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

Chapter 458 A Few Things About Sending Brown Sugar to Kaguya When She Came to Do Something

After effortlessly shattering the black-robed man's sternum with a single palm strike, the fiercely competitive Tsukihime Otsutsuki immediately revealed a smug expression.

What kind of opponent did I think I was? You chickens and dogs, so utterly pathetic.

He squinted his pure white eyes, conveying a provocative message that infuriated Uchiha Hikaru, who was dodging the wooden dragon's attack not far away.

That woman who rolls her eyes is absolutely despicable!

"roar!"

Mokuryu seized the moment when Uchiha Hikaru was distracted, his ferocious mouth suddenly opened wide, and his crisscrossing sharp teeth stabbed down, causing the girl's frail body to sway precariously like a piece of duckweed in the rain.

However, facing the menacing wooden dragon, the black-haired girl showed no fear. After glaring back at the smug Tsukihime Otsutsuki, the three tomoe in her eyes quickly merged, transforming into a bewitching and complex pattern.

"Amatilas!"

Uchiha Hikaru raised his head and, without any warning, launched his attack in zero frames. The immense power in his eyes transformed into blazing black flames, instantly engulfing the massive wooden dragon.

"Crackling. Crackling."

The once arrogant wooden dragon didn't even have a chance to struggle before it turned into black ash and vanished with the wind.

However, the black flames did not die out. Amaterasu, who was said to incinerate everything, transformed into a winding fire serpent, climbing across the golden sand dunes.

"Die."

Uchiha Hikaru, wielding the power of Kagutsuchi, his eyes filled with madness, manipulated Amaterasu to bite at the third black-robed man who was still in a hand seal posture.

Faced with Uchiha Hikaru's counterattack, the black-robed man, recognizing the terrifying destructive power of Amaterasu, did not choose to confront it head-on. Instead, he leaped away, nimbly dodging the attack of the black flame serpent.

"Where do you think you're going!"

How could Uchiha Hikaru give up? His crimson eyes were fixed on the black-robed man's movements, black flames following him like a shadow.

Under her precise manipulation, the enormous black snake began to split, encircling and attacking her from all directions.

"."

Number Three twisted to dodge, but the girl's manipulation of Kagutsuchi was too skillful, and in the end, a black flame wrapped around her arm.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, tearing off the black cloak he was wearing just before the black flames touched his skin.

Before the cloak even hit the ground, it turned into black ash and scattered.

"Well"

The true face of the man in black was finally revealed to everyone. The girl manipulating Amaterasu's gaze sharpened, and the fire serpent stopped.

"It really is Hashirama Senju?"

Looking at the familiar face of the man in black, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"I never imagined that such advanced cloning technology already existed in this day and age."

This exposed man in black robes, apart from his unhealthy pale skin, looked exactly like the missing Hashirama from the prison.

Uchiha Ginya stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the three epoch-making beings before him, his doubts reaching their peak.

Not only does it perfectly inherit all the values ​​of the original game, but it also comes with other hidden functions.

Even Tobirama Senju wouldn't dare guarantee that he could clone a work of this caliber.

Could it be that the mastermind behind this has alien assistance? Otherwise, how could they unlock such supermodel genetic engineering technology ahead of time?

"No, since it's a perfect replica of Hashirama's prison cell, then..."

Seeing the clone that was identical to Hashirama Senju, Gin Uchiha slammed his fist down and quickly turned to Tsukihime Otsutsuki beside him, shouting...

"Tsukihime, be careful, he's not dead."

"ha?"

Thinking she had easily defeated the enemy, Tsukihime was preparing to head to Uchiha Gin's side for the clichéd scene of a damsel in distress rescuing a hero.

Upon hearing the reminder, she turned around in confusion, and the scene before her made her pupils dilate slightly.

"Are you really not dead?"

The corpse, whose sternum had just been shattered by a single divine strike and whose life force was almost completely gone, miraculously stood up again, looking fresh and vibrant.

Moreover, the fatal indentation in her chest is visibly healing.

Once the cleavage on his chest was filled with fresh flesh, the man in black robes simply reached out and tore off his damaged cloak, revealing a face that was identical to that of Hashirama Senju.

"Since he is a clone from Hashirama's prison, he must have inherited his Sage Body with its terrifying self-healing ability. As long as the injury is not too fatal, he will recover after a while."

How could Gin Uchiha not know what Hashirama Senju was made of?

The number one person below the Six Paths of Reincarnation!

Even his younger cousin, who has awakened the Rinnegan, might not be able to withstand Hashirama Senju at full power.

In the original work, when the Edo Tensei plant was summoned, its strength was not at its peak during its lifetime.

