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

"Looking for Danzo?"

After settling his colleagues who were trapped in a midsummer night's dream, Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that no one had died. Then, he frowned in confusion.

Why did Uchiha Gin make such a big fuss about barging into the Anbu's rest room? Was it really just to find someone?

Or is it...?

Is it

This is to check whether the personnel in the Dark Division have exceptional vigilance and teamwork skills, in preparation for the future second-generation leader.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was naturally cunning, had countless dark thoughts running through his mind in an instant, and his gaze toward Gin Uchiha became strange.

What a wonderful combination of "four neithers and twos" (meaning neither of them being straightforward or not), he's just too adorable!

"Hiss, the tea in your Anbu is way too cheap! I'll go tell Hashirama in jail tomorrow and get you some better tea."

Completely unaware that Hiruzen Sarutobi had already concocted a whole drama, the outgoing Uchiha Gin casually poured himself a cup of tea from the lounge, took a sip, and found it extremely bitter—even the leaves on the roadside were better.

They're still using entrapment tactics!

It was clearly decided in the Hokage's office meeting a while ago to cut the daily expenses of the Anbu.

They're saying this now, they must be testing whether our Anbu members have any disloyalty. If they have any complaints or grievances, Madara Uchiha will definitely use this as leverage to carry out a major reshuffle of the Anbu after he takes over.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a chill run down his spine and dared not continue along the lines of his own deductions. He adopted a grateful expression, shook his head, and said...

"The duty of the Anbu is to serve Konoha. As soldiers of Konoha, how can we be so extravagant and licentious? As long as we have something to drink, that's fine. If not, we don't care if we drink tap water from the toilet."

No?

Uchiha Gin looked up in bewilderment at the righteous-looking Hiruzen Sarutobi, and noticed that behind him, it seemed as if a flame of will was burning fiercely.

"Surely not? Your Dark Division's benefits should be pretty good."

"No! Our Anbu has already held a meeting and passed a resolution to work voluntarily, and from now on we will never take a single needle or thread from Konoha."

Forehead.

Are the ideological awareness of the Dark Division so high now?

Uchiha Gin scratched his head, deciding it was best not to delve any deeper into the topic, lest he hear some more nonsense later.

"I really came here to see Xiao Tuantuan."

"He's off today."

"Alright, goodbye then~"

"Did I answer wrong?"

Watching Uchiha Gin's swift and decisive departure, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately frowned deeply, his eyes, gleaming with a faint light, falling upon his unconscious, terrified colleague beside him.

"Is Gintoki's strength really only at the Jonin level?"

After quickly leaving the Hokage Building, Uchiha Gintoki strolled to the rather large Shimura clan compound. The stench of pigs that had permeated the Shimura clan compound for years had finally disappeared, which was a testament to the hard work the Shimura disciples put into practicing Wind Release outdoors every day.

Bang bang bang~

A knock came at the gate of the Shimura clan head's residence. An older servant peeked out, and upon seeing Uchiha Gin's bushy curly hair, he jumped in fright.

"Lord Yin Yin, what brings you here?"

"Is Danzo here?"

"The young clan leader has gone out and has not returned."

"Then I'll go find Brother Jin Er."

"Please come in quickly, I will go and inform the Grand Elder right away."

Following the servant into the Shimura clan's territory, Uchiha Gin made several turns and arrived at a quiet yet luxurious courtyard. The white-haired Shimura Shinji was sitting in a rattan chair under a tree, resting with his eyes closed.

The reason why Uchiha Gin skipped Shimura Kenichi, the current clan head, was because he was too cuckolded and he was afraid of being infected by him.

"Brother Jin, you look to be in good spirits!"

With a smile, he plopped down in the chair opposite Shinji Shimura, poured himself a cup of tea, took a small sip, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face. This was real tea.

"What brings you here? Has the dungeon closed down?"

Shinji Shimura slowly opened his eyes. Although his face was aged, his gaze remained sharp, and the aura he exuded was as sharp as a sword.

"Can't I come visit if I'm too busy?"

