Chapter 508

"I'm eating a lemon."

Never had he expected that the cheat he had painstakingly crafted for his cousin would end up in the hands of Senju Feizhen. Uchiha Gin suppressed the raging fire in his heart, and only after a long period of mental preparation did he retract his clenched fist.

"If it weren't for the sake of our two families' relationship, I would definitely make you, this white-haired brat, drink some 'good juice' today."

"The Knight System is the village's property, and I have the right to decide its ownership."

Senju Feizhen kept a straight face, firmly asserting her sovereignty over the Knight System, though she felt quite uneasy inside.

Having personally experienced the power of the Nine-Tails Knight, she naturally understood why Uchiha Gin was so angry.

Losing the Knight System was equivalent to Uchiha Madara cutting off his own arm; his survival rate when facing enemies would be greatly reduced.

This was also why Senju Feizhen held Uchiha Madara in such high regard. To ensure the safety of Konoha's assets, he could entrust the Knight System—which was equivalent to his second life—to her; such magnanimity was truly admirable.

"Your brother, he is worthy of the name Hokage."

Looking at the sulking Uchiha Gin with a very complex gaze, Senju Feizhen uttered the words she was least likely to say in her entire life.

"Huh?"

The cousin isn't even dead yet, and you're already starting to deliver the eulogy; the Senju clan's schemes are truly, deeply wicked.

"After I transformed, I successfully defeated a clone."

Senju Feizhen continued to recount the process of the event on her own. When she mentioned that she had dealt with a clone, a look of obvious pride appeared on her face.

Uchiha Gin curled his lip upon seeing this. Anything produced by Brother Decade is a boutique; you, this white-haired brat, are purely a leech who got carried. The victory has absolutely nothing to do with you.

"But later, another strange clone appeared."

"How strange?"

It wasn't as if he hadn't crossed paths with the clones; Uchiha Gin knew exactly what those artificial humans were capable of.

However, it wasn't hard to guess from Senju Feizhen's solemn expression that this strange clone had definitely used power that did not belong to the Hashirama Wood Human.

"That clone could control the power of the Tailed Beasts and turn into a monster similar to a Tailed Beast Knight."

"!!!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Gin was shocked. Is plagiarism not illegal now? Is everyone a Kakashi?

To think that even his own Knight System had been copied; it simply meant they didn't take him, the God of Copyright War, seriously.

"Elaborate!"

Although she didn't know why Uchiha Gin was so agitated, Senju Feizhen still truthfully recounted the process of her battle with the No. 9 clone.

"To think it was that strong..."

Uchiha Gin scratched his head in disbelief that Senju Feizhen, who had transformed into the perfect Nine-Tails Knight after gaining the Nine-Tails' approval, could be suppressed by a clone transformed into an Another Knight.

Have I become the bootleg?

Of course, the strength of a Knight is somewhat related to the quality of the user, but being killed in one hit was truly hard to justify.

No, it must be that the white-haired brat is too weak!

"So, in order not to let the Nine-Tails card's power be stolen, you took the initiative to cut off the connection with the Nine-Tails, and were sucked dry by that strange seed?"

"That's right."

Senju Feizhen nodded, her face full of pride, looking as if she were asking for praise.

But Uchiha Gin wouldn't indulge her. You, this white-haired brat, aren't the little kid raised at home; it was already merciful enough that he hadn't used the knuckle-rap technique when you were acting cute just now.

"You've already told me what happened; go notify Uchiha Izuna quickly and prepare to enter a state of alert."

"Let's go, you're coming with me."

"Huh?"

Senju Feizhen, who was urging Uchiha Gin, was completely confused. Let her go together? Is she that familiar with the Konoha leadership?

"Otherwise, how am I supposed to explain the source of the intelligence to my little cousin? Your current identity is Senju Tobirama's illegitimate daughter; isn't it reasonable for him to have left a shadow clone at home?"

Turning his head to wink at Senju Feizhen, Uchiha Gin explained with a hint of awkwardness.

Even if Uchiha Gin was Uchiha Izuna's most trusted cousin, everything had to be based on evidence.

If he just said with empty words that his cousin was in danger, his little cousin would only think he hadn't sobered up from last night's drinking and give him a few days off to go home and sleep it off.

"Fine."

As everyone knows, memories are shared between shadow clones. Assuming Senju Tobirama left a shadow clone in Konoha, and his main body split off another clone while fighting the enemy, once that clone was destroyed, the main body and all other clones would receive the memory of the destroyed clone.

In that case, it would be very reasonable for the shadow clone left in Konoha to obtain intelligence from thousands of miles away.

