Chapter 258: Welcome Home (End of the Warring States Arc)

In the backyard.

Uchiha Gin, anxiously waiting for the opponent to make a move, keenly sensed a trace of spatial energy. His heart leaped with joy; he never expected that a relatively obscure NPC could trigger a high-level skill, making him shout that he was possessed by the luck of a European emperor.

"."

"Whoosh~"

Just waiting like that, as a breeze stirred the fallen leaves on the ground, withered yellow leaves landed between the two. The spatial energy on Shiranui Genma reached its peak.

"Is it coming?"

Fearing he might capsize in the gutter, Uchiha Gin immediately activated his Sharingan. With scarlet eyes, he stared fixedly at Shiranui Genma, who had maintained the same posture for a long time, his internal alert level maxed out.

But the final outcome was jaw-dropping.

Only to see a dense surge of spatial energy erupt from Shiranui Genma. This maneuver scared Uchiha Gin into retreating a few steps. As the spatial energy vibrated, his eyes involuntarily shifted into blue-white mutated Byakugan, and strands of spatial energy became clearly visible in his field of vision.

"Pfft~"

Under the enhancement of these eyes, Uchiha Gin had the illusion that he could control space. Just then, a muffled sound suddenly erupted.

Shiranui Genma, who had been standing upright just a moment ago, collapsed to the ground at the sound, his entire body trembling as if he had been electrocuted.

"What's the situation? I didn't even move a finger; he fell down all by himself!"

Uchiha Gin was completely bewildered. He had just been standing there waiting for a while, and Shiranui Genma had just laid himself out on the ground. What was he supposed to do now? The system wouldn't judge him for cheating, would it?

A ripple-like light screen appeared at the right moment, taking away the still-twitching Shiranui Genma without leaving a trace. Just as Uchiha Gin was puzzled, the system's voice appeared in his mind.

"Backyard daily refresh random skill 【Flying Thunder God Formation】, obtained Flying Thunder God Formation fragment *1"

【Flying Thunder God Formation (1/3): A degraded version of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. Requires three people to coordinate; can transfer objects or humans within the formation to other locations.】

PS: Exclusive skill for specific NPCs Shiranui Genma, Raido Namiashi, and Iwashi Tatami.

Uchiha Gin, currently receiving the system's baptism, froze in place upon hearing this prompt. Flying Thunder God? He hadn't misheard, had he?

In shock and suspicion, he hurriedly opened his skill bar and searched through the vast sea of locked gray skills, finally finding the Flying Thunder God Formation displaying progress (1/3) in a corner.

No wonder Shiranui Genma had been performing for half a day by himself with no results, and in the end, he had even been backlashed by the ninjutsu and ended up rolling on the ground.

"Damn, so it's the idiot version of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu."

After carefully reading the skill description, Uchiha Gin felt instantly deflated. What was the use of such a useless skill?

Should he find two more people to form a "Fast Delivery" combo, specializing in delivering people and goods?

Just as Uchiha Gin was cursing, the system prompt sounded in his ears again.

"Detected that the host possesses the item 'Flying Thunder God Kunai'. Successfully learned Flying Thunder God Formation. When paired with the Flying Thunder God Kunai, there is a certain chance to comprehend the Flying Thunder God Jutsu."

"This works too?"

Uchiha Gin instantly stopped his uncivilized foul language and looked quite surprised at the Sword of the Thunder God that had been gathering dust in his inventory.

He never expected that after so many years, this non-overpowered item, which he had drawn for the first time, could still shine and be useful. It truly moved him.

Fine, fine, Minato Namikaze, right? Your little sparrow is saved~

Upon learning this good news, Uchiha Gin was in a great mood. Humming an unknown tune, he turned and returned home.

Just as he returned home through the back door, Uchiha Gin, who was fantasizing about becoming a ninja world courier, saw a round and beautiful back in the living room.

Although it felt vaguely familiar, he was one hundred percent certain that the person was definitely not someone he knew.

