Chapter 306: The Story of Tobirama Senju's Misfortune

Early morning, the sky was not yet bright.

The proud little rooster was just preparing to get up for work, but with sleepy eyes, it was surprised to see a figure slowly walking down the street.

To actually wake up earlier than it—was this a cow or a horse?

"Bang, bang, bang~"

Uchiha Gin, who was in the middle of a fierce battle with a white-haired royal sister in his dreams, was interrupted by a perfectly timed knocking sound; cursing, he put on the pants he had just half-removed, then woke up from his dream.

"Creak~"

"No matter who you are, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, wait for your whole family to drop dead!"

With slightly red eyes, Uchiha Gin, draped in a bathrobe and full of resentment, swayed down the stairs; in his words, he had already sentenced the other party to death.

Don't you know how important sleep is for a man facing a midlife crisis?

"Even the Sage of Six Paths can't save you, I said it!"

Yanking the door open, Uchiha Gin gritted his teeth and said hatefully to the person outside,

"At your age, you can still sleep?"

The person knocking on the door was not at all afraid of Uchiha Gin's harsh words; instead, he looked at the curly-haired bird's nest in front of him with a calm face and teased,

"You TM..."

You don't even go to the Hidden Leaf Village to ask around who is the boss of this village.

Do you know Hashirama Senju? That is my dearest friend and brother.

Offend me, and I'll send you to see the Sage of Six Paths in a minute.

"Hmph!"

Hearing Uchiha Gin's beautiful ninja world language, the visitor frowned, a flash of sharp light passed through his scarlet eyes, and his whole body exuded a chilling coldness; the warning huff made the sleepy curly-haired man shudder.

Not expecting the person knocking to be so arrogant, the sluggish Uchiha Gin forcibly pried open his drooping eyelids,

wanting to see exactly who was so bold.

"Uh... why is it you, white-hair?"

After his pupils focused and he saw the visitor clearly, Uchiha Gin rolled his eyes in annoyance,

"What, surprised? I am here today..."

"Slap!!!"

Then, without waiting for Tobirama Senju to say anything, he slammed the door shut, preparing to go back to his date with the white-haired royal sister.

"Aminos!"

Having been shut out, Tobirama Senju felt the veins on his forehead bulge; suppressing the urge to lift his finger, he knocked on the door again.

"Bang, bang, bang~"

"Creak~"

Unexpectedly, the door opened very quickly this time; having suffered a loss once, Tobirama Senju decided to take the initiative this time,

"Uchiha Gin, I am here early..."

Unexpectedly, the person opening the door this time was not the punchable curly-haired man from before, but a sleepy young girl with twin tails.

The sudden change of person caught Tobirama Senju off guard, and he almost bit his tongue.

Having tied her somewhat long hair into a black-and-white short ponytail, Itama Senju hugged a somewhat worn-out Isobu doll,

let out a cute yawn, and with a bit of dazed innocence, she rubbed her eyes and asked in surprise,

"Ha~ Second Brother? Why are you here?"

"Cough, cough, cough... Itama, that guy didn't bully you, did he?"

The flush on his face had already cooled; Tobirama Senju looked up and down at the girl's neat attire, and after his heart eased, a slight smile hung on the corner of his mouth as he asked softly,

"Hmph~ Second Brother, what are you talking about!"

Hearing this, a few red clouds rose on the girl's fair face, and she gave Tobirama Senju a reproachful glare, but her small hands nervously squeezed into a ball, torturing the Isobu doll in her arms until it deformed.

"It's good that you're fine. I came today with Big Brother's order. The village has an important mission to entrust to Uchiha Gin. It is of great importance and must be explained in person."

Seeing that his sister hadn't been wronged, Tobirama Senju's impression of Uchiha Gin improved a little more; he nodded and revealed the purpose of his visit to Itama Senju.

"Uh... what mission? Is it dangerous?"

Hearing his second brother's words, Itama Senju, who had been secretly happy just a moment ago, frowned and hurriedly asked,

if there was danger, she would go find her big brother and push this matter away.

"This mission is about Tailed Beasts. The content is a bit complicated and can't be explained in a short while. Let me in first."

Since Itama Senju wanted to know, he, as her brother, would certainly satisfy her, but the content of the mission regarding managing Tailed Beasts was too complex; Tobirama Senju only mentioned it briefly and then asked his sister to open the door and let him in.

"Tailed Beasts? Turtle! Please come in~"

Itama Senju, who had been a bit worried, saw her eyes light up the moment she heard the mission was related to Tailed Beasts; she hurriedly pulled the door open and invited Tobirama Senju in.

Not expecting Itama Senju's attitude to change so quickly, Tobirama Senju, feeling a bit puzzled, followed the girl into Uchiha Gin's big mansion.

"Hmph, so luxurious; this curly-haired guy is really rich~"

Although it wasn't his first time visiting Uchiha Gin's home, Tobirama Senju was shocked every time he came; looking at the luxurious crystal chandelier hanging overhead, he couldn't help but say with a bit of jealousy,

"Second Brother, you sit first, I'll go make you a cup of tea."

