Is it possible that Mother is the one who is sick?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two tomoe swirled slowly in her scarlet eyes, making the purple-haired young lady's teeth ache, and she immediately cast a pleading look toward Uchiha Gin, who was watching the show from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having spent years together and knowing the usual temperaments of this mother-daughter pair, Uchiha Gin shook his head helplessly, stood up, and stopped the dark-state Uchiha Jiri.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, you two stop messing around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin had never considered taking on an apprentice; after all, he was used to being lazy, and the sudden addition of another layer of bonds made him feel a bit out of his element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Uchiha Jiri was someone he had watched grow up since she was small, and the girl's visible talent was by no means inferior to his two cousins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you aren't worried about a bright pearl being covered in dust, then let Jiri take me as her master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up, Jiri, why aren't you paying respects to your master yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Uchiha Gin's words, Uchiha Yumi, who had been in pain, suddenly beamed with joy, easily brushed away the small hand that had been clamping down on her head, and said with a giggle to the stunned Uchiha Jiri,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Gin, you don't have to feel troubled, Mother's words...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young girl looked at her own hands in confusion; she had really used force, so how did her mother break free so easily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to figure it out, Uchiha Jiri tilted her head and said to Uchiha Gin with an apologetic look,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am serious, little Jiri. Your talent is very strong. With proper guidance, you will definitely become one of the top people in the clan in time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lazy aura that usually permeated Uchiha Gin vanished; with his serious face, he looked like a different person, full of reliability, his dead-fish eyes now shining with spirit, and he gave Uchiha Jiri a rare, high evaluation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-haired girl closed her mouth upon hearing this, her usually calm eyes flickering with complex light; how could she not want to receive guidance from others?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her father had passed away early, the training scrolls he left behind had long been worn out from her reading them, and her mother was too busy struggling for a living to pay attention to her training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One couldn't just enter the clan's training grounds whenever one wanted, and a girl whose life was already strained had neither the time nor the money to spend all day there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that an opportunity was placed before her, looking at this man who held a special place in her heart, the girl felt a trace of hesitation; if she became his apprentice, wouldn't that mean...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think I'm not good enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the girl's hesitation, Uchiha Gin rolled up his sleeves to show Uchiha Jiri his strong biceps, held up a straight thumb, and his snow-white teeth shone brightly under the glaring sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your uncle here is actually very strong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh... can I refuse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Uchiha Gin, who had transformed into an Uchiha beast, a trace of disdain flashed in the girl's eyes; is it really okay to have a master like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin is very strong, don't miss out on this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Izuna, having finished his shaved ice, licked his spoon, still wanting more, and turned his gaze to the silent girl, unable to help but remind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Cousin took an apprentice, wouldn't he have no time to come and bother him! Must make this happen, must make this happen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izuna was eager to find something for Uchiha Gin to do, otherwise, that guy would be bored and come to torment him every few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, I cannot see through Cousin's strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Madara, who had been silent, also added fuel to the fire, holding the same thought as Izuna, and coldly spoke up to vouch for Uchiha Gin; he didn't want to face that strange tentacle technique Uchiha Gin used again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did these two brats change their tune today? They usually always went against him, so why did they learn to speak for him now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that visiting more often is the right thing to do; they can still be useful at critical moments. Truly brotherly love, it seems the frequency of visits should be increased in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two brothers who had just finished speaking suddenly felt a chill down their backs, thinking it was because they had eaten too much shaved ice, but when they looked up and saw Uchiha Gin's gratified smile, their expressions froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cousin! We didn't mean that, don't misunderstand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, under the witness of everyone, Uchiha Jiri and Uchiha Gin held a simple apprenticeship ceremony on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Gin... no, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl with a complex expression raised her head and changed her form of address for Uchiha Gin, who was sitting in the seat of honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to be so formal, little Jiri, just call me Mr. Gin. I've been used to it for so many years, it feels weird to be called Master all of a sudden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the girl call him Master, several indescribable images flashed through Uchiha Gin's mind; he quickly dispelled these strange thoughts and let Uchiha Jiri continue using her previous address.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Mr. Gin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she had already taken him as her master, the girl naturally complied with \"reasonable\" requests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm also taking an apprentice for the first time, I don't have much experience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin scratched his head; he had taken little Jiri as an apprentice on impulse. It seemed that in the novels he had read, a master should give the apprentice some treasure when taking them on, so he immediately shoved his hand into his system inventory to grope around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I've become little Jiri's master, I can't go without giving a gift. I see you don't have a handy weapon, here, take this short blade as a meeting gift!