Chapter 224

Because Konoha at this time was still in the founding stage, in the not-so-large village, any slight disturbance would attract nearby onlookers to stop and watch. As soon as the accident on Uchiha Gin's side happened, the already narrow street was instantly packed.

Onlookers on the outside who didn't know the situation were curiously standing on tiptoes, wanting to see what was happening inside, while those inside who were watching with great interest were making tsking sounds, making the people on the periphery feel like their hearts were being scratched by a cat, secretly hating themselves for not having learned Earth Style: Subterranean Voyage, otherwise they could have squeezed into the front row to watch the show.

"What happened?"

People on the periphery who couldn't see the live broadcast curiously tapped the shoulders of the people in the front row and asked.

"I don't know~ I just got here too!"

The person asked touched his head helplessly. In the time it took him to go out to buy soy sauce, he had been squeezed into the middle of the crowd, stuck between men. His barbecue shop had just been repaired, and there were still a lot of things to deal with in the shop.

"I heard it's a shameless Uchiha bullying a child on the street, caught red-handed by the security team, and it even alarmed Lord Tobirama."

A man with a style very characteristic of the Senju turned his head and spread the truth of the matter to the onlookers behind him who didn't know the truth.

"Pah! Despicable Senju, it was clearly that person who wanted to frame our Uchiha clansman, and after being exposed, he became angry from embarrassment, and both sides started fighting, which is why the security team was called. As for Senju Tobirama coming, he just wants to take the opportunity to suppress our Uchiha clan!"

In the row in front, a black-haired man wearing a high-collared windbreaker heard someone spreading rumors and immediately turned his head, launching a fierce output at that Senju clansman.

"Stop arguing, Lord Tobirama seems to be arguing with that Uchiha. Holy crap, Lord Tobirama drew his blade! Oh my god, how could that Uchiha dodge it?"

"To be able to fight Senju Tobirama to a standstill, he must be an expert of our Uchiha clan. Hurry up and tell me, who is that Uchiha? Is it the Clan Head, or Lord Izuna?"

Upon hearing that the Senju and Uchiha were fighting, the crowd behind became instantly excited. One by one, they stood on tiptoes, craning their necks, wanting to see the wonderful battle happening in the middle clearly. The Uchiha clansmen who couldn't see anything couldn't help but pull the people in front and ask loudly.

"I'm a Senju, why would I know your Uchiha? But that guy isn't your Clan Head."

As a frontline intelligence officer, this innocent Senju was pulled around, but he still insisted on broadcasting the situation at the front line one by one.

"Then who could it be? Could it be one of the elders?"

"You guys should be easy to recognize, that guy has curly hair..."

"Curly hair? Disperse, disperse, it's Uchiha Gin~"

The Uchiha clansmen, who were originally very excited, rolled their eyes in unison upon hearing that the person in the middle was Uchiha Gin. Any young person who grew up in the Uchiha clan territory had a significant childhood trauma regarding a certain curly-haired person.

"It's Gin, then I'm relieved~"

The honest man carrying soy sauce looked back at the human wall, smiled, and then left.

During the dozen or so years that Uchiha Gin was active, countless Uchiha boys and girls were humiliated by him. Even now, recalling those unbearable past events, these Uchiha youths in the prime of their lives would subconsciously clench their butts, feeling a burning phantom pain.

"If it's Uchiha Gin, then it's definitely true. I didn't expect that after so many years, that pervert still likes to bully children."

The Uchiha youth, still having lingering fears, had black eyes filled with terror for a certain person. He couldn't care about bickering with the Senju clan and fled the crowd like the wind, staying far away from his childhood nightmare.

For a time, the news that the person involved was Uchiha Gin spread on the periphery, and many Uchiha youths turned and fled with pale faces. From the posture of them running away while holding their butts, it could be seen that they were definitely in a hurry.

"Did these Uchiha have collective food poisoning?"

