267. Chapter 267: I Said Bai Mao Wouldn't Be That Tang

Land of Lightning

"Boom~"

The sky was filled with lightning, illuminating the houses built along the mountainside. This was the Hidden Cloud Village, the hometown of Hei Laoda.

Located on the peak of the highest mountain sat the newly completed Raikage Building. From this position, one could overlook the entire Hidden Cloud Village.

In the Raikage's office, a tall Hei Laoda was diligently doing aerobic exercise. His bulging muscles were clearly defined, rising slightly with each rhythmic movement.

"Lord Raikage!"

Just as Hei Laoda was contentedly admiring the muscles he had worked so hard to forge, the tightly closed door was smashed open by a pair of rough, large hands.

"Hoo~ What happened this time?"

The First Raikage frowned, casually picked up the towel beside him and draped it over his shoulders, shook the dense beads of sweat from his head, and wore a look of slight helplessness on his rugged face.

"There is a letter for you."

Hei Laoda, who had pushed the door open, had a face full of respect and a very meticulously trimmed beard. He looked left and right, as if searching for something, and only after confirming that no one else was present did he take out the letter from his bosom.

"Isn't it just a letter? Why make it so mysterious?"

The First Raikage, who had thought something major had happened, rolled his eyes helplessly. Aside from being a bit overly cautious in his work, this Hei Laoda was truly impeccable in other aspects.

"It's not that I want to be so mysterious; I'm worried that the Jin Jiao brothers will see this letter and do something outrageous."

The bearded Laoda sighed and handed over the letter in his hand.

"It's a letter sent by Senju Hashirama."

"Senju Hashirama? The First Hokage of Konoha. That indeed requires caution."

The First Raikage, who had taken the letter, suddenly realized the situation upon hearing the great name of Senju Hashirama, and then nodded in agreement.

The two words "Senju" were a taboo for the Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao brothers. If they were to find out about the existence of this letter, wouldn't they turn everything upside down?

Previously, because he had rejected their qualifications as candidates for the Second Raikage on the grounds that the two brothers were too young, those two guys were still throwing a tantrum~

"Let me see... Five Kage Summit? Is he trying to mediate the war between the Land of Earth and the Land of Water? This guy is quite naive."

Browsing through the sincere invitation in his hand, the First Raikage chuckled and commented.

He didn't want to participate in the wars of other countries at all; focusing on developing himself was the best choice. The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning had some blood relations with the Yotsuki clan, so the funding for building the village was very sufficient.

Previously, when the Land of Water requested passage, he hadn't made an exorbitant demand; he only asked that old guy Bai Lian to help the Hidden Cloud Village find their missing Turtle Island in the sea.

That was the divine beast of the Land of Lightning, and on its huge turtle back, it carried the secret realm that had been passed down in the Land of Lightning for a thousand years.

"Do not make this matter public for now, especially do not let Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao know. When the day of the appointment comes, you and I will go together."

"Yes!"

Konoha

By now, night had fallen, and every household was brightly lit. A figure wrapped tightly in a cloak walked quickly along the street, and in a moment, arrived in front of a luxurious mansion.

"Bang, bang, bang~"

"It's so late, who is it?"

Senju Itama, who was preparing to rest, was wearing black and white striped pajamas and opened the door with an unhappy expression. She wanted to see which shameless little green tea was knocking on the door of a pure-hearted middle-aged man in the middle of the night.

"Shh~ Keep it down."

When the black-robed person saw that the person who opened the door was Senju Itama, he immediately shushed her, and then squeezed in very familiarly.

"Your second brother?"

Not expecting this intruder to be so bold, Senju Itama tightened her delicate fist, and a faint blue light overflowed. However, upon hearing the somewhat familiar voice, she slowly lowered her fist and looked at the mysterious person in front of her with her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"It's me."

