Chapter 231: Today is another day full of hope

"What are you doing?"

In the dim backstage, the jailer's figure was against the light, making it impossible to see his appearance, only a head of fluffy curly hair shining brightly under the light. Yamanaka Zongichiro, who was suspicious and uneasy in his heart, clutched his collar tightly with one hand and covered his old chrysanthemum with the other. The voice in his mouth carried traces of fear.

In this room now, there was only him. The former jailmates were all separated behind. If something colored happened here, no one would know.

"Hey~ Brother Zongichiro, you wouldn't want to appear in front of everyone dressed in such a miserable state, would you?"

Slowly walking into the backstage, the wood clone responsible for guarding the prisoners smiled very mockingly. Seeing that Yamanaka Zongichiro was very nervous, he comforted him.

"Hoo~ You kid are still careful. This set of clothes is indeed not very fitting."

Hearing Uchiha Gin's explanation, Yamanaka Zongichiro breathed a sigh of relief. He looked down at the prison uniform that had been worn white. Although the material of this piece of clothing was excellent and comfortable to wear, wearing it out would indeed lose his style.

"Yes yes yes, then what are you waiting for, hurry up and take it off, the people in your clan are waiting anxiously outside~"

Yamanaka Zongichiro, whose mind was clear, didn't doubt it either, and directly shook his clothes to pieces. The small belly that had been raised very rich over the years was instantly exposed to the air.

"And the underwear, take it off too~"

Uchiha Gin on the side smiled very eerily, making Yamanaka Zongichiro's hand on his underwear hesitate.

"No need, right? I just changed my underwear this morning."

"Hey! When we go out, we can't bring any more things from the dungeon. This is very unlucky."

Uchiha Gin immediately explained seriously, making people feel that there was nothing wrong.

Things in the dungeon are unlucky.

"Alright, anyway, we are all big men~"

Feeling that Uchiha Gin's explanation was very reasonable, Yamanaka Zongichiro nodded and directly tore open his last line of defense. The brand-new underwear turned into snowflakes and scattered on the cold ground.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Zongichiro is really old but still strong~"

Yamanaka Zongichiro put his hands on his hips. After hearing Uchiha Gin's exclamation, he smiled very proudly, and even deliberately straightened his waist forward, highlighting that he was old but his knife was not dull.

"Click~ click~ Yes, just like this, a few more poses, this is the recruitment picture~"

Just when Yamanaka Zongichiro was waiting for the new clothes prepared by the other party, a burst of clicking sounds suddenly sounded in his ears. In confusion, he opened his eyes, only to see a burst of white light crackling, and Uchiha Gin, holding a camera, was taking portraits for him at a very fast speed, 360° in all directions.

"You!!! What do you want to do!"

Finding that the situation was not good, Yamanaka Zongichiro immediately protected his three points, his old face flushed, and he roared angrily at Uchiha Gin, the culprit.

"Sorry, Brother Zongichiro, the brothers also have to eat. What you can wear to go out later depends entirely on those juniors in your clan~"

After taking the pictures, Uchiha Gin put down the camera in his hand and looked at Yamanaka Zongichiro, who was ashamed and angry, with an "apologetic" look, his tone carrying deep helplessness.

"Don't go! Hurry up and return the photos to me!!!"

Yamanaka Zongichiro, who was naked, could only watch Uchiha Gin's departing back, standing alone in the cold room backstage, shivering, hoping that the juniors in his clan could at least add a pair of underwear for him.

Outside on the stage, Uchiha Gin, who was communicating with the female representative of the Yamanaka clan, took a stack of photos handed over by the wood clone with his head down, browsed them, and the smile on the corner of his mouth made Yamanaka Minako in front of him feel cold in her heart.

"Not bad, worthy of me, this shooting level, Brother Edison is nothing more than this~"

"Ms. Yamanaka, before the auction, please look at our product information. Our Uchiha clan pays attention to genuine goods at a fair price."

After browsing the photos in his hand, Uchiha Gin looked at Yamanaka Minako, who was suspicious and uneasy in front of him, and randomly pulled out two that were not too explosive and handed them over.

"Is it so cumbersome? Just pay the money and pick up the person. Let me look at these... do... do... ah!!!!"

