Chapter 438

"Is this black tea of yours... decent?"

Standing at the entrance of Senju Tobirama's secret laboratory, Uchiha Gin held a bottle of familiar small sweet water, an inexplicable fear subconsciously arising in his heart.

It seems last time...

No, wasn't that time in the Hidden Sand Village?

"Drink it or don't."

Senju Tobirama, who was checking the physical state of the death-row prisoner, turned his head impatiently.

If it weren't for his little granddaughter loving to drink it, he wouldn't buy this kind of junk food; it was the Senju custom version ordered from the manufacturer at a high price, the price being three times higher than those on the market.

"I'll believe you for once."

The desire for sugar outweighed the inexplicable fear, and Uchiha Gin skillfully unscrewed the cap, tilted his head, and took a fierce gulp.

"Gulp gulp gulp~"

"Hiccup! That hits the spot~"

Looking at the familiar action, Senju Tobirama closed his eyes in pain; he finally knew who had taught his most adorable little Tsunade bad habits.

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

Coincidentally at this time, the death-row prisoner in a coma woke up, and Senju Tobirama, who was in a fit of anger, slapped him on the head, adding a physical hypnosis.

"Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation."

Placing the death-row prisoner in the pre-prepared formation, Senju Tobirama skillfully performed the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, which had become much more proficient during this period.

With the surging gray dust, the death-row prisoner with a red handprint on his forehead exerted his last bit of residual heat.

"Phew... safe."

Seeing the failure to summon the soul of Big Brother, Senju Tobirama couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but after feeling relieved, his face was filled with deep worry.

Although the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu could verify Senju Hashirama's life or death, this was not a long-term solution; his Shadow Clones had basically searched every corner of the Ninja World, not even missing the remote Land of Snow.

However, so much time had passed, and Senju Hashirama was still completely silent; as for that mysterious monk Jigen, it was the same.

"Hey, this isn't a solution."

A lazy voice interrupted Senju Tobirama's thoughts, pulling him back to the cruel reality.

"Indeed, the matter of Big Brother's disappearance can't be hidden for much longer."

Senju Tobirama rubbed his sore temples, recalling his sister-in-law blocking him at the office door these past few days, and the cold sweat on his body couldn't stop coming out.

Uchiha Madara was also affected by this matter; he didn't pay much attention to the work he had just taken over, absent-minded all day, and didn't know what he was planning.

"No, I mean, you can't keep letting me sneak in to send people every two or three days; the prisoners in the prison are about seeing people alive or seeing corpses, and if they keep disappearing like this, it's hard for me to handle~"

Uchiha Gin was also quite concerned about Senju Hashirama's disappearance, but that wasn't a reason for Senju Tobirama to squeeze him.

Originally, as an old comrade who had witnessed the vicissitudes of Konoha, Uchiha Gin had long reached the age of retirement.

However, the village's pension welfare policy hadn't been implemented yet, so he could only fish, working five minutes a day and resting for eight hours.

As a result, he had taken on such a job, and he had to get up in the middle of the night to deliver takeout for Senju Tobirama; no one could stand this.

"You overcome it first."

"Overcome what? My family now thinks I have a mistress outside, and they hold a trial for me every day; why don't you go and explain it to them?"

Listening to Senju Tobirama's irresponsible words, Uchiha Gin was so angry that he almost crushed the beverage bottle in his hand.

He hadn't had small sweet water at home for several days, otherwise, he wouldn't have been bought by this white-haired man with a bottle of Lao Da iced black tea.

"Ah, this..."

When it came to his family, Senju Tobirama's face became strange, his brows instantly furrowed, but soon relaxed, and he looked at Uchiha Gin with a scrutinizing gaze.

"What do you mean by that look? I'm here to deliver goods, not to provide service."

Feeling Senju Tobirama's gaze, Uchiha Gin immediately retreated a few steps in vigilance.

"You should have the level of a Jonin, right?"

"Huh?"

Uchiha Gin frowned; could this white-haired man see something?

Clearly, he had covered it up very well.

Sigh... no way!

Sure enough, excellent people are as dazzling as fireflies in the dark night.

"Actually, it's fine even if you don't have Jonin level."

"Huh!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Gin was furious and got angry.

"You..."

"After all, the learning threshold for the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu is not as high as you imagine."

Senju Tobirama touched his chin, nodding to himself.

"According to your IQ, you should be able to learn it."

After all, Uchiha Gin also had the title of Konoha's number one developer; although in Senju Tobirama's view, this talent was a bit biased, it also proved from the side that his IQ was still online.

"You want to teach me ninjutsu?"

Looking at Senju Tobirama, who was talking to himself, Uchiha Gin, who had come back to his senses, showed a strange expression.

