375. Chapter 367: The First Knight War, Activate!

Just as little Tsunade was chasing Uchiha Gin to ask what he had gone to do, a purple figure in loungewear appeared behind them.

"Yare yare~ Isn't this Gin-san? What made you think of coming to the shop today?"

With long purple hair draped over her full chest and one hand supporting her face, Uchiha Yongmei's half-closed eyes revealed a look of inexplicable surprise.

"Ah? Yongmei, milk... mmm mmm mmm mmm~"

"Oh my~ Little Tsunade, how can you talk in your sleep in broad daylight?"

Seeing an acquaintance, little Tsunade subconsciously started to greet her, but her mouth was gently covered by Uchiha Yongmei before she could finish. As a flash of scarlet light crossed the woman's eyes, the gentle, spring-like voice that fell into their ears made them feel a chill down their spines.

"Yong... Yongmei-jie..."

Terrified by Uchiha Yongmei's aura, little Tsunade swallowed and chose to lower the seniority level immediately.

"That's more like it~ Do you want to eat a cone? Big sister will treat you~"

Uchiha Yongmei released the soft hand covering little Tsunade's mouth and smiled as she touched the girl's slightly trembling head.

"No... no need. Grandma said I can only eat one a day."

Little Tsunade, who had already eaten a cone, shook her head like a rattle and scurried behind Uchiha Gin, patting her own flat chest with lingering fear.

Women with diamond marks on their foreheads are all so terrifying!

"Lady Yongmei, we've already had some. It looks like business has been good lately~"

Uchiha Gin gently patted little Tsunade's head and shook his head at Uchiha Yongmei, whom he hadn't seen in a few days.

"It's all thanks to Gin-san~"

"I only offered a suggestion."

On a dark and windy day, Uchiha Gin and Uchiha Yongmei, the current CEO of the Konoha headquarters of Mixue Bingcheng, were conducting an in-depth and vigorous discussion on the issue of human reproduction.

They say the "sage time" is the moment when the human brain operates at its highest speed. Following the conclusion of their intense discussion, Uchiha Gin had a sudden inspiration and brought up the Mixue Bingcheng project. Uchiha Yongmei, snuggled beside him, naturally had no objections.

So the two of them decided on the spot to renovate the old cold drink shop into its current state. The result was as Uchiha Gin had expected: as soon as Mixue Bingcheng opened, it immediately swept through all of Konoha.

Not only that, branches had spread to every corner of the Ninja World, and a saying was passed around among the people:

【How to judge if a country is wealthy? Just look at how many Mixue Bingcheng branches it has opened.】

"Gin-san, it's almost lunchtime. You haven't eaten yet, right? Why not come to my place? I'll prepare shrimp noodles for you."

Uchiha Yongmei covered her small mouth and smiled like a flower, her eyes like peach blossoms containing spring water, her mouth curving with a charm that made one intoxicated.

"Wouldn't that be inconvenient? Little Zhili..."

"Little Zhili isn't home. She said she went to accompany Little Guang for research~"

Facing the warm invitation, Uchiha Gin, worried about damaging Uchiha Yongmei's reputation, righteously used Uchiha Zhili as an excuse to decline.

As a result, when she said Little Zhili wasn't home, he had no reason to refuse and had to "reluctantly" prepare to agree.

"Then I will respectfully... Ouch!!!"

"You're not allowed to steal a taste!"

Seeing Uchiha Gin's lecherous look as he was about to go home with Uchiha Yongmei, little Tsunade, hiding behind him, remembered the mission she was shouldering. She gritted her teeth, extended her small hand glowing with blue light, and pinched the soft flesh on Uchiha Gin's thigh, giving it a 360-degree twist.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Uchiha Gin, in pain, broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly pushed away little Tsunade, who was puffing out her cheeks and using all her strength, and rubbed the red, swollen wound, his teeth aching.

How does this little girl have so much strength? Even his perfected Sage Body was pinched blue by her.

"Sister Ban is still waiting for us at home!"

Little Tsunade, pushed aside, didn't give up. She gathered her courage, stood in front of Uchiha Gin, and shouted at Uchiha Yongmei, who had an inexplicable smile on her face, her whole body trembling.

"Yare yare, what a headache~"

"Sorry, Lady Yongmei, I can only take you up on that next time."

Having his good time interrupted by little Tsunade, Uchiha Gin could only shake his head helplessly and decline the other party's warm invitation.

Licking her lips with her small tongue, Uchiha Yongmei smiled charmingly upon hearing this.

"It's fine. But next time, it will be my turn to eat~"

"Grandpa Gin, you actually know how to cook? What are shrimp noodles? Are they delicious?"

Little Tsunade, following behind Uchiha Gin, recalled what Uchiha Yongmei had said when they parted, and tilted her little head, asking very curiously.

"Huh?"

