Chapter 91: The Man's Dream Technique

Uchiha Gin, who truly did not want to do any work himself, used everything he had learned in his life to bamboozle Uchiha Lucha, wanting him to take over his shift.

"But, I cannot make that kind of decision."

Uchiha Lucha, who had been spun around and dizzied by Uchiha Gin's bamboozling, did not agree immediately; although he was somewhat tempted, matters like changing posts still had to be decided by the leaders above.

"I will report this matter to Elder Yan, you just go ahead and do it!"

Uchiha Gin naturally knew what he was troubled by, so he immediately brought up Uchiha Liuying's direct superior to guarantee it.

"Then I..."

Uchiha Lucha was still hesitating, frantically weighing the feasibility of this matter in his mind.

"What are you hesitating for? This is for you!"

Without allowing for any argument, Uchiha Gin shoved the file in his hand into Lucha's, gave him a "keep it up, I believe in you" look, and greased his heels to slip away.

"You get busy first, I'm going to the dungeon to investigate a prisoner."

There was no reason not to use free labor delivered to his doorstep; Uchiha Gin shook off the burden, feeling light as a feather, and happily strode toward the entrance of Dungeon No. 2 with a gait that didn't recognize any of his kin.

The ones on duty today were still Uchiha Lucha and Uchiha Tiedan, who had failed to switch shifts; because Uchiha Lucha had been dragged away by Uchiha Gin to serve as free labor, only Uchiha Tiedan was left guarding the prison gate alone.

"That kid Lucha said he was going to the bathroom, why hasn't he come back after so long? He didn't fall in, did he?"

Thinking of Uchiha Lucha, who had been gone for a long time, Uchiha Tiedan, who had been bored to death guarding the place for half a day, muttered to himself.

"Brother Tiedan, right? Let me in to take a look."

A strange voice rang out in his ear; Uchiha Tiedan, who had been daydreaming, gave a start and hurriedly looked up at the person who had arrived.

"Uchiha... Gin!"

What met his eyes was his nightmare of the past few days, the man named Uchiha Gin.

"Is there a problem?"

Seeing the clansman before him startled, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

"No problem at all, please, come in."

Uchiha Tiedan, as if waking from a dream, nimbly opened the dungeon gate and respectfully invited him in.

"I'm looking for this prisoner, help me lead the way."

Just before leaving earlier, Uchiha Gin had casually grabbed a file for a prisoner in Dungeon No. 2 without even looking at it, and now he handed it directly to Uchiha Tiedan, asking him to help lead the way.

"Uh, this prisoner... alright, please follow me."

Uchiha Tiedan glanced at the prisoner's name and nodded in reply.

"Brother Lucha will be helping out in the archives for a while; I will report to Lord Liuying to have a new teammate assigned to you."

Uchiha Gin, following behind Uchiha Tiedan, spoke up.

Hearing this, Uchiha Tiedan's heart tightened, and a sudden wave of sorrow washed over him; could his good brother have already met such a tragic fate? It was all his own fault for dragging him into this.

Uchiha Tiedan, lost in his own wild imagination, led Uchiha Gin to the door of a cell and pointed inside to indicate this was the one.

"Hehehe, are you here to torture this old man again? You Uchiha brat, use whatever tricks you have; if I, Soichiro Yamanaka, so much as frown, I'm no hero!"

A middle-aged man with brownish-yellow hair was locked in the cell; his hands were tied behind his back, and his indigo eyes glared at them fiercely, as if he wanted to eat their flesh raw.

"There's a fly on your forehead."

Uchiha Gin stared at him and suddenly said something nonsensical.

"Huh?"

Hearing these unrelated words, Soichiro Yamanaka subconsciously twitched his eyebrows.

"Oh my, look, he frowned, didn't he?"

Having achieved his goal, Uchiha Gin pointed at him and shouted loudly.

"…………"

An awkward atmosphere instantly filled the entire space.

Not only was the person involved, Soichiro Yamanaka, silent, but Uchiha Tiedan, who was standing to the side, also seemed to have been struck dumb; he stared straight at his own feet on the ground, as if counting how many toes he had.

"Ahem, Lord Gin, you go ahead and interrogate him yourself; there's no one on duty at the gate now, I'll head back first."

