Chapter 69: First experience as a real estate tycoon

"You've been eating fish for several days in a row, won't you get tired of it?"

Uchiha Gin stared at Senju Itama, who was devouring rice with fish, and couldn't help but ask. This kid wasn't old but ate a lot. The rice at home was eaten up in two days.

Senju Itama, who was burying his head in eating, paused upon hearing this, raised his round, bulging head, and showed a look of thought.

"Is there any food better than fish?"

The fish-eating brat issued a soul-searching question.

Uh...

The brat's look of disbelief left Uchiha Gin speechless. It turned out the brat hadn't eaten anything good.

"Is your Senju clan very poor?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Senju Itama, feeling offended, bared his teeth and said.

"There are so many delicacies in the world, why do you only like eating fish?"

Knowing it wasn't due to the limitations of conditions, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I just like eating it, is that not allowed?"

Senju Itama, not wanting to explain more, continued to bury his head in eating. Uchiha Gin felt bored and didn't pursue the question.

Senju Itama, who had his head buried in the rice, was already teary-eyed, devouring the fish meat. But what appeared in his mind was the beautiful time when he and his brothers went to the river to catch fish.

His three older brothers often took him, who was young, to the river to catch fish, especially his second brother, who loved eating fish. Every time they caught one, he would grill it on the spot, and the brothers would eat until they were full. But such times were probably gone forever.

As Senju Itama's emotions collapsed, his body also trembled with sobs. Uchiha Gin was a bit confused.

It wasn't until the brat in front of him suddenly started retching that he jumped up in fright, rushed over to pull him up, used his hand to pry open Senju Itama's little mouth, and complained:

"I told you to eat slowly. Look, you got a fish bone stuck in your throat!"

Saying that, he poked his finger straight into Senju Itama's throat. The brat, who couldn't speak from being stuffed, rolled his eyes, and only one thought remained in his mind:

"This guy must have some big illness!"

Uchiha Gin, who had poked for a long time and only poked out a handful of saliva, frowned.

"Did he already swallow it? What should I do?"

His eyes drifted to the vinegar used for seasoning on the table. Remembering the old method from his previous life, he immediately grabbed the vinegar pot, unscrewed it, and poured it into the retching Senju Itama's mouth.

"Woooooo~~~"

Senju Itama waved his hands powerlessly, but his strength was not as good as Uchiha Gin's, so he was forcibly poured a whole pot of vinegar.

"Phew, this should be no problem."

Uchiha Gin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the brat, who was dizzy but didn't forget to wave his thanks:

"No need to thank me, this is what I should do."

"I really will thank you..."

Before fainting, Senju Itama shouted this sentence almost like a roar.

"What a polite brat."

Uchiha Gin couldn't help but nod in appreciation.

Afterward, he threw the unconscious Senju Itama into the bedroom. Uchiha Gin stared at the cramped room for a while, clapped his hands, and decided to expand it.

It wasn't a solution to keep sleeping on the sofa like this. It would hurt his waist in the long run. He was still a young man, and he couldn't overdraft his combat power like this.

Walking out, looking at the old house where the original owner had lived for many years, he gestured with his hands on how to renovate it and drew a frame diagram in his mind. Uchiha Gin clapped his hands:

【Wood Release: Four-Pillar House】

With the infusion of chakra in his body, countless wooden branches broke through the bare ground, merged, folded, and climbed layer by layer according to the blueprint Uchiha Gin had conceived.

After a burst of smoke, a brand-new two-story small western-style building rose from the ground, close to the original owner's old house. Uchiha Gin, who had let go of his hands, looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

Pushing the gate open, the interior decoration was also presented by Wood Release. Wooden furniture was all available.

"As expected of the famous house-building technique."

Patting the sturdy furniture, Uchiha Gin was even more satisfied. Walking to one side of the wall, he specifically left a secret door here. He only needed to open a hole in the wall of the original owner's house, and the two houses could be connected.

He still needed to buy some bedding and daily necessities before he could move in with his bags. Uchiha Gin listed a page of the list, stuffed the money, and walked toward the market in the clan grounds.

It was still the familiar grocery store. The boss saw that the visitor was an old customer, Uchiha Gin, and didn't show any resistance, greeting him with a smile:

"Lord Gin, what do you need?"

"Are all the things on this here?" Uchiha Gin handed the list in his hand to the boss.

"Just some daily necessities, all in stock." The boss quickly browsed the products listed on the list and said after confirming there were no problems.

"That's good, send them to my house after they are ready."

Uchiha Gin nodded, then took out an irregular gold nugget from his bosom and handed it to the boss.

"Too much, too much!"

The boss, who took the gold nugget, weighed it and said in panic.

"It's fine, just put the extra on the account. I'll buy more things in the future."

Uchiha Gin didn't make things difficult for the boss.

"Alright, Lord Gin."

Hearing this, the boss felt relieved and accepted the gold nugget.

When he walked out of the grocery store, he ran into Uchiha Madara.

"Cousin, here to buy things?"

Uchiha Madara looked a bit burdened at this moment, and only raised his head when Uchiha Gin spoke.

"Uh... I'm here to buy some ninja tools."

Uchiha Madara's eyes were wandering, and the excuse he used was also very lame.

As the son of the clan leader, he could directly receive ninja tools from the clan's ninja tool library, and the quality was much better than what was sold outside. There was no need to buy from this kind of place at all.

"Buying a gift?"

Uchiha Gin said coldly.

"I wouldn't give it to him!!!"

Uchiha Madara, whose mind wasn't here, subconsciously argued, then realized he had said the wrong thing, and shouted with a flushed face:

"Cousin! You're not going to work and are strolling around here, I'm going to tell Father!"

"Alright, alright, I didn't see anything."

Uchiha Gin teased. The look of embarrassment in his eyes made Uchiha Madara's little face even redder.

"Hmph~"

The teenager who was teased hummed proudly and walked into the grocery store without looking back.

"Heh heh, young people are really energetic."

Uchiha Gin nodded with a smile, sighing at the teenager's green years.

Not many steps after walking out of the grocery store, Uchiha Gin found a sneaky figure in the corner and touched over without changing his expression:

"Little cousin, what are you doing?"

Placing his hand on Uchiha Izuna's shoulder, he asked in a low voice.

"Ahhh! Woo~"

Startled by the sudden Uchiha Gin, the little cousin who was concentrating on peeking at Uchiha Madara through the window of the grocery store almost peed his pants.

"Shh~ It's not good if someone hears you making such a loud noise."

Uchiha Gin covered the little cousin's mouth with sharp eyes and quick hands, so that his decibels didn't get high enough to be noticed by others.

"Uh... secret mission."

Uchiha Izuna frowned his delicate little eyebrows and said in a tangled way.

"Following your brother?" Uchiha Gin said.

"How did you know? Did Father tell you?"

Uchiha Izuna was shocked. Could it be that Father had handed this mission to someone else? Wasn't it agreed that it was his exclusive mission?

"Your intention is too obvious, no need to guess."

Uchiha Gin said speechlessly.

"It's fine, it's fine. As long as I silence you, no one will know about my mission."

Uchiha Izuna, who was out of his mind, pulled a kunai from behind and muttered with dull eyes.
