349. Chapter 343: Three Elements of Uchiha Gin's Characteristics

Konoha Year 13.

Early morning.

"I'm going to work."

"Wait! Take the lunch bento."

Uchiha Gin, who was about to go out to work, stopped his steps, scratched his head, and turned to look at the chibi Senju Itama, who was holding the bento box and becoming more and more like a wife. After thinking about it, he reached out and took it.

"What's for lunch?"

Senju Itama, hearing this question, rolled her eyes. If she wasn't worried that this curly-haired guy wouldn't eat well at work at noon, she wouldn't have gotten up before dawn to cook. Wouldn't it be better to sleep until she woke up naturally like that stinky woman Uchiha Hikari?

"Sweet and sour fish."

Uchiha Gin, having received a satisfactory answer, nodded and then pushed the door out. At the same time, the girl's soft, glutinous voice came to his ears.

"Come back early after work."

"Got it~"

After Uchiha Gin left, Senju Itama, wearing a small apron, stretched, her fair little face full of motivation.

"Hoo~ Time to start working!"

After saying that, she turned around and began to tidy up the clothes left on the sofa, preparing to wash them. Even the strawberry panties that exuded an unknown smell were held in her hands without any disgust. Everything was so natural.

"Today is another peaceful day~"

Carrying the bento steadily, Uchiha Gin walked on the streets of Konoha with a gait that didn't recognize his own family. The once solid dirt road had long been replaced by a brand-new cement road, adding a bit of modern color to the street.

Although it was early winter, the shops on both sides of the street had opened for business early. The office workers were all full of energy, ready to dedicate their youth to Konoha at any time.

Not far away, the Konoha Urban Management Brigade, wearing dark blue uniforms, had also entered a working state early, starting to patrol the streets. Uchiha Gin recognized the young man in the lead; it was Little Tuan's cheap second uncle. Looking at his full mental state, he must be very passionate about this job.

"Should I find a few prison-bottoms to have a drink tonight and have some fun?"

Uchiha Gin sighed at the hard-won comfortable time, and by the way, thought about who to find to have fun with tonight.

"Gin-san! No rest today?"

Just then, a voice interrupted Uchiha Gin's thoughts. He turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man with blond hair poking his head out of a shop, a lazy smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"Rest? There's no such thing as rest in our line of work. I also want to give myself a vacation, but the conditions don't allow it."

Uchiha Gin shook his head upon hearing this. The number of Heart of Steel treasure chests refreshed daily and wouldn't accumulate to the next day.

"Have you had breakfast?"

The blond middle-aged man smiled, pointed to the steaming pancake in his hand, and extended an invitation to Uchiha Gin.

"What sauce did you spread?"

"Sweet bean sauce."

"Give me one!"

Uchiha Gin, who accepted the feeding, smiled and said goodbye to the blond middle-aged man. When he was about to leave, he seemed to remember something, turned his head, and asked,

"Are you used to living here after moving over?"

"Konoha is quite good, it's just that seafood isn't as cheap as in the Land of Waves."

The blond middle-aged man with a smile in the corners of his eyes gave the answer quickly. Having worked hard for Konoha's construction for many years, he had only recently moved his family to the Land of Fire, which could be considered a second-generation immigrant.

Relying on the money he saved from working in construction for many years, he bought several shops at an internal price and had lived a leisurely life as a landlord ever since.

"That's good, see you later~"

There was not much time left before work, and Uchiha Gin, who didn't want to fail to clock in, waved goodbye to the blond middle-aged man from the Land of Waves and continued to move toward his workplace.

"Gin-san~ Good morning!"

"Gin-san, give me a fresh cucumber!"

"Gin-san, freshly steamed big buns, have a taste!"

Along the way, many merchants who were familiar with Uchiha Gin poked their heads out one after another, stuffing the products in their shops into his arms.

"Ouch, how can I be embarrassed to take this~"

"Uh... this one is unnecessary!"

Holding the snacks fed by kind people, Uchiha Gin refused the thong handed over by the lingerie shop owner with great emotion.

He was afraid they would misunderstand.

"Everyone is really getting more and more enthusiastic~"

Uchiha Gin gnawed on a small cucumber, giving the residents of Konoha a very high evaluation. At the same time, a building exuding a gloomy and terrifying aura appeared before his eyes.

【Konoha Prison】

"Beep! Clocked in for 2920 days~"

Accompanied by the pleasant clock-in sound, Uchiha Gin nodded with satisfaction, successfully maintaining his super-long clock-in record. If there were a sign-in system, it would be even better, but unfortunately, unfortunately~

"There must be a place for me among this year's model workers!"

