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

Leaf.

Hokage Building.

Madara Uchiha sat expressionless on the Hokage's throne, his long, sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Looking at the slightly disheveled but fully recovered Tobirama Senju before him, a deep sense of regret flickered in his eyes.

"You bastard, are you some kind of turtle? How can you survive like that?"

┕(╬◣д◢)┙

"Now you're not even going to pretend anymore, are you? Are you secretly cursing me to die out there?"

"No, I usually speak my mind directly, so don't worry about me talking behind your back."

Facing the indignant Tobirama Senju, Madara Uchiha calmly shook his head, but secretly crumpled up the village secretary's obituary he had written and threw it into the trash can at his feet.

"What are you up to?"

Senju Tobirama, keenly aware of Madara Uchiha's unnatural trembling, narrowed his eyes and questioned him coldly.

"You said you transformed too? Explain the details first."

Seeing that his plan was about to be exposed, Madara Uchiha immediately changed the subject, throwing the question to Tobirama Senju, who had just recounted his harrowing experience.

"you!"

"Ahem, those in positions of power should prioritize the greater good."

Madara Uchiha coughed a few times, his expression unchanged, and used moral blackmail to forcefully suppress Tobirama Senju's raging anger.

Gritting his teeth, he reached into his ninja tool pouch and pulled out a battle-damaged bracelet, placing it on the Hokage's desk.

"I can no longer transform."

Looking at the transformation item he had only used once, Tobirama Senju's expression was complex.

Although reluctant, he had to admit that the curly-haired man was quite skilled, capable of crafting such amazing ninja tools.

Compared to that, the Thor's Sword that I'm currently researching is simply a huge joke.

Just imagining himself stabbing Ultraman with Thor's sword made Tobirama Senju's heart turn cold.

The two are like the J-8 and a sixth-generation fighter jet, with an insurmountable gap between them.

"Oh no, you're doomed. This was a gift from your cousin to Jing, and now you've ruined it. Let's see how you explain this to him."

Madara Uchiha's eyes lit up when he glanced at the somewhat familiar bracelet. Wasn't this the same accessory that Kagami Uchiha had been wearing all this time?

He said it was a gift from his older cousin, but it turned out to be a transformation item.

"I borrowed this from Jing, so I will naturally give him an explanation."

Recalling that troublesome curly hair, Tobirama Senju's face twitched a few times before he retorted stiffly.

"We both know our cousin's personality, so be prepared for a hefty bill~"

Madara Uchiha smiled wryly, his resentment towards Tobirama Senju fading somewhat. After all, nothing was more troublesome than being entangled with Gin Uchiha.

"Enough with the nonsense, how's your brother doing?"

Recalling what Decade had told him, Tobirama Senju immediately asked about Hashirama Senju's current situation. Madara Uchiha, upon being asked, raised an eyebrow, a hint of delight on his face.

"She's all better now. The doctor said that Hasi Hot Mom's condition is improving and she'll wake up in a few days."

"It's actually true!?"

Tobirama Senju was shocked to hear this; Kamen Rider Decade's words had actually come true.

"That's good, that's good."

Excitedly rubbing his hands together, Tobirama Senju felt his injuries ease somewhat. After a brief moment of excitement, his expression suddenly turned grim, his crimson eyes filled with a chilling intent.

"You bastard, you almost fooled me! Why didn't you come to our aid? Was it on purpose or by accident? Did you secretly take bribes from Kumogakure?"

The thought of being beaten by the Silver Brothers made Tobirama Senju tremble with anger and cold. Madara Uchiha was clearly nearby at the time, but he did not choose to come to help. There must have been some unknown shady deal involved.

"I thought you could handle that kind of small-scale situation, so I only sent a few interns to observe and learn."

Madara Uchiha shrugged, indicating that he had high hopes for Madara, but Madara was the least promising.

"asshole!"

"Alright, alright, you're alright now, aren't you? Go wash off all that dust, don't get my 500,000 tael carpet dirty."

