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

Chapter 93 Time Has Passed, Things Have Changed, You Are No Longer the Boy You Were Back Then

The girl, caught up in EMO, started having wild thoughts. Just then, she heard noises outside again. Learning from her previous experience, this time the girl was not careless and listened carefully.

"Dare to do it alone, the seal will be easily obtained."

The girl, who had roughly grasped the meaning, instantly perked up. At that moment, she could sense that the stagnant time around her was beginning to flow again, and she was back on the normal timeline. She would soon be free!

The ecstatic girl was preparing to push open the coffin lid that had sealed her for so long, but she hesitated when the charcoal-black fingers touched it.

Looking down at her naked body and smelling the burnt hair, the hand that was about to push the door away instantly switched sides, gripping the coffin lid tightly to prevent it from being opened.

At this moment, Uchiha Gin, who was outside, raised his head in confusion and looked at Uchiha Tajima not far away, and said,

"Uncle, it's me."

"I understand. You two haven't seen each other for so many years, you must have a lot to talk about. I won't disturb you any longer."

Misunderstanding Uchiha Tajima, with a forced smile on his face, turned and jumped out of the pit, walking away into the distance, thinking of giving the two young people some private space.

I'm truly a great uncle in the ninja world.

"Huh? No, I meant why can't I open this thing?"

Watching Uchiha Tajima's decisive retreating figure, Uchiha Gin muttered to himself, somewhat speechless.

Fortunately, my uncle avoided the question, so I can roll my eyes and see what's going on.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Gin activated his mutated Byakugan again, glanced at the stone sarcophagus, and then immediately turned his head away, muttering to himself.

"Why is it still the same? I remember turning the power down!"

He glanced over and saw another ordinary-looking girl. He had deliberately lowered the penetrating power of his Byakugan to avoid suspicion; it should be said that it could only see through a coffin lid. It seems that he needs to study these eyes carefully.

Sigh! Uchiha Gin would rather question whether there was something wrong with his eyes than suspect that there was something wrong with the girl.

"I did it to save people, I did it to save people..."

Uchiha Gin used self-hypnosis, then opened his eyes with a clear, holy gaze, calmly scanning the stone sarcophagus to check for any hidden traps for sealing people.

The girl inside the stone coffin sensed something and, for some reason, had the illusion of being spied on. She subconsciously loosened her grip to protect her private parts.

"There is no trace of chakra."

Uchiha Gin rubbed his eyes in confusion, making sure there were no hidden tricks. He forced himself not to look into the scene inside the stone coffin and once again reached out and gripped the coffin lid tightly.

This kind of thing is all about the unity of waist and stance, stabilizing the lower body with a proper horse stance, and continuously channeling chakra into the arms.

Uchiha Gin held his breath, his arms bulging with veins and muscles.

Get up!!!

Something completely unexpected happened: the coffin lid, which had been incredibly heavy, suddenly became lighter. Uchiha Gin, who had exerted too much force, was sent flying backwards while still holding the coffin lid, crashing heavily to the ground.

"My back! My brand-new, zero-wear, super-strong back is amazing!"

Now, he couldn't care less about the stone coffin. Uchiha Ginki, clutching his waist and writhing on the ground, wailed miserably.

"Um, that voice?"

In the darkness, she heard the voice she had longed for, but the tone and manner of speaking were completely different from the person in her memory. The girl, who was carefully huddled in the stone coffin, quietly peeked out and looked towards the source of the voice.

Uchiha Gin, who was still lying on the ground clutching his kidneys, felt a burning gaze and subconsciously looked over, only to see a black sea urchin-headed creature trembling in the stone coffin.

It was discovered!

The girl was startled to see that the person lying there was not the boy she remembered. As he raised his head, she quickly shrank back in fright.

Unfortunately, the aftereffects of the electrotherapy had not yet subsided; the girl's long black hair was now shaped like a sea urchin, and the small stone sarcophagus could no longer contain her.

"I can see you!"

Uchiha Gin got up, dusted himself off, and gave what he thought was a warm smile, thinking of giving the Hikaru from his memories a wonderful reunion.

"Don't come any closer!"

Before Uchiha Gin could get close, a terrified voice came from inside the stone sarcophagus.

"If you dare come any closer, I won't be polite!"

Tsk, she's even shy now.

Uchiha Gin chuckled. It seemed the other party hadn't recognized him, so he decided to give the girl he hadn't seen for many years a big surprise.

Inclined stealthily towards the stone sarcophagus, Uchiha Gin, with a smile, poked his head inside and softly spoke,

"Welcome back, little one. Hey, hey? Hey!~~~ Who are you?"

What he saw was not the quiet and intellectual girl he remembered, but an unidentified creature that was completely naked, covered in black, and sporting a sea urchin-shaped hairstyle.

As he launched into a barrage of questions, the girl, who had been crouching with her head in her hands, looked up in astonishment and saw a face looming in front of her. Before she could even make out what it was, her pent-up shame and indignation suddenly erupted.

"Go to hell!"

While Uchiha Gin was still in shock, the girl in the stone coffin had already made her move with hatred. The eyes of the dark, unidentified creature turned crimson, and a familiar pattern appeared in her eyes.

A pair of large, cherry-red hands quietly reached out from behind the girl, grabbed Uchiha Gin who was still in shock, and lifted him up from behind.

"If I kill you, Ah Yin won't know about this, hehe."

The dark creature was emanating visible black energy, startling Uchiha Gin who was caught off guard.

"Waaaah, I'm a law-abiding citizen!"

Uchiha Gin, who was suddenly grabbed, almost couldn't breathe. He looked in surprise at the cherry-red skeleton that emerged from behind the dark creature. Uchiha Gin quickly explained that since this move had been used, the identity of this strange creature was obvious.

"Hikaru! Hikaru! It's me, Gin!"

Unexpectedly, this seal has the effect of changing skins, directly giving the girl a limited-edition skin from the Land of Lightning.

"Huh? Ah Yin?"

The girl, who had fallen into darkness, originally intended to kill someone to silence them, but unexpectedly, the person she captured called out her name and even claimed to be Gin.

After calming her chaotic emotions, the girl released Susanoo's large hand slightly, revealing the face of the person being held inside.

"Hmph, you old bastard, how dare you impersonate Gintoki! I'll make you taste what the Tsukuyomi torture is all about!"

This guy in my hand actually has the nerve to call himself Gintoki. Doesn't he even look in the mirror at his own pathetic appearance? My Gintoki is a sunny, cheerful, gentle, and warm-hearted boy from the dance world.

The girl fondly recalled the unparalleled elegance of the boy in her heart, then looked disdainfully at the old man inside the stone coffin, peeking out from behind it.

After I've dealt with this guy, I'll get all dressed up and go find my Ah Yin.

"No, no, I really am Gin!"

Feeling the increasing pressure on his body, Uchiha Gin panicked. He wasn't sure if his three-piece suit could withstand Susanoo, but his immediate priority was to convince the girl that he was Gin.

"Xiao Guang, you came to my house to play when you were five and even wet your pants! When you were six, you fell into the river while playing there, and I saved you! And when you were seven..."

In an attempt to prove his identity, Uchiha Gin began to expose the girl's dirty secrets, trying to evoke her memories.

"Hmm~?"

The girl paused in her actions as she manipulated Susanoo, her crimson eyes filled with confusion as she peeked out. These were things only she and A-Yin knew, yet this person before her knew so much. Could it be...?

"Tell me quickly, what have you done to my Ah Yin?!"

Susanoo's massive hand tightened abruptly, and Uchiha Gin, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was once again squeezed until his vision blurred.

"My whole life has been like walking on thin ice."
