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

"To three!"

A pair of delicate white hands held high the last two cards, then slammed them onto the table. A clear, childlike voice echoed in the room filled with the scent of medicine.
"I can't afford it."

Looking at the pair of scoundrels slapped in front of him, Masahiko Uzumaki, his face ashen, lowered his head, and the same pair of scoundrels slipped from his hands and fell to the ground.

Sitting before him now was no longer the middle-aged, beautiful doctor, but a little girl, not even ten years old, with a face full of innocence and playfulness.
This was his fourth gamble. After losing to the elderly, middle-aged, and young female doctors in succession, his Elo system was finally triggered, successfully matching him with the young female doctor in front of him.

He thought he could finally shake off his bad luck and win the bet that would determine his son's life or death, but reality is often cruel. In the end, he narrowly lost the competition to determine the most famous person.
He lost.
A crushing defeat.
His wife was weeping behind him, her face buried in her hands, and the fate of his young child in his arms was unknown. Dazed and confused, he raised his head and spoke in an almost pleading voice...
Do you have a daughter?

"what?"

The girl, who was immersed in the joy of victory she had never experienced before, paused slightly upon hearing such a bizarre question. Her wide grin, which stretched to her ears, gradually faltered, and her expression began to turn strange.
Does she look like she has a daughter right now?
"I'm sorry, I offended you."

Noticing his daughter's strange gaze, Masahiko Uzumaki quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry to have troubled your mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother."

He didn't show any disrespect to the girl because of her age. After thanking them one by one, his face dejected, he glanced at his wife wiping away tears, sighed, and turned away.

"Hey! Don't go! I haven't won enough yet!"

The little girl, witnessing this, panicked. She had never won so exhilaratingly at a gambling table before; otherwise, she wouldn't have switched identities four times to experience the thrill of victory.

"But aren't these rules inflexible?"

Masahiko Uzumaki stopped, his eyes filled with sorrow. He knew this kind little girl wanted to help him, but the previous miracle doctor had made it very clear that their rules for treatment were inviolable.
"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. How about this, you gamble with me a few more rounds, and I'll beg my great-grandmother to make an exception and help me out."

The little girl shook her head confidently. She hadn't expected to win so easily. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have set that ridiculous rule.

She's having such good luck today! After she finishes her treatment, she's definitely going to the town's casino to dominate!

"Thank you so much, little miracle doctor!"

Realizing the girl was giving him a way out, Masahiko Uzumaki's face lit up. He quickly sat back down, loosened his stiff fingers, and the card game resumed.

"Hehe~"

A thrilling gambling game ended with the little girl's overwhelming victory. Having won countless rounds, she grinned mischievously as she tidied up the various gambling paraphernalia on the table.
"Wait a moment, I'll go and fetch Grandma."

After stuffing the last deck of cards into the drawer, the little girl greeted everyone and gracefully rose, her small figure disappearing into the inner room through the doorway.
“Tattoo.”

A few seconds later, the goddess doctor walked out with heavy steps, a faint smile on her aged face, which relieved the anxious Masahiko Uzumaki.
"There's really no other way. Since my granddaughter has begged me, I'll make an exception this time."

Slowly sitting down at the table, the elderly female physician gently shook her head and gestured for him to sit down.

"Let the patient come in."

"Myoko, hurry!"

Masahiko Uzumaki quickly called his wife forward and showed the babbling red-haired baby in his arms to the goddess doctor.

"Miracle doctor, please save my son!"

Looking at the wide-eyed, energetic baby, the female doctor frowned slightly. Judging from the baby's complexion alone, the baby was almost too healthy and didn't seem sick at all.
What are the specific symptoms?

"He has a fever, and he won't eat or sleep."

How long has this been going on?

"One week."

A week?
A hint of surprise flashed in the doctor's aged eyes. Even a healthy adult couldn't maintain this state for a whole week.
Filled with curiosity, she stretched out her withered right hand and gently placed it on the baby's forehead. It was indeed as hot as Masahiko Uzumaki had described.
She attempted to send a wisp of chakra for examination into the infant's delicate meridians. As the chakra penetrated deeper, the goddess doctor's expression gradually became serious.
Upon witnessing this scene, Masahiko and his wife were immediately filled with anxiety. Could it be that their son really had some incurable disease?
"Strange, so strange."

The divine physician frowned and uttered two strange words in a row. She discovered that besides being excessively healthy, the infant before her also possessed life energy that was not appropriate for his age.
Could it be due to bloodline?