Was it a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality that actually made the always lazy Uchiha Gin fall in love with work?

"Gin-sama, isn't it a shadow clone today?"

The guard at the door looked at Uchiha Gin, who was full of self-satisfaction, and spoke in a killjoy manner, revealing the ugly behavior of someone who usually enslaved shadow clones.

"How did you kid see that?"

Uchiha Gin looked at the guard with some surprise. His clone technique could be said to be flawless, and even that white-haired guy Senju Tobirama couldn't see any clues. He didn't expect to fall into the hands of an ordinary gatekeeper today. Could it be that the other party was also a Konoha sweeping monk like him?

"Your shadow clone wouldn't carry this."

The guard pointed to the bento box in Uchiha Gin's hand.

"You scared me."

It turned out that the love bento prepared by Senju Itama exposed his true identity. Uchiha Gin shook his head with some regret and handed the cucumber he had just obtained to this attentive guard.

"Have it."

"Uh... thank you."

Speechlessly pinching the small cucumber in his hand, the guard raised his head to look at Uchiha Gin's departing back, but a bit of doubt arose in his heart.

How come Gin-sama hasn't aged yet?

With the development of technology, the torches on the walls of the prison corridor had long been replaced by light bulbs. However, to cater to the gloomy atmosphere of the prison, the bright lights were deliberately adjusted to dim, faint light.

The cells on both sides also had earth-shaking changes. They were no longer the kind of broken, large dormitories filled with straw, but clean and tidy single rooms, making many habitual thieves linger and forget to return.

"Do the important business first~"

After arriving at his post, Uchiha Gin put Senju Itama's love bento in the office and then strolled all the way to the detention point for serious criminals.

"Gin-sama, morning!"

The jailer on duty saw Uchiha Gin and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"As usual today, don't come in even if you hear any noise."

The jailer on duty nodded, tactfully didn't ask more, and directly opened the door leading to the serious criminal area.

"Let me think..."

Walking alone in the cold corridor, the cell doors on both sides were pasted with sealing charms, exuding dim light. Uchiha Gin touched his chin, pondering who he should find to act a scene today.

"Curly-haired guy over there, stop right there for this master!"

Just as Uchiha Gin was racking his brains, someone sent themselves to his door just like that.

"It's here, it's here~"

Hearing the roar, Uchiha Gin's eyes lit up, and then he walked over with a smile.

He saw a black-skinned young man standing in the cell, with light yellow long hair draped behind his head, his expression very arrogant, his hands crossed over his chest, his face full of fat like a melon seller selling raw melons, his strong muscles knotted, and his whole body exuding a violent aura.

"Call your manager here!"

At first glance, he was an excellent farm tool specialty of the Land of Lightning. Uchiha Gin didn't care about his impolite tone, but instead looked at this black prison-big guy in front of him with great interest. He was very curious, clearly it was a peaceful period now, how did this foreigner get into the prison?

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a handsome guy?"

Stared at by Uchiha Gin with the eyes of looking at a commodity for a long time, the black prison-big guy said impatiently.

He had only arrived in Konoha yesterday, but he just beat up a few petty thieves who wanted to steal his wallet on the street, and then he was pressed down by a group of red-eyed patients wearing dark blue uniforms and big-brimmed hats, and was confusedly locked into the prison.

"Prison-bottom is quite unfamiliar, new here, right?"

"Blah blah blah! Hurry up and call your manager here, I want to go out!"

"I'm just a small jailer, I don't have such great authority~"

Facing the furious black prison-big guy, Uchiha Gin spread his hands, showing a regretful expression, but combined with his lazy dead-fish eyes, it looked like mockery no matter how you looked at it.

"Damn it!"

Uchiha Gin's naturally punchable appearance made the young man in the cell itch with hatred. In a fit of rage, his whole body was instantly covered with blue electric arcs.

【Lightning Release Chakra Mode】

Seeing this scene, a flash of surprise flashed in Uchiha Gin's eyes. He was a bit familiar with this move. An ordinary black prison-big guy absolutely couldn't learn it. The guy in front of him definitely had a great background.

"Boom!"

The next moment, a large hand carrying thunder pierced through the charm on the cell door, dismantled the sturdy door, and the strong black prison-big guy walked out with an unkind face, his gaze locked on Uchiha Gin, who had a strange face.

"Do you know you're committing a crime?"

You're not poking the cell door, you kid are poking the spine of that white-haired guy Senju Tobirama.

Escaping from prison is a serious crime. Even if foreigners have diplomatic immunity, they cannot disregard Konoha's laws like this.

