Chapter 27

The moment the system prompted, Uchiha Gin only felt a coolness in his hands, and the heart-burning pain brought by Amaterasu just now disappeared without a trace.

There was no abnormality in his body, as if everything just now had been a dream.

It was just that the inexplicable swelling pain in his right eye made him unable to adapt for a while. The scarlet double-tomoe rotated rapidly in his eyes, and a cold aura gathered within, giving him a feeling of stifling frustration.

Trying to guide this energy, Uchiha Gin vented the energy toward the open space in front of him, self-taught.

As a "flower" of black flames ignited out of thin air in the open space, Uchiha Gin only felt his pupil power being consumed rapidly.

Warm fresh blood also overflowed from the corners of his eyes, scaring him into quickly closing his Sharingan.

The black flame on the open ground, comparable to a lighter flame, slowly dissipated into the air as Uchiha Gin closed his Sharingan.

Uchiha Gin, who had been emptied by a small bit of Amaterasu, panted, wiped away the fresh blood from the corners of his eyes, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

As a skill exclusive to the Mangekyou, how could he use a mere double-tomoe Sharingan to release it?

"Could it be the system?"

Unable to get an explanation from common sense, he could only forcibly blame the system.

After resting for a while, Uchiha Gin stood up and touched his right eye, which was still aching.

The appearance of Amaterasu made up for his lack of ninjutsu damage. The damage of the Strength of a Hundred was indeed powerful, but he was helpless when encountering agile enemies.

"However, Amaterasu doesn't seem to have burned anyone to death in the original work except for burning White Zetsu."

Recalling the record of Amaterasu in the original work, Uchiha Gin complained in his heart.

Turning back into the room, Senju Itama was still snoring. Uchiha Gin lay on the sofa, looking at his hands with a solemn expression.

Just now, when he encountered the Amaterasu attack, he had already made up his mind to cut off his arm, but he didn't expect to trigger a strange protection mechanism by mistake.

He could barely infer that the Uzumaki clan emblem on his right hand was a special protection specifically given by the Uzumaki clan.

It was triggered passively when encountering danger. The runes just now were probably the Fire Sealing Method, which should have been automatically cast after the mark encountered fire-style damage.

"But the left hand..."

Uchiha Gin looked at the back of his empty left hand and tried to use chakra to probe the entire left hand, but it was like a clay ox entering the sea; it just slowly consumed chakra, and there was no other reaction.

Recalling the strange mark that flashed by just now, Uchiha Gin tried to find the answer in the original owner's memories, but still gained nothing.

Since crossing over, he had browsed the original owner's memories more than once. The childhood ones might be vague because he was young.

The memories of the camp being attacked in his youth appeared fragmented; it should have been an avoidance mechanism made by the original owner's brain because the scene at that time was too tragic and stimulating.

The memories after that were very plain, the daily life of a weakling, until his appearance, replacing the original owner.

Lay flat!

Unable to find the answer, Uchiha Gin simply gave up. He had to go to work tomorrow, so he relaxed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Uchiha Gin, who got up early, lifted Senju Itama's quilt. Looking at Senju Itama sleeping soundly on the bed while hugging his childhood clothes, Uchiha Gin didn't spoil him and immediately gave him a classic flick to the forehead.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

Senju Itama, holding his head, woke up instantly, covering his head and looking at the culprit in front of him,

"Ouch, what are you doing!"

Ignoring his familiar-sounding "kun" speech, Uchiha Gin said,

"I'm going to work today. There's food in the kitchen. Don't think about running away either. There are Uchiha everywhere outside. If you get recognized, you should know the consequences."

Knowing his situation, Senju Itama pursed his lips and nodded reluctantly.

"I'll buy some hair dye when I come back tonight to change that conspicuous hair color of yours first."

Uchiha Gin said to him before turning to leave.

After going out, Uchiha Gin slowly headed toward the dungeon according to the original owner's memories.

On the way, he met several Uchiha clansmen. He reached out to greet them, but when they saw him, they acted as if they had seen a flood or a beast, walking away quickly without looking back, leaving Uchiha Gin looking confused.

