Chapter 65: Lying down and eating the steel

At this moment, in Uchiha Gin's sea of consciousness, Yamanaka Soichiro locked his consciousness into a small dark room. Uchiha Gin's entire consciousness was occupied by his mental body. Yamanaka Soichiro, laughing wildly, looked at the sea of consciousness he had occupied.

Everything here was the same as everyone else he had invaded. Uchiha Gin's sea of consciousness was also a void. Yamanaka Soichiro, not caring at all, was preparing to manipulate Uchiha Gin's body to commit suicide.

Suddenly, he discovered something flickering in Uchiha Gin's sea of consciousness. Yamanaka Soichiro, who had never seen such a situation, pushed aside a cloud of mist there, driven by his curiosity.

A strange gate slowly appeared before his eyes. The gate was pitch black and tightly locked by a large lock.

Yamanaka Soichiro walked up and examined the large lock. The lock was bronze-colored, but there was no keyhole. There was a windmill pattern on the surface of the lock, faintly emitting a red micro-light, carrying a trace of strange attraction.

Encountering this situation for the first time, Yamanaka Soichiro, who was quite old but had no lack of curiosity, upheld the spirit of scientific research, temporarily delayed Uchiha Gin's suicide plan, and began to study the lock in front of him.

When his palm touched the lock, there was no coldness as he had imagined; instead, a scorching heat came. Touching the pattern on the lock, Yamanaka Soichiro was surprised to find that there were several fine cracks on the lock face.

As a member of the Yamanaka clan who specialized in mental secret techniques, he could clearly perceive that someone had placed a seal in this Uchiha's mind.

"What secret is hidden in this seal?"

Yamanaka Soichiro couldn't help but use his mental power to spy on the large lock with cracks in his hand.

The moment his mental power touched the lock, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared out of thin air in front of him, and a powerful force came from the pattern on the large lock, sending him flying.

The backlash of mental power was instantly fed back to his main body. Yamanaka Soichiro, who had originally occupied the magpie's nest, was shaken by this blow and had to choose to flee Uchiha Gin's sea of consciousness.

In reality, the kunai controlled by Yamanaka Soichiro paused just before it was about to pierce his throat. After a brief struggle, the hand holding the kunai dropped powerlessly.

Beside him, Yamanaka Soichiro's main body, which had originally fainted, shuddered, and his wide eyes were full of shock.

"What on earth is in your brain?"

"Huh?"

Uchiha Gin, who had suddenly regained consciousness, looked at Yamanaka Soichiro, who was clutching his chest and panting, with a face full of confusion.

Uchiha Gin, who had just eaten a Mind Transfer Jutsu, felt his eyes go dark and discovered that his consciousness could not control his body. His mental body was locked in a dark corner of his sea of consciousness by Yamanaka Soichiro, who had turned into a god of war.

He was considering whether to use the Tsukuyomi Experience Card to give Yamanaka Soichiro's mental body a big one. If he let his mental body face the Mangekyou genjutsu directly, the effect wouldn't just be doubled; it would be ten times over.

Uchiha Gin's consciousness could observe the movements of his body. Just a moment before Yamanaka Soichiro controlled his body to take the kunai and was about to stab it into his throat, Uchiha Gin took out the Tsukuyomi Experience Card produced by the system.

Just as he was about to use it, he saw Yamanaka Soichiro stop the movements of his hand and walk into the depths of the void of his sea of consciousness.

After only a few breaths, Uchiha Gin, who was holding the Tsukuyomi Experience Card and watching the changes, saw Yamanaka Soichiro, who had been very inflated just now, being thrown out, hitting the ground heavily, and then bouncing away.

"No way, no way. Is it over already? You old guy, are you weak? How come you wilted halfway through controlling me?"

Uchiha Gin, who had regained his freedom, was still stable in his output. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was an old yin-yang person.

"Uchiha brat, don't be rampant. I haven't used my full strength yet. Wait for my next move, and I'll definitely grind you to dust!"

Yamanaka Soichiro was injured by the backlash, but after all, he was a veteran secret technique master and could minimize the harm of the backlash in a short time.

"As expected of a senior of the Yamanaka clan, very spirited! I, Uchiha Gin, am willing to call you the strongest in mind-control ninjutsu! This junior bows down."

Uchiha Gin, whose tone changed, gave a thumbs up with a face full of admiration.

"???"

Yamanaka Soichiro had originally thought about what kind of outrageous vulgar language the Uchiha brat in front of him would say. Unexpectedly, the other party's attitude took a 180-degree turn. The strong contrast made Yamanaka Soichiro unable to catch his breath, and he fainted from anxiety.

"Host failed, obtained Heart Energy *10, Heartsteel chest reward can be unlocked after three more battles. (Current cumulative Heart Energy: 10)"

The beautiful system notification sounded. Uchiha Gin nodded with satisfaction, went over to tie up the unconscious Yamanaka Soichiro again, and hummed a happy tune as he closed the cell door.

"Today is a good day to eat steel~"

He greeted Uchiha Tiedan, who was on guard, and Uchiha Gin, having finished his Heartsteel daily routine, had no heart to continue lingering here.

He prepared to skip work like yesterday, but unexpectedly, he met someone who surprised him on the way.

"Elder Miao, good morning."

Seeing a familiar withered figure from afar, Uchiha Miao, with a face full of indifference, had actually come to the dungeon. He didn't know what for.

Since he had run into him, it wouldn't be right not to greet him, so Uchiha Gin took the initiative to step forward and say respectfully:

"Uchiha Gin?"

Uchiha Miao was also surprised to run into Uchiha Gin here. "What are you doing here?"

Uchiha Gin briefly told him the ins and outs of his transfer to the dungeon to organize files. After listening, Uchiha Miao thought for a while and said:

"This errand is indeed suitable for you, avoiding going out to do missions and not having to contact clansmen."

He had also heard a little about Uchiha Gin's notoriety. Even he had a trace of disgust for the Uchiha in front of him who looked harmless to humans and animals, but he was deep in the city and didn't easily show it.

"Your eyes, don't you feel any discomfort?"

Suddenly thinking of something, Uchiha Miao stared at the other party's eyes and asked.

"No, I've awakened the Sharingan, my vision is super great!"

Uchiha Gin boasted to him.

"Sharingan, huh? If you have time, come to the laboratory and I'll check it for you."

Dropping this sentence, Uchiha Miao walked toward the depths of the dungeon without looking back.

Uchiha Gin was a bit confused. He had learned from Uchiha Yao that the pair of eyes he had now weren't original, and the person who performed the surgery was likely the Uchiha Miao just now.

He should know the situation of his eyes like the back of his hand, so why did he show curiosity about his eyes?

Uchiha Gin, whose mind was wandering, left the dungeon. Uchiha Miao, who was watching him disappear at the dungeon gate from not far away, revealed his figure from the darkness:

"I clearly instructed Yan to take a pair of ordinary people's eyes, why did he still awaken the Sharingan?"

Uchiha Miao, full of doubts, prepared to find Uchiha Yan, the provider of the eyeballs at the time, to ask clearly.

"I wonder if that brat Senju Itama is awake yet. I'll go back and give him the gift later, it should make him feel better."

Senju Itama's life was tightly connected to his. Uchiha Gin couldn't feel at ease for a day until he sent him back to the Senju clan grounds. Cooking for him was because he was afraid the brat would starve to death from a hunger strike, and he prepared a gift because he was afraid he would commit suicide from depression.

"I really am a Uchiha philanthropist!"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Gin nodded with extreme self-approval.

"Cousin! What are you doing strolling around here instead of going to work?"
