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

Upon hearing Uchiha Gin's sudden voice, the Uchiha Madara brothers trembled with a chill, as if they had heard the whispers of a demon.

Hello~(＾◇^)/

"Big...Big cousin, I'm about to become the face of Konoha, could you please not... those guys?"

So this is what Madara Uchiha was afraid of. In the past few days, he had been completely controlled by Gin Uchiha, with his schedule inexplicably filled up.

One minute he was endorsing diapers, the next he was handed a bottle of foot care products for seniors. The number of products he handled was so many that even Madara Uchiha questioned his own existence. His overall workload was no less than fighting a battle at the Valley of the End.

Facing his timid and submissive older cousin, Uchiha Ginken frowned slightly, his eyes filled with heartache.

"That's where you're wrong. The reason everyone chose you to be their spokesperson is entirely because they trust you, my dear cousin. How can you bear to let them down?"

"That being said, but the men's restroom..."

"No buts! It's just a little penis in the toilet, I'll arrange for staff to clean it regularly."

Seeing his younger cousin's reluctance to speak, Uchiha Gin instantly understood. He then patted his shoulder reassuringly and made a promise.

Is that really true?

"I would never lie to my brothers."

Uchiha Gin nodded seriously, but secretly curled his lip in disapproval.

The advertisement for "Little GG, a treatment for urological diseases," posted in the public restroom stalls of Konoha, comes with a hefty endorsement fee; how could Uchiha Gin easily give it up?

At worst, there will be fewer posters in the men's restrooms, but the number of men in the women's restrooms will double.

He refused to believe that Madara Uchiha could sneak into the women's restroom to observe the people's conditions.

"Big cousin, what about mine...?"

"Oh dear, I almost forgot about it if you hadn't said anything."

Turning to look at Uchiha Izuna's fawning expression, Uchiha Gin seemed to see a middle-aged man, Sasuke, who had lost everything and was forced to smile in front of him to make a living.

"Izuna, this is a new endorsement and commercial performance. The response to the sanitary napkins last time was quite good. As expected of the Uchiha clan, he is the man whose looks are second only to mine."

With a serious expression, Uchiha Gin patted his younger cousin on the shoulder and tossed him the prepared contract. Uchiha Izuna caught it in a fluster, then his vision went black and he almost fainted.

All of them are endorsement contracts for women's family planning products.

Nodding in satisfaction, Uchiha Gin turned his gaze to Uchiha Tomoya, who was looking at him with adoration.

"Wealth, did you learn anything?"

"My great-uncle's experience is something I could never learn in a lifetime!"

"It's alright, these few things are enough for you to live on for the rest of your life."

Uchiha Gin waved his hand, leaving behind a dashing silhouette for the three men with their varied expressions.

The side quest of helping the wealthy rise to power was now complete. As Gin Uchiha walked out of the Uchiha Building, he gazed at the hardworking wooden doll in the distance, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Still a clone? What on earth is Hashirama up to in prison?"

Uchiha Gin was a little puzzled. Given the relationship between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, it was impossible for them to use a clone to get by during these most important days.

Moreover, the handover ceremony is tomorrow, and Hashirama Senju's true form is still missing.

"Could it be that he's become addicted to working illegally?"

There were always informants from Uchiha Gin in the black market gold exchange. The sudden rise of these two rookies, combined with the sudden disappearance of the Senju brothers' true forms, makes it hard not to connect the two.

In addition, given that Tobirama Senju had recently offered him money, Gin Uchiha had basically concluded that the Senju brothers were doing part-time work.

"But the debts have all been paid off. Are they trying to save up for retirement?"

Because some of the village's systems are not yet perfect, the Hokage, who is in charge of Konoha, does not actually receive a retirement pension. He receives a small subsidy while in office, but it is not much.

Now that the Senju clan has been completely sold out, it's no wonder that Hashirama Senju, who can still wield a sword, is working so hard.

Otherwise, we'll have to rely on our granddaughter's cuteness to support us in the future.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! Clashes erupt again between Iwagakure and Kirigakure! The Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu, and the Second Tsuchikage, Mugen, have perished together!"

Just as Uchiha Gin was pondering the reason why Senju Hashirama had run away, the shouts of a newspaper vendor interrupted his thoughts.

"Finally, a knight is leaving the stage."

Although he didn't have a very good impression of these two, they were still the Tailed Beast Knights that he had personally helped create, so Uchiha Gin couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He tossed a banknote to the newspaper vendor, then grabbed a newspaper and began to read it carefully.

"Huh? They killed him, so they stopped fighting?"

