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

Chapter 98 I was just saying, how did you all believe me?

"Master, I think this kid is just playing you."

Wang Liang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly started stirring things up, his dark face revealing no emotion.

"We're having a family conversation, can outsiders please not interrupt?"

Uchiha Gin picked his nose and retorted in a very irritating way.

Wang Liang's fists hardened. Why are the descendants of Indra becoming more and more difficult to deal with? They're nothing like Uchiha Yao, who was so easy to fool.

"You're the one who made Hikaru like that, aren't you!"

Before Wanryo could speak again, Uchiha Gin pointed the finger directly at him, saying that Hikaru's transformation into that state was definitely the work of this filial son.

"Hehehe, guess what I am?"

Faced with Uchiha Gin's accusations, Mikoto was just about to speak in a roundabout way when...

"That's right!"

My teammates immediately typed GG first.

Hey, hey, hey, I just relaxed my mental control a little, and this old man started to go crazy and expose himself.

"It was I who ordered Wanliang to control the nameless one, but I didn't expect her strength to be weakened so severely after being sealed, that even you couldn't defeat her."

No, I just unleashed her dark side. I don't have time to control that brat right now.

"Your role-playing is quite professional; your portrayal of a yandere is incredibly lifelike."

Upon hearing Uchiha Yao's revelation that the girl from earlier was actually controlled by Wang Liang, Uchiha Gin, admiring her acting skills, immediately gave this professional mastermind a little red heart.

"Stop wasting time, Gin. You must have used up a lot of energy fighting Nameless. That ninjutsu alone must have drained all your chakra, right?"

Mistaking Uchiha Gin for someone who was stalling for time to recover his chakra, Uchiha Yao mercilessly exposed his little scheme.

"Heh, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. I only have a tiny bit of chakra left."

Unable to guess why the opponent could still look so confident in a 2v3 situation, Uchiha Gin decided to put his acting skills to use. He immediately put on a panicked expression and reluctantly nodded to admit that he was weak.

"It's alright, Ah Yin, you step back, I'll handle them."

Uchiha Tajima stepped forward, shielding him behind him, and said calmly.

"I'm sorry, Gin, it's all my fault."

The naive Hikaru believed Uchiha Gin's words, lowered her head, tugged at Uchiha Gin's sleeve, and whispered with great self-reproach.

The reactions of the two left Uchiha Gin speechless. His acting skills were just as good as Miyako's. He didn't know if he had fooled the enemy, but his own teammates had believed him first.

"Whoosh whoosh!!!"

Uchiha Tajima threw out a few shuriken at lightning speed as a test, while Uchiha Yao and his companion stood still, watching the rapidly spinning shuriken with cold smiles.

"They're completely unmoved?"

Seeing that the two people were neither dodging nor avoiding him, Uchiha Tajima felt a sense of unease.

"Wangliang, Chief Tajima underestimates us."

Uchiha Yao slightly straightened his hunched back, glanced at the black clone beside him, and made it clear,

Wang Liang, who was standing to the side, naturally understood what Uchiha Yao meant and immediately sank into the shadows on the ground.

Just as the shuriken hurtling towards Uchiha Yao was about to strike, it suddenly and strangely hovered in mid-air, as if space itself had solidified. Then, a strange old man in black and white quietly emerged from the darkness.

"And who is this guy?"

Uchiha Tajima, seeing the strange stranger who had appeared out of nowhere, asked in a cold voice.

"This is the true form of the Mirage, a ghostly assassin."

Like most villains, Uchiha Yao, confident of victory and with a hint of excitement, began his narration.

Uchiha Gin, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, looked thoughtfully at the old jailer who had appeared. This guy seemed to be the real creation of the eye technique, and as for the form of that black mud, those who know, know, so I won't go into details.

Vigilantly observing the old prison guard who exuded a cold and eerie aura, Uchiha Tajima activated his Sharingan, staring intently at the lifeless man.

Hehehe

The old jailer let out a few eerie laughs, then disappeared back into the shadows of the ground.

Drawing his long-unused longsword, Uchiha Tajima used his Sharingan to search for the old jailer, but found nothing.

"What are you looking for?"

A hoarse voice suddenly rang in his ears. Without hesitation, Uchiha Tajima swung his long sword and slashed behind him, only to find that his blade struck thin air.

Hehehe

The sound came from below again, and Uchiha Tajima lowered his head in surprise.

The eerie old jailer's head emerged from his shadow, his gray eyes filled with mockery. He swung his knife down again, but once more, he struck nothing.

Uchiha Tajima immediately retreated, landing some distance away, and frowned as he pondered the old jailer's abilities.

"If I'm not mistaken, this guy is using the shadows on the ground to appear and disappear unpredictably."

With a relaxed expression, Uchiha Tajima, who had only exchanged a few blows, had actually guessed most of the old jailer's abilities.

"Hehehe, as expected of the clan leader."

Upon hearing Uchiha Tajima's analysis, a hint of relief flashed across Uchiha Yao's face in the distance.

"The teacher is excellent."

Looking at his former mentor, who had turned against him, Uchiha Tajima replied coldly.

"Even if you know about the power of the Void, how will you break it?"

Facing this once outstanding disciple, Uchiha Yao was somewhat curious about how the other party would break through his clone ability.

"Teacher, the first thing I learned after becoming the clan chief was..."

Uchiha Tajima shook his head slightly, his tone carrying a hint of pride, while Uchiha Yao, who was listening intently, frowned.

Why is this kid giving such an irrelevant answer? Before he could even think, Uchiha Tajima, who was in the distance, bypassed Mikoto and attacked him directly.

"Teacher, times have changed!"

To catch the thief, first catch the king. Uchiha Tajima's three tomoe eyes spun rapidly, and his powerful eye power, accompanied by genjutsu, rushed towards the aged Uchiha Yao.

The slow-reacting old man was hit head-on by a Sharingan genjutsu, and his eyes closed as he fell silent.

Seeing that he had succeeded so easily, Uchiha Tajima couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality. How come this Uchiha Yao was all bark and no bite?

"Uncle, watch out!"

Uchiha Gin, who had been munching on sunflower seeds with Hikaru for a while, couldn't help but loudly remind him.

"You're still too green, my good disciple."

A pale, withered hand quietly rested on the shoulder of Uchiha Tajima, who was somewhat lost in thought. The voice that should have come from the old man before him instead came from behind him.

Uchiha Tajima's mind immediately went into overdrive. Uchiha Yao had clearly been hypnotized by his genjutsu, so how could she be behind him?

The hand resting on his shoulder seemed to possess immense strength, gripping him tightly and rendering him unable to move.

The old jailer, who had appeared behind Uchiha Tajima at some point, had blackened his gray eyes and gained a touch of humanity in his face. He spoke slowly, his voice now that of Uchiha Yao.

"Tajima, you still haven't gotten rid of your arrogance."

As the old man's voice rang out again, Uchiha Tajima felt a strange aura enter his entire body from his shoulder. A violent thought gradually rose in his mind, his consciousness began to blur, and his scarlet eyes were gradually tinged with a thin layer of black mist.

"Don't even think about controlling me!"

Sensing that his will was about to be eroded, Uchiha Tajima let out a low growl and channeled his chakra into his eyes. In the eye that was not yet tainted by the blackening, the three tomoe rapidly spun and merged, forming a completely new pattern.

"When it comes to brainwashing, you're still a beginner!"
