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

Chapter 459 Uchiha Gin = Kaguya Otsutsuki

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Uchiha Gin, emerging from the Shadow Realm, waved apologetically to Number One, who had been waiting for a long time not far away.

"It's alright, let's begin now."

Being mistaken for humanity number one by Uchiha Gin upon their first meeting, a sense of pleasure welled up within him, and the stiff expression on his face softened somewhat.

As he spoke, he lowered his hands from their blocking stance, clasped them together, and a Wood Release power that Uchiha Gin was intimately familiar with emanated from them.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique".

"roar!"

A robust wooden dragon burst from the earth, roaring and raising clouds of yellow sand. Number One leaped and landed atop its head, looking down at the composed Uchiha Gin.

"Hand over the fruit of the One-Tailed Beast, and I may spare your lives."

"Um?"

Upon hearing what Number One said, Cixian's usually cold expression subtly changed, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"That shouldn't be the case."

Jigen's initial intention in creating these clones was to help him collect the chakra of the tailed beasts.

Therefore, from the very beginning of the design process, the technicians used special psychological means to erase the humanity of these clones, transforming them into tools without any independent thought.

"I need to have it checked carefully when I get back."

Tools should be tools. Jigen doesn't want a biological weapon with self-awareness. Ever since he was betrayed by Kaguya, his guardian, he no longer trusts anyone.

"Sorry, I can't give you this unless you tell me who your boss is."

Shaking the irregularly shaped fruit he had been holding, Uchiha Gin began to bargain, trying to extract information about the mastermind from this seemingly dim-witted clone.

"roar!"

However, things didn't go as planned; instead, he was met by a giant dragon swooping down on him.

"Sigh~"

Uchiha Gin sighed, put away the fruit, clasped his hands together, and slammed them on the ground, unleashing a conventional ninjutsu he hadn't used in hundreds of chapters.

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

Rumbling--

With a tremor of the earth, a thick earthen wall rose from the gravel, a sturdy stone wall tens of meters high and seven or eight meters wide, easily withstanding the ferocious wooden dragon.

despair!

Number One, which landed on the sand, saw the thick wooden dragon crash into the comical Shiba Inu carved on the stone wall. It didn't even manage to scratch the other's skin, but instead shattered itself from the impact.

Undeterred by his failed attack, Number One immediately extracted a massive amount of chakra, transforming it into monstrous strength. His imposing body then emitted a dense blue light.

whoosh-

boom!

He flashed to the earthen wall and delivered a simple straight punch to the comical Shiba Inu's face. The seemingly indestructible stone wall instantly crumbled, revealing Uchiha Gin hidden behind it.

"ha?"

Uchiha Gin, taking a moment from his busy schedule, pulled a lollipop from his backpack when his opponent's iron fist came hurtling towards him, leaving him stunned and inwardly cursing.

Is this guy really that reckless?

Logically, shouldn't they continue exchanging ninjutsu for a while before switching to hand-to-hand combat?

"That's really not tolerant at all."

He quickly popped the peeled lollipop into his mouth, and a faint red glow appeared in Uchiha Gin's eyes. From the Sharingan's perspective, his fist, imbued with monstrous strength, began to slow down.

"Snap!"

With a slight tilt of his head to the right, Uchiha Gin narrowly avoided a powerful punch.

"!"

Seeing his punch miss, Number One's heart skipped a beat, and a strange sense of crisis suddenly arose within him.

"You're still a long way from being as bad as Hashirama in prison~"

Having dodged the fatal blow, Uchiha Gin's eyes fell on his opponent's wide-open ribs, and he shook his head with a sigh.

These clones clearly haven't received any systematic training in combat; they rely entirely on the muscle memory left by Hashirama Senju, relying solely on brute force to send bricks flying, without any skill whatsoever.

"Don't look at me like that!"

Taking in Uchiha Gin's disappointed expression, Number One felt a surge of inexplicable irritation. He raised his other fist high, ready to teach this disdainful man a lesson.

"The Ultimate Techniques of Uchiha Taijutsu."

Before his iron fist could land, Uchiha Gin had already raised his arm, assuming a standard stance, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with reminiscence.

"A powerful elbow strike!"

Man!

"puff!"

With a powerful elbow strike to his ribs, Number One felt as if he had been hit head-on by a helicopter crashing in Los Angeles at four in the morning. His internal organs shifted instantly, a spurt of blood shot from his mouth, and he was sent flying backward, embedding himself deeply into the wreckage of the earthen wall.

"Oops, I didn't control my strength, I'm afraid I might have elbowed him to death."