Taking the photos handed over by the other party in confusion, Yamanaka Minako, who felt anxious in her heart, frowned. She just wanted to pick up the person earlier. Just as she was complaining, her beautiful eyes subconsciously fell on the photos in her hand, making her beautiful face instantly congested, bursts of heat rising on her head, and she couldn't help but exclaim in her mouth.

"Minako, what happened?"

As the Pig-Deer-Butterfly combination, Akimichi Shinji heard Yamanaka Minako's exclamation and immediately leaned over, wanting to ask what she had seen.

"No! Nothing..."

Yamanaka Minako, holding the photos, after a short brain lag, saw the round figure coming from afar, subconsciously covered the photos in her hand, her eyes became drifting, making Akimichi Shinji, who came in a hurry, a bit confused.

"What is that?"

It's not that the eyes are small and focused, Akimichi Shinji's confused small eyes immediately discovered the photo that Yamanaka Minako was pressing on her chest, so he asked in confusion.

"..."

"That is a real record of the recent situation of the Yamanaka clan prisoners. I will give Ms. Yamanaka a preventive injection in advance, otherwise, when the prisoners come out later, I am afraid she might not be able to accept it~"

Compared to Yamanaka Minako, who fell into silence and didn't know how to answer, Uchiha Gin, as the host, explained thoughtfully.

"You are actually so despicable!"

Thinking that what the other party took out was the kind of photo that recorded the prisoner being covered in blood after being tortured, and the Uchiha clan was trying to use this method to force them to pay money to redeem people, thinking of this, Akimichi Shinji erupted with an astonishing aura, his loose robe moved without wind, and his palms condensed with thick Yang-release power, as if he would explode in the next moment.

Among the onlookers under the stage, after sensing the chakra erupted from Akimichi Shinji, Senju Hashirama, whose heart tightened, clapped his hands immediately, and the rich Wood-release power quickly condensed. However, an arm blocked in front of him, making his movements lag.

"Big Brother! Don't be impulsive, there are ordinary people here."

Senju Tobirama, with a solemn face, blocked his big brother with one hand and pinched the seal with the other, ready to raise his finger at any time. There were so many villagers watching the scene, if the big brother didn't hold back his strength, wouldn't the village that had just been established with hard work be destroyed? You must know that they still owed the Land of Waves a large loan that hadn't been paid back yet.

Facing Akimichi Shinji's threatening big hand, Uchiha Gin was not panicked at all, and even a bit expectant. If the other party really did it, then what would be taken later would not just be photos.

"Stop! Shinji, this is our Yamanaka clan's business."

Just when Akimichi Shinji was about to make a move, a tall figure blocked in front of him. Yamanaka Minako, whose face was cloudy and sunny, stopped him with a cold face, and then turned to look at Uchiha Gin, who was smiling, and said.

"Uchiha Gin, right? Start your auction, our Yamanaka clan will naturally go all out."

"Alrighty, I like customers like you who are straightforward. Where did I just tell you?"

Although there was no conflict, which made Uchiha Gin a bit sorry, it didn't affect his road to making money.

"You said what guarantee genuine goods..."

With the content of those two photos still in her head, Yamanaka Minako's face carried a trace of flush, her blue-green beautiful eyes staring tightly at the handsome curly-haired guy in front of her, with a strange mood, she said.

Just now, when Uchiha Gin was communicating with Yamanaka Minako, he told the other party that although the prisoner only needed 2 million, if she only paid 2 million, she could only guarantee 100% genuine goods.

"The genuine goods you said, is that what you mean?"

Yamanaka Minako, who was cursing the Uchiha in front of her for being despicable in her heart, tightened her face and questioned.

"That's right, guaranteed real~"

"Humiliating our Yamanaka clan like this, what is your purpose!"

Not expecting the other party to admit it so generously, Yamanaka Minako's chest heaved for a while, and two white, round balls were about to come out, making Uchiha Gin subconsciously look away.

"Our Uchiha will treat every prisoner equally, not targeting your Yamanaka clan."