She glanced up at the worried-looking Masahiko and his wife, her scrutinizing gaze sweeping over their bright red hair.

The Uzumaki clan is indeed known for its incredible vitality, possessing an innate life force far exceeding that of ordinary people.

"Miracle doctor, what illness does my eldest son have?"

Masahiko Uzumaki looked at the goddess doctor with a nervous expression.
"Based on my initial diagnosis, this child is likely overnourished."

The young body couldn't contain the immense life force, causing Nagato's body to experience a sustained high temperature. This was the body actively releasing excess life energy through metabolism.
The reason they don't eat or sleep is because their life energy is too abundant.
"what?"

The couple was stunned. They had spent the entire week seeking medical help throughout Amegakure, but hadn't received a definitive diagnosis. Many doctors had even told them to go home and prepare for their funeral after only a few glances.
After several attempts, they all concluded that their son had some incurable disease.
Now they're told that all their previous symptoms were due to overnutrition—such a huge discrepancy—how can the couple possibly believe it?
"Miracle doctor, why don't you take another look?"

"No need to look, it's just overnutrition."

The female doctor frowned slightly. How dare they question her medical skills? If it weren't for the fact that they had let her win decisively, she would have kicked them both out long ago.
“Zhengyan, how about we try someone else? This miracle doctor doesn’t seem as reliable as the legends say.”

Seeing this, Taeko, who was standing beside Masahiko Uzumaki, secretly tugged at her husband's sleeve and whispered something in his ear.
It wasn't that she didn't trust the divine doctor, but this diagnosis was indeed too unbelievable. If the conclusion of overnutrition was true, wouldn't the entire medical system of Amegakure become a huge joke?
"Please, divine healer, is there a way to cure this?"

After listening to his wife's words, Masahiko Uzumaki remained silent for a moment. He was actually beginning to question the authority of the "goddess doctor," and immediately asked with a serious expression,

If the other party can provide a targeted treatment plan, he will tentatively give it a try.
"No treatment is needed; it will naturally return to normal after a while."

Disappointed, Masahiko glanced at the composed and unperturbed female doctor and sighed inwardly.
He was indeed a quack doctor who swindled people out of so much time.

"Farewell!" Watching the couple's figures disappear into the rain, a touch of childlike innocence and bewilderment, beyond her years, surfaced on the aged face of the goddess doctor.

Did I say something wrong?

She blinked in confusion, and the diamond-shaped mark on the goddess healer's forehead flickered with a faint light, releasing a rich life force that enveloped her entire being.

As if time had reversed, the near-death goddess doctor was regaining her youth at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A few seconds later, a vibrant young woman in her early twenties appeared, with bright eyes and white teeth, a curvaceous figure, and short, neat, light brown hair. A striking pale purple diamond-shaped mark on her forehead stood out prominently.
After reverting to her true form, Tsunade, who had been lurking there under the guise of a divine healer, shook her head with a look of disappointment, her eyes filled with regret.
"It's a pity to have met such a worthy opponent. I was thinking of betting with him a couple more times."

Tsunade had been infiltrating the Land of Rain for three years. During those three years, she worked diligently and finally, half a year ago, when she returned to Konoha for her regular report, she successfully mastered the Yin Seal Technique, the dream love technique used by Konoha women.
Even now, Tsunade still remembers that night after sparring with the wooden dummy in the training grounds, when she suddenly had an epiphany. Many problems that had long plagued her cultivation were instantly resolved, and her mind became frighteningly clear.
In the blink of an eye, a light purple diamond-shaped mark appeared on her forehead, signifying that she had successfully mastered the Yin Sealing Technique, which is of S-level difficulty.

"Forget it, while my luck's good, I'll go to town and play a couple of rounds!"

Putting the matter of Masahiko's family out of her mind, Tsunade chuckled and rubbed her hands together. She got up, changed into her battle robe, and confidently headed towards a nearby town.
This time, she's going to take back everything she's lost!

the other side,
Having just entered the Land of Rain, Uchiha Gin and his companions changed into raincoats. Looking up at the sky shrouded in rain, Uchiha Hikaru, in a fit of sentimentality, suddenly spoke with a melancholic expression.

"This country is weeping."

"Screw crying, Hanzo has won so badly this time."

Looking at Hikari, who had transformed into a literary girl, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but roll his eyes. The Land of Rain in this timeline was far superior to the one in the original story.
In the original timeline, the Land of Rain is currently beset by internal and external troubles. Even with Hanzo, a demigod, it would still be unable to escape becoming a battlefield for the Second Shinobi World War.
Under the iron heel of war, the entire country was ravaged, the people suffered, and the dead starved to death everywhere, giving rise to a whole basketful of tragedies.