Uchiha Gin immediately put on a heartbroken expression, which made Shimura Shinji roll his eyes.

"Speak, what is it?"

People don't visit unless they have a reason, and Uchiha Gin's personal visit can't be anything good.

"Phew~ You're going to be a grandfather."

"ha?"

"I said, you're going to be a grandfather. That little Tuantuan kid, he's been having affairs everywhere, and he's finally caused a death. Now the person has found Konoha. Luckily, I found out in time and helped him appease the widow and her child."

Seeing Shimura Shinji's expression, which resembled that of someone suffering from dementia, Uchiha Gin shook his head solemnly and began to recount the truth.

"Boom!"

The sturdy rattan chair armrests were crushed to pieces by Shinji Shimura. He abruptly stood up, his eyes gleaming as he stared intently at Gin Uchiha.

"Is that really true?!"

"Given our friendship, would I lie to you, brother?"

"That damn brat!"

Upon hearing the good news, Shinji Shimura paced back and forth in the courtyard excitedly. After a moment, he rushed to Gin Uchiha.

"Take me to see my dear grandson!"

"Hey, Brother Jin, calm down. I think it's best not to publicize this for now."

Understanding the longing of a lonely elderly person for family affection, Uchiha Gin still reached out to stop the other person from pulling him.

"Although we Shimura are not from a noble family, we are quite well-known in the surrounding area. Why can't we publicize such a big event as having an heir?"

Shimura Shinji frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in his eyes, as he was stopped.

"No, no, no, things are different now. With the change of leadership in Konoha imminent, if Xiao Tuantuan, as the Hokage's personal ANBU, were to be exposed for having a child out of wedlock at this time, it would definitely affect his promising career."

Gin Uchiha patted Shinji Shimura on the shoulder and whispered a reminder.

"You need to understand that the future leaders of Konoha cannot have any dark history."

"Oh, this."

Upon hearing this, Shinji Shimura instantly snapped out of his daze and broke out in a cold sweat. After figuring out the reason, he immediately showed a look of relief.

"Mr. Yin, you haven't told anyone about this, have you?"

"What comes from my mouth will stop at your ears."

"Thank you so much!"

Shinji Shimura bowed deeply to Gin Uchiha with tears of gratitude in his eyes. If it weren't for his past friendship, his son's career would have been ruined.

"Given our relationship, there's no need for such formalities."

Uchiha Gin stepped forward and helped Shimura Shinji up.

"So what should we do now?"

"Leave this to me."

Uchiha Gin immediately patted his chest, indicating that he agreed to the task.

"If my son can safely survive this ordeal, I will surely repay him handsomely!"

"Sure, sure!"

After their secret plot ended, and having ascertained the location where Shimura Danzo usually trained, Uchiha Gin waved goodbye to Shimura Shinji.

Watching Uchiha Gin's departing figure, Shimura Shinji let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes filled with joy.

"Mr. Yin is truly a kind person. I never expected that the Uchiha clan would produce such a good person."

Deep within the primeval forest outside Konoha Village, a lithe figure moved swiftly among the treetops. Facing a large tree blocking his path, he formed a hand seal, and his ample buttocks instantly softened.

"Buttock Escape: Thousand Cuts!"

With a single, swift movement, his elongated hips transformed into a sharp blade, cleaving a tree that would take several people to encircle in two.

"roar!!!"

The sudden crash of the falling tree startled a giant bear hibernating in its tree hollow. The brown bear, tens of meters long, let out a deafening roar, its entire body radiating a bloodthirsty aura.

After identifying the culprit, the enormous bear paw, carrying immense force, slammed down towards Danzo.

"Buttock Escape - Fart Return".

Faced with this terrifying attack, Danzo remained completely calm. With one hand forming a hand seal, he unleashed his secret technique, causing his soft buttocks to swell at a visible speed. His mountain-sized bear paws slammed onto the surface, yet not a sound was made.

"roar???"