Not wanting to linger any longer with Tobirama Senju, Madara Uchiha sized up the man's disheveled appearance, then waved his hand dismissively.

"Hmph~"

"Snapped!"

He stomped hard on the brand-new carpet, staring at the abrupt black footprint, then picked up the bracelet from the table with satisfaction and stormed off, deliberately slamming the door shut as if to vent his personal anger.

"This guy, he'd better not teach these bad habits to Jing and the others."

Shaking his head helplessly, Madara Uchiha picked up the unprocessed documents on the table and began to write furiously.

"Tsk, how do you fix this thing?"

As Tobirama Senju walked out of the Hokage Building, his expression gradually turned serious. Looking at the completely broken transformation bracelet in his hand, his temples throbbed with pain.

"That curly-haired guy is too troublesome. Maybe we should get it from Itama? No, no, Tobirama Senju, how could you be so despicable!"

Not wanting to be bothered by Uchiha Gin, who was like a persistent pest, Tobirama Senju even considered having his sister whisper in his ear.

But as soon as the thought arose, he quickly suppressed it and gave himself a good spur.

"Forget it, let's take it apart and see. I don't believe that such a small thing can have much technology involved."

Tobirama Senju shook his head, banishing all the chaotic thoughts from his mind. His gaze fell on the broken bracelet, and he decided to use his extensive knowledge and superb research and development capabilities to solve this problem.

Encouraging himself, Tobirama Senju quickly ran home, plunged into the laboratory, put on gloves, and began the intense analytical and dissection process.

The already dilapidated bracelet was quickly transformed into small parts, which were then neatly arranged on the test bench.

"Hmm"

Looking at the unfamiliar components before him, Tobirama Senju pondered for a moment before beginning to reassemble them. After quite some time, he finally managed to restore the bracelet to its original state before it was taken apart.

"Hoo~ Ah?"

Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a screw lying on the ground. Judging from its condition, it was probably a part of the bracelet.

Tobirama Senju's face instantly turned ashen. His gaze lingered between the bracelet and the screw for a long time before he finally lowered his proud head.

"He is quick-witted and eager to learn, and not ashamed to ask questions of those who are less knowledgeable than himself."

"Three people go together there must be my teacher"

"He's my future brother-in-law, if I don't ask him, who will?"

After quoting classical texts and hypnotizing himself for a long time, Tobirama Senju finally overcame his reservations and decided to ask Gin Uchiha for advice on the transformation device.

The next morning, before Tobirama Senju could even go to find Gin Uchiha, several disheveled disciples burst through the door, excitedly surrounding him and looking at him with relief.

Fortunately, the security team summoned by the Konoha gatekeepers were all acquaintances of Kagami. With a few words and a few angry glances, they quickly cleared up the misunderstanding. The group didn't even bother to rest and went straight to Tobirama Senju's house to visit him.

"Teacher, are you okay?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, looking worried, asked the question that everyone most wanted to know.

The Silver and Gold Brothers are so incredibly powerful that their teacher must have paid a terrible price to survive.

"It's alright. How could two mere children be a match for me?"

Since there were no other eyewitnesses at the scene, what exactly happened was up to him, wasn't it?

"Teacher, I'm so glad you're not hurt. My bracelet..."

Uchiha Kagami, letting out a long sigh of relief, looked at his empty wrist and asked,

"Actually, it's not entirely without problems."

Thinking of the transformation bracelet on the lab bench, missing a screw, Tobirama Senju coughed a few times, forcing a look of weakness onto his pale face.

"Ah! Teacher, I'll treat you right away!"

Upon hearing this, Koharu, who was turning over a new room, darted forward. Having been slacking off during the previous battle, she finally had her chance to shine.

"Autumn beans, sack of potatoes!"

He swiftly dodged, and Tobirama Senju waved his hand awkwardly.