Uchiha Gin blinked in confusion. He had assumed that with the leaders of the two major ninja villages both dead, the battle would become extremely fierce and protracted. But to his utter surprise,

The Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Mist Village have actually stopped fighting.

"That's right. We must first pacify the internal situation before fighting external enemies. It's not too late to elect a new leader before we start fighting."

Having come up with what he considered a very reasonable explanation, Uchiha Gin turned the newspaper to the other side. A small news item in a particular section caught his attention.

A once-in-a-century earthquake struck the Land of Bears. Fortunately, the epicenter was located in an uninhabited area, and as of now, there are no reports of casualties.

"With both natural disasters and man-made calamities, these days are truly full of misfortunes. Konoha is still the safest place~"

After lamenting the miserable life outside the walls and the peaceful life inside, Uchiha Gin casually handed the newspaper to a passerby, then hummed a tune as he strolled off to his classroom to do his daily tasks.

"Host failed. Gained 40 Healing Energy. Heart Steel Treasure Chest reward unlocked. (Current total Healing Energy: 130)"

Having successfully taken advantage of a clueless prisoner to steal steel, Uchiha Gin brushed off non-existent dust from his body, a faint hint of joy on his face.

"I've already saved up quite a few orbs; I'll open them all for him when I'm lucky enough to get lucky!"

The magic orbs stored in the system space were almost piled up into a small mountain. Uchiha Gin was filled with anticipation and vowed to have a lucky draw!

the next day.

The most solemn Hokage handover ceremony in Konoha has finally arrived.

Standing atop the Hokage Building, which was several times more luxurious and towering than in the original story, a confident Madara Uchiha looked down at the vast crowd below, a rare smile appearing on his usually indifferent face.

Standing beside him, Uchiha Izuna also looked excited, all traces of the dejection he had shown yesterday gone.

Once Madara Uchiha takes office, he will be the Hokage's chief strategist and also serve as the leader of the Jonin team. In this era without an elder council, he will be second only to the two leaders and above thousands of others.

"Big brother, your wish is finally about to come true."

Uchiha Izuna took a step forward, his tone extremely excited, but soon, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.

"If only Father could see this."

"I believe that our father's spirit in heaven is watching over us!"

"Achoo!"

Below, amidst the vast crowd, Uchiha Tajima, perfectly disguised, rubbed his sore nose in confusion.

Logically speaking, the climate in Konoha is much more suitable than that in the Land of Waves, so how could he catch a cold?

"That kid Madara has finally led the Uchiha clan to the pinnacle of the Land of Fire."

Uchiha Tajima raised his head, his eyes filled with relief.

"Uncle, you're not mentioning a single word about my contributions, are you?"

Standing next to Uchiha Tajima, Uchiha Gin feigned resentment and pouted.

Over the years, he raised his two younger brothers single-handedly, and he certainly put in a lot of hard work. How could you completely negate that with just one sentence?

"You have no idea what kind of expression Madara and the others will have when they find out the truth."

Uchiha Tajima looked at his amazing nephew with a complicated expression. He realized that long ago, he could no longer see through Uchiha Gin's true nature.

But what does it matter? Since ancient times, uncles and nephews have been very close. How could my nephew possibly harm me?

"I bet she'll be moved to tears~"

With a carefree laugh, Uchiha Gin turned his head and waved to two girls walking towards him from a distance.

"Uncle, I'm leaving now. You can take your time looking around."

Seeing the two girls walking gracefully towards him, Uchiha Tajima suddenly spoke up.

"Ah Yin, why isn't Senju Butsuma's daughter pregnant yet?"

"ha?"

movement?

What's that noise?

Does your stomach feel like it's thundering?

Uchiha Gin rolled his eyes, abandoned the lonely and helpless Uchiha Tajima, and left.

"Curly-haired baboon, what were you and that person talking about in your chatter just now?"

Holding hands with her best friend, Senju Itama looked suspiciously at Uchiha Gin, who had a lazy expression on his face.

"Could they be involved in some shady deal?"

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

"Itama, Mr. Gin isn't that kind of person."

Uchiha Rin, rarely seen in a simple, elegant robe, possessed a touch of allure in her eyes, her gentle gaze falling upon Uchiha Gin, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Mr. Yin, do you see any difference in me compared to before?"

Uchiha Rin raised her hands, spun around in place, and perfectly displayed the girl's innocent charm.

"Did you use a pad?"

Uchiha Gin frowned, his gaze sweeping over his adorable disciple from head to toe. After a moment's hesitation, he finally answered.

Boom!