The brown bear felt as if its claws had struck cotton. After a brief moment of stunned disbelief, before it could even lift its paw to check, it felt an unstoppable force surge through its claws.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the brown bear's arm was torn apart by the force of its hip thrust, and the mountain-like arm flew hundreds of meters away.

"roar!!!"

Blood gushed from the severed arm, instantly turning a large swath of forest crimson. The brown bear, instead of showing fear in its agony, became even more frenzied, swinging its remaining arm relentlessly towards Danzo.

"Hmph, you're asking for death!"

Facing the giant claws capable of easily shattering rocks, Danzo's eyes flashed with disdain.

"I'll use you to test my new secret technique!"

With his hands clasped together, Danzo bent down, presenting his rounded buttocks to the brown bear.

"Butt-Running Technique: Blink Blink Technique!"

Danzo's pants ripped apart with a crash, and his massive buttocks gleamed dazzlingly in the sunlight. Caught off guard, the brown bear instantly lost most of its vision.

"roar!"

Before the brown bear's blurry vision, it seemed as if countless giant buttocks were dancing gracefully, leaving it unsure which one to smash into.

"Buttock Escape: Thousand Cuts!"

Seeing that the brown bear was under his control by his secret technique, Danzo's lips curled up slightly. He immediately unleashed his strongest attack, beheading the dazed bear.

"Boom!"

The huge, headless carcass of the brown bear crashed to the ground. Danzo, feeling smug, took out a pair of pants from his bag, preparing to put on at least some protection for his bare lower body.

"Slap slap slap"

"who!"

Hearing the applause around him, Danzo, who had only pulled his pants up halfway, widened his eyes in shock. He hadn't noticed anyone else nearby. A flash of malice crossed his eyes, and the ruthless Danzo was ready to silence the witness forever.

"Little Tuantuan, I didn't expect that after all these years, you'd still be as short and sharp as ever!"

"ha?"

Danzo, who had just raised his hand to form a hand seal, lowered it, quickly fastened his belt, and then turned his head with a bitter expression.

"Yin San San, could you please not appear so suddenly? I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt you."

Watching Uchiha Gin clapping with a beaming smile, Danzo sighed deeply in his heart.

He now considers himself to be on par with Uchiha Gin in terms of strength, but the trauma of his childhood still lingers, and he simply cannot lift his sword in the face of this curly-haired man.

"That move was pretty good. Was it newly developed?"

Uchiha Gin refers to the move where Danzo's buttocks glowed.

"Yes, that's a visual illusion I developed."

Danzo looked smug when he talked about his new technique. As a genius that the Shimura clan had only seen once in a century, this kind of development was just a piece of cake for him.

"It's a pity that some of them wear out quickly."

Uchiha Gin shook his head regretfully.

"Cough cough cough, I will improve in this aspect."

Danzo blushed. Although this move could achieve a surprising victory, its flaws were indeed somewhat embarrassing to admit.

"Furthermore, since you've developed illusions that target the eyes, why not add some other elements to them?"

"Please enlighten me, Gin San-san!"

Seeing Uchiha Gin's inscrutable expression, Danzo, who always pursued power, immediately transformed into a model student.

"Look, since you rely on your buttocks to release this move, why not use dermatitis to release a loud wind release, thereby disrupting the enemy's hearing and sense of smell? That way, even the most sensitive enemy would not be a match for you."

"Good! Good! Good!!!"

As Danzo listened to Uchiha Gin's increasingly outrageous remarks, he was about to roll his eyes, but upon closer listening, he found that there was some truth to them. After a few seconds of deep thought, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he uttered the word "good" several times.

"Yin San San, you truly deserve to be called Konoha's number one developer!"

"It truly lives up to its name."

Faced with the sincere compliments from his cheap disciple, Uchiha Gin calmly waved his hand, indicating it was just basic stuff.

"By the way, Yin San San, what brings you to this godforsaken place?"

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

After organizing the ideas proposed by Uchiha Gin, Danzo curiously asked him why he had come here.

It should be noted that the forest he is currently in is extremely remote, and generally no one would approach this place. That is why Danzo chose to practice his secret techniques in such a place to avoid having his shapely buttocks spied on.

