282. Chapter 280: There Is No Ancestor More Loving Than Kaguya
"Swish~ Swish~"
After finishing the proposal in his hands, Uchiha Gin slowly raised his head, looking with surprise at the Uchiha clansman before him, who was dressed in such magnificent attire that he looked more like a noble than a ninja, and asked,
"Did you write this plan?"
The clansman, trembling beneath the platform, shuddered upon hearing this, then raised his head with a look of panic.
"In reply to Lord Gin, it was this humble one who wrote it."
"You fellow, although your strength is average, your talent in this area is not bad~"
With a sweeping glance, the clansman's captain-level strength was laid bare in Uchiha Gin's eyes; he casually handed the proposal to Uchiha Tajima beside him.
"Old Uncle, you've really struck gold; this kid is a natural at making money."
"Plan for Establishing a Shipping Company in the Land of Waves"
Looking at the cover of the proposal, Uchiha Tajima was somewhat confused.
"Isn't this just a front to swindle money from that brat Tobirama Senju?"
"No, this plan is feasible, and it can make a lot of money."
The current ninja world will enter a state of relative peace for a long time to come; we can fully take advantage of this golden opportunity while everything is waiting to be rebuilt to swallow the cake of maritime transport all by ourselves. This is a great business that brings in gold every day.
"But the Land of Water won't easily give up the maritime routes, will they?"
Old Uncle had also been immersed in the politics of great nations for many years and immediately spotted the primary problem. Compared to the Land of Waves, the Land of Water had a much larger maritime presence, and even though they had been heavily damaged by the Land of Whirlpools before, they still occupied a large area of the northern seas.
"The Land of Water? They can barely protect themselves right now; they can't hold onto those sea areas."
After experiencing the war with the Land of Earth, the Land of Water not only failed to gain any benefits but also suffered heavy losses, not to mention the astronomical price paid for purchasing Tailed Beasts. For a long time to come, even the ninja dogs of the Hidden Mist Village would have to work 007 shifts; they simply couldn't spare anyone to garrison such a vast expanse of sea.
"Good, as long as you think it's feasible, then go ahead and do it."
Uchiha Tajima had absolute trust in this magical nephew of his and immediately gave his approval.
"Here, I'll leave this matter to you. The clansmen's dividends for the second half of the year will all depend on you, so don't let us down~"
Uchiha Gin didn't dawdle, handing the proposal back to the clansman and giving him full responsibility.
"Thank you, Clan Head! Thank you, Lord Gin!"
Taking the proposal with excitement, the clansman's eyes were filled with joy. In fact, this proposal wasn't something he had rushed to finish; he had been meticulously polishing it for a long time, but he had never had the chance to present it. Fortunately, Uchiha Gin had a discerning eye, and he would certainly repay this kindness of a talent scout.
"Um... Lord Gin, what about this money?"
Having calmed down, the clansman looked at the scroll in his hand and suddenly felt it was a hot potato. If the shipping company were really established, Tobirama Senju would definitely be able to get a share of the profits, and letting the Senju make money was even more painful to him than losing it himself.
"Keep it; it'll serve as the startup capital."
Free angel investment—might as well use it.
"But I once agreed on dividend terms with that guy Tobirama Senju."
The clansman said with some difficulty, his heart full of regret; if only he had pushed the dividend date further back.
Uchiha Gin rolled his eyes and said,
"No matter. Use the first dividend to stabilize him. As for the next one... just tell him the company has just been established and still needs capital for turnover, and you'll share the profits with him after it becomes profitable."
"Will that work?"
The clansman was somewhat doubtful; all Uchiha knew that Tobirama Senju was insidious and cunning, not easy to fool.
"No problem. As long as you share the financial reports regularly, paint a big enough picture for him, and send some local specialties during the holidays, that guy definitely won't be suspicious."
Anyway, that white-haired guy won't live long and certainly won't enjoy many dividends, so let's use this money to reward my own hard work~
"By the way, remember to include the Land of Whirlpools in this plan; don't go it alone~"
Remembering his good neighbors, Uchiha Gin specifically instructed.
"Yes!"
The Uchiha clansmen in the Land of Waves naturally knew of their close, friendly relationship with the Uzumaki clan; when it came to making money, they certainly had to bring their brothers along.
