Chapter 133

"You two brats, don't embarrass me when you go to the Land of Lightning; at least become a leader."

Uchiha Gin, who had ended his fantasy time, looked at the young but old-looking Kinkaku, wiped the tears from the corners of his mouth, and teased with a smile,

"Otherwise, don't say you know me."

"Every word of Mr. Gin, our brothers will definitely keep in mind."

Kinkaku pulled his younger brother behind him, his tiger eyes filled with tears. Although the time they spent together was very short, he was sincerely respectful to Uchiha Gin.

From the unreserved teaching of their brothers at the beginning to the life-saving act at the critical moment later, he saw everything in his eyes and kept it in his heart.

"Ginkaku, take it out."

Kinkaku took out an ancient and dilapidated scroll from his arms and said to his younger brother behind him.

Ginkaku didn't hesitate when he heard this, and immediately took out a scroll of the same style from his arms, handing the two scrolls to Uchiha Gin while speaking,

"Mr. Gin, what is sealed inside are the artifacts of our Hagoromo clan. Please choose two pieces at will!"

"Huh? Didn't the mission say one piece?"

Taking the scroll handed over by Kinkaku, it felt very heavy in his hand, and the material felt like it was made of some kind of tree bark.

Just holding it in his hand, he could sense the profound power contained in the scroll, but perhaps because it had existed for too long, these two scrolls looked like they would fall apart at any time.

"Great kindness is not thanked in words; Mr. Gin, please choose. The extra one is the heart of our two brothers; please don't refuse."

Kinkaku waved his hand. Although Uchiha Gin escorting them was a mission, the help given to the brothers far exceeded the scope of the mission. The two discussed it and unanimously decided to let Uchiha Gin choose one more artifact.

After all, if Uchiha Gin took such a rare artifact back, it would most likely be taken back to the clan for research, and the right to use it would most likely not fall into his hands.

"Let me take a look first!"

Uchiha Gin saw the little thoughts of the two brothers, and his heart felt warm. He didn't refuse and opened the scroll to check.

First, he opened Ginkaku's scroll, which sealed two artifacts. On the left was a wide sword with auspicious clouds dotted on the four corners, and on the right was a simple red gourd.

Immediately after, Uchiha Gin opened Kinkaku's scroll, which sealed three artifacts. On the far left was a golden hemp rope, in the middle was a red and white banana fan, and on the far right was a jar with inscriptions on the body.

"Ginkaku holds the Seven-Star Sword and the Red Gourd, while I have the Golden Rope, the Banana Fan, and the Amber Purifying Bottle."

Kinkaku began to carefully introduce the Six Paths Ninja Tools they possessed to Uchiha Gin. Although the names made him feel a bit out of place, he knew the original plot, so he knew something about the artifacts before him.

"The Seven-Star Sword is..."

Kinkaku's eyes shone, and he introduced his family's artifacts like a treasure, fearing that Uchiha Gin wouldn't like them,

"... The Banana Fan allows the holder to ignore their own chakra attributes and release super-strong weapons of five nature transformations: fire, water, lightning, wind, and earth, in one breath."

Kinkaku, whose mouth was a bit dry, licked his lips and introduced the last treasure.

"This jar is called the Amber Purifying Bottle; as long as you respond to the holder's words, you will be sucked into the bottle and sealed."

"Hmm"

After listening to the introduction of all the artifacts, the effects were exactly the same as described in the original work, which made Uchiha Gin unable to choose for a while.

First of all, the three artifacts of the Seven-Star Sword, the Golden Rope, and the Red Gourd are a combination; together they are a sky full of stars, and apart they are trash.

If he took one of them, Kinkaku and Ginkaku's future days would not be easy, so Uchiha Gin directly passed these three.

Secondly, the Banana Fan; the bonus of the five-escape ninjutsu was useless to him. He was not short of mana or ninjutsu.

And in the later stages of fighting aliens, conventional escape techniques simply couldn't be brought to the table, so it was better to leave it to Kinkaku and Ginkaku, who had no means of attack, for self-defense!

"This one..."

After passing four artifacts in his heart, Uchiha Gin set his sights on the last jar, examining the ancient inscriptions on the bottle body, thoughtful.

This bottle was later snatched away by the Third Raikage. Instead of making it cheaper for that black brother who had killed ten thousand people, it was better to let him collect it in advance. It just so happened that he didn't have many sealing methods, and this treasure might have some miraculous effects.

"Have you chosen, Mr. Gin?"

Watching Uchiha Gin's eyebrows go from tangled to relaxed, and then tangled together again, until finally his gaze fell on the Amber Purifying Bottle.

"Hmm, let's take this bottle; it just so happens that I'm missing a vase for decoration at home."

Uchiha Gin pointed his finger at the Amber Purifying Bottle at the very end and said to Kinkaku with a smile.

"Is that all? Pick another one!"

He didn't expect Uchiha Gin to choose this one. Speaking of practicality, the Amber Purifying Bottle was the most useless artifact for the two brothers. After all, it required two hands to grab it, wouldn't that mean having one less weapon than others?

Kinkaku felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and his eyes looking at Uchiha Gin became even hotter.