A sense of vigilance rose in his heart. He frowned and asked the stranger who had broken into his house,

"Uh, who are you? Did you walk into the wrong door?"

The charming and unfamiliar back suddenly heard the voice she had been longing for behind her. The curvaceous body jolted, and then she jumped up with joy. Her round lower body and fair, long legs drew a perfect arc in the air.

"Gin! You're finally back!"

The strange woman turned around. Seeing Uchiha Gin walking out from the room, she rushed over excitedly. The familiar voice made Uchiha Gin dazed for a moment; he subconsciously forgot to dodge and was pulled into her plump, fleshy body, unable to move.

After a brief enjoyment, facing this sudden stroke of luck, Uchiha Gin firmly maintained his usual upright character. He "struggled" reluctantly to escape from the stranger's embrace.

He was about to lecture her to be rational about male-female relationships, saying that there were too many eyes during the day so she shouldn't come to find him, and that they could continue to pour out their hearts at night in a secluded place.

But as the words reached his lips, Uchiha Gin caught a glimpse of the woman's exquisite features. While marveling at her beauty, he also discovered some clues.

This cold and beautiful woman couldn't just be said to look eighty percent like Uchiha Hikari; they were exactly the same.

Looking closer, a diamond-shaped mark that he was very familiar with was dotted on her smooth forehead. His mouth twitched, and he exclaimed,

"Miss, men and women should not touch. In broad daylight, you... are you Hikari?"

"Haha, were you scared? I've already learned the Strength of a Hundred Seal!"

Seeing Gin's jaw drop in surprise, the plus-sized Uchiha Hikari in front of him covered her bright, red lips and giggled. Her black, beautiful eyes were filled with rippling spring water, making Uchiha Gin's heartbeat accelerate involuntarily.

"Ahem, ahem, I didn't expect you to learn the Strength of a Hundred Seal so quickly, Hikari. You truly are a genius."

Forcibly suppressing his restless clone, Uchiha Gin bent over and retreated a few steps, praising the advanced-experience version of Uchiha Hikari before him.

"Hmph, that's for sure. A mere Strength of a Hundred Seal is nothing at all."

Hearing this, Uchiha Hikari put her hands on her hips, showing off her perfect figure in front of Uchiha Gin.

Uchiha Hikari, who had adjusted her age to thirty, exuded a mature fragrance. Her bust wasn't astonishing, but it was worth exploring.

Her slender waist was only a handful, her lower curves were round and elastic, and her long, white legs were exposed to the air quite wastefully.

It made Uchiha Gin want to wrap her up in Balenciaga and savor her slowly under the pitch-black night.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but comment,

"Tsk tsk tsk, not bad, not bad~"

"Ah? Gin, why are you bending over?"

The curly-haired man, who was critiquing the future Uchiha Hikari, was jolted by her pure and clear gaze. His hot heart cooled instantly, and his bent back straightened up.

Seeing him look saintly, he looked at the confused mature girl and replied solemnly,

"I was saying that your talent, Hikari, is truly remarkable~"

"Phew, is the Strength of a Hundred Seal hard? Isn't it something you can do with your hands?"

Praised once again, the girl suddenly remembered that she seemed to be the last one to learn the Strength of a Hundred Seal. A bit of resentment arose in her heart. Pouting her red, full lips, she muttered to Uchiha Gin,

"Ah? What are you saying? The Strength of a Hundred Seal is a secret technique of extremely high difficulty. Ordinary people might not be able to learn it in a lifetime. If you can learn it, Hikari, you are truly one in a million..."

Uchiha Gin sensed the resentment in the girl's words and immediately began to explain the difficulty of learning the Strength of a Hundred Seal to Uchiha Hikari, emphasizing that only a genius could learn it.

Looking at the entire Naruto series, only Tsunade and Sakura had learned this youth-preserving divine technique. Its difficulty was far higher than any S-rank ninjutsu.

"Thud!!!"

