Chapter 226

"Itama, come home often when you have time~"

As the gate of Uchiha Gin's house was pushed open, Senju Itama sent her two brothers to the door. Senju Hashirama, with the concern of an elder brother in his eyes, looked at his sister who had returned from the dead and said sincerely.

"If you have any grievances, just tell your brothers. Although Eldest Brother is not good at words, he also knows a little bit of fists and kicks~"

"Don't underestimate me, I can handle it myself."

"Itama, did you want to kill me just now?"

Compared to Senju Hashirama, who was reluctant to part, Senju Tobirama, who was intact but had his heart filled with shadows, asked in a strange tone.

Just now, because he misinterpreted Senju Hashirama's words, he almost ate a full-power super-strength heart-piercing punch. Fortunately, Eldest Brother was quick-eyed and fast-handed, blocking that blow, otherwise he might have gone to see Father.

"Hmph! Who told you to talk nonsense? If I hear you say strange things again, I will hammer your head!"

Thinking of Senju Tobirama's words just now, a few red clouds appeared on the girl's face. She then put her hands on her hips, baring her two cute little tiger teeth, and warned coquettishly, but the shyness written in her eyes made the two brothers feel bitter.

"Alright, we will abide by the agreement and pretend not to know you in public."

Senju Hashirama waved his hand helplessly. He couldn't figure out why his long-lost sister wanted them to pretend not to know her. Did she have any unspeakable secrets?

But as long as the person is still alive, that is a great joy, so this strange agreement is nothing unacceptable.

"Mm-hmm, you guys hurry up and leave, I still have to find my best friend to go shopping later~"

Calculating the time in her heart, Senju Itama urged the two to leave. Her heart was very chaotic now, and she needed to find a trusted person of the same sex to pour out her heart.

"Itama, I heard that Uchiha Gin's private life is extremely messy. Not only does he live with a young girl, but he also hooks up with a widow. You must keep your eyes open!"

Senju Tobirama, who was unwilling to give up, slandered the white moonlight in his sister's heart based on hearsay.

"Will win!"

??????

The storm had subsided. Uchiha Gin, who had left the two women's team, continued his exploration mode. Compared to the past few days, there were more and more strange faces on the streets of the newly born Konoha.

On both sides of the street, there were many temporary stalls, filled with characteristic products of various clans.

There was the Inuzuka clan selling dog food. Hmm... let's buy some for the big cousin, he should like to eat it.

There was also the round Akimichi clan, selling the secret medicine that the little cousin once gave him. The advertisement written next to it,

【Bigger, longer, and more lasting, you are good, I am good, she is also good】

Hmm... I have a friend who needs it very much. I'll come back to buy it when there are fewer people!

"Boss, how do you sell this deer antler?"

Suddenly, while passing by a stall, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow, squatted down, picked up a deer antler with good quality, and asked the listless stall owner.

"Opening grand promotion, only 10,000 ryo, you can take home the deer antler raised wildly by our Nara clan. It clears the meridians and activates blood... especially for strengthening yang and nourishing the kidneys, the effect is excellent!"

Hearing that a customer had come, the sleepy young man of the Nara clan immediately gained spirit. Looking at Uchiha Gin, who looked kidney-deficient, he introduced very professionally.

"Uh... what do you mean by that? Who are you looking down on?"

Uchiha Gin, holding his waist, tightened his brows and glared at the pineapple-head who was talking nonsense. The terrifying aura made the newcomer Nara young man unable to breathe.

"Hmph! Pack it all up for me, I have a friend who just happens to need to nourish..."

Just as the Nara young man's brain was thinking fast, he saw a golden thing slapped in front of him, and then Uchiha Gin's righteous voice came to his ears.

Subconsciously picking up the gold and taking a bite, after checking it was correct, he hurriedly packed the deer antler on the ground and respectfully delivered it to the big customer in front of him.

"This guest, if your friend still needs it, remember to contact our Nara clan."

"Is your Nara clan preparing to join Konoha?"

Taking the deer antler bought for his friend, Uchiha Gin curiously looked at the pineapple-head with obvious features in front of him and asked.

