Chapter 454

The Ninja World, with undercurrents surging, was secretly brewing a big storm, but Uchiha Gin was completely unaware of this. Not caring about trivial matters outside, he still lived his life of two points and one line every day.

Konoha Prison,

"Boom—Slap!"

Accompanied by a loud noise that made people look sideways, a thin figure was mercilessly slapped away by a huge force, slamming heavily against the rusty wall.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The figure clutched his chest, falling to the ground in pain, his fluffy curly hair covered in dust, his whole person looking extremely disheveled.

And not far in front of him, the newly arrived prisoner looked at his own palm in a daze.

He, a middleman who resold pork heads, when did he awaken such divine power?

"Truly worthy of being..."

Uchiha Gin, sitting paralyzed on the ground, saw that the timing was about right and skillfully began to chant, but in the next second, a figure pushed open the prison door.

"Lord Gin! You have a letter."

Morino Inoichi waved the letter in his hand, and seeing Uchiha Gin's "disheveled" appearance, a look of deep helplessness instantly appeared on his face.

"My lord, it wasn't me! I just pushed him lightly, and he flew out with a whoosh!"

Seeing the burly Morino Inoichi, the prisoner looked as if he had seen a savior, crawling over and trembling to defend himself.

He came in for illegal food processing; according to Konoha law, he would be detained for 15 days at most and fined some money to settle it.

But if he were labeled with the crime of attacking a jailer, he wouldn't know how many years he would have to spend in prison.

"Lord Gin, sorry to disturb you."

Ignoring the prisoner clutching his pant leg and crying, Morino Inoichi apologized to Uchiha Gin cautiously, then turned to leave, intending to come back after the other party was done.

"My lord! Don't leave me, my lord!"

Seeing this, the prisoner's heart turned to ash instantly. It turned out that the people in the prison were all in cahoots; he was really in a mess now, unable to wash it off even if he tried.

Desperate, he turned his head, only to see the curly-haired man who had been very miserable just a moment ago actually stand up looking refreshed. After casually patting himself, his body was also brand new, showing no signs of the disheveled appearance from just a moment ago.

"What letter?"

Uchiha Gin walked up curiously, ignoring the bewildered prisoner, and took the unknown letter from Morino Inoichi's hand.

"You're fine? Then you just now..."

The prisoner pointed his finger tremblingly.

"Oh? Thank you for your cooperation, Inoichi; give him an extra meal tonight."

Before Morino Inoichi entered the door, the system, which had already been somewhat lazy, had already determined Uchiha Gin's failure. Having eaten several layers of steel, he naturally didn't need to continue acting.

After thanking him, Uchiha Gin walked out of the prison first. After returning to the office, he flipped through the slightly yellowed envelope in his hand, his eyes full of curiosity.

On the envelope were written the words "Uchiha Gin, personally open," in very elegant handwriting, which at a glance was from a woman's hand.

"On a day like today, it wouldn't be a love letter, would it?"

A corner of the envelope felt like it had some texture; could it be that there was a token of love inside?

Sniffing his nose, Uchiha Gin could smell the faint fragrance on the envelope, and couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. He looked around vigilantly to ensure no one was peeping, and only then tore it open with a silly smile.

"Let me see, which young lady has a crush on me... eh?"

Pulling out the letter with a smile, unfortunately, the fantasy hadn't even begun before it was shattered by the ruthless reality. Uchiha Gin's dead fish eyes, which were curved like crescent moons, gradually widened, and his gaze gradually became heavy.

"Shamon Laodi is seriously injured and dying?"

This letter came from the Land of Wind, and the sender was Uchiha Gin's niece, Chiyo, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. The content of the letter was very brief, but the news it conveyed made him slightly startled.

The letter recounted that Shamon Laodi was attacked outside the village, and after transforming to fight, he was still beaten into serious injury and remained in a coma to this day.

But according to certain items left at the scene, the leadership of the Hidden Sand Village had roughly locked onto the criminal suspect.

And the reason Chiyo sent him the letter was to ask Uchiha Gin to go and treat the seriously injured and comatose Shamon.

"Such a big thing, why not send someone?"

Uchiha Gin had already finished reading one side of the letter, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Logically speaking, the Hidden Sand Village and Konoha Village were implied allies. Even if Chiyo didn't come in person, she shouldn't have just sent an unsigned letter to invite him.

With a feeling of doubt, Uchiha Gin casually flipped the letter over, but the content he saw made his face change.

"How is this possible?"

Looking at the two words "Wood Release" on the back, Uchiha Gin's furrowed brows instantly locked tight. His gaze subconsciously fell on the torn envelope, and he raised his hand to pour out the small thing stuffed inside.

Plop!

