Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

Chapter 944 What was the purpose of my transmigration? Wasn't it to show off in front of others

Uchiha clan.

Upon receiving the last-minute notice, Uchiha clan members flocked towards the Nakagawa Shrine.

Unlike regular meetings, this one included not only young children still studying at the Ninja Academy, but also elderly people who should be enjoying their retirement.

"This is the first time I've ever attended a clan gathering like this in my entire life. Grandma, what's going on?"

Adjusting his ill-fitting indigo clan robes, Obito cautiously followed behind his grandmother, glancing around at the many clansmen in similar situations with him, his expression filled with confusion.

Obito's grandmother was also a ninja in her youth, but due to her overly gentle nature, she gave up her ninja career after marriage and chose to become a virtuous wife and loving mother.

"Grandma, this is my first time too. I never thought that in my lifetime I would be qualified to participate in a clan gathering."

The elderly woman with gray hair carefully straightened her faded traditional clothing, gently shook her head, and a hint of emotion filled her cloudy eyes.

It's important to know that not just anyone can attend the Uchiha clan's gatherings. Generally speaking, clan members must be at least Chunin level to even step into the gathering hall of the Nakagawa Shrine.

"Hey~ isn't this Obi-tou? I haven't seen you for a day, how come you've got the new outfit?"

Just as Obito was nervously queuing up to undergo the pre-meeting inspection, a nonchalant figure appeared behind him without his noticing, a warm and strong hand covering his head and roughly rubbing it.

"Huh? Uncle!"

Startled by the sudden attack, Obito looked up and, upon seeing that the attacker was none other than his recently reunited uncle, the Uchiha, his tense face immediately lit up with joy.

"Obito, don't call me that, it's very rude."

Grandma Obito stared in astonishment at the strange, curly-haired stranger who was angrily rubbing her grandson's head.

What uncle? She's lived for so many years, how come she didn't know that Obito had such an uncle?

"I'm sorry, sir, you must be embarrassed to admit this child isn't very bright."

Grandma Obito's gaze lingered for a moment on the exquisite tribal clothing worn by the newcomer. She quickly grabbed her grandson, who was indiscriminately trying to claim kinship, and cautiously explained to the unfamiliar tribal member before her,

"Grandma, don't pull my ear! He really is my uncle whom I've never met before!"

Obito, wincing in pain, grinned and retorted to his grandmother, who had been so unreasonable.

"You are."

Uchiha Gin, a smile playing on his lips, scrutinized the old man who had manipulated the future public enemy of the ninja world. In the old man's face, weathered by time yet still retaining a hint of his former youthful brilliance, he even saw traces of an old friend.

"Mieko?"

After much hesitation, Uchiha Gin tentatively spoke up to confirm.

"Uh?"

Upon hearing the other person call his name, the old man, who was scolding his grandson, suddenly stopped and looked at Uchiha Gin with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Even now, few of the elders in the clan remember her given name. How could this young man know her?

"I never expected it to be such a coincidence."

Uchiha Gin was filled with mixed emotions; he hadn't expected Mieko from this timeline to be so formidable.

"who are you?"

Mieko quickly shielded her grandson behind her, warily eyeing the familiar-looking Uchiha Gin.

"Don't you remember me? I used to buy fruit from your shop all the time."

Buying fruit?

With those words, memories long buried in Uchiha Mieko's heart surged back.

At that time, Konoha had not yet been established, and her family lived in the Uchiha clan's territory. As a young girl, in her spare time from training, she often helped sell fruit at the family's fruit shop.

"Impossible, our family's fruit shop went out of business more than forty years ago."

Recalling the day she moved from her clan's territory to Konoha, Uchiha Mieko shook her head in disbelief. She remembered clearly that she was the one who closed the fruit shop door herself.

"You really forgot? You were only this big back then."

Faced with Mieko's questioning, Uchiha Gin shook his head with a sigh, raised his hand to gesture the height of a mature woman, and spoke nonsense with a straight face.

Obito: "."

I feel like I've heard this phrase several times before.

"Lord Yin! What are you still doing here?"

Just as Uchiha Gin was about to continue chatting with his acquaintances, Uchiha Hikaru, dressed in luxurious clothes, approached from afar with Fugaku and a gentle, black-haired woman.

"The clan meeting is about to begin."

"Let's chat for a bit when we run into someone we know."

Gin Uchiha glanced at the black-haired woman beside Fugaku Uchiha, whose belly was slightly protruding, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Mikoto, this fine cabbage, was ultimately snatched away by that brat Fugaku.

"Uchiha Mikoto greets Lord Gin."

