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

Chapter 86 AI technology is really good.

My name is Uchiha Ryougi, and I'm twelve years old. My father died the year I was born, and my mother is just an ordinary housewife.

Six years ago, when I was doing errand running to supplement my family's income, I met a very interesting girl and we became good friends.

Upon hearing his friend's explosive remark, Uchiha Rinko's small face showed surprise. He looked up at Uchiha Gin in front of him, his expression troubled, and his tone hesitant.

"Mr. Yin, if you really have this idea, please be patient for a few years. I'll speak now."

"Ugh! It's all your fault for talking nonsense, you brat!"

Uchiha Gin grabbed the culprit who caused the misunderstanding, his veins throbbing on his forehead, his hands clenched into fists, looking ready to teach the kid a lesson.

"No! Help me, Doctor!"

Having experienced the iron fist of punishment firsthand, Senju Itama knew exactly what it felt like, and in a panic, he cried out for help to his best friend.

Unexpectedly, the other person had a cryptic smile on their gentle face, and their eyes were narrowed, with a hint of darkness emanating from them.

"Oh my, Itama and Gin-san have such a good relationship."

Resting his chin on his hand, Uchiha Rinpoche tilted his head and said with an "envious" look, "There's a price to pay for letting your friend take the bullet for you."

No! I shouldn't have opened my heart to the evil Uchiha. All Uchiha are black inside. Senju Itama looked at his most trusted friend in despair and shed tears of regret.

"Achoo~, that kid Firecore is really unlucky. I finally managed to get my hands on some fresh stuff."

The good-natured boy, secretly flipping through a book covered in mosaics in the dungeon, wiped his nose.

"Little Zhili, I'll take the subdivided flat home for now. Come visit me sometime; I've prepared a lot of candy."

A refreshed Uchiha Gin hoisted the foaming-at-the-mouth Senju Itama onto his shoulder, turned to Uchiha Osamu who had been watching the show, and said with a smile, "The hardworking, capable, and understanding Osamu is simply Uchiha Gin's dream girl."

High judgment.

I glanced at Senju Itama on my shoulder; that kid was a complete bastard.

"Okay, follow Mr. Crazy Silver."

???

Seeing Uchiha Gin's bewildered expression, the purple-clad girl covered her mouth in surprise and whispered apologetically,

"Oops, I accidentally blurted out what was on my mind."

This place is not safe to stay in. Uchiha Gin took Senju Itama home, threw the unconscious kid on the bed, and left without looking back.

Senju Itama, who was still unconscious, twitched his ears and quietly opened his eyes after hearing the door close. His eyes revealed a complex emotion.

Back in his bedroom, Uchiha Gin began preparing for tomorrow's mission. He reached into the bag given to him by the system and pulled out a bunch of equipment. He checked them one by one, finally choosing three pieces, and then put the rest of the equipment away.

"These three pieces shouldn't be sold out in a flash, right?"

Uchiha Gin stroked his chin, looking at the equipment he had chosen with satisfaction.

On the left is the Thorn Vest he obtained the first time, in the middle is the Dragon Claw Necklace, and on the far right is a wooden armor he obtained later.

"It's a pity I can only wear three layers, otherwise I could take off right there."

The equipment produced by the system has wearing restrictions; wearing more than three pieces will have no effect.

Let's test the defense effect first.

Uchiha Gin wore a thorn vest as inner armor, a wooden berserker's armor on the outside, and a dragon claw around his neck.

Once he was fully equipped, he felt the strong life force emanating from the gear, which greatly increased his sense of security.

After arriving in the backyard and stretching my body, I found that the equipment did not put any burden on my body and felt as light as a feather.

Just as he was warming up, the air in the backyard suddenly stopped, and a familiar light screen appeared out of thin air, bringing with it an unfamiliar figure.

A new character has appeared!

Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow, staring at the NPC that had appeared before him, waiting motionless for the other to make a move.

This NPC has long, straight black hair, a cold and handsome face that is unusually pale, and pupils that are not like those of an ordinary person but rather elongated like snake eyes. His face appears bewitching and eerie with the addition of purple eyeshadow.

This is the first time I've encountered Snake Lady; I wonder what skills I can learn from her.

Uchiha Gin, who recognized the NPC's identity at a glance, thought to himself with a smile. With his current strength, he could easily crush most NPCs. It had been a long time since he had fought a worthy opponent.

50/50: ? ? ?

Kai: Okay, okay, next time I'll just use Night Kai.

The Orochimaru that appeared had dull, lifeless eyes, just like any other NPC. It was just a mystery why he hadn't moved an inch after appearing for so long.

"Hey hey hey, did it spawn a training dummy?"

After waiting for a while without any attack, Uchiha Gin curiously stepped forward, intending to check if there was something wrong with the NPC.

Just as his outstretched finger was about to touch Orochimaru, who was standing there dumbfounded, Orochimaru suddenly stopped, and his snake-like eyes became bright. Uchiha Gin was shocked and took a few steps back.

Frowning as he looked at Orochimaru who was beginning to form hand seals, Gin Uchiha felt a few doubts. He had clearly seen a fleeting, awkward smile in the NPC's eyes just now.

Before he could think, Uchiha Silver Hair found a large shadow suddenly appearing in front of him and attacking him. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was countless venomous snakes surging towards him like a tide.

【The Formation of Ten Thousand Snakes】

One of Orochimaru's signature ninjutsu in his early days, but the venomous snakes that came at him were really not enough for the current Uchiha Gin, although in terms of horror, they far surpassed the others.

It is not very harmful, but it is extremely frightening.

With the mindset of testing the equipment, Uchiha Gin suppressed his discomfort, held his breath, raised his hands to protect his face, and faced the horde of snakes head-on.

Feeling the foul-smelling, cold venomous snakes slither across his body, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but get goosebumps all over.

However, he didn't feel his body being eaten by the venomous snake. He glanced at it and was surprised to find that the snake's fangs couldn't even break through his defenses.

A faint blue halo rose from the Madman's Armor, enveloping his entire body and blocking all the venomous fangs from entering.

Now, Uchiha Gin lowered his hands with peace of mind and calmly waited for the snake tide to end.

Orochimaru's Ten Thousand Snake Formation lasted a full ten minutes before ending. Looking at Orochimaru lowering his hand at the end of the snake tide, Uchiha Gin picked his ear and said with a smile.

"That's it? That's it?"

Whether the other party understood the sarcasm or not, Orochimaru, who had just stopped, raised his hand again to form hand seals, preparing to strike again.

Goodbye!

Having already suffered enough, Uchiha Gin didn't want to repeat what had just happened. He conjured a long spear crackling with lightning in his hand, aimed it at Orochimaru in the distance, and softly spoke.

【Chidori Stream - Divine Spear】

The lightning spear in his hand suddenly grew larger and pierced through Orochimaru's chest the next second, who was just about to spit out a snake.

Before being reclaimed by the light screen, Uchiha Gin vaguely saw the fallen Orochimaru reveal a knowing expression.

Is AI technology advancing that fast?

This wasn't the first time they'd noticed strange behavior from the spawned NPCs. Uchiha Ginjo was completely baffled. Could it be that these NPCs were starting to use AI technology too?
