The next day.

Today was the day of departure. Uchiha Gin uncharacteristically didn't laze in bed. After going downstairs, he found that Senju Itama had already prepared a table full of food, and Uchiha Hikari, who usually looked like a sleepyhead, had actually gotten up early and was eating breakfast with her eyes half-closed.

Uchiha Gin walked up, pulled out a chair, and sat down. Senju Itama, wearing a small apron, brought over a steaming bowl of oatmeal at just the right moment.

"Eat up, I added three spoonfuls."

"Yay~"

Eagerly scooping a spoonful into his mouth, Uchiha Gin's excited expression froze instantly on his face. Even so, he refused to believe it and took another bite, his complexion turning pitch-black in an instant.

"What did you add?"

"Salt."

"You rebellious child."

Uchiha Gin had even doubted his own taste buds for a moment, not suspecting Senju Itama, but the cruel truth made him feel a bit cold. He then tremblingly reached out, pointing at the culprit before him, wanting to demand an explanation.

"Hmph~"

Senju Itama ignored him, instead pouting angrily and turning to leave without looking back.

You didn't take me with you when you went out, choke on it, you curly-haired baboon!

"Sigh."

The cub he raised himself—he couldn't hit her, and he couldn't scold her. Uchiha Gin had no choice but to pinch his nose and accept it. After painfully forcing the doctored oatmeal down his throat, he looked at Uchiha Hikari, who was still in a daze, and after a moment of thought, said,

"Hikari, your good girlfriend came to see you yesterday."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Hikari opened her eyelids, her black eyes filled with confusion. Seeing this, Uchiha Gin pointed at the ceiling.

"Oh~"

Uchiha Hikari immediately showed a look of understanding. She stuck out her pink, fragrant tongue and swirled it, nimbly licking away the food residue from the corner of her mouth, then asked,

"Where is she?"

"I persuaded her to leave."

"That woman is no pushover. Are you sure she'll listen to you?"

Having faced off against Kaguya Otsutsuki for many years to get Uchiha Hikari, she knew well how difficult that big-breasted Byakugan woman was, so she didn't believe the other party would give up so easily.

"Don't worry, my words still carry some weight. Let's set off after we finish eating~"

Uchiha Gin scratched his head. With his sister-in-law's shut-in personality, she shouldn't be able to stir up any trouble, right?

After simply packing his luggage, Uchiha Gin took Uchiha Hikari, who had a small bag on her back, and hurried toward the agreed-upon spot at the village entrance.

On the other side, the Chiyo siblings, who had been waiting at the village entrance for a long time, were sitting upright with bated breath, and standing beside them was a gloomy-looking white-haired man.

"Ohayou~"

Uchiha Gin, who had wandered all the way to the village entrance, greeted the waiting group lazily. Seeing that Senju Tobirama, that white-haired man, was actually there too, he felt a bit confused.

"I'm here to confirm the number of people on the mission."

Senju Tobirama crossed his arms, his expression as foul as if Uchiha Gin owed him a fortune.

"You village secretary are really free. Remember to let our Uchiha clan have a turn next term~"

Hearing this, Uchiha Gin rolled his eyes impatiently, then spread his hands.

"Just me and Hikari."

"Hmph~ If I find out you're taking anyone else, see how I deal with you!"

After carefully confirming and finding no sign of his little sister, Senju Tobirama let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. After leaving those words, he flicked his finger, a blue light flashed, and he flew back to his post.

"How inexplicable. Could I conjure a person out of thin air for you?"

Uchiha Gin shook his head in disdain, scoffing at the white-haired man who worried about nothing.

After Senju Tobirama left, the Chiyo siblings finally felt relieved, their tense expressions relaxing significantly. Being able to make the future Eternal Mangekyo-wielding Sasuke sweat, the pressure from the white-haired man was no joke.

"Hello, Uncle!"

Chiyo led her not-so-bright younger brother to greet Uchiha Gin, while her beautiful eyes curiously examined the unfamiliar black-haired woman.

"Uncle?"

Uchiha Hikari, who had been sleepy-eyed, instantly woke up upon hearing the voice of the unfamiliar big-breasted woman before her. She looked at Uchiha Gin beside her, her black eyes filled with a thick, strange look.

"Gin, so you like this kind of roleplay~"

"Don't misunderstand, she really is my niece. Her father and I are old friends..."

Sensing the mockery in Uchiha Hikari's tone, Uchiha Gin explained with a bitter face.

"Oh? A 'big' niece in the prime of her life. So you really do like purple more, huh?"

When Uchiha Hikari said "big," she deliberately emphasized the word, then cast her gaze on Chiyo's purple hair, her tone carrying a hint of sourness.

