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

Chapter 77 I was careless and didn't flash.

"You despicable Thousand Hands brat, you Forest Thousand Hands might as well change your name to Thief Thousand Hands."

Uchiha Gin dodged the kunai that was shot at him and said with a mocking expression.

Senju Butsuma, seeing that his attack had missed, frowned and began to look directly at the curly-haired Uchiha in front of him. He had clearly made a mistake even when he was walking on water, yet he had been able to detect his premeditated sneak attack.

"All warfare is based on deception!"

Holding a cleaver bigger than himself, the white-haired brat roared, looking at the Uchiha members present with utter disgust.

"Breathing the same air as you evil Uchiha is torture for me."

As expected of the songstress of Konoha, she has been quick-witted since childhood.

Senju Butsuma's attack failed, and he quickly thought to himself that he had to succeed before Uchiha Tajima could react.

With a clap of his hands, his chakra exploded, and his fist, infused with monstrous strength, slammed down towards the weakened young Madara.

This old man still wouldn't give up, trying to send his little brother away right under his nose. Uchiha Gin naturally wouldn't let him succeed, and his eyes instantly turned red.

The movements of Thousand Hands Buddha slowed down frame by frame in the eyes of the three tomoe, revealing the trajectory of the opponent's attack.

"Trying to mess with my little brother? Did you even ask me?"

He dodged in front of the two little devils, crossing his arms to try and block their attack.

It wasn't until Senju Butsuma's fist actually struck him that Uchiha Gin understood what his uncle had just said.

The gap between the two is simply too great.

Uchiha Gin thought that with the system's rewards, his strength was enough to stand firm in the Warring States period, and he became somewhat complacent.

Now, a simple punch from Senju Butsuma has made him realize this reality.

"Crack!"

A brutal, immense force struck him. Uchiha Gin stared in disbelief as his forearms snapped in two, his chest caved in by the residual force of the punch, alarm bells blaring in his mind, and the aura of death looming over him.

Uchiha Gin, covered in blood, flew backward, leaving a vivid trail of blood in the air.

"Host failed. Gained 14 Anima. The Heart Steel Treasure Chest reward can be unlocked after another battle. (Current total Anima: 36)"

He received a system notification while flying in mid-air.

"A-Gin!" (щ(゜ロ゜щ))

"Cousin!" x2 (Д)ノ((()))

Seeing Uchiha Gin barely breathing after being punched by him, Senju Butsuma was somewhat taken aback. How could this hothead of the Uchiha dare to take his punch head-on? He knew that his nickname "Unrivaled Iron Fist" was not for nothing.

"The despicable and shameless Senju clan!"

Picking up the heavily injured Uchiha Gin, Uchiha Tajima's eyes blazed with fury. His crimson Sharingan stared intently at the culprit, and as his emotions surged, the three tomoe in his eyes spun rapidly, as if they were about to connect.

"Cousin! Please don't die!"

Izuna cried uncontrollably, lying helplessly beside Uchiha Gin, a red glint flashing in his tear-filled eyes. Madara, on the other hand, clenched his fists, his hateful gaze wishing he could devour the Senju clan members before him alive.

"Cough cough cough..."

Uchiha Gin's injuries looked quite serious, but thanks to the Uzumaki clan's constitution, the bleeding had stopped, and he only needed to have the broken bones set to fully recover.

"It wasn't for nothing that I've always taken such good care of you two."

He spat out the blood clot stuck in his mouth, and after recovering a little, he said with relief to his two younger cousins ​​who were showing genuine emotion.

"Ah Yin, don't move yet, wait for me to take you back for treatment."

Uchiha Tajima was startled to discover that Uchiha Gin could still speak. Fearing this was a final burst of energy before death, he didn't want to linger in the fight. His immediate priority was to heal his severely injured nephew.

"Thousand-Armed Butsuma, next time we meet, it'll be either you or me!"

Uchiha Tajima carefully picked up Uchiha Gin and looked up at Senju Butsuma, who was lurking in the distance, and said...

"Those eyes!"

Senju Butsuma, who originally intended to take advantage of Uchiha's illness to kill him, suddenly noticed the strange patterns in Uchiha Tajima's eyes not far away, and forcibly stopped himself from making a move.

"Tobirama, Hashirama, retreat."

He was not afraid to fight Uchiha Tajima alone, but his two remaining sons were present. If a battle broke out, the earth would collapse and the surrounding area would be barren. Even if a winner could be determined in the end, his children would not escape death.

Upon hearing his father's order, Tobirama, the white-haired man, looked at the group of people in front of him unwillingly. However, he could sense the thick, cold chakra rising from the Uchiha clan leader opposite him, and knew that the outcome of the fight would be uncertain. So, he left with his father without looking back.

"Madara, I'm sorry."

Hashirama, with a look of apology on his face, looked at his former best friend across from him, silently apologizing in his heart. After a lingering glance, he also left.

After the Senju members left, Uchiha Tajima closed his Sharingan, and stumbled.

The price of forcibly activating it was a sudden emptiness in his body. Just now, in order to intimidate Senju Butsuma, he had to forcibly activate the Mangekyou Sharingan. Fortunately, the other party was hesitant to act rashly, otherwise, if a real fight had broken out, Uchiha Gin and the two children would have been hard-pressed to escape unscathed.

"Quickly return to your clan's territory."

The three of them ran towards the clan's territory as if the wind was blowing on their feet.

Soon after returning to the clan's territory, Uchiha Gin was immediately taken to the medical station. Uchiha Tajima stared intently at the doctor and said coldly,

"You must save him, or you'll go down and join him."

The doctor, who was terrified, hurriedly pushed Uchiha Gin into the operating room and found that the injured man had been hit head-on by a carriage, with all the bones in his arms and chest broken. Fortunately, his internal organs were not punctured by the bones, so the operation began immediately.

a few hours later

"How come this guy's vital signs are so stable? He doesn't look like he's seriously injured at all."

Inside the operating room, the doctor, having just finished the surgery, looked at Uchiha Gin, whose breathing had stabilized, and said something strange.

"The patient is out of danger and only needs to rest to fully recover."

The doctor, having pushed open the operating room door and removed his mask, addressed the anxious people waiting outside.

"Very good!"

Upon hearing that Uchiha Gin was alright, Izuna jumped three feet high.

"Hmph, I knew this guy wouldn't die so easily."

Madara Uchiha, his eyes brimming with joy, turned his head and said arrogantly.

"Are you sure it's okay? Could it cause my old injury to flare up again?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tajima's eyes lit up at first, then he seemed to realize something and quickly pressed for an answer.

"I didn't find any signs of old injuries."

The surgeon carefully recalled the incident and found that he indeed did not find any old injuries on Uchiha Gin's body; on the contrary, he was unusually robust.

After listening to the doctor's words, Uchiha Tajima fell into thought. It seemed that Uchiha Miao still needed to examine how Gin's body had recovered.

"Madara and Izuna, you two will be responsible for taking care of Gin from now on."

Since Uchiha Gin was unharmed, and Uchiha Tajima was too busy to stay any longer, he handed over the care to his two sons and hurriedly left.

"Leave it to me, I'll take absolutely care of my cousin and make sure he's healthy and plump!"

There will be another chapter later.