And Uchiha Tajima, who was on the side, laughed teasingly upon hearing this.
"Haha~ when are you planning to marry their Daimyo, you brat?"
"Uh... wait until the ninja world is at peace~"
After that clansman left in high spirits, Uchiha Gin and Uchiha Tajima chatted about the recent situation in Konoha.
"You said that brat Madara wants to be Hokage?"
"That's right. For the sake of being Hokage, the eldest cousin has even started paying to work, spending every day by Hashirama Senju's side. I couldn't stop him even if I wanted to~"
Having finally caught a chance to report to the parent, how could Uchiha Gin not file a complaint against the spendthrift Uchiha Madara? That'll teach you to secretly plot against me, kid.
"Sigh~ What about the clan? Has that brat just abandoned it?"
Uchiha Tajima asked with a pained heart, blaming his own soft heart for not having that rebellious son married off earlier, which had led to such a disgraceful situation now.
"Fortunately, the younger cousin is capable and has managed the clan in an orderly fashion; it can be considered a blessing for the Uchiha."
"Izuna is also past the age for marriage; is he still single?"
Could it be that I, Uchiha Tajima, will have no descendants?
"As for the younger cousin... I heard recently that he seems to be interested in a girl from an Uchiha commoner family."
After pondering a little, Uchiha Gin recalled the rumors he had heard recently. It was whispered in the streets that Uchiha Izuna, relying on the great power in his hands, wanted to forcibly take the only daughter of an Uchiha fruit shop owner, and all the neighbors despised him for it.
After all, the fruit shop owner's daughter was only fourteen this year, while the younger cousin was nearly thirty. Who wouldn't spit on that when they heard it~
"Commoner? It doesn't matter, as long as she's a woman. I'll leave this matter to you to handle; I want to hold a grandson by next year!"
The elder brother is like a father. Uchiha Tajima, having retired behind the scenes, was not in a position to come forward, so the matter of Uchiha Izuna's happiness for the rest of his life fell upon Uchiha Gin.
Afterwards, the two continued to chat about many things regarding Konoha until the sun sank below the horizon, and Uchiha Gin stopped the small talk.
"I should go; otherwise, the people at home will get suspicious."
Looking up at the slowly rising moon, which was so bright and white it made one stop, Uchiha Gin stood up to bid farewell to his Old Uncle.
"Gin, come home often."
"You got it, Old Uncle~"
Uchiha Gin nodded, then activated the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, intending to leave the Land of Waves and return to Konoha.
With a flash of golden light, Uchiha Gin's figure disappeared from where he stood.
However, in Konoha at this moment, the figure of a certain curly-haired man did not appear.
The Flying Thunder God Jutsu, which Uchiha Gin usually used with perfect success, had rarely gone wrong.
Just as he performed the Flying Thunder God Jutsu and vanished, a black hole suddenly appeared in the tunnel composed of space-time energy. Accompanied by an astonishing suction force, Uchiha Gin was caught off guard and plunged headfirst into it.
The feeling of being dragged by an inexplicable, immense force was terrible. The violent jolting almost shook Uchiha Gin's bile out, but fortunately, this experience lasted only for a very short time.
"Thump~"
Accompanied by the sound of landing, Uchiha Gin crawled up from the soft ground, holding his slightly dizzy head, and slowly opened his eyes. He wanted to see which blind fellow dared to plot against him.
"I'm—"
"Hmph~ I told you I could drag him over."
However, the cold female voice that reached his ears froze Uchiha Gin, who was about to lash out. He raised his head to look at the two familiar figures before him, and he subconsciously swallowed.
"Gulp~"
The sound was clearly audible in the silent space.
Uchiha Gin then realized that he was actually in the Otsutsuki palace on the moon. Looking at the familiar decorations around him, he confirmed it was the stargazing platform of Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji.
"Hi~ Long time no see."
Being stared at tightly by two pairs of pure, flawless eyes, Uchiha Gin, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, had to bite the bullet and greet them.
"Otsutsuki Biluo, Otsutsuki Yueji, it's been a few days; I've missed you so much~"
"Gin~"
Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Biluo flew over and wrapped her arms around Uchiha Gin's neck. Her delicate body, filled with a mature and intoxicating scent, pressed tightly against him. Her beautiful, yet holy face was full of resentment.
