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

"Meow~ Meow~ Meow~"

Just as the group was feeling sorry for Madara Uchiha's absence, a kitten suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It raised its head, seemingly unafraid of the noisy crowd, its eyes darting around as if searching for something.

"Danzo! Grab it quickly!"

Dressed in their finest attire, the Konoha F6 members eagerly chased after the uninvited guest who had barged into the wedding. Koharu Utatane, wearing her little red leather shoes, gave instructions to Danzo beside her.

"Watch me!"

Shimura Danzo's eyes narrowed as he stared intently at the cat before him, his hands slowly forming hand seals, seemingly preparing to unleash his most proficient escape technique.

"Stop! Danzo!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was following closely behind, was shocked to see his childhood friend about to unleash a ninjutsu in this situation and immediately tried to stop him.

"Wind Release: Vacuum."

If he listened to Hiruzen Sarutobi, he wouldn't be Danzo. He curled his lip in disdain, the wind blast he was building up making his mouth swell like his ample buttocks, ready to be released.

"duang~"

Suddenly, a giant hand appeared out of nowhere and slammed down on Danzo's head, brutally interrupting the flow of his chakra and killing the gushing Vacuum Jade Embryo before it could burst forth.

"Ouch! What are you doing?"

Shimura Danzo, struck by a sudden and devastating blow, blacked out, clutching the large bump on his head and letting out a bloodcurdling scream.

"Silver Three Three!"

The other members, seeing the culprit who had attacked their teammates, were so frightened that they all stood at attention, sweating profusely, heads bowed, not daring to make any other moves.

"Little Tuantuan, you've improved a lot in just a few days!"

Blowing on his smoking fist, Uchiha Gin smiled mockingly.

"Juan Yin San San, we're just capturing this suspicious cat. I suspect it's a spy sent by another village."

Danzo, who was about to lash out, immediately wilted when he saw Gin Uchiha's unfriendly gaze. He pointed to the cat peeking around not far away and began to defend his behavior.

"A spy? You're really something, kid!"

"I never imagined that Shimura Danzo's bad habit of framing others was something he developed from a young age," Uchiha Gin said, slapping his swollen bump without hesitation.

"ah!!!"

"Jing, take your friend to the children's table. Don't cause trouble here. They're seven or eight years old, but they still act like they're five or six. They're such a handful."

After punishing Danzo, Uchiha Gin gave instructions to the trembling Uchiha Kagami.

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, the little ones were overjoyed and nodded hastily before disappearing in a flash. Only Jing hesitated for a moment while running away, then grabbed the little Danzo who was rolling around with his head in his hands and ran away with him.

"These little guys are so energetic!"

Having witnessed this scene, Hashirama Senju commented with a smile,

"Indeed, there are many talented children like this in Konoha. If they can receive a systematic education, they will surely become pillars of the village in the future."

With his arms crossed, Tobirama Senju nodded. Under his careful guidance, these disciples had grown at a meteoric pace, reaching a level far exceeding that of a genin in just two years.

"Tsk! Don't you even know who runs this tutoring center?"

Turning his head, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow at the Senju brothers. These kids had his tailor-made private tutorials; if they still couldn't stand up, it meant they could delete their accounts and start over.

"It's such a pity, my energy is limited. I wish I could teach more children."

While not denying Uchiha Gin's achievements, Tobirama Senju shook his head with considerable regret.

"Hey~ Let's start a school then."

Uchiha Gin rolled his eyes. Since you want to help the world, why not just open a school and recruit many disciples? Surely a few of them will be able to take off.

"School."

Upon hearing Uchiha Gin's words, Tobirama Senju's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment, and he then began to consider the feasibility of the matter.

"Hey, that cat?"

While Tobirama Senju was pondering matters concerning the school, Hashirama Senju was drawn to the strange cat from before. He felt that this cat, which he had never seen before, possessed a familiar aura.