"It's just a minor injury, it'll heal in a few days. Look at you all, you're all in such a sorry state, go and rest!"

"Yes."

Despite their doubts, they wisely left when faced with the teacher's dismissive words.

After leaving Tobirama Senju's residence, the F6's initial excitement gradually cooled. Recalling how the Silver and Gold Brothers had so easily toyed with them, their fists involuntarily hardened.

"Phew~ I'm going back to cultivate now. Contact me via message in a bottle if anything comes up."

The heavy atmosphere that enveloped them was broken first by Hiruzen Sarutobi. He spoke, then left without looking back, determined to return home and continue practicing his incredibly powerful Great Combo Technique.

Me too.

Danzo nodded silently, turned and disappeared into the dark path, leaving only a handsome silhouette of his rear.

He firmly believed that his "buttock escape" technique still had the potential to grow, and once he had mastered it, he would make those who had mocked him pay the price.

Afterwards, Mitokado Homura and the others waved goodbye to the others with heavy expressions. Their thoughts were the same as Hiruzen Sarutobi's: to continue honing their abilities and strive to become true strongmen.

Uchiha Kagami, equally frustrated and disillusioned, headed towards the clan's territory, only to be blocked by a figure after taking just a few steps.

"Please make way."

Uchiha Kagami frowned. Could it be that some lawbreakers he had offended during law enforcement had come to cause trouble?

"Jingzai, what's bothering you?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Uchiha Kagami looked up in surprise, only to see Uchiha Gin, whose eyes gleamed with a salty glint, looking at him lazily.

"Here, have a smoke to cheer yourself up~"

Seeing his nephew's worried expression, Uchiha Gin rummaged in his wide sleeves and pulled out a bright yellow rod-shaped object, which he then stuffed into Uchiha Kagami's mouth without saying a word.

"Thanks... Ugh, it's so sour!"

Jingzai, who respects the elderly and cares for the young, was just about to thank his uncle for feeding him when a terrifying sour smell rushed straight to his head, almost killing him.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

He pinched his throat, bent over, and spat several times, only feeling slightly better after spitting out all the sour saliva.

He raised his head, his expression turning indignant, and questioned the culprit who had attempted to poison him.

"Uncle Yin! What are you doing~"

"See, doesn't that cheer you up?"

Uchiha Gin spat out the pink lollipop from his mouth, his deadpan eyes narrowing slightly. He showed absolutely no remorse for his actions.

"Forehead"

Having calmed down, Uchiha Kagami looked at Uchiha Gin with a relieved expression and was speechless. A bitter smile then appeared on his face.

"Uncle Yin, am I very weak?"

"Indeed, at this age, he's only at the three-tomoe level. He's wasted so many years of his life."

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Gin readily agreed, showing no mercy to Mirror in his words.

"At your age, I was already chatting and laughing with the previous Thousand Hands Clan Chief, and we even fought back and forth."

Shamelessly boasting about his achievements, Uchiha Gin looked at the bewildered Uchiha Kagami with the expression of someone who had been there all along.

"Huh? I seem to remember Grandpa saying that you were knocked out by Senju Butsuma with a single punch back then, and you almost ended up in the ancestral hall."

"Cough cough cough, your grandfather was already suffering from dementia when he said that, and you actually believed his nonsense?"

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Uchiha Gin's expression stiffened upon hearing this, his narrowed eyes flashing with a chilling light.

You dare to tarnish my glorious image behind my back? Just wait until I return to the Land of Waves and teach you a lesson!

"But that's what the deputy chieftain said too."

"Children speak without restraint."

"That clan chief too."

"Stop! Let's get back to your question."

With a gloomy expression, Uchiha Gin made a note of the people who had slandered him, then turned his gaze to Uchiha Kagami, who looked dejected.

"As a member of the Uchiha clan, becoming stronger is actually quite simple."

Pointing to his eyes, Uchiha Gin spoke calmly.

"However, I feel like I've reached a certain bottleneck."