Mr. Gin is really a kind and good person.

"No need, just take this one. The remaining four pieces, you two brothers take two each, just right."

Uchiha Gin shook his head, insisting on taking only one.

"Uh... alright."

Seeing Uchiha Gin so insistent, Kinkaku didn't twist anymore, immediately bit his thumb, wiped the blood on the scroll, and with a release seal in his hand, a burst of white smoke rose from the scroll.

The smoke dissipated, and a jar half a person tall appeared in front of Uchiha Gin. Kinkaku touched this artifact that their Hagoromo clan had worshipped for generations, a flash of reluctance in his eyes, which then turned into firmness.

The Hagoromo clan was almost gone, what was the use of holding onto these artifacts?

Kinkaku believed that as long as they were still alive, no matter where they were, the legend of the Hagoromo clan would continue.

"Thanks~"

Uchiha Gin took the Amber Purifying Bottle handed over by Kinkaku, put it into the blank scroll he carried with him, stuffed it into the bag behind him, clapped his hands, and prepared to say goodbye to the people of the Hagoromo clan.

"Mr. Gin, we have nothing now. To thank you for your help..."

Putting away the scroll containing other artifacts, Kinkaku's eyes had a faint light flickering, as if he remembered something. He suddenly spoke to stop Uchiha Gin, who was turning to leave.

Hearing this, Uchiha Gin's eyes changed, and he became vigilant.

Huh? Don't tell me you want to repay me with your body? No wonder I've always thought you brats looked so familiar. Now that I think about it, you look exactly like the leader of the G-Force.

My upright Uchiha Gin doesn't eat this set!

"I decided to tell you a secret passed down by our Hagoromo clan."

Kinkaku's eyes were full of determination, as if he had made a decision that went against his ancestors.

"Ah? Brother, that is..."

Ginkaku behind him, hearing his brother's words, had rare surprise on his gloomy face,

"Ginkaku, don't say it. Our Hagoromo clan is about to be exterminated; that secret is of no use to us anymore."

Kinkaku shook his head, interrupting his brother's next words.

Phew~ luckily he wasn't preparing to force a man to lock a man. If these two brothers used "man on man" on him, how would he deal with it!

"Tell me about it?"

However, the conversation between the two brothers also aroused Uchiha Gin's interest.

The secret of the Hagoromo clan in Kinkaku's mouth did not appear in the original work. Even the Hagoromo clan was only mentioned a few times in the original work and was never explored deeply.

"Mr. Gin, you also know that our Hagoromo clan is a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths."

Kinkaku said with a serious expression, a hint of pride in his eyes. They were descendants of the legendary Sage.

Tch! You're panting when you're called fat; who isn't a descendant of the Sage.

Uchiha Gin couldn't help but roll his dead fish eyes when he heard Kinkaku's boasting. Your big brother is here, the little brothers of the Hagoromo clan should still step aside.

"I don't need to repeat the legend of the Sage of Six Paths; these are all things known to the world."

Kinkaku, this brat, is still selling secrets; this doesn't match your character at all!

"Although the ancestors of our Hagoromo clan inherited the artifacts left by the Sage of Six Paths, how could the great Sage of Six Paths have only these few weapons."

Kinkaku shook his head and said with an intriguing look,

"Are there more artifacts?"

Uchiha Gin was "moderately" shocked, warming up the scene for Brother Kinkaku and creating an atmosphere.

Isn't it just the Box of Ultimate Bliss? That thing should be pressing down in the Land of Grass now.

Recalling the unlucky monster in the theatrical version, Uchiha Gin didn't want to touch the box that sounded like it was trembling at all.

"Before the Sage of Six Paths died, he left his sword in the Land of Sealing, and our Hagoromo clan is responsible for guarding that artifact."

It's not the Box of Ultimate Bliss?

Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow in surprise, and a glimmer of light burst out in his dead fish eyes. The sword of the Sage of Six Paths, could it be...

"According to the ancient records of our Hagoromo clan, it is an artifact called the Nunoboko Sword, which can host a strong longing for a wish on the sword, so it is also called the Sword of Wishes. Legend has it that the Sage of Six Paths created the world with this sword."

Kinkaku told Uchiha Gin about this secret that was almost mythical, like telling a story.

"Sounds pretty powerful, why didn't your Hagoromo clan take back that artifact?"

Kinkaku's words confirmed his guess. Uchiha Gin recalled the weapon wielded by Six Paths Obito in the original work.

It looked like a double helix structure, but its power was truly formidable. If Obito's will hadn't been wavering and he hadn't wanted to be the Hokage that even dogs wouldn't do, the Fourth War would have ended long ago.

"There is no way to take it back. It is said that except for the Sage of Six Paths himself, only descendants of the Six Paths whose Six Paths bloodline concentration is high enough are qualified to enter the Land of Sealing to see the style of the artifact, and it is not certain that they can take it out."

Kinkaku shook his head. Their Hagoromo clan was one of the descendants closest to the Six Paths bloodline, but even they had no one who could enter the Land of Sealing.

Good guy, it's still bloodline-bound?
