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

"Congratulations, Ah Qi! When the baby is born, I, as his uncle, will definitely give him a big red envelope."

When Sakumo Hatake walked out of the room with YoRHa, who had successfully restarted, Xiu, who had been anxiously waiting outside, immediately went up to him and gave him a big bear hug.

"Thank you, Xiu."

To be honest, Sakumo Hatake was very moved, but along with that, he felt a deep sense of guilt.
Over the years, Xiu had treated him like a brother, and now he had even arranged a wife for him. The thought of leaving without even saying goodbye soon filled Hatake Sakumo with a bitter feeling.

"Hey! We're all buddies, why are you suddenly getting so sentimental?"

Xiu casually patted Hatake Sakumo on the shoulder, his bright smile particularly irritating.

"I"

"Alright, you two are enjoying your honeymoon period, so I won't disturb you any longer. Remember to turn on the heating mode beforehand!"

Seeing Sakumo Hatake hesitate, Xiu waved his hand, winked at him, and gave him a knowing smile.

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled Uchiha Gin, who was studying the instruction manual, over.
"Grandpa Yin, Auntie said that once you've finished your business here, you must do her a favor and visit her."

"That's fine, I happen to have something I want to ask her."

After closing the instruction manual, Uchiha Gin glanced back at Hatake Sakumo, whose expression seemed somewhat dejected, and nodded slightly.

"Um... Master Gin, will Yoruichiro's condition not repeat itself like before?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin about to leave, Hatake Sakumo's heart tightened.
"It's hard to say. If you continue to use it as frequently as before, she might experience the same problem again in a few years."

"Uh"

Sakumo Hatake blushed slightly, admitting that he had devoted a lot of energy to this area in recent years due to pressure.
"How many times a day is appropriate?"

"one day?"

Uchiha Gin looked at Hatake Sakumo in surprise. This repressed pervert was so restrained; he had underestimated him.
"Just kidding. We won't need to worry about her energy supply for the next few decades, but I am worried about whether your body can handle it."

With the Yin-Yang energy he supplied as fuel, the power plant containing the dragon vein crystal could continue to roar until Boruto.
When Hatake Sakumo saw that Uchiha Gin was actually questioning his strength as a man, he immediately straightened his back and gave him a thumbs up.

"Hi~ Awesome!"

Leaving Hatake Sakumo's Love Nest, Uchiha Gin and Shu walked towards Chiyo's residence.
"Grandpa Yin, what do you think of Ah Qi?"

Just as Uchiha Gin was pondering the origin of the cloning device within YoRHa's body, Xiu, who was leading the way, suddenly blurted out,
"Oh? I've only met him a few times, but if I had to give an evaluation, it would be..."

Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, replying casually, but he detected a subtle, unusual undertone in Xiu's inexplicable tone.

"A repressed pervert."

"Really? Actually, Aqi is a very reliable man. As a partner, he makes me feel extremely at ease. I wouldn't mind entrusting my life entirely to him."

"Uh"

Subconsciously, Uchiha Gin distanced himself from Xiu, who was talking to himself, and his face turned slightly pale.
Hey kid, do you want to listen to what you're saying? If Ebizo heard this kind of talk, he'd probably cover your dermatitis with cement.

"What if it's an enemy?"

"The enemy, huh?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Gin's question, Xiu froze on the spot, then shook his head after a moment, his eyes flickering.

"How could Ah Qi possibly be an enemy?"

From Xiu's unusual tone, Uchiha Gin guessed that the other party already suspected Hatake Sakumo's identity, but because of their long-standing friendship, he didn't take the initiative to expose it.
Fate is often so mysterious. Scorpion's father, who died tragically at the hands of White Fang in the original timeline, actually became an invaluable friend in Sakumo Hatake's life.

"What a touching friendship! I acknowledge your bond!"

Regarding this act of defying fate, Uchiha Gin felt that the two of them deserved his youthful, admiring approval.

(ゝ)b
"No matter what happens in the future, Ah Qi will always be my friend."

Xiu, blinded by Uchiha Gin's exposed gums, turned his head away, his calm tone carrying a resounding determination.
After marveling at their cross-border friendship, Uchiha Gin suddenly remembered that YoRHa was created under the supervision of Shu. Why wouldn't he know the origin of the child in his womb?

Unless someone tampered with it.

"Xiao Xiu, besides you and your husband, were there any other people involved in the production of the Yogi Leaf?"

Feigning curiosity as he examined the novel goods on the street, Uchiha Gin casually asked,

"If we're talking about authorship of the research findings, then it's indeed just the two of us."