"Yes, our clan head has already moved the family industry here, in the forest on the outskirts of Konoha."

The Nara young man, holding the gold brick happily, didn't hide it and told Uchiha Gin the truth about the Nara clan joining.

Tsk! Even the deer herd was driven over. This Nara clan really sees the situation clearly.

After all, although Konoha looks like a makeshift team now, with the protection of the two major families, Senju and Uchiha, it is definitely an excellent place for families like theirs, which are not very big, to multiply and live.

"Welcome, welcome, let's play chess together when you have time~"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Gin carried the deer antler on his back, greeted the Nara young man, and turned to leave.

"Huh, how did he know I like playing chess?"

The Nara young man, who was still examining the gold brick in his hand, was stunned after hearing Uchiha Gin's words. A trace of doubt flashed in his dull eyes.

Then he saw a chess manual scattered on the ground and suddenly realized. It must be that the other party saw the chess manual he used for research, so he said that.

"That pineapple-head should be Shikamaru's great-grandfather's generation. Otherwise, why would he look so much like him."

Carrying the heavy deer antler, Uchiha Gin raised his head and looked at the rock wall above Konoha Village.

"Now we are just missing a rock carving. It was not in vain that I have been hiding for so many years. I finally managed to survive until Konoha Village came out~"

After sighing, Uchiha Gin hummed a little tune and walked towards the newly opened barbecue shop of his good friend. After all, having bought so many high-quality deer antlers, it wouldn't be good for him to enjoy them alone. Let's take a few roots as a grand opening gift for Uchiha Da Lang!

On the other side, in the temporary office of the Senju brothers.

"So, you still didn't escape Itama's iron fist sanction after all!"

Senju Hashirama, who was burying his head in processing documents, raised his head with a strange face upon hearing his brother's nagging. Looking at the bump Senju Tobirama was showing, he said while holding back his laughter.

"Sigh~ I don't know what kind of education Itama received over the years, to turn from such a well-behaved and sensible child into what she is now."

Senju Tobirama's palm glowed green, carefully treating his red and swollen wound, which made him twitch, and he complained while baring his teeth.

"Uh... I actually think Itama is becoming more and more like Mother."

Moving his wrist, which was still slightly swollen, Senju Hashirama, who had also eaten a punch, had nostalgia in his eyes. Recalling his mother's appearance and comparing it with his spoiled and cute sister, he found they were exactly the same.

"Alright, having received the good news that Itama is still alive, your drive to work should be even stronger, right?"

"Nice to meet you, my name is Sarutobi Hiruzen, please take care of me."

Compared to the nervous Shimura Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who hadn't seen Uchiha Gin's vicious methods, introduced himself with a normal expression. His eyes flickered with an inexplicable light, but there was no look of fear.

As the son of the Sarutobi clan head, he believed that if the other party treated him the way he treated Danzo, his father would definitely knock him down at the first opportunity.

"Tsk! The little guy has some guts. Come, Uncle will treat you to candy~"

He didn't expect that little Sarutobi Hiruzen would have the courage to face him directly. Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows and smiled even more brilliantly. After praising him, he casually fished a lollipop out of his bag and handed it over.

"Uh... Thank you, Uncle."

Looking at the candy handed over by Uchiha Gin, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel a bit proud. He glanced at the miserable Shimura Danzo beside him, reached out, and took the lollipop. Smelling the charming, sweet scent of the candy, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

"Gulp~"

Hearing the sound of swallowing, Sarutobi Hiruzen subconsciously pursed his lips, only to find that the swallowing sound wasn't made by him. Following that, he turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

"Monkey, you will regret this!"

Clearly they were both children, so why the differential treatment? Monkey, this cunning guy, had candy to eat, while he had to be severely tortured. Feeling indignant in his heart, Shimura Danzo looked at the candy in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand, which was emitting a charming aura, wiped the saliva secreted from the corner of his mouth, and reminded him loudly.

"Only good children have candy to eat, I am the good child~"

Feeling the visible jealousy in his childhood friend's eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a contemptuous smile. Then he tore open the candy's packaging and, in the other party's murderous gaze, stuffed the entire lollipop into his mouth, simultaneously making a slurping sound, which made little Danzo, who couldn't have it, feel his teeth itch with anger, and he secretly recorded this debt in his heart.

