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

About ten minutes later, a smiling curly-haired man emerged from the dark rainforest, followed by a disgruntled Senju Hisajin.

Kinkaku, on whom Onoki had placed high hopes, now wore a daisy-like smile on his fleshy face. He had lost his previous tyranny and gained the kind and gentle look that was appropriate for his age.

"What's going on? Is Golden Horn under an illusion?"

Onoki stared grimly at Kinkaku, who had led Uchiha Gin to Ginkaku's side, his eyes flashing with an unfathomable light.

"Teacher, why do I have this feeling that the Third Raikage and that curly-haired guy are old acquaintances?"

As the saying goes, "Those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see clearly." After carefully observing the familiar micro-expressions between Uchiha Gin and Kinkaku, Komurasaki cautiously nudged Onoki beside her.

"An old acquaintance?"

Upon hearing this, Onoki's already furrowed brows deepened even further. The two tailed beasts, the only ones on their side who knew the truth, exchanged a silent glance and then chose to remain silent.

Who is Uchiha Gin?

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, all the tailed beasts knew very well that this human was definitely backed by the old man and was undoubtedly the human representative of the Sage of Six Paths. They should avoid provoking him and try to act like the Three-Tails, or keep quiet and not make a fuss.

On the other side, Ginkaku, tormented by the strange chakra emanating from his chest, was barely recognizable as a human. Seeing someone approaching, he weakly raised his head, and upon recognizing the person, a glimmer of hope instantly shone in his desolate eyes.

"silver"

"Okay, don't say anything, let me check for you."

Gin raised his hand to stop Ginkaku, who was about to rise and bow, and his gaze fell on the dark red chakra on Ginkaku's chest, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

It seems the new driver has produced something extraordinary.

Just as Uchiha Gin was examining Ginkaku's injuries, Hanzo, who was not far away, looked increasingly puzzled. Was this really the standard a Konoha genin should have?

"Golden Horn trusts that Konoha curly-haired guy so much, just who is he?"

"Yin San. He is the best medical ninja in our Konoha."

"Um?"

Turning to look at Danzo leading the Root army, Hanzo's face remained expressionless, but anyone could sense the curiosity in his electronic eyes.

Medical ninja?

No wonder he could silence the enraged Kinkaku; he was a renowned medical ninja in Konoha. Now that makes sense.

Hanzo nodded thoughtfully. Between killing his enemy and saving his brother, anyone would choose the latter.

"What's Grandpa Gin doing here?"

"Hmm?" *2

As Xiu's questioning voice rang out, Hanzo and Danzo turned their heads in unison.

"You know him too?"

"Of course, Grandpa Yin is a good friend of Grandpa Ergen."

"Second generation...you mean the Second Kazekage?"

Hanzo felt like his CPU was about to burn out. Not far away, Uchiha Gin looked to be only around thirty years old. How could he be friends with a legendary ninja like the Second Kazekage? Could it be a friendship despite the age difference?

"That's right, they knew each other back in the Warring States period."

Xiu nodded earnestly, and as he spoke, he waved vigorously at Uchiha Gin in the distance.

"Wait, is the Warring States period you're talking about the one we know?"

Hanzo stood there stunned for a long while, until the smoke on his head had mostly cleared, before slowly asking,

"Besides the Warring States period, which lasted for several decades, what other Warring States period could there be?"

"Lord Danzo, shouldn't we be allies?"

Stunned by this unbelievable information, Hanzo twisted his stiff, hydraulically operated neck and looked at Danzo beside him.

The group had forged a strong friendship during the recent battle, so they shouldn't be hiding anything from each other now.

"Gin Uchiha Gin was indeed an Uchiha ninja who was active during the Warring States period."

Guessing what Hanzo was about to ask, Danzo hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"And his age?"

"I reckon he must be over eighty years old this year, right?"

"ha?"

"Could he be a cyborg too?"

Aside from undergoing physical modifications, Hanzo couldn't think of any other way to achieve eternal youth.

"No, that's not it. You know about the Yin Sealing Technique, right? He developed it."

"Ha! Isn't that something only female ninjas and eunuchs can practice?"

While the Konoha Yin Sealing Technique isn't universally known, it was quite popular several decades ago.

Because of its special beauty and skin-nourishing effects, it was highly favored by female ninjas, helping the newly established Konoha to attract many female-dominated small ninja clans to join.

However, due to its extremely demanding training conditions and entry requirements, it lost its popularity within a few years.

"So he was the only man who succeeded in mastering it."

Danzo scratched his face. To be honest, the F6 had all secretly opened the Book of Seals to try and learn this magical secret technique, but they quickly gave up.

This technique is so difficult that even Koharu Utatane, who is proficient in medical ninjutsu, has not yet mastered it.

