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

"Today is a good day~"

As usual, Uchiha Gin, who got off work on time, hummed an incomprehensible tune and walked slowly towards home.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, his drooping left eyelid began to twitch uncontrollably.

It is said that right eye twitching means disaster, while left eye twitching means good fortune.

This omen of wealth prompted Uchiha Gin to slow down his pace and start looking around for the unexpected fortune that was about to come to him.

"Curly, did you lose something?"

At this moment, a familiar but sinister voice rang in the ears of Uchiha Gin, who was lowering his head.

"Yo~"

Looking up at the annoying white-haired man, Uchiha Gin weakly responded as a greeting, but he did not hide the disdain on his face.

His eyelids must have twitched in the wrong direction. This white-haired guy must be up to no good.

"I have something I want to ask you."

Senju Tobirama, who came to pursue Uchiha Gin, was not angry at the other party's perfunctory attitude, and went straight to the point.

"Ask me?"

When Uchiha Gin heard that Senju Tobirama wanted a favor from him, he instantly perked up. His decadent eyes lit up with a gleam of light, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

My ancestors never lied to me. As expected, I got some unexpected wealth.

"Is it inconvenient?"

Looking at Uchiha Gin's strange expression, Senju Tobirama, with a frown on his face, shuddered involuntarily, feeling as if something was about to leave him.

"It's convenient, very convenient, but this is not the place to talk."

Glancing at the bustling crowd around him, Uchiha Gin nodded.

"You mentioned the place."

"Come with me."

Leading Senju Tobirama, they turned left and right, and finally came to a red and white sign.

"Are you sure you want to talk here?"

Senju Tobirama had a strange look on his face.

"What? Do you look down on our local brand in Konoha?"

Turning his head and raising his eyebrows, Uchiha Gin, who always believed in keeping the wealth within the family, took the initiative to put a big hat on him.

"Okay, I'll treat you?"

"That's what I've been waiting for."

Nodding with satisfaction, Uchiha Gin stepped into the store first, and pleasant music came out.

[You love me, I love you honey x Ice City Sweet Honey~]

"Welcome!"

"One cup of strawberry Bobo, full of sugar, less ice and two portions of taro paste, how about you?"

Smiling and waving at the familiar clerk, Uchiha Gin finished his order and turned to ask Tobirama Senju behind him,

“Iced Americano.”

"Another caramel macchiato, double caramel."

"No, I."

Seeing Uchiha Gin secretly modifying his menu, Senju Tobirama frowned.

The reason why he ordered an iced American coffee was to use the caffeine to keep his mind clear at all times and to prepare for the memory of his doppelganger that would arrive at any time.

"What am I? Life is hard enough, and I need to have a taste of sweetness once in a while."

Senju Tobirama is a pure science and engineering man who has no interest in life at all. Not only does he have a bitter face every day, he also drinks such bitter drinks. No wonder he is single all his life.

Uchiha Gin's seemingly careless words brought a bit of inexplicable warmth to Senju Tobirama's scarlet eyes.

As expected, curly hair is the core criterion for measuring the excellence of the Uchiha.

"What are you standing there for? This table is almost gone."

“Here I come.”

"Please enjoy your strawberry Bobo and caramel macchiato~"

After a while, the waiter brought the ordered drinks. Uchiha Gin took the strawberry Bobo with pink bubbles in front of him.

After confirming that he had received his reward, it was time for him to get to work.

"Tell me what you need from me, Konoha's number one developer."

After taking a sip of the long-lost sweet water, Uchiha Gin calmly asked,

Senju Tobirama was looking at the sweet caramel macchiato. After hearing Uchiha Gin's cheesy voice, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. The warmth that just surged in his heart was quickly suppressed.

"You still remember my missing shadow clone, right?"

"The one who ran off with Hashirama in prison? Of course I remember."

In fact, Uchiha Gin has always been curious about this matter. You said that Senju Hashirama, a living person, disappeared, but Senju Tobirama's shadow clone was out of the control of the original body and lost contact with him.

How strange! How strange!

"That shadow clone is definitely still with Big Brother. If we can find a way to get rid of him, all the truth will be revealed to the world."

"So, you want me to help you reconnect with that shadow clone?"

"I don't expect you to help me achieve that, but just give me some ideas."

Senju Tobirama shook his head slightly. He had already tried all the conventional methods. Now he came to Uchiha Gin just to give it a try and see if this curly-haired guy could give him some inspiration.

