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

Chapter 529 Mito Uzumaki's Knight Dream Returns

"It's that godforsaken place again."

Even within the eerie and unpredictable Tsukuyomi space, Mito Uzumaki, arms crossed, showed no fear. Her calm and composed expression suggested she was a regular visitor to this place.

"Can't you come up with something new, a washboard?"

As she spoke, she deliberately puffed out her chest, the ripples of which made Uchiha Hikaru across from her grit her teeth in frustration.

"Shut up! This is the standard golden ratio body shape!"

The girl, choked quite badly, let out a angry shout and subconsciously lowered her head. Her gaze fell on her own breasts, which were fairly full but far inferior to Mito Uzumaki's, and a stubborn envy flashed in her scarlet eyes.

Damn it! Da Lei deserves to die!

I want to create a world without thunderbolts!

"I don't know if it's standard or not, but Gintoki really likes it~"

Seeing the furious Uchiha Hikaru, Mito Uzumaki, who had gained the upper hand, smiled arrogantly. With a flick of her beautiful eyes, she announced someone's freakish preferences to the world.

"Nonsense! Ah Yin clearly said that small ones are also cute!"

"And then what? Cuteness is useless in the face of sexiness, and when it comes to inclusiveness, you're far from it!"

Mito Uzumaki shook her head dismissively, a mocking smile playing on her full red lips. This completely shattered Hikaru Uchiha's resolve; one of the girl's eyes was instantly shrouded in darkness, and the aura emanating from her became extremely violent.

"Idiot, why are you talking so much to this girl with the red bun? Let her taste our treasure!"

A voice, completely different in tone from Uchiha Hikari's, rang out from her mouth; Uchiha Darkness, who had been dormant within the girl and coexisting with her, had come online.

Unable to bear watching Uchiha Hikaru's pathetic remarks any longer, she decided to get revenge and show the arrogant Uzumaki Mito that they were not to be trifled with!

"Hmph, I'll see if your words are tougher, or my ** is tougher!"

Seeing his helper arrive, Uchiha Hikaru felt much more at ease. He temporarily suppressed his resentment and instead gave the order to his clones who were waiting for commands to begin their training.

"Buzzing"

In an instant, the entire Tsukuyomi space was enveloped in the eerie vibrations of electronic devices. Every Uchiha Hikaru wore a cruel smile, brandishing their buzzing anti-female Noble Phantasms, and relentlessly approached the lone Uzumaki Mito.

"Hehehe, let's see just how high your water-style attacks can go."

"Hmph! Want to know? Go ask Gintoki!"

Faced with the overwhelming wave of massage therapists rushing towards her, Mito Uzumaki slowly lowered her hands that had been supporting her breasts.

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Hikaru's smile widened.

"There's no point in saying more. We'll treat you well for the next 72 hours."

Mito Uzumaki raised an eyebrow with interest. Using her extraordinary senses, she quickly located the main body among the large group of Uchiha Hikaru.

"Looks like you've got me cornered?"

"I dare not stop for a moment in order to completely defeat you."

Since her debut, Uchiha Hikaru has only suffered at the hands of two people, and these two are considered her lifelong enemies. Uzumaki Mito, standing before her, is one of them.

As for the other one, it's far away on the moon.

You're asking about Senju Itama?

It's just a roadside stall.

"What a coincidence, me too."

Upon hearing this, Mito Uzumaki revealed a cruel smile on her alluring face.

The next second, a tangible, deep blue chakra shot into the sky, transforming into a blue beam of light that crashed directly into the red moon hanging high in the Tsukuyomi space.

"Boom—"

As we all know, those who are under the influence of Tsukuyomi are essentially at the mercy of others. However, Tsukuyomi is ultimately just an illusion, and as such, it naturally has its own conventional ways of breaking free.

Among these methods, using chakra to interfere is the most direct and effective way to break the chain.

However, as a Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique, Tsukuyomi is considered a top-tier genjutsu. Ordinary chakra levels cannot shake it in the slightest. Only chakra levels exceeding those of tailed beasts can possibly break through Tsukuyomi.

"Boom!"

Under the influence of Mito Uzumaki's chakra, Hikaru Uchiha's Tsukuyomi space began to become unstable, and a spreading blue tinge appeared in the blood-red sky.

"The Yin Seal is still intact, where did you get so much chakra?"

Sensing the Tsukuyomi space gradually collapsing, Uchiha Hikaru, wielding two Noble Phantasms aimed at women, was utterly speechless.

If it were said that Mito Uzumaki forcibly broke through her genjutsu using the chakra stored in the Yin Seal, Hikaru Uchiha could barely accept it, since she was already used to this kind of thing.

However, the Yin seal on Mito Uzumaki's forehead is now clearly visible, indicating that she was able to make her Tsukuyomi space teeter on the brink of collapse simply by using the chakra within her body.

