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

Chapter 70 Let's play a crossword puzzle

"At such a young age, you're not learning good things, instead imitating some elementary school student's 'darkening' behavior."

Uchiha Gin raised his hand and delivered a sharp rap on the head, causing Uchiha Izuna to howl in pain.

"Isn't this pretty cool? This style is all the rage in the tribe lately."

Uchiha Izuna covered the bump on his head and said with tears in his eyes.

These past few days, the children in the village have been playing some kind of dark fantasy game, painting themselves with smoky makeup, covering their faces, and spouting nonsensical nonsense, leaving the adults completely baffled.

"Tomorrow will be the third day. What exactly is the task the clan chief mentioned?"

After dealing with the kid's chuunibyou outburst, Uchiha Gin stroked his fluffy curly hair and asked, "Izuna told me that I'd be going on a mission with Uchiha Tajima in three days. The time is almost up."

"That's exactly what I was going to tell you!"

Uchiha Izuna had a "I remember now" look on his face; he had originally intended to go and talk to Uchiha Gin about this.

Unexpectedly, he encountered the mysterious-looking Madara Uchiha along the way. Driven by curiosity, he immediately forgot about what had happened before and focused only on following his older brother.

"Come to our house tomorrow at noon. Father will make arrangements."

Recalling his father's words of instruction, Uchiha Izuna relayed them to Uchiha Gin in a methodical manner.

Without further disturbing Uchiha Izuna, who had become a stalker, Uchiha Gin, having bought some groceries at the market, swaggered towards his new home.

After putting the ingredients in his newly built villa, the grocery store's order arrived. Several deliverymen who had been there once before rubbed their eyes in disbelief at the luxurious villa that had sprung up on the previously empty land.

There was nothing here last time I came. Where did this huge building come from?

Gin Uchiha, who had no time to explain such a question, was only focused on clearing out the goods. The others were also somewhat intimidated and did not continue to ask questions. They simply confirmed that everything was correct and left quickly.

Cleaning up this mess by himself was a bit of a hassle, so with the mindset of "might as well use it," Uchiha Gin returned to the old mansion and slapped Senju Itama awake, who was still fast asleep.

"Get up and get to work, kid."

"Waaah~ I can't eat anymore."

Still fast asleep, Senju Itama, thanks to his thick skin, was not woken up by being patted.

Uchiha Gin's eyes narrowed, locking onto the other person's round, plump little buttocks, and he slapped it without any mercy.

"Smack!!!"

The sound of the charged attack was extremely loud.

"Ahhhhh~~~"

A sudden burst of energy caused a miracle. Senju Itama, who had been sleeping like a log, jumped up in surprise, clutching his swollen buttocks, his face contorted with shame and indignation as he glared at the smug culprit. Steam was visible rising from his head.

"You pervert, I'll fight you to the death!"

Unable to tolerate it any longer, Senju Itama decided to take the despicable Uchiha down with him.

"Stop fooling around, we have serious business to discuss."

"How did it get so easily to the point of turning red?" Uchiha Gin said with a smile, pressing a finger against the furious Senju Itama.

"I'm moving."

"Huh? What about me?"

Upon hearing this, Senju Itama was taken aback at first, then blurted out,

"You're not staying here anymore, I'm moving out. This sofa is really uncomfortable to sleep on."

Uchiha Gin explained nonchalantly,

"Um, can I sleep on the sofa then?"

After holding back for a while, Senju Itama blurted out a sentence, then turned his head away and continued in an inexplicable tone.

"I'll sleep on the sofa, you can go to the bedroom, so you don't have to move out, right?"

That expression made it seem as if he had made a decision against his ancestors.

"You can't bear to part with me?"

Upon hearing that the other party had actually compromised and given up the right to use the bedroom, Uchiha Gin asked in surprise,

"I'm only doing this for the sweet and sour fish, don't be ungrateful!"

The stubborn Senju Itama found what he considered a perfect excuse for what he had just said.

"So, in your eyes, I'm just a cook?"

Uchiha Gin said with "deep sorrow".

"Otherwise, you don't think I have any other intentions towards you, do you?"

Senju Itama held his head high, staring at Uchiha Gin with disdain. He was a Senju, how could he have any feelings other than hatred towards an Uchiha?

"Tsk! That's why I hate brats."

Uchiha Gin clicked his tongue and shook his head wearily.

Ignoring the arrogant Senju Itama in front of him, Uchiha Gin gestured for a long time on the wall of the old house, and then, to the brat's astonishment, used his superhuman strength to strike the wall.

"Bang, boom~~~"

With a loud explosion, the old wall was punched through by Uchiha Gin, and with his superhuman strength, the wall collapsed instantly.

"If you're moving out, please don't demolish the house! What am I supposed to do?"

Senju Itama was furious when he saw the forced demolition and immediately kicked Uchiha Gin in the shin.

"Calm down, are all Senju clan members this impatient?"

Brushing the dust off his clothes, Uchiha Gin said helplessly. After the bloodline bonus rewarded by the system, his physique had made a great leap. He was no longer the weakling who could still lose a punch to the kid in front of him.

"what?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Gin's words, Senju Itama, who was still jumping up and down, finally turned his head to look at the wall that had been punched through.

The other side of the wall revealed a hidden world. The curious kid abandoned Uchiha Gin and scurried through the hole like a rabbit.

Wow~~~

Stunned by the other side of the wall, Senju Itama lost the ability to speak. Looking at the house decorations he had never seen before, he could only open his mouth and say "wah" in frustration.

The interior of this small villa was designed by Uchiha Gin based on the grand house from his previous life. Its avant-garde decorations far surpass those of the present era, which explains why Senju Itama, a native of the area, exclaimed in such amazement.

"This staircase is spiral? And what's that hanging thing for?"

Once she came to her senses, Senju Itama looked at the unfamiliar yet novel decor and started chattering away, asking all sorts of questions.

"Why are you asking so many questions? We're not even letting you stay here."

Uchiha Gin pressed down on Senju Itama, who was running around wildly, and announced with a smile while leaning on his head.

"No, I want to live in a new house too!"

Upon hearing that he was not destined to own this house, Senju Itama immediately lay down on the ground and started throwing a tantrum, shouting that the Uchiha were abusing prisoners and that there was no benefit to surrendering.

「＃」

Uchiha Gin was so agitated that he couldn't stand it anymore. An angry symbol appeared on his forehead, and he stretched out his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and gestured a few times in front of Senju Itama, who was crying, making a scene, and acting out.

"You need to understand your own identity."

Uchiha Gin's threat was very effective. The brat who had been spinning on the ground suddenly scrambled to his feet and darted back to the old house at lightning speed. He then poked his head out from behind the wall with a pitiful expression and said...

"Then what am I going to do about eating?"

Even if we can't move into a new house, we can't be without food.

"You can come over for meals, but you need to go back to your room tonight."

Adhering to the principle of not provoking the brat too much, Uchiha Gin appropriately loosened his restrictions.

"Yay!"

"Don't be too happy yet. You still have to clean this place during the day, or you won't get any food."

Of course, we can't let this little brat eat for free; cleaning such a big house is a difficult task.

"Did you hear that?"

"Uchiha Gin asked loudly."

"I heard you~"

Forced to compromise by the delicious food, Senju Itama had no choice but to abandon the dignity of the Senju clan, clenching his little fists and secretly making a vow in his heart.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate the poor!"
