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

The "wave" in the Land of Waves is actually the "wave" of the Uchiha clan.

If you asked Uchiha Gin to say he wasn't familiar with the Land of Waves, he definitely wouldn't be able to say it. Back when Konoha was first established, it was he who helped secure low-interest loans.

"I have some connections."

Gin Uchiha nodded slightly, looking at his excited nephew with a puzzled expression.

"Why are you asking this? You're not going to sneak in some contraband like your old man, are you? You're still young, you need to understand the value of precious things."

Mistakenly believing that Uchiha Yu had followed in his father's footsteps and, like Izuna, had developed a fondness for certain indescribable things, Uchiha Gin offered some advice in the tone of someone who had been through it all.

Uchiha Yu was taken aback by what he heard; Uchiha Gin's words had touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge.

"Huh? What contraband? My father never mentioned it to me."

"Oh, oh, oh~ then I got it mixed up. It should have been Erlang who bought it!"

Seeing that his nephew's doubts seemed genuine, Uchiha Gin, mindful of their long-standing family bond, promptly changed the subject, shifting the blame to Uchiha Jiro, who was equally adept at this.

"Uncle, I have a business opportunity that I'd like to explore by collaborating with the higher-ups at the Wave Country Merchant Guild. Could you please introduce me to them?"

Although he was very curious about what contraband his respected father had bought from the Land of Waves, another problem facing Uchiha Fuyu was more important.

"So you're in business. Is it profitable?"

Upon hearing the word "business," Uchiha Gin immediately became interested; he preferred the feeling of making money to the money itself.

"Wrapped!"

Uchiha Yuuki quickly revealed his plan, which Uchiha Gin nodded repeatedly in approval.

"How's it going, Uncle? Did you make any money?"

This was the first time Uchiha Yuu had planned such a large business, and he nervously looked at Uchiha Gin.

"Sure, sure, you wait for my notification."

No one turns down money, so Uchiha Gin didn't hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Wave Country Style Street.

This commercial street, which originally belonged to the Senju clan, is now wholly owned by the Land of Waves. The Senju clan emblem has long been erased and replaced with the emblem of the Land of Waves.

Uchiha Gin, who had wandered over, easily slipped into a small alley, turned a few times, and arrived at his destination: a small black door.

Bang bang bang~

"Gini!"

"Ishiya Taimei."

"The code is correct."

Creak~

After successfully making contact, Uchiha Gin pushed open the door and entered; this was one of his contact points with the Land of Waves.

"Greetings, Lord Gin!"

The person on duty immediately stepped forward and bowed upon seeing Uchiha Gin, his eyes filled with excitement.

Who is currently in charge of Konoha?

"Now is"

"It's me!"

A strong, resonant voice rang out from inside the room. Uchiha Gin's eyes widened in surprise as he watched a portly old man slowly walk up to him.

"Ah Yin, why haven't I seen you visiting lately?"

"Uncle? What brings you here?"

Standing before Uchiha Gin was none other than Uchiha Tajima, who had once been renowned throughout the Warring States period.

He was dressed in gorgeous silk clothes, and his every move exuded an air of wealth and power.

"With something this big happening, how could I not come?"

How could Uchiha Tajima miss his son's inauguration ceremony? He arrived half a month early just to catch a glimpse of Uchiha Madara.

"But what brings you here?"

In Uchiha Tajima's memory, even if Uchiha Gin had free time, he would only go to the Land of Whirlpools and never stay in the Land of Waves for long.

Therefore, there must be something important to report on this trip.

"Sigh~ It's all because of your troublesome grandson~"

Faced with his uncle's questioning, Uchiha Gin scratched his head in annoyance.

"Rich? So what if he's rich!"

Uchiha Tajima appeared before Uchiha Gin in a flash, his eyes now bloodshot and radiating a chilling aura.

"Anyone who bullies my grandson, I'll make sure they have no descendants!"

