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

Chapter 85 The Little Demon Who Rebels Against Heaven

Helplessly turning his head, he saw the old jailer, Wang Liang, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, standing on the dark shadow behind him. His gray body looked extremely eerie and terrifying in the darkness, and the black light shining in his eyes sent chills down his spine.

"Now?"

Uchiha Gin sighed inwardly. He had almost completely forgotten about this old man, so why did he come knocking on his door at this time?

Wang Liang nodded expressionlessly, then transformed into a ball of black mud and engulfed Uchiha Gin before disappearing into the darkness of the corridor.

Uchiha Gin, shrouded in black mud, rubbed his chin with a headache. He really didn't want to have anything to do with the relentlessly suicidal Mugen and the insane Uchiha Yao anymore.

I thought that after six years of no contact, this old man had long since passed away, but I never expected that he was still alive.

Before Uchiha Gin could even begin to consider whether to unleash an Amaterasu attack on Wanryo, he found himself in a completely different setting, once again in the abandoned dungeon where Uchiha Yao was being held.

The once robust old man was now hunched over, his face etched with frighteningly deep wrinkles, and his only remaining eye was tinged with a pale gray. He exuded an aura of death, as if he were about to pass away at any moment.

"A-Yin, I'm about to die."

The old man saw Uchiha Gin being brought in, and with some difficulty raised his head, his hoarse voice devoid of any emotion.

"Cough cough, I have a premonition of my death, but I am not reconciled. I have not yet witnessed the destruction of Uchiha Tajima."

"But there's nothing I can do, I can't beat Uchiha Tajima."

When Uchiha Gin heard the old man start to play the victim, he spread his hands to indicate that he was powerless to help.

"Has that mission already begun?"

The old man ignored Uchiha Gin's shameless behavior and changed the subject, bringing up the mission.

"What mission?"

Uchiha Gin's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he wore an expression of not understanding.

"Hehe, you don't need to play dumb. Wang Liang already told me that Uchiha Tajima shared that mission with you today, right?"

The old man didn't dwell too much on Uchiha Gin's performance; instead, he was more concerned about the progress of the mission.

"Wang Liang?" Gin Uchiha glanced at the silent old jailer standing in the corner of the wall, and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart.

This guy actually managed to hide right under his nose and eavesdrop on his conversation with Uchiha Tajima without him noticing at all.

"That's right, Uchiha Tajima told me about that mission today."

Seeing that he could no longer deceive them, Uchiha Gin had no choice but to confess, then casually mentioned it as if nothing had happened.

"Has this clone of yours been lurking around Uchiha Tajima, passing on information to you?"

"Don't try to trick me. Wangliang is an embodiment of my will. He knows everything about me and is fully aware of everything that is happening outside."

Uchiha Yao said with an arrogant expression, as if everything was under his control.

"Is he really going to tell me everything?" Gin Uchiha thought to himself, glancing at the statue-like old jailer. "This guy is definitely up to no good. He's still keeping this old man in the dark."

"This is our last chance. I will arrange for Wangliang to go with you. You will never be able to find out his hiding methods. At that time, you only need to control the released Mumei, and the three of you can attack from both sides. We will definitely make Uchiha Tajima die without a burial place."

Gintoki Uchiha refused to team up with the supposedly filial son disguised as a demon, as he currently lacked any means to suppress him.

As a filial son created by Yin-Yang Release, he could not be completely eliminated by ordinary means. He only regretted that he was not an ordinary person who could hold Black Zetsu with a knife.

"Okay, okay, I'll try my best."

Uchiha Gin, who had no motivation whatsoever, said perfunctorily that he had to find a way to wake up this old man, otherwise he would be constantly being fooled by the clown and would be dragging his old bones around thinking about revenge every day.

After giving his instructions, Uchiha Yao sat back down in his chair, closed his eyes to signal that the guest had to leave, and Wang Liang rolled up Uchiha Gin again and sent him out of the dungeon.

"What a hassle!"

Uchiha Gin, who finally managed to exploit the immortality bug, has been having a lot of bad luck these past few days.

Sometimes he really wanted to hide away with Senju Itama in a deserted place and live a quiet life, but since he had finally managed to travel through time, he wanted to meet all the interesting characters from the original work.

Having suppressed the thought of escaping, Uchiha Gin strolled along the streets of the Uchiha clan compound, scratching his curly hair, when he suddenly spotted two familiar figures in the distance.

Senju Itama and a girl with long purple hair were squatting together at a stall, picking out something.

Out of curiosity, Uchiha Gin quietly went over to find out what was going on.

"Sister Zhili, don't you think this doll is cute?"

Senju Itama excitedly hugged a green doll and tried his best to recommend it to the purple-haired girl next to him. However, judging from the doll's design, it might not be popular with the girl, since no girl likes a caterpillar.

"It's quite cute; this bug will surely turn into a beautiful butterfly."

Contrary to his expectations, the purple-haired girl did not show any sign of refusal. Instead, she gently accepted the doll, examined it carefully, and then spoke.

Surprisingly, the purple-haired girl also liked the caterpillar doll, prompting Uchiha Gin, who was hiding nearby, to sigh that birds of a feather flock together.

"Boss, two, please!"

Seeing that the girl's taste was just as good as his, Senju Itama waved his hand and bought two, mainly because he was rich and capricious.

"Alright, that'll be 14,000 taels."

The shopkeeper was overjoyed to have such a big customer. He quickly wrapped up the two caterpillar plush toys and handed them over, while Senju Itama readily paid for them.

"Welcome to visit again next time~"

The boss smiled as he counted the banknotes in his hand, his red hair standing out conspicuously in the crowd.

"Sister Zhili, this one is for you."

With a smile, Senju Itama placed a caterpillar doll into the purple-haired girl's arms, and before she could refuse, he continued speaking.

"Anyway, it's not my money, so just accept it. It's better to spend that guy's money than not."

"You little brat, you're using my money to pick up girls and then you're making fun of me? Take this righteous slap on the head!"

Upon hearing Senju Itama's rebellious remarks, Uchiha Gin, who was standing nearby, finally couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward to punish this brat who was not Hyuga but was even more like Hyuga than Hyuga.

"what?"

Caught off guard, Senju Itama immediately deflated upon seeing Uchiha Gin. However, the Senju clan is known for its toughness; even if their bodies yielded, their words would not soften.

"You curly-haired baboon, instead of going to work in broad daylight, you're stalking underage girls! What a pervert!"

"ha?"

When did I start stalking underage girls? Uchiha Gin was completely baffled by Senju Itama's question.

"I mean, you actually followed Sister Zhili. No wonder you're thirty years old and have never had a girlfriend. So you have this kind of fetish."

Realizing he had misspoke, Senju Itama stammered, his eyes darting around. He then pushed forward the bewildered purple-haired girl beside him and righteously condemned Uchiha Gin's actions.

"So Mr. Yin is this kind of person after all!"