Xiu nodded somewhat embarrassedly. His contribution to creating the YoRHa Legion was significant. With Ebizo's influence, this achievement would greatly increase his political capital, preparing him for his future election as the Fourth Hokage.
"I understand~ I understand~ Who are those people not on that list?"

Uchiha Gin curled his lip upon hearing this, thinking, "Dirty politics."

"He's not some famous expert, just a young technician named..."

He gently shook his head, recalling the figure bustling about in the YoRHa workshop, and slowly uttered a name that felt both familiar and strange to Uchiha Gin.

“Victor.”

I have three hands.

Uchiha Gin blinked. Given his status, he shouldn't be capable of causing a time warp and triggering a dimensional chaos. It was probably just a coincidence that they shared the same name.

What is his area of ​​expertise?

“He used to research prosthetics and prosthetic bodies. I happened to be short of technicians in this field, so I recruited him.”

"Is he also from Sunagakure?"

"No, he comes from a small town, but he's very hardworking. He's still working in the workshop after we get off work. He's a very ambitious young man."

From Xiu's words, it's clear he has a good impression of this technician named Victor; he seems to be a reliable and trustworthy person in the eyes of his superiors.
"When you're done and have some free time, take me to see him. I have some questions I'd like to discuss with him."

However, the more reliable and hardworking a person is, the more likely they are to have problems. Uchiha Gin frowned. Just in case, it would be better to meet him in person. What if the thing in Yoruha's belly was his doing?

"No need, I'll call him over after get off work."

There's no need for Uchiha Gin to personally go to a mere technician; it's just a matter of him giving an order.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

As the two chatted, a magnificent mansion appeared before them. Looking at the thickly gold-painted gate and sensing Rasa's familiar chakra fluctuations, Uchiha Gin's eye twitched slightly.
There's a reason why that kid Luo Sha has dark circles under his eyes. He was exploited like this before he even came of age. No wonder he suffered kidney deficiency in middle age and had his butt ripped open by Orochimaru, ending up dying a miserable death in the desert.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Gold feels softer than ordinary materials, and it doesn't produce the familiar "bang" sound when tapped.
"Lord Xiu, Lord Yin, please come in. Lord Fengying has been waiting for you for quite some time."

The butler who opened the door was an old acquaintance of Chiyo's, and the moment he saw Uchiha Gin, his old face blossomed into a radiant smile. Uchiha Gin followed behind the old butler, casually surveying the lush greenery and flowers in the courtyard. "No wonder they're such a wealthy family in the ninja world," he thought, "they even managed to transplant tropical plants."
Sigh, it's so good to be rich!

"Old Ma, I remember your grandson is about to graduate, isn't he?"

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Gin. Maki is already a genin, and in a few days he will be learning the way of the ninja from a jonin."

The old butler, somewhat flattered, turned around. He hadn't expected that Uchiha Gin would remember the grandson he had casually mentioned earlier.
"Aren't you going to teach them yourselves?"

Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow in confusion. Don't let the fact that the old butler in front of him looked like an ordinary old man fool you; in his youth, he was an elite Jonin who followed Chiyo in battles everywhere.
Although his family is not large, it is still a prestigious family in Sunagakure. Why does he have to rely on others to teach his children, such an important matter?

"Lord Yin is joking. Only by experiencing hardships can a fledgling bird spread its wings and fly high."

The old butler smiled and shook his head, his aged gaze exceptionally deep.

"Even eagles eventually fall, and no one can live under the protection of their elders forever, can't they?"

"lifetime?"

Uchiha Gin scratched his head; it seemed he could actually do it.

"I'll leave you here. Please come in, gentlemen."

The old butler stopped in front of a half-open door, respectfully bowed, and turned to leave.

He also wanted to test the level of his grandson's future teacher, who was said to be a recently promoted unregistered teacher named "Master Broken Flow".

"Chiyo, we're coming in!"

Uchiha Gin didn't stand on ceremony and pushed open the door to enter. As soon as he stepped inside, he was greeted by a faint fragrance of flowers and fruits.

"Uncle Yin, you've finally arrived! Come and try my freshly brewed fruit wine."

Inside the room, a purple-haired girl in a light gold dress exuded elegance. Upon seeing Uchiha Gin, the aura of authority she naturally possessed vanished instantly, leaving only a captivating smile.

"You look even younger than when we last met, Chiyo~"

Thanks to the spacetime power contained within the Dragon Vein Chakra within her body, Chiyo, though over forty years old, showed no signs of hardship on her face, retaining the youthful glow of someone in their early twenties, with round cheeks so delicate they seemed to burst with moisture.