Just as Uchiha Gin's words of praise were about to pour out, the heavy wooden door of the mansion was blasted open by a great force. The exquisite patterns on the door were shattered by this blow.

Fortunately, the whole house was a product of Wood Release. Those patterns destroyed by the great force were slowly recovering under the nourishment of Wood Release chakra. At the same time, it could be seen that the person who opened the door violently was definitely a repeat offender.

"Old woman, why did you run so fast? Didn't you see that I bought so many things with Sister Chiri?"

Tsk, why hasn't this brat's voice-changing period arrived yet? He's almost eighteen, right?

Uchiha Gin's half-spoken words were kicked back by Tobirama Senju. The somewhat annoyed curly-haired man looked up,

Preparing to lecture this hateful brat properly, and by the way, make an appointment for him with a doctor to check his development and cure his delayed vocal cord development.

Just as he shifted his gaze to Tobirama Senju, who was holding a pile of things—because the upper body of the other party was blocked by the mountain-like goods in his hands—

Uchiha Gin, who had only finished half of his lecture, suddenly saw the brat poking his head out from behind the mountain and shouted in surprise,

"You rebellious brat, if I don't beat you for a few days, you'll climb onto the roof and tear off the tiles. Uh? Uh? Uh! Uh!"

"Ah? Curly-haired baboon, you're back? Didn't you say you were accompanying your cousin on the front lines?"

Tilting his head, the confused Tobirama Senju asked. The other party's beautiful, androgynous appearance hadn't changed,

But the mark on his forehead, which should only be cultivatable by women, truly scared Uchiha Gin quite a bit.

Rubbing his wide-eyed dead fish eyes hard and confirming it again, he said tremblingly,

"You brat, how could you possibly learn the Strength of a Hundred Seal?"

In Uchiha Gin's skill bar, the Strength of a Hundred Seal was specifically noted that, apart from himself, the system owner, only females could learn it.

How did this brat Tobirama Senju deceive the system's screening and learn the Strength of a Hundred Seal? Was it by relying on the temptation of a little trap?

"Ha? Who are you looking down on? I was the first one to learn it! Take my punch!"

Never expecting his talent to be questioned, Tobirama Senju instantly transformed into an irritable pufferfish. Dropping the welcome party ingredients she had carefully selected and purchased, she jumped over to fight Uchiha Gin to the death.

"Ha? Is this f***ing Chakra Enhanced Strength?"

Watching the blue light erupting from her body and Tobirama Senju flying towards him aggressively, Uchiha Gin felt a chill in his heart.

Having long since mastered Chakra Enhanced Strength to the point where it couldn't be mastered further, he recognized at a glance the unique aura of Chakra Enhanced Strength on her.

"Alright, alright, Tobirama, Gin-sensei is just surprised. Don't be so loud, lest others laugh at you."

Just then, a sweet voice rang out. Uchiha Chiri, behind Tobirama Senju, reached out her hand. A large cherry-pink hand appeared out of thin air, firmly catching Tobirama Senju in mid-air. After comforting the brat with a few soft words, she put the pouting brat down.

"Little Chiri, I knew you could do it."

Compared to Tobirama Senju learning the Strength of a Hundred Seal, the diamond-shaped mark on Uchiha Chiri's forehead became very reasonable. Looking at his smiling apprentice, Uchiha Gin said with relief,

After the storm, the three women sat together with faint smiles on their faces. Three pairs of different beautiful eyes held the same inexplicable brilliance as they watched Uchiha Gin, who was wearing an apron and preparing welcome party dishes in the kitchen, and said in unison,

"Welcome home, Gin/Curly-haired baboon/Gin-sensei~"

Sticking to the storyline of the Warring States period, it was quite difficult for the little cat to write all the way through, and it also suffered many doubts, but fortunately, it gave the Warring States period a fairly perfect ending.

Warring States period finished, scattering flowers~

PS: There is still a bit about the decisive battle between the big cousin and Hashirama, let's count it as part of the founding of Konoha~ (#^. #)