"No, that's not true. It's just that Fu You wants to talk to the higher-ups in the Land of Waves about cooperation, and I was thinking of finding someone to liaise with him."

Sensing his uncle's profound chakra, Uchiha Gin exclaimed that he was still as sharp as ever, and then recounted Uchiha Tajima's plan for the wealthy Uchiha clan.

"Good! Good! Good! You truly deserve to be my eldest grandson; you have both courage and vision."

Uchiha Tajima repeatedly said "good" with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Make arrangements for him to come see me. It's been a long time since I've seen my dearest grandson!"

A few days later, the anxious Uchiha Fuyu received a message from Uchiha Gin. The people of the Land of Waves had already arranged a meeting for him at the most expensive restaurant in Konoha.

"call"

Uchiha Fuyu, having combed his hair into an adult style and changed into a handsome suit, took a deep breath in front of the restaurant. A resolute glint flashed in his eyes as he resolutely took his first step towards becoming the richest man in the world.

"Bang!"

As the teacup fell from his hand, Uchiha Izuna stared wide-eyed at his son with an expression of disbelief.

"You're not just putting on a show, are you?"

"How could I dare to deceive Father? I did indeed reach a cooperation agreement with the Land of Waves, and the contract has already been signed."

Uchiha Tomoyu held a thick stack of contracts in his hands, his serious expression seemingly genuine.

"Impossible! Let me see it."

Unconvinced, Uchiha Izuna snatched the contract, his Sharingan flashing as he scanned it. The terms were practically freebies, so surprising he instinctively pinched his thigh.

"What kind of bewitching drug did you give those guys from the Land of Waves? When I was trying to negotiate a deal, they all ignored me."

Uchiha Izuna racked his brains but couldn't figure it out, so he turned his gaze back to his son.

"You weren't subjected to some kind of unspoken rule, were you?"

What makes us human is our tendency to suspect others with the utmost malice, even our own sons.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Father?"

Uchiha Yu rolled his eyes, recalling the friendly demeanor of that high-ranking official from the Land of Waves, and said righteously,

"That high-ranking official from the Land of Waves is a kind elder with an extraordinary demeanor. Compared to him, Father still has a long way to go."

The mysterious high-ranking officials of the Land of Waves gave the Uchiha clan a strange sense of security.

Not only that, the other party also overturned the cooperation plan that Uchiha Yu had prepared in advance, saying that since it was the first time they were cooperating, they had to show their sincerity and signed a new contract with a profit-sharing clause that was almost free.

Uchiha Hakko, the eighth in the Land of Waves.

"How can this be repaired!"

Uchiha Izuna was heartbroken to be looked down upon by his son. He secretly noted down the name of the high-ranking official from the Land of Waves that Uchiha Fuyu had mentioned, intending to find an opportunity to confront him in private to vent his anger.

On the other side, Uchiha Gin, sitting opposite Uchiha Tajima, couldn't help but tease him as he looked at the other's smiling face.

"Uncle, you're so generous!"

"I wanted to give it to them for free, but the kid insisted on giving us 20%, and it would be impolite to refuse."

Having finally managed to see his eldest grandson, how could Uchiha Tajima be stingy?

"Whatever, it doesn't matter who gets it."

Both the Uchiha clan and the Land of Waves are members of the Wave family, so it doesn't matter who gets more or less.

"By the way, Ah Yin, I heard from Fu You that Mieko is pregnant again?"

"Huh? I don't know!"

Upon hearing this news, Uchiha Gin was completely dumbfounded. He wasn't a pervert who stared at his sister-in-law's belly all day.

However, Izuna didn't tell him about such an important matter, so he must still be worried about naming me.

I already agreed to his demands, and our youngest son is named Fugaku, you're so petty~

"I can close my eyes in peace once I see the Uchiha clan flourish."

Uchiha Tajima, with one eye closed, sighed with satisfaction, while his other, wide-open eye stared intently at Uchiha Gin.