"Oh? Oh~"

Gin Uchiha casually picked up a small bottle of sweet drink from the table next to him and then turned his gaze to the cat. After sensing it for a moment, he immediately understood.

"Brother Yin! It's your turn to be the officiant!"

Dressed in formal attire, Uchiha Fire Core weaved through the crowd and spotted Uchiha Silver, who was secretly drinking a sweet drink.

"Here it comes~"

Setting down his empty cup, Uchiha Gin straightened his slightly wrinkled clothes and strode onto the stage.

Uchiha Izuna, whose face was tense, showed a relieved expression upon seeing Uchiha Gin arrive. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed his older cousin's hand, and said,

"Big cousin, please help me!"

As the only surviving elder of Uchiha Izuna who could appear in public, Uchiha Gin felt immense pressure. Looking up at the bustling crowd below the stage, he took a deep breath.

"I'm going to jail for this, because I'm the only one left at home~"

Suddenly, Uchiha Gin, with his keen senses, spotted a familiar aura in the crowd. He looked closely and saw several strangers dressed in very different clothes standing among the Konoha people.

"Big brother, those are merchants from the Kingdom of Waves. They have some business dealings with our clan."

Seeing Uchiha Gin's slightly furrowed brows, Uchiha Izuna assumed he was suspicious of the strangers, so he patiently explained...

"Oh, I'll beat you to death~"

Uchiha Gin nodded upon hearing this, and after glancing at her, he stopped paying attention. One of the middle-aged men in the group nodded to him subtly, then kept his eyes fixed on Uchiha Izuna, who was dressed in wedding attire, with deep affection in his eyes.

Izuna, I'm sorry, but my father cannot show his true face to others.

These merchants from the Land of Waves who came to offer their congratulations were actually members of the Uchiha clan who had fled overseas. Among them, the leader was Uchiha Tajima, who had faked his death and escaped. He had completely changed his appearance and risked being discovered just to witness his son's happy moment.

"The bride has arrived!"

A voice came from outside the door, and the noisy crowd stopped talking. All eyes turned to the door and saw Uchiha Mieko, who was lightly made up and dressed in a white dress symbolizing purity and innocence. She walked slowly in, supported by two female clan members.

Wow, it's so beautiful!

At the women's table, Senju Itama, dressed in a black and white evening gown, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, her large, dark eyes filled with envy.

"A white kimono, you know."

Sitting next to her was Uchiha Hikaru, dressed in a white dress, her fair arms supporting her small face. She gazed at Uchiha Mieko's elegant white kimono, slightly lost in thought.

"Mother, what does it feel like to wear a white kimono?"

Wearing a light purple fitted long dress, Uchiha Osamu nudged Uchiha Eimi beside her and asked curiously,

"Waaaa, Mommy hasn't worn a white kimono yet! I hope you can make up for Mommy's regret~"

"Mieko~"

"Lord Izuna~"

Uchiha Izuna, captivated by Uchiha Mieko's beauty, called out to her passionately, while Uchiha Mieko, blushing with shyness, responded in kind.

"We're all family now, calling someone 'adult' sounds too formal, you should call them 'darling'~"

Seeing that Uchiha Mieko was still a little reserved, Uchiha Gin immediately corrected her form of address, thus easing the girl's nervousness.

"Big brother! There are so many people here!"

Before Uchiha Mieko could respond, Uchiha Izuna grew impatient. Who calls someone "darling" in public? Such a term of endearment is only meant to be used in bed.

"Alright, alright, you two can call each other whatever you want in private."

With a smile and a wave of his hand, Uchiha Gin turned to the eagerly awaiting crowd below the stage and slowly began to deliver his prepared speech.

Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:

Hello everyone!

Today is a joyous day for my younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, and Uchiha Mieko, as they tie the knot. I am honored to be their witness. On behalf of the newlyweds, I extend my warmest welcome and heartfelt thanks to all the guests present. From their first meeting to their current love, they have finally walked hand in hand into the hall of marriage.