The mysterious intruder took off his cloak, revealing that eye-catching white hair. Senju Tobirama's cold face carried a rare gentleness as he said to the somewhat dazed Senju Itama.

"No, what are you here for? I'm not going back!"

Without the deep sibling affection Senju Tobirama had imagined, Senju Itama, with an unnatural expression, immediately took a step back and said very vigilantly.

She was about to take down the curly-haired baboon, and she couldn't let her second brother ruin her years of hard work in one fell swoop.

"I... I'm here to find Uchiha Gin. Is he here?"

Looking at his sister who was turning her elbows and thighs outward, Senju Tobirama almost choked. After silently reciting "It's curly hair" ten thousand times in his heart, he calmed his mood slightly, then put on a serious look.

"You're looking for the curly-haired baboon? He just said he was going to the backyard to get some air. You can go find him there~"

Seeing that his second brother's goal wasn't her, Senju Itama immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then pointed to the location of the backyard.

"Then I'll go first."

As long as that curly hair is there, it's fine. Senju Tobirama nodded and turned to walk towards the backyard. After taking a few steps, he still couldn't help but turn his head back, his eyes full of entanglement and complexity. He hesitated for a moment and said to his sister.

"Itama, Big Brother is already the Hokage now, you can..."

"No need, Second Brother, I think it's quite good as it is now."

Senju Itama felt a warmth in her heart, but she still shook her head and interrupted Senju Tobirama's next words. She knew that her second brother was worried that she was being wronged here.

In fact, after so many years, Senju Itama had already become accustomed to life by Uchiha Gin's side. Every little detail of daily life made it difficult for her to let go.

"But..."

"Rest assured, he is a good person."

Don't I know whether the curly hair is a good person or not?

"Alright, the Senju clan will always be your solid backing. If there is anything you want to do, just go ahead and do it boldly!"

"Hmph, hmph~ A mere curly-haired baboon, I can handle him all by myself!"

What kind of female brat speech is that?

In the backyard, Uchiha Gin's slender figure stood proudly, his eyes tightly closed, and his expression was unclear. A head of fluffy curly hair moved without wind. Under the cold, bright moonlight, his whole person seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious mist, appearing fairy-like.

Looking closer, Uchiha Gin's handsome face was actually covered with several gorgeous patterns. When he slowly opened his eyes, those patterns slowly faded towards the direction of the Yin Seal mark on his forehead.

"I've been quite lucky during this period. It seems that burning paper for the ancestors before was the right choice~"

After all the natural energy in his body was retracted into the Yin Seal on his forehead, Uchiha Gin grinned and said with a smile.

Sure enough, burning a large wave of roast chicken for the ancestors was the right choice!

Otsutsuki Hamura: Filial son! A filial son indeed!

Just a moment ago, Uchiha Gin had overturned the future crown prince in the backyard, and after ravaging the other party, he had obtained the last fragment of Sage Mode.

After impatiently synthesizing it, he immediately tried the new skill that was still hot. He found that Sage Mode was indeed something, and his Ninjutsu, Body, and Essence had increased significantly. Unfortunately, the Wisdom and Charm panels remained motionless.

Wisdom: ⑨

Charm: 1

Looking at the patterns of Sage Mode again, they coincidentally resembled the patterns of the Strength of a Hundred Seal. So, Uchiha Gin tried to introduce the natural energy in his body into the Yin Seal mark and found that this process was very smooth. The mark on his forehead could actually store natural energy.

Does this count as cheating?

Uchiha Gin, who had exited Sage Mode, touched his chin and began to ponder. A faint light flickered in his eyes, and a flash of inspiration suddenly struck his heart. He immediately hammered his palm as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Could it be that I am the protagonist of this novel?"

"What are you muttering about?"

Just as Uchiha Gin was lost in his delusions, a cold voice filled with hatred sounded behind him.

Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Uchiha Gin turned his head in surprise, looking at Senju Tobirama, whose face was slightly cold and clearly in a bad mood, and asked.