"You never come to see me!"
A girl in love is forever eighteen. Even though Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Biluo's age was an ineffable number, it didn't hinder her current display of girlishness as she hung on Uchiha Gin, turning into a happy burden.
"I've been a bit busy lately; I was just planning to come see you in a few days."
Uchiha Gin scratched his face helplessly, feeling the bouncy, ample breasts against his chest. His expression was very complex, but his eyes couldn't help but drift downward uncontrollably.
These white ones are really milky~
"What about me?"
Just as Uchiha Gin and Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Biluo were being affectionate, the expression of Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, who had been left aside for half a day, grew increasingly sour. Does this hateful curly-haired thief only have eyes for those breasts?
"Did you pull me here?"
Uchiha Gin, interrupted, wasn't annoyed. After soothing Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Biluo in his arms and letting her down, he looked at the cold-faced Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji before him and asked with a frown.
But Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji didn't answer, as if she were sulking. Because her beautiful eyes were entirely pure white, Uchiha Gin wasn't sure if she was taking the opportunity to roll her eyes at him.
"It was Sister Otsutsuki Yueji who pulled you over; I didn't expect it to actually succeed."
Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Biluo, seeing this, smiled and explained.
"Tsk! When did you get this ability?"
To be able to forcibly pull him out of a space-time tunnel—did this Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji also awaken a system and prepare to cheat her way to the top?
"Tenseigan."
Her cold gaze fell on Uchiha Gin's face. Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji intentionally or unintentionally puffed out her chest and answered expressionlessly, her voice holy and ethereal.
Uchiha Gin immediately realized with a start; so it was the ability of the Tenseigan. That made sense; it was, after all, the legendary eye of the Sage, so having some space-time ability wasn't over-the-top.
"Why did you drag me up here?"
After understanding why he had appeared on the moon, Uchiha Gin asked the culprit of this incident with some confusion. The day he had agreed upon with Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Biluo hadn't arrived yet, had it?
"It's Sister Otsutsuki Biluo."
Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji replied with a calm expression.
"Huh? Isn't this something you decided on your own?"
Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Biluo, who was currently snuggling with Uchiha Gin, was suddenly stunned upon hearing this. She then looked at the iceberg-like Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, her eyes filled with question marks.
"Oh?"
Uchiha Gin's gaze sharpened. Otsutsuki Biluo certainly wouldn't lie, so there could only be one culprit!
"Hmph~ come and have a fight!"
Since she had been exposed, Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji no longer bothered to hide it. Her purpose in dragging Uchiha Gin up this time was precisely to have a contest with him.
"No, why fight for no reason? Why don't we all sit down and have some tea first~"
Fighting was one of the two things Uchiha Gin hated most in his life, especially since there was no enmity or grudge between them; drawing blades and brandishing weapons at every turn was bad for the relationship.
"I want to prove that we Otsutsuki are the orthodox line of the Byakugan!"
Following Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji's voice, a layer of cyan-green chakra cloak began to emerge over her plump, delicate body. Her snow-white hair fluttered without wind, and her flawless, moon-white eyes slowly transformed into the pupils Uchiha Gin was familiar with.
【Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji - Tenseigan Mode】
"Didn't you and Xiaoguang just finish fighting? Why are you itching for a beating again so soon?"
Looking at the battle-ready Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, Uchiha Gin scratched his curly hair with some helplessness.
"Hmph~ that woman, her ocular jutsu is merely a bit troublesome; in other aspects, she's nothing but a weakling."
Heh, if it weren't for the fact that she happened to awaken the ability to summon the statue of the Second Great-Granduncle, you little girl would have long since been hacked into pieces by Xiaoguang piloting her Gundam.
"Now, I have comprehended all the abilities of the Tenseigan; it is time to decide who is the orthodox Otsutsuki."
Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji did not yield an inch, her eyes, already transformed into Tenseigan, staring fixedly at Uchiha Gin.
In her view, Uchiha Gin, who could also use Tenseigan abilities, was not worthy of bearing the name of Otsutsuki.
"Otsutsuki orthodox? I'm not, don't talk nonsense!"
Upon hearing the words "Otsutsuki orthodox," Uchiha Gin subconsciously shrank his neck. The mixed bloodline within his body was sublimating every moment; he was just waiting for the bloodline concentration to be high enough, and he could probably ascend on the spot, becoming the first pure-blooded alien in the ninja world.