"Uncle, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Seeing the one-eyed Uchiha Tajima, Uchiha Gin naturally knew what the other was urging him to do, and quickly tried to shift the blame.

"You're right. My younger cousin is over fifty years old, and he hasn't even found a wife, let alone children. As his older brother, I do bear an undeniable responsibility. I'll punish myself with three cups!"

tons~ton~ton~

With his head held high, Uchiha Gin finished off a 1L bottle of yellow sweet water in one go, then shook his head with a look of regret.

"Hmph! You have the nerve to say that? So many women, and not a single one of them ended up?"

"No rush, no rush. I'm still in the prime of my career. Having children too early would affect my political career."

"Huh? What kind of advancement could a lousy jailer like you possibly have?"

"Oh, I don't like hearing you say that. Even jailers are divided into different ranks. Isn't the Sage of Six Paths a jailer too?"

"Achoo!"

"Big brother, have you found any trace of Mother?"

Otsutsuki Hamura, who was lazing around in the Pure Land, saw the sudden seriousness on his brother's face and immediately did a somersault, jumping off the massage chair.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki frowned, his two round eyes gleaming with an enigmatic light. He gently shook his head and then spoke.

"Although I didn't find my mother, I did find a strange guy."

"A strange fellow?"

The Sage of Six Paths, who prided himself on being omniscient and omnipotent, couldn't help but feel a sense of unease at this moment.

"A human who has lived for over a thousand years?"

With only a few days left until the Hokage election ceremony, Madara Uchiha, who had been forced into an extended vacation, could no longer contain his excitement. He rushed to the Hokage Building and found Hashirama Senju engrossed in calculations.

"Hot mom from Harbin! Stop what you're doing and come with me to pick out some clothes!"

"But I still have some accounts to settle."

The wooden clone, who had been working overtime for a month, remembered the original body's instructions and shook its head in refusal. If it were to expose its identity, all its previous efforts would be in vain.

"What's the big deal? It's all my work from now on anyway, so don't take it so seriously."

"Madara, I want to entrust a perfect Konoha to you."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, the wood clone resorted to playing the emotional card, which warmed Madara's heart.

"In that case, you should take better care of your health. I don't want to see a sickly First Hokage handing over the Hokage cloak to me."

Fortunately, under the influence of someone for many years, Madara Uchiha's obsessive personality has been greatly improved. He waved apologetically at his wood clone, then turned and left the Hokage's office.

"Phew, I almost couldn't hold it in! If we'd given ourselves away, we'd both be finished!"

Once Madara Uchiha's footsteps faded away, the wood clone finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Tobirama Senju, who was equally tense, and patted his chest with lingering fear.

"Hang in there a little longer. We've received word from the main body that we'll be able to patch the hole soon."

"Hurry up, I can't hold on any longer."

Compared to Tobirama Senju, who was carefree and homeless, Hashirama Senju's wood clone had to bear much greater pressure. Not only did Madara Uchiha visit him every few days, but Momoka Senju also urged him to go home and rest every day.

But if you ask him if he was moved?

All he could say was that he dared not move.

"It's another peaceful day, can't something interesting happen?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Since everyone around him seems to be quite busy lately, Uchiha Gin, who is usually a bit of a slacker, seems even more idle. After finishing his daily steel-level training in class, he aimlessly strolled along the wide streets of Konoha.

It is now Konoha Year 20. According to the original timeline, the five great ninja villages should be fighting tooth and nail. However, in this timeline, apart from the two arch-rivals, Kirigakure and Iwagakure, who are just weaklings fighting each other, the other ninja villages are quietly developing.

Uchiha Gin wouldn't be so arrogant as to think he prevented the war from breaking out. While Decade's identity was mysterious, it lacked credibility when it came to non-Knight battles.

The reason for the relative peace now is perhaps that everyone is waiting for an opportunity to start a war.

