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

Uchiha Gin's punch not only had maximum numerical value, but the surging dark nebula during the attack also contained the Devouring Law of Shinso Sadahime. This power, born from natural energy, was precisely the nemesis of the Otsutsuki clan.

"Human, I remember you."

Feeling a tearing sensation from the depths of his soul, Yi Shi coldly glared at the native before him who had inflicted such immense humiliation, as if trying to imprint his essence into his mind.

"You're not some cute girl, don't even think about me,"

Seeing the intense, almost homoerotic, gaze on the opponent's face, Uchiha Gin, unable to bear the intense stare any longer, immediately maximized the power of his absorption. The dark nebula coiled around his arm instantly swelled, and at the same time, a gaping maw with a serpent's tongue appeared behind him.
"Humph!"

Upon seeing this, a rare look of fear surfaced in his heart, but his face showed no sign of cowardice.

The noble Otsutsuki clan will never compromise with lowly humans!

"Ah sneeze!"

While watching Isshiki suffer a setback in the Driver's consciousness space, Mikoto suddenly felt an itch on her nose, let out a cute sneeze, scratched her head in confusion, and then her pure white eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh right! How could such a great storyline be complete without it?"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and opened the portal connecting to the Shadow Realm, retrieving popcorn and lemonade from her snack stash. Looking at these offerings presented by Uchiha Gin, the old ancestor straightened her back considerably.
"Hmph! Baka ichishiki, Baka ichishiki~"

"Hand over Hashirama Prison, and I might be able to give you a quick death."

In Uchiha Gin's view, the Otsutsuki were somewhat difficult to kill, but by no means invincible. If he wanted to, he had at least three ways to make Isshiki disappear from this world completely.
"Do these ignorant natives really think they've defeated a god?"

The one with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth looked at him disdainfully, his pale skin suddenly turning a normal human color at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
Uchiha Gin frowned. From the perspective of his mutated Byakugan, Isshiki's consciousness was detaching from the clone in his hand.

This guy is trying to run!
"Did I let you go?"

"What can you do to me?"

Although he didn't know how Uchiha Gin had discovered his consciousness, he knew perfectly well that the other party couldn't harm him, and chuckled mockingly.
"My face is right here, so come and hit me if you dare."

"You really think I can't deal with you just because you've turned into a ghost?"

Having always been the one mocking others, Uchiha Gin, who had never suffered such humiliation, narrowed his eyes. Under the questioning gaze of the Isshiki consciousness, he raised one hand and formed a strange hand seal.

"This is."

"Secret Technique: Spirit Transformation Art".

"what?"

As the consciousness that had detached from Uchiha Gin's body emerged, and half of Isshiki floated out of the clone, his eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the iron fist hurtling towards him.
"Bah!"

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

"Yes! Kick his ass! Shatter his airs!"

Holding a handful of popcorn, Wanryu watched with glee as Uchiha Gin beat up Isshiki's consciousness; her dark face flushed with excitement.

"call"

A moment later, in his spirit form, Uchiha Gin stretched his wrists, which had just been working out intensely. He glanced at Isshiki's consciousness, which had two dark circles under its eyes and two nosebleeds, and shook his head with a look of disgust.

"I've never heard such a despicable request before."

"Nigowodenze!"

With sausage lips, he could barely speak, and the hatred in his purplish-blue eyes was palpable.

"Can you say that again?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin raise his fist, his eyes radiating threat, Isshiki frantically tried to mentally prepare himself.

First, you must be patient. You could endure it when that stupid woman Kaguya was surrounded and attacked back then, so what is this kind of humiliation?
Compared to this, Yishi's mood instantly improved, and a triumphant smile even appeared on her swollen face.

"Ugh, is this guy a masochist? I miscalculated, he got his pleasure!"

Upon noticing the change in Isshiki's expression, Uchiha Gin suddenly felt a chill. He quickly looked down at his iron fist, his face filled with regret.
I'm dirty.

"Well"

Just then, a faint groan drew his attention, revealing that the clone that had possessed him earlier was still alive, but not far from it.
"Sigh, I'll give you a quick death."

With his consciousness restored, Uchiha Gin looked at the fourth clone, whose life force was as weak as a candle flickering in the wind, and shook his head with a sigh.

This guy has virtually no chance of healing himself.

After unleashing his power, he forcibly thawed 60% of the Karma Force using his body. Under the onslaught of high-intensity energy, his body was already riddled with holes.
Considering Uchiha Gin's fatal punch just now, it's a miracle he's still breathing.