Uchiha Gin, who had been staring intently at her, was initially filled with shyness, but upon hearing his reply, the blush that had just appeared on her face vanished instantly.

A large # appeared on her fair forehead, and the girl's dark pupils showed a faint tendency to turn red.

"You idiot!"

Senju Itama, seeing her best friend humiliated, instinctively used a headbutt, slamming it hard into Uchiha Gin's back.

But she forgot about her current figure; before her hard head could hit her lower back, two large, round balls of meat slammed into Uchiha Gin's back first.

QQ Bouncy, I love it!

"hiss"

The astonishing touch nearly sent Uchiha Gin soaring to the heavens. Suppressing a strange impulse, he delivered a sharp rap to Senju Itama's delicate head.

()state!

"Hey, what are you doing?"

The sudden, heavy blow to Senju Itama immediately triggered his passive ability, "Kun Cry," and his two large, watery eyes were filled with resentment.

"I haven't even bumped into you yet!"

"What will happen if you keep hitting it?"

Uchiha Gin awkwardly twisted his neck, pulling his gaze away from the glimpse of white skin peeking out from Senju Itama's chest.

"Hmph! Who told you to bully Sister Zhili? She clearly asked you to guess her new hair clip! Not some random random thing."

Senju Itama put one hand on his hip and pointed to the top of Uchiha Osamu's head, whose expression was strange.

Uchiha Gin then noticed that a delicate clover hair clip was pinned to the girl's purple hair.

"Sorry, sorry, this hair clip suits you perfectly."

"Thanks."

Uchiha nodded slightly, her unnatural expression still lingering. Taking advantage of the moment when the other two looked away from her, the girl secretly adjusted her cushion.

"Is it obvious?"

With a slight furrow of his delicate brows, Uchiha Osamu's thoughtful gaze swept across Senju Itama's chest beside him.

The next second, a feeling of defeat began to brew and sublimate in the girl's heart.

"Hey curly-haired baboon, where's our big brother?"

Unaware of her best friend's ulterior motives, Senju Itama stared wide-eyed at the top of the Hokage Building. With her superior eyesight, she could vaguely make out two black, spiky heads.

"Maybe he's preparing a gift."

Uchiha Gin shook his head. He really didn't know the inside story, but at this critical juncture, Hashirama Senju's main body should have returned, right?

Bear country.

In the dense forest at the heart of the no-man's-land, two figures were fiercely clashing, each impact sending out terrifying shockwaves.

"Bang!"

Hashirama Senju, wielding a broadsword, swung it down with tremendous force. The weapon, carrying immense power, crashed down onto a seemingly thin black rod, producing a piercing metallic clang.

"Hmm"

But to everyone's utter surprise, this terrifying attack was actually blocked. Hashirama Senju gritted his teeth, the veins on his hands bulging.

Jigen held the black stick in one hand, yet there was not a trace of it being shaken.

There is an insurmountable gap between you and me.

Having unleashed Jigen's Karma II state, he has already stepped one foot into the threshold of the Six Paths level, which can be considered the pinnacle of this era's version.

"Give Tobirama back!"

Driven to desperation, Hashirama Senju abandoned his broadsword, his clenched fists glowing with a dazzling blue light. His monstrous fists, capable of piercing Susanoo's defenses, slammed directly into the composed Jigen.

"Snap!"

Facing the monstrous force of the punch, Jigen calmly narrowed his eyes, and in his other hand, a sharp black rod appeared out of nowhere, piercing into Hashirama Senju's arm from the side.

"Pfft!"

A spray of blood appeared, and Hashirama Senju, dragging a bleeding arm, staggered back several meters.

"Huff, huff."

The pain caused him to pull the black rod from his arm. As he began to breathe heavily, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

"So many days have passed, are you still planning to put up a stubborn resistance?"

Holding half a dripping black rod, Jigen, floating in mid-air, watched with great interest Hashirama Senju's desperate struggle.

Three days have passed since the two began their battle. During these three days, since the cooldown time for the eye technique had not yet expired, Jigen chose to test the level of his future test subject.

As expected, Hashirama Senju did not disappoint him. Whether it was strength, stamina, chakra, or ninjutsu, Hashirama's performance far exceeded his expectations.

The results obtained from this experiment will surely surpass those of the little white figure created by that stupid woman, Kaguya.

"You are indeed very strong, no wonder you are an old turtle that has lived for thousands of years."

Faced with Jigen's provocation, Hashirama Senju shook his head. Then, under the other's questioning gaze, he raised his uninjured hand and formed a universal hand seal.

"There's no other way but to activate the stored energy." (End of Chapter)