"Is it delicious?"

Uchiha Gin looked smilingly at the scene of brothers turning against each other and asked meaningfully.

"Slurp~ Slurp~ Delicious!"

Even with many schemes, Sarutobi Hiruzen was only a five-year-old child, and he was easily taken down by the sugar-coated bullet.

"Is this brat called Danzo your good brother?"

Rubbing his chin, Uchiha Gin pointed at Shimura Danzo, who was bare-butted beside him, and asked.

"Slurp~ Danzo, huh? Slurp~ The two of us grew up wearing the same pair of pants, Slurp~ good friends~"

Immersed in the gentle land of candy, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had let down his guard, answered on his own, not noticing the awkward smile in the other party's eyes at all.

"Hehe, since you grew up wearing the same pair of pants, he has already taken his off, why are you still wearing yours?"

Uchiha Gin gave a strange laugh. As the target, Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't even swallowed the sweetness in his mouth when he felt a chill in his crotch. The sudden change made him lose his focus instantly, not knowing how to respond.

"Eh~ such a small bird, hope the bird is okay~"

As the culprit, Uchiha Gin looked mockingly at the little bird in Sarutobi Hiruzen's crotch. After evaluating it, he stretched out his evil big hand.

Uchiha Gin's hand revealed a faint blue light. With a flick of his finger, a sharp wind force shot out. The moment before it reached the designated target location, the wind force turned into several strands and mercilessly initiated a fatal strike.

"Ah? Ah! Ah~ Ah~~"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who suffered the strike, swore that this was the most shameful moment of his life. He wanted to dodge, but found that he couldn't move his whole body and could only stand in place, accepting the baptism of humiliation. The pain mixed with a hint of inexplicable pleasure made him unable to help but scream.

"Stop hurting my son!"

Sarutobi Sasuke, who was on the side, exploded instantly after hearing his beloved son's wailing. His eyes stared straight at Uchiha Gin's back, and his hands began to dance rapidly. In an instant, a scorching aura permeated the scene.

"Hi, just teasing the bird, don't be so angry~"

Feeling the astonishing heat behind him, Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows and explained, but the movements in his hands continued, flicking the ignorant Sarutobi Hiruzen until he screamed, which made Danzo on the side feel very satisfied.

"Sarutobi Sasuke, what do you want to do?"

For such a small scene, Uchiha Gin didn't even need to make a move. Uchiha Hi-no-mi, who was watching the show on the side, led his subordinates to surround Sarutobi Sasuke, who was brewing a mouthful of fire-attribute chakra. Several pairs of scarlet Sharingan stared coldly at him, and the cold, obscure aura made his scalp tingle.

"Is this your Konoha's way of treating guests?"

Sarutobi Sasuke, who was stared at by several Three-Tomoe, finally gritted his teeth and swallowed the flames in his throat. He frowned and accused loudly.

"Guest? I'm afraid you aren't qualified enough!"

Before Uchiha Hi-no-mi could speak, a gloomy-eyed hedgehog-headed boy following him spoke first. His scarlet eyes carried thick disdain.

"See clearly, this is our Uchiha clan's territory. A mere Sarutobi is not yet qualified to call himself a guest."

Eh~ this kid seems to be the offspring of Brother Liuying, what was his name, Setsuna?

What Uchiha Gin didn't expect was that at this time point, there were still clansmen so brave to say such things. If it were spread out by someone with ulterior motives, he was afraid he would be hung up and whipped by the Senju brothers.

"Setsuna, watch your words."

As the captain, Uchiha Hi-no-mi took a look at Uchiha Setsuna beside him, the dissatisfaction in his eyes flashing by. After giving a cold warning, he turned his head to look at the vigilant Sarutobi Sasuke and said.

"Don't be agitated first. I believe Lord Gin is not the kind of person who bullies children."

"Wuu wuu wuu~ Father, save me quickly, my bird is about to explode~"

Unexpectedly, just as Uchiha Hi-no-mi finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen's wailing voice reached everyone's ears, making Sarutobi Sasuke's just-relaxed face instantly turn copper-green. His wide-open eyes were full of anger.