There was no time to lose. Uchiha Gin took Senju Feizhen and rushed toward the Hokage Building. On the way, he suddenly remembered another crucial question.

"White-haired brat, since the enemy is so difficult to deal with, why didn't you use the Flying Thunder God to run away? Do you think your life is too long?"

"Do you think I didn't want to? But the space around the battlefield was sealed by an inexplicable restraint; I couldn't even release the Summoning Technique."

"Hiss!!!"

Uchiha Gin, who was running, changed his expression and slammed on the brakes. Senju Feizhen, who was following behind him, was caught off guard and slammed her head into his iron-wall-like waist, seeing stars immediately.

"Ouch! What are you doing~"

"No wonder... no wonder..."

Uchiha Gin's face turned blue and then white. No wonder the Flying Thunder God mark he left behind had no reaction; it turned out the enemy had been prepared for a long time and had specifically set up a trap targeting space-time power.

Now, his cousin might really be in grave danger.

"What are you mumbling about?"

Senju Feizhen rubbed the large bump on her head, her face full of resentment. Was this curly-haired guy raised on lead weights? How is he so hard?

"Go! Hurry! Stop dawdling; I know you secretly hid the coordinates, just fly over there directly."

Uchiha Gin, burning with anxiety, slapped the bump on Senju Feizhen's head.

"Ah!!!"

This slap was truly adding insult to injury. Senju Feizhen almost had tears streaming down, but looking at Uchiha Gin's anxious appearance, she had to temporarily record this grudge.

"Hold onto my shoulder."

Enduring the pain in her skull, Senju Feizhen closed her eyes and instantly sensed the coordinates miles away. With a flash of blue light around her, she and Uchiha Gin disappeared from the spot.

On the other side, inside the Hokage Building,

For various reasons, Uchiha Izuna, who had been promoted to Hokage Assistant, was looking at the documents in his hands with a solemn expression. The killing intent occasionally leaking from his eyes filled the entire office.

"Bam!"

Throwing the document in his hand onto the ground fiercely, his complexion became extremely foul, and he even had a tendency to turn red.

"This bunch of trash, they can't even handle such a small matter!"

Uchiha Izuna stood up angrily and walked to the window, looking at the two faces on the Hokage Rock in the distance. The anger in his heart grew even higher.

"I asked this bunch of guys to design a portrait for the Hokage Rock, and what they presented to me is just pure garbage; it can't highlight my handsome and cool appearance at all."

Looking down at the sketch that made one's eyes go black, Uchiha Izuna even had the heart to kill. This group of designers in Konoha were simply eating for free.

"Could it be that I really have to bow my head to those guys from the Land of Waves?"

Due to the magazine incident, the relationship between Uchiha Izuna and the Land of Waves' Chamber of Commerce stationed in Konoha had always been bad.

Therefore, when it came to designing his own portrait, he hadn't been able to lower his face to ask the carving experts from the Land of Waves for advice, so much so that until now, he hadn't obtained a plan that satisfied him.

"Sigh."

"Whoosh~"

Just as he sighed, a familiar blue light lit up in the office. Uchiha Izuna subconsciously leaned against the wall to cover the QR code on his waist, and his eyes subconsciously flashed with red light.

"White-haired brat, how come you returned alone... ah?"

As a long-time arch-rival, Uchiha Izuna could smell the stench on Senju Tobirama even with his eyes closed, so the moment the blue light lit up, he was the first to throw out the question.

As a result, when the figure landed, his voice was stuck directly in his throat, and his scarlet eyes were filled with massive confusion.

"No, who are you?"

"..."

Senju Feizhen, who had just wanted to use her usual tone to retort to Uchiha Izuna, subconsciously shut her mouth, adopted a cross-armed posture, and stepped aside to reveal Uchiha Gin behind her.

"Cousin?"

Uchiha Gin didn't stand on ceremony and dropped a bombshell directly.

"Little cousin, something big has happened."

Soon, under Uchiha Gin's concise narration, Uchiha Izuna stood up from the table with red eyes.

"How dare they ambush Big Brother! I'll go gather men right now!"

"As soon as possible, time waits for no one, otherwise you can only wait to collect Uchiha Madara's corpse."

Senju Feizhen said with a cold face, urging him in the unique tone of Senju Tobirama.

"Your cousin, you really didn't lie to me; this guy is simply a replica of that white-haired brat."

Suppressing the desire to act from muscle memory, Uchiha Izuna's gaze swept across Senju Feizhen's face. Looking at the familiar, identical foul face, he became even more certain of the intelligence's authenticity.