Uchiha Gin, who was sipping lemonade, was stunned. His brain, sluggish due to excessive sugar saturation, couldn't shift gears for a moment.

"Can you let me taste it?"

"Pfft!!!"

Hearing little Tsunade's innocent voice, Uchiha Gin couldn't swallow the last mouthful of lemonade and sprayed out a water dragon.

"Oh my! My new clothes!"

Little Tsunade, soaked from head to toe, went completely crazy. These were new clothes her mother had sent from the capital of the Land of Fire; the three letters "Dnf" on the tag exposed their expensive price.

At Uchiha Gin's house, fortunately, Senju Ban's current size wasn't much bigger than little Tsunade's, so the clothes could barely fit, while the dirty clothes were thrown into the washing machine.

"Hmph! I'm ignoring you!"

After changing into new clothes, little Tsunade, pouting her little mouth, swore in her heart that she would never forgive this bad grandfather, Uchiha Gin.

"Sorry, sorry~"

Uchiha Gin, knowing he was in the wrong, scratched his head and, as if performing magic, pulled a heavy gold brick from behind him and handed it over with an apologetic face.

"Doing this again? Even if you give me another hundred, another thousand, I won't forgive you! I'm going to tell Grandpa and Grandma!"

Little Tsunade finally stood her ground for once. She struggled to pull her eyes away from the gold brick, turned her little head, and declared she would report him to the central authorities.

Not expecting little Tsunade to be truly angry this time, it seemed she hadn't just come to play with him today, but more to show off her new clothes. Uchiha Gin had no choice but to reach into his backpack again, preparing to make amends with heavy money.

"Ahem, since you say so..."

"But..."

"But what? Whatever you want, Grandpa Gin will buy it for you~"

Hearing little Tsunade's change in tone, Uchiha Gin paused, his hand grabbing the mountain of gold, and immediately asked.

"As long as you tell me who the strongest Tailed Beast Knight is, I'll forgive you!"

This matter still hasn't been turned over~

Uchiha Gin rubbed his throbbing temples helplessly. He wanted to blurt out a random answer, but little Tsunade's serious expression made it impossible for him to lie to a child.

"Yeah... who is the strongest~"

Narrowing his eyes, Uchiha Gin began to share seriously.

Logically, his cousin should be the strongest Tailed Beast Knight, but this kid hadn't been making progress in recent years; it would be good enough if he didn't regress.

As for the Gin-Jin brothers, their own strength was quite good, and with the addition of the little Nine-Tails card, their strength definitely couldn't be underestimated.

Kakuzu...

Once the bounty is in place, the Five Kage get crushed~

Shamon Laodi had the power of the Dragon Vein, plus the One-Tail's brain was quite smart, and his learning ability wasn't bad. If the man and beast cooperated well, they might be able to flip over a certain fat fox who was just waiting to die.

As for the four knights from the Hidden Rock and Hidden Mist villages, Uchiha Gin hadn't deliberately looked into them, but all four were the best in their respective villages. Before becoming knights, they were all figures who dominated their regions, and their secret techniques and Kekkei Genkai were at their fingertips. After becoming knights, they were definitely like tigers with wings.

"Grandpa Gin, are you going to say something?"

"Little Tsunade, Grandpa can't give you an accurate answer for now, but I promise, you'll know very soon."

Interrupted by little Tsunade's eager voice, Uchiha Gin raised his head, a strange smile flashing across his face. He patted her little head, his tone rarely lacking in perfunctoriness.

"Really? You can't lie to me. I'm not a four-year-old anymore!"

"I love telling the truth~"

"Chicken soup is here!"

Just as the grandfather and granddaughter were communicating, Senju Ban walked over with a steaming pot of chicken soup.

"Let's eat first."

"Yay!"

Tsunade rubbed her empty little stomach. She had consumed all the milk tea she drank just now to use her super strength. Smelling the fragrant chicken soup, she immediately left Uchiha Gin behind and sat at the dining table waiting for the feast to begin.

"Oishii~"

"Eat slowly, there's still plenty~"

Senju Ban looked at little Tsunade, who was wolfing down the food, with eyes full of doting, as if she saw her own shadow in the girl.

"Sister Ban, are Grandpa Gin's shrimp noodles delicious? You must eat them often, right?"

Touching her full belly, little Tsunade's gaze darted between Uchiha Gin and Senju Ban for a long time before she finally asked.

"Pfft! Ahem, ahem... you child, what are you talking about?"

Senju Ban, who had choked, looked at little Tsunade's innocent face and didn't know what to say for a moment. She turned to look at Uchiha Gin, who was covering his face and pretending to be dead.

"Who did you meet today?"

Senju Ban, sensing something was wrong, immediately questioned them.

"Acquaintances, all acquaintances."

Uchiha Gin tried to brush it off, but little Tsunade wouldn't let him have his way.