"That's because we haven't encountered any problems yet. Some things will work themselves out in the end, and they will come when the time is right."

Jingzai's eyes are currently at the peak of the Three-Tomoe realm, just one opportunity away from becoming the Eye of God.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan, you know?"

Uchiha Kagami bit his lip. He naturally knew the legends about the Mangekyou Sharingan, but the thought of the conditions for awakening it made him feel like a deflated balloon.

"If that's the case, I'd rather not have it."

"Don't be so pessimistic. Look at Madara and his brother, they're like kaleidoscopes that open without any damage~"

Patting Jingzi on the shoulder, Uchiha Gin gave a very apt example.

"Uncle Yin, you..."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Kagami's face revealed a complex expression, his gaze subtly sweeping over the black Yin Seal on Uchiha Gin's forehead.

"What's wrong?"

"I will protect you from now on. As long as I am here, no one in Konoha will be able to bully you."

"ha?"

After waving goodbye to Jingzi, who was going home to rest, with a blank expression, Uchiha Gin stroked his chin, completely baffled as to why the other had said those words.

"Forget it, why think about it so much?"

Gin Uchiha, having given up on thinking, rested his hands on his pillow, his gaze returning to its previous slyness.

Now that the Knights' War has come to a perfect end, the outcome can be considered a happy one. Uchiha Gin is about to return to his previous carefree and leisurely life. As long as no one causes any trouble, the next few years should be very peaceful.

"what?"

Suddenly, Uchiha Gin, who was slacking off during work hours, spotted a familiar figure in front of a clothing store not far away. There sat Uchiha Izuna, dressed casually, with a few bags beside him, his eyes vacant.

At the same time, the other person also saw Uchiha Gin, and a greasy smile immediately appeared on his face, which resembled a middle-aged Sasuke.

"Big cousin, skipping work again?"

"How could that be? I worked the night shift yesterday and just got off work. I'm going home to catch up on sleep."

Uchiha Gin rolled his eyes and explained his reason for being there with complete confidence.

"As for you, have you finished your work in the clan and come out to slack off? The future of the Uchiha clan rests on your shoulders."

"I am just a deputy clan chief, don't label me."

Uchiha Izuna wore a pained expression. He was originally just a mascot, someone who did nothing but loaf around, but since the clan leader wasn't taking responsibility, he was forced to take the blame.

I finally managed to find time to go shopping with my wife today, but I still got a lecture from Uchiha Gin, who skipped work.

"Honey, what do you think of this one?"

Just then, the slightly plump Uchiha Mieko came out of the shop. Seeing Uchiha Gin talking to her husband, her beautiful face immediately lit up with a friendly smile.

"Brother Yin, how have you been lately?"

"Wow~ Mieko, you're getting prettier and prettier. Oh well, that brat Izuna got lucky."

Uchiha Gin smiled and raised his hand in greeting, but his gaze then fell on Uchiha Mieko's slightly protruding belly, and his eyes instantly sharpened.

"You brat, when did you kill someone again?"

Turning to look at Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Gin felt a sense of unease.

"Hehe, just two months old."

Uchiha Izuna scratched his head and chuckled twice.

Secretly calculating the time on his fingers, Uchiha Gin's brows furrowed deeply. Looking at Uchiha Izuna, who was grinning foolishly, he asked,

"What name are you going to use this time?"

"That's naturally wealth."

"I think Fugui is a good name. Look at that kid Fuyou, isn't his name the same as the one I gave him? He's destined for wealth and great fortune."

Before Uchiha Izuna could finish speaking, Uchiha Gin preemptively offered a suggestion, even providing a vivid example.

"Uh, weren't all of those given to me by you?"

"Doesn't what I gave count?"

"Of course not!"

Seeing the displeasure on Uchiha Gin's face, Uchiha Mieko quickly and secretly pinched the talkative Uchiha Izuna, telling him to say less, otherwise the gold bricks for the holidays would be gone.