"We've already said it, there's no such person in Konoha!"

Please.

Suddenly, Uchiha Gin, who was lost in thought, heard a commotion in the distance, and his lifeless eyes instantly lit up.

There's some juicy gossip to come!

They rushed over, their curiosity piqued, and saw a frail woman holding a newborn baby, tears welling in her eyes, standing before the security team. A faint sadness lingered on her beautiful face.

"Madam, we have already checked the household registration for you, and there is indeed no one in Konoha who is looking for you."

The security team was led by a young man from the Uchiha clan. Looking at the woman who had come to Konoha to find her relatives, he truly felt powerless to help.

"No, he wouldn't lie to me."

The woman smoothed her long brown hair that fell on either side of her face, and her equally brown eyes were filled with an inexplicable trust.

Even if you say that, we still...

"What happened?"

"Lord Gin!"

Uchiha Gin had never been one to bear seeing married women suffer. Seeing this widow and her child, he immediately stepped forward to help. The young Uchiha from the security team, upon seeing him, showed a flash of fear in his eyes and immediately bowed respectfully.

"This lady came from outside, saying she was looking for her husband, but we searched the entire Hidden Leaf Village and couldn't find anyone like her."

"Alright, leave it to me. You guys go do whatever you need to do."

Finding people is one of Gin Uchiha's strengths. Since he can't even find them with the police force that controls household registration, keeping them around is pointless.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Master Yin."

The young Uchiha man was relieved. After handing the woman over to Uchiha Gin, he ran away without looking back.

Watching the other party's disheveled escape, Uchiha Gin blinked in confusion.

Um... Could he be the kid I spanked when we were kids?

"Madam, my name is Uchiha Gin. I am a low-level worker in Konoha. I will now serve you."

Turning around, Uchiha Gin gave the woman with a fearful expression a warm smile and began to introduce himself.

"Hello, my name is Misae, and I come from the land of rivers."

Perhaps it was Uchiha Gin's smile that had an effect; the woman gradually lowered her guard, and her expression relaxed somewhat.

"Mrs. Misae, may I ask who you are looking for?"

Orphans and widows, either bullied by their in-laws and seeking refuge in Konoha, or having been seduced and abandoned by some scumbags in Konoha and now coming to their doorstep.

"I'm here to find the child's father."

Misae showed the sleeping baby in her arms to Uchiha Gin, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"Tsk! It's garbage."

"Um, what did you just say?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I will definitely help Mrs. Misae find the irresponsible father of the child."

Please!

Glug~ Glug~

Amidst cries of hunger, Lady Misae straightened up, her face flushed. Looking at the other woman's somewhat shabby clothes, Uchiha Gin nodded thoughtfully.

"If we're not in a hurry, we can talk while we eat."

Leading the orphaned mother and child into a small noodle shop that was open for business, Uchiha Gin ordered a mild and nourishing chicken noodle soup for the hungry woman, while he himself pulled out a small notebook from somewhere.

"Before the noodles arrive, let me tell you the child's father's name."

"Hiroshi, the child's father is named Nohara Hiroshi."

Having been hungry for a long time, Misae, smelling the rich aroma in the air, couldn't help but swallow hard between answers.

"Profession."

"Hiroshi is an excellent ninja."

Hiroshi Nohara?

Ninja?

This is the first time I've ever heard the name Uchiha Gin in this world. The surname Nohara isn't uncommon, but there are no ninjas with the surname Nohara in Konoha.

"I'm sorry, there are indeed no ninjas with the surname Nohara in Konoha."

Under Misae's expectant gaze, Uchiha Gin, who had been pondering for a long time, gently shook his head.

"Impossible. Hiroshi wouldn't lie to me. He even showed me the Konoha headband."

Misae shook her head excitedly, unable to believe that the man who had made her promises was a heartless liar.

"Could he be using a pseudonym? Why don't you describe his specific characteristics?"