The Senju clansmen who didn't understand the value of the childhood nightmare all had puzzled expressions, thinking that these Uchiha had eaten unclean fried chicken with snail noodles during their clan meeting, leading to a collective poisoning accident.

At the end of the street, two tall figures walked slowly. Senju Itama, who had things on his mind, found his best friend for life when he had nowhere to confide. The two agreed to go shopping and talk about their feelings.

"Huh, why are there so many people gathered over there? Itama, let's go take a look!"

With a quiet smile in her eyes, Uchiha Jiri pulled the absent-minded Senju Itama along the newly established commercial street. Suddenly seeing the bustling crowd in the distance, a trace of curiosity flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she turned to ask Senju Itama beside her.

"Uh... alright."

Senju Itama, who was suddenly called, was stunned for a moment and replied casually.

"This big brother, what happened in front? Why are you all in such a hurry? Is there some emergency?"

Uchiha Jiri stopped an Uchiha clansman with an ugly expression, frowned her delicate little brows, and asked softly.

"Uh... I advise you not to get involved, hurry up and leave~"

This clansman obviously didn't recognize Uchiha Jiri. After seeing the conspicuous fan on her body, he kindly advised her and then fled while holding his butt.

"It really makes one curious, Itama, let's go~"

The less said, the more curious one became. As a gossip princess, the gossip fire in Uchiha Jiri's eyes was burning fiercely. Anxious, she grabbed the absent-minded Senju Itama and became a retrograde in the fleeing Uchiha crowd.

"This big brother, what's the scoop? Share it with me~"

Uchiha Jiri took two steps in one and rushed to the outside of the crowd, which had shrunk by more than half. She poked a strange ninja with a round body in front of her and asked with a smile.

"The melon is mine, I won't let you eat it!"

Before the poked man could turn his head, a clueless voice came from above his head first. Uchiha Jiri looked up curiously,

Only then did she discover that a round little boy was riding on the man's neck. There were two blushes on his cheeks, which were puffed up from eating, and a few black melon seeds were stuck on them. He had already eaten more than half of the watermelon in his hand and was currently looking at the two women vigilantly, fearing they would snatch his snacks.

"Torifu, Dad taught you that one must be generous when dealing with people, don't be so stingy."

The round man turned his head this time. His round face had a kind smile. He first criticized his son and then said to Uchiha Jiri,

"Sorry, my son is ignorant. Let this melon be an apology for Torifu's rudeness."

As he spoke, the man took a large watermelon from the bag in his hand and handed it over, his eyes filled with sincere apology.

"Wow~ such a big watermelon..."

"No need, children speak without thinking. Please, big brother, tell us what happened in front?"

Looking at the huge watermelon in front of her, Uchiha Jiri, who was very strict with her body management, pinched the drooling Senju Itama and refused with a smile, then asked again what happened.

"Uh... at first, it was Xianyi and his son from the Shimura clan who had a conflict with an Uchiha clansman, and ended up being taught a lesson. Although the Konoha security team came, it seems that both sides were dissatisfied with the mediation result. Later, Sarutobi Sasuke came forward to mediate, but unexpectedly, his son also suffered a disaster. Just when the two were confronting each other, Senju Tobirama descended from the sky..."

The round man, while recalling, spoke and told the whole story of the event in detail.

"Who is this Uchiha a subordinate of? He is so fierce!"

After hearing the summary of the event, Uchiha Jiri's eyes shone with curiosity. Being relatively concerned about current affairs, she had naturally heard of the names Shimura Xianyi and Sarutobi Sasuke.

She also knew that these families came here to inspect Konoha on the spot and prepare for joining. She didn't expect that they would be beaten up on the street by an unknown Uchiha. If Senju Tobirama didn't handle it properly, then these families preparing to join, as well as those still watching, would question the justice and peace that Konoha promoted.

"Uh... I'm also a newcomer to this precious land, so I don't know that Uchiha..."