Sensing Uchiha Gin's gaze, the black-haired woman gracefully bowed to him.

"Give me one."

Gin Uchiha accepted it without hesitation, casually pulling a green lollipop from his bag and handing it over.

"Uh, thank you, Master Yin."

Confused by Gin's action, Mikoto instinctively took the lollipop. Upon discovering it was her favorite green apple flavor, her curiosity about the person in front of her intensified.

"Obi-boo, see you later."

Gin waved to Obito behind his grandmother, and led by the Fire Core, entered the clan hall through another entrance.

"Goodbye, Uncle! Grandma? Grandma?"

Reluctantly lowering his waving little hand, Obito looked at his grandmother, whose brows were furrowed in confusion.

"Uchiha Gin?"

"Yes, my uncle's name is Uchiha Gin."

Hearing his grandmother's murmurs, Obito immediately nodded vigorously.

"Lord Yin? Impossible, Lord Yin should have already sacrificed himself."

After comparing the departed Uchiha Gin with the figure deep in her memory, Uchiha Mieko's eyes widened in astonishment.

She even presented a fruit platter at Lord Yin's funeral, which was the most extravagant funeral she had ever seen in her life, a funeral that lasted for seven days and seven nights.

"Grandma~ Grandma~ It's our turn to go in!"

Obito, who was standing to the side, had no idea what his grandmother was shocked about. When he saw that the line to enter was almost up to him, he quickly pulled his grandmother forward to check her identity.

Inside the clan hall,

The meeting was not scheduled to begin, the doors were tightly closed, and the hall was empty.

Fire Core and the others, who had arrived early, led Uchiha Gin to the elevated platform area reserved for clan leaders.

Below, the elders, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at the curly-haired youth, some with curiosity, some with complicated feelings, and some with sinister intent, as the Grand Elder humbly welcomed him in.

"Lord Yin, this is your seat."

After giving the head seat of the clan meeting to Uchiha Gin, Uchiha Kano sat down beside him with a smile and introduced him to the group of elders sitting in a row below. "Husband, just who is this Lord Gin?"

Kneeling behind the two, Uchiha Mikoto thoughtfully fiddled with the green apple-flavored lollipop in her hand, and whispered to her husband, who was sitting upright beside her, "..."

"He is Madara's cousin, and now the most senior member of the Uchiha clan. Mikoto, you must not neglect him in the future."

Fugaku Uchiha had privately learned about Gin Uchiha's past achievements from the Grand Elder, and his doubts had long since vanished, leaving only undisguised admiration in his eyes.

The Uchiha clan is saved – an elder who can chat and laugh with the First Hokage!

"But he doesn't look old at all!"

Mikoto clicked her big, beautiful eyes in confusion. Taking advantage of her husband's attention being drawn to Uchiha Gin, she secretly tore open the lollipop wrapper and swallowed it in one gulp.

The delicious sweet and sour flavor exploded in her mouth like a lit detonator, making this expectant mother, who had been avoiding sugar for a long time due to her pregnancy, squint her eyes in bliss.

Oh, I see~!

Green apples are the best!

"Lord Yin has cultivated the Yin Sealing Technique, which allows him to maintain this youthful appearance."

"Lady Tsunade's Yin Seal?"

"To be precise, it's Lady Mito."

"Huh? Lord Gin has a relationship with Lord Mito?"

Upon hearing this news, a burning passion for gossip ignited within Uchiha Mikoto.

Who is Mito Uzumaki?

That was the First Hokage's wife, a woman who once stood at the highest point in Konoha.

"Shh~ Keep your voice down. How can you talk about this kind of thing in public?"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku immediately made a shushing gesture to his wife and replied in a deliberately low voice,

"Hmph! If you won't tell me, I'll ask Kushina."

From her husband, Mikoto Uchiha learned that her best friend was also at the scene where Gin Uchiha's identity was exposed. Since her husband was making excuses, she went to her best friend to gossip.

"Lord Gin, although the Uchiha clan is not what it used to be, they are not someone that anyone can mess with in this village."

On the other side, after introducing his ragtag group of elders, Huo He's old face revealed a hint of arrogance.

Hearing this, the elders in the first row of the audience puffed out their chests with pride. However, Uchiha Gin's words completely enraged these pampered and useless elders.

"These days, anyone can become an elder, no matter how rotten they are."

Back when my uncle was in power, we had the brilliant scientist Uchiha Miao, the hot-tempered older brother Uchiha Yan, and the overpowered Uchiha Yao locked up in jail. Any one of them could easily crush this bunch of noobs in every way.