"Is this what you call not that kind of person?"

"There must be some misunderstanding in this. Lord Gin is usually very friendly to others, respects the old and loves the young, and is proficient in everything."

"Ha! Ha! Ha~ Call louder for me, didn't you eat?"

"..."

"Summoning Jutsu!"

Hearing Uchiha Gin's strange laughter, Sarutobi Sasuke, whose expression was gloomy to the extreme, could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He then bit his finger, smeared blood on his palm, quickly formed a few seals, and slammed it on the ground. Following an arcane spell appearing on the ground, in the smoke that appeared out of thin air, a furry big hand reached out, and a sharp voice also sounded simultaneously.

"Sasuke, who is the enemy this time?"

"Enma, help me..."

Sarutobi Sasuke, who summoned Enma, felt settled in his heart. With Enma cooperating with him, even the legendary Senju Hashirama, he wouldn't be afraid.

Enma: I didn't say that.

Just as he was preparing to issue further orders, a suddenly appearing curly-haired guy blocked the space between Enma and him, causing his order to die in the cradle.

The aura of space power behind him finally made Uchiha Gin stop the strike in his hands. After turning around, he looked at Enma, who was wearing a tiger-skin skirt and whose fur was smooth to the point of being outrageous. Excitedly, he body-flickered and appeared in front of this summoning beast. With a look of surprise in his eyes, he asked with a tsk.

"Tsk~ do you guys also have a Holy Land?"

"Holy Land? Never heard of it."

Enma, who had just arrived, subconsciously answered Uchiha Gin's follow-up question.

It seems that the Enma clan didn't have the existence of a Holy Land like Mount Myoboku.

"Then where is your old home?"

Uchiha Gin, who wouldn't give up, asked to the end.

"Strange human, even if you knew, you couldn't go. Our boss hates humans very much."

Facing the persistent Uchiha Gin, Enma shook the tail behind him, frowned with his fur-filled brows, and explained.

"Tell me about it, I just want to know what kind of cave heaven and blessed land it is that can make your fur so smooth~"

"Don't know what you're talking about, our old home is at Flower Fruit Mountain, you..."

"Enma! Don't be fooled by him, the enemy is him!"

Seeing Enma, whom he had summoned with great difficulty, being led away by Uchiha Gin, Sarutobi Sasuke was instantly furious. He shouted "Enma" and informed his not-so-smart summoning beast of Uchiha Gin's true identity.

"Uh... Sure enough, as the Boss said, humans are all despicable!"

Hearing Sarutobi Sasuke's reminder, Enma's expression instantly became ugly. He pointed at Uchiha Gin's nose and started spraying.

"Then Sarutobi Sasuke is also a human!"

Uchiha Gin, who was affected by the map-cannon, scratched his head awkwardly. He took a look at Sarutobi Sasuke, who was ready to go not far away, and asked in a strange tone.

"Ha? Isn't Sasuke a monkey?"

Fine, fine, fine, so your Sarutobi clan can sign a contract with the Enma clan all because of atavism?

"Brother Hi-no-mi, hurry and take that guy down. I saw him come out of Senju Tobirama's office a few days ago, looking like they were talking happily. He must be caught back for interrogation!"

Uchiha Setsuna, who was not at peace in his heart, quietly approached Uchiha Hi-no-mi and whispered the information he knew. The coldness in his eyes was even stronger than just now.

"Setsuna, you talk too much. After I go back, I will report this to the clan head."

He didn't expect that after his warning, this kid Uchiha Setsuna still wouldn't give up. This made Uchiha Hi-no-mi, who already had many complaints about him, lower his impression of him even further.

"Captain Hi-no-mi! I said this all for the Uchiha clan!"

"Enma, prepare to make a big scene!"

Even a clay figure has three parts of temper. Seeing that the Uchiha security team had the intention to favor this curly-haired Uchiha in front of him, Sarutobi Sasuke hardened his heart, waved his hand to greet Enma, and prepared to go to war with the other party.

"Everyone stop!"

