263. Chapter 263: Gin-san-san Limited Appearance

Uchiha Gin chatted with Senju Toka for a while, making her giggle repeatedly. He looked up at the simple and quiet Senju residence and asked.

"Where is Hashirama?"

"He's meditating in the inner courtyard~"

Senju Toka, whose mood had improved quite a bit, answered with a smile.

Recently, Senju Hashirama had been busy practicing a certain secret technique, throwing all the Hokage's work to Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Madara, acting as a hands-off boss at a young age. It was really enviable.

"Then we'll go find him first."

"Okay, remember to have a casual meal together later."

"Oh my~ how can I be so embarrassed? Can I order dishes?"

"..."

"Mr. Gin is really an interesting person."

Waving goodbye to Senju Toka, who was covering her mouth and smiling, Uchiha Gin took the little ones toward the inner courtyard.

Before they had even entered, Uchiha Gin suddenly sensed a familiar power. The natural energy in the air, which could be called viscous, made him raise his eyebrows in surprise.

He hadn't expected Hashirama to be practicing Sage Mode. Looking at this posture, the Sage Mode should be almost practiced.

Sigh~ Cousin, you are already an ant in autumn; you won't be able to jump for many days~

"Hashirama, we're coming in~"

Pushing open the door of the inner courtyard, Uchiha Gin was as casual as if entering his own home. He smiled and greeted Senju Hashirama, who was sitting cross-legged in the field.

"Phew~ Brother Gin, how do you have time to come over?"

Hearing the sudden sound, Senju Hashirama, who had just finished his Sage Mode practice, slowly opened his eyes, a hearty smile on his honest face, and stood up to ask.

"I happened to have nothing to do today, so I came to audit Kagami's practice."

Patting his nephew's little head, Uchiha Gin stated the purpose of this trip.

"So that's how it is!"

Senju Hashirama looked at the little ones with not-so-good complexions and showed a sudden realization expression.

Recently, because of practicing Sage Mode, he had forcibly conscripted Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Madara as acting Hokage, leaving himself free at home, which was really enviable.

But who was Senju Tobirama? A master who never suffered losses. Could he watch his brother leisurely slack off?

So, he entrusted the guidance of the little ones entirely to Senju Hashirama and indicated that there would be an assessment later to ensure his brother wasn't slacking off.

"Hello, Great Teacher!" *6

Seeing Senju Hashirama, the little ones, who were whispering just now, instantly stood up straight and greeted loudly.

The worship overflowing from their eyes showed that our Hokage's status in the hearts of the children was quite high~

"Hmm~ hello everyone."

Regarding the matter of bringing disciples, Senju Hashirama was actually a bit of a headache. After all, besides being reckless, he wasn't as good at teaching as Senju Tobirama.

However, fortunately, after understanding the family background of these children, Senju Hashirama breathed a sigh of relief.

The disciples Senju Tobirama had taken in were all children of ninja clans. Except for Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, who were small ninja clans with little fame, the others were all children of famous families.

As everyone knew, children of families would eventually choose to specialize in the ninjutsu and secret techniques accumulated by their families for many years, so the reason these children apprenticed was more out of political considerations.

However, these children were indeed worthy of being children of noble families, and their talents were all very good.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had all five attributes, Akimichi Torifu could perform family secret techniques at a young age, and Uchiha Kagami's shuriken and Fire Style had a bit of Madara's shadow when he was young.

As for Shimura Danzo...

At this age, he had already begun to explore his own secret techniques, which could be said to be gifted.

Even the inconspicuous Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura had their own unique talents.

Utatane Koharu had very delicate control over chakra, a good seedling for learning medical ninjutsu.

Mitokado Homura had no weak talent for space-time ninjutsu; if he could specialize in this path, his future achievements would definitely be remarkable.

"Hashirama, what do you usually teach them?"

Looking at the eager little ones, Uchiha Gin asked with some curiosity.

In his view, letting Senju Hashirama open an early education class was no different from using an anti-aircraft gun to hit a mosquito, or using a Wood Human to cut down a Mizuki.

"Haha, this..."

Hearing Uchiha Gin's question, Senju Hashirama scratched his head nervously, looking like he was looking everywhere but at him, and had to use a big laugh to cover up his embarrassment.

"The Great Teacher usually lets us raise questions during practice, and then he answers them one by one for us."

Uchiha Kagami, standing beside Uchiha Gin, explained to his uncle.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk~"

Senju Hashirama's teaching method was too Buddhist, right?