Uchiha Gin, having lowered his arm, scratched his head in frustration; he hadn't even gotten his share of the steel yet!

About half a minute later, Number One, whose eyes had rolled back, slowly woke up thanks to the powerful self-healing ability of the Hashirama cells, and forcibly detached himself from the stone wall.

"Cough cough cough... Who exactly are you?"

After landing on the ground, he coughed up the blood clot stuck in his throat and questioned him warily.

"Uchiha Gin, just an ordinary Uchiha."

Since he didn't transform, the pre-arranged dialogue wasn't triggered. Uchiha Gin turned around, revealing a pool paddle behind his clothes, and casually introduced himself.

"I don't care what you say!"

Frustrated by his elbow strike, Number One swung his fist at Uchiha Gin again, but this time it was more disciplined than his previous wild punches.

"Then I'll play with you~"

"Uchiha Gin?"

Upon hearing this unfamiliar name, Cixian, whose eyes still held lingering surprise, frowned slightly.

When Uchiha Gin first appeared, he only regarded this somewhat annoying human as a weakling; his feeble aura did not arouse his interest in the slightest.

Therefore, he kept his attention on Uchiha Hikaru, who had outstanding eye techniques, and Otsutsuki Tsukihime, whose bloodline was pure.

But now, this seemingly insignificant human male has accomplished something that many Tailed Beast Riders have failed to do.

With just one move, he injured his best work. Just who is this human?

Let me take a closer look.

Jigen, who detests uncontrollable factors, immediately activated his true form's eyes, his probing gaze falling on Uchiha Gin, scrutinizing him thoroughly from head to toe.

"hiss!"

He was utterly astonished by what he found; the truth he uncovered nearly made Cixian's eyes pop out of their sockets.

That human, apart from having black hair, had all other physical characteristics of a pure Otsutsuki, even purer than the Byakugan human from before.

"How is that possible?"

Cixian rubbed his eyes and examined the document again, but the result remained the same, filling him with a profound sense of absurdity.

Compared to his own crippled state, Uchiha Gin was more like a true Otsutsuki.

Could it be that before him, there were other Otsutsuki predecessors who came to this planet and have been lying dormant until now?

"Wait, that mark?"

Just as Jigen was racking his brains trying to figure it out, his gaze was suddenly drawn to the dark purple diamond-shaped mark on Uchiha Gin's forehead.

After a brief moment of surprise, he frowned, his eyes fixed intently on the mark.

This shape, this rich aura of chakra.

"That's a wedge?!"

Cixian suddenly realized, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes.

"No wonder, it turns out to be a 'vessel'."

"That woman also had them on her head, but the color was a bit lighter, so they must have been discarded."

Seeing Uchiha Hikaru brutally beating up number three, Jigen became even more certain of his guess.

Uchiha Gin, this human who looks even more like an Otsutsuki than him, is definitely a qualified "vessel."

The reason he is so strong is that he has inherited most of the legacy left by the Otsutsuki who carved the wedge.

"Heh, they actually engraved it in such an obvious place."

Jigen, who thought he knew the truth, looked at Uchiha Gin with a faint hatred in his eyes.

"Kaguya, you really don't shy away from these things."

Besides him, the only other Otsutsuki remaining on this planet is Kaguya, who was betrayed by humans.

So there's only one truth!

Uchiha Gin is Kaguya's reincarnation!

"Hehehe, I've been looking for you for ages."

Watching Uchiha Gin locked in combat with Number One, Jigen revealed a sinister smile. Now that he had found the reincarnation of his enemy, how could he let him go so easily?

"But it really came at the right time."

The appearance of Uchiha Gin opened up another path for Jigen's evolution. Originally, he only had two plans, A and B, but now he had an alternative plan, C.

"What are Number One and the others still doing? They should hurry up and end the fight."

This unexpected windfall filled Cixian with joy, but as he watched the three experimental subjects locked in fierce combat, a hint of displeasure crept into his eyes.

"Bang!"

The latest novel is first published here!

On the battlefield, two fists the size of cooking pots collided, the resulting shockwave dispersing the dust around them and revealing Number One and Uchiha Gin, who were shrouded in yellow sand.

That's about it, time to harvest the crops!

"Ah~"

Uchiha Gin glanced down at Number One, whose face was tense, then his eyes darted around before he screamed and was sent flying backward.

Number One, who was putting in a fierce battle with Uchiha Gin, stared blankly at his suddenly defeated opponent, looking at his own fist in disbelief.

Was the apparent evenly matched strength just an illusion?

"Thump!"