"Konoha people don't lie to Konoha people~"

Under Uchiha Izuna's mobilization, an elite squad led by the Uchiha clan was ready to go, mixed with many members of noble families. It seemed that his little cousin had no intention of hiding the severity of the situation.

"Lord Assistant, have the Hokage and the Secretary really been attacked?"

Sarutobi Sasuke, who was already over fifty, stepped forward, the worry in his eyes not appearing fake. Compared to Uchiha Madara and Senju Tobirama, he was more concerned about his son's safety.

"That's right, the intelligence has been confirmed as accurate. I'll explain the specific situation on the way; let's go now!"

Uchiha Izuna didn't have time to reveal more information and was about to set off with a wave of his hand, but he spotted the familiar curly hair mixed in the crowd, and his expression changed instantly.

"Cousin, this rescue mission is extremely dangerous; you'd better stay at home and wait for my news!"

"That's right, that's right~"

"Gin-san, it's better if you don't go."

"Gin-san, we can understand your feelings, but rest assured, we will definitely bring the Hokage back safely."

Most of the squad were familiar faces. Looking at Uchiha Gin, who had mixed into the team at some point, they all kindly advised him.

Uchiha Gin, unable to refuse their kindness, had to leave the team and became one of those seeing them off.

"Why can that white-haired brat go?"

He, feeling somewhat unwilling, pointed to the conspicuous long white hair in the team.

Do you believe I'll sue you for gender discrimination?

"I can use the Flying Thunder God."

Glancing at the impotently furious Uchiha Gin, Senju Feizhen, who had successfully joined the rescue squad, left with the main force without looking back.

"So what if you can fly? I'll... &%￥…%￥"

When the team disappeared from his field of vision, Uchiha Gin's resentful expression gradually returned to normal. He turned and found an empty alley to slip into, closed his eyes, and began to search for the coordinates he had left in the Ninja World.

Because he couldn't lock onto the Flying Thunder God marks he had left on his cousin and Mirror, Uchiha Gin had to settle for the next best thing and further expand the search range, finally successfully finding the coordinates near the area described by Senju Feizhen.

"This is it!"

"Whoosh——"

With a flash of golden light, Uchiha Gin's figure disappeared from the spot and appeared a second later in a small town thousands of miles away from Konoha.

"Daifuku, fruit daifuku, QQ neinei so delicious it makes you cry daifuku!"

After landing, Uchiha Gin just wanted to turn and head to the scene of the incident, but he was hard-controlled by the hawking sound coming to his ears.

"Boss, one strawberry and one orange each!"

Finally, Uchiha Gin, holding the daifuku, flashed out of the town. After expanding his super-strong perception, he quickly rushed toward the place with a strong fighting aura.

"Truly tragic."

Uchiha Gin, chewing the sweet strawberry daifuku, landed on the edge of the battlefield billowing with thick smoke. He looked at the scarred ground with a slight frown, and after pondering for a moment, slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, his eyes had been replaced by bewitching and complex patterns, and a cold, obscure aura leaked out instantly.

"Wangliang."

"Is this a tribute for me?"

A second later, a black hole suddenly opened in the void, and a small black-skinned hand reached out from it, very naturally taking the other orange daifuku from Uchiha Gin's hand.

"Yuck~ so sour, I like it."

Uh... isn't it only Doro who likes oranges?

"Sister Wang, it's time to get down to business."

If he appeared on the battlefield in his original form, it would be too abrupt. Since the incident was related to the Tailed Beast Knight, Uchiha Gin decided to put on Brother Decade's armor to investigate the matter.

"Hmm~"

A moment later, Wangliang's cold and lazy voice sounded in his ear. It wasn't hard to tell from her tone that she was very satisfied with the daifuku as a tribute.

"Henshin!"

Accompanied by a flash of light, Uchiha Gin successfully transformed into the alien rabbit form. He stroked the rabbit ears extending from his compound eyes and jumped into the door opened by the Realm of Shadows.

After a simple search, he first discovered Mirror, who was still unconscious, and also discovered the already stiff white-haired corpse.

Looking at the Senju Tobirama clone with a look of no regrets, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but roll his eyes and backhanded a ball of life energy at Mirror.

"Ugh... ugh..."

Under the nourishment of the rich life force, the unconscious Uchiha Mirror let out an unconscious groan. The dried-up meridians in his body were gradually filled, and his consciousness was also slowly waking up.

"Teacher... Teacher, did we win?"

Uchiha Mirror struggled to straighten his body. His memory was still stuck at the moment the Great Buddha fell, so he hurriedly looked around for Senju Tobirama's figure.

"I don't know if you won, but your teacher seems to be a bit dead." (End of chapter)