"You're not the only one making progress."

Enveloped in dense chakra, Mito Uzumaki smiled and, to the bewilderment of Hikaru Uchiha, slowly drew a golden staff shaped like wings from behind her. The blue gem floating at the top of the staff exuded a mysterious aura that drew attention.

[Archangel's Staff: Increases damage by 10% and chakra by 15%. When equipped, the wearer gains 2% of their base chakra every five days, stacking infinitely.]

"I'll eat a lemon!"

Upon seeing the staff, Uchiha Hikari immediately guessed its origin, which infuriated her so much that she blurted out a Konoha slang term.

Of course, this was Xiao An's cursing.

"Relying on equipment, what kind of skill is that?"

"Equipment is also part of strength; aren't you wearing it too?"

Holding the Archangel's Staff, Mito Uzumaki raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on the blue teardrop-shaped pendant worn by Hikaru Uchiha.

cnm, how can Blue Buff compare to an archangel with countless layers of angels?

"Phew, I've lost this time, but next time, I'll definitely get my revenge."

Under the unfathomable chakra assault of Mito Uzumaki, the collapse of the Tsukuyomi space was only a matter of time. Uchiha Hikaru took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and dispersed the surrounding clones who were on high alert.

"I'm always ready, but don't embarrass yourself by using such a low-level eye technique next time."

Seeing this, Mito Uzumaki also stopped releasing her chakra, put away her golden staff, and didn't forget to scoff before doing so.

The two of them aren't mortal enemies; a friendly spar is fine, but there's no need for a real fight. That would only make things difficult for Uchiha Gin outside.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down."

Uchiha Hikaru coldly cut off the supply of ocular power, and the Tsukuyomi space collapsed instantly.

As the saying goes, three days in the Moon Reading are equivalent to one second in the outside world.

The long battle between the two women within the Tsukuyomi appeared to outsiders to be but a fleeting moment. Uchiha Gin didn't even have time to enter the Tsukuyomi space to intervene before Uzumaki Mito, who was clinging to him, snapped back to reality.

"Are you two alright?"

Forgetting all about enjoying the wonderfully bouncy texture, Uchiha Gin anxiously inquired about the two who were gradually returning to reality.

"Ugh, I'm feeling dizzy. I need a kiss to stand up."

Upon hearing this, the once energetic Mito Uzumaki immediately collapsed, panting heavily, onto Gin Uchiha's back. Her breath was ragged, and her voice was filled with extreme weakness, as if she were about to pass away at any moment.

"."

No, your aura is now even stronger than that of a tailed beast.

"You filthy sea woman, get out of my way!"

Uchiha Hikari originally wanted to perform like Uzumaki Mito, but she was clearly a step too late and could only watch helplessly as the other pouted her lips for a kiss.

"Alright, there are so many people watching~"

Just before her full, red lips were about to touch her face, Uchiha Gin, who had already seen through everything, raised his hand and blocked Uzumaki Mito's attack on her small mouth.

Ignoring the annoyed look in her eyes, he reached out and gently patted her bun, asking in a puzzled voice,

"I remember you were busy with the Chamber of Commerce and the school, what brings you here to see me today?"

Uchiha Gin was well aware of what Mito Uzumaki had been doing in Konoha. Knowing that Mito was now the Daimyo and very busy, he didn't bother him too much, at most exchanging techniques every few days so that they could improve together.

"I have something I'd like to ask you, I wonder if Gintoki is free?"

As she spoke, Mito Uzumaki licked her lips, revealing a smile that could be easily misinterpreted, causing Uchiha Hikaru and Senju Itama to flash with menacing glints.

"Is this serious?"

Uchiha Gin hesitated for a moment,

"It's your decision."

Mito Uzumaki still had a radiant smile on her face.

In the end, Mito Uzumaki followed Gin Uchiha home, of course, as a guest.

bang-

"Drink up, and then hurry up and leave."

Having changed back into her loungewear, Senju Itama angrily slammed a cup of tea down in front of Uzumaki Mito.

"The Senju clan is so rude. It was definitely the right choice to break off the engagement."

Seeing the spilled tea, Mito Uzumaki wasn't angry. She didn't need to get worked up over a loser.

"How can this be repaired!"

"Alright, shut up. The post-meal exercise session is over."

Uchiha Gin looked helplessly at the flustered Senju Itama, reached out and patted her head to comfort her.

"snort!"

Under the soothing touch of warm hands, Senju Itama, whose face had been contorted with rage, quickly calmed down, letting out a cold snort with a sneer, though a barely perceptible blush appeared on her alabaster earlobes.

"Mito, what do you want to ask?"

Having skillfully dealt with Senju Itama, Uchiha Gin turned to the elegantly seated red-haired woman with a bun hairstyle and asked her a question.

"Gintoki, I've signed up."

"ha?"