"Hey, big cousin, you didn't let me use the name last time, so you should let me use it this time, right?"

"You mean that Fugaku thing, right? You really think it sounds good?"

Seeing his younger cousin's determined expression, Uchiha Gin scratched his head helplessly. He always felt that the name was very unlucky and would give birth to a white-eyed weasel.

Please!

As the eldest brother, Izuna wouldn't dare to name his child without Gin's approval.

"Okay, okay, but you have to promise me one thing."

Faced with his younger cousin bowing deeply in reverence, Uchiha Gin finally softened.

"I agree to everything!"

Uchiha Izuna excitedly raised his head, and without even asking a question, he nodded vigorously.

"When it comes to naming your grandson, you must listen to me."

"ha?"

"By the way, Brother Yin, I just ran into someone at the mall."

Just as they were parting ways with Izuna and his wife, Uchiha Mieko seemed to remember something and said to Uchiha Gin with a mysterious expression,

"Who are you?"

You'll find out when you get home.

Instead of stating it directly, Uchiha Mieko winked at him with a hesitant expression, looking at Uchiha Gin with a completely bewildered expression.

"No, give me a hint!"

Watching Mieko turn and leave, Uchiha Gin, unable to contain his curiosity, couldn't help but shout,

All I can tell you is that she is J.

"J? What J? Who's using cheats? Hey! Don't go!"

Mieko Uchiha, who left with a smile covering her mouth, did not reveal any further useful information to Gin Uchiha.

"What does that mean?"

Walking home, Uchiha Gin's mood grew heavy; the mysterious codename J kept replaying in his mind.

"Phew~"

Looking at the familiar gate, Uchiha Gin took a deep breath. Since Mieko hadn't warned him of danger, it meant that the mysterious J wasn't an enemy.

"I refuse to believe anyone can scare me!"

With his half-closed eyes wide open, Uchiha Gin straightened up, pushed open the door with a wave of his hand, and was determined to see who J really was. He hadn't wasted his years of experience!

"Huh? Curly-haired baboon, you skipped work again today?"

A strange female voice sounded in his ear. Uchiha Gin, who was still in the position of pushing open the door, was drawn to a dazzling wave. Looking at the vast expanse of white skin and the bottomless cleavage, his whole body stiffened slightly.

"Who are you?"

Uchiha Gin, whose soul was captivated by the towering waves, swallowed hard after a long while and asked in a stiff tone, his gaze still fixed on the deep ravine that was so captivating.

This is even bigger than the scar on Biluo's body. Who exactly is its owner?

"Huh? Did you go crazy from working the night shift last night?"

The owner of the voice frowned, wondering if Uchiha Gin might be suffering from dementia, given his age.

Following his unwavering gaze, he looked down at the scar that had inadvertently appeared on his face, and a deep sense of mockery instantly spread across his expression.

"What, you can't recognize me now that I've grown bigger?"

As he spoke, the owner of the huge scar used his arms to support the rounded shape that defied gravity, deliberately squeezing it upwards to transform the bottomless ravine into an alluring line.

"Get bigger. Bigger, indeed very big."

Uchiha Gin then seemed to wake from a dream and replied to the other person's words. As a result, the other person tilted their head, and their long, smooth hair, which was black and white, fell down, covering the magnificent scenery, but it had a kind of hazy beauty that was faintly visible.

"!!!"

Upon seeing the familiar hair color, Uchiha Gin's deadpan eyes nearly burst into tears. He struggled to tear his gaze away from the beautiful scenery and slowly moved upwards. Before him stood a stunningly beautiful face, and the owner of the voice was smiling radiantly as she tilted her head and looked at him.

"Curly-haired baboon, do I look good in my new clothes?"

Having transformed into her ultimate form, Senju Itama lifted her brand-new long dress and twirled around, eagerly awaiting Uchiha Gin's evaluation.

"This new dress is so white. Ugh! This white dress is huge!" (End of Chapter)