Uchiha Gin, whose eyes were drifting, locked his gaze on the other party's face and explained sincerely.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

If it was just pure humiliation, the hateful curly-haired guy in front of her could have directly pulled out Elder Zongichiro, who was naked, and let her accept the ridicule of the people around her. Why was he still wasting his breath with her here? Yamanaka Minako, whose brows were tightly frowned, spoke again, her tone carrying a hint of compromise.

"Hehe, this lady, you wouldn't want your elder to become a bird-walking old man in public, would you~"

Seeing this beautiful Yamanaka clan member in front of him, bowing her head and holding her chest, looking like she was at the mercy of others, Uchiha Gin was immediately excited. He whispered slowly in her delicate earlobe.

"Don't! I'll promise you anything!"

Bewitched by the devilish whisper, Yamanaka Minako only had panic left in her eyes. Her usual ruthlessness and decisiveness disappeared without a trace. Her trembling hands clutched Uchiha Gin's sleeve tightly, looking like a good housewife about to be taken advantage of.

"Uh... don't be like this, I am a serious person."

Suddenly feeling a few beams of light from the crowd that made him feel like he was on his back, Uchiha Gin immediately shook off the other party's soft hand righteously, his dead fish eyes full of clarity and purity, as if he could see holy light appearing behind him.

"Huh?"

Yamanaka Minako, who was almost about to fall, woke up after hearing this. Her beautiful face was red as blood, and the eyes looking at Uchiha Gin also carried some inexplicable meaning.

"Ahem ahem... if you don't want Brother Zongichiro to come out clean, you have to krypton some gold."

Waving his hand to disperse the slightly ambiguous atmosphere, he opened his mouth to explain the rules to Yamanaka Minako, whose face was strange.

"Krypton gold?"

Yamanaka Minako, who had never heard this word, raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion.

"168,000, one draw is only 168,000. If you hit the soul in one shot, high-end fashion can be taken home immediately~"

Uchiha Gin stood up straight, jumped back to the center of the stage, held the microphone in his hand, and shouted loudly.

"Do you want your clan's meritorious officials to return to the ninja world in a gorgeous posture?"

"Do you want your elders who have worked hard for half their lives to usher in a rebirth-like transformation in their old age?"

"Think about the love and guidance they once gave you, what are you still hesitating about?"

"As long as 168,000, exquisite clothing personally made by the most trendy clothing designer in the Land of Waves, can be worn immediately!"

"What does it mean? Didn't you say it was auctioning prisoners? Why did it become selling clothes?"

The onlookers who didn't know the truth were confused by Uchiha Gin's sudden advertisement and asked curiously.

"What is that Uchiha doing? 2 million per person, and have to buy a piece of clothing for 168,000?"

In the crowd, Shimura Xianyi, who was confused, couldn't help but elbow Sarutobi Sasuke beside him and asked his good friend with a frown.

"I don't know either, let's see how Minako responds."

Sarutobi Sasuke also didn't understand what kind of moth Uchiha Gin was making, but now that the Yamanaka clan was trading, they, the ninja clans, should wait and see first.

"I'll draw! I'll draw right now!"

Knowing the way, Yamanaka Minako raised her hand impatiently and shouted in a delicate voice that she wanted to krypton gold, making the onlookers who were watching the excitement confused.

"Uh... Minako actually agreed. Is that clothing really gorgeous?"

Originally thought that the shrewish Yamanaka Minako would flip the table, but didn't expect that she would agree to pay for such a strange service, which made the Ninja Clan Alliance members who were familiar with her personality drop their jaws.

"Don't be anxious, bring the machine up~"

Seeing that the other party was so cooperative, Uchiha Gin smiled and waved his hand. The jailers behind him cooperated to push a large screen from backstage and placed it in the center of the stage. The screen, which was full of technology that did not belong to this era, attracted fierce discussion from the audience under the stage as soon as it appeared.

"Tobirama, what is that thing?"

Senju Hashirama, full of curiosity, stood on tiptoe, wanting to see what was going on. After looking for a long time without seeing the way, he couldn't help but ask his younger brother, the technology expert.

"I don't know either~"

At this time in the Land of Fire, the technology tree of electrical appliances had not been lit, so naturally, he didn't know what the thing in front of him was.