Unable to bear watching the other die in agony, Uchiha Gin was overcome with compassion. He raised his other arm high, transforming his palm into a blade, ready to end Number Four's short but sinful life.
"Akito sack!"

However, just before the fatal hand chop was about to land, a tall figure appeared from afar and landed in front of Uchiha Gin.
"Please show mercy."

"Oh?"

Seeing Tsunade panting heavily, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Who is he to you that you'd plead for him?"

He is my grandfather.

Faced with Uchiha Gin's questioning, a slightly disheveled Tsunade hesitated for a few seconds, then her eyes gradually hardened, and she added firmly in her tone,
"Although he may not be my real grandfather, his care and love for me are definitely not fake."

Care and love?

Looking thoughtfully at the fourth clone before him, who was barely breathing and seemed about to die at any moment, Uchiha's brows furrowed slightly beneath his silver mask.
Could this clone be the same as those two mutants?
With this in mind, Uchiha Gin slowly withdrew his arm, which had pierced through his chest, and simultaneously tossed out a ball of life energy brimming with healing power. The amount was small, only enough to prolong Number Four's life for a short while.
Nourished by this energy, Number Four's complexion, which had been ashen, improved slightly, and the gruesome wound on his chest began to heal slowly. Witnessing this, Tsunade's face instantly showed a look of relief.

"You, come here."

Uchiha Gin then shifted his gaze to OMO's older cousin in the distance and waved to him.
"What are your orders?"

After landing, Madara Uchiha looked at Gin Uchiha, who had called him over, with a puzzled expression.
"Take your card and test the purity of its column content."

"Uh ok."

Upon hearing the new term "pillar quantity," Madara Uchiha, his face darkening, pulled out the Ashura Card from the card box at his waist, knelt down, and placed it on Number Four's forehead.

"Oh?"

Sure enough, the card flashed with the same light as 001 the moment it touched number four.

"again?"

Staring in astonishment at the sleeping Number Four, Madara Uchiha felt a sudden tremor deep within his consciousness, his gaze becoming complex. "What exactly is their connection to Hasi Hot Mom?"

"I'm not very good at questions about the soul. If I want to figure out what's going on, I'll probably have to consult an expert in that field."

Knowing his cousin was referring to him, but with his research on the soul still in the experimental stage, Gin Uchiha shook his head helplessly.
"Expert? Where can I find an expert on the soul? I'll go and kidnap him right now!"

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha immediately rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to set off at any moment.

According to experts, the white-haired girl is one example, but she doesn't even understand whether she has a penis or not, so let's forget about her.

Shaking his head to dismiss Senju Hisami, who was completely fussing over her gender, Uchiha Gin subconsciously turned his gaze to Orochimaru, who had arrived shortly after.

Too inexperienced. The future scientific research giant, Snake Auntie, is currently just a snake girl making money through livestreaming. We can't count on her.

"Ugh"

Thinking about it this way, it seems there are no more ninjas in the entire ninja world who study the soul.

"click~"

Just as Uchiha Gin was racking his brains to recall the backgrounds of every character, Reimu, who had been watching from the stands for a long time, landed carrying two sealed clones, a hint of urgency on her fair face.

"This is bad! I just checked, and your seal seems to be too tight. Their souls are about to be suffocated."

"."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes instantly focused on Reimu Hakurei's anxious face, which confused her for a moment. She subconsciously wiped her face with her hand.
Is there something dirty on my face?

"Oh right, how could I forget? Aren't shrine maidens experts in this area?"

Looking at the bewildered, armpit-baring shrine maiden, Uchiha Gin nodded with a look of sudden realization.

"Holy crap, this is amazing!"

If it weren't for his age, Madara Uchiha would almost have bowed down to Reimu, who had considerable knowledge of the soul.

"What are you babbling about? Hurry up and modify the seal. Their souls are incomplete and much more fragile than you think."

Reimu was quite frightened by Madara Uchiha's attitude, but still patting the washboard with lingering fear, she reminded Gin Uchiha,
It turned out that right after he left, Reimu, having nothing better to do, and harboring suspicions about the Uchiha Silver Vest, carefully examined the familiar seals on the two clones. However, while she didn't know whether she had figured out the seals themselves, she did discover another fatal problem.

Although these two clones were different from the destroyed clone army and possessed human souls, for some reason, while their souls were highly pure, their concentration was far lower than that of ordinary people.