"Why, don't want to learn?"

"That's not it."

Someone was willing to teach him an awesome forbidden jutsu, Uchiha Gin naturally raised both hands in favor, especially since it was Senju Tobirama, who had always been at odds with him; he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Here."

Seeing Uchiha Gin agree, Senju Tobirama turned around and rummaged through the research room for a while, finally taking out a scroll that looked relatively new and throwing it to him.

"You teach me this, you don't want to..."

After getting the forbidden jutsu, Uchiha Gin didn't rush to open it, but frowned in confusion.

"That's right, from now on, you will be responsible for regularly verifying Big Brother's life or death; if there is any abnormality, report it to me immediately."

Sure enough, this was outsourcing the work to him.

"Can I refuse?"

It wasn't that the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu wasn't attractive enough, but the backyard refreshed with better cost-performance.

"Then starting tomorrow, send a sacrifice every morning, noon, and night."

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll learn, I'll learn, okay?"

Just like that, under Senju Tobirama's coercion and inducement, Uchiha Gin painfully began to learn this forbidden jutsu that only the behind-the-scenes boss would dabble in.

Worried that Uchiha Gin wouldn't understand the subtlety of Impure World Reincarnation, Senju Tobirama specifically explained it to him, but he let it go in one ear and out the other, distracted and counting the stars outside the window.

"Hey! Are you even listening?"

Senju Tobirama, who was dry-mouthed from talking, found that Uchiha Gin was actually wandering outside the sky, and was instantly furious, his eyes turning red.

His fingers were almost raised, determined to give the evil Uchiha old man in front of him a little Flying Thunder God shock.

"Ah?"

Uchiha Gin, who had come back to his senses, looked at Senju Tobirama blankly.

"Do I still need to listen? Isn't it just forming four seals with 'kutsukaka', and then silently reciting in my heart, 'My chakra is large and full, Six Paths Ancestor, show your spirit~'"

Crack!

Senju Tobirama's fist hardened.

"Fine, fine, fine, since you are so confident, then I will give you a chance to perform; tomorrow I will go to the prison to check your training results."

Forcing himself to endure the urge to hit someone, Senju Tobirama decided to let Uchiha Gin die knowing, then set an assessment time, and kicked him out of the house.

"Man! My iced black tea!"

Uchiha Gin, standing at Senju Tobirama's door, found that he had forgotten to bring something, and quickly turned around to shout.

Whoosh~

As soon as the words fell, a familiar package flew out from inside the wall; Uchiha Gin quickly stepped forward to catch it, finding it was the small sweet water he had drunk half of, and a smile instantly hung on his face.

"Damn curly-haired man, there will be a time for you to make a fool of yourself tomorrow."

Senju Tobirama, standing in the courtyard, gritted his teeth tightly; he really didn't believe that Uchiha Gin could learn the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu in one day.

This ninjutsu wasn't the kind where you clap your hands and get whatever you want; it not only required the caster to have a very fine level of chakra manipulation but also required a certain degree of understanding of space-time power.

In general, the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu wasn't a quick-success ninjutsu; it required a long period of practice to gradually master.

Moreover, this version of the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu still had many flaws, but Senju Tobirama was currently entangled in trivial matters and had no time or energy to upgrade this ninjutsu.

"That white-haired man, who are you looking down on?"

Uchiha Gin, carrying half a bottle of small sweet water, cursed all the way on the road.

"Phew... fortunately, they are all asleep~"

After pushing open the door, he deliberately lightened his footsteps, found no movement around, and instantly put his heart back into his stomach.

Sneaking to push open his bedroom door, Uchiha Gin drilled in with a flash, just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he found an electric light emitting a faint glow suddenly lit up.

"Who!?"

Uchiha Gin was startled.

"Where did you go again?"

I saw two familiar figures standing up in the dim bedroom; Uchiha Hikari and Senju Itama, who didn't know how long they had been waiting here, were looking at Uchiha Gin with extremely dangerous eyes.

"This is the tenth time this month."

"Late... late dinner, I went out for a stroll..."

Uchiha Gin, who was cold as a cicada, swallowed his saliva, trying his best to appear innocent.

"Oh? Then what are you carrying in your hand?"

Uchiha Hikari, with sharp eyes, immediately saw the small sweet water Uchiha Gin was carrying.

"I got a bit thirsty halfway through the stroll."

Uchiha Gin explained as if nothing was wrong, raising the half bottle of small sweet water in his hand.

"Wait! This isn't ordinary small sweet water, it's a custom version!"

Senju Itama, who was eyeing him covetously to the side, stepped forward, checked the small sweet water after snatching it, and soon discovered the clue.

"Huh?"