Although Uchiha Gin's voice carried a hint of languor, his tone was sincere, which touched people's hearts. Even Senju Tobirama, who had always been at odds with Uchiha Izuna, no longer harbored any resentment towards him and instead felt more blessed.

"I would like to join everyone in witnessing the happiness of this newlywed couple. May you love and cherish each other for a lifetime, grow old together, and enjoy a blissful life! Finally, let us raise our glasses to offer our sincerest congratulations to Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Mieko on their romantic love, and also wish all the guests present good health, family well-being, and happiness. Thank you all!"

"Clap clap clap~"

As Uchiha Gin raised the little sweet water high, the whole audience burst into enthusiastic applause, especially Senju Itama, who clapped his little hands loudly with anticipation.

"I didn't expect this curly-haired guy to have something inside him!"

After listening to Uchiha Gin's wedding speech, Senju Tobirama nodded in approval, a rare occurrence, and pondered whether he should ask Gin to be his witness if he were to get married.

As he was thinking this, Tobirama Senju caught a glimpse of Itama Senju clapping excitedly and couldn't help but sigh.

After all, the two families are very likely to become related by marriage in the future.

"Send them to the bridal chamber!"

After a complicated process, Uchiha Izuna took Uchiha Mieko's hand and walked into the inner courtyard.

"Phew~ It's finally over!"

Having finally learned about this major event, Uchiha Gin breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a furry thing darted past his feet and followed Uchiha Izuna into the inner courtyard.

"Catch that cat!"

The clansmen responsible for maintaining order at the meeting saw this cat of unknown origin trying to enter the inner courtyard and were about to apprehend it.

"Wait, it's just a cat, there's no need to make such a fuss."

Knowing that the ninja cat had other missions, Uchiha Gin waved his hand to stop his clansmen from grabbing the cat.

"Yes, Master Gin!"

"Brother Yin, we're leaving now."

As the newlyweds entered the bridal chamber, the guests began to leave one after another. Uchiha Tajima, disguised as a merchant from the Land of Waves, had already left, and the Senju brothers also came to say goodbye.

"Thanks for your support, Hashirama, even from prison!"

"You're too kind! It's my brother Madara's wedding, how could I, as the Hokage, not be there?"

See you later~

"Mr. Yin, we'll take our leave now."

Sarutobi Sasuke, accompanied by members of the Ninja Clan Alliance, came to say goodbye.

"Thanks, Sasuke, back in jail. Let's have tea sometime!"

"Definitely! Definitely!"

"Gintoki, I'm also having a wedding in a few days. You must come and join me!"

Hyuga Tenyou, dressed in his finest attire, didn't forget to offer a reminder before leaving.

"We're brothers, I'll give you a big red envelope later!"

"You're too kind, it's enough that you're here."

"Alright, you said it!"

"."

I was just being polite!

In the festively decorated bridal chamber, the shy Uchiha Mieko sat on the edge of the bed, while the novice Uchiha Izuna frantically searched his treasured tutorials in his mind, trying to find a way out of the predicament.

"Darling~"

"!!!"

Mieko watched Uchiha Izuna pacing nervously, and suddenly remembered the name Uchiha Gin had taught her. So she mustered her courage and called out softly in her sweet, girlish voice.

That one affectionate nickname almost sent Uchiha Izuna to his death. Clutching his heart, which felt like it was about to leap out of his chest, he quickly reached out and pressed down on his companion, who had suddenly stood at attention.

"Ahem... Mieko, it's getting late, we should turn off the lights and go to sleep."

Meow~

Just as Uchiha Izuna was about to put his first real-world experience into practice, a cat's meow rang out in the darkness, instantly causing his once-powerful companion to become listless.

"When did this cat get in?"

With a slightly cold expression, Uchiha Izuna turned around, wishing he could send the dead cat that had almost scared him to the point of erectile dysfunction to his old father.

"Meow~ Meow~"

He thought his imposing manner would scare the cat so much it would wet itself, but to his surprise, the cat ignored him completely and even walked away from him.