Recalling the original owner's usual reputation, Uchiha Gin could only shake his head helplessly. This situation couldn't be changed overnight.

Arriving in front of a gloomy gate, Uchiha Gin knocked hard on the door. A moment later, a small hole opened on the door, revealing the face of the gloomy Uchiha clansman who had come to notify him yesterday.

The other party glanced at him and then closed the small hole. Then the gate opened slowly. Uchiha Gin didn't doubt it and walked in slowly.

Following the gloomy Uchiha clansman, Uchiha Gin passed through a dark and narrow corridor and another door. As the road became wider, the view wasn't dim, and torches were inserted on the walls on both sides to provide lighting.

"From now on, I am your superior."

The Uchiha clansman leading the way in front spoke suddenly, his voice as if coming from the Nine Netherworlds, making people feel a chill all over.

"May I ask how I should address you?"

Uchiha Gin couldn't grasp the other's temper, so he had to ask for his name first.

"Uchiha Liuying."

The other party left a cold sentence.

The two walked and walked, feeling that this dungeon seemed bottomless. I don't know how long they walked, but Uchiha Liuying stopped.

Uchiha Gin behind him looked up and saw a small door with the words "Archive Room" written on it.

Uchiha Liuying brought him in. What met his eyes were piles of scrolls scattered randomly on the table, the floor, and the bookshelves, as if they had been robbed.

Facing Uchiha Gin's puzzled look, Uchiha Liuying said,

"The previous archivist sacrificed himself, and the file directory he organized is also gone. Now you will reorganize it."

Following his explanation, Uchiha Gin learned that the dungeon's previous file manager had sacrificed himself while out, and the file directory had also disappeared with his death.

The clan had to search one by one to retrieve prisoner information, which was very laborious.

Not only was the archive room a mess, but the efficiency of searching was like a turtle's speed. A new file manager was urgently needed to re-verify and classify the prisoners.

Looking at the scattered scrolls all over the room, Uchiha Gin had a headache. He also guessed that Uchiha Tajima didn't want him to go out again, but he didn't expect the other party to give him such a homebody task.

This room full of scrolls would probably take him a long time to verify.

"Do I have any helpers? So much data..."

Uchiha Gin tried to ask.

"There is no extra manpower."

The withered-faced Uchiha Liuying looked at him expressionlessly. From his lifeless eyes, Uchiha Gin couldn't see a trace of fluctuation, like a robot without emotions.

"All right."

Uchiha Gin had to reluctantly accept this task,

"What about meals? And how do I rest?"

"The dungeon has a cafeteria, and you can go home at night."

Uchiha Liuying was concise.

Hearing that he could go home, Uchiha Gin breathed a sigh of relief. There was still a dangerous kid at home. If he couldn't go back and something happened to Senju Itama, he would suffer too.

"To facilitate your verification of data, you can enter and exit the cells in the dungeon at will."

Uchiha Liuying's calm eyes turned and looked at him, saying,

"Although the prisoners have their chakra sealed and their hands and feet bound, they are all extremely dangerous figures."

Hearing that Uchiha Liuying would actually remind him made him quite surprised.

"Don't die; it's hard for me to explain to Elder Yan."

Well, thank you very much then.

After giving the instructions, Uchiha Liuying didn't stay, left on his own, and left Uchiha Gin there alone.

Shaking his head, Uchiha Gin had to start his work.

First, he picked up all the scrolls scattered on the floor and piled them on the only desk in the archive room.

Looking at the mountain of scrolls in front of him, Uchiha Gin sighed, picked one up at random, opened it, and began to read.

"Kaguya Zhangzhu: Wandering ninja, murdered two Uchiha clansmen, suspected of having mental problems, unable to use illusion interrogation, data unknown... currently imprisoned in Dungeon No. 2."

Kaguya, huh?

Out of curiosity about a clan that had appeared in the original work, Uchiha Gin immediately decided to go and see this guy.