Even so, he could still easily overpower Madara Uchiha in his perfect Edo Tensei form.

In Uchiha Gin's timeline, the reason Hashirama was overthrown by his cousin at the bottom of the prison was entirely due to Ashura's reincarnation's chakra being stolen.

With his foundation damaged, Hashirama Senju's strength is unlikely to return to its peak.

Unless he were to risk his life, he would never be a match for his older cousin, who had somehow managed to gather all the power of the universe.

"You could have avoided death by lying there, so why did you stand up?"

The sudden resurrection of the black-robed man made Tsukihime Otsutsuki feel incredibly embarrassed. Recalling her earlier mockery of Hikaru Uchiha, it felt like a slap in the face, making her cheeks flush slightly with anger.

"Divine Sky Strike!"

Enraged, Tsukihime unleashed her attack, an invisible palm strike creating a deafening sonic boom and whipping up billowing yellow sand as it hurtled towards Number Four once more.

"Wood Release·Wood Spindle Wall."

Having learned his lesson once, Number Four reacted as if anticipating Yue Ji's move the instant she raised her hand. Rows of wooden stakes burst from the ground, curving into arches that tightly enveloped him.

"Snapped!"

The palm strike swept past, sending up countless wood chips. The thick wooden wall was torn away in large chunks by Yueji's attack. Number Four, bent over, looked at the badly damaged wall with lingering fear.

"die!"

Before he could even finish his surprise, Tsukihime, her body radiating blue-green chakra, had already arrived, unleashing an ancient fist technique passed down for a thousand years by the Otsutsuki clan.

"ha!"

Faced with Yue Ji's fierce killing moves, Number Four had no choice but to raise his arms to defend, and his burly body was forced to retreat repeatedly, putting him at a disadvantage for a time.

Seeing his sister-in-law's performance, Uchiha Gin nodded in satisfaction. The girl truly lived up to her reputation as the number one Baturu on the moon.

Meanwhile, on Hikari's side, she was already locked in combat with the clone of Hashirama Senju again. The girl, now wielding the Mangekyou Sharingan, was now firmly in control of her opponent.

If the clones can't come up with anything else, failure is only a matter of time.

But since the opponent is, after all, a clone of Hashirama from the bottom of the prison, it's not impossible that he has one or two trump cards up his sleeve.

Uchiha Gin shook his head inwardly, his gaze falling on the black-robed man not far from him. He was quite surprised to find that the man showed no intention of helping him and kept his eyes fixed on him.

"You don't seem worried about your teammates."

"We are very strong."

Upon hearing Uchiha Gin's voice, Number One slowly spoke, while his dark gaze swept over him.

You should be worried about yourself.

"You're quite polite; you really did inherit that from Hashirama in prison."

Surprised that this man in black robes could actually communicate with him, Uchiha Gin nodded with a strange expression.

"I thought you were a machine~"

He had initially thought these black-robed figures were merely biological weapons, devoid of any emotion, but it turned out they were quite human.

"machine?"

Upon hearing this word, Number One's expressionless face twitched slightly, his rigid brain began to work slowly, and a hint of humanity appeared in his lifeless eyes.

"I'm not a machine!"

Number One abruptly raised his head, deliberately pulling back the cloak covering his head to reveal Uchiha Gin's familiar face, as expected. However, compared to the other two, his expression was more horrifyingly twisted.

"I want to become a human being, a complete human being, so..."

"ha?"

Seeing the black-robed man suddenly lose control of his emotions, Uchiha Gin, feeling utterly bewildered, scratched his head in confusion.

I just gave a compliment, why is the other person so upset? I was being sincere.

"Give me the fruit!"

With a low growl like that of a wild beast, Number One vanished from the spot in an instant.

Oh no! Gintoki is in danger!

Seeing this, the two women, who were locked in combat with their respective opponents, tensed up, their pretty faces filled with worry. They increased the force of their blows, making the two clones suffer greatly.

"Ha~"

However, Uchiha Gin, the person involved, remained as lazy and listless as ever, and even stretched.

"I haven't been active in a long time, I feel like I'm about to rust."

Facing the possibility of being attacked from all directions, he casually reached for his ninja tool pouch at his waist and took out a gray driver.

"Whoosh!"

Before he could fasten the driver to his waist, a piercing whistling sound suddenly rang out.

A fist the size of a clay pot fell from above, carrying monstrous strength enough to smash an ordinary Jonin into mincemeat.

The latest novel is first published here!

"A-Gin, watch out!"

"You're really impatient."

Uchiha Gin pursed his lips, seemingly casually taking a step back, and miraculously dodged Number One's lightning strike by the slightest margin.

