Chapter 47: Seeing Is Not Necessarily Believing, But I Am Truly Not Myself

Looking at the bizarrely styled old jailer opposite him with a face full of horror, Uchiha Gin subconsciously retreated a few steps to put some distance between them.

He only wanted information, yet the other party was actually coveting his body! Bah, you old pervert!

Even though he was cursing inwardly, for the sake of the information from six years ago, he could not show it and could only bite the bullet and say,

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior. Let us move on to the next question."

"Who was the person imprisoned in the jail six years ago?"

Uchiha Gin asked the question he was desperate to know the answer to.

"It was what they call,"

the old jailer answered leisurely, "a traitor."

"A traitor?"

Hearing this term, Uchiha Gin frowned again. What on earth happened six years ago that a traitor would even appear?

"Who is that traitor?"

Uchiha Gin, who had some faint guesses in his heart, asked.

"Just as you think, it is a clansman of the Uchiha."

The old jailer's tone was somewhat heavy.

"Then this has to do with?"

Uchiha Gin felt a headache coming on; the person captured was actually a traitor from the Uchiha clan.

According to his understanding, the Uchiha clan had actually had internal conflicts for years.

The reason was that the people of the Uchiha clan were naturally very sensitive in their emotions and had great obsessions regarding people and things, so they often broke out into infighting due to disagreements.

"The attack on the clan grounds? Heh."

Hearing Uchiha Gin's muttering, the old jailer let out a strange, mocking laugh.

"What do you mean?"

Sensing that there was more to the old jailer's words, Uchiha Gin could not help but ask.

"They whitewashed that incident as an attack; it is truly laughable."

After the cold laugh, the old jailer dropped a bombshell.

"What exactly do you know?"

Uchiha Gin's heart shook violently. He had only wanted to track down the identity of the person imprisoned six years ago, yet it had dragged out an even more secretive event.

A moment later, Uchiha Gin clutched his throbbing head.

"But I am the only survivor of that attack. I saw with my own eyes that it was the Kaguya clan who launched a massacre against our old, weak, women, and children."

The once-sealed painful memories were uncovered once again. The intense stimulation made his head feel like it was splitting, and his eyes were stained blood-red, as if he were a man-eating beast.

"How can you be sure that what you saw is the truth?"

The old jailer looked at Uchiha Gin, who was gasping for air while clutching his forehead, and sighed slightly.

"How do you know that you are truly yourself?"

This sentence from the old jailer was like a thunderclap on a clear day, exploding in his brain with a boom.

Uchiha Gin felt as if someone had pried open his skull and was frantically stirring inside with a stick.

His eyes bulged, the eyeballs looking as if they would burst the next second. If viewed from a third-person perspective, the two tomoe in Uchiha Gin's left eye, which had never moved an inch, were now spinning rapidly, and in the process, a third tomoe slowly emerged.

"Ahhhhh..."

The intense pain made Uchiha Gin unable to stop himself from wailing aloud. The miserable sound startled the guards at the door.

Uchiha Hi no Ki and Uchiha Jiro rushed to the scene upon hearing the news and discovered that the person lying in the cell was none other than Uchiha Gin, whom they had just spoken with.

At this moment, he was covered in cold sweat, his face deathly pale, and his eyes tightly shut. The two immediately began to rescue him.

However, after exhausting all means, they could not wake him up. Knowing there was nothing else they could do, the two immediately hoisted Uchiha Gin up and ran toward the medical station in the clan grounds.

While in a coma, Uchiha Gin dreamed of a strange scene again.

In a strange hospital room, a young girl sat on her knees in a corner, and in another corner sat a slightly older boy.

The scene changed. Amidst ruins, the girl rested her head against the boy's chest, crying as she said something. At this moment, the boy's eyes were already overflowing with blood.

In the final scene, the boy looked up, and a bewitching red moon hung in the sky.

At the Uchiha clan's medical station, Uchiha Gin lay on a hospital bed with two boys sitting beside him.

Uchiha Izuna looked at Uchiha Gin, whose expression was constantly changing, with a face full of nervousness, and turned to ask the boy beside him,

"Big Brother, is Cousin not going to kick the bucket, right?"