Unlike now, although still at the center of the struggle between the two nations, the way the war is conducted has changed. It is no longer a clash of blood and fire, but a game of money and power.

Faced with the Sand Village's extravagant spending, the Rain Village, led by Hanzo, successfully absorbed this windfall. While earning subsidies, they also vigorously improved the business environment, attracting countless foreign merchants drawn by the promise of wealth, injecting considerable prosperity into the Land of Rain.

"Mr. Yin, where should we go first?"

Uchiha Osamu tugged at the dripping brim of his hat and asked softly,
"The Hidden Rain Village."

He had already learned the location of Uzumaki Masahiko's shop from his older brother Zhou Xuan; it was in Amegakure, the village of Amegakure in the Land of Rain.
"Do you know where Amegakure is?"

Looking at the confident expression on Uchiha Gin's face, the Uchiha ruler, who was visiting the Land of Rain for the first time, expressionlessly posed a probing question.
"Uh, wait a minute, I'll find a guide."

This question really stumped Uchiha Gin. Counting the first Knights Tournament he organized, he had only been to the Land of Rain twice, one of which was in another timeline.
"Guide? You know someone here?"

Upon hearing the word "guide," both Uchiha Hikaru and Uchiha Gin frowned simultaneously. Could it be that Uchiha Gin had also secretly hidden a woman in the Land of Rain?

"Definitely!"

Unaware of the faint chill in the two women's eyes, Uchiha Gin nodded with a smile and took out a high-tech, black and white gadget from his pocket.

"Crack!"

With a gentle press, the strange gadget transformed into a pure white snake in a dazzling white light, flicking its tongue and staring with adorable, big eyes at Uchiha Gin, who had summoned it, with a puzzled look.
"Sadahime, summon Orochimaru to see me."

As Uchiha Gin's voice faded, the little snake's bewildered eyes gradually regained their rationality.

"Yin, you summoned me for such a trivial matter?"

With a small opening of her mouth, a charming and languid voice reached their ears. It was none other than Su Shen Zhen Ji, Lao Yin's loyal ally.

"I only asked you for help because it's a small matter. If it were a really big matter, I wouldn't want to ask you for help."

After exchanging a few playful words with the little white snake, Uchiha Gin's words made the snake chuckle. Su Shen Zhen Ji nodded in agreement to this insignificant request.
After communicating with Orochimaru's subordinates with her eyes closed, Sujin Sasaki opened her eyes a moment later, a strange, almost human-like expression appearing on her small snake face.
"Orochimaru... he probably can't come for the time being."

"Huh? Did he encounter some danger?"

Uchiha Gin frowned slightly upon hearing this. As expected, infiltrating missions were never simple. Orochimaru, being in a foreign land, must be constantly dancing with death.
"Uh, no, he's currently livestreaming himself dancing to earn money, he's busy."

"."

It seems the dance was real, but not with death.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble. I'll treat you to spicy hot pot next time I go back."

With a stiff expression, Uchiha Gin scratched his head, while Sujin Sadahime coiled up and transformed into the transformation enhancement item she had used before.

"Our guide is unavailable, so we'll have to find Amegakure ourselves."

Putting the props back into his bag, Uchiha Gin, ignoring the two girls' teasing gazes, said in a cryptic tone,
"How about I take you flying to search?"

Uchiha Hikari rubbed her hands together eagerly; her Sixth Generation Susanoo hadn't been seen for quite some time.

"No, Susanoo's movements are too loud."

Raising a hand to stop the reddening eyes of the little light, Uchiha Gin suddenly turned his head to the side, his lazy eyes suddenly brightening.
someone!

In his sensory radar, three energy fluctuations—two large and one small—were slowly approaching; their auras were weak.

Ninety-nine percent of the people here, especially those with their families, are locals.
"Haha, there's always a way out. When you're in trouble, it's always more reliable to ask the locals for help!"

Uchiha Gin laughed loudly and, with the two women, greeted a passing local. Through the misty rain, they could see a couple holding a child in the distance.
The man was unremarkable and not as handsome as him, while the woman had delicate features and light purple hair that looked somewhat familiar to Uchiha Gin.
The two clearly noticed the approaching group of three strangers. The man's expression changed, and he grabbed his wife, who was holding their child, and turned to run, giving Uchiha Gin no chance to approach and talk to them.

"Hey, fellow countryman, don't go! We're good folks!" (End of Chapter)
