Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

Chapter 27: After giving up, I started working as a corporate slave.

The moment the system notification appeared, Uchiha Gin felt a cool sensation in his hands, and the searing pain from Amaterasu vanished without a trace.

There was nothing wrong with my body, as if everything that had just happened was a dream.

The inexplicable swelling and pain in his right eye left him momentarily at a loss. The scarlet double tomoe spun rapidly in his eye, and a cold aura gathered within it, giving him a pent-up feeling of frustration that he had to vent.

Trying to guide this energy, Uchiha Gin instinctively released it into the open space in front of him.

As a black flame suddenly ignited in the open space, Uchiha Gin felt his eye power being rapidly depleted.

Warm blood also gushed from the corner of his eye, startling him so much that he quickly shut down his Sharingan.

The black flame on the open ground, comparable to the flame of a lighter, slowly dissipated into the air as Uchiha's Silver Sharingan closed.

Uchiha Gin, whose body had been emptied by a small Amaterasu, gasped for breath, wiping away the fresh blood from the corner of his eyes, a hint of doubt rising in his mind.

How can I use a mere two-tomoe Sharingan to unleash a skill exclusive to the Mangekyou Sharingan?

"Could it be the system?"

Unable to find an explanation from common sense, he could only forcefully shift the blame to the system.

After resting for a while, Uchiha Gin got up and touched his still sore right eye.

The appearance of Amaterasu made up for his lack of ninjutsu damage. Although his super strength was powerful, he was helpless against agile enemies.

"However, it seems that Amaterasu never burned anyone to death in the original work, except when she burned White Zetsu."

Recalling Amaterasu's achievements in the original work, Uchiha Gin thought to himself.

Turning back into the house, Senju Itama was still snoring, while Uchiha Gin lay on the sofa, staring intently at his hands.

When Amaterasu attacked, I was already determined to make a clean break, but I didn't expect to accidentally trigger a strange protection mechanism.

He could barely deduce that the vortex clan emblem on his right hand was a special protection given to the vortex mark by the vortex clan.

It is triggered passively when encountering danger. The rune just now was probably the Fire Sealing Seal Technique, which should be automatically activated after the mark encounters fire damage.

"But the left hand."

Uchiha Gin looked at his empty left hand and tried to use his chakra to examine the entire hand, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea; he only slowly consumed his chakra without any other reaction.

Recalling the strange mark that had just flashed by, Uchiha Gin tried to find the answer in the original owner's memories, but still found nothing.

Since transmigrating, he has browsed through the original owner's memories more than once. His childhood memories are probably blurry because he was young.

The fragmented memories of the camp attack during his childhood are likely due to the extreme horror and trauma of the scene, triggering an avoidance mechanism in his brain.

After that, the memories were very bland, just the daily life of a noob, until his appearance, which replaced the original owner.

Open for business!

Unable to find an answer, Uchiha Gin simply gave up and decided to take a nap. He had to go to work the next day, so he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Uchiha Gin, who was up early, yanked off Senju Itama's blanket. Seeing Senju Itama fast asleep on the bed, clutching his childhood clothes, Uchiha Gin didn't hold back and immediately gave him a classic flick on the forehead.

"Ahhh"

Senju Itama, who had been clutching his head, instantly snapped back to reality, rubbing his head as he stared at the culprit before him.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Ignoring his familiar, somewhat cryptic speech, Uchiha Gin spoke.

"I'm going to work today. There's food in the kitchen. Don't even think about running away. There are Uchiha everywhere outside. If you get recognized, you should know the consequences."

Knowing his predicament, Senju Itama pouted and reluctantly nodded.

"I'll buy some hair dye when I get back tonight and change your conspicuous hair color."

Before turning to leave, Uchiha Gin said to him.

After leaving the house, Uchiha Gin slowly made his way towards the dungeon, following the original owner's memories.

He encountered several Uchiha clansmen along the way. He reached out to greet them, but they looked at him as if he were a monster and quickly walked away without turning their heads, leaving Uchiha Gin completely bewildered.