Really? Hehe~

"Auntie, could you please stop pretending to be young? I'm feeling a bit unwell."

Seeing Chiyo covering her face in a pretentious manner, Xiu, who knew his aunt's usual behavior, frowned and forced back his churning stomach as he uttered a complaint.
"Snapped!"

The next second, a huge, transparent hand swung out forcefully, shoving the talkative Xiu out and closing the half-closed door behind it.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

Xiu, who had rolled around on the grass outside, stood up in a disheveled state, spitting out bits of grass from his mouth. He looked at the automatically closing door with lingering fear, hesitated for a long time, and ultimately decided against going forward to invite a beating.

"Grandpa Yin, please have your drink first, I'll go find Victor for you!"

"This child always likes to joke around, Uncle Yin, please don't take it to heart."

Hearing the shouts from the "light bulb" outside, Chiyo withdrew her delicate white hand with a smile. Although her expression was smiling, the anger in her eyes was clearly visible. It was obvious that Xiu was in for a rough time.
Has the B2 issue been resolved?

"It was a satisfactory result."

Taking the wine glass from Chiyo, Uchiha Gin sniffed; the enticing fruity aroma made his mouth water.

Slurp~
Smooth on the palate, and goes straight down the throat!

"Good wine!"

Uchiha Gin nodded in satisfaction. He loved this sweet little wine; it was very refreshing to drink.
"Drink as much as you like, I have plenty here."

Soon, after a few rounds of drinks, Uchiha Gin smacked his lips. Chiyo had come to talk to him about something, but instead of saying a word, she just kept pouring him drinks.

How come you're not drunk yet?
Meanwhile, Chiyo, who had been observing Uchiha Gin's condition, was secretly getting anxious.
Don't be fooled by the fact that her fruit wines don't taste spicy; they actually contain a high concentration of alcohol, the kind that would make an ordinary person lose their senses after just one sip.

"Uncle Yin, to celebrate our 127th meeting..."

"Stop! I've had a lot of water, let me catch my breath first."

Seeing that Chiyo was once again finding some strange excuse to pour him more wine, Uchiha Gin raised his hand to stop her from urging him to drink. He patted his bulging belly, his face full of helplessness.
Are you really just going to drink it straight? You're not even going to bring a plate of peanuts, are you?

"Then I'll drink this one."

As the sweet fruit wine went down her throat, two faint blushes appeared on Chiyo's fair and delicate face.

"You asked me to come here, surely it wasn't just for drinking wine?"

Looking at the slightly tipsy Chiyo, Uchiha Gin said softly,
"Hiccup! Uncle Gin is as sensitive as ever~"

Chiyo let out a soft hiccup, rested her chin on her hands, and looked at Uchiha Gin across from her with a smile in her eyes.
"Actually, we found some interesting little guys in the village. I wonder if you'd be interested, Uncle Yin?"

"No interest. You know I hate troublesome brats the most."

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under Chiyo's gaze, Uchiha Gin rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

Those idiots, they didn't even realize they'd been caught; they only ever cause trouble for their parents.
"Oh, that's a real shame. If you're not interested, Uncle Gin, I'll just have to use the Sand Village's methods to educate them~"

Chiyo wasn't in a hurry; on the contrary, she thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of having Uchiha Gin under her thumb.
"You did the right thing. Bad kids should be taught a lesson!"

Unfortunately, Uchiha Gin wasn't falling for her tricks. Hatake Sakumo and the others had probably already been exposed. The reason Chiyo turned a blind eye was likely because she had assessed them and found no threat, which is why she didn't take action to arrest them.

"Hmph~ How boring."

Seeing that Uchiha Gin wasn't taking the bait, Chiyo immediately pouted. It seemed he was certain she wouldn't do anything to those spy brats who had made significant contributions to Sunagakure.

One of them used his identity as a ninja from the Land of Birds to work as a model worker in Sunagakure.

One is a major taxpayer who operates the most popular gym in the Land of Wind.
There was another one who was even more remarkable. Not only did he become Xiu's best friend, but he also helped Sunagakure develop the latest generation of war weapons.

"Aren't these all basic operations?"

Uchiha Gin shrugged, as if there weren't any Sunagakure spies working at that delicious Wind Serpent shop in Konoha's snack street.
"Okay, let's put this behind us for now. I only have one thing I want to confirm about you, Uncle Yin."

"what's up?"

Looking at Chiyo, whose face was full of gossip, Uchiha Gin nodded in confusion. Nothing major should have happened around him recently.

"Did you really bring that mother and daughter who traveled thousands of miles to find their relatives home?"

"Is this joke never going to end?" (End of Chapter)