The round man scratched his head awkwardly and answered embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I'll ask others~"

Uchiha Jiri expressed understanding for this kind outsider, then waved her hand with a smile, preparing to take Itama and find another target.

"Hiccup~ I know! Those people who ran away just now said that guy is called Uchiha Gin!"

Just as the two women were about to leave, Akimichi Torifu, sitting on his father's shoulder, hiccuped, wiped his mouth, and broke the news.

"Nani? Mr. Gin?"

"Curly-haired baboon?"

Hearing this, the two women paused, then turned to look at Akimichi Torifu, who looked satisfied, and asked.

"You didn't hear wrong?"

"Definitely not, my ears are very good. Those people also said something like 'curly hair'~"

Patting his round little belly, Akimichi Torifu said with a smile.

"No, Lord Tobirama is there, Mr. Gin is afraid he will suffer!"

Uchiha Jiri, who was concerned about her master, had a flash of scarlet in her eyes, and thick cold power overflowed, making the round man startled. Looking at the purple-haired girl who was harmless just now, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva and continued to say,

"I heard that after Senju Tobirama said a few words to that Uchiha, they started fighting. I don't know the result now, you..."

"Thank you. Itama, don't move here, I'll be right back!"

Opening her scarlet eyes, Uchiha Jiri, with a cold face, nodded to the round man to show her gratitude, then gave a few instructions to Senju Itama, who looked guilty, and immediately flew over the crowd, rushing towards the scene of the incident.

"Mr. Gin, you must hold on!"

"Can you swear to heaven that what you just said is true?"

Senju Tobirama, who was used to crossing his arms, looked sharply at the hateful curly-haired guy who was bragging in front of him. A killing intent that was almost tangible was brewing in his body. He asked in an extremely cold tone, his ten fingers tense, ready to release a fatal blow at any time.

This was the last chance he gave Uchiha Gin, hoping the other party could grasp it.

"Huh? What do you mean by that look? Do you think I'm lying?"

Suddenly questioned, Uchiha Gin was confused. Clearly, not long ago, the two had a very friendly discussion about Uchiha Kagami's education problem. How did Senju Tobirama become like a Sichuan opera master in the blink of an eye, changing his face for him? Greatly puzzled, he asked back.

"Don't play dumb with me, answer quickly!"

Senju Tobirama, thinking that his cute and well-behaved sister had been humiliated and toyed with by this beastly Uchiha for so many years, felt the regret and anger in his heart soar to the peak instantly. Fearing he wouldn't be able to control himself, he gritted his teeth and issued an ultimatum.

"Hey, I, Uchiha Gin, nicknamed the Honest Young Master, have no half-sentence of falsehood. If there is any adulteration..."

Thinking that Senju Tobirama was seeking justice for the Shimura and Sarutobi clans, Uchiha Gin immediately stated that he just liked playing with children. This white-haired guy didn't even bother to ask around how good his reputation was among Uchiha children, everyone was willing to play with him.

"Flying Thunder God Slash! Die!"

Unexpectedly, before Uchiha Gin finished speaking, Senju Tobirama in front of him instantly turned into a silver lightning bolt and disappeared from the spot, making his chrysanthemum tighten.

Is it worth it? Just for a Danzo and a monkey, you want to kill me? You don't even look at what they will ruin Konoha into in the future~

"Tsk!"

Uchiha Gin sensed the aura that suddenly appeared behind him, gave a dark tsk, controlled his little waist, twisted to the left, and dodged Senju Tobirama's habitual "Steal Kidney Slash".

"Flying Thunder God Second Stage Slash!"

Senju Tobirama, slightly surprised, didn't have time to think about why Uchiha Gin could dodge his attack so narrowly. His blade turned, and he came for another Flying Thunder God Slash.

"We are all adults, can't we sit down and talk calmly?"

Looking at Senju Tobirama coming from the front again, Uchiha Gin sighed in his heart, then twisted his little waist to the right, and dodged this attack again by a hair's breadth.