"I've come to find you."

"Huh? I don't have any money!"

Upon hearing that Uchiha Gin's purpose for coming was to find him, Danzo was so frightened that he immediately clutched his pocket.

Sudden displays of enthusiasm between adults are rarely due to anything other than lending money.

"Tsk, look at you, so stingy. You've always been miserly. Have you paid back the money for the mirror yet?"

"That's a matter between us brothers."

Danzo immediately looked around, clearly indicating that he hadn't repaid the money he borrowed.

"Alright, you're a father now, can't you have a little sense of responsibility? I really don't know when you'll grow up."

"ha???"

Uchiha Gin's words were so startling that Danzo was nearly terrified, his pants almost slipping down again.

"What did you say? What do you mean by becoming a father? I'm still a virgin!"

Danzo, his face flushed, gripped his belt, determined to fight to the death for his honor.

"Forehead?"

Seeing Danzo's intense reaction, it was now Uchiha Gin's turn to frown.

This kid's reaction doesn't seem like acting either. After all, the 5.5 generation's acting skills are terrible; anyone could tell at a glance that he's a scapegoat.

"Are you a virgin?"

Looking Danzo up and down, Uchiha Gin asked with a mocking expression,

"Of course! I swore I would remain chaste for Xiaochun!"

Has it really turned out to be a misunderstanding?

Danzo was Uchiha Gin's childhood friend, and he could tell at a glance that Gin wasn't lying.

Scratching his head somewhat awkwardly, Uchiha Gin suddenly asked,

Have you been to the Land of Rivers on missions in the past few years?

"Kawa no Kuni?"

Startled by the sudden question, Danzo blinked, his mind racing. After a few minutes, he replied...

"A year ago, I went to the Land of Rivers to carry out an assassination mission."

Ugh!

The timing is perfect!

"Go into detail!"

"Ah, Yin San San, this is confidential, I can't reveal it."

Danzo shook his head with some difficulty. Their assassination missions were all personally ordered by the Hokage and the village secretary, and were top secrets of the village.

"Alright, alright, I won't ask you for the details of the mission. You just need to tell me if you know a woman named Misae."

Since it involved classified information, Uchiha Gin couldn't ask any more questions, and besides, he wasn't interested in it. Danzo could kill whoever he wanted.

But now that you've caused someone's death, I have to take charge.

"Misae?"

Danzo paused for a moment upon hearing the name, his brow furrowing slightly, a strange emotion flashing in his eyes. After a brief pause, he nodded gently.

"I have a vague impression of her. She was a civilian I met during a mission in the Land of Rivers. She even saved my life."

"Can we go into detail about this part of the plot now?"

"That's possible."

With a strange expression, Danzo nodded and began to recount what had happened a year ago.

a year ago.

"Danzo, this task is entrusted to you. Don't let your teacher down."

Tobirama Senju looked up at Danzo, who was wearing an Anbu mask, and handed him the mission document.

"Mission accomplished!"

"Assassination missions? A piece of cake."

Danzo, having unrolled the mission scroll, looked at the seemingly simple mission in his hand and wore a confident smile. For someone with top-tier Jonin strength and a unique secret technique, this kind of mission was something he could complete with his eyes closed.

Danzo set off immediately, and after packing some necessities, he embarked on his journey to the Land of Rivers alone.

At the speed of a ninja, Danzo quickly arrived outside a village in the Land of Rivers. Seeing his conspicuous ninja outfit and headband, he chose to disguise himself as a weary traveler.

"A bowl of vegetarian noodles."

The best place to gather information is in a bustling city center. Danzo, well aware of this, chose the most densely populated area of ​​the village, randomly selected a noodle stall, placed his disguised luggage aside, and said without looking up,

"Just a bowl of vegetarian noodles?"

A slightly lively female voice suddenly rang out, and Danzo frowned, saying somewhat impatiently,

"right."

Then he perked up his ears and began to listen to the gossip of the elderly people around him. His goal for this trip was to stay in this village.