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin fumbled in his inventory for a long time, finally pulled out a weapon he had used before, thought for a moment, and handed it to the bewildered Uchiha Jiri.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, where did Mr. Gin pull such a big thing out from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Uchiha Jiri could be astonished by Uchiha Gin's four-dimensional chrysanthemum, the moment she touched the weapon he handed over, she felt the violent lightning-style chakra contained within the unremarkable gray short blade, which made her small hand go slightly numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Statikk Shiv] Deals extra lightning-style damage and breaks defense after attacking the target 3 times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just make do with this short blade for now, I'll give you something better once I loot better items.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin looked at the electric blade in the girl's hand with dissatisfaction; this thing was too ugly and didn't suit little Jiri at all, but he didn't have any better equipment on hand for the moment. He would change it for her once he farmed some good gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, thank you, Mr. Gin, I like it very much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the electric blade in her arms, the manic lightning within the short blade made this girl, who had always lacked a sense of security, feel very at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stroking the weapon Uchiha Gin had gifted her, the girl revealed a relieved smile and said to Uchiha Gin,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does this weapon have a name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... I usually call it the Electric Blade. It doesn't sound very imposing, why don't you give it a new name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A weapon that even dogs wouldn't use on the chessboard, what kind of name does it need!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, I'll call it the Sword of the Thunder God.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl gripped the short blade, golden lightning appeared around her body, her long purple hair fluttered without wind, and she was enveloped in golden light, as if the Thunder God had descended to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wielding the crackling electric blade, the usually cold girl rarely displayed the expressions that a girl of her age should have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well done, you white-haired brat, so you were plagiarizing my ideas!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin gritted his teeth, watching the girl rename the electric blade, and thinking of a future white-haired guy holding a crudely made \"Sword of the Thunder God\" to piggyback off his electric blade, he felt a surge of anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph, don't let me run into you, brat, or I'll show you why the flowers are so red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, Cousin! Felicitations, Cousin! After all these years, you've finally found a beloved apprentice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Izuna offered his blessings at the right time, while his eyes stared straight at the electric blade in the girl's hand, his drool almost flowing out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Uchiha Madara, who was on the side, although surprised by the strange ninja tool in the girl's hand, was destined to use a war fan and had no desire for other weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This thing is useless for you, brat. I'll give you something else when I return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could naturally see the hunger in his little cousin's eyes, but this type of weapon was not suitable for him. Uchiha Gin remembered the future scenes clearly; Izuna's top priority right now was to protect his kidneys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, thank you, big Cousin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving Uchiha Gin's affirmative answer, a big smile bloomed on Izuna's face; that familiar appearance was exactly like a cheerful Sasuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's getting late, we should go back and continue training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Madara saw that the time was right, stood up, and pulled Izuna, preparing to take his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey? Big Cousin, you haven't paid yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin saw Uchiha Madara preparing to slip away and reminded him with a smile in his eyes. The price for losing the match to him earlier was to treat everyone to shaved ice; he didn't expect his thick-browed, big-eyed big cousin to be this kind of person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're all family now, do we still need to be so clear about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Madara was silent for a moment, looking at Uchiha Jiri, who was excitedly waving the short blade, and replied with an inexplicable tone; this excuse was too stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, bring out the stature of a clan head. The head of the Uchiha clan wouldn't rely on his status to eat without paying, would he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow and teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing there was no escape, Uchiha Madara had no choice but to silently take out his purse, put down a few banknotes, and then turned and left, taking the bewildered little cousin with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, this guy~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin shook his head helplessly. This big cousin wasn't being stingy or trying to skip the bill, but rather felt that he still had ways to turn the tables in that match and hadn't truly lost to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Jiri, it's very unfortunate, but I've just accepted an outside mission, so we'll have to talk about your training when I get back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his two cousins leave, Uchiha Gin turned his head and poured a bucket of cold water on the enthusiastic girl; he indeed had a mission on hand and no time to teach her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, we do indeed have a mission to go out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Hikari, who had been silent on the side, spoke up at this moment, looking at Uchiha Jiri with eyes no longer filled with guard; she's already an apprentice, what kind of trouble could she possibly cause me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehe, the advantage is with me again this time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2040,"2026-06-25T11:57:15.904Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","27fa66648304d2ed4cf019cffbfeb4220df9c5fd3d7ed898b6a9a7d2de5800c3","konoha-the-thirty-year-old-uchiha-has-no-motivat-chapter-161","konoha-the-thirty-year-old-uchiha-has-no-motivat-chapter-159",603,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkonoha-the-thirty-year-old-uchiha-has-no-motivat-cover.jpg"]
