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

Chapter 62 Same Beginning, Different Ending
"Kin Uchiha."

When Uchiha Gin asked this question, a gentle and warm figure appeared in Uchiha Fenghuo's mind.

He also has curly hair, narrow and long almond-shaped eyes, and always has a smiling expression, but the feeling he gives is completely different from Uchiha Gin in front of him.

"know."

Uchiha Fenghuo did not hide it either, because there was no need. People who were familiar with Uchiha Jin naturally knew the identity of Uchiha Gin.

"What kind of person is he?"

Uchiha Gin, who knew basically nothing about his father, couldn't help but ask.

"This is not the place to talk. Come with me somewhere else and we can talk slowly."

Sighing, Uchiha Fenghuo suppressed the inexplicable disgust in his heart and invited Uchiha Gin to find a place to talk.

Uchiha Gin naturally had no objection. He followed Uchiha Fenghuo to a tavern. After pushing the door open, he took Uchiha Gin into a small compartment with ease, ordered a bottle of wine, and closed the door of the compartment.

The two of them sat cross-legged, observing each other.

When the wine was served, Uchiha Fenghuo poured a glass for both of them, and then started drinking by himself.

"You and your father really look alike, especially in appearance. You are exactly the same."

After drinking a glass of wine, Uchiha Fenghuo's complexion warmed slightly and he stared at Uchiha Gin's face and spoke slowly.

"You know my father?"

Judging from Uchiha Fenghuo's tone, he must have a close relationship with his father.

"More than knowing each other, your father was once my captain and half of my teacher."

After drinking a glass of wine, Uchiha Fenghuo took a long breath and said with a nostalgic look,
"Brother Jin was the strongest genius at the time, bar none. He opened his eyes at the age of eight, and was proficient in using the three magatama at the age of twelve. He was also good at the five escape techniques and sealing techniques, and was able to complete various difficult tasks on his own. He made many outstanding achievements in the war."

Uchiha Fenghuo listed the various feats of Uchiha Jin in a long stream, and he was so excited when he spoke, but his face suddenly darkened.
"pity."

"What's a pity?"

Uchiha Gin, who was listening with great interest, asked hurriedly,
"It's a pity that he died young, otherwise it would be hard to say who would take over the position of clan leader."

Uchiha Fenghuo shook his head dejectedly and said with a look of regret.

Uh, my father almost became the clan leader? I heard Uchiha Yao bragging in the dungeon and thought he was just bragging, but I didn't expect he was really awesome.

"Can you tell me the details of this incident?"

Uchiha Gin, who was eager to find out the truth, couldn't help but ask curiously.

Regarding the details of Uchiha Jin's sacrifice, Uchiha Yao gave him an explanation. If Uchiha Fenghuo was acquainted with Uchiha Jin, would it be consistent with what Uchiha Yao said?

Outside the compartment, the sound of Uchiha clan members toasting each other was heard. It was a lively scene. Uchiha Fenghuo's calm face showed a rare nostalgia as he rubbed his wine glass with his fingers.
"I, your parents, and Chief Tajima were once teammates in a small team, and your father was our captain."

Uchiha Fenghuo shook the empty cup in his hand, signaling Uchiha Gin to pour the wine. After filling the cup of sake, he drank it without stopping, as if he was drinking to relieve his sorrow.

"It was our team's last mission. There were no problems with the preparations beforehand. In order to take care of me, who was less capable, your father assigned me to be a secret sentry. The mission was going very smoothly, but at the last moment, something unexpected happened."

Uchiha Fenghuo's voice was low and sad. When he said the word "accident", the hand holding the wine glass tensed up until the veins popped out. He looked extremely emotionally unstable, his eyes were bulging, and his usual calmness was gone.

"There's a traitor! Someone secretly leaked our mission route, and enemies several times our size ambushed us on the road we had to take. There were three teams on the mission with us, and they were all wiped out. Your father tried his best to lead the team members to break out."

"Were you there?"