"Long-winded."
Not wanting to waste any more breath on Uchiha Gin, Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji narrowed her eyes, and the aura radiating from her body made everyone pause. She raised her snow-white, delicate hands, and several chakra beads appeared out of thin air.
"Hold on a second!"
Uchiha Gin knew this battle was unavoidable, so he straightened his expression and raised his hand to shout before Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji could make her move.
"Enough talk."
Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji wouldn't indulge him. The chakra beads in her hands began to spin rapidly, and a visible vortex appeared in the girl's palms.
"No, Big Sister, you borrowed the power of the Tenseigan, what am I supposed to use?"
Uchiha Gin, who shouted for a timeout, wasn't trying to stall for time; it was because after he communicated with the Tenseigan on the moon, it replied that he couldn't "log in" to the account, and he could only play after the original owner had finished playing.
Isn't this awkward?
"."
Not expecting things to develop like this, Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, who had already laid down the harsh words, couldn't bring herself to start with a bang and end with a whimper.
Her cold, beautiful face stiffened slightly, her eyes darting around. She didn't answer Uchiha Gin's words, and the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion in her hands subconsciously weakened by a few degrees.
"Possessing the Tenseigan, my victory is inevitable."
After a long while, the clearly embarrassed Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji forced out a familiar-sounding harsh line, the general meaning being to mock Uchiha Gin for being a "little brother" without a Tenseigan.
"That's right, Otsutsuki Yueji-chan is the best~"
Adhering to the principle that one less fight is better than one more, Uchiha Gin took the opportunity to butter up the girl.
"Who allowed you to call me that! You must call me Queen!"
Hearing Uchiha Gin's overly intimate address, Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji trembled with rage, and she ruthlessly smashed the fully charged Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion toward him.
"Gin, watch out!"
Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Biluo, who was beside Uchiha Gin, tensed up. She hadn't expected Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji to be serious; wasn't it agreed that they would build a good relationship with Uchiha Gin and contribute to the great cause of the Otsutsuki clan's reproduction?
Facing the incoming Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, Uchiha Gin didn't choose to dodge, instead showing a helpless expression, "Sigh, we have to fight after all~"
Uchiha Gin slowly opened his slightly squinted dead-fish eyes, his black pupils already stained with scarlet. In one of his eyes, three mysterious tomoe spun rapidly, gradually condensing into a complex and bewitching pattern.
"I don't know how well I've practiced it; it's a good time for a live-combat drill."
Accompanied by a bone-chilling cold, Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji felt a cold and obscure ocular power overflowing from the Uchiha Gin before her. The aura of this ocular power was far more profound than that of the black-haired girl who had been defeated by her earlier.
So this curly-haired thief wasn't just a guy relying solely on the power of the Tenseigan to do as he pleased.
Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji was secretly shocked. Although she was a bit angry after hearing Uchiha Gin's words, she hadn't used the full power of the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion; she had only wanted to scare this curly-haired guy.
"Kaguya Wangliang."
Seeing that the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was about to give him a new hairstyle, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow. The bewitching pattern in his single eye turned, and the black shadow in front of him rippled as a black figure slowly rose from it.
"This is?"
Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Biluo, who was worried on the side, was about to perform the Butterfly Transformation Jutsu, but was startled by the black figure that suddenly appeared in front of Uchiha Gin.
On the open ground in front of Uchiha Gin, a dark-skinned girl slowly rose. She was dressed in a tight, pure-white kimono, her waist-length hair and cold, indifferent eyes were both grayish-white. Her stunning beauty was a blend of nobility, charm, and holiness, with a hint of playfulness between her brows.
"Who is she?"
Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji was equally puzzled. Even if she racked her brains, she couldn't figure out how Uchiha Gin had performed such a transformation.
"Hehe~ dumbfounded, right! She is my ocular jutsu creation. All her actions and behaviors are under my control; you could say she is my clone."
Looking with satisfaction at the astonished Otsutsuki duo, Uchiha Gin waved his hand, preparing to let Kaguya Wangliang, who had turned into a dark-skinned beauty, give these bumpkins a taste of Mangekyo shock.
