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

Chapter 33 What Does the Original Owner's Birth Have to Do with Uchiha Gin?

After understanding the situation, Uchiha Ryukage left without lingering.

Completely bewildered, Uchiha Gin couldn't piece together any useful truth from these fragmented clues.

After weighing the options, he decided to do the work at hand first.

Once it was understood that the files were categorized by color, the organization process became much more efficient, and the messy scrolls were sorted out in no time.

Looking at the three piles of different colored scrolls in front of him, Uchiha Gin began the next step of sorting.

The file scrolls not only had to be divided according to the dungeon, but each prisoner's file also had to be clearly labeled and listed in a catalog for accurate reference.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to start organizing from the blue scrolls.

"Shimura Shinji: A member of the Shimura clan, he poisoned the water source in the Uchiha clan's territory, causing the deaths of twenty-three Uchiha clan members. He is skilled in Wind Release and poisons."

That's too despicable; it must be placed on the first level.

"Satori Takinosuke: A member of the Sarutobi clan, he ambushed the Uchiha clan's supply corps, resulting in the deaths of twelve people and permanent disabilities to five others. He is skilled in Fire Release, Earth Release, and Summoning Jutsu."

It's too brutal; we must go to the first level.

"A family in the mountains: a family in the mountains,"

After flipping through many blue scrolls, Uchiha Gin discovered that most of these criminals came from families with names and surnames in the future.

It seems that even in the Warring States period, it was still very difficult for commoner ninjas to grow up, and the best ones were mostly clan ninjas.

There aren't many blue scrolls; those who are captured and put into Dungeon Number One are all deeply sinful criminals.

These types of criminals are generally quite strong and difficult to capture, so there are only a dozen or so of them.

The blue scroll was quickly organized. During this time, Uchiha Gin also checked the arrest records, which were mostly from arrests made more than six years ago, and there were no suspects.

Scratching his curly hair, Uchiha Gin focused his gaze on the blue scroll and continued tidying it up, hoping to find some valuable clues.

Unfortunately, they didn't find any suspicious persons after searching halfway through.

Most of the criminals on the blue scrolls are from small clans or are wandering ninjas. They are not particularly strong, and their crimes are mostly espionage or ambushing lone Uchiha clan members.

After looking through them all, it turned out that Josuke Kaguya's crime was the most serious in the blue scroll, but because of his mental problems, he was unable to communicate effectively and was therefore demoted to the second dungeon.

The scrolls in Dungeon No. 2 were significantly more numerous than those in Dungeon No. 1. After reading more than half of them, Uchiha Gin felt his eyes were sore and his head was throbbing, just like the symptoms of not wanting to go to work in his previous life.

With the idea that work should be balanced with rest, Gin Uchiha put down his work, closed his eyes, and started slacking off.

Just as he closed his eyes to rest, a soft knock sounded on the door.

"Please come in."

Upon hearing a knock on the door, Uchiha Gin immediately opened his eyes, grabbed a scroll, and began "working".

Uchiha Ryuzaki, whom I met yesterday, entered the room. He cautiously looked around to see if anyone else was in the room, and when he found that only Uchiha Gin was there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Yin's dedication to his job is truly a role model for us all."

Seeing Uchiha Gin holding a scroll and flipping through it intently, Uchiha Ryusei immediately showered him with compliments.

"No, no, I was just doing my job."

Uchiha Gin waved his hand modestly.

"I wonder what brings you here, Brother Lü?"

"Lord Yin, you flatter me. Just call me Lü Cha."

"It's alright, Brother Lü. May I ask what advice you may offer?"

Seeing that no one was around, Uchiha Lucha stepped forward and whispered to Uchiha Gin,

"Lord Yin, I've made progress on the matter you requested."

Having accepted Uchiha Gin's mission yesterday, Uchiha Ryuzaki immediately sprang into action, inquiring in each of the three dungeons one by one. Finally, his efforts paid off, and he managed to extract a piece of information from an older jailer.