Now it was Uchiha Gin's turn to be confused; no wonder it used to sell for three dollars and fifty cents, and now it rose to five dollars; it turned out someone was doing private customization.

"It's the Senju custom version, generally only circulating among the high-level of the Senju clan..."

Senju Itama, who was too familiar with this packaging, had her brain explode; she had only seen the same small sweet water in her sister-in-law's boudoir.

"What exactly did you go to do?"

Senju Itama, trembling all over, questioned.

"Uh... I really just went for a stroll!"

Uchiha Gin, who still didn't know the misunderstanding was big, still insisted on his initial testimony.

Seeing Uchiha Gin preparing to resist to the end, Senju Itama, who had imagined a big drama, shook her head at Uchiha Hikari, signaling that there wasn't a word of truth.

"It seems that if you don't suffer a bit, you won't tell the truth."

Uchiha Hikari, who understood, had her eyes instantly stained with scarlet.

The next moment, a cherry-red giant hand appeared, and Uchiha Gin, who hadn't set up defenses, was instantly slapped out of the window, landing straight in the backyard.

"You can reflect outside tonight."

Uchiha Hikari, standing by the window, sentenced coldly; after saying that, she slammed the window shut.

"Ouch ouch..."

Waiting for the two women's line of sight to disappear, Uchiha Gin finally pulled himself out of the ground, patting the dust on his body, with an expression of "life is loveless."

"I have borne the burden that I shouldn't have at my age~"

Sitting on the recliner in the backyard, Uchiha Gin shook his head with emotion; in order to help that white-haired man Senju Tobirama keep secrets, he could be said to have slept on brushwood and tasted gall.

If it weren't for the sake of the village, Uchiha Gin would have long ago stolen the monkey skin from Senju Itama's underwear and flicked the glass of her house.

"Eh?"

Just as Uchiha Gin was thinking about where to sleep tonight, he suddenly felt the air around him stagnate.

It was a familiar formula.

I saw a water-ripple light screen appear on the open space not far away; Uchiha Gin saw this and began to prepare for warm-up exercises.

"Hehe, no matter who it is, it's your bad luck to come tonight!"

At this moment, Uchiha Gin was full of depression and urgently needed a sandbag to vent well.

"Dadada... da..."

Waiting for the refreshed NPC to walk out of the light screen, a brilliant smile instantly bloomed on Uchiha Gin's face.

The white hedgehog hair fluttered in the wind, the scarlet eyes carried the dullness unique to NPCs, and the indigo armor was very well maintained, even reflecting Uchiha Gin's figure onto it.

"Now I have to stand up and play with you!"

Uchiha Gin, sitting on the recliner, stood up quickly, with an expression of eagerness to try.

After a short loading, the NPC was successfully activated; the emotionless pupils swept over Uchiha Gin, and his hands immediately began to form seals.

Yin - Si - Xu - Chen

"Oh? It wouldn't be such a coincidence, right?"

Uchiha Gin blinked in surprise.

Boom~

As the NPC Senju Tobirama put his hands together, a formation that Uchiha Gin was extremely familiar with suddenly appeared on the ground.

"Slap!"

After the jutsu was successfully cast, the NPC slapped the ground with one hand, and a mass of gray dust appeared out of thin air in the formation.

Immediately after, a figure composed of ashes slowly condensed.

"It works without sacrifices?"

Uchiha Gin originally thought the other party would fail due to lack of materials, but he didn't expect the NPC in the backyard to be able to skip this process and cast Impure World Reincarnation directly without cost.

Waiting for the figure of Impure World Reincarnation to completely condense into a human shape, Uchiha Gin's eyebrows instantly furrowed into a "chuan" shape.

"No, uncle, who are you?"

The dead person who appeared in front of him was a middle-aged man with a passerby face who looked to be in his forties or fifties, wearing red armor common in the Warring States Period, with a white headscarf tied to his forehead.

The careful Uchiha Gin found the clan emblem of the Senju clan on the other party's armor; it seemed to be a Senju clansman from the Warring States Period.

But there were only a few powerhouses in the Senju clan, so why would the NPC summon a middle-aged man who looked like he had a bad temper for no reason? This made Uchiha Gin a bit puzzled.

"Could it be an unknown mysterious powerhouse of the Senju clan?"

Uchiha Gin, who vaguely sensed something was wrong, felt that the dead person summoned by the NPC was specifically used to restrain him.

So he put away his contempt and looked at the dead person in front of him again.

As a result, he didn't know until he looked, but upon closer inspection, Uchiha Gin's memories from many years ago began to act up, his arms began to ache faintly, and at the same time, the white-haired NPC standing behind him had a weird arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Damn! You are..." (End of chapter)