Uchiha Madara, who was asked, turned dark in the face and slapped Uchiha Izuna, who was babbling incoherently, on the head.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Didn't you hear Elder Miao say this guy is as sturdy as an ox? Passing out might be due to old injuries from his last mission."

Uchiha Miao, who had just gone out, told them that Uchiha Gin's coma was caused by a recurrence of old injuries.

The mission records of Uchiha Fenghuo and the others clearly mentioned that Uchiha Gin had once been attacked by the Senju clan, resulting in a head injury.

Outside the door, Uchiha Tajima, who had not been seen for a long time, was talking to the round Uchiha Yan. The clan leader, Uchiha Tajima, frowned and spoke coldly,

"Elder Yan, what exactly happened to Gin in the dungeon?"

Uchiha Yan was sweating profusely at this moment. He really did not know how Uchiha Gin had collapsed in the cell; he had clearly gone to visit him yesterday, and Uchiha Gin's condition had been perfectly fine at the time.

The two saw Uchiha Miao come out and simultaneously turned their gazes toward him.

"Uchiha Gin's ocular power has increased again."

Uchiha Miao said with some disbelief,

"And I detected that the seal has loosened somewhat."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other, their eyes revealing a sense of gravity.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Not to mention the seal, this pair of eyes he has now were just plucked from those corpses; there is absolutely no possibility of him awakening the Sharingan!"

Uchiha Yan said with a firm tone.

"What is the situation with the seal?"

Compared to Uchiha Yan, who was tangled up in the matter of the Sharingan, Uchiha Tajima was more concerned about the issue of the seal.

That seal had been applied by his own hand, and his eyes had only just recovered; the aftereffects left by overusing them back then were too severe.

"I can only detect that some power is in slight contact with the seal and is slowly eroding it."

Uchiha Miao shook his head expressionlessly, indicating that he was also at a loss.

"You must find out the secrets hidden in Uchiha Gin for me."

Uchiha Tajima said, narrowing his eyes.

"Is that necessary?"

Uchiha Yan, wiping his sweat, said in confusion,

"Having lost his eyes, he is no longer worth our time. Our top priority now should be to find the whereabouts of that 'weapon'."

Hearing Uchiha Yan mention the word "weapon," a trace of wariness flashed in the eyes of everyone present.

"How is the interrogation of the Sarutobi clan member in the dungeon going?"

Uchiha Tajima asked.

"There will be results soon. Liuying is handling it personally; even the Sage of Six Paths could not withstand his methods."

Uchiha Yan guaranteed to Uchiha Tajima with confidence.

"Do not disappoint me again, Elder Yan."

A trace of scarlet flashed in Uchiha Tajima's eyes. The cold gaze made Uchiha Yan feel a chill all over, and the pressure emanating from him made him feel somewhat unable to breathe.

"Elder Miao, you must also finish researching the data left behind by that person as soon as possible. Once the 'weapon' is born, it will need shackles, otherwise..."

His eyes were even colder. In his slightly narrowed eyes, there were no longer the familiar three tomoe, but a peculiar four-cornered shuriken-shaped pupil.

"The 'weapon' might backfire on its master."

The strange pattern vanished in a flash, and Uchiha Yan and Uchiha Miao did not dare to breathe a word at this moment.

"Father, Cousin Gin is awake!"

The frozen atmosphere dissipated as Uchiha Izuna pushed open the hospital room door in a rush.

"Elder Yan, Elder Miao, you two go ahead and get busy; I will go see how Gin is doing."

Uchiha Tajima, putting on a warm face, said to the two elders with a smile.

"Very well, very well."

The two elders, as if granted amnesty, left quickly.

"Izuna, let's go."

Saying this, Uchiha Tajima pushed the door open and entered, seeing Uchiha Gin getting up on the hospital bed, and was just about to ask.

Uchiha Gin, with a strange expression, spoke first, but his words were truly shocking:

"Uncle, this kid Uchiha Madara is a total gay, this is a sickness, it needs to be cured!"