"An eighty-year-old ninja who was active during the Warring States period. I understand!"

After analyzing all this information, Hanzo came to a startling conclusion: he seemed to know why Kinkaku had stopped because of Uchiha Gin.

"Does the Third Raikage also know him?"

"I don't know about that. But he did have interactions with the First Raikage and the Second Raikage."

Danzo, recalling his embarrassing childhood mistake of carelessly eating a cow's testicle, replied with an unnatural expression.

"That makes sense. The Silver and Gold Brothers are disciples of the Second Raikage, so it's reasonable for them to know him."

Hanzo nodded, glancing at the hydrangea behind him out of the corner of his eye, and deliberately probed, "

"He must be a powerful Jonin, right?"

"Then you're really wrong. He's still just a Konoha genin. It's said that the secret technique he developed back then wasn't mature enough. Although he mastered the Yin Seal, it also caused his strength to stagnate."

The information Danzo provided wasn't exactly a secret in Konoha; it could be easily gleaned from a few conversations with the older residents, so he didn't hide anything.

"Is he really a genin?"

"That's definitely not the case. In terms of strength, even if he's not quite a Jonin, he's at least at the level of an elite Chunin. But because he's busy with his main job, he's never considered getting promoted."

"You mean your main profession, a medical ninja?"

"No, it's a jailer."

"ha?"

the other side,

Unaware that Danzo and the others were messing with him, Uchiha Gin was carefully touching the dark red chakra on Ginkaku's chest with a black scalpel.

"Pfft!"

As the Heavenly Swamp Spear, capable of annihilating all chakra, swept past, that chakra instantly weakened and visibly shrank.

"How is it, Mr. Gin? Gin-kaku, he..."

Upon seeing this, Golden Horn immediately showed a look of joy on his face.

"It's not a big problem."

Uchiha Gin silently sheathed his scalpel, his deadpan eyes filled with realization.

After a series of detailed tests, he finally figured out the origin of this chakra.

This unknown chakra is essentially the life energy of the Nine-Tails' burning origin, combined with the chakra of Senju Hisama, forming an energy with extremely corrosive properties.

It can destroy all living organisms at the molecular level; it's no exaggeration to call it a force similar to radiation.

"White Hair, you'd better get a full physical exam when you get back, just in case you develop any bedwetting problems."

Looking back at the curious Senju Hisana, Uchiha Gin kindly offered a reminder.

"roll!"

Senju Hishima barely suppressed the urge to kill Uchiha Gin with a single strike. She glanced at him and the respectfully standing Kinkaku beside him, her expression visibly darkening.

She touched her bulging pockets, where the strawberry-patterned underwear she had promised to wash for Uchiha Gintoki was located.

She'd been tricked!

She was being toyed with like a stinky dog ​​by this wretched curly-haired man!

Perhaps due to the aftereffects of her soul being split, Senju Hisa's memories are always fragmented, which has led her to forget some memories from long ago, especially those from before the founding of Konoha.

How could the Gin and Kin brothers, who were born into the Hagoromo clan, harm Uchiha Gin, who once risked his life to save their clan's orphan?

Moreover, she was a first-person witness back then; Uchiha Gin was truly willing to stab himself twice to save others.

Just like saving myself now.

Senju Hisana's slightly dazed gaze fell on Uchiha Gin's retreating figure, and a strange, inexplicable flutter suddenly stirred within her.

But the next moment, as if she remembered something, her eyes instantly cleared.

wrong!

This curly-haired guy clearly knew that Golden Horn wouldn't hurt him, yet he tricked him into washing his underwear. He's utterly wicked!

"As expected of that inherently evil old man, the Uchiha!"

"What are you muttering about? Come and lend a hand."

Feeling the alternating hot and cold sensations on his back, Uchiha Gin blinked in confusion. Looking at the strange chakra on Ginkaku's chest, which had shrunk to a small flame, he raised his hand and called out.

"I'll help."

Jinjiao was not comfortable entrusting his younger brother's safety to the daughter of his enemy.

"You're not as professional as her."

Uchiha Gin shook his head and began rummaging through the bag behind him.

Senju Hisa was taken aback at first, a look of refusal appearing on her face, but her body language betrayed her.

"What do you need me to do?"

"The Four Symbols Sealing Assembly, right?"

"That's the Uzumaki clan, after all."

"Stop pretending, I know you too well."

Seeing Senju Hishima's evasive gaze, Uchiha Gin curled his lip.

Back when the Senju and Uzumaki clans were still in a state of ambiguity, how could this white-haired fellow, with his cunning, not take the opportunity to secretly steal some things?

"I know a little bit~ I know a little bit~"

Feeling a little embarrassed by Uchiha Gin's teasing gaze, Senju Hisami nodded with an awkward smile.

