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

Chapter 448 My mouth is a lock!

the next day,

After a night of intense fighting, Uchiha Gin gently removed the pink arms wrapped around his neck, clutching his back and staggering downstairs. He happened to run into Senju Itama, who was carrying breakfast.

"Good morning! What did you eat today?"

"snort!"

After exchanging greetings as usual, Uchiha Gin reached for the large white steamed bun that Senju Itama was holding, only to be dodged by the latter and given a disdainful glare.

"Forehead"

Watching Senju Itama's sullen back, Uchiha Gin scratched his head in confusion. He hadn't provoked her recently, had he?

Is it because the allowance is too small?

"Please use it."

In a nearby restaurant, Senju Itama placed the prepared breakfast in front of Otsutsuki Tsukihime, who looked somewhat dejected.

Looking at the girl with slightly dark circles under her eyes, Senju Itama couldn't help but feel a strange sense of kinship.

"Thanks."

Having spent the entire night without sleep, Tsukihime Otsutsuki's once flawless white eyes were now bloodshot. Looking at the large white steamed bun in front of her, she subconsciously thought of the Otsutsuki Hikari she had inadvertently "observed" the previous night.

How can a person be that big?

Sister Biluo must have used technology!

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"It's okay, I'm a bit picky about which bed I sleep in?"

Upon hearing Senju Itama's question, Ōtsutsuki Tsukihime looked up, about to offer an explanation, but the towering mountain peaks that came into view filled her with shame and disbelief.

How come she didn't notice yesterday that this woman is also so big?

"Where's Xiaoguang?"

Just as Tsukihime Otsutsuki was feeling down, Gin Uchiha pulled out a chair and sat down.

She should still be sleeping.

Because two personalities reside within him, Xiaoguang's sleep time is slightly longer than that of a normal person.

"Tsukihime, when are you planning to set off?"

Uchiha Gin casually picked up the large steamed bun in front of Otsutsuki Tsukihime, took a big bite, and the fluffy, soft texture of the dough brought a satisfied smile to his face.

"Set off?"

Tsukihime Otsutsuki tilted her head in confusion.

"Huh? Didn't you come down here to look for someone?"

"That's right, but I'm unfamiliar with the area and the people here."

Seeing that Tsukihime Otsutsuki had been staring at him while speaking, Gin Uchiha stopped torturing the large white steamed bun and spoke in a strange tone.

"You don't want me to help you, do you?"

"Um."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin rubbed his forehead, realizing that people don't come to the temple without a reason.

"Is that not allowed?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin's troubled expression, Otsutsuki Tsukihime's delicate brows furrowed slightly, a strange sense of grievance rising in her heart, and her exquisite face wrinkled in distress.

"You're the only person I can trust on Earth."

"Don't make that face, I didn't say no."

Looking at Tsukihime Otsutsuki, whose expression resembled that of an abandoned puppy, Gin Uchiha reluctantly put down the half-eaten steamed bun in his hand.

Where did my sister-in-law learn this trick? She's getting harder and harder to deal with.

Give me back my former aloof Otsutsuki clan leader!

"So that means you agree?"

Ōtsutsuki Tsukihime's expression revealed that her plan had succeeded, and her tightly furrowed brows leaped up in delight.

As expected, there is a wealth of knowledge in books. She didn't waste her time reading "Thirty-Six Ways to Make Men Irresistible." The effect of just the first move, the eye attack, was so outstanding.

"Let me handle it."

Anyway, he was going to investigate the matter, so why not take advantage of getting a powerful henchman for free?

After openly and legitimately finishing off Princess Otsutsuki's breakfast, Uchiha Gin wiped his mouth, got up, and went out.

"Going to work so early?"

Senju Itama, who came out carrying another serving of breakfast, glanced strangely at the clock on the wall.

"Something came up, so you don't need to prepare my dinner tonight."

As the saying goes, three women make a drama, and there are quite a few women in the family now, a full four and a half, which is full of unstable factors, so he can try to avoid them for as long as possible.

Walking down the street, Uchiha Gin fiddled with the Wood Release artifact that Chiyo had sent him yesterday. After hesitating for a moment, he changed course and headed towards the towering Hokage Building.

The guards today were all familiar faces, and Uchiha Gin walked unimpeded to the top floor.

Bang bang bang——

"Come in!"

Uchiha Gin pushed open the door and entered. The four people in the room looked up and, upon seeing him, all showed expressions of confusion.

"Big cousin, what's the matter so early?"

After some time apart, Madara Uchiha visibly looked much older, his eyes filled with weariness.

Looking around and seeing that everyone there was family, Uchiha Gin didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"I received a private commission to travel abroad for a medical consultation."