Looking at the surprised expressions of the crowd below with satisfaction, Uchiha Gin waved his hand and introduced chakra into it. The gray screen lit up instantly, and accompanied by a magical BGM, a card-drawing interface unique to two-dimensional games appeared on the screen.

In the picture, a sweet-looking two-dimensional girl was greeting enthusiastically, and the soft and crisp voice in her mouth made everyone feel like a spring breeze.

"Today is another day full of hope~"

"168,000 is just the price of one draw. The prize is exquisite clothing sponsored by the Land of Waves. Although winning the prize has a probability, if you are lucky, it is not impossible to hit the soul in one shot~"

Uchiha Gin smiled and opened the prize pool, generously making the winning rate public.

"There is actually a 16% grand prize rate, very conscientious!"

Looking at the bright 16% on it, the onlookers couldn't help but sigh, "Conscientious game, I want to play."

"Give me one shot first!"

Yamanaka Minako squinted her beautiful eyes, carefully browsed the prize pool, and immediately threw out a wallet, indicating that she wanted to come for one shot.

"One shot? Are you sure?"

Taking the wallet thrown by the other party, which still had some residual temperature and carried wisps of fragrance when opened, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked to confirm.

"Hmph~ My luck is famously good!"

Only hearing Yamanaka Minako's delicate snort, she exposed her identity as the Emperor of Europe.

"Alright, I hope you can create a miracle with a single draw, but I'll tell you in advance, our ten consecutive draws have a guarantee."

Good words are hard to persuade a ghost who sends money. Seeing Yamanaka Minako so stubborn, Uchiha Gin stopped blocking her and blessed her, then put away the wallet with body temperature. Anyway, it wouldn't be long before this wallet would be his.

"How to draw?"

Yamanaka Minako, walking with long legs, jumped onto the stage and looked at the screen full of technology, not knowing how to start.

"Just draw Celia's face~"

Uchiha Gin, who was counting money with his head down, pointed to the red-skirted girl with a sweet smile in the picture and instructed.

"Huh? You play really perverted~"

Not expecting the drawing method to be so strange, Yamanaka Minako curled her lips, stretched out her soft hand, and slapped the screen.

"Ah~~"

Only hearing a delicate panting that made people blush and heartbeat, everyone present waited and watched curiously. Those in the front row were fine, able to see the big screen, while those behind who couldn't see were all scratching their ears and cheeks.

"Wood-release Technique!"

Senju Hashirama, who was also scratching his heart like a cat, didn't care about his younger brother's opposition. He clapped his hands together, and after controlling the strength, a wooden man of several meters appeared in place. He pulled Senju Tobirama to stand on the wooden man's head, and the brothers stared tightly at the screen shining with blue light, wanting to witness the birth of the Emperor of Europe.

"Multiplication Technique!"

Similarly, the late Ninja Clan Alliance couldn't see the process of drawing cards. Fortunately, Akimichi Shinji had just returned to the team. Seeing this round man, he formed a seal with both hands, shouted, and instantly expanded several meters, and the rest of the people jumped onto his huge body tacitly, looking at the screen on the stage.

Accompanied by a dazzling blue light, Uchiha Gin, as the developer, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It's just blue, you continue to charge for me!

"Ding~ Congratulations on obtaining random clothing fragment *1."

Yamanaka Minako, who was originally full of confidence, saw the prize that jumped out of the screen, and her brows were wrinkled enough to pinch a cow to death, so she clicked on the prize introduction.

【Random clothing fragment: After collecting 40 pieces, you can synthesize random clothing.】

"40 pieces? 168,000 * 40, which is less than 7 million. Your prize pool is nothing more than that~"

After calculating with the formula, Yamanaka Minako's tight brows slowly relaxed, and a smile hung on her face. Then she raised her head and raised her eyebrows provocatively at Uchiha Gin, who was "looking like a funeral."

"Sigh~ I lost so much that I can only take the bus~"

Uchiha Gin put on a sad face, his eyes carrying a hint of pleading.

Please don't charge anymore, if you charge anymore, I will lose so much that I can only become the richest man.

"Give me ten shots directly!"

Yamanaka Minako, full of confidence, waved her hand heroically, and the aura of a local tyrant overflowed, stinging Uchiha Gin to shed "moved" tears.

