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

Chapter 81 Time Flies Like an Arrow

"Card is already bound"

The Metabolic Accelerator card was never retrieved. After searching the kid's entire body except for his crotch, Uchiha Gin finally received the belated notification from the system.

Unexpectedly, Senju Itama accidentally activated this Hextech card, becoming its first and only owner.

Fortunately, it's just a yellow Hextech item, so it's not a big deal. Its effect is not as good as a piece of equipment, and it can only be bound to one. It's useless to Uchiha Gin. Just consider it a cleaning fee paid to this brat!

"Do you feel anything different?"

Pressing his forehead against the forehead of the brat who was blushing from being searched, Uchiha Gin asked curiously.

"Let me go! I'm going to bite you to death, you perverted gorilla!"

Ignoring Uchiha Gin's question, Senju Itama opened his mouth as if to bite Uchiha Gin's evil hand.

"Looks like you have a lot of energy!"

Skillfully dodging the brat's gaping mouth, Uchiha Gin stroked his chin and said, "If only I could see the chakra inside this kid."

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Uchiha Gin suddenly felt a chill in his eyes, and his vision instantly became very clear. When he looked at the snarling brat, he was startled.

Now, in his eyes, the meridians beneath Senju Itama's body were completely visible, and he could clearly see the chakra flowing through each meridian.

What's going on? Uchiha Gin raised his hands and discovered that his eyes seemed to have X-rays, allowing him to see through his skin and flesh and directly see the flow of chakra and the acupoints in various locations within his body.

"What happened to your eyes? How did you get cataracts?"

Senju Itama, who was originally extremely ashamed and indignant, found that Uchiha Gin was ignoring him and starting to stare blankly. He was about to go forward and teach him a lesson when he saw the other's eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

cataract?

Upon hearing the kid's words, Uchiha Gin quickly ran to the bathroom. In the mirror, his eyes were bluish-white, but there were no bulging veins around his temples as he remembered the Byakugan.

What is this? It's not like a Byakugan, but it has the abilities of a Byakugan.

Unable to fathom his intentions, Uchiha Gin emerged from the bathroom and saw Senju Kid not far away. He attempted to use his Byakugan to observe Kid's chakra.

To their astonishment, they then discovered that the brat's heart was filled with scorching chakra energy, which was continuously being supplied to all parts of his body.

This must be the effect of the metabolism booster. As long as this kid doesn't overdraw his life force, he should be able to live for a long time.

Thinking this through, Uchiha Gin felt much more at ease. He and Senju Itama had bound their lives together through a mission; if he failed to complete it, even if the Senju brat died peacefully of old age, he would still be considered a mission failure and would ultimately be eliminated by the system.

Now that's great, the little devil with the metabolic booster should be able to live a long time, so the cycle of this task can be extended indefinitely.

Uchiha Gin had checked the system's assigned tasks before. Since the last upgrade, the task system had been in a long dormant state, with only one task, "Rescue Senju Itama," hanging in the huge task list.

The task suffix also indicates "prerequisites," and clicking on it will prompt the system that the next task cannot be performed without completing the prerequisite tasks.

"Little devil, may your happiness be as boundless as the Eastern Sea and your longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountains!"

"If any life-saving gear comes out in the future, put it on this kid first." With a clear mind, Uchiha Gin walked over, patted the still sulking Senju Itama's head, and said earnestly.

Senju Itama: ? ? ?

In the days that followed, Uchiha Gin enjoyed a rare and pleasant vacation. Apart from his two younger cousins ​​visiting each day, no one else came to visit, which made him happy to have some peace and quiet.

"Indeed, Izuna, your skill with hidden weapons is indeed superior to mine. Your cousin is ashamed to admit his inferiority."

Uchiha Gin, yawning, gave a perfunctory bow, then looked at Uchiha Izuna beside him, who was gripping a sword in his hand, and felt a sudden pang of unease.

"Cousin, are you happy to tease me like this every day?"