Besides his primary role as a ninja, Uchiha Gin had other identities.

For example, the highly prestigious Konoha No. 1 sales champion.

The top developer in Konoha with exceptional research and development skills.

A renowned gynecologist whose virtues resounded throughout the ninja world, and so on...

"Going abroad?"

Madara Uchiha was taken aback by what he heard. Wasn't it a bit too dangerous to go abroad at this critical juncture?

"That's right, an old friend is injured, I'm going to check on him."

"No!"

Before Madara Uchiha could even respond, a voice rang out from the side.

"Currently, cross-border missions have been suspended, and registered ninjas are not allowed to leave the country without orders."

Uchiha Gin turned to look at Senju Tobirama, whose brows were furrowed.

Another shadow clone. What on earth is this white-haired guy up to?

Although Tobirama Senju, as the developer of the Shadow Clone Technique, perfectly embodied the essence of this ninjutsu, even to the point of being able to evade the detection of the Sharingan,

However, Uchiha Gin's perception was superior. He could not only tell at a glance that the Senju Tobirama in front of him was a shadow clone, but he could also sense traces of the Transformation Technique on him.

"I'm not going out as a ninja."

Rolling his eyes at Tobirama Senju's sullen expression, Gin Uchiha pulled out a white lab coat and put it on.

"No means no. You'd better stay in Konoha like a good girl!"

Seeing Uchiha Gin's lightning-fast transformation, Tobirama Senju's eye twitched, but he still firmly rejected his request to go out.

"My older cousin?"

Ignoring Tobirama Senju, Gin Uchiha turned to Madara Uchiha, signaling for him to give him an answer.

"Big cousin, you'd better not go out unnecessarily for a while."

"How can that be? The thick layer of rice is in imminent danger; how can I ignore it?"

Uchiha Gin immediately straightened his expression and stared intently at Uchiha Madara.

"So, where are you planning to go?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin's insistent attitude, Uchiha Madara had no choice but to ask where Gin was going before making a decision.

"The Land of Wind".

"The Land of Winds"

Madara Uchiha pondered for a moment, then pressed on with the question.

"Sunagakure?"

"No, I'm going to Loulan."

According to Chiyo's letter, the monk was attacked on his way to Loulan and was taken to Loulan for treatment after falling unconscious.

However, it wasn't that Loulan had a high level of medical care.

However, once he left the territory of Loulan, Shamen's injuries would inexplicably worsen.

"As for Loulan, it's not that they don't want to."

Loulan is located in a relatively remote area of ​​the Land of Wind, far from Sunagakure, so it shouldn't cause any unnecessary trouble.

"No! It's not allowed anywhere outside the country; it's too dangerous!"

Tobirama Senju jumped out again. He didn't want Gin Uchiha to put himself in danger, since his own eyes were still in the other party's hands!

"Indeed, in these turbulent times, it's best not to go abroad."

Madara Uchiha pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head. He didn't want Gin Uchiha, an old man in his sixties, to suffer the hardship of traveling.

"There won't be any danger. I'm taking Xiaoguang with me this time."

"Just one?"

Tobirama Senju spoke up again, but his question was completely unexpected.

Uchiha Gin turned his head and glanced at him, whose face was full of conflict.

"If you want me to bring more, that's not impossible."

One is enough!

If Uchiha Gin also tricked his sister out of the village, wouldn't he really become a lonely man?

"Can I go?"

"This matter is of great importance; we need to hold a meeting to discuss it."

Tobirama Senju and Madara Uchiha exchanged a glance, then Tobirama spoke, ordering them to leave.

Uchiha Kagami, who had been AFK the whole time, tactfully opened the door to see him off.

Judging from his tone, it seems like there's no chance.

On this matter, my younger cousin unusually sided with Tobirama Senju, the white-haired man, and neither of them wanted to go abroad.

As Uchiha Gin was leaving, he suddenly turned and extended an invitation to Uchiha Kagami, who had opened the door.

"Jingzai, wanna grab a drink after get off work?"

The latest novel is first published here!

"Okay, Uncle Yin."

"I'll be waiting for you at the usual place."

After leaving the Hokage Building, Uchiha Gin saw that it was still early, so he went back to the prison to slack off and casually showed him his daily routine.

After finding a lucky person to farm the steel, he held the prisoner statistics sheet and suddenly discovered that there were quite a few more prisoners in the jail.

"Lord Yin, you mean them?"

Morino Inosuke, who had been called in to answer questions, had a look of sudden realization on his face.

"They all infiltrated Konoha's spies during this period. The interrogation department couldn't hold them all, so they were transferred to the prison."

With such a surge in spies, it's highly likely that the other ninja villages suspect that the attack on the Tailed Beast Riders was a decapitation operation orchestrated by Konoha.