"Ah~~~"

Only seeing her slap the sweet smile on the screen ten times in a row, the screen suddenly burst into colorful light. After these lights dissipated, Yamanaka Minako, who was satisfied with herself, had her smile instantly stiffen.

"Ding~ Congratulations on obtaining random clothing fragment *2."

"Ding~ Congratulations on obtaining random shoe fragment *1."

"Ding~ Congratulations on obtaining random underwear fragment *2."

"Ding~ Congratulations..."

"What do you mean? Are you selling clothes separately?"

Looking at the pile of fragments of different parts in front of her, Yamanaka Minako, who was anxious, almost fainted. Only seeing her trembling hand stretched out, pointing at the evil developer, she denounced angrily.

"Hey~ That is clothing made by a famous master. Every part is designed by different masters, so it must be sold separately~"

Uchiha Gin spread his hands immediately, indicating that this is Uchiha clothing, take it or leave it.

"Good good good~ Then what about my guarantee? Didn't you say there is a guarantee!"

Feeling that she had been tricked, Yamanaka Minako remembered the ten-draw guarantee she just said, and she gritted her teeth and asked.

"Isn't there a guarantee gift box? Just open it~"

Uchiha Gin, who was understanding, pointed to the shining treasure box in the corner and said with a smile.

"The guarantee won't be fragments too, right?"

Yamanaka Minako, whose face was suspicious, had her hand stretched out in mid-air. She turned to look at Uchiha Gin and asked to confirm again.

"No no no, the guarantee gift box is definitely a finished product, and it's limited edition~"

Not expecting her conscientious card-drawing system to be questioned, Uchiha Gin looked heartbroken and shook his head to explain to the other party.

"Hmph~ I'll believe you once."

Seeing Uchiha Gin so sincere, Yamanaka Minako didn't hesitate anymore. Her white and slender fingers pointed straight at the gift box. Only seeing a dazzling purple light flash, she opened her eyes again, and everyone's eyes looked at the guaranteed finished product that was opened.

"Ding~ Congratulations on obtaining hot bikini (summer limited) *1."

"Oh~ I forgot to tell you, these days are during the summer activity period, the guarantee gift box is all summer limited~"

Looking at Yamanaka Minako, who was stunned, Uchiha Gin smiled mockingly, clicked on the introduction of the guarantee gift box, and four big characters were written brightly on it.

【Summer Limited】

"RNM, refund!!!"

"Are you sure?"

"Woo woo woo~ Please give me ten more shots~"

"Congratulations on obtaining random clothing fragment *1."

After a long time, Yamanaka Minako, whose face was like a vegetable, tremblingly clicked on the clothing fragments she had finally collected from her prizes. Accompanied by a blue light, her heart that was hanging finally died.

"Congratulations on obtaining a set of 36D leopard print swimsuit."

"Shinji, Sasuke, lend me money!"

With a look of madness in her eyes, Yamanaka Minako, who was already on the head, turned her gaze to her friends, pulled down her pretty face, and said.

"Sorry, we will also..."

Having witnessed the card-drawing process of spending money like water, the Ninja Clan Alliance members covered their pockets tightly, and couldn't help but speculate why Yamanaka Minako would compromise and draw cards.

"Excuse me, do you provide usury services here?"

Yamanaka Minako, who failed to borrow money, finally locked her gaze on Uchiha Gin's smiling face and asked with some embarrassment.

"Hehe, yes, as long as thirty-five points~"

Woo woo woo~ I cried to death, I will cover the Yamanaka clan, this big injustice!

"Thank you, your Uchiha clan is really a great philanthropist!"

Thirty-five points? Isn't this free!

Woo woo woo~ I cried to death, I have made friends with the Uchiha clan!

"That's for sure, there is no clan more loving than us~"

Under the witness of everyone, Yamanaka Minako, who was obviously a bit broken, didn't even look and signed the usury contract. Uchiha Gin smiled and returned the gold coins he had just exploded to the original number.

And on the screen beside them, the red-skirted girl with a sweet smile became more and more brilliant with the input of gold coins.

"Today is another day full of hope~"