Unable to continue this awkward topic, Uchiha Tiedan used it as an excuse to leave first.

"How boring, people these days don't have a single cell of humor."

Shaking his head, Uchiha Gin said, disappointed that they didn't live up to his expectations.

"You brat, are you mocking this old man?"

Soichiro Yamanaka, having just reacted, asked through gritted teeth.

"Just a joke, at your age, do you not even have the most basic sense of tolerance?"

Uchiha Gin flipped through the materials in his hand and said in a relaxed tone.

Soichiro Yamanaka: Skilled in mental secret arts; captured at the same time as Ichino Yamanaka and others.

"I hear the secret arts of your Yamanaka clan are quite impressive."

Uchiha Gin walked meaningfully to the side of the restrained Soichiro Yamanaka, looked at his hands tied behind his back, and said thoughtfully,

"But, aren't they still countered by the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan?"

"Hmph! If it weren't for you people bullying us with numbers, how could we have fallen into your hands? If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one!"

Soichiro Yamanaka was burning with rage and struggled as he argued.

"Alright!"

Uchiha Gin stroked his chin, nodded, and said earnestly.

"Huh?"

Soichiro Yamanaka, whose hands had suddenly regained their freedom, didn't react in time and froze on the spot.

"No way, no way, you were shouting so fiercely, but you're actually a soft-legged shrimp?"

Finding that the system still hadn't reacted, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.

"Detected that the host has encountered a battle, Heartsteel treasure chest accumulation has begun..."

The corners of his mouth curled up; sure enough, the provocation tactic was useful.

"You detestable Uchiha brat, to thank you for releasing me, I will let you die peacefully."

Realizing the restraints on his body had vanished, Soichiro Yamanaka stood up, grinned hideously, raised his hands, and made a strange gesture.

Seeing this posture, Uchiha Gin, who was well-versed in the plot of Naruto, recognized this signature move of the Yamanaka clan at a glance.

The secret arts of the Yamanaka clan are all Yin-style chakra ninjutsu targeting the mind, specializing in mental-level attacks, reading memories, and controlling the enemy's consciousness.

【Ninja Art: Mind Transfer Jutsu】

Soichiro Yamanaka raised his hands and unleashed the signature ninjutsu of the Yamanaka clan.

The Mind Transfer Jutsu is a ninjutsu where the Yamanaka clan releases their own spirit to occupy the enemy's body for a short time and move freely.

A man's dream technique!

As Soichiro Yamanaka's mental energy struck from across the air, Uchiha Gin subconsciously activated his Sharingan.

Whether it was the ability of the Sharingan or not, he could vaguely see a stream of Yin-style chakra wrapped in mental energy charging straight at his forehead.

Uchiha Gin, still thinking about whether he should pretend to slip and fall to farm some stacks, dodged the opponent's charged strike by moving to the side.

"Heh, you think you can dodge it so easily?"

Not surprised by Uchiha Gin's dodging movement, Soichiro Yamanaka twisted his hands, and that stream of mental energy actually turned a corner.

In horror, Uchiha Gin, having no time to dodge, could only watch helplessly as Soichiro Yamanaka's mental energy broke into his consciousness.

Logically speaking, the Yamanaka clan's Mind Transfer Jutsu could only attack in a straight line, but he hadn't expected that this guy Soichiro Yamanaka, after years of hard practice, could actually change the attack path of the Mind Transfer Jutsu; it was truly terrifying.

Uchiha Gin now found that he could no longer control his body to perform any actions; a stream of mental energy suddenly rushed into his mind, making him feel a wave of dizziness, as if he had been on a roller coaster for three days and three nights, making him want to vomit.

"Hehehe, you foolish Uchiha brat, you didn't expect my secret art could turn corners, did you!"

A strange voice came from Uchiha Gin's mouth, the tone of speech completely different from before.

Soichiro Yamanaka's entire person seemed to have lost consciousness, and his body slumped limply to the side.

"Let this old man let you end without pain!"

Soichiro Yamanaka grinned hideously as he controlled Uchiha Gin's body, pulled a kunai from the ninja tool pouch, and tremblingly stabbed it toward his own neck.
