that these unconscious tailed beasts had just been subdued by the genjutsu genius Uchiha and dealt with by Uchiha Hikaru, the user of Tsukuyomi, and their damaged mental strength had not yet recovered.

Now, caught off guard, he has been hit by Uchiha Ginichi's Tsukuyomi, which is like adding insult to injury, with old wounds compounded by new ones, which is why he has fallen into a prolonged state of unconsciousness.

"In that case, let's get down to business."

Since the tailed beasts were temporarily under the control of the Uchiha clan, there would be plenty of opportunities to practice. With this in mind, Uchiha Gin immediately brandished his wooden sword and began severing the tails of the tailed beasts one by one.

"Da da da~"

After a series of fluid and skillful maneuvers, Uchiha Gin looked at the pile of tails with satisfaction, smiled, and touched the Heart Sword in his hand.

The wooden sword sensed Uchiha Gin's satisfaction, and a faint hum emanated from its black blade, as if it were seeking praise.

"Not bad, that's dry!"

Upon receiving a response, Uchiha Gin's smile widened, and he couldn't help but praise the Heart Sword in his hand.

"However, it's time to go out."

After calculating the time, Uchiha Gin knew that based on Senju Hashirama's speed, his opponent should be arriving soon. He then sheathed his wooden sword and shouted into the void.

"Please escort me out!"

Suddenly, the space above Uchiha Gin's head distorted, and the resulting suction instantly engulfed him.

"Huh, you're out so quickly?"

Even with his eyes closed, Uchiha Gin heard Senju Itama's familiar voice.

He was about to answer when the sudden scent made Uchiha Gin frown.

"You guys are eating hot pot?"

"They won't let us eat red bean cakes, and they won't let us eat hot pot either?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Gin's question, Senju Itama, holding the dish, retorted without hesitation.

"Whoosh~ It's so hot~"

As she spoke, she threw the tofu from the bowl into her mouth with her bare hands, which burned her so much that she jumped up and down.

"Gin, did it not work?"

Uchiha Hikaru, who was also sitting around the hot pot, stirred the vegetables in the pot and asked with a worried expression,

In her opinion, Uchiha Gin had only been inside for less than ten minutes, so he must have been frustrated inside before coming out.

"Don't worry, I've taken care of everything."

Smelling the enticing aroma of the hot pot, Uchiha Gin rubbed his empty stomach and unceremoniously sat down at an empty seat at the table. He glanced around at the sparsely furnished table in front of him, seemingly searching for something.

"Mr. Yin, please have some~"

Uchiha Rinne, who had been waiting for her chance for a long time, quickly pushed her bowl of condiments over, a hint of anticipation in her cool, beautiful eyes.

"Uh, thank you, little administrator."

Uchiha Gin didn't refuse. He had long regarded Uchiha Osamu as his own child and didn't mind the fact that Osamu had eaten there. He immediately picked up the chopsticks and began to eat heartily.

"Curly-haired baboon! Those are my chopsticks!" (End of Chapter)