Izuna, who was tricked by Uchiha Gin into coming here to grind for power every day, had long seen through the other party's tricks. He was just teasing him. He would say that he couldn't beat him here, that he was inferior to him there, and would often say things like "I would call you the strongest" and so on.

At first, he was smug, but then he gradually realized something was wrong; this guy was just making fun of him.

"Oh dear, how could that be? My cousin is a prodigy; it's perfectly normal for him to narrowly defeat me."

Uchiha Gin didn't want his best sparring partner to run away, so he quickly explained.

"Hmph! I'll never fight you again."

Izuna pouted and declined Uchiha Gin's subsequent challenge, then casually mentioned his father's instructions.

"Oh, by the way, Father wants you to go see him today."

Walking through Uchiha Tajima's mansion, Uchiha Gin pondered why his uncle had summoned him. Could it be about the sealing matter?

"Knock knock knock~"

Knock on the door of the clan chief's study.

"Come in."

A familiar voice rang out, and Uchiha Gin pushed open the door and entered.

Uchiha Tajima sat at his desk, furiously scribbling and correcting documents. He glanced up at his nephew, then put down his pen and slowly said...

"Ah Yin, are you almost fully recovered?"

"It's all better now."

Uchiha Gin nodded.

"Then you should go to work!"

It turned out they were urging him to go to work. Although he had already tricked Uchiha Ryōzai into finishing the work in the dungeon, new prisoners were coming in every day and old prisoners were dying, so the update of the files could not be delayed.

"Okay! I'll go back to work tomorrow."

Knowing he could no longer slack off, Uchiha Gin immediately obeyed orders. Since he couldn't fool his little cousin Gon anymore, going back to the dungeon to grind Gon was exactly what he wanted.

"Alright, you can go now."

After staring into Uchiha Gin's eyes for a long time, Uchiha Tajima, who seemed hesitant to speak, lowered his head and waved for him to leave, while he continued working.

His cousin seemed to want to say something to him, but in the end he didn't speak. Uchiha Gin, who could clearly see that Uchiha Tajima had something to say, scratched his curly hair and gave up thinking. Anyway, things would work themselves out, and he would say what he wanted to say when he wanted to.

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

For the next few years, Uchiha Gin worked in the dungeon as usual. During this time, he asked Uchiha Yan to transfer Uchiha Lucha to be his secretary and hand over the file work to him. He himself spent his days in the first and second dungeons, diligently grinding for materials.

Before going to work, he would first grind for the NPC, and after get off work, the first thing he would do was go to the backyard to wait for the NPC. Over the years, he had grinded for the young Sasuke hundreds of times, collected hundreds of Indra fragments, several C-rank fire jutsu, and the ninjutsu Chidori that he had been longing for.

However, it wasn't always Sasuke who appeared. Occasionally, a few ninjas who had appeared in the original work would also appear. For example, the mentors of the Twelve Konoha ninjas appeared quite a few times, and he gained a lot of ninjutsu and secret techniques. The biggest gain for him was a certain masked white-haired guy, who actually dropped a [Kamui Fragment]. However, he didn't appear often, and he always dropped a Earth Flow Wall with a dog's head inlaid on it.

In the backyard

Uchiha Gin raised his hand, and lightning flashed in his hand with a sharp crack. Seeing a voluptuous and beautiful woman appear in the distance, Uchiha Gin rushed over without hesitation. His Chidori sword was aimed straight at the woman's chest, but before it could touch her full softness, it was blocked by her fair and delicate arm.

Looking up at the woman's beautiful face and light yellow hair, Uchiha Gin frowned. The script wasn't right. Several times before, she had taken him down with a single Chidori, and then some kind of medical ninjutsu like [Henjutsu Fragment] or [Chakra Scalpel Fragment] would have appeared. Why was she so powerful today?

A diamond-shaped mark flashed on the woman's forehead, and a black curse mark emerged from it. As the curse mark spread faster, adhering to the principle of not catching bastards with a lingering effect, Uchiha Gin's eyes changed color, and his Byakugan, glowing with blue light, scanned the woman who was casting the spell.

"Found it! Your Achilles' heel!"