"Your noodles are ready."

Feeling the heat emanating from the table in front of him, Danzo casually picked up a pair of chopsticks. Just as he was about to eat, he realized that what was placed in front of him was not the vegetarian noodles he had ordered.

"Did you bring the wrong thing?"

Danzo put down his chopsticks.

"You've got the right bowl. You look disheveled; you must have been starving for days. This bowl is on me, so please eat it."

The woman's voice that had just asked the question rang out again, and this time Danzo looked directly at the owner of the voice.

She had long, flowing hair, and her fair cheeks were dusted with flour. While not strikingly beautiful, her appearance was very pleasing to the eye. Her two large, watery eyes radiated the unique innocence of a country girl.

"If that's not enough, I can give you more noodles."

Seeing Danzo staring intently at her, the girl at the noodle stall blushed slightly and quickly looked away, her small, flour-covered hands hurriedly scrubbing her faded long dress.

"No, thank you. I just want my plain noodles."

Danzo pushed the noodles with a few more pieces of beef in front of him towards him, then shook his head expressionlessly.

Being naturally suspicious, he began to wonder if he had been exposed, and that there might be a hidden poison in the bowl of noodles in front of him.

"But you..."

The girl's gaze fell on Danzo's slightly protruding buttocks. Compared to those buttocks, his body looked very thin, as if he were malnourished.

"I don't eat beef."

"I'm fine."

Left with no other option, the girl took the beef noodles back. A moment later, she brought over a bowl of bland, tasteless vegetarian noodles. But this time, Danzo dared not touch his chopsticks, frowning as he pondered whether he had given himself away somewhere.

Why aren't you eating?

This time, the girl sat down directly on the stool opposite Danzo, blinking her eyes curiously.

I'm not hungry right now.

"Are you a traveler? My name is Misae, and my family runs a noodle stall."

After staring at Danzo with his unapproachable expression for a long time, the girl finally mustered up her courage and began to introduce herself.

"oh."

"How can you be so rude? The girl already introduced herself, and you only replied with 'Oh!'"

The girl pouted, grumbling sweetly.

Hiroshi Nohara.

Filled with doubt, Danzo, after a brief moment of thought, gave himself a pseudonym.

"Hey, Mr. Nohara, are you from the Land of Fire?"

Misae's eyes shone with a longing for the unknown as she cautiously pressed for an answer.

"no."

During a brief pause in his conversation with the girl, Danzo's fingertips flashed with a silver light as he glanced discreetly at the poison-detecting tool. Upon discovering that the noodles were not poisonous, he began to devour them.

The girl wasn't angry. She watched Danzo eat the noodles she had made with a smile until he finished. Then, she stood up excitedly.

"I'll do it again."

Thank you for your hospitality.

Danzo didn't want to get involved with anything unrelated to the mission objective, so he tossed down a few copper coins and got up to leave.

Watching Danzo's departing figure, the girl named Misae pursed her lips, picked up the copper coins on the table with a gloomy expression, and began her daily work.

"Misae~"

Suddenly, a slightly lewd voice rang in the girl's ears. Misae looked up in terror, staring at the two menacing-looking middle-aged men. Her delicate body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"What do you want to do?"

"Hehe, ever since our master ate your noodles, he's been completely out of it, so he sent us to invite you to his hotel so he can properly enjoy your noodles~"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man licked his lips, his narrow eyes revealing an undisguised lewdness. The surrounding villagers all showed expressions of pity.

"Oh no, Misae has been targeted by that guy too."

"Oh, why isn't that scoundrel leaving yet? He's ruined so many young virgins."

"There's nothing we can do. Even the village chief is so scared of him that he's bedridden. He'll probably only leave when he's tired of playing with him."

"Hehe~ Little beauty, come with us quickly!"

The evil hand reaches out to the helpless girl.

At this critical moment, a large hand appeared between them, and at the same time, a sexy, shapely bottom came into the girl's view.

"Excuse me, you're stepping on my luggage." (End of Chapter)