Sure enough, the BGM of praying to Buddha didn't sing in vain~

"Brother Gin, don't misunderstand. It's mainly because I really can't teach."

Seeing the mockery in Uchiha Gin's eyes, Senju Hashirama hurriedly explained.

"Don't look at these children being young; the basic qualities of ninjas are stronger than the next. I have nothing to teach about basic ninjutsu."

It wasn't Senju Hashirama's fault for slacking off. These little ones were all noble children with high status in their respective families. Under the careful cultivation of their families, ordinary basic ninjutsu had long been mastered, leaving him at a loss as to what to teach.

Teaching something too simple, they already knew; teaching something too difficult, he was afraid these children couldn't accept it. In desperation, Senju Hashirama had to choose Buddhist teaching, with the daily course being to point out questions about practice.

"Hashirama, doing this is a bit unkind, right?"

Uchiha Gin, hearing Senju Hashirama's explanation, was furious. He had paid tuition to that white-haired guy, and these brothers were so perfunctory; it was suspected of fraud.

"Ah, this..."

Questioned, Senju Hashirama was sweating profusely. Feeling guilty, he didn't even dare to look directly into Uchiha Gin's righteous eyes.

"I'm really not good at teaching things. Brother Gin, please spare me~"

"Aren't you just wasting people's talent like this?"

Uchiha Gin couldn't help but speak up for the little ones. Regardless of the future, in his eyes, these little ones had good talent.

If they were taught according to their aptitude and polished well, they would definitely be the pillars of Konoha in the future, burning themselves to shine for the Will of Fire.

"No way, the profession doesn't match!"

If you let Senju Hashirama kill people, he could push from the Land of Water to the Land of Wind without blinking.

"But this kind of work of teaching children is really..."

"Hmph~ isn't it just a cram school? It's not that difficult. I think you just want to slack off!"

"Kagami, this uncle of yours, he doesn't look very old, how dare he scold the Hokage?"

Among the little ones watching the argument between the two, as a girl with relatively strong curiosity, Utatane Koharu couldn't help but poke Uchiha Kagami, who was standing in front of her, and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, yes~"

"He can even spray the Hokage in the face. Money really can do whatever it wants!"

"Don't look at Uncle Gin like this; he is actually over forty years old."

Uchiha Kagami was already used to this kind of operation by Uchiha Gin. After all, he was a ruthless person who dared to knock the Clan Leader's head during the clan meeting.

"Ah? This guy is actually so old?"

Little Danzo's confused head was now filled with question marks. He originally thought Uchiha Gin was about thirty years old, but he didn't expect his actual age to be so much older.

"Then why does he look so young?"

Utatane Koharu's focus was on Uchiha Gin's appearance that didn't match his age. If it were an ordinary forty-year-old, he would have long become an old piece of bacon.

"Uh, I don't know about this. Maybe it's some kind of secret technique~"

The secret of the Yin Seal was only known to a few people in the upper echelons of Konoha. Uchiha Kagami, as a relative of the Clan Leader's lineage, had only heard of it and didn't know the specific content.

"Uh, how about this, Brother Gin, you help me formulate a teaching plan, and I'll count it as an S-rank mission for you."

"Huh?"

Uchiha Gin, who was condemning Senju Hashirama endlessly, suddenly heard what the other party said and was directly stunned, his pair of white eyes rolling up.

A mere S-rank mission? Who do you think I, Uchiha Gin, am?

"Ah..."

Not expecting Uchiha Gin to be unmoved by this, Senju Hashirama scratched his head in trouble, then seemed to have remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he added.

"Brother Gin, Konoha's prison is almost finished recently..."

"It's a deal, brother! A mere teaching plan, isn't it just a matter of hand!"

You should have said this earlier, and I wouldn't be sleepy~

Changing his face in one second, Uchiha Gin, who had put on another face, smiled and patted Senju Hashirama on the shoulder, taking on this arduous task.

Sure enough, just as Madara said, Brother Gin had a "honey-like" obsession with the work of the dungeon.

Two adults who had reached some kind of shameful deal smiled at each other and walked together to the uneasy little ones.

"Cough, cough... children, Brother Gin will be your substitute teacher today and formulate a learning plan tailored for you."

With a serious expression, Senju Hashirama introduced the temporary lecturer for today to the children.

"Brother Gin is an old-school Uchiha. He has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. You must seize the opportunity. Whether you can take off depends on today~"

"Huh???"