"Ignore the big principles, the accelerator is stepped to the bottom..."

Facing the long blade waved by Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Gin, who was calm, even had time to hum a little tune. The cheerful tune made the white-haired guy, who had been locking his target on two bright red big kidneys, have his blood rush up, almost unable to hold the blade in his hand.

"Don't ask me why oh why~~~~~"

Uchiha Gin, humming a little tune, followed the cheerful rhythm, enchantingly twisting his water-snake waist, dodging Senju Tobirama's "Steal Kidney Slash" again and again, narrowly and narrowly.

"Filthy Uchiha old man!"

Senju Tobirama, furious, looked at the comfortable Uchiha Gin, stopped the long blade in his hand, put his hands together, and prepared to release his signature Water Style, determined to cut this filthy Uchiha in two and see if the middle was yellow.

"Mr. Gin, be careful!"

Senju Tobirama, who was condensing thick water-attribute chakra in his mouth and preparing to release Water Severing Wave, was suddenly interrupted by a purple figure. Uchiha Jiri, with an anxious face, descended from the sky, holding an inconspicuous gray short sword, blocking in front of Uchiha Gin, looking at the white-haired guy who was ready to strike with a guarded face.

"Hmph~ consider your life saved."

Uchiha Jiri's appearance made Senju Tobirama's overloaded brain recover a bit of clarity. He stopped his movements and recalled his impulsive behavior just now. He couldn't help but frown, wondering why he had become so irritable.

"Senju Tobirama, if you want to attack Mr. Gin, pass me first!"

A burst of thunder sounded faintly on the gray short sword in her hand. Looking at Senju Tobirama, who had an unhappy face in front of her, Uchiha Jiri said coldly.

"Little Jiri, it's just a small scene, Master can handle it~"

It really is a case of seeing true feelings in adversity. This disciple of his was truly worth taking in. Uchiha Gin, protected behind Uchiha Jiri, couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion. He patted the girl's shoulder and comforted her. Looking at Senju Tobirama, his eyes carried a strange color. He seemed to have smelled the scent of an acquaintance~

"Hey! Who is it? Is there any quality?"

In the crowd watching the show, a gap was suddenly torn open. Several burly Senju men were casually pushed aside by a tall figure. The annoyed Senju clansmen complained one after another that the person was unreasonable, but since they were no match for the other party, they could only retreat resentfully.

"Why is the curly-haired baboon fighting with Second Brother? Didn't they say the two families shook hands and made peace?"

In the crowd, a black-and-white head emerged. Senju Itama, with a puzzled face, looked at the three people confronting each other in the field and said worriedly, his eyes overflowing with struggle. Facing this situation, she really couldn't choose.

"Uchiha Gin, I originally thought you were a rare anomaly among the Uchiha, but I didn't expect you to be just the same."

Senju Tobirama, who had calmed down, stared at Uchiha Gin with his scarlet eyes, feeling extremely sad in his heart, regretting that he hadn't gotten rid of this curly-haired evil root earlier, letting his sister be humiliated by him.

"You white-haired guy, I was just teasing these two little brats. Is it worth getting so angry? I've already cured them, guaranteeing not only recovery as before, but also a step up."

Not expecting Senju Tobirama to be so angry, Uchiha Gin, who felt he might have played a bit too much, scratched his curly hair and explained with a guilty conscience. Then he pointed to the two little brats who had already pulled up their pants, his voice resonant.

"Danzo, Hiruzen, are you really okay?"

Just now, everyone present was attracted by the appearance of Senju Tobirama and didn't pay attention to the two victims. Hearing Uchiha Gin's explanation, Sarutobi Sasuke, who was greatly puzzled, turned his head to ask about the situation of the two children.

"Hmph~ it clearly still hurts~"

Little Danzo pulled up his pants and didn't recognize anyone, holding his slightly upturned little butt, and retorted.

"Uh... it seems it's really okay, and..."