"Hey~ what are you saying? Of course, black is my favorite!"

Say what people want to hear, say what ghosts want to hear; Uchiha Gin immediately corrected his fetish. Black is the best!

"What about red?"

"A bit inferior~"

"What about white?"

"Slightly less charming!"

Everything had to be said in reverse; otherwise, if he annoyed Hikari, Uchiha Gin wouldn't have any good fruit to eat either. His kidneys were already in shambles~

"Who is this?"

Looking at the unfamiliar black-haired woman's beauty, which far surpassed her own, Chiyo felt a bit ashamed for a moment. Although she was the village beauty, the climate of the Land of Wind destined her to never have cold, fair skin. Uchiha Hikari's skin, which looked like it would break at a touch, made her envious to the point of turning purple.

"Uchiha Hikari, my girlfriend."

Scratching his head, the relationship between Uchiha Hikari and Uchiha Gin was already out in the open, so there was no need for him to hide it.

"Then that makes you Auntie. Hello, Auntie! My name is Chiyo, and this is my brother, Ebizo."

Chiyo immediately changed how she addressed her, introducing herself while pulling her brother out from behind her. Calling her "Auntie" over and over, she sounded very familiar.

"Gin, your big niece is quite sensible~"

Being called that by Chiyo, Uchiha Hikari was instantly satisfied. She had originally been wary of this purple-haired, big-breasted girl, but now her defenses were completely broken.

"Alright, Uchiha squad, move out!"

After the introductions were finished, Uchiha Gin waved his hand, and they set off immediately.

After leaving the village, Ebizo, acting as the guide, walked in front to lead the way. Chiyo, who had struck up a conversation with Uchiha Hikari, followed by her side, asking for secrets to skincare and whitening. Uchiha Gin, being a salted fish, naturally trailed at the very back of the group.

The four of them traveled for a while, and the gates of the Hidden Leaf Village gradually disappeared from view behind them.

Not long after, Uchiha Gin, who was at the back of the group, suddenly sensed a familiar aura on their path ahead. After identifying the owner of the aura, his expression instantly turned strange.

No way, she didn't leave?

Uchiha Gin felt a sense of dread in his heart. There was a 99% chance the other party was here for Hikari.

"Stop!"

Ebizo, who was leading the group at the very front, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What's wrong, Ebizo?"

Chiyo, who was having a pleasant conversation with Uchiha Hikari, asked with a somewhat unpleasant expression. Was this stupid brother having another episode?

"There's someone ahead."

Ebizo frowned, pulling two kunai from his sleeves, his tone filled with caution.

"Someone? Let me see!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Hikari raised an eyebrow and immediately activated her Sharingan, wanting to see for herself.

Uchiha Gin felt a tightness in his chest. If Hikari saw her sister-in-law blocking the road, a conflict would definitely break out.

"That is... who is that? Why do they look so familiar~"

Just as Uchiha Gin was extremely nervous, Uchiha Hikari, with her eyes wide open, showed a look of confusion on her pretty face.

After blinking, she turned her head and asked Uchiha Gin, who was breaking out in cold sweat,

"Gin, are you familiar with people from the Hyuga clan?"

"Huh?"

This question completely stunned Uchiha Gin, so he also activated his Sharingan and looked toward the black dot in the distance. It didn't matter if he didn't look, but one look gave him a shock.

On the road in the distance stood a black-haired woman wearing the special tight-fitting clothes of the Hyuga clan. Her two white eyes emitted a cold light, and she was staring straight at Uchiha Gin and the others. Discovering that Uchiha Gin was looking at her, the woman even specially brushed back her jet-black hair.

Hinata?

No, it's my sister-in-law, Kaguya!

Looking at the transformed Kaguya Otsutsuki, Uchiha Gin, thinking he had been transmigrated, almost slapped himself twice.

Too similar!

When they first met, Uchiha Gin felt that Kaguya Otsutsuki and Hinata Hyuga were 80% similar. Now, after a magical makeover, they were exactly the same, even the magnificent figure was a one-to-one restoration.

"Who are you?"

Relying on their superior numbers, Ebizo continued to lead the team forward, stopping not far from the strange woman and questioning her sternly.

"Uncle, she seems to be from your Hidden Leaf Village."

Chiyo took the opportunity to examine the strange black-haired woman and found that she had a Hidden Leaf headband hanging from her slender waist. Based on her pure white eyes, she judged that the woman was definitely from the Hidden Leaf.

"Yeah."

At this point, Uchiha Gin had no choice but to pinch his nose and accept it.

"Why did you take so long to get here?"

The black-haired woman, exuding a cold and aloof aura, ignored the questioning Ebizo and instead cast her gaze upon the furrow-browed Uchiha Hikari and the sweating Uchiha Gin.