"What wind blew you here? Sneaking around in the middle of the night, wouldn't it be to get the black material of my cousin from my mouth?"

"I..."

Senju Tobirama's breath stagnated upon hearing this. Looking at Uchiha Gin, who had a firm expression in front of him, he took a deep breath and was just about to state his intention, but heard the curly hair opposite him change the subject, his words full of worldliness.

"First, I declare, if you can't meet my target price, everything is off the table!"

"Hoo! Let's discuss this matter in detail when there is an opportunity~"

After being stunned for several seconds, Senju Tobirama, who had turned the corner in his head, looked at Uchiha Gin in front of him with very complex eyes. He didn't close the door on the matter.

After all, it concerned the position of the Second Hokage. If he had black material on his competitor, his chances of winning would be greater.

"I came here today because I have something to discuss with you."

Straightening his expression, Senju Tobirama organized his wording and said.

Discuss?

Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

Things that Senju Tobirama could call a discussion could basically be interpreted as this kid having something to ask for.

"What is it?"

Without exposing Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Gin lay lazily on the lounge chair in the backyard, looking calm and composed.

He also really wanted to know what kind of matter could make Senju Tobirama lower his face and discuss it with an Uchiha.

"It's about the Tailed Beasts."

"Tailed Beasts?"

Uchiha Gin thought that he hadn't gone to pluck the hair of the Tailed Beasts during this period. Could it be that some rumors had reached the ears of this white hair, so the other party came to knock him down in the middle of the night?

"I came here this time mainly to ask if there is anyone in your Uchiha clan who can implant long-term or even permanent commands into the brains of the Tailed Beasts?"

Without beating around the bush, Senju Tobirama went straight to the point and raised his question.

"Huh?"

Uchiha Gin became alert instantly, his lifeless dead fish eyes full of suspicion. He looked up and down at Senju Tobirama in front of him, while secretly thinking in his heart.

Good heavens, this white hair wants to trick me and then use this as an excuse to suppress the Uchiha clan? Too despicable~

Is this the so-called "innocence is a crime, but holding a jade is a crime"?

"What kind of look is that? I'm asking seriously, is there or isn't there!"

Looking at Uchiha Gin's strange eyes and brilliant facial expressions, Senju Tobirama frowned and urged.

He had fought with the Uchiha clan for many years, and he was almost half an Uchiha himself.

Senju Tobirama had already studied ordinary Sharingan quite thoroughly. If he relied solely on the pupil power of the Three-Tomoe, he could only temporarily control the Tailed Beasts, and if he was not careful, the technique would be broken.

But the Mangekyo was not necessarily the case. Senju Tobirama's understanding of it was not deep enough, especially the mysterious and unpredictable pupil techniques, of which he knew very little.

If there was really someone on the Uchiha side who had the ability to implant permanent commands into the brains of the Tailed Beasts, then his plan could proceed as scheduled.

"Let's not talk about whether there is one or not. Tell me first, what exactly are you going to do?"

Uchiha Gin looked at Senju Tobirama, who had an impatient look on his face, thinking that this white hair shouldn't be that stupid. He shook his head and asked back.

"Uh... telling you is fine."

Regarding Uchiha Gin's counter-question, Senju Tobirama performed as he expected. After a brief pondering, he slowly said.

"Big Brother and I have decided to distribute the Tailed Beasts to the other four great nations as a balance."

"Is your brain broken? You can even come up with such a Tang thing?"

Uchiha Gin was speechless upon hearing this. Such nuclear weapons are being given away for free? Are you, this white hair, a Tang-style White Zetsu in disguise?

"If you are really idle, you can let Hashirama Laodi and my cousin take the Tailed Beasts to flatten the four great nations, and by the way, expand the territory of the Land of Fire."

"Sigh~ If it were really possible to do that, I would want to do it too, but reality doesn't allow it."

