And what does that have to do with the Hagoromo clan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news of Butsuma Senju’s death from illness had not been concealed by the Senju clan; on the contrary, there was an implication that they had spread it themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current contraction of the Senju clan’s battle lines was, in part, to return and mourn their deceased clan leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, thinking about it now, Uchiha Gin felt that something was faintly amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had come face-to-face with Butsuma Senju once; at the time, that guy was as strong as an ox, and he had never heard of him having any hidden ailments. As a member of the Senju clan, who possessed such vigorous vitality, how could he have simply died of illness after only a few years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Butsuma Senju did not die of illness, but was ambushed and killed by the Hagoromo clan leader in league with several elders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Tajima narrowed his eyes and stated this secret in a flat tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are the guys from the Hagoromo clan that fierce?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin was completely stunned upon hearing this revelation. In his impression, the people of the Hagoromo clan were quite mediocre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had slightly better talent for ninjutsu, but not as strong as the Uchiha clan; they had a tiny bit more chakra, but couldn't compare to the Uzumaki clan; their physical strength was a little better, but they still couldn't beat the Senju clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A balanced, half-baked clan like this actually managed to drag down one of the few people standing at the pinnacle of the Land of Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s confirmed: they are true \"water ghosts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There was no other way. The employer was pressing too hard from behind. In order to continue to have a foothold in the Land of Fire, the Hagoromo clan had no choice but to bring out their ancestral magical treasure, a ninja tool, just to be able to kill Butsuma Senju and boost the clan's prestige.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magical treasure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these two words, Uchiha Gin instantly perked up. He hadn't heard of such a thing since he was reincarnated, so he immediately raised his hand and asked with a curious look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is said to be a ninja tool left behind by the Sage of Six Paths, which the Hagoromo clan has worshipped in their ancestral hall for generations, and is only brought out when the clan encounters a great catastrophe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Uchiha Tajima finished speaking, a flash of wariness crossed his eyes. Being able to kill Butsuma Senju, who was his equal, meant that the Hagoromo clan’s magical treasure was definitely not simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, this generation's Hagoromo clan leader does not have a very pure bloodline; there are only four whisker marks on his face, making it somewhat difficult to activate the Six Paths ninja tool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Tajima continued to tell Uchiha Gin about the secrets of the great clans. Hearing the term \"whisker marks\" for the first time, he frowned, recalling the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers who appeared in the original work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those two guys had six whisker marks on their faces, exactly the same as the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki. He had originally thought it was due to the influence of the Nine-Tails' chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the original work mentioned that they already had the whisker marks before they obtained the Nine-Tails' chakra. Does this indirectly prove that the two of them were descendants of the Hagoromo clan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the magical treasure worshipped by the Hagoromo clan—could it be those very items that appeared in the Fourth Great Ninja War?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that those ninja tools can only be used by people of the Hagoromo clan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin thought of the Six Paths ninja tools that were still used by others after the reanimated Kinkaku and Ginkaku were sealed, and asked aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not necessarily. Ninja tools are, after all, just tools. If someone without the Hagoromo clan's bloodline uses them, they must pay the price of a massive amount of chakra.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That makes sense. That little black prison in the Hidden Cloud Village, and Tenten who eats buns, had both used those ninja tools, which means bloodline support is not strictly necessary to use them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even with such a massive mobilization, the Hagoromo clan still failed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Tajima’s gaze shifted slightly as he continued to speak to Uchiha Gin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that battle, the Hagoromo clan basically poured out their entire force. Although they severely wounded Butsuma Senju, they also suffered heavy losses themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many against one, and they still got counter-killed? Do they even know how to play?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Butsuma Senju was not alone. At the time, his eldest son, Hashirama Senju, was by his side. It was that guy who turned the tide of the battle at the critical moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A twenty-year-old Hashirama is that fierce?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the bowl-cut kid in his memories, that brat took off in just a few short years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That ninjutsu you have performed, Hashirama Senju can also use.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Tajima looked at the shocked Uchiha Gin with a scrutinizing gaze and slowly said this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calculating the time, Hashirama Senju should have just about realized Wood Release. The original work didn't write much about the Warring States period, and there were only a few sparse scenes regarding the changes in the strength of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the period when the two fought, the young Hashirama Senju was already able to skillfully use Wood Release ninjutsu to battle Madara Uchiha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly worthy of being the 'Thieving Senju.' Do I have to go and collect royalties from that guy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin touched his curly hair and said with an indignant look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let's not talk about that ninjutsu for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Tajima waved his hand, signaling not to delve into this matter for the time being. After all, this was his nephew whom he had watched grow up; although there was a tendency for him to go astray, he was absolutely trustworthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When Butsuma Senju was on the verge of death, his son used that ninjutsu of yours to suck the ambushing Hagoromo clan members dry until they were like human husks. Only a few escaped in the chaos, and the Hagoromo clan leader, at the last moment before his death, used a reverse summoning to send the Six Paths ninja tools back to the clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished recounting the entire process of this secret battle, Uchiha Tajima looked at the frowning Uchiha Gin and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now the Senju clan is acting like they've gone mad, searching everywhere for traces of the Hagoromo clan. Led by that white-haired brat you've seen, they have sworn to wipe the Hagoromo clan from this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That naturally evil white-haired brat, damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Tobirama Senju leading, I'm afraid this Hagoromo clan won't live to see the gates of the Hidden Leaf Village. Just a moment ago, I was thinking about letting them survive for another dozen years or so. This is great—if they really go there when the Hidden Leaf is founded, won't they get a Wood Dragon to the face and a Thousand-Armed Buddha clapping them to death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This mission is indeed a bit difficult!