"We met Grandma Yongmei at Mixue Bingcheng~"

Good grief, she dares to call her "Grandma" now?

"Oh?"

"Don't misunderstand, Lady Yongmei is the boss of Mixue Bingcheng. Isn't it normal to meet her there?"

"That's true..."

Senju Ban nodded thoughtfully.

"Grandma Yongmei said she would give Grandpa Gin shrimp noodles to eat, and Grandpa almost went. Fortunately, I stopped him in time!"

Snap!

"You shrimp-head, what else do you have to say? How can you face Sister Zhili after doing this?"

Senju Ban, who had snapped the chopsticks in her hand, gritted her teeth and questioned him on behalf of her good best friend.

No, what does this have to do with Little Zhili?

"Don't listen to a child's one-sided story. Lady Yongmei and I are partners who have worked together sincerely for many years..."

"Thump!"

"Ah!!!"

"Why did you suddenly step on me?"

Crunch!

A size 29 small foot stepped fiercely onto Uchiha Gin's size 42 instep, producing a bone-cracking sound that made one's teeth ache.

"My foot slipped."

Senju Ban tightened her small face, a trace of chill in her eyes. She said it was an accident, but her small foot, infused with super strength, had no intention of moving away at all.

After the meal.

"I'll send Little Tsunade back. You wash the dishes at home and don't run around."

Senju Ban helped little Tsunade change into clean clothes and turned to arrange for Uchiha Gin, who was lying on the sofa like a corpse.

"Got it, got it~"

Uchiha Gin waved his hand without even lifting his head. Little Tsunade, seeing this, ran to the side of the sofa with her little feet, pat-pat-pat, and said seriously,

"Grandpa Gin, you can't lie to me. Second Grandpa said that people who lie will turn into white wooden people."

"Relax, relax. I'm a famously honest young man. Little Tsunade, you can rest assured~"

Uchiha Gin, lying on the sofa, watched the two leave. A flash of brilliance appeared in his dull, dead-fish eyes, and then he tugged at the corners of his stiff mouth.

"It's indeed a bit too boring, don't you think?"

"Gulp~ gulp~ gulp~"

Just as Uchiha Gin finished speaking, a sound of gulping suddenly came from the dark corner.

"Is it to your taste?"

A pair of black-skinned jade feet stepped out of the darkness. Wangliang, holding half a cup of lemonade, had a look of slight displeasure on her beautiful face. Her two delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she wasn't very satisfied with the triple-sugar lemonade.

"Too sweet."

"Is it? Let me taste~"

With a flick of his finger, he sucked the half cup of lemonade from Wangliang's hand through the air. Uchiha Gin didn't mind, directly biting the straw that was still slightly warm, and finished the remaining half cup in one go.

Wangliang looked at Uchiha Gin, who had snatched her lemonade, with an expressionless face. Her furrowed brows deepened. He had actually snatched something she had drunk so casually, and didn't even wipe it...

This descendant simply doesn't treat her like a person!

"Tsk... it's quite normal. But why does your cup have a hint of hawthorn flavor?"

Smacking his lips, Uchiha Gin, who was almost at the point of eating white sugar with rice, looked down at the empty lemonade cup in his hand, carefully savored the faint hawthorn flavor on his lips, and scratched his head in confusion.

"You said it was boring just now, what did you mean?"

Without waiting for Uchiha Gin to delve into the flavor issue, Wangliang, who usually didn't take the initiative to speak, asked for the first time, her two eyes glancing casually at the light red mark on the straw.

"Don't you think the current knights are all quite unmotivated?"

Hearing Wangliang's question, Uchiha Gin threw the empty cup behind him. Before the trash hit the ground, it was sucked away by a vortex that appeared out of thin air, leaving no trace.

"?"

Wangliang, hearing this, tilted her little head, her pure white eyes blinking with question marks.

"My original intention for creating the Knight System wasn't to let them lie flat! Everyone, move for me~"

No, no, no, the only one currently lying flat is your dear cousin. The other knights wish they could split themselves in two to use.

"so?"

"You're even using foreign languages now~"

As expected of an intelligent AI, so "foreign"~

Uchiha Gin looked at Wangliang, who had a look of inquiry, slowly straightened his body, and waved his hand seriously.

"It's time... to start the first Knight War."

"Huh?"

Wangliang's white eyes rolled even whiter upon hearing this. Who do you think you are, starting it just because you say so? Do you think the Tailed Beast Knights will even pay attention to you?

Seeing the disdain in Wangliang's eyes, Uchiha Gin, while lamenting his great success in training the AI, opened his arms haughtily.

"I have decided, this competition shall be called the Desire Grand Prix!"

Uchiha Gin, who had finally gotten motivated, had excitement burning in his eyes. As the organizer of the competition, in order to enhance the "class" of the competition, he decided to prepare a luxurious prize.

"And the final winner will be able to get one chance to make a wish." (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 376 =====