"boom!"

The fist sank into the soft sand instantly. The immense force, unable to dissipate, caused a massive explosion, sending sand flying everywhere.

Having anticipated this, Uchiha Gin lightly touched the ground with his toes and retreated several meters to avoid the sand and gravel that shot into the sky.

"You're so easily flattered. I was just saying you were as polite as Hashirama in prison, and now you've turned into this."

Shaking his head with a regretful expression, Uchiha Gin successfully fastened the driver to his waist.

"Huh? That human who looks a bit annoying is also a Tailed Beast Rider?"

Jigen, who was spying from a distance, blinked in confusion. Among the information he had gathered, there was no mention of a person named Uchiha Gin, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Uchiha Gin's half-closed eyes flashed with a faint red light, and a complex triangular pattern flickered in his vision.

An inexplicable aura suddenly erupted from his body, and his every move exuded extraordinary power.

"Wang Liang, unite!"

As soon as Number One emerged from the sandstorm, he saw Uchiha Gin striking a cool transformation pose. A sense of unease immediately arose within him, and he adopted a blocking stance, ready to respond to any eventuality.

When soldiers come, stomp your feet; when water comes, stomp your feet too.

"Quack~ Quack~"

As a result, almost a minute passed, and even a crow passing by couldn't stand it any longer, letting out a piercing laugh at the two who remained frozen in place.

Uchiha Gin, whose limbs were stiff from posing, frowned slightly.

Why didn't Sister Wang help out at this crucial moment of showing off?

"Um... could you wait a moment? I need to ask you something."

Lowering his somewhat stiff arm, Uchiha Gin spoke earnestly to Number One, who was in a defensive stance.

"Don't take too long, I'm in a hurry."

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Gin spoke to him in a consultative tone. After a brief moment of confusion, Number One surprisingly nodded.

For some reason, he somewhat liked the feeling of being treated as a human being.

"Sister Wang, wake up! Time to get back to work!"

Having secured a pause, Uchiha Gin hurriedly entered the Shadow Realm and began summoning his important transformation item in this black-and-white world.

"Sister Wang, where are you?"

"Sister Wang the Elder."

However, even after Uchiha Gin shouted at the top of his lungs for a long time, the usually lively, dark-skinned, rabbit-eared older sister was nowhere to be seen. In desperation, he had no choice but to resort to his trump card.

"If you don't come out soon, we'll never serve hand-crushed lemons again."

despair--

Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Gin heard footsteps behind him, and his face instantly lit up with joy.

"You've finally arrived! It's been so long since we've teamed up. Let me have some fun today, okay?"

Looking at the icy-faced, dark-skinned older woman, Uchiha Gin shamelessly approached her, pleading and trying to corrupt this upright creation of eye techniques with sweet words.

"After it's done, the lemonade will be doubled!"

"I'm not available."

Kaguya shook her head expressionlessly, a faint fear hidden deep within her white eyes.

Her current disguise might fool the thick-skinned descendant of Uchiha Gin, but it definitely wouldn't fool that man.

The three clones outside were, without a doubt, the work of Isshiki Otsutsuki.

That petty guy is probably hiding nearby watching the show right now. If she goes out rashly, she'll definitely be exposed.

Not only will her identity be discovered, but it will also implicate Uchiha Gin, who is unaware of the truth.

"Is something up again?"

Sensing that Wang Liang seemed to have something difficult to say, Uchiha Gin blinked, then suddenly realized and raised a finger.

".Um."

Kaguya's breath hitched upon hearing this. She held her breath, clenched her fists, and barely suppressed the urge to give Uchiha Gin a sharp rap on the head. She nodded almost imperceptibly.

Now that things have come to this, even if the other party misunderstands her, Kaguya has no choice but to accept it.

It's better to be branded with the stigma of being a aunt than to be captured by Yishi and used for alchemy, right?

"Hey, you should have said so earlier. I'm not the kind of unreasonable boss."

Since it was inconvenient for the two to combine, Gin Uchiha didn't force the issue. He didn't necessarily want to use the power of a knight to fight.

"Then you should get some rest. Keep this package safe. Don't drink iced lemon water for a while, or it will harm your health."

Before leaving, Uchiha Gin rummaged in his backpack for a while, then stuffed a dark, hard lump into Kaguya's hand, giving her a few careful instructions.

After Uchiha Gin left, Kaguya opened the things he had left behind and took out an irregular, dark brown hard lump.

"What is this?"

After observing it for a while, she curiously smelled it, then stuck out her little tongue and licked it, her tense little face instantly relaxing.

"Uh, it's actually quite sweet!"
