Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

Chapter 31: The Senju Kid Can’t Be That Cute

After a comfortable bath, Uchiha Ginjin wrapped himself in a bath towel and looked at Senju Itama who was shy at the bathroom door. He said,

"Little guy, do you want me to rub your back? I'm famous for my skills."

"do not want!"

Uchiha Gin, who was pushed out, shook his head.
"What a shy little brat. You are a grown man, why are you hiding so much?"

About an hour later, Senju Itama, who had wrapped himself tightly, poked his head out and saw Uchiha Ginko still sitting in the living room. His face tensed.
"Finally you came out. Why did it take you so long to take a bath? I almost fell asleep."

Yawning, Uchiha Gin stood up, holding the bottle of hair dye in his hand.

"Don't come over here yet!"

Senju Itama held the door tightly with both hands to prevent the other party from coming in. Uchiha Gin, who had a hint of evil taste in his mouth, held the bathroom door with a smile and said in a teasing tone,

"Are you doing anything bad? You should take care of yourself at such a young age."

As Uchiha Gin's strength increased, the bathroom door was pushed open in an instant, and the naked Senju Itama flew out. Before he could see the details, the other party had already covered his key parts with both hands, looking at him with a blushing face.
"You're not wearing anything, so what? When I was your age, I was running around the streets naked."

Looking at Senju Itama's naked body, Uchiha Gin said jokingly.

"shameless!"

Senju Itama, whose whole body was red like a sauna, shouted at the top of his voice.

"Okay, okay, I'll put the hair dye here for you."

Seeing that the little brat was getting a little anxious, Uchiha Gin didn't continue teasing him. He put down the hair dye in his hand and left.

"I didn't realize that you, a little kid, can have such fair skin."

Before leaving, Uchiha Gin turned his head and said something, and in return the other party threw shampoo at him, and he dodged it with a smile.

After going out and walking around to the back wall, Uchiha Gin started to reinforce the fence again. The "backyard" of several square meters was officially established. This would be where he would hone his skills in the future.

After dealing with the matters in the backyard, seeing that it was getting dark, Uchiha Gin returned to the house and waited until midnight to come back.

Inside the room, Senju Itama had already put on his clothes, and his black and white hair had been dyed the same color, which made Uchiha Gin nod his head repeatedly. After liking the hair color, the little boy also looked handsome.

"No one should notice you this way."

Perhaps he was angry about Uchiha Gin's previous behavior, Senju Itama turned his head angrily without saying a word.

"What a boring brat."

Uchiha Gin, who was not interested in this, did not care. He gave a few instructions and fell asleep on the sofa.

Senju Itama on the side looked at the curly-haired Uchiha with his back to him with a complicated expression. No one knew what he was thinking about. Finally, he got up silently and went back to the bedroom to rest.

In the second half of the night, Uchiha Gin, who was originally asleep, opened his eyes again. After confirming that the people in the bedroom were asleep, he tiptoed to the backyard and stood in the open space waiting for the refresh to come.

Tonight the moon is covered by dark clouds again. Uchiha Gin's residence is far away from the gathering place. There are only cliffs and forests around it. One can only reach the Uchiha clan's living area by passing through the forest.

The breeze blew through the forest, making rustling sounds. Uchiha Gin, who was tense all over, suddenly felt the air around him condense, and a familiar feeling came to his heart.

"Ding-ling~" A slight bell sound was heard amid the rustling of leaves. With his extraordinary senses, Uchiha Gin locked the direction at the first moment.

A figure wearing a bamboo hat with a black background and red clouds slowly emerged from the void. The right hand with black nail polish slightly raised the bamboo hat, and a pair of scarlet eyes looked at him without any emotion.

It's Uchiha Itachi again!

Uchiha Gin, who had suffered losses twice, reacted immediately. He opened his Sharingan with both eyes, and the magatama in his right eye began to spin rapidly. The chakra in his body also poured into it like crazy.

【Amaterasu】

Taking the initiative, black flames appeared out of nowhere on Uchiha Gin's chest, which was a significant improvement over the lighter-sized black flames last time.

In the previous few times, he was just passively taking the beating, but this time, Uchiha Gin took the initiative and wanted to see what would happen if he could injure or even defeat the NPC that released the skill.

