I remember you used to love eating them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gin looked at the old man with a sidelong glance, a flash of strange emotion passing through his lifeless dead fish eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, that was in the past.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the old man didn't eat it, he still put the lollipop away, then said with a beaming smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can save it for my grandson to eat; he turns a full month old tomorrow, so I'll invite you to the full-month feast then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is there another feast? How can a genin's salary afford this kind of eating? Forget it, I'll have to go catch a few cats again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gin scratched his bird's nest of curly hair and said with annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, remember to come then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, have you named your grandson yet? How about I help you name him? It'll definitely be easy to raise; how about 'Dog Egg'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man looked speechlessly at the man who was acting a bit crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's already been decided; his name is Minato.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gin, who had been rambling on about brainstorming names for the child, froze instantly upon hearing this name, and in a daze, something flashed through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong? Is it not a good name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly recalling the dazzling blonde hair the old man had in his youth, Gin felt relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nothing, just some dead memories attacking me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Gin raised his head, gazed at the two distinct rock carvings on the distant mountain peak, sighed, and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think your grandson has a unique bone structure; he is likely the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths and has the makings of a Hokage. He will surely achieve great things in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man was a bit puzzled upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you haven't even seen him yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I observed the stars at night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man paused, looked up at the scorching summer sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That star observation is truly blinding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he turned his head again, the man beside him had already vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, how many times has it been? Still leaving without saying goodbye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man shook his head and turned to tend to his shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, the man was still wandering aimlessly, his pair of dead fish eyes seemingly interested in nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Gin, the clan meeting is about to start; why are you still wandering here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a voice came, and a young black-haired man knelt behind Gin, speaking to him respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The clan leader isn't home, so what kind of clan meeting is this? To listen to that bunch of so-called elders spouting nonsense? I'd rather be wandering with that time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man known as Uchiha Gin picked his ear indifferently, seemingly sneering at such an important event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who came to notify him seemed to have expected this answer; he showed hesitation, his eyes filled with seven parts fear and three parts confusion, carefully organized his words, and said with some trepidation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please don't make it difficult for me; I'm only responsible for the notification, and whether you go or not is your freedom, but the Great Elder said you must remember that you are still an Uchiha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, he flashed away and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How incredibly boring. They really think that just because that hateful white-haired guy is gone, they can start acting up? This muddy water of Konoha is not something you straight-shooters can wade through. Why insist on fighting for the Hokage position that even dogs wouldn't want? Isn't it better to just lay flat with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the direction the other party left in, Uchiha Gin rolled his dead fish eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Hokage office beneath the Hokage Rock, smoke swirled, and a figure was hunched over, processing documents piled higher than a person, when suddenly someone pushed the door open and entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiruzen, I have received reliable news that the Uchiha clan is holding a secret meeting again today. I have already received the secret report on the general content; it is time to take action!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A handsome man in his thirties with an X-shaped scar on his chin slammed a document in front of the person currently processing files.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who was interrupted looked up, looked at his close friend with some speechlessness, and casually tossed the document into the trash can beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young Danzo widened his tiger eyes, almost unable to catch his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Danzo, don't put all your focus on the Uchiha clan right now. The village has finally ushered in a period of peace and is waiting to be rebuilt; at this time, there cannot be any major problems within the village.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage who had recently been entrusted with the position of Hokage in a time of crisis, smoked the cigarette in his hand while pacifying his close friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are a naturally evil clan; we must never let our guard down against them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shimura Danzo said viciously, but his heart was blooming with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehe, I finally caught them in the act!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the term \"naturally evil,\" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around vigilantly and hissed to signal the other party to stop talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reminded, Shimura Danzo seemed to realize what he had said, his expression somewhat unnatural, but he still retorted stubbornly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the Hokage now, are you still afraid of...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Afraid of what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the two were communicating, a lazy voice interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still afraid of that curly-haired dead fish-eyed... ah ah ah ah ah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interrupted Shimura Danzo had only said half a sentence following the question when he discovered in horror that a figure had been standing behind him at some point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Afraid of what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A-a-a-a-a handsome guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if thinking of something terrifying, Shimura Danzo replied, blushing and stammering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, isn't this little Tuan-Tuan? Long time no see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the answer, Uchiha Gin familiarly reached out to Shimura Danzo's shoulder and said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What have you been busy with lately? Still tinkering with that 'Root' of yours? Are you still recruiting? I'm a bit tight on cash lately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the panicked expression on Shimura Danzo's face after hearing this, Uchiha Gin patted his shoulder with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just kidding!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Monkey, I'm here to pick up a few D-rank missions. That little guy from the Namikaze family is already a grandfather and invited me to the full-month feast; I need to go make some money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin turned his head and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting at his desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen had an \"as expected\" expression and familiarly pulled several mission sheets from the drawer beside him and handed them to Uchiha Gin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're all prepared for you, but are you sure you don't want to take on more difficult missions? Your strength shouldn't...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What shouldn't? I'm just a genin, the No. 1 genin personally conferred by Hashirama. Don't you guys know what my strength is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having received the missions, Uchiha Gin happily flipped through the tasks in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are all pretty good. I'll be going then; you two best friends have fun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Uchiha Gin leave, Shimura Danzo let out a long sigh of relief and said with a heavy expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is he still like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarutobi Hiruzen, sitting in his seat, also relaxed, a trace of fear from the depths of his heart in his eyes, and his face changed to a solemn expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He still looks like he's thirty. It's been so many years; ever since you and I can remember, he seems to have been like this, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, he has never changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that that technique is really so magical?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them fell into deep thought; after all, there were only a few people who knew this technique, and they had no way to verify this question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the brain storage area~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first chapter is a prologue; the main story starts from the second chapter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first chapter is a prologue; the main story starts from the second chapter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first chapter is a prologue; the main story starts from the second chapter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Important things must be said three times~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1580,"2026-06-25T11:57:15.904Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","9e6d3740507c50dfed1a9a42b69d3edd4eb986426ad68a2027e64e8f42ee8803","konoha-the-thirty-year-old-uchiha-has-no-motivat-chapter-3","konoha-the-thirty-year-old-uchiha-has-no-motivat-chapter-1",603,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkonoha-the-thirty-year-old-uchiha-has-no-motivat-cover.jpg"]