Pushing it a step further, even Uchiha Setsuna, whom even Uchiha Gin somewhat looked down upon, could easily crush this group of trash.

"you!"

An elder, whose physique was comparable to Ryoko's, stood up abruptly, his eyes instantly turning red with a deep gloom.

He was a big shot, second only to a few people but above hundreds, yet he was being insulted to his face by some greenhorn.

Even if Uchiha Gin is some legendary figure, he still wants to deflate his arrogance.

"Stop your insolence!"

Seeing the tomoe in the elder's eyes begin to slowly rotate, Uchiha Kaku immediately shouted a cold rebuke, his face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

Seeing this, none of the other elders spoke up to stop it; they all lowered their heads, looking like they were waiting to see a good show.

"Fire Core, don't get agitated."

Uchiha Gin raised his hand and pressed down on Uchiha Hikaru, who was about to get up, and looked at the elder who had suddenly appeared before him with an innocent expression.

At least 200 jin (100 kg).

Is the food in the clan really that good?

Could this old guy be a hybrid with Akimichi? Should we ask him first?

"Whose child are you?"

The elder, who was gathering his eye power, was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this, and the blazing aura around him suddenly froze.

He never imagined that at his age, he would still be called a child.

"What do you ask for this?"

"Answer whatever Lord Yin asks you."

Glancing at the displeased Uchiha Kakuzu, the elder curled his lip and answered truthfully.

"My father is Uchiha Feng Huo, who is known as the Hermit."

Upon hearing that familiar name, Uchiha Gin's lifeless eyes suddenly gleamed with an unusual light.

"Huh? Brother Feng Huo is at least as handsome as me, how come he gave birth to such an ugly thing like you?"

After carefully examining the pot-bellied, pig-headed elder, Uchiha Gin shook his head in disbelief.

"How dare you insult my father! I don't care who you are, just wait to bear the wrath of Uchiha Ryukin!"

"Pfft~"

Keep money?

Why don't you call it "Legacy Gold"?

Feng Huo's naming skills aren't very good, are they?

"Damn it, did you just laugh?"

Hearing the sudden sneer, Uchiha Ryukin, burning with rage, his eyes blazing with fury. What he hated most in his life was being mocked for his physique and name.

Uchiha Gin stepped on two major landmines at once, and he was determined to make the other party pay the price.

"No, I've received professional training, unless... hahaha~~~"

Seeing Uchiha Ryukin's "red warmth," Uchiha Gin, who was trying to hold back, finally broke down and clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he almost passed out.

"Sushi bar!"

Enraged beyond measure, Uchiha Ryukin went completely berserk. Ignoring the presence of Uchiha Higanbana, his beady eyes blazed with intense ocular power as he lashed out at Uchiha Gin.

"Ah! Be careful!"

Seeing this, Mikoto, sitting in the back row, covered her mouth and looked at Uchiha Gin, who was giving her candy, with worried eyes.

Uchiha Ryukin was a veteran Jonin of the clan, with unfathomable strength. This mental attack filled with hatred would leave an ordinary Jonin bedridden for ten days to half a month.

"Oh~ so he traded his looks for ability."

Looking at the furious Uchiha Ryukin with some surprise, Uchiha Gin nodded as if he suddenly realized something. No wonder this kid looks so ugly; he's sacrificed his good looks.

There were no fancy eye techniques or grand contests of eye power; facing Uchiha Ryukin's charged attack, Uchiha Gin didn't even lift an eyelid.

"break."

With just a single soft word, the overwhelming power of the eyes that had enveloped everyone disintegrated instantly, like a deflated balloon.

"puff!"

Uchiha Ryukin, suffering a backlash from the power of his eyes, turned pale and coughed up a mouthful of blood with an excessive fat content. His sinister crimson eyes instantly returned to black.

"Elder Liu Jin!"

The elders who had been watching the commotion were stunned. After a long pause, they finally stepped forward and, with all their might, helped Uchiha Ryukin, who had collapsed to the ground, to his feet.

"Hiss."

One of the medical ninjutsu practitioners stepped forward to examine him and couldn't help but gasp. Uchiha Ryukin's chakra had been almost entirely devoured by a domineering ocular power.

If the owner of the eye power hadn't held back, Uchiha Ryukin, who weighed over 200 pounds, would have died on the spot.

"I'm only letting you off the hook because of your father."

Just then, Uchiha Gin, who was sitting above, slowly raised his head. A terrifying crimson glint flashed in his dead fish eyes, striking the hearts of the elders who harbored ulterior motives like a heavy hammer.

"Anyone else who's dissatisfied, go ahead and report my father first. Let's see how much influence we have." (End of Chapter)