Furthermore, Gin Uchiha's seal was applied to the three aspects of taijutsu, ninjutsu, and spirit, making it extremely powerful. Given the concentration of their souls, it would be difficult for them to maintain even the most basic survival under the seal.
To put it simply, it's like Uchiha Gin putting a Tibetan Mastiff leash around a Chihuahua's neck, and he was about to crush the puppy to death.
"Wait a moment, I'll fix it right away."

After Reimu's brief explanation, Gin Uchiha, having understood the reason, approached the two vacant-eyed clones, raised his hand and placed it on their foreheads, instantly activating the incantations attached to their bodies.
As the tadpole-shaped tally marks disappeared one by one, a human-like light gradually shone in the eyes of 001 and 009.
"Phew, I thought I was about to die."

Having narrowly escaped death, 001 let out a long sigh of relief, his face still etched with lingering fear.

"Really? I just felt like I slept really soundly."

The thick-skinned 009 gave a gentle,憨笑 (a kind of simple-minded smile), completely unaware that his soul fire had just been almost sealed and extinguished.
"Come on, come on, take another look at this guy."

After patching the seal, Uchiha Gin beckoned Reimu to check on Number Four's condition.

Reimu crouched in front of Number Four, her raised palm radiating a mysterious pale purple light, which also shone in her eyes. Looking at Number Four, enveloped in the purple light, her embroidered brows furrowed slightly.
Another broken soul.

"Well, his soul is in the same situation as those two guys, except it's about to dissipate."

The purple aura dissipated, and Reimu stood up with a solemn expression, explaining to Uchiha Gin,
"why?"

"."

Looking at Madara Uchiha, who was eagerly pressing for answers, as if he were an idiot, Reimu gently shook her head.
"Because he's going to die."

When a person dies, the lamp goes out; the soul must return to the Pure Land after the body dies.

"Huh? Tsunade, what are you standing there for? Quick, save them!"

After a brief silence, Madara Uchiha, who hadn't yet figured out the connection between these mutated clones and Hashirama Senju, grabbed the bewildered Tsunade beside him and urged her loudly,

"Okay!"

After a brief examination, Tsunade poured pale blue healing energy into Number Four's body as if it were free. Nourished by this continuous flow of life energy, he was pulled back from the brink of death.
"call"

Pale-faced Tsunade swayed as she stood up, and Orochimaru and Jiraiya quickly came over to help her.
"There are no problems for now."

After taking a deep breath, Tsunade nodded to the hesitant Uchiha Madara, and then showed a relieved expression herself.

"I see that you have considerable insight into matters of the soul. Do you know anything about the situation of those three?"

Uchiha Gin turned to look at Reimu beside him, only to find that Reimu was also secretly observing him, her large eyes darting around nervously.
"Huh? This is the first time I've encountered a case of a soul being incomplete."

When asked the question, Reimu subconsciously looked away, a thoughtful expression on her face.

"but."

She suddenly had a bold guess.
"But what?"

Seeing Reimu's hesitant expression, Gin Uchiha's curiosity was instantly piqued.
Do you know what the soul is?

Unexpectedly, Reimu didn't answer; instead, she posed a profoundly philosophical question.

What is the soul?
This question truly stumped Uchiha Gin. As a staunch materialist, he had never deeply considered the nature of the soul.
"Heart?"

However, Uchiha Hikaru, after a moment of inexplicable contemplation, spoke calmly.

"While not entirely accurate, it's not far off."

Reimu glanced at the indifferent Uchiha Hikaru with considerable surprise. She hadn't expected this cold-faced, violent woman to have such a profound understanding of the soul. Most people would answer with things like willpower or spirit.

“When the soul resides in the body, it becomes the mind, so the mind can also be considered the manifestation of the soul.”

Reimu nodded, her tone suddenly becoming very deep, and her entire being was enveloped in a sacred aura.

"The soul, also known as the One Spirit, is composed of four different souls: the Wise Soul, which governs wisdom; the Harmonious Soul, which represents affinity and benevolence; and the Lucky Soul, which governs love and emotion."

"Forehead"

While everyone else listened intently to Reimu's explanation, there was an oddball in the room, restless and uneasy. Uchiha Gin, sitting at the edge of the crowd, looked strangely at the pious, armpit-baring shrine maiden, a huge thought swirling in his mind, unsure whether to voice it or not.
Hey sis, where did your bow and arrows and your dog husband go? (End of Chapter)