"Tsk! Who are you looking down on?"

Unexpectedly, Senju Tobirama actually looked down upon him. Uchiha Gin curled his lips, his eyes full of thought.

After a while, he took the lead and asked,

"Have you ever tried to drain yourself?"

As the saying goes, masts, sails, and oars are reduced to ashes. If the clone can sense that the original body is in an extremely weak state, it will take the initiative to release it and feed the chakra back.

"I've tried several times, to no avail."

Senju Tobirama had tried this method several times before, and he almost lost his life once. All the clones he created were automatically dissolved, except for the missing one.

"It's useless?"

Uchiha Gin frowned. Even this extreme method was difficult to work, which meant that the shadow clone was most likely not in the same dimension as them.

But looking at the entire Naruto, it seems that no method can achieve this effect.

"I suspect that my shadow clone has been sealed in another dimension."

Looking at Uchiha Gin with a frown on his face, Senju Tobirama hesitated for a moment and expressed his guess.

"oh?"

As expected of you~

This incredible speculation is the most likely outcome at the moment.

"If this is the case, then conventional means will not work."

Seeing that Senju Tobirama's guess coincided with his own, Uchiha Gin nodded slightly.

"So I want to start with the space-time ninjutsu, first lock the space where the shadow clone is, and then break it open."

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Gin did not refute him, but agreed with him. Senju Tobirama suddenly felt touched as if he had met a bosom friend, and immediately began to talk about his own countermeasures.

His idea is simple, but it is extremely difficult to implement.

Not to mention how difficult it is to find that illusory different space, just the magical operation of breaking through the space is a gap that ordinary people cannot overcome.

"Well, what do you think?"

After blabbering about his operation, Tobirama Senju, who was thirsty, picked up the cooled caramel macchiato in front of him and ate it ton by ton. The mellow and sweet taste of his first taste made his eyes light up.

Iced Americano?

Even dogs won’t drink it!

At this moment, he only felt sorry for the small amount of money he had spent on iced American coffee.

"Actually, I think you're putting the cart before the horse."

Looking at Senju Tobirama who was seeking approval, Uchiha Gin criticized him mercilessly, saying that this white-haired man was too obsessed with finding his shadow clone.

In fact, sometimes we should look in the mirror and look for the answers within ourselves.

"ha?"

I thought Uchiha Gin would agree with me, but I was immediately confused.

Isn't this different from what he thought?

What should happen next is that the two of them should work together to start the opportunity to find the other dimension.

"In fact, there is a simpler way to remove the shadow clone."

Uchiha Gin tapped the tabletop rhythmically with his fingers, looking thoughtful. Senju Tobirama was stunned when he heard this.

"Impossible, I have tried all the methods I can."

"No, there's another one that you definitely haven't tried."

With a mysterious smile on his lips, Uchiha Gin shook his head.

"What is it?"

Senju Tobirama, feeling like a cat scratching his head, couldn't help but ask,

“Have you ever tried it?”

His eyes fell on the other's anxious eyes, and Uchiha Gin said lightly,

".Die once and see the effect."

"ha???"

That's right, apart from those extremely complicated operations, the most straightforward way Uchiha Gin could think of to remove the shadow clone was to completely kill the original body.

When a ninja dies, the chakra in his body will return to the Pure Land along with his soul. Shadow clones, after all, are just products of the original body's chakra.

In the ninja world, the mechanism of chakra returning to the Pure Land and waiting for redistribution takes priority over everything else. A shadow clone that has lost its original body will definitely be recycled by the Pure Land regardless of time and space, and there will be no possibility of any remnant.

"Well you curly-haired bastard, I thought you were a good Uchiha, but in the end, you're still an inherently evil old den!"

Senju Tobirama was very angry with Uchiha Gin. If he hadn't felt sorry for the drink he spent money on, he would have poured the half cup of caramel macchiato in his hand all over his fluffy curly hair.

"Just be patient."

Uchiha Gin waved his hand, signaling Senju Tobirama not to rush.

"Putting aside other things, do you think my method is feasible?"

"Humph! Of course it's possible, but I'm dead now. What's the point of knowing the truth? Should I take it to the Pure Land?"

"It's okay, I can call you out~"

Isn’t this putting your knowledge into practice?

Uchiha Gin then gave a teasing smile to the furious Senju Tobirama.