Observing from such close range, if Uchiha Hikari still couldn't recognize this woman she had fought with for years, she might as well gouge out her own eyes.

"Y-you are, wooo~"

She opened her mouth wide in shock, just about to blurt out the name Kaguya Otsutsuki, but was silenced by Uchiha Gin, who covered her mouth with quick reflexes.

"Oh my~ isn't this Yue—"

"Tsukuyomi."

Looking at this black-haired version of Kaguya Otsutsuki, Uchiha Gin couldn't think of a name for a moment, but the other party seemed prepared for her fake identity, coldly spitting out a name first.

"Right, right, right, Tsukuyomi, Hyuga Tsukuyomi! Hikari's good girlfriend~"

Uchiha Gin nodded immediately, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and simultaneously released his hand from Uchiha Hikari's small mouth.

"What are you here for? To fight?"

Uchiha Hikari licked her lips with regret, looked at the black-haired version of Kaguya Otsutsuki, and asked with a frown.

"Yes, but not now. I know you are on a mission, so I will wait until you finish it before I settle the score with you."

Kaguya Otsutsuki—no, she should be called Hyuga Tsukuyomi now—nodded slightly, but then shook her head, her pure white eyes passing over Uchiha Hikari and landing on the sweating Uchiha Gin.

"Then with that outfit, don't tell me you're going to...?"

Feeling a sense of crisis from the other party's inexplicable gaze, Uchiha Hikari immediately spoke up to confirm.

"That's right. He said the mission won't take long, and I happen to be free, so I'll accompany you."

The cold-faced Hyuga Tsukuyomi dropped a bombshell, submitting her application to join the team just like that.

"Huh?"

Uchiha Gin clutched his head in a headache; he didn't dare refuse his sister-in-law's application, but as for Hikari...

"Fine."

To Uchiha Gin's surprise, Hikari agreed immediately, not refusing due to her conflict with Hyuga Tsukuyomi.

Chiyo and her brother exchanged glances; judging by the atmosphere between the three, there seemed to be some indescribable relationship involved.

"Auntie, who is she?"

Out of caution (and gossip), Chiyo quietly asked Uchiha Hikari.

"Hyuga... Tsukuyomi. Barely an acquaintance."

Uchiha Hikari turned her head away, glanced at the relieved Uchiha Gin, and then explained with a strange tone.

"She wants to join too, but the village secretary said before that if there's one more person..."

Seeing the suddenly appearing stranger wanting to join the team, Chiyo couldn't help but feel some concerns.

Just now at the village gate, Tobirama Senju had laid down a harsh ultimatum!

"Then we should welcome a new teammate even more!"

The more the white-haired one opposes it, the more I must do it!

"Alright..."

Since their uncle had said so, Chiyo and her brother had no choice but to nod in agreement.

【Hyuga Tsukuyomi has successfully joined the Uchiha squad.】

The four-person squad expanded to five. Chiyo, who had just been chatting with Uchiha Hikari about skin whitening and skincare, was forced by the pressure of a certain Byakugan to vacate her spot and slinked away to talk about ideals with her brother.

"Big Sister, why are you here?"

"Enough nonsense, I'm afraid an idiot like you will lead us the wrong way!"

Uchiha Hikari looked at Hyuga Tsukuyomi running beside her, the inexplicable look in her eyes growing more intense.

"Don't worry, I won't fight you for now."

As if sensing the gaze, Hyuga Tsukuyomi turned her face slightly, her voice cold and ethereal.

"No, I just want to ask you a few questions."

Gently shaking her head, Uchiha Hikari said in a voice only the two of them could hear.

The reason she let Hyuga Tsukuyomi join, besides not wanting to make things difficult for Gin, was mostly because she had some things she wanted to ask this woman from the moon.

"Oh?"

Hyuga Tsukuyomi raised an eyebrow in confusion. She didn't actually have much interaction with Uchiha Hikari; for so many years, it had been a pure rivalry—the kind that only determined who was better, not who lived or died.

"That big-breasted woman who came down with you, what kind of tricks does she actually use to make Gin so reluctant to leave?"

Seeing that Hyuga Tsukuyomi didn't refuse, Uchiha Hikari pondered for a moment and asked the question she had buried for years.

"Uh... Big Sister Otsutsuki Biluo, she plays very wild."

Uchiha Hikari's question caused Hyuga Tsukuyomi's brain to idle for a few seconds. After a brief moment of distraction, a look of shyness appeared on her cold face for the first time.

"Very wild? How wild!?"

Uchiha Hikari, confident she could handle anything, immediately pressed for an answer; she didn't want to lose to some unknown wild flower in certain aspects.

"***, can you do that?"