Hearing Uchiha Gin's teasing words, Senju Tobirama rarely got angry. He shook his head gently and said.

"Big Brother will definitely not agree to an invasion operation. You know that person of his; he has spent his whole life fighting just to seek peace. The probability of him taking the initiative to start a war is not as high as him marrying Uchiha Madara."

Hey, hey, hey, is there anyone who arranges things like you?

"So you just want to send the Tailed Beasts out?"

"Send? Who told you I wanted to send them?"

Hearing the word "send," Senju Tobirama's expression stiffened, and he immediately frowned and said hatefully.

"I won't stop until I empty the war funds of the four great nations!"

Hmph, hmph~ Let's see how you can fight when you have no money. Go and do missions to earn money~

"Good, good, good!"

This fits your persona. Uchiha Gin hasn't seen anyone who can squeeze a penny out of Senju Tobirama's hands, not even Senju Hashirama can do it.

"Besides, how could I possibly sell the Tailed Beasts to them intact?"

Senju Tobirama sneered, and a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes. With his narrow-mindedness, how could he really sell good weapons to the enemy? He must be selling defective products, the kind that explodes upon use.

"Got it, I got it~"

After listening to Senju Tobirama's words, Uchiha Gin was enlightened on the spot. Looking at the white hair, his eyes were full of wariness and a trace of imperceptible approval.

Fortunately, this guy is a teammate. If he were an enemy, he would have to wear iron underpants when sleeping at night.

"Then tell me, is there that kind of technique?"

"Absolutely!"

If he had asked before, there definitely wouldn't be, but since Senju Tobirama said so, Uchiha Gin nodded immediately.

This kind of technique for implanting suggestive commands in the brain is actually very simple. It only requires the caster to plant a wedge condensed from pupil power into the target's brain. But for an ordinary Three-Tomoe, it's just implanting, and if it were a Tailed Beast, it would probably be counter-killed before the wedge was even hit in.

"How long can it last?"

This is the question Senju Tobirama is concerned about. Naturally, the longer this kind of control lasts, the better.

"That's hard to say. If there are no accidents, it can be controlled until death~"

Uchiha Gin scratched his face. If it were Little Guang, there should be no pressure. Anyway, the pupil power of the Eternal Eye is endless, and the girl with equipment support doesn't have to worry about Chakra. Basically, she can control the Tailed Beast until the end of time.

"Really?"

Hearing this answer, Senju Tobirama's face was full of joy, and the look in his eyes when looking at Uchiha Gin changed, making a certain curly hair feel a bit uncomfortable.

"When can it be operated?"

"Tomorrow! Let's sleep tonight~"

"..."

"Remember, this matter must be kept from Big Brother."

Finally, after conspiring with Uchiha Gin, Senju Tobirama disappeared into the night with light steps.

"Sigh~ Why wouldn't I say that the Uchiha are the backbone of Konoha? You Senju only need to move your lips, while we Uchiha have to pay much more~"

Uchiha Gin sighed, suddenly feeling a sense of mission.

The next day

"Little Guang, there's work to do, and it's a big job~"

Uchiha Guang, who was eating breakfast, looked at Uchiha Gin, who was ready to go, with some confusion. After hearing what the other party said, her whole person instantly turned into a big question mark.

"A-Gin, the Tailed Beast mission hasn't been finished yet, is there a new mission?"

"It doesn't count as a new mission."

After the girl finished her breakfast, Uchiha Gin pressed his hand on Uchiha Guang's shoulder. With a flash of golden light, the two disappeared from the spot instantly.

"Ah? I still have soup to drink!"

Senju Itama, holding the soup, looked at the empty restaurant in a daze, and the soup in her hand was instantly no longer fragrant.

The Tailed Beasts hypnotized by Uchiha Guang and Uchiha Zhili were lying honestly on the spot sunbathing. Even when Uchiha Gin and the girl suddenly appeared, these big guys didn't even lift their eyes.