Upon hearing the word "registration," Uchiha Gin paused, his mind momentarily blank.

"You wouldn't be."

A few seconds later, having figured it out, he wore a strange expression.

"That's right, I want to test the power of the Tailed Beast Riders!"

Mito Uzumaki chuckled and nodded, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and her beautiful eyebrows instantly furrowed. Her pink tongue darted out slightly, and a hint of annoyance crossed her face.

"As expected, the Senju clan is not only rude, but also petty."

Senju Itama, who perfectly inherited the flaws of his two older brothers, wholeheartedly agrees with this.

"Hmph! Not everyone can drink the tea I brew~"

Not far away, watching Mito Uzumaki's embarrassed expression, Itama Senju, who had secretly spiked the tea, wore a smug smile.

"Well done."

Uchiha Hikari, standing to the side, gave a thumbs-up, a rare instance of praise, revealing that she too harbored deep resentment towards Uzumaki Mito.

"Can foreigners also register?"

When Mito Uzumaki returned after rinsing her mouth, Gin Uchiha asked her about the details of the registration process. He remembered that the recruitment rules prepared by Xiao Tuantuan did not stipulate that foreigners could participate.

"I have my own methods."

Mito Uzumaki replied with a smile that the reason she was able to make an exception and register was entirely due to the power of capital.

No seats available; this is yet another victory for capital.

"Since you made the Tailed Beast Card, Gintoki, could you tell me some tips on how to tame it?"

Mito Uzumaki's purpose in visiting was to obtain details about capturing the Tailed Beast Cards from Gin Uchiha, a master of card drawing.

"Do you really want to be a Tailed Beast Rider?"

Uchiha Gin frowned, somewhat conflicted. He knew someone was secretly gathering the power of the Tailed Beast Riders, so he didn't want Uzumaki Mito to put herself in danger.

"If you really want to be a knight, I'll make you someone else. What's so great about that stinky fox? Not only does he have a foul mouth, but he's also a eunuch."

"If you don't want me to go, Gintoki, then I won't go."

Mito Uzumaki only signed up on a whim, and if Gin Uchiha insisted on not letting her go, she could give up at any time.

"It's not that I don't want you to go, I'm just a little worried about you."

Looking at the obedient Mito Uzumaki, Gin Uchiha, with a worried expression, gently shook his head.

"Is the process of taming the Tailed Beast Cards dangerous?"

Seeing the worry on Uchiha Gin's face, Uzumaki Mito felt a surge of joy, but at the same time, her curiosity about the Tailed Beast Cards only grew stronger.

"No, for you, it should be the easy mode."

Even Mito Uzumaki from the original timeline could easily handle the Nine-Tails, let alone this Mito in front of him whose stats were enhanced several times over. Even the Nine-Tails would shake its head in comparison.

"Is that so?"

Mito Uzumaki's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, but remembering Gin Uchiha's earlier words, a hint of regret crept onto her face.

"I think I'd better not go."

Looking at Mito Uzumaki's gloomy face, Gin Uchiha sighed inwardly. Since she wanted to experience being a Tailed Beast Rider, he would let her have it.

"It's okay, go ahead, just treat it as an experience."

"Can I really do it?"

Mito Uzumaki, who had been somewhat disappointed, immediately brightened up with excitement upon hearing Gin Uchiha's words.

"I remember the recruitment notice stipulated that those who successfully passed the recruitment test must sign a contract with Konoha and accept the village's control. If they do not sign, it will be considered as a waiver."

Since Xiao Tuantuan wasn't sure who would ultimately pass the test and successfully transform, she specifically noted down the post-test procedures in the recruitment notice, just in case the selected Tailed Beast Riders became unruly.

"Oh! So there's this one too!"

Mito Uzumaki was relieved. She knew she definitely wouldn't sign that contract of servitude; she could just refuse to sign it once she was done having her fun.

"Wait! Why isn't Konoha worried that those who pass the selection will use the power of the Tailed Beast Riders to rebel?"

As everyone knows, the Tailed Beast Riders are far more powerful than ordinary ninjas; one could easily wipe out a small country. With both of Konoha's most powerful figures currently absent, if the newly chosen Rider harbors ill intentions, it would bring irreparable harm to the village.

"Registration requires a background check; do you think everyone has the same credentials as you?"

In response to Mito Uzumaki's question, Gin Uchiha gave a very appropriate and reasonable explanation, but this clearly failed to convince our female daimyo.

"I've seen far too many cases of brothers turning against each other because of power; bonds are far too fragile in the face of absolute power."

"You're right, that's why there's a second layer of insurance."

Uchiha Gin didn't refute this, but instead mysteriously pulled out a hard object from behind his back.

"This is a speed limiter that a big bastard spent a lot of money to order from me. The driver is loaded with it, and the chakra transmission speed is as fast as X-Ray without a membership."