Recalling the original owner's reputation, Uchiha Gin could only shake his head helplessly; this situation couldn't be changed anytime soon.

Arriving at a gloomy door, Uchiha Gin knocked hard. After a moment, a small hole was opened in the door, revealing the gloomy face of the Uchiha clansman who had come to inform him the day before.

The other person glanced at him and then closed the small hole. Then the main door slowly opened, and Uchiha Gin, without suspicion, slowly walked in.

Following the gloomy Uchiha clansman, Uchiha Gin walked through a dark and narrow corridor, then through a door. As the path widened and the visibility improved, torches were stuck in the walls on both sides to provide illumination.

"From now on, I am your boss."

The Uchiha clansman leading the way suddenly spoke, his voice seemingly emanating from the deepest hell, sending chills down everyone's spine.

"May I ask how I should address you?"

Unable to gauge the other party's temperament, Uchiha Gin had no choice but to ask for his name first.

"Uchiha Ryukage".

The other party coldly retorted.

The two walked and walked, feeling as if the dungeon was bottomless. They didn't know how long they had walked before Uchiha Ryukage stopped.

Uchiha Gin, who was behind him, looked up and saw a small door with the words "Archives Room" written on it.

Uchiha Ryukage led him inside, where he saw piles and piles of scrolls scattered haphazardly on tables, floors, and bookshelves, as if the place had been robbed.

Meeting Uchiha Gin's questioning gaze, Uchiha Ryukage spoke up.

"The previous archivist has passed away, and the archive catalog he compiled is lost. Now it's up to you to compile it again."

With his explanation, Uchiha Gin learned that the former archivist of the dungeon had died while out, and the catalog of the files had disappeared with his death.

The clan had to search through the prisoners' files one by one several times, which was very laborious.

Not only did they make a mess of the archives, but the search was also incredibly slow, urgently requiring a new archivist to re-verify and categorize the prisoners.

Looking at the scrolls scattered all over the room, Uchiha Gin had a headache. He had guessed that Uchiha Tajima didn't want him to go out anymore, but he didn't expect the other party to give him such a homebody task.

This room is full of scrolls; it will probably take him a long time to check them all.

"Do I have any help? There's so much information."

Uchiha Gin tried to ask.

"We don't have enough manpower."

Uchiha Ryukage, with his withered face, stared at him expressionlessly. From his lifeless eyes, Uchiha Gin could not see a trace of emotion, as if he were a robot without feelings.

"All right."

Gin Uchiha had no choice but to reluctantly accept the mission.

"How will I eat? And how will I get rest?"

"There's a canteen in the dungeon; you can go home at night."

Uchiha Ryukage's words were concise and to the point.

Hearing that he could go home, Uchiha Gin breathed a sigh of relief. There was still a dangerous kid at home, and if he couldn't get back and something happened to Senju Itama, he would suffer the consequences.

"To make it easier for you to verify the information, you are free to enter and exit the cells in the dungeon."

Uchiha Ryukage's calm eyes flickered slightly as he looked at him and said,

"Although the prisoners' chakra has been sealed and their hands and feet have been bound, they are all extremely dangerous individuals."

He was somewhat surprised to hear that Uchiha Ryukage had actually reminded him.

"Don't die, I won't be able to explain it to Elder Yan."

Thank you so much!

Having finished giving his instructions, Uchiha Ryukage left without lingering, leaving Uchiha Gin standing there alone.

Shaking his head, Uchiha Gin had no choice but to begin his work.

First, pick up all the scrolls scattered on the floor and pile them on the only desk in the archives.

Looking at the mountain of scrolls in front of him, Uchiha Gin sighed, randomly picked one up, and started flipping through it.

"Kaguya Josuke: A wandering ninja who murdered two members of the Uchiha clan. He is suspected of having mental problems and is unable to use genjutsu to torture others. Information is unknown. He is currently imprisoned in Dungeon Number Two."

Kaguya, huh?

Out of curiosity about a clan that appeared in the original work, Uchiha Gin immediately decided to go and see this guy.