Ignoring the raging black flames on his chest, the refreshed Uchiha Itachi calmly took off his bamboo hat, and his eyes turned into two shuriken-shaped Mangekyō Sharingan. The next moment, the Amaterasu, which was getting more and more intense, seemed to have gone silent. With the appearance of Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō, the flames gradually extinguished as if they were drenched by heavy rain.

Before he could be surprised, Uchiha Gin quickly looked away and didn't look at him.

Looking down at the ground, Uchiha Gin saw that the originally green grass had turned into a transparent lake without him noticing. The lake reflected his own appearance. In the sky in the mirror, a blood-red full moon was firmly hanging.

When seeing this scene, Uchiha Gin secretly cried out that it was not good, he had been hit.

【Illusion: Moon Reading】

As he was hung on the cross uncontrollably, Uchiha Gin knew that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

He sighed, and seeing Uchiha Itachi surrounded him again, his mentality collapsed.
"Come, come, don't pity me just because I'm a delicate flower!"

The next second, the dense sound of knives and chopping boards resounded throughout the illusion space.

Uchiha Gin, who had been in the illusion space for 72 hours, was finally freed when the countdown reached zero.

As the illusion space shattered, the surroundings returned to their familiar appearance and Uchiha Itachi's figure disappeared without a trace.

72 hours of torture passed in Tsukuyomi, but only a moment passed outside. Uchiha Gin, lying on the ground, had a splitting headache, and his Sharingan went into hibernation due to excessive stimulation.

After two Tsukuyomi, Uchiha Gin discovered that every time he was hit by Tsukuyomi, the power of his left eye would increase a little, and his control over the Sharingan became more mature.

"The backyard refreshes a random skill [Illusion·Tsukuyomi] every day, and obtains Tsukuyomi fragments*4"

[Tsukuyomi Fragments (5/40), collect 40 pieces to synthesize the illusion Tsukuyomi, and the skill Mangekyō Sharingan can be learned]

Uchiha Gin was shocked to see the system prompt. He actually got 4 pieces of Tsukuyomi fragments this time.
"Is it simply good luck, or is the reward calculated based on the battle evaluation?" Uchiha Gin guessed in his heart.

As the system prompted, Uchiha Gin's fatigue was swept away, and his brain, which was traumatized by Tsukuyomi, gradually became clear.

The right eye that had just been bleeding due to the release of Amaterasu also recovered as before, and all the negative buffs of the body were cleared by the system with one click.

He easily got up, felt the condition of his body and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal. Then Uchiha Gin quietly returned to the house, lay on the sofa and fell asleep quietly.

Uchiha Gin, who hadn't dreamed for a long time, once again dreamed of several strange fragments.

In the dark ward, the young man was lying on the bed, his eyes were bandaged and his expression was numb, like a puppet being manipulated at will. A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties was stroking his head, as if saying something.

Uchiha Gin could only watch from afar and hear nothing.

The middle-aged man looked at the boy with a complicated expression. At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and a young girl came in. She was a little younger than the boy. After seeing the boy, she seemed very excited. She lowered her head and cried beside the boy's bed.

When he wanted to continue reading, his entire consciousness was pushed out by a pair of ruthless hands.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.

Scratching his head and recalling the strange dream he had last night, Uchiha Gin finished washing up and started his career as a corporate slave in the ninja world.

He left some money for Senju Itama, whose hair had already been dyed black, so that he could solve his own food and clothing problems.

With his dyed hair, he was not noticeable at all among the Uchiha group, so there was no need to worry about his safety.

"Don't run around. If you run, I will catch your brother." Uchiha Gin did not forget to give the little brat some cold comfort.

"I know, I know."

Senju Itama looked speechlessly at the curly-haired Uchiha who tried to threaten him. He had already thought it through and he was not stupid. Was there any point in lying to him with that kind of reason?

"What do you mean by that idiotic look on your face?"

Feeling looked down upon, Uchiha Gin made a "＃" on his forehead and stretched out his angry hand, ready to give the brat a righteous slap, but Senju Itama, who was seen through, easily dodged it.

Looking at Senju Itama who was making faces at him, Uchiha Gin narrowed his dead fish eyes.

The more he looked at the kid, the more he felt that he was a little different, but he couldn't tell exactly where.
