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

Chapter 65 Lying down, I just ate...

At this moment, in Uchiha Gin's sea of ​​consciousness, Yamanaka Soichiro locked his consciousness in a small dark room. Uchiha Gin's entire consciousness was occupied by his spiritual body. Yamanaka Soichiro, laughing wildly, looked at the sea of ​​consciousness that he had occupied.

Everything here is the same as the people he has invaded before. Uchiha Gin's sea of ​​consciousness is also a void. The nonchalant Yamanaka Soichiro is preparing to control Uchiha Gin's body to commit suicide.

Suddenly, he noticed something flickering in Uchiha Gin's mind. Yamanaka Soichiro, who had never seen anything like it before, was driven by his curiosity to push aside the fog there.

A strange door slowly appeared before his eyes. The door was entirely black and was tightly locked with a large padlock.

Soichiro Yamanaka stepped forward and examined the large lock. The lock was bronze in color, but it had no keyhole. There was a windmill pattern on the surface of the lock, which faintly emitted a red glow and had a strange attraction to it.

Encountering this situation for the first time, the rather old but still curious Yamanaka Soichiro, upholding the spirit of scientific research, temporarily postponed Uchiha Gin's suicide plan and began to study the door lock in front of him.

When his palm touched the lock, it wasn't as cold as he had imagined; instead, it was burning hot. Touching the pattern on the lock, Yamanaka Soichiro was surprised to find several tiny cracks on the lock surface.

As a member of the Yamanaka clan who specializes in mental esoteric arts, he could clearly sense that someone had placed a seal on the Uchiha's mind.

What secret does this seal hold?

Soichiro Yamanaka couldn't help but use his mental power to probe the large, cracked lock in his hand.

The instant his mental energy touched the lock, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared out of nowhere before his eyes, and a powerful force emanated from the large lock pattern in his hand, sending him flying.

The backlash of mental energy instantly returned to his body. Yamanaka Soichiro, who had originally usurped the position, was so shocked by this attack that he had no choice but to flee from Uchiha Gin's sea of ​​consciousness.

In reality, the kunai that Yamanaka Soichiro was controlling paused just before it pierced his throat. After a brief struggle, the hand holding the kunai fell limply to his side.

Soichiro Yamanaka, who had been unconscious, suddenly jolted awake, his eyes wide with shock.

"What exactly is in your head?"

"what?"

Upon regaining consciousness, Uchiha Gin looked bewildered at Yamanaka Soichiro, who was clutching his chest and panting heavily.

Having just been hit by the Mind Transfer Technique, Uchiha Gin felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and discovered that his consciousness could no longer control his body. His spiritual body was locked in a dark and sunless corner by Yamanaka Soichiro, who had transformed into a war god in his sea of ​​consciousness.

I'm considering whether to use the Tsukuyomi experience card to give Yamanaka Soichiro's spirit a big boost. If his spirit were to directly face the Kaleidoscope's illusion, the effect wouldn't be doubled, but rather ten times greater.

Uchiha Gin's consciousness was able to observe his own body's movements. Just before Yamanaka Soichiro controlled his body and was about to stab a kunai into his throat, Uchiha Gin took out the Tsukuyomi experience card produced by the system.

Just as they were about to use it, they saw Yamanaka Soichiro stop what he was doing and walk alone into the depths of the void of his sea of ​​consciousness.

In just a few breaths, Uchiha Gin, who was holding the Tsukuyomi experience card and observing the situation, saw Yamanaka Soichiro, who had been so arrogant just moments before, being thrown out, slamming heavily to the ground, and then bouncing away.

"No way, no way, it's over already? Are you out of your mind, old man? How come you gave up halfway through?"

Even after regaining his freedom, Uchiha Gin's output remained consistent, and he was always sarcastic and sarcastic.

"Uchiha brat, don't be so arrogant! I haven't even used my full strength yet. Wait for my next move, and I'll grind you to dust!"

Soichiro Yamanaka was injured by the backlash, but as a veteran master of secret techniques, he was able to minimize the damage from the backlash in a short time.

"As expected of a senior member of the Yamanaka clan, you are full of spirit! I, Uchiha Gin, acknowledge you as the strongest in mind control ninjutsu! This junior humbly submits."

Uchiha Gin, changing the subject, gave a thumbs-up with a look of admiration.

"???"

He had been expecting the Uchiha brat in front of him to utter some outrageous and vulgar words, but the other party's attitude changed 180 degrees. The stark contrast made Yamanaka Soichiro unable to catch his breath, and in a fit of anger, he fainted.

"Host failed. Gained 10 Anima. The Heart Steel Treasure Chest reward can be unlocked after three more battles. (Current total Anima: 10)"

A pleasant system notification sound rang out, and Uchiha Gin nodded in satisfaction. He went over and re-tied up the unconscious Yamanaka Soichiro, humming a cheerful tune as he closed the cell door.

"Today is a great day to eat steel!"

After greeting Uchiha Tetsudan, who was on guard duty, Uchiha Gin, having finished his daily Heart Steel routine, lingered there.

He was preparing to skip work like yesterday, but unexpectedly, he met someone on the way.

"Elder Miao, good morning."

From afar, a familiar, withered figure could be seen. Uchiha Miao, with an indifferent expression, had actually come to the dungeon. It was unclear what his purpose was.

Since they had run into each other, it wouldn't be right not to say hello, so Uchiha Gin took the initiative to step forward and greet him respectfully.

"Uchiha Gin?"

Uchiha Miao was also surprised to run into Uchiha Gin here. "What are you doing here?"

He briefly explained to Uchiha Miao the whole story of how he was transferred to the dungeon to organize files. After listening, Uchiha Miao thought for a moment and said...

"This job is perfect for you. It avoids going out on missions and you don't have to come into contact with your people."

He had heard a little about Uchiha Gin's infamous reputation, and even he felt a slight aversion to this seemingly harmless Uchiha in front of him, but being a man of deep cunning, he did not easily show it.

"Are your eyes feeling any discomfort?"

Suddenly remembering something, Uchiha Miao stared into the other person's eyes and asked.

"No, I've awakened my Sharingan, my eyesight is amazing!"

Uchiha Gin boasted to him.

"Sharingan, huh? If you have time, come to the research institute and I'll examine you."

After saying that, Uchiha Miao walked into the depths of the dungeon without looking back.

Uchiha Gin was completely baffled. He had learned from Uchiha Yao that his current eyes were not original, and that the person who performed the surgery was most likely Uchiha Miao from earlier.

He should know the condition of his eyes perfectly well, so why is he showing curiosity about them?

Lost in thought, Uchiha Gin left the dungeon. Not far away, Uchiha Miao, who had been watching him disappear through the dungeon gates, emerged from the darkness.

"He clearly instructed Yan to use an ordinary person's eyes, so why did he still activate the Sharingan?"

Filled with doubt, Uchiha Miao decided to find Uchiha Yan, the provider of the eyeball at the time, and ask him for clarification.

"I wonder if that brat Senju Itama has woken up yet. I'll give him the gift when I get back; that should cheer him up."

Senju Itama's life was closely tied to his. Uchiha Gin could not rest easy until he sent him back to the Senju clan. He cooked for him because he was afraid the brat would starve to death, and he was also afraid that he would become depressed and commit suicide, so he prepared gifts for him.

"I'm truly a great philanthropist of the Uchiha clan!"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Gin nodded with a strong sense of self-affirmation.

"Cousin! What are you doing wandering around here instead of going to work?"
