Chapter 109: The Two Who Are Too Different

With the arrival of mealtime, the guests in the grilled meat restaurant came one after another. Uchiha Yazi didn't continue to chat with the two and got up to greet the guests.

Looking at the Uchiha clan members who were talking and laughing, Uchiha Dailang couldn't help but sigh,

"Now is a rare peaceful period, and there are many more guests than before."

"Yeah, those guys from the Senju are choosing a new clan head, the battlefield has stabilized a bit, and everyone can come back to relax."

Uchiha Gin took a sip of the fine wine Uchiha Dailang had collected. After it entered his throat, he frowned,

"Why does this wine taste wrong? It's as bland as if it were mixed with water."

"Impossible! It was fine when I drank it a few days ago."

Hearing Uchiha Gin's questioning, a flash of red crossed Uchiha Dailang's honest face. Not believing in evil, he poured himself a cup, tasted it carefully, and his brows also frowned. A flash of thought crossed his eyes, and he revealed an expression of sudden realization,

"Tsk, it must be that kid Erlang. I'll break his legs when I see him come back!"

At this moment, in the Uchiha clan's dungeon.

"Huoke, it's not easy to come back from the battlefield, as brothers, I must welcome you."

Uchiha Erlang, who looked mature, had a mysterious look on his face. He carefully took out a storage scroll from his backpack, his hands forming seals. As the smoke dissipated, a jar of fine wine and a small mountain of spell materials appeared on the ground.

"These are all my collection, let you pick one!"

Uchiha Erlang, who had a look of struggle, said with a painful wave of his hand.

Uchiha Huoke:

"Hehe, didn't expect that thick-browed, big-eyed kid Erlang would also commit the three ninja prohibitions."

Uchiha Gin recalled the boy who worked in the dungeon who looked honest but was actually yellow with oil, and laughed, expressing his support.

"You make me laugh."

Uchiha Dailang, with a dark face, put away the fine wine on the table and said somewhat embarrassedly,

"It's fine, after all, with your current body, it's not good to drink too strong wine. That kid Erlang might be feeling sorry for you."

Recalling Uchiha Dailang's physical condition, Uchiha Gin decided to help his little colleague find an excuse after thinking about it. After all, he still had to let the other party make things convenient for him to brush the dungeon now. If his legs were broken and the position was changed, he would have to move around again.

"Hmph! Hope so."

Uchiha Dailang, whose heart warmed, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, but still replied stiffly.

Just when Uchiha Gin and his old teammate were chatting happily, the three in the private room were in another scene.

In the private room.

Uchiha Yazi brought tea and poured it for the three in the room one by one. Her eyes swept over the silent few, and she couldn't help but mutter in her heart,

"When did this guy Gin provoke so many little girls?"

She was more familiar with Senju Itama and Uchiha Zhili; the two would come to the store to consume every few days, but she hadn't seen the black-haired girl sitting alone on the side.

"Yazi-jie, remember to serve me a strip of fish!"

Senju Itama, who was originally whispering with Uchiha Zhili, saw that the person greeting them was an acquaintance and immediately made her request.

"Okay, little Itama, what about you, little Zhili?"

Uchiha Yazi agreed with a smile, then turned to ask the purple-haired girl.

"Yazi-jie, I want a portion of chicken wings."

Uchiha Zhili smiled and ordered a portion of her favorite chicken wings.

"And this young lady?"

Noting the requirements of the two, Uchiha Yazi asked Uchiha Guang, who had been silent. Looking at her hairstyle, she must be a pure Uchiha clan member.

"Whatever Gin orders, I'll eat."

Judging by the performance of the two, Gin is very familiar with the people in this store.

Can I, who have been sealed for so many years, really reintegrate into his life?

"Is Gin very familiar with the people in this store?"

After Uchiha Yazi left, Uchiha Guang broke the silence first. She couldn't let herself be ignorant. From now on, she would try her best to understand every bit of Gin.

"The owner of this store is Gin-sensei's former teammate, who opened this grilled meat restaurant after being injured and retiring."

Senju Itama, who didn't want to talk to Uchiha Guang, turned her head as if she were angry, pretending not to hear.

Uchiha Zhili, who sensed that the girl was not a character to be trifled with, explained to her in a low voice to relieve the embarrassment.

"Thank you, can I call you Zhili?"

Uchiha Guang, who temporarily put down the misgivings in her heart and decided to understand Gin, decided to start with the purple-haired Uchiha girl in front of her. The other party didn't seem to have any emotional entanglement with Gin, so she could safely make friends.

"Senior is too polite, just call me little Zhili."

Although Uchiha Guang in front of her looked like she wasn't much older than her, she could perceive from her aura that her age was definitely not as young as it looked to the naked eye.

"Okay little Zhili, I want to ask..."

Uchiha Guang, who had successfully connected with the purple-haired girl, nodded with satisfaction in her heart. She had already taken the first step to success.

"Zhili-jie! How could you betray your best friend?"

Looking at the two girls who were talking happily, Senju Itama felt a deep betrayal. She felt she had been cuckolded, and more than once.

"Little Zhili is of the same clan as me, so she should be closer to me."

Hearing Senju Itama's words, Uchiha Guang, with a smile in her eyes, turned her head and explained "kindly" to this defeated subordinate who had been abandoned by her friends,

"That's not the case. Although Guang-senior is of the same clan as me and our bloodlines are connected, Itama and I have known each other for many years and have long been like siblings."