"Or are you unwilling to sacrifice your precious life for Hashirama's prison?"

"Get lost! If you say one more word, I will tear your mouth off."

"Okay, okay, you're really not good at making fun of me. No wonder you can't find a wife."

Seeing Senju Tobirama start to move his fingers, Uchiha Gin knew that he could not continue to joke, so he straightened his face and continued in a very serious tone,

"This method is the quickest and most reliable solution at the moment, bar none."

"So you want me to die?"

Although Tobirama Senju is always prepared to sacrifice for his elder brother, he always feels a little bit wronged by such an unclear sacrifice.

"It's okay, just go ahead and die, I'll take care of everything else."

Alas~ You, Senju Tobirama, only need to close your eyes and kick your legs, but for me, Uchiha Gin, I have a lot more follow-up work to do.

"You're here to collect my body, huh? You damn curly-haired thing!"

"You are really judging a gentleman by your own mean character."

I didn't expect that even after talking so much, this white-haired guy would still be so petty. Uchiha Gin immediately rolled his eyes.

"Otherwise, can you still resurrect me?"

"That's natural."

"There are always villains who want to harm you? What did you say?"

Senju Tobirama, who was about to rant for a while, suddenly realized what was happening and froze in his place. Looking at Uchiha Gin who looked very confident, he asked uncertainly,

"Can you say that again?"

"The prison will be resurrected~"

Soon, Senju Tobirama recovered his composure from his surprise, frowned tightly, and there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes when he looked at Uchiha Gin.

"You don't mean to?"

As a Senju who understands Uchiha better than the Uchiha, Senju Tobirama naturally knows the secret techniques of the Uchiha clan by heart. Among the many secret techniques, there is a magical illusion called Izanagi.

Izanagi, the ultimate eye technique of the Uchiha clan, has the effect of making all the unfavorable things that happened to you within a period of time become as if they had never happened, and only chooses the things that are beneficial to you to become reality. Even if you are dead, it can bring you back. It is a terrifying eye technique that allows you to ignore death.

At this moment, Uchiha Gin made a decision that went against his ancestors.

"Yes, that's the technique you were thinking of."

Looking at Senju Tobirama who showed understanding, Uchiha Gin nodded.

At present, the most convenient and cheapest resurrection technique is Izanagi of the Uchiha clan.

Painless resurrection, only one Sharingan needs to be consumed each time.

"But, as far as I know, only the holder of the Sharingan can use this technique, right?"

Before Senju Tobirama had time to think about the feasibility, he soon discovered the blind spot.

How can he have the Sharingan when he has only Thousand Hands?

We can't ask him to transplant one, can we?

"I'll lend you one~"

"Do you think the Sharingan is a piece of cabbage that you can lend it to me just like that?"

When he thought about putting something so sinister in his eye sockets, Senju Tobirama felt a little nauseous.

"Besides, even if you Uchiha are willing to lend it, I'd still find it disgusting!"

"There are times when you say it smells so good."

Uchiha Gin looked at Tobirama Senju with disdain on his face and curled his lips imperceptibly.

You say no with your mouth, but your body is very honest.

Didn’t your good disciple, Sexy Sun Brother, have a Sharingan transplanted on his arm?

"However, I have to discuss this matter with my eldest cousin first."

The leakage of the Sharingan is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either.

Even if Senju Tobirama was just borrowed as a consumable, he was still the bloodline of the Uchiha clan, so the final decision still had to be made by the clan leader.

In the Hokage's office

Izuna and Jing are reporting their recent work to Uchiha Madara.

Crackling——

Just when he was talking about the key point, a blue lightning suddenly lit up.

"Tsk! This white-haired guy, can't he just go through the main entrance?"

Looking at the familiar light, Uchiha Madara, who was sitting on the Hokage throne, frowned slightly. The next moment, two figures appeared in the light.

Click!

"Oh~ Not bad, I didn't vomit."

After landing, Senju Tobirama wanted to help the people around him, but Uchiha Gin, who looked calm, surprised him a little.

After all, everyone who rides the Flying Thunder God Technique for the first time will experience a little bit of motion sickness.

"Cousin, why are you here too?"

The three Uchiha present, seeing Uchiha Gin coming with Senju Tobirama, all showed puzzled expressions. Uchiha Madara was the first to ask,

"Ahem. I came here to introduce this white-haired man to the tribe." (End of this chapter)