"Izuna..."

Unexpectedly, this cat could speak human language and even called out Uchiha Izuna's name.

"Who are you?!"

Uchiha Izuna instantly became alert, his sharp aura emanating from his body, his eyes turning a savage crimson. He shielded the terrified Uchiha Mieko behind him and coldly questioned her.

"I'm just a messenger cat, meow~"

As if it were completely accustomed to the Sharingan, the cat made a human-like shrug and explained to Uchiha Izuna with a rather helpless expression.

"To deliver a message?"

Uchiha Izuna frowned, unsure of the cat's purpose or who was behind it.

"That's right, meow. My master asked me to pass on a message: congratulations on your marriage!"

The cat licked its paws and explained to the wary Uchiha Izuna,

"Who is your master?"

A strange sense of anticipation suddenly rose in his heart, and Uchiha Izuna asked with some excitement.

"My owner's name is Uchiha Madara, meow!"

Upon hearing the name he had longed for, Uchiha Izuna froze on the spot, two clear tears slowly streaming down his face, his heart being instantly struck by the most tender spot.

"It's my older brother... my older brother hasn't forgotten me!"

With trembling hands, Uchiha Izuna reached out to wipe away his tears, crying like a child despite being in his thirties.

"It's so strange, why do you humans cry so much, meow~"

The cat responsible for delivering the message tilted its head in confusion. Its owner, Uchiha Madara, was also in tears, just like Uchiha Izuna, when he was giving him instructions.

"When is your older brother coming back?"

After a while, Uchiha Izuna, having calmed down, cautiously asked the cat in front of him.

"I don't know either, I'm just a little kitty delivering messages, meow~"

The cat spread its paws out, looking completely innocent.

"Is there anything else you wanted to tell me, brother?"

"Um... Master said that since we're married, we should quit having sex with the little prince, otherwise it will affect our married life, meow~"

After thinking for a moment, the cat recalled what Madara Uchiha had said and then recited it word for word.

"Hey! Which village's spy are you, daring to trespass into Uchiha clan territory? Confess now!"

"Meow?"

The cat is too naive and underestimates the wickedness of human nature.

"Izumi-na-da-man!"

Just as Uchiha Izuna was preparing to arrest the suspected spy ninja cat with a righteous expression, a chill suddenly ran down his spine from behind.

"Mieko, let me explain!"

"I've delivered the message, I'm off, meow~"

"No!!!"

Uchiha Izuna's wedding night was destined to be incredibly exciting!

Land of Earth Border

Wearing the high-necked trench coat typical of the Uchiha clan, Madara Uchiha slowly opened his eyes, looking at the desolate cliff, a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.

Today is Izuna's wedding day, and his own brother is absent. It's really too much.

He was feeling extremely upset and just wanted to find someone to vent his frustrations on.

"Iwagakure, I hope you can be a little more resilient."

With his bloodshot eyes wide open, Madara Uchiha leaped towards the direction of Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village).

Wu: I'm going to suffer terribly!

Konoha

Uchiha Gin sneaked out of his house in the middle of the night. After looking around and finding no one following him, he quickly disappeared into a dark alley.

Pushing open a hidden door, Uchiha Gin removed his hood, looked at the slightly rounded figure before him, and spoke.

"Uncle, did I do alright today?"

Uchiha Gin was acting as a witness for the first time today, and he was quite nervous. He had been thinking about his words for several days.

"It's alright, I could do it too~"

With a beaming smile, Uchiha Tajima nodded to his eldest nephew. If it weren't for his status, he would have loved to go on stage and give an impromptu performance.

"Besides attending your younger cousin's wedding, is there anything else you're here for?"

Uchiha Gin asked with some curiosity, "Logically speaking, after attending the wedding, Uncle should have left. Why is he still staying in Konoha? Is he waiting for his daughter-in-law to get pregnant before going back?"

"I'm inspecting Konoha, preparing to establish a Land of Waves office here, which will make future travel easier."