Seeing Misae's insistence, Uchiha Gin scratched his head and changed his questioning approach.

"Hiroshi is incredibly handsome, a hundred times more so than the village's most handsome guy."

Oh no, she's a hopeless romantic.

"He had a head of black, spiky hair."

The hairstyle is pretty classic, a standard feature for main characters.

"There is an X-shaped scar on my chin."

Forehead.

"And his buttocks, bigger than anyone I've ever seen."

"Okay! That's enough! I understand!"

"Hey hey hey, chicken noodle soup is here!"

Looking at the puzzled woman with a complicated expression, Uchiha Gin pointed to the noodles that had just been served.

"Let's eat noodles first."

"I'm fine."

Ultimately, hunger overshadowed Misae's doubts. Looking down at the fragrant noodles, she rolled up her sleeves and began to devour them in no time, finishing the large bowl in no time.

Thank you for your hospitality.

"Excuse me, do you know anything?"

After finishing her meal, Misae cautiously raised her head and asked Uchiha Gin, who was frowning in thought, "..."

"Phew, I'm starting to see some progress, but I need to confirm this first. Take this money and find a place to stay in Konoha."

Uchiha Gin let out a long sigh of relief, and with a complicated expression, pulled out several large-denomination banknotes from his bag and handed them to the bewildered Misae.

"I can't accept it; you've already treated me to a meal."

The naive Misae, seeing such large denomination banknotes she had never seen before, quickly refused them.

"Take it. Once we find the child's father, he can repay me double."

After forcibly stuffing the money into Misae's hand and giving her a few instructions, Gin Uchiha turned and walked towards the Hokage Building.

"I never expected that the least likely person would be Kogane."

Walking down the street, the Uchiha, who already knew the answer, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Given the circumstances, he, as a teacher, also bears an unshirkable responsibility. In the future, while guiding exam-oriented education, he should also appropriately conduct sex education.

"Lord Gin, the Hokage is not receiving guests today."

Unlike his usual unimpeded access, today Uchiha Gin was turned away at the door. The guard, looking troubled, informed him of the order that Senju Hashirama had just issued.

"It's alright, I'm not here to find Hashirama in prison today."

"That's good, please come in."

Fortunately, Uchiha Gin's target today was not Senju Hashirama. Upon hearing this, the guards relaxed and immediately stepped aside to let him pass.

The Anbu's duty room was on the floor below the Hokage's office. Uchiha Gin quickly found a door without any markings. After taking a deep breath, he suddenly lifted his foot...

"Bang!"

"Enemy attack!"

The wooden door was kicked into the room by Uchiha Gin, and several long swords gleaming with cold light suddenly appeared in the darkness, stabbing at his vital parts at extremely tricky angles.

"Wait! Stop!"

However, just before the long sword was about to pierce Uchiha Gin's body, a figure inside the room discovered the true identity of the person standing outside the door and immediately cried out to stop him.

"Bang!"

However, it was too late. The long sword pierced through Uchiha Gin's body with unstoppable force, and blood gushed out instantly.

"Help! Save them!"

The figure who had spoken up to stop him scrambled out, reaching out trembling hands towards Uchiha Gin's shattered body.

"Silver Three, hang in there!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was terrified. If Gin Uchiha really died at the hands of these ANBU, Konoha might be in for a major upheaval.

"Little monkey, is this how you ANBU greet each other?"

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was considering which method of death to choose, a familiar, languid voice rang in his ear.

Uchiha Gin, who should have been strung up like a bloody gourd, was sitting perfectly fine in a chair in the Anbu's rest room, his bloodshot eyes wide open, watching his grieving performance with amusement.

"Yin San San! Are you alright?"

"How could I possibly be in trouble? It's your colleagues who might need to take sick leave soon."

Only now did Hiruzen Sarutobi realize that his comrades were eerily quiet, each standing motionless, their eyes beneath the ANBU masks already filled with the crimson of fear.