"Brother Lü, please speak."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that this guy was quite efficient, finding clues in just one day.

"According to one of our old prison guards, this dungeon wasn't always laid out like this."

As he spoke, Uchiha Roza pointed to the dungeon map hanging on the wall, indicating the area between dungeon number one and dungeon number two, and continued,

"There used to be four dungeons here, but about six years ago, Elder Yan abandoned one of them, leaving only the three dungeons we have now."

Uchiha Ryuzaki drew a circle in the large empty area of ​​Dungeon No. 1 and Dungeon No. 2, indicating that there was another dungeon that had once existed there.

"Since it's abandoned, it means it's no longer in use, right?" Uchiha Gin asked after thinking logically.

"Whether it was used or not, I don't know, but the old jailer said that before that dungeon was abandoned six years ago, it had secretly imprisoned a person."

Uchiha Ryuzaki said mysteriously.

"If it's a secret, how did he know?"

Although the news of the secret imprisonment was tempting, did this old jailer know a little too much?

"Oh, I didn't ask that."

Uchiha Ryuzaki was momentarily speechless at this unexpected question.

He really hadn't thought about why the other party would so easily tell him this secret information to someone he had never met. Could it be that he had simply revealed that the other party was a confidant of the new clan leader's nephew?

"Alright, continue. What else did that old jailer tell you?"

The sudden appearance of this mysterious old jailer made him vaguely uneasy; the timing of the other party's appearance was just too perfect.

"He told me that after that person was locked up, he never came out again. Shortly afterward, Elder Yan announced that the dungeon was abandoned due to years of disrepair."

Uchiha Lucha swallowed hard to ease his parched throat.

"Who are those people who are being held captive?"

Could those who were arrested six years ago be the same group that attacked the Uchiha clan's territory?

"I asked the old jailer, and after he finished what he said, he ignored me completely."

Uchiha Lucha said somewhat awkwardly.

"Where is that old jailer now?"

Having finally found a few clues, Uchiha Gin was unwilling to give up.

"He was in Dungeon Number Three, doing cleaning work for personal reasons."

Uchiha Ryōzashi found it difficult to speak.

"What's wrong?"

"That old jailer is blind."

Uchiha Lucha's guilty gaze darted away.

???

If the person who knows these things is blind, then the accuracy of this information is questionable.

No wonder Uchiha Ryōza was able to find the information so quickly; it turns out he doesn't even spare the blind.

"Thank you, Brother Lü. Please let me know as soon as possible if there is any further news."

The source of this information was an elderly blind man, suggesting that the news was likely fabricated.

After all, how could a lowly prison guard possibly know about such a secret escort?

"No, no, it is my honor to serve Lord Yin."

Uchiha Lucha looked terrified.

Frowning, Uchiha Gin recalled the original owner's memories.

From his memory, the original owner had a strange temper and sometimes used his status as the clan chief's nephew to bully and provoke his clansmen.

However, the original owner did not act excessively towards his clansmen who had no ill intentions towards him, so why were ordinary clansmen so afraid of him?

"Brother Lü, how do the clansmen usually view me?" Uchiha Gin asked.

When asked a potentially fatal question, Uchiha Lucha's eyes darted around, and he didn't know how to say the words.

Although the two days they spent together made him feel that Uchiha Gin wasn't as bad as the rumors suggested, he couldn't rule out the possibility that Gin was "entrapping" him.

"Brother Lü, given our current relationship, you can speak freely without worry."

Uchiha Gin gave a friendly smile and patted Uchiha Ryuzaki on the shoulder, indicating that he was now one of them and there was no need for him to hold back.

"Then I'll tell you."

As if making a firm decision, Uchiha Lucha gritted his teeth, raised his head, and his eyes revealed a fearless spirit.

After carefully considering his words, Uchiha Roza managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"As far as I know, Uchiha Gin was born into a pure family."