The purple-haired girl balanced the bowl of water, speaking without offending either side, well-versed in the way of the golden mean.

"By the way, I've had a question since the beginning and would like to ask Guang-senior."

Uchiha Zhili and Uchiha Guang had exchanged enough, and finally found an opportunity to ask the other party.

??? Uchiha Guang had a question mark face.

"Since Guang-senior and Gin-sensei are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, why is Gin-sensei now thirty years old, while Guang-senior still looks like she's sixteen?"

Hearing her mouthpiece help ask the question she most wanted to know the answer to, Senju Itama, who was silently drinking tea, pricked up her ears, afraid of missing anything.

"Hmm~ Sorry, this question is confidential. Without permission, I cannot disclose it to anyone."

Uchiha Tajima had told the two before that they could not disclose what happened during the mission and Uchiha Guang's experience, so the girl could only refuse to answer Uchiha Zhili's question.

"Oh~~~ Since it's confidential, I won't ask anymore."

The sensible Uchiha Zhili immediately stated that she wouldn't ask again, while Senju Itama to the side curled her lips,

"Hmph! Pretending to be a god, old woman."

Uchiha Guang, with sharp ears, had her fists hardened. She now found the black-haired brat more and more unpleasant, as if she were naturally at odds with the other party.

Forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart, Uchiha Guang, who raised her head and smiled, was just about to continue asking about Gin when she heard a noisy sound from outside, followed by Uchiha Gin's unique voice ringing out,

"What a coincidence! What a coincidence! Big cousin, little cousin, you're back?"

"Let's go together, let's go together!"

"Swish!"

The private room door was pushed open. The three in the room looked up at the door in unison. Outside, besides Uchiha Gin, stood two cold and handsome men, who were none other than the brothers Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna.

"Didn't expect to run into you as soon as I got back."

Uchiha Madara's iceberg-like face was full of helplessness at this moment. Having just returned from patrolling the front line, he was preparing to go out with his brother Izuna to eat something good to reward himself. He didn't expect that as soon as he entered this extremely famous grilled meat restaurant in the clan, he would be discovered by Uchiha Gin, who was sitting in the lobby.

"Big cousin, are you really going to welcome us?"

Izuna, who was young and had just shed his immaturity, had a face full of smiles. Originally, he was the one who lost the competition and had to treat his brother, but now it was great—he ran into his generous big cousin, so he didn't have to spend money.

"We're all brothers, why be polite with me? Come in and sit!"

Uchiha Gin smiled and patted Uchiha Madara on the shoulder, pushing the two into the private room. With no other choice, they walked in half-pushed.

Huh?

After entering the private room, Uchiha Madara instinctively felt a threat. A cold and obscure aura permeated the entire private room, making him involuntarily vigilant, his hand quietly reaching for the sword at his waist.

"The sword is hanging right there, it's inconvenient to eat while wearing it, and it might poke people..."

Before he could react, Uchiha Gin's hand had already reached his sword first. Before he could refuse, the other party flicked his hand and took his sword into his hand, then hung it on the rack in the private room.

A flash of surprise crossed Uchiha Madara's heart. This technique? This speed?

However, before he could continue thinking, his own younger brother had already sat down quickly.

Izuna's vigilance is too poor; must practice more in the future, lest he be ambushed on the battlefield.

"Big cousin, who is this girl?"

After Izuna hurried to sit down, he realized that besides the Senju Itama and Uchiha Zhili he knew, there was also a black-haired girl he had never seen before, who was staring at him with a thoughtful look, making him feel a burst of hair-raising. The little cousin, who was sitting uneasily, couldn't help but whisper to Uchiha Gin beside him,

"A friend, a friend who played together since childhood."

He didn't directly introduce the girl's identity, just simply called her a childhood sweetheart friend.

"Ah? You two are too different, right?"

Comparing the size of the two in his heart, the straightforward Uchiha Izuna said with glowing eyes, as if he had discovered a shocking bug,

"You could be her father."

"Boom!!!"

"Can you give me some face outside, brother?"

Izuna, who was rewarded with a second style of Uchiha Taijutsu mystery by Uchiha Gin, covered the big bump on his head and complained to the culprit in grievance.

"Your words are too dense."

Blowing the blue smoke off his fist, Uchiha Gin said with a look of "hate iron for not becoming steel." After finishing, he secretly glanced at Uchiha Guang, whose expression was unhappy. Izuna, this kid's mouth is becoming less and less guarded; cousin doing this is saving you!

"Gin, are they the younger brothers you mentioned?"

Uchiha Guang, whose expression returned to normal, looked at the three brothers interacting with a smile on her face, and asked in a soft tone, looking like a virtuous and gentle woman.

"That's right, I mentioned them to you before."

Recalling the time in the research institute, Uchiha Gin smiled and introduced the two to the girl,

"This kid who is a bit jumpy is little cousin Izuna, and the one over there who looks like a stranger shouldn't be approached is big cousin Madara."

"My name is Uchiha Guang, I am your sister-in-law... cousin's childhood sweetheart."

The girl, who stopped in time, hurriedly changed the subject, almost letting out her true feelings again.

Uchiha Guang?

Hearing the girl's self-introduction, Uchiha Madara's eyes turned slightly. There seemed to be traces of this name in his childhood memory, but it shouldn't be; this girl's appearance looked much younger than him.

I must be crazy thinking about wooden people!