"This is..."

Looking at the small wooden block that fell on the table, Uchiha Gin's pupils shrank. As a Wood Release master, he could clearly perceive the rich vitality coming from the small wooden block.

This aura was definitely a Wood Release creation.

"No wonder they didn't send anyone."

By now, no matter how stupid Uchiha Gin was, he could guess why the Hidden Sand Village didn't send anyone to invite him.

The village's decision-maker had been crippled by Konoha's former decision-maker; unless the Hidden Sand Village had lost its mind, it wouldn't send anyone.

This matter alone was enough to trigger a Ninja World War.

"No wonder everyone has been acting strange lately."

Uchiha Gin suddenly remembered that for a period of time recently, he hadn't seen his two cousins or Senju Tobirama; it turned out they were in trouble.

With such a big thing happening, Uchiha Gin had no mood to continue working, so he openly chose to skip work.

However, he didn't go directly to Uchiha Madara to ask about this, but turned and walked toward the noisy Land of Waves style street.

Skillfully turning left and right, Uchiha Gin stood in front of a wooden door in a dark alley and knocked a few times.

Bang bang bang—

"Gini."

"Shizai Taimei."

Creak~

The code was correct, and the door opened. The clansman in charge of the review saw Uchiha Gin coming and immediately saluted respectfully.

"Greetings, Lord Gin!"

"Let's go in and talk."

Uchiha Gin nodded and stepped into the Ghost Corps intelligence point stationed in Konoha.

The decoration style of each stronghold was similar, uniformly that kind of chuunibyou-exploding medieval style, with red and black as the base, very much in line with the Uchiha clan's aesthetics.

"Lord Gin, the subordinate is incompetent and hasn't found the information on that monk yet."

The clansman in charge of managing the stronghold lowered his head with a look of shame.

"Let's put that matter aside for now. I ask you, have any major events happened in the other ninja villages recently?"

Uchiha Gin shook his head, not blaming him, and instead asked about major events in the Ninja World recently.

"Eh... yes, and it's not small, but every village has blocked the news, and we only managed to spy on it with great difficulty."

"Let's hear it."

"Please wait a moment."

The clansman turned and entered the depths of the stronghold. Before long, he walked out with a scroll and respectfully handed it to Uchiha Gin.

"Because the incident is too complex, the subordinate can't explain it clearly for a while, so please read it yourself, Lord Gin."

Weighing the heavy scroll, Uchiha Gin felt a sense of gravity in his heart. He found a place to rest in the stronghold, sat down, and slowly opened the scroll in his hand.

【The Second Kazekage was attacked on the way to Loulan, seriously injured and comatose...】

【The Hidden Mist Village fleet encountered an unknown attack; except for the Third Mizukage, no one survived.】

【The Third Tsuchikage Onoki was attacked, his lower body on the verge of paralysis.】

【The Cloud Village AB brothers were attacked on the way to a mission, one disabled and one seriously injured.】

Looking at the heavy intelligence in his hand, Uchiha Gin gasped.

These four pieces of intelligence, no matter which one was taken out, were enough to trigger a protracted war.

"Is this package true?"

"It's true, Lord Gin."

"Any clues about the murderer?"

Uchiha Gin's eyes were strange. If it was as Chiyo said in the letter, then the culprit who did these four things was very likely a group of people.

And this group of people should be the mastermind who kidnapped Hashirama Laodi.

"The subordinate hasn't found out yet. The major ninja villages have blocked the detailed content of the incident very tightly. The Ghost Corps tried its best, and only found out this much."

"It's okay, you've already done very well."

After putting the scroll away and returning it to the terrified clansman, Uchiha Gin left a sentence and then stood up to leave.

He now needed to collect some more detailed information to verify his conjecture.

Leaving the Land of Waves style street, Uchiha Gin went straight home. Unexpectedly, as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw guests who had come from afar.

"Gin-san~ Sashiburi!"

Only to see a voluptuous figure wrap around with lightning speed, white lotus arms wrapping around Uchiha Gin's neck, and white hair simultaneously hanging in front of his chest.

"You haven't visited me for a long time~"

Otsutsuki Biluo's red, full lips pouted high, and her large white eyes were full of resentment.

Feeling the amazing touch behind him, Uchiha Gin felt a sway in his heart, but the corner of his eye unfortunately glanced at the sofa in the living room.

Looking at the three girls staring at him, his face tightened immediately, and he pushed Otsutsuki Biluo, who was sticking to him, away righteously.

"Don't talk nonsense, didn't I just go on the 15th of this month?"

"But if I don't see Gin-san for a minute, my heart goes thump-thump; if you don't believe me, listen."