Watching Tobirama Senju looking around, Itama Senju pointed to the leather sofa in the living room and said,

"Can I look around?"

Faintly sensing a familiar aura in this big mansion, Tobirama Senju's eyes shifted slightly, a look of curiosity on his face as he asked his sister,

"This..."

Subconsciously glancing upstairs, the girl turned her head with some difficulty, hesitating in her words,

"Inconvenient?"

Raising an eyebrow, Tobirama Senju's curiosity grew even stronger; this Uchiha Gin definitely hid some earth-shattering secret.

Thinking of that old woman whose personality was sometimes good and sometimes bad, Itama Senju felt a headache,

"Yeah, in this house, besides me and that curly-haired baboon, there is another person. That guy is a bit dangerous, Second Brother, you'd better sit obediently and don't run around."

Regarding a stranger like Tobirama Senju, Uchiha Hikari might do something extreme; weighing the options, she chose to warn her second brother.

"There's someone else?"

Hearing this, Tobirama Senju's first feeling was displeasure; his own sister had lowered her status so much to throw herself at him, and that curly-haired guy actually dared to keep a mistress!

No, he must expose Uchiha Gin's true face as a scumbag and let his sister wake up.

"Yeah, it's his childhood sweetheart..."

For some reason, Itama Senju, who always felt she was a head shorter than Uchiha Hikari, felt an increasingly uncomfortable sensation in her heart whenever she thought of that mocking gaze, and her voice became much more dejected,

"Sigh~ Alright, you have to work hard~"

Thinking the other party was the third party, only to find out his sister was the one who barged in halfway, Tobirama Senju could only sheepishly lower his finger and offer encouragement in an inexplicable tone,

"Shut up!"

Feeling teased, Itama Senju stomped her feet in shame and anger, pouting coquettishly,

however, the girl's uncontrollable monster strength made the entire mansion tremble slightly,

the huge commotion caused Uchiha Gin, who had just fallen into a deep sleep, to have veins pop out on his forehead,

"You really won't let people sleep, right?"

Awakened, Uchiha Gin's lifeless eyes radiated a chilling coldness; he gritted his teeth and propped himself up, vowing to make the guy who disturbed his sweet dream pay the price.

"Tobirama Senju! How did you sneak in? Security team, hurry and notify the security team, someone is trespassing!"

Dragging his exhausted body, Uchiha Gin leaned over the second floor looking down; when he saw the white-hair he least wanted to see, anger rose from his heart, and looking at Tobirama Senju, who was chatting happily with Itama Senju, he shouted loudly,

"Stop yelling, your place is so remote that even dogs don't come here."

Tobirama Senju wasn't afraid at all; he looked up, rolled his eyes provocatively at the angry Uchiha Gin, and then mocked,

"Then are you a dog?"

Calming down, Uchiha Gin glanced obscurely at the somewhat flustered Itama Senju, worried that the girl would be recognized by Tobirama Senju, and then steered the conversation away,

"You don't visit without a reason; you guy, what exactly is the matter?"

Scratching his head, Uchiha Gin, feeling helpless, gave Itama Senju a look,

the girl understood in a second, immediately abandoned her second brother, and walked into the kitchen with happy steps.

"..."

Seeing the damn tacit understanding between the two, Tobirama Senju felt empty inside,

Big Brother Hashirama Senju was obsessed with Madara Uchiha.

Sister Itama Senju was trained into his shape by Uchiha Gin.

Tobirama Senju felt bitter; who on earth did their family offend to be played in the palms of mere Uchihas?

"There is a mission, a mission that only you can complete."

Taking a deep breath, Tobirama Senju cleared his mind, his eyes filled with seriousness as he informed Uchiha Gin, who was distracted upstairs,

A mission? Only me?

Uchiha Gin was completely confused; he had always strived to build a "salted fish" persona and did not want to attract too much attention,

and he was extremely cautious in his private actions, never leaving any flaws.

What exactly happened to expose him? Even his cousins were kept in the dark,

and in the entire Uchiha clan, there were no more than three people who had a certain understanding of his strength.

His uncle, Hikari, and Jiri.

These three would definitely not betray him, so who was it that exposed the secret of his strength to Hashirama Senju, to the point that the other party assigned him an exclusive mission?

"A mission? With my level of strength, there shouldn't be any need to assign me an exclusive mission, right?"

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Uchiha Gin frowned, looked at Tobirama Senju, whose expression did not seem fake, and asked aloud.

"It has nothing to do with strength; this mission requires your full cooperation to be completed successfully."

With undisguised disdain on his face, Tobirama Senju crossed his arms, not giving Uchiha Gin any face at all.

Hey~ so it was just a false alarm.