Uchiha Gin couldn't help but ask as he listened to the same story told by Uchiha Yao.

"Of course I was there and witnessed your parents' sacrifice firsthand. I'm sorry, but there's really nothing I can do."

Uchiha Fenghuo's voice was choked with sobs at the end, and he continued with tears in his red tiger eyes.
"I am a coward. The captain ordered me to leave, but I just left. I am sorry for the captain's care for so long."

"Tell me more about it." Uchiha Gin asked after finding some differences in the details.
"What happened in the end?"

"Your parents fought hard with the unconscious chieftain of the Tajima clan, but they were unable to shake off the enemy. I also joined the battle as a secret sentry, but I was useless. I was not strong enough and could only become a burden."

Uchiha Fenghuo closed his eyes in pain, and the words he said seemed to have drained all his strength.

"At the last moment, your father ordered me to evacuate with the injured and unconscious chief Tiandao, while the couple stayed behind to cover our retreat."

"Chief Tajima has been unconscious?"

Thinking back to the story told by Uchiha Yao, this point is obviously very different from what the eyewitness Uchiha Fenghuo said.

"Yes, Chief Tiandao was seriously injured at the time, and he woke up after a few days of treatment."

"What were my parents' last words?"

Wanting to know if his parents said anything important before they died, Uchiha Gin asked.

"No, the situation was very urgent at the time and no one had time to say anything."

Uchiha Fenghuo shook his head and said with regret.

"Thank you, Captain Fenghuo, for telling me so much about my parents today."

Uchiha Gin straightened up and saluted Uchiha Fenghuo.

"I feel guilty about this. I watched your parents sacrifice their lives but was powerless to do anything. I should apologize to you."

After saying that, Uchiha Fenghuo knelt down and prepared to kowtow to Uchiha Gin.

"Captain Fenghuo, there is no need to do this. Since my parents have chosen this path, they are ready to sacrifice their lives at any time."

Uchiha Gin quickly reached out to support him, then said comfortingly.

After asking almost all the questions, Uchiha Gin stood up to say goodbye, while Uchiha Fenghuo continued to drink one cup after another alone.

Before leaving, Uchiha Gin, who was thinking, heard the mumbling of Uchiha Fenghuo, who was a little drunk, behind him.
"Why didn't you dodge that sword, Brother Jin?"

After meeting Uchiha Fenghuo by chance and learning a lot about the truth of his parents' sacrifice, Uchiha Gin, who was a little confused, had no intention of looking for a carpenter to renovate his backyard.

Uchiha Gin, wearing a mask across his shoulder and holding an Isobu doll, walked to his hut.

The store has already arranged the ordered tables and chairs as well as the training targets, and the originally bare backyard now looks a little more upscale.

Touching the brand new training dummy, Uchiha Gin nodded with satisfaction. Now all that was left was to rebuild the fence. It would have been much more convenient if he knew Wood Release. What a pity.

After cleaning up the backyard and preparing to enter the house, Uchiha Gin suddenly stopped, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he reached out to straighten the strange mask that was slung across his body, and gently pushed open the door.

At this time, Senju Itama was sitting on the sofa in a daze, unaware of the figure coming in from outside the door. He quietly walked behind Senju Itama, and with ill intentions, Uchiha Gin put one hand on the other's shoulder and moved his masked head closer.

Senju Itama, who was sitting alone on the sofa in a daze, suddenly found a hand on his shoulder. He turned around in shock, only to see a horrible monster face.

"Ah! Ghost~~Oh~~"

The frightened Senju Itama Tsuyoshi let out a cry, then foamed at the mouth and fainted.

"Tsk tsk tsk, why is this little brat so timid?"

Uchiha Gin found that the other party had fainted before he could even perform, so he took off his mask in disappointment and complained with a clicking sound.

"Hey hey hey, wake up."

He squatted down and patted the unconscious Senju Itama, but found that the other party did not respond. Uchiha Gin's heart tightened.
"No, that's scary. I'll be out of luck."