"I don't care about so much, I am the Raikage's student. How dare you Konoha treat me like this, without even listening to an explanation, and lock me in."

The young black prison-big guy was actually very restrained. When he was caught yesterday, he was very cooperative and didn't resist much. But after a night, not only did no one pay attention to him, but a very punchable curly-haired jailer came.

His little violent temper suddenly came up. In the village, he was also a person under a few people and above ten thousand people. Where had he ever suffered this kind of grievance?

"I express deep sympathy for your encounter, but remember to settle the repair costs for this door when you get out of prison~"

Facing the accusation of the young black prison-big guy, Uchiha Gin expressed sympathy, but one thing is one thing. Even if you are the Raikage's apprentice, you have to pay the repair costs for the cell door.

"Hoo... sorry Master, I'm going to break the rules!"

Influenced by Uchiha Gin's self-contained mocking aura, the young black prison-big guy raised his sand-pot-sized fist, a struggle in his eyes, but the fist wind was very sharp.

【Detected that the host is in a battle, the Heart of Steel treasure chest begins to accumulate...】

At the same time, the familiar BGM sounded in Uchiha Gin's mind. Isn't this just what you want~

"Look, that new greenhorn actually dares to provoke Uchiha Gin."

The sound of the black prison-big guy violently dismantling the door also attracted the attention of cellmates in other cells. The old people who had been in the cell for a long time looked at the young black prison-big guy who was confronting Uchiha Gin, their faces without any worry, but full of mockery.

"Rumble~"

The young black prison-big guy's fist carried faint thunder. Uchiha Gin's fluffy curly hair was blown left and right by the fist wind, but the expression on his face didn't change, leaving the young man who threw the punch very confused.

Can't even dodge my slowest punch, is this guy really a ninja?

"Oh?"

Uchiha Gin, who could feel that the young man's punch was just for show, had doubts in his heart, but the process still had to be followed, so he raised his fists and "dangerously" took this punch.

"Boom!"

Hearing a loud bang, Uchiha Gin, who was "resisting stubbornly," was instantly sent flying, hitting the wall heavily. After sliding to the ground, he knelt on one knee, a trace of scarlet oozing from the corner of his mouth, his eyes carrying an unyielding look, staring dead at the young black prison-big guy who maintained the punching posture.

"Cough cough cough... as expected of the future star of the Cloud Hidden Village, the power of this punch is not inferior to the First Raikage..."

Uchiha Gin held his chest, coughed weakly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a pale face, his tone carrying an unyielding but this time yielded tone.

"Ah?"

The young black prison-big guy looked at his fist blankly. He clearly didn't use any force, just wanted to scare this punchable jailer. Who would have thought that the curly-haired guy would fly so far?

I haven't used any force yet, why did he fall down?

Could it be that I have realized the dark energy that even the senior brother hasn't penetrated?

"Are you okay?"

The somewhat at-a-loss young black prison-big guy hurriedly ran over, his face full of fat carrying a look of worry, wanting to see if Uchiha Gin's injuries were serious.

He didn't come to Konoha to cause trouble, but was burdened with the mission given by his senior brother. If he messed up the mission, it was one thing whether he could go back, but his two violent senior brothers would definitely blow his dog head off.

"Cough cough cough... I, Uchiha Gin, am willing to call you the strongest in taijutsu~"

Ignoring the young black prison-big guy's sudden concern, Uchiha Gin finished the lines of the process on his own.

The young man who was on his way suddenly stopped his steps after hearing the words Uchiha Gin. The big face that was just worried was now twisted strangely, and a pair of bull eyes stared round.

"You are Uchiha Gin?"

"Huh?"

I think I haven't provoked you black prison-big guys all these years, right?

【Ding! Host failed, obtained Heart Energy*10】

The familiar prompt sound rang out just right. Uchiha Gin simply stopped pretending, stood up like nothing happened, patted the dust on his body, licked the scarlet at the corner of his mouth, swallowed the tomato sauce into his stomach, and then raised his head, asking suspiciously.

"I don't seem to know you, Prison-bottom?"

"Wait!"

The young black prison-big guy with a furrowed brow immediately started rummaging through his pockets, and finally found a crumpled note, carefully reading the description on it.

"Curly hair OK, dead-fish eyes OK, punchable... also OK! It's you!"

After a simple confirmation, the black prison-big guy who reached a conclusion threw the note in his hand and performed a fierce tiger landing style toward Uchiha Gin, who was full of confusion. The hard cement floor was smashed into a visible big pit.

"Gomen nasai!" (End of chapter)