Just as both sides were at daggers drawn, a white-haired figure descended from the sky and landed between the security team and Sarutobi Sasuke. Senju Tobirama's scarlet eyes released thick pressure, making both sides unable to breathe for a time. Following everyone's momentum slumping, this war that hadn't yet started came to an early curtain.

"What happened? Why are you fighting?"

Seeing that both sides had calmed down, Senju Tobirama, whose expression was unhappy, asked Sarutobi Sasuke, who was on guard.

"Lord Tobirama, it's all this curly-haired guy's fault..."

Seeing that his backer had arrived, Sarutobi Sasuke straightened his waist, waved his big hand, pointed at Uchiha Gin, who was squatting not far away with green light flourishing in his hands, and accused.

"You mean, Uchiha Gin bullied your family's child?"

After Sarutobi Sasuke's retelling without adding oil and vinegar, Senju Tobirama's expression became extremely strange. Looking at Uchiha Gin, who was clapping his hands with satisfaction, he confirmed again.

"That's right, he beat Kenichi's son's butt to a pulp, and also my son's bird... Lord Tobirama, you must make the decision for us~"

Sarutobi Sasuke, who felt very aggrieved in his heart, wanted Senju Tobirama to punish that detestable curly-haired guy properly. It would be best to hang him up and beat his butt while flicking his bird.

"Uchiha Gin, is what they said true?"

Waving his hand toward Uchiha Gin, looking at the smug curly-haired guy, Senju Tobirama frowned and asked.

"Hi~ you also know, I just like playing with children. If you don't believe me, ask Hi-no-mi and the others. I adopted a five-year-old child before, and we play every day. It's much more varied than this. I'm already used to it~"

"Say it again, I didn't hear clearly."

(End of chapter)

"That's right, those locked in the dungeon are basically criminals from those ninja clans. If they are all released, the dungeon will be emptied!"

Uchiha Jiro on the side was skillfully flipping the barbecue, also showing a look of resentment, and his tone of speaking was not very good.

"Rumor has it that the Senju clan has already started to release the criminals on their side. Now they are putting our Uchiha clan on the shelf to roast. With a slight hesitation, we might be labeled as unfavorable to Konoha's development."

As the clan head's personal guard, Uchiha Huo He knew more inside information than Uchiha Jiro and the other two. Seeing him stuff the fat and tender fish meat into his mouth, his cold face carried rare anger as he analyzed.

It seems that the Senju brothers are truly working hard for Konoha's development, even at the cost of releasing former enemies to attract ninja clans to join.

However, the Senju clan is making a big splash, while the Uchiha clan is doing it quietly. When everyone is released, those ninja clans will only be grateful to the Senju clan, which has done publicity.

And the Uchiha, who do the hardest and most tiring work, may not necessarily receive praise, and might even be labeled as unfavorable to unity, just as Huo He said.

"Hmph! How many criminals can they have on the Senju clan side? With their despicable fighting style, it's hard for enemies to leave alive, unlike us Uchiha, using genjutsu to control, and then using Great Fireball..."

Uchiha Uchiha Da Lang, who had been eavesdropping in the back kitchen, couldn't help but lift the curtain and complain from afar.

Good, good, good, I understand, we Uchiha are the most loving ninja clan.

No one understands the gold content of Great Fireball's compassion better than I do.

"Sigh~ you guys have said so much, but it's already too late, right? The Ninja Clan Alliance led by the Sarutobi clan has almost confirmed they are joining."

Sarutobi Sasuke, whom I met today, has already publicly confirmed joining Konoha. The leader has entered the circle, so wouldn't the little minions behind him just close their eyes and enter?

"Yes, this matter is the general trend. We are just complaining, we can't change anything."

After hearing Uchiha Gin's latest news, the three sighed in unison, imagining the sizzling barbecue as the hateful Senju, and continued to launch fierce attacks.

"By the way, it's not that there is no good news. If the dungeon is empty, wouldn't we be able to rest for a long time~"

Finally, Uchiha Gin found a piece of good news among a pile of bad things that could comfort them.

"Huh? Lord Gin, didn't you receive the notice? The Uchiha clan's dungeon is about to close, you are already unemployed!"