"Sigh... these are truly troubled times."

Uchiha Gin sighed.

"Who says otherwise? A large number of people have recently been transferred to the border patrol. It seems like something big is about to happen."

Morino Inosuke nodded in deep agreement, a hint of relief in his eyes.

His current position is in logistics, which allowed him to temporarily escape the first round of selection.

But whether we'll be so lucky next time remains to be seen.

"It will be alright."

Noticing Morino's worry, Uchiha Gin patted him on the shoulder and casually handed him the unfinished work.

"Lord Gin..."

Morino Inosuke, who had been somewhat moved, froze.

"I have dinner plans with someone, so I'll leave the rest of the finishing touches to you."

Looking at the statistical table in his hand, which only had a signature, Morino Inosuke felt a thousand curses welling up in his mouth that he couldn't bring himself to say.

Dalang Barbecue Restaurant

"Big brother, the usual rules."

"Ah Yin, it's been a while since you've come."

"I can't help it, I've been quite busy lately."

With a sigh, Uchiha Gin accepted the tea offered by Uchiha Taro and said...

"I've made an appointment with Jingzai. Please give me a bottle of your favorite wine later."

"no problem!"

Uchiha Taro patted his chest and guaranteed,

"The kind without any added water."

"..."

Whoosh—!

After sitting alone in the private room for a while, the door suddenly opened, and there stood Uchiha Kagami, who had arrived late.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's alright, let's eat and talk."

With practiced ease, he flipped the sizzling, oily grilled meat, his gaze falling on his beloved nephew.

"Have they reached a decision? Uncle, can I go out now?"

"Well, the Hokage doesn't really have any objections, it's just that my teacher..."

Uchiha Kagami, who was warming the sake, paused for a moment, then truthfully relayed the results of the small meeting.

"I knew it."

Uchiha Gin pursed his lips. His older cousin was always obedient; he would definitely agree.

The only variable is Tobirama Senju, that white-haired guy. I have to find a way to deal with him so that I can leave the village legitimately.

"Actually, I think it's best if you don't leave the village recently, Uncle."

Why?

Uchiha Gin asked a question he already knew the answer to.

"This is all for your safety."

Because Madara Uchiha had issued a gag order, and knowing the perilous situation, Kagami Uchiha didn't say much. Instead, he raised the warmed sake and poured a cup for Gin Uchiha first.

"Don't just look, try some too. This is five-whip wine that Dalang has been brewing for many years."

He picked up a cup and took a small sip. Uchiha Gin felt a surge of heat rush from his throat into his body, winding through his meridians forty-nine times before flowing into his somewhat limp kidneys.

hum! ~

Listen, that's the roar of an engine coming back to life.

"Hakitarou, you've actually been hoarding such divine wine!"

"Is it really that effective?"

Looking at Uchiha Gin, whose face was flushed with skepticism, Uchiha Kagami carefully poured himself a cup, hesitated for a moment, and then drank it all in one gulp.

A few minutes later,

Snapped! ——

With his face flushed red, Uchiha Kagami slammed his hand on the table, gulped down the wine he had just poured, let out a burp, and then began to vomit bitterly.

"Hiccup~ Uncle Gin, I'm under so much pressure right now. It's one thing for the Hokage to give me tasks, but now even Izuna is giving me tasks. What's even more infuriating is that my teacher has started to shirk his responsibilities."

"That's because they're grooming you to be their successor. Jingzai, you have a bright future ahead of you!"

"I think it should be cattle and horses that can be ridden."

Uchiha Kagami, still resentful, poured himself another cup.

This liquor is quite potent; Jingzai started talking nonsense after only a few cups.

"Any gossip you've heard lately that you can share with your uncle?"

Seeing his nephew, who was already delirious, Uchiha Gin's eyes darted around, and he began to try to get information out of him.

He wanted to know more detailed firsthand information about the attack on the Tailed Beast Riders.

"Gossip?"

"That's right, the kind of secret that can't be known by outsiders~"

"."

The drunken Uchiha Kagami raised his head and looked at Uchiha Gin with a strange expression.

Everyone says we can't let outsiders know, but can I say it?

"What kind of look is that? Am I a stranger?"

Seeing the mocking look in Uchiha Kagami's eyes, Uchiha Gin was furious.

"Hiccup: Well, I'll tell you a shocking secret."

"Seriously, I'm known for being tight-lipped; my mouth is like a lock!"

"His teacher."

Uchiha Gin, who had hoped to extract crucial information, saw his expectations plummet when Kagami mentioned Senju Tobirama.

What kind of big scandal could that perpetual virgin possibly have?

"The teacher has an illegitimate daughter, and she's absolutely gorgeous! Tsk!"