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being surrounded and slaughtered by the entire Senju clan, the current situation of the Hagoromo clan is truly precarious, especially given that their able-bodied adults have been exhausted; those women, children, and the elderly are just meat on the chopping block, to be handled at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Uncle, then couldn't we...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin curled his lips into a strange arc, looked at Uchiha Tajima in front of him with a sinister expression, and made a throat-slitting gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand what you mean, but it's unnecessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that Uchiha Tajima hadn't thought about taking advantage of the fire to loot and claim the Hagoromo clan's treasures for himself, but he had personally tested the effects of those Six Paths ninja tools and felt there was no need to plunder them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have seen the Hagoromo clan's Six Paths ninja tools. When we use them, they are just a burden; not only do they consume a massive amount of chakra, but the true power of those magical treasures cannot be activated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, when it comes to things that can annoy the Senju clan, we Uchiha are duty-bound. Whatever the Senju clan wants to do, we will make sure they don't succeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can't tell, Old Uncle is quite a sentimental person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, that means...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin, holding the map, finally realized. Could it be that this arduous task is to... ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, this matter is left to you. I hope you do it beautifully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Tajima smiled and nodded, his eyes filled with the words \"I believe in you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But my strength...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin, who wanted nothing more than to slack off, immediately brought up his usual excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem, you will go with Uchiha Guang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Tajima, who knew the girl's name, no longer referred to Uchiha Guang as \"the nameless one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was just worried that your strength was insufficient, so I arranged a super-strong support for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Tajima was very satisfied with his arrangement. The trustworthy Uchiha Gin and Uchiha Guang, whose strength was slightly inferior to his (?), made for a seamless combination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combination of the strongest brain (questionable) and the strongest power—this transfer mission should be a piece of cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I refuse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin rushed over, grabbed his uncle’s thigh, and said with snot and tears,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm the only seedling in our family. Not only am I thirty and unmarried, but I'm also a pure virgin. Please, can you send someone else!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Tajima, his eye twitching as he looked at the filth on his pants, kicked Uchiha Gin away in a rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I dodge~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the bitter-meat tactic was useless, Uchiha Gin nimbly sidestepped, dodging his uncle’s resentful blow. He instantly straightened his appearance, rubbed the map in his hand, rolled his eyes, and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since it's a mission, what is the reward?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reward is simple: you can choose one of the Hagoromo clan's Six Paths ninja tools, and you will receive a promise from the Hagoromo clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a cold face, Uchiha Tajima wiped the sticky filth off his leg with paper—it seemed these pants were ruined. He looked up and stated the reward for the Hagoromo clan mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No money?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piece of utterly useless Six Paths ninja tool and an ethereal promise—is that enough to make the Uchiha clan risk getting involved in this muddy water?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Hagoromo clan's territory has already been occupied by the Senju clan, and their money has long since gone into their pockets. Now, only a group of the old, weak, sick, and young are left wandering outside, waiting to be transferred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the plight of the Hagoromo clan, Uchiha Tajima expressed a hint of sympathy; after all, they were all fighting the Senju, so he could empathize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, the Hagoromo clan leader and I have a history. I will do my best to fulfill his dying wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for Uchiha Tajima serving as the clan leader, the Hagoromo clan would definitely have been kicked out by his cousin. After all, his cousin only had eyes for Hashirama; the Hagoromo clan? Never heard of them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin sighed, put away the map in his hand, and said to Uchiha Tajima before him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I will accept this mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Tajima, who had expected to spend some effort persuading him, looked at his nephew in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This lazy guy would actually accept such a thankless task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Uchiha Tajima had considered doing this mission himself and letting his eldest son take over the clan's affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, he would retire and yield his position, moving behind the scenes to offer advice to his son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he hadn't expected that Hashirama Senju's new power would emerge out of nowhere. Madara Uchiha, who was originally his equal on the battlefield, was being suppressed by the opponent's new ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made his eldest son somewhat obsessed; he only thought about training all day long and couldn't focus on the clan's affairs, only on power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no help for it; he had to postpone his plan to retire and pick up the clan's affairs again, letting his eldest son have a buffer period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, because of this, he couldn't get away now and could only entrust this confidential mission to a trusted clansman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just so, during the mission to unseal Uchiha Hikari, Uchiha Gin, who had shone brilliantly, entered his field of vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not expected that this usually unreliable nephew of his would erupt with such strength after recovering his memories; it truly caught him by surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he took this opportunity to have him take Uchiha Hikari out for some rehabilitation, and while at it, test the depth of this kid; he always felt that this nephew of his still had a side he knew nothing about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected of my good nephew!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Tian Dao made the decision on the spot and promised with absolute certainty,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll leave this mission to you; if you need anything, just ask! If your uncle blinks even once, he's not a real man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After I return, I want to retire to my hometown and become a Sword God of Ten Mile Slope~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today is the last day of the holiday; I drove all day and my head is spinning, but I gritted my teeth and finished writing before twelve o'clock, so my perfect attendance is saved~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2338,"2026-06-25T11:57:15.904Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","499a8eb200f3495f9bcdaf2c6a48bfd6a039149bc0e84bd377f53acdf4b8c0a6","konoha-the-thirty-year-old-uchiha-has-no-motivat-chapter-158","konoha-the-thirty-year-old-uchiha-has-no-motivat-chapter-156",603,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkonoha-the-thirty-year-old-uchiha-has-no-motivat-cover.jpg"]