Otsutsuki Biluo, who was pushed away, was not angry either. She deliberately pulled open her already deep-V neckline, showing the bottomless scar to Uchiha Gin for appreciation.

"Eh..."

Is this scar too white?

"Sister Biluo, please have some self-respect!"

Just as Uchiha Gin was using his eyeballs to treat the scar, Otsutsuki Yueji, sitting on the sofa, finally couldn't hold it anymore.

"We are guests, pay attention to etiquette."

"Alright, alright~"

Looking at the angry Otsutsuki Yueji, Otsutsuki Biluo curled her lips and reluctantly covered her deep-V.

This can only be seen by Gin-san.

"Why did you come?"

Uchiha Gin sat on the single sofa, looking at the two moon people who had come from afar, and asked curiously.

"Can't we come if there's nothing wrong?"

Otsutsuki Yueji took a small sip of the clear tea in her hand and replied lightly.

"That's not it; with our relationship, you can come whenever you want. My house is very big, and staying for a long time is no problem."

Already accustomed to the sister-in-law's fickle temper, Uchiha Gin spoke very sincerely.

"Really? Then I want to live in the room next to Gin-san!"

Otsutsuki Biluo, who was on the side, heard this and immediately raised her hand with a smile.

"No!" *2

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Uchiha Hikari, who was expressionless, and Senju Itama, who was gnashing his teeth, shouted in unison.

"Eh?"

"There are no rooms left next door."

Uchiha Hikari fiercely glared at Otsutsuki Biluo's proud figure and explained coldly.

"So that's it, then I'll just go live in Gin-san's room."

"No!"

Everyone looked at Otsutsuki Yueji, who had suddenly spoken, their eyes full of strangeness.

"N-no, Sister Biluo, as guests, we must follow the host's arrangements; we must know etiquette, you know?"

Otsutsuki Yueji bit her lip, stuttered, and forcibly found a seemingly appropriate reason, but her pure white eyes subconsciously looked to the side, and the small hand holding the teacup tightened slightly, enough to show the owner's nervousness.

"Got it~"

Otsutsuki Biluo pouted and sat back on the sofa.

Going out with the clan leader is troublesome; next time she will sneak down to play by herself.

"You two came down together, it wouldn't be as simple as just visiting, right?"

Looking at Otsutsuki Yueji, who was sitting upright, Uchiha Gin always felt that the other party's arrival was very strange; they had clearly met on the moon not long ago.

"It's the ancestor's entrustment."

Otsutsuki Yueji put down the teacup in her hand and nodded slightly, expressionless.

"Ancestor?"

Uchiha Gin blinked in confusion. Why did Otsutsuki Hamura pop up?

He thought that after the Tenseigan crisis was resolved, like the Six Paths ancestor in the Ninja World, he would stay in the Pure Land and start enjoying his retirement life.

"That's right, the ancestor issued an edict for me to find a monk who has lived for a thousand years."

"Uh..."

Why are you moon people also looking for that Jigen? Could it be that the other party is really some hidden big shot?

"Didn't say why?"

"No, but the ancestor said..."

Otsutsuki Yueji shook her head, her eyes full of faint confusion.

"... He might destroy the whole world."

"Nani?"

Hearing this information, Uchiha Gin's pupils shrank. To be able to make Otsutsuki Hamura give such a high evaluation, who exactly is that mysterious monk?

Actually, when Jigen fought Senju Hashirama, the two old brothers in the Pure Land discovered some clues.

According to the power Jigen revealed, the two brothers quickly judged that the other party was a clansman of their mother, but unfortunately, both were in the Pure Land and could not directly interfere with matters in the present world.

So, after a discussion between the two, they decided to throw out a small king first, which was Otsutsuki Yueji, to test Jigen's depth.

If the other party only showed the level of the battle with Senju Hashirama, they could rest assured and continue to enjoy life in the Pure Land.

But if Jigen was hiding his strength and still had a big killer weapon they didn't know about, the two brothers could only send out the ultimate weapon they had carefully cultivated for many years.

In the middle of the night,

After settling the two women who had come from afar, Uchiha Gin sat on the bed without falling asleep, instead touching his chin with one hand and starting to review the whole event.

Whether it was Senju Hashirama's disappearance or the attack on the Tailed Beast Knight, all of this was inseparable from the mysterious Jigen.

"What is his purpose?"

Uchiha Gin scratched his head in confusion, his other free hand supporting him behind him.

"Ah~!"

"Huh??"

The warmth in his hand made Uchiha Gin's whole body stiffen. This familiar softness, only...

"Bi... Biluo, you..."

"Oh my, guessing it's me without turning your head, Gin-san is really amazing~"

Ps: Wish all readers, like Gin-san, have an unforgettable night today. (End of chapter)