After rolling around awkwardly on the soft sand, Uchiha Gin finally stopped at the corner of the Earth Flow Wall.

"Hmm"

He struggled to his feet, leaning against the rubble. His lips, which had been rosy and full just moments before, had turned deathly pale, and he was barely breathing.

"As expected of the clone from Hashirama's prison, not only is your superhuman strength unparalleled, but the force you unleash is both soft and powerful. I, Uchiha Gin, hereby declare you the strongest in superhuman strength!"

"Host failed, gained 40 Chi Energy."

"ha?"

Uchiha Gin's superb acting skills not only successfully fooled the naive clone number one, but also deceived his two teammates.

"Gin!"

Hikari, who had been constantly thinking about Uchiha Gin, felt a surge of anger upon seeing her beloved's weakened state. With a swift punch, she sent the number three fighter she was entangled with flying more than ten meters away.

"I'll help you!"

As she spoke, she was about to leap into the air, making a heroic entrance.

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees"

Taking advantage of Uchiha Hikaru's momentary opening, Number Three immediately used Wood Release, intending to control the girl and launch a counterattack.

"Annoying thing."

Looking at the thick wooden branch sprouting from the ground beneath his feet, Xiao Guang gritted his teeth in anger. As his emotions surged, a sudden red glint flashed in his eyes.

"Susanoo!"

"Snap!"

A cherry-red woodcutter's knife appeared out of nowhere and swung down, cutting down all the wood branches that had sprung up from the ground.

Looking at the girl again, she was already enveloped by a cherry-red half-body demon god, and the endless stream of wooden branches could not break through Susanoo's invincible defense.

However, this still caused Uchiha Hikaru to miss the best opportunity to rescue his beloved.

Beside her, Tsukihime Otsutsuki, harboring the same thoughts, raised her hand and unleashed a barrage of chakra orbs. The green light orbs, falling like raindrops, instantly enveloped Number Four, accompanied by a series of crackling explosions.

"Hmph! I won this time."

Byakugan glanced at Uchiha Hikaru, who was being held back by the Advent of the World of Trees, and a victorious smile appeared on Tsukihime's lips.

She's off to rescue the hero!

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

However, before Tsukihime could turn around, a huge wooden Arhat figure stood up, topped with a drizzling ball of chakra light. Number Four hid in the wooden figure's broad palms, clasped his hands together, and stared intently at her.

Once the rain of chakra orbs ended, Number Four leaped onto the wooden dummy's head and manipulated its giant hand to slam down.

"boom!"

Compared to the towering wooden figure, Tsukihime appeared extremely small. Seeing the enormous hand about to strike her head, she quickly retreated several steps to dodge.

After landing in a sorry state, Yue Ji's white eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness. She clasped her fair hands together and began to remotely contact the ultimate weapon in her hometown.

However, Number Four didn't give her a chance to cast her spell. The wooden figure in the distance raised its hand and unleashed two wooden dragons, which attacked Tsukihime, who was focused on communicating.

"Tsk!"

Interrupted, Tsukihime Ōtsutsuki had no choice but to dodge again with a teleportation technique, causing the wooden dragon's attack to miss.

"hateful!"

Although she was able to quickly enter Tenseigan mode with Uchiha Gin's unknowing help, it still took at least ten seconds of calm communication.

However, the wooden dragon in mid-air suddenly turned around and lunged at Tsukihime, who hadn't yet landed.

Faced with the menacing dragon head, she frowned slightly, suppressing her initial disdain, and a serious look appeared in her eyes.

This human is indeed not weak; at least on par with her.

"boom!"

Just then, a towering, cherry-red figure appeared before Tsukihime Otsutsuki, wielding a massive woodcutter's axe, severing the two dragon heads beneath its blade.

"Thump!"

As the ferocious dragon head landed, Tsukihime Otsutsuki stared in astonishment at the Gundam's pilot, her eyes filled with bewilderment.

"How pathetic, you eye-rolling woman."

Having easily broken free from the confinement of the Sea of ​​Trees after raising Susanoo to its complete form, Uchiha Hikaru, seeing Tsukihime trapped, did not hesitate and immediately flew to her rescue in her Gundam.

"Hmph! Mind your own business, I can handle it myself."

Ōtsutsuki Tsukihime snorted coldly and turned her head away, but a strange meaning appeared in her white eyes.

Looking at Tsukihime's haughty expression, Uchiha Hikaru's lips curled up slightly. What a two-faced woman! She's so interesting when she's naked.

"Anyway, I saved you this time, so remember to treat me to a hot spring when we get back~"