"But I can eat ten jin of rice a day?"

Compared to the surprise of others, Akimichi Torifu's focus was on the amount of food. As a member of the food clan, he had absolute confidence in his appetite.

"Sigh~ who told me to be the most loving Uchiha!"

Uchiha Gin, who walked to the little ones, showed a gentle smile and looked at these little brats with not-so-good complexions.

"Hashirama's teaching method before did have some flaws, but after all, he is the Hokage, busy with official business, so we can understand."

"..."

Hearing this, the little ones rarely didn't refute, but looked at Senju Hashirama on the side with strange eyes. That's called "some flaws"?

Although they were small, they weren't stupid. Senju Hashirama's teaching method before was no different from letting them go.

The little ones, out of the status of Senju Hashirama as the person in charge of Konoha, could only pinch their noses and admit it, and only reported the good news but not the bad news to their parents when they went home, indicating that the Hokage taught by example and didn't hide anything.

"But you don't have to worry anymore. I, Uchiha Gin, am here, and your future is here!"

Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows, took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from nowhere, and after putting them on, his temperament changed. The usual salted-fish feeling was swept away, and he felt reliable.

The little ones, who originally had some grumbling about Uchiha Gin, suddenly felt inexplicably at ease after he put on the glasses, and one by one they looked forward to it, expecting this unusual public class.

"Brother Gin, this is their usual assessment record, please take a look."

Senju Hashirama handed over a stack of data, which contained the data recorded by Senju Tobirama himself.

"From now on, don't call me Brother, call me Gin-san-san!"

Uchiha Gin, who entered the play in one second, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, incarnated as a famous teacher in the ninja world, and said very seriously.

"Uh, Gin-san-san, please take a look!"

I am the one who cooperates with your performance, but you don't see it~

Flipping through the information in his hand, Uchiha Gin's eyes were full of thought. These data contained detailed records of the children's physical development, moral character, and proficiency in attributes. It could be seen that Senju Tobirama was not perfunctory to these disciples, but very attentive.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, your foundation is good, all five attributes are complete."

Uchiha Gin, who had finished browsing the information, was the first to walk to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was nervous. Looking at the green future Third Hokage, he smiled very mockingly.

"All thanks to the ancestors."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had suffered losses in Uchiha Gin's hands, immediately straightened his body, not daring to have a trace of pride on his face.

"Don't be humble with me. Just based on this point, you have already surpassed many of your peers."

Although the late Hokage weakened the concept of ninjutsu, and everything was solved with a ball, ninjutsu, as the foundation of ordinary ninjas, being able to possess the talent of being proficient in five-element ninjutsu was already a leader among ninjas without foreign bloodlines.

"Hehe~"

No matter how old he was, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still a child under ten years old. After hearing such high praise, he still revealed the innocence that should belong to this age group.

"However, if you continue to practice five-element ninjutsu in this way, I'm afraid it's a bit of a waste of your talent."

"Really?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was ecstatic.

No, I said your future is as bad as your father's, why are you still happy?

"Cough, cough, cough... Hiruzen, do you have a dream?"

"Father is as strong as ever. I would be satisfied if I could achieve half of his achievements in the future~"

All right, all right, there are no spies from your Sarutobi family here, so stop pretending for me, okay?

"That's a pity. Originally, you had a chance to surpass your father..."

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen so ignorant, Uchiha Gin shook his head with regret.

"Uncle Gin! You..."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was still acting like a fan, changed his face and hurriedly shouted.

"Call me San-san!"

"Gin-san-san, are you telling the truth? Can I really surpass Father?"

With a look of shock on his face, Sarutobi Hiruzen's little head spun rapidly. Surpassing the older generation was the dream of every child, and he couldn't be an exception.

But Sarutobi Sasuke's strength was deeply imprinted in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, gradually becoming some kind of inner demon.

"It's a deal! As long as you are willing to buy my course, within ten years, I can let you hang and beat your father~"

"Really?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Gin's confident expression, his little face full of doubt.

This teacher is not a pyramid scheme lecturer, right?

Not to mention ten years, even after twenty years, I might not be my father's opponent.

"Hiruzen, do you understand the wisdom of 'all-in'?"

Uchiha Gin, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was retreating, said with some breathlessness.

"I don't understand, but I don't respect it either."

You guy just want to cheat my New Year's money, right? I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, am not some three-year-old child!

"Fight for it, the Clan Leader becomes the Hokage!"

"I'll buy it!" (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 264 =====