"Woohoo, these guys have recovered quite well~"

Looking up and observing the Tailed Beasts he hadn't seen for a long time, Uchiha Gin was surprised to find that the tails he had cut off before had recovered as before, but it felt like the size of these Tailed Beasts had shrunk a bit.

Probably because they are hungry~

Uchiha Gin didn't continue to dwell on the side issues like size. He turned to look at the ignorant Uchiha Guang and told the girl about the matter entrusted by Senju Tobirama.

"Planting wedges for these Tailed Beasts? What are the requirements?"

After the girl finished listening, she expressed that things like giving commands were not too simple, but she didn't know if Uchiha Gin had any other requirements.

"Uh... just the kind of command that can control the Tailed Beast to go berserk at any time. And then, it's best if the time is longer. Ten or eight years is not too little, and one or two hundred years is not too much~"

Senju Tobirama didn't go into detail about the content of the command last night, but the general meaning was that it could trip up the villages that possessed Tailed Beasts at any time.

"Okay, no big problem~"

After digesting Uchiha Gin's commission, the girl's eyes condensed, and the scarlet color flourished. The pressure belonging to the Eternal Eye slowly overflowed, causing the Tailed Beasts under control to subconsciously shrink their tails.

The following process was very boring. The girl glared at the Tailed Beast, and the cold and majestic pupil power invaded. After a few minutes, the Tailed Beast tilted its head, and it was a success.

"Little Guang, if it's too difficult, let's forget it. Just plant a wedge with a ten or eight-year term~"

Looking at the fine sweat seeping from the girl's forehead, Uchiha Gin wiped it off for her with some heartache, and then advised.

"It doesn't matter. As long as it's something A-Gin wants to do, I will go all out."

A intoxicating blush flashed across Uchiha Guang's face. Looking at Uchiha Gin, who had a worried look, she felt a thick sweetness in her heart. The pupil power in her eyes also became more flowing with the change of her emotions.

"Boom~"

Before long, as Gyuki's huge bull head fell to the ground, the girl slowly closed her eyes, and her whole person fell into Uchiha Gin's arms.

"Little Guang!"

Holding the limp girl and gently stroking Uchiha Guang's sweaty cheeks, Uchiha Gin felt a bit self-blaming.

"A-Gin, daijobu~"

Uchiha Guang, who looked extremely weak but was actually full of spirit, forced her pores to squeeze out fragrant sweat. Leaning in Uchiha Gin's arms, the girl's slightly narrowed eyes were very much enjoying this treatment. Then her sandalwood mouth opened slightly, and her voice was soft and moving.

"Little Guang..."

Although Uchiha Gin sensed that the girl's breath in his arms was not weak at all, looking at the so delicate Uchiha Guang, he still chose to suppress his doubts in his heart.

"Let's go, let's go home~"

Holding Uchiha Guang in a princess carry, the girl also naturally wrapped her lotus arms around Uchiha Gin's neck. Their eyes met, and the air was filled with an indescribable ambiguity.

"A-Gin~"

"Little Guang~"

When the feelings were deep, the two were about to have a tense and exciting chicken-eating battle in this wilderness.

Just at this critical moment, a hurried figure appeared not far away. Uchiha Zhili, with a big purple wave, was rushing here with an anxious face.

Just a while ago, Uchiha Zhili suddenly sensed that the wedge she had planted had been destroyed. She was so anxious that she didn't even finish her breakfast and ran for her life to check the situation of the Tailed Beasts.

As a result, the scene played out on the spot broke the girl's heart. Although she had expected such things, seeing Uchiha Gin and Uchiha Guang in such an ambiguous scene, Uchiha Zhili only wanted to escape this world in pain.

Driven by strong emotions, Uchiha Zhili's eyes unconsciously turned into Mangekyo, and the clover pattern in them was also spinning rapidly and transforming under the urging of unknown energy...
