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

Chapter 67 You dared to take my chance?

"This young Uchiha has no sportsmanship! He tries to trick me! He tries to ambush me, a 69-year-old old man. Is this acceptable? This is not acceptable!"

Within the illusionary space of Tsukuyomi, Uchiha Gin, nailed to the cross, looked at the endless array of seven opponents before him and felt a sense of helplessness as a senior figure.

Unfortunately, the old man's earnest teachings failed to resonate with Itachi Uchiha, instead causing him to accelerate his movements, resulting in a barrage of attacks on his lower body.

72 hours passed quickly. Uchiha Gin could feel that this Tsukuyomi was more intense than the previous ones, as it was particularly painful.

Gin Uchiha collapsed onto the recliner, panting heavily, clutching his head. The aftereffects of the Tsukuyomi were really strong; his head was still throbbing. It wasn't until the system's debuff-clearing ability took effect that Gin Uchiha recovered.

"The backyard refreshes daily with a random skill [Illusion - Tsukuyomi], granting 10 Tsukuyomi Fragment."

[Tsukuyomi Fragment (30/40): Collect 40 fragments to synthesize the Illusion Technique Tsukuyomi. The skill Mangekyou Sharingan can learn it.]

Finally, he was almost ready to collect enough fragments of Tsukuyomi. Once he had them all, he wouldn't have to suffer from the 1v7 situation anymore. Imagining his wonderful future, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Straightening his back, Uchiha Gin strode back home with an air of nonchalance. Looking at his long-used house, he stroked his chin and pondered. Now that he had mastered Wood Release: Four Pillars, should he take some time to renovate the house, or simply demolish it and rebuild it?

Forget it, I'll think about it when I wake up tomorrow! Yawning, Uchiha Gin was too lazy to think about such a trivial matter, so he lay down on the sofa and fell asleep immediately.

The next day, as usual, Gin Uchiha, a typical office worker, got up early, tidied himself up quickly, made himself a breakfast, ate a few bites, and went to work.

He walked confidently to the door of his archives room, pushed it open, and was taken aback by what he saw.

"Brother Lü, you've arrived very early."

Seeing Uchiha Ryusei sitting at his desk with his back to him, Uchiha Gin reached out and greeted him.

Good morning, Master Yin~

With a hint of weariness in his voice, Uchiha Lucha turned his head and sported two large panda eyes, his eyeballs filled with bloodshot red, making it look from a distance as if he had opened his eyes.

"You're not working here all night, are you?"

Noticing that something was wrong with Uchiha Ryusei, Uchiha Gin cautiously asked him a question.

Uchiha Lu nodded, then shoved a blue file into the bookshelf and said...

"Yes, I've been working non-stop since yesterday, without closing my eyes once."

"Brother Lü is truly a role model for us all. His dedication to his job has really broadened my horizons."

Uchiha Gin praised Uchiha Ryuzaki without reservation.

"Not at all, it's my honor to be able to share Lord Yin's burdens."

Tsk, this kid is quite good at handling things. He speaks fluently and has great potential.

"Brother Lü, health is the foundation of everything. You should rest well first, and leave the rest of the work to me."

Uchiha Gin, with an upright and dignified expression, said that after all, he was not some kind of demon. Exploiting employees was unacceptable, and sustainable development was the key.

"Forehead"

Uchiha Ryōzai glanced at the few remaining files on his desk, inwardly rolling his eyes, but power was no match for him, so he had no choice but to compromise.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Yin."

Uchiha Ryusei got up and left the archives room, handing over the simple finishing touches to Uchiha Gin.

After carefully and meticulously placing the last file into the bookshelf, Uchiha Gin let out a deep sigh of relief.

"It's truly so arduous!"

Uchiha Gin wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and sighed.

Satisfied with the tidied archives, Uchiha Gin randomly pulled out a file from one of the shelves.

"I've chosen you!"

The dungeon is a great place to farm gold; those locked inside are locked up until they die and can never get out. Even if you pretend to kneel down, the message won't get out.

The prisoner drawn today wasn't particularly special, so Uchiha Tetsudan took him away. After he left, Uchiha Gin had a "friendly" exchange with the prisoner.

"Host failed. Gained 12 Healing Energy. The Heart Steel Treasure Chest reward will be unlocked after two more battles. (Current total Healing Energy: 22)"

Upon hearing the system notification, Uchiha Gin patted the dirt off his clothes with satisfaction and waved goodbye to the kind person.

With nothing to do in the dungeon today, Uchiha Gin once again chose to leave early, humming a little tune as he slipped out of the dungeon gate.

Walking along the main road of the Uchiha clan's territory, enjoying his hard-won free time, Uchiha Gin scratched his curly hair. Suddenly, he remembered Uchiha Miao, whom he had met yesterday, who had told him to get his Sharingan checked when he had time.

There's no time like the present, so I'll go see him today for a checkup. I feel like my eyesight is getting worse lately.

According to the original owner's memories, after navigating through the clan's territory, they finally arrived at a building far away from the clan's grounds. Upon seeing Uchiha Gin approaching, the guards at the entrance immediately intercepted him.

"Restricted experimental area, no unauthorized personnel allowed!"

"Elder Uchiha Miao sent me to find him."

Unexpectedly, the security here was so tight. Uchiha Gin was not annoyed by the other party's attitude, but instead earnestly explained to them.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go in and ask."

Upon hearing this, the guard did not question whether Uchiha Gin was telling the truth or not, and turned to go into the research institute to report.

After a while, the guard returned to the main gate and spoke to Uchiha Gin, who was waiting quietly.

"Elder Uchiha Miao, please let me in."

With that, he stepped aside to make way for her, nodded his thanks, and stepped into this place he had never been before.

"Uchiha Gin, right? Elder Miao asked me to show you the way."

A thin, young Uchiha was waiting inside the door. When he saw Uchiha Gin approaching, he asked a question.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

As the thin man walked a long way, Uchiha Gin thought to himself,

"No wonder I had someone pick me up, it's so empty inside."

The facilities in the research institute all look relatively new; it's quite obvious that they were built in recent years.

"This is it. Go in by yourself. I have other things to do."

After giving Uchiha Gin a few words of advice, the thin man turned and left without hesitation.

"Elder Miao, are you there?"

Through the crack in the office door, Uchiha Gin saw a sliver of light and then knocked.

"Come in."

A chilling voice came from inside, and Uchiha Gin pushed open the door without hesitation.

Uchiha Miao was wearing a white lab coat and was hunched over a table fiddling with something. Uchiha Gin saw that he was still busy with his work, so he didn't disturb him and began to observe the laboratory on his own.

A row of bookshelves stood against the wall, filled with folders covered in labels. Next to them, a display case held countless glass jars. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the jars contained various human tissues and organs, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

"Uchiha Gin, I didn't expect you to come looking for me today."

Stopping what she was doing, Uchiha Miao turned around, scrutinizing him with a deep gaze.

"Elder Miao, since you personally instructed me, I naturally rushed over immediately."

Gin Uchiha lied without batting an eye.

"In order to get here as soon as possible, I stayed up all night yesterday to finish the work that Elder Yan assigned me."

After listening to his words, Uchiha Miao said meaningfully,

"You seem to be in a hurry?"
