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

In his previous life, Uchiha Gin developed good cooking skills because he lived alone. After being in this world for so long, he finally had the opportunity to show off his skills.

When he came out with his specialty braised fish and sweet and sour pork, the two brats who had been so angry stopped arguing at the same time, twitching their noses as if they were looking for something.

"Cousin, what does this smell like? What are you serving?"

Discovering that the smell came from what Uchiha Gin was holding, the frizzy Uchiha Izuna couldn't wait to ask. Senju Itama, who was tied up at the side, also looked up curiously.

"Here, your cousin, why don't you come and try my craftsmanship?"

Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows, put the dishes in his hands on the table, and turned back to pick up other dishes.

After hearing his greeting, Uchiha Izuna stopped bickering with Senju Itama and sat down at the dining table.

Looking at the delicious food on the table with bright eyes, his mouth watered uncontrollably. Unable to bear it, he directly reached out to grab the shiny sweet and sour pork loin.

"Go wash your hands first!"

Uchiha Gin, who was once again carrying a stack of bowls and chopsticks and a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, scolded the boy when he saw his impatient behavior.

"knew"

After being scolded, Izuna stopped extending her hand and whispered in a low voice.

Quan Nai, who returned after washing his hands, didn't care about etiquette. The battle just now consumed him a lot of energy, so he immediately picked up the bowl and started to eat.

“This meat is so sour and sweet! It’s so delicious!”

Quan Nai's eyes lit up after stuffing a mouthful of sweet and sour pork, and she wanted to swallow the entire bowl.

"GuluGulu~"

Looking at Uchiha Izuna, whose mouth was full of oil after eating, Senju Itama, who was tied up, swallowed secretly.

He hadn't eaten rice or water for several days. Smelling the aroma wafting from the dining table, his stomach rumbled and his head bowed in frustration.

"Hey, cousin, whose tableware and chopsticks belong to you? Have you invited anyone else?"

After struggling to swallow the food in his mouth, Uchiha Izuna saw a pair of bowls and chopsticks on the table and asked curiously.

After finishing cooking, Uchiha Gin, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen and walked straight to Senju Itama, who was sitting on the ground with his head lowered.

With a hissing sound, the rope in Senju Itama's hand broke.

After regaining his freedom, he looked at the homely form of Uchiha Gin in front of him in disbelief. When he saw him, he gently patted his head and said,

"Why are you standing there, you go and eat too."

"Why?"

The confused Senju Banma moved his stiff hands and asked warily.

"You just eat when you are told to. There are so many reasons why."

Uchiha Gin shuddered at his puzzled little head, then lifted him to the dining table and gave him the chopsticks.

Senju Itama, who had tears in his eyes due to pain, looked at the food on the table and was reluctant to do anything. Uchiha Gin picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a piece of fresh fish into his dazed mouth.

With the secretion of saliva, the smell of braised fish spread to his taste buds. For a moment, tears flowed down his cheeks. Then he buried his head in the bowl and took a big bite of rice while saying,

"You hateful Uchiha, don't hit me on the head again!" It seemed as if the tears just shed were because of Uchiha Gin's violent trembling.

The next time was a competition between the two brats to grab food. In the end, the older and stronger Uchiha Izuna won without any suspense.

After taking away the last piece of sweet and sour pork, he mocked the defeated Senju Itama with an evil look on his face.

"That's it? That's it?"

After the farce was over, Uchiha Izuna lay comfortably on the sofa, stroking her bulging belly. However, Senju Itama wisely helped Uchiha Gin clear the dishes.

"You're quite smart! Your brother must be very happy to have a younger brother like you."

Seeing that Senju Itama took the initiative to help him clean up after eating, Uchiha Gin praised him.

After being praised by Uchiha Gin, a weird smile appeared on Senju Itama's little face, and he squinted his eyes provocatively and looked at Uchiha Izuna lying dead on the sofa.

Seeing the smell of tea in Senju Itama's tea, Uchiha Izuna felt itchy with hatred.

"This little bz!"

"Brother, who is this kid?"

Uchiha Izuna, who could not bear this kind of anger, immediately declared his sovereignty and deliberately asked Uchiha Gin loudly.

Upon hearing Uchiha Senna's question, Senju Itama, who was holding the bowls and chopsticks, stiffened and his expression became depressed.

Uchiha Gin on the side patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't care, and then said,

"This kid is an orphan I met during the mission. He has a bit of a bad temper, but he has good talents. I will capture him and prepare to train him into a confidant."

During the turbulent Warring States Period, there were orphans everywhere with no fixed abodes. A few were lucky enough to be taken in by their families and became slaves doing odd jobs.

But most of them were unlucky. They either starved to death on the streets, or became cannon fodder in the war. The most unlucky thing was that they were caught and used for human experiments, with extremely miserable results.

"oh."

After hearing Uchiha Gin's explanation, Izuna didn't ask any more questions. After all, he was just an orphan from a foreign race and could not catch the eyes of him, the son of the clan leader.

Uchiha Gin's explanation made Senju Itama, who was still cleaning up on the side, feel relieved. The other party did not reveal his identity, but at the same time, a big question arose in his heart, why did this guy want to protect himself so much?

During the chat time after the meal, Uchiha Gin sat on the sofa and asked Uchiha Izuna, who was still picking his teeth.

"Has anything happened in the clan recently?"

"No, everyone has been training actively recently, and my father said the battle will start again soon."

Uchiha Izuna, who did not fully understand the meaning of war, said easily.

"Is the decisive battle about to begin?"

After hearing this, Uchiha Gin touched his chin thoughtfully.

"But there's something strange."

Uchiha Izuna suddenly spoke, and at the same time, his expression didn't look good.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the other party's ugly expression, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Recently, my brother has been very mysterious."

Uchiha Izuna said in an uncertain tone,

"It seems like she is in love. She sneaks out every day and is extremely happy when she comes back."

"Ahem, how are you sure you're in love?"

Uchiha Izuna's guess made people squirt and almost choked to death on her saliva.

"Uchiha Suihua from the head of the village sneaked out at night and stayed in the woods with Uchiha Tiedan from the patrol team for a long time. When she came back, she was all smiles. Later, they got married."

Uchiha Izuna said seriously,

"I've seen that smile, it's exactly the same as my brother's now!"

"Pfft~" Uchiha Gin, who had just taken a sip of water and was about to take it easy, spat out all the water he drank.

The water column hit Senju Itama who was eating melon on the side unbiasedly. He wiped his mouth in the resentful eyes of the opponent, and patted Uchiha Izuna on the head.

"I didn't learn well at a young age and spied on other people's dates. Who else knows about this?"

"Humph, I reported it to my father. My father asked me to keep an eye on my brother when I have time to see who he is secretly dating."

Touching his sore little head, Uchiha Izuna said with an expression of being entrusted with an important task.

It seems that the enemies of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara have already met, so the founding of Konoha is not far away, and the day when they can fish safely is coming soon!

Just as he was daydreaming about his wonderful future, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Uchiha Gin stood up warily, signaled Senju Itama to retreat into the back room, and then opened the door.

A strange Uchiha tribesman stood at the door. His cold eyes and withered face looked like a lifeless corpse.

"Uchiha Gin, the clan leader has an order."

The sound coming out of his mouth was as hoarse as sandpaper.

Uchiha Gin frowned, not sure what his cousin was up to, but he still nodded and accepted.

"For the next few days, you will go to the dungeon."

This sentence made Uchiha Gin's hair stand on end and his pupils trembled.

"Assigned, come and report tomorrow."

Can this man speak without breathing heavily?