Compared to Danzo who was complaining, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was holding his crotch, looked at his father with a strange face.

"Holy crap, why is it so big..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, under his father's puzzled gaze, pulled open his pants and let him take a look at his private parts, which was exchanged for an exclamation of envy.

This Uchiha might be a good person.

After checking his son's private parts, Sarutobi Sasuke's face showed a strange color. In his eyes looking at Uchiha Gin, there was no longer the hatred from just now, but instead, it carried a bit of gratitude, and a trace of imperceptible pleading.

"Lord Tobirama, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. This gentleman of the Uchiha clan might really just be playing with my son~"

Sarutobi Sasuke, who had gained an unexpected joy, stood in front of Uchiha Gin and said with a serious face to Senju Tobirama, who had a cold face.

"Sasuke? What do you mean? I just got beaten for nothing?"

Uchiha Gin only treated the two little brats. Shimura Xianyi, who was the fuse, didn't have this treatment. Dragging his scarred body, he asked his good friend with an unbelievable face.

"Shut up! It must be that you were at fault first, which is why this gentleman gave you a slight punishment. I didn't expect that not only did you not reflect, but you are also spouting nonsense here. It really damages the face of our Ninja Clan Alliance!"

Sarutobi Sasuke, who knew his good friend's character well, immediately staged a scene of destroying relatives for righteousness, scolding Shimura Xianyi, who was stunned, and almost pressed his head to kowtow to Uchiha Gin.

"Now it's no longer just a matter of your Ninja Clan Alliance. This guy and I still have other problems to solve."

Senju Tobirama glanced at Sarutobi Sasuke, whose attitude had changed 180°, shook his head, and explained.

"Clan Head Sarutobi, since your misunderstanding has been resolved, go back and rest first. We will talk about the specific details of joining tomorrow."

"No need to talk anymore. I didn't expect that with the help of this Uchiha gentleman, a medical expert, my son's... has recovered to normal. I personally represent the Sarutobi clan and agree to join Konoha. I also hope Lord Tobirama can communicate well with this gentleman. There might be some misunderstanding between you."

Sensing that there were still other contradictions between Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Gin, Sarutobi Sasuke, who was grateful, immediately patted his chest, agreed to join Konoha, and indicated that the two might have a misunderstanding and didn't need to resort to force.

"You guy, did you cast a genjutsu on Clan Head Sarutobi?"

Not expecting Sarutobi Sasuke to favor Uchiha Gin again and again, this couldn't help but make Senju Tobirama suspect whether the other party had been hit by the curly-haired guy's genjutsu. After all, as the Uchiha clan, besides spitting fire, they were good at playing this hand.

"You are overthinking, I don't have that brain."

Seeing that Senju Tobirama wanted to frame him, Uchiha Gin, who never took the blame, immediately spread his hands, indicating that his mind was simple and he couldn't think of such a vicious strategy. It must have been done by someone else!

"Hmph~ even a plastic bag can't be as pretentious as you. Let's not talk about other things for now, just explain to me, you said you adopted a five-year-old child and played with her in different ways every day. Is this matter true..."

Seeing Uchiha Gin escape from the dispute from the beginning, Senju Tobirama, who was dissatisfied in his heart, snorted coldly. With anger in his scarlet eyes, looking at the curly-haired guy who was pretending to be innocent, his teeth were almost crushed. He squeezed out a soul-searching question from between his teeth. He swore to reclaim his sister's innocence!

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

However, before Senju Tobirama's question was finished, a high-pitched scream resounded through the whole field, making the onlookers who were listening to the explosive inside story feel as if their ears had been hit heavily.

Immediately after, a tall figure appeared in the sky, wrapped in light blue light, descending from the sky. She raised a fair and delicate little fist high and hammered it fiercely on the top of Senju Tobirama's head, who had a ferocious expression, beating his next words back into his stomach.

"Curly-haired baboon, I'm not late, am I~"