"Alright, I'll guide this energy out later, and you can seal it into this card while you're at it."

As they spoke, Uchiha Gin took a blank card out of his bag and handed it to Senju Hisa, who was squatting beside him.

I will try my best.

After giving his instructions, a deep blue light emanated from Uchiha Gin's right hand. He gently touched the small, dark red flame with a single finger, and the strange power attached to Gin's life essence trembled violently before being pulled up by the blue chakra.

"quick!"

Uchiha Gin shouted, and Senju Hisama immediately placed the blank card on the ground, began to move her ten fingers, and in the blink of an eye, countless tadpole-like incantations spread out from the center of the card.

"The Four Symbols Sealing Technique!"

With a sharp shout, Uchiha Gin pulled sharply, and the dark red flames were detached from Ginkaku's body, precisely landing within the seal that Senju Hisama had prepared beforehand.

"seal up!"

The runes on the ground surged up, engulfing the flames, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the card.

"call"

After finishing all this, Senju Hisa wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and a hint of smugness appeared in her eyes as she looked at the card on the ground that was flashing with dark red light.

"Cough cough cough"

A strange energy left his body, and Silver Horn's pale face gradually regained some color. His blurred consciousness also gradually cleared. Seeing his younger brother coughing up a mouthful of black blood, Golden Horn frantically picked him up.

"Silver Horn!"

"It's okay, just give him this to drink, 5 liters at a time."

Seeing this, Uchiha Gin pulled out a bottle of Glowing Elixir. Gin was only a little weak; drinking 5 milliliters would make him energetic again.

"Quick! Open your mouth!"

Unfortunately, before Uchiha Gin could finish speaking, Kinkaku forcibly pried open his brother's mouth and poured an entire 500ml bottle of Glowing Potion 2.0 into his stomach.

ton ton ton~

"Well"

Watching Gintoki's face change from white to red, then to purple, and finally to black, Uchiha Gin scratched his head.

"Mr. Yin, what happened? Has Yin Jiao's injury not healed yet?"

Seeing that his younger brother's face was as dazed as the lights in the foot massage parlor, Jin Jiao quickly looked up and asked,

"Him? He's doing great now! But if you don't calm down soon, your brother might not have a brother in the future."

Uchiha Gin shook his head with a complicated expression, subtly pointing with his eyes to a certain erect part of Ginkaku's body, a clear reminder to the equally flustered Kinkaku.

"ha?"

Upon discovering this, Jin Jiao was initially taken aback, then hoisted his stiff younger brother onto his shoulder, hoping there were still technicians who hadn't started their shifts yet.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Yin, for saving my life!"

After sincerely thanking Uchiha Gin, Kinkaku turned to Senju Hisami, fiddled with the "junior brother" blocking his way, and spoke in a cryptic tone.

"And you, you little white-haired girl."

"Whoosh—!"

Having said that, before Senju Hisama could respond, Kinkaku, his body crackling with lightning, disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Curly Hair, I remember you also know the Four Symbols Sealing Technique, right?"

Turning her gaze away from the disappearing lightning on the horizon, Senju Hisa seemed to have realized something. She looked at Uchiha Gin, who was clapping his hands and getting up beside her, with a complex expression.

"If you're given a chance, you should seize it."

Uchiha Gin glanced at Senju Hisama, a lazy smile playing on his lips.

In truth, Gin-kaku could have easily treated his injuries alone. The reason he had Senju Hisajin take on what seemed to be the most crucial task was simply to make the Gin-kaku brothers owe her a favor.

This favor can just offset the old grudges.

Senju Hisama gave Uchiha Gin a deep look, clenched her fist, and whispered a promise.

"I'll wash your underwear and return it to you."

"Just don't wash it to pieces, it's the only strawberry underwear I have left."

"Damn it, he just left like that. What happened to the cooperation? What happened to the alliance? The people in the black jail are all corrupt officials."

The departure of the Silver Brothers has elicited mixed reactions. Onoki, who was seething with hatred and about to launch into another tirade, keenly sensed the cooling atmosphere around him.

"Stop yelling, teacher. Shall we leave?"

Xiao Zi swallowed hard, looked at the Amegakure and Konoha ninja eyeing her menacingly, and suggested with a bitter expression,

Without the Silver and Gold Brothers, the three of them would probably be beaten to a pulp by everyone present.

"Damn it! Please, everyone, give me some face!"

Just as Onoki was caught in a dilemma, Kakuzu, sensing a business opportunity, stepped out from the crowd first, clutching a pre-prepared standard contract in his hand.

"Gentlemen, would you like a body transport service? Payment in advance, please." (End of Chapter)