"Kaguya Wangliang, it's time to... eh???"
However, just as Uchiha Gin was feeling smug, he suddenly discovered that the Kaguya Wangliang he had summoned seemed a bit different from usual.
The previous Kaguya Wangliang had always been empty-handed, but the Kaguya Wangliang that appeared this time actually brought her own weapon, and it was a short weapon at that.
"Buzz buzz buzz~"
"What kind of thing are you holding???"
That familiar shape, that high-frequency vibrating sound, made Uchiha Gin throw all his previous smugness to the side. After a brief moment of stagnation, he pointed at the special weapon in Kaguya Wangliang's hand and roared.
"."
Kaguya Wangliang, possessed by the ancestor, consistently upheld the core philosophy of "I am a mute." Facing the aggressive Uchiha Gin, she ignored him entirely, instead dual-wielding the vibrating "weapon," striking a combat pose, and looking expressionlessly at Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji opposite her.
"Ew~ you curly-haired thief, you're actually a pervert."
As a shut-in who had read many books for years, Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji recognized what Kaguya Wangliang was holding at first glance. For the first time, a look of disgust appeared on her cold face, and she subconsciously took a few steps back, trying to distance herself from Uchiha Gin.
"Ara ara~ Gin, what do you want me to say about you~"
As someone who had been through it, Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Biluo, who knew the taste of it well, appeared somewhat teasing. She licked her full lips with seductive eyes, looking at the livid Uchiha Gin, her sticky voice full of temptation.
"I really didn't! It's all a misunderstanding!"
Damn it, if he had known, he wouldn't have said Kaguya Wangliang was his clone. Now it's like yellow mud falling into his pants—even if it's not excrement, it's still excrement.
"No need to explain, Mr. Curly-haired Pervert Thief."
The title suddenly became even stranger.
Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji shook her head. Although she didn't understand, she didn't respect it either. She then signaled Uchiha Gin not to be futile, turning her gaze to the ready-to-go Kaguya Wangliang, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.
From this black woman in front of her, Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji vaguely sensed a familiar aura; it was a palpitation hidden deep within her bloodline.
"Hoo~ Kaguya Wangliang! Hurry up and throw those two things back, who told you to take them!"
Uchiha Gin, trembling with rage, ordered through gritted teeth.
And Kaguya Wangliang, receiving Uchiha Gin's command, actually hesitated for a rare moment, a flash of dissatisfaction hidden on her face, before obediently throwing the two unspeakable "weapons" back into the Shadow Realm.
This ninja tool designed for women was clearly very useful!
Kaguya Wangliang, feeling somewhat indignant in her heart, looked at Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, who was in Tenseigan mode, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.
This descendant is not bad; the Otsutsuki bloodline is very pure, and she even awakened the Tenseigan of that kid Hamura, only a tiny bit worse than that curly-haired brat.
However, the current Kaguya Wangliang was not the once-mighty Kaguya Otsutsuki. Choosing to endure, she skillfully played her role, striking a combat pose toward Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, waiting for Uchiha Gin's command.
"Kaguya Wangliang, let her witness the bond between you and me!"
Without the unspeakable object, Uchiha Gin instantly perked up, waving his hand like a Super Newcomer who had just accepted a Bug Catcher's challenge.
"Don't look down on me!"
Not expecting Uchiha Gin to just send Kaguya Wangliang to fight her, Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, feeling her dignity insulted, gritted her silver teeth and turned the Tenseigan's power to the maximum, the cyan-blue chakra cloak around her body thickening by several degrees.
"Disappeared?"
However, just after Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji adjusted, she was surprised to find that Kaguya Wangliang had disappeared from where she stood. Her heart tightened, and she immediately activated her 360° blind-spot-free vision to search.
On the other side, Kaguya Wangliang, who had long since dived into the Shadow Realm, was currently standing in front of Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji, whose eyes were rolling around, sizing up the excellent descendant before her.
"Soft-hearted," she ultimately gave up the idea of a surprise attack from between Otsutsuki Otsutsuki Yueji's legs, then retracted the high-frequency vibrating rod-shaped object into the weapon vault.
After all, the tolerance of humans and puppets is different; if she studied it too much, something might really go wrong, right?
She, Kaguya Otsutsuki, is the most loving ancestor, after all~(End of chapter)