"Oh, is that what it is? You can just ask anyone to do it."

"However, it's not just our Land of Waves that's coming."

Uchiha Tajima suddenly gave a mocking smile, which made Uchiha Gin feel a sense of unease. Before he could react, a hot body attacked from behind, accompanied by an intoxicating fragrance, and a strand of bright red hair was draped over Uchiha Gin's shoulder.

"Mr. Human trafficker, did you miss me?"

Feeling the familiar roundness behind him, Uchiha Gin turned around somewhat speechlessly. The person standing there was Uzumaki Mito's charming face, her eyes full of spring water, staring straight at him.

"Hehe, Uncle, I won't disturb your conversation, you young people. No one knows about this secret room, so you can go all out and do your thing!"

With a smile, Uchiha Tajima stood up, winked at Uchiha Gin, turned and left, locking the door behind him as he went.

"Mito, oh Sasipuri~"

Knowing he was in danger tonight, Uchiha Gin had no choice but to give up resisting. He turned around and hugged Uzumaki Mito tightly, saying with some remorse,

I've been so busy lately and haven't been able to think about how you feel. I'm so sorry.

"It's okay~ It's okay~"

Mito Uzumaki gently shook her head, behaving like a virtuous wife, which reassured Gin Uchiha.

Looks like my kidneys are saved!

"As long as you pay the entire year's amount in one lump sum, it'll be fine, A-Gin~"

!!!

The fear radar activated instantly. Uchiha Gin clutched his clothes, dodged to the side, and cried out in terror,

"Don't come any closer!!!"

"Hehehe, I love that look on your face~"

Countless golden chains extended from Mito Uzumaki's waist and attacked Gin Uchiha. Without any resistance, he was instantly bound by the Tortoise Shell Binding.

"Rip~"

With the sound of clothes tearing, Uchiha Gin's desperate screams echoed in the soundproofed room.

"Please, please don't eat hot dogs!"

A few days later

"The Land of Waves and the Land of Whirlpools are going to set up offices here?"

Inside the Hokage Building, Hashirama Senju looked at the documents in front of him, then looked up at his younger brother with some confusion and asked.

"That's right. The daimyo of the Land of Waves and the Land of Whirlpools have already made arrangements with the daimyo of the Land of Fire, and they will be coming to Konoha to set up offices soon."

After listening, Tobirama Senju frowned in confusion. He couldn't understand why these two countries would set up offices in Konoha, when they already had offices in the capital of the Land of Fire.

"They said they wanted to send international students to study here. What does 'international students' mean?"

Holding the document, Hashirama Senju pointed at the three large characters for "international student," completely baffled.

"According to them, the Land of Whirlpools and the Land of Waves want to engage in long-term cooperation and exchanges with Konoha, and they want to explore both economic and military aspects."

Tobirama Senju spoke up to explain, admitting he hadn't expected this. Putting aside the fact that the Land of Waves was a country without native ninjas, it was understandable that they sent people to learn.

The Land of Whirlpools is home to the renowned Uzumaki clan, a force that can rival the Land of Water, one of the Five Great Nations. Why not just educate them ourselves? Why go through all this trouble to come to Konoha? What are they after?

"Look! Tobirama, look! The Uzumaki clan says they can share their sealing techniques!"

As Hashirama Senju watched, he suddenly cried out excitedly, his face beaming with joy as he spoke to his younger brother.

"What? How dare they?"

This news truly baffled Tobirama Senju. After all, sealing techniques were the foundation of the Uzumaki clan's survival, and for them to share them meant there was definitely something fishy going on.

"Yes, it's true. But I said I'd share it gradually, and I wouldn't teach it all at once."

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't worried about relatives not bringing gifts; he was worried about them bringing lavish gifts.

"I knew it. Even if Uzumaki Hanamichi is stupid, he wouldn't be this stupid. But even so, we can't let our guard down. Maybe they have other plans."

"They also want to donate a school."

"Approved, now, immediately!" (End of Chapter)