Uchiha Gin, feeling relieved in his heart, saw his expression return to his usual slacker self. Looking at Tobirama Senju downstairs, he picked his nose and said with a punchable expression,

"Since it's a mission that only this great master can complete, you guy, why don't you fix your attitude and serve me some tea first~"

Just as he was speaking, Ban-chan Senju walked out right on cue, carrying fragrant tea, and said to Tobirama Senju with a face full of smiles,

"Lord Tobirama, please have some tea~"

"……"

A flash of blue light, the Flying Thunder God Jutsu makes its entrance!

"Actually, there's no need for our relationship to be this stiff, is there?"

Feeling a chill at his collar, Uchiha Gin immediately put on a serious expression, looked straight ahead at the now-vanished Tobirama Senju downstairs, and asked for a truce in a negotiating tone,

"Hmph! You curly-hair, you really are easy to read~"

Withdrawing the blade from his hand, Tobirama Senju appeared behind Uchiha Gin with an "as I expected" expression.

Seeing the worried look of his younger sister downstairs, he magnanimously patted Uchiha Gin on the shoulder and said,

"Can we talk properly now?"

Thinking he had the upper hand, Tobirama Senju subconsciously relaxed his vigilance, and a rare look of mockery appeared on his face.

Just as he was contemplating how to mock Uchiha Gin, Tobirama Senju suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder with quite a bit of force, which made him frown deeply and grumble with some displeasure in his heart,

"Don't pat me, I'm in the middle of acting cool!"

Pat, pat~

"Are you annoying? Can't you understand human speech?"

Feeling offended by this impolite behavior, Tobirama Senju drew his blade again, preparing to properly educate the person who was patting him.

"White-hair, if I were you, I would choose humility."

Facing Tobirama Senju, Uchiha Gin had a hint of pity in his eyes. Looking at the extremely arrogant white-hair, the last shred of humanity in his heart prompted him to offer a warning,

"Ha? Although I, Tobirama Senju, have read extensively since childhood, the word 'humility' is the only thing I have never learned."

Tobirama Senju wore an expression of looking at an idiot and did not take Uchiha Gin's warning to heart; on the contrary, his attitude was even more arrogant than before.

"Sigh~"

It is hard to persuade a ghost bent on death with kind words. Since Tobirama Senju insisted on walking down this path to the end, Uchiha Gin had no choice but to respect his wishes and chose to stand by and watch.

"Inexplicable."

Ignoring Uchiha Gin's strange words and actions, Tobirama Senju felt the hand resting on his shoulder getting heavier and heavier.

Feeling displeased, he slowly turned his head, preparing to give the person behind him a death glare.

However, the moment Tobirama Senju turned his head, the arrogant expression on his face froze instantly.

His gaze shifted from its initial disdain to something erratic, and fine cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

The curses stuck in his throat could not be spat out no matter what; instead, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, retracting those beautiful Konoha words back into his belly.

"Chirping and chattering here early in the morning, are you looking to die?"

Behind Tobirama Senju, a black-haired girl had appeared at some point. She tilted her head, revealing a sickly smile.

Her scarlet eyes were full of madness, her dark red lips slightly parted, and her ethereal voice spoke words that made one's hair stand on end.

A pair of cherry-red hands reached out from behind her, one of which pointed vaguely—it was the culprit who had just patted Tobirama Senju's shoulder.

"Are you Uchiha Hikari?"

Locked in by the girl's cold aura, Tobirama Senju was drenched in sweat. But as a man who understood the Uchiha better than the Uchiha themselves, the moment he saw the girl, he shifted his gaze elsewhere. Feeling the other party's aura growing colder, he gritted his teeth and said,

"Uchiha Hikari?"

Unexpectedly, the noisy Tobirama Senju before her did not use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to slip away immediately. The girl, quite surprised, raised her slender eyebrows.

There was only bone-chilling coldness in her scarlet eyes. She spoke slowly to the white-hair who had guessed wrong, and that cherry-red hand fell in response,

"Wrong answer, out."

As a miserable corporate slave, I was originally happy to get off work today, planning to finish eating and write to enrich my life.

Who would have thought that a phone call from my boss would cast me into the abyss.

When I first received the call, I thought the boss was asking me to eat, and I even feigned a refusal; after all, writing was more important.

However, when the boss sent me a location in a suburban village in an irresistible tone, I felt that this matter was not simple.

Could it be that some gray industry had relocated? Or was there some other hidden story?

Sure enough, when I drove for an hour to get there, the whole place was full of old men vomiting until they were dizzy.

As a bottom-tier corporate slave, my heart went cold on the spot. What happened to the promised gray industry? I immediately cried out that I had been scammed~

Thus, without the slightest reversal, I was transferred on the spot to become a non-drinking drinking companion, single-handedly supporting the gray industry until the very last boss was drunk under the table.

Under the charming moonlight, I drove, wandering on the country roads, in the slightly tipsy car, carrying a pile of stinking old men, miserably sending them home one by one.

I don't mean to shift the blame; the fault is that I didn't have a backlog of chapters, and I will pay attention to it in the future.

It's time to learn how to slack off and write during work hours!

In summary, I kowtow to all the readers once again.
