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

Chapter 999 Fugaku is getting married, and you're here singing and dancing.

"Ugh... such a big... ass..."

As Obito slowly regained consciousness, he mumbled intermittently about the last things he saw before he lost consciousness. Uchiha Gin, who had just handed over his red envelope, squatted down upon hearing this, reached out and patted the chubby boy's bruised and swollen face a few times, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes, "This kid..."

"What's wrong, Gin?"

Following behind him, Uchiha Hikaru caught a subtle expression on his face and asked curiously, "This kid's Yang Release chakra is a tiny bit abundant, the difficulty of awakening his Sharingan... tsk tsk tsk~"

Because he possessed half Akimichi blood, Obito was born with a much larger amount of Yang Release chakra than ordinary people.

While not as tanky as top-tier tanks like Thousand Hands or Uzumaki, they shouldn't be underestimated.

However, compared to the heavy health and mana bars brought by the abundant Yang Release, its negative effects on the Uchiha clan are also significant. As we all know, the Sharingan is a bloodline limit that is activated by emotions after Yin Release chakra has accumulated to a certain level. If the chakra ratio in an Uchiha clan member's body is always in the state of Yang Release > Yin Release, he may never be able to wear colored contact lenses in his life.

"Hmm...Lin? Lin!"

Just as Uchiha Gin shook his head and sighed, Obito finally opened his heavy eyelids. "Congratulations, the surgery was a success. From now on, you and Rin can call each other sisters and become close friends."

Hearing the devil's whisper suddenly ring in his ear, a dazed Obito instinctively broke into a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile. "Really? That's too... What?!"

He was only halfway through the celebration when he suddenly realized the massive amount of information contained in those words. Startled, he quickly reached out and touched Obito's location.

Empty.

"Oh! Grandpa Yin, where did my precious baby go?"

With tears streaming down his face, Obito looked at the man who called himself his surgeon with a sorrowful expression and resentment in his eyes. "Huh?"

Uchiha Gin was taken aback. He had only meant to make a harmless joke. What? Did Obito really turn into a sparrow and fly away on his own?

and many more!

However, Uchiha Gin quickly discovered the blind spot.

"Your sparrow didn't run away from home, it just got squeezed into the meat."

Looking at Obito, who had transformed into a chubby little dumpling, with a complex expression, Uchiha Gin pointed to his plump belly and revealed the truth.

"Well?"

Upon hearing this, Obito quickly pressed the cord in again and discovered that the treasure was indeed nestled among the layers of flesh. Overjoyed, he burst into tears, "Waaah, it's still there~ It's still there~"

"No wonder the Akimichi clan is so desperate to master the technique of partial multiplication..."

As Fugaku counted the money on the side, he sighed with a puzzled expression, "If it weren't for the help of the Local Expansion Technique, the Akimichi clan might have been wiped out long ago."

"Yo~ Oppa, who left you here? It wasn't Kakashi again, was it?"

Seeing Obito's sparrow returned to him, Uchiha Gin raised his hand and rubbed the boy's chubby head, teasingly saying with a smile, "It's Rin, no, it's a man who had a secret rendezvous with Rin."

Obito struggled to his feet, clutching his small belly, the disappointment in his eyes palpable.

"Isn't that Kakashi?"

Following behind Uchiha Gin, Senju Itama tilted her head with a gossipy expression. As the leader of the children in Konoha, she knew all the little secrets among the kids.

Kakashi is the school's most popular guy this year. Girls who want to date him could line up from the East End of the Honey Ice Cream shop to the family planning vending machine on the West Street.

"He's not that arrogant guy, he's a man whose butt suddenly gets bigger."

Obito rubbed his bruised nose, the image of those firm, perky buttocks that had left a deep impression on him flashing through his mind.

My butt got bigger?

Uchiha Gin stroked his chin, a hint of pity instantly appearing in his eyes as he looked at Obito. "Didn't you know Rin has an older brother?"

"How could I not know my future brother-in-law? But Shinnosuke-nii works in a security department, so we only see each other a few times a year."

Looking at Uchiha Gin with a puzzled expression, Obito frowned and replied, "You got what you deserved, kid."

Seeing that even after he had given such a thorough reminder, Obito still hadn't realized the truth, Gin Uchiha could only sigh and rub his forehead. This kind of stupidity was clearly not inherited from the Uchiha clan.

"Obi-kun! Are you alright?"

Just then, a girl wearing an elegant dress and with purple facial markings on her cheeks ran out of the hotel. Seeing the lively Obito, her tense expression finally relaxed a bit. "Rin! You...aren't you on a date?"

Upon hearing the goddess's call, Obito, instantly transforming into a goofy sheep, first grinned foolishly, then scratched his head, feigning nonchalance, and asked, "A date? What date?"

Lin was bewildered by his words. What kind of decent person would go on a date in such a crowded and noisy place? She was just there to eat at the banquet with her family.

"Then tell me, who was that man holding you in his arms?"

Because of the angle, in Obito's eyes, Rin, who took the initiative to go over to check on her brother, appeared to be being embraced by him.

"Huh? Who dares to hug my sister!"

As soon as Obito finished speaking, a black-haired youth who was somewhat handsome but not quite as good-looking as Ryougi Shiro descended from the sky and landed in front of Rin. He drew a Root-style blade with his backhand and looked around with a gloomy expression.

"Uh...Shin-chan, sir?"

Upon seeing the familiar figure, even Obito, who was usually dense, realized what it was, and his chubby face was filled with embarrassment.

It turns out it was all her own doing; she mistook her long-lost brother-in-law for the scumbag who was having an affair with Lin.

"Obito, the way you greeted me just now was a bit unusual. I couldn't control my butt for a second. Are you alright?"

Seeing the chubby boy waving at him, Shinnosuke's murderous expression softened a bit. Instead of blaming Obito for his earlier sneak attack, he inquired about the boy's injuries.

"It's okay~ I'm tough, I'll be fine."

Obito quickly jumped up and down twice to show that he was healthy. Now that things had come to this, even if he broke a bone, he would say that he had been lacking calcium recently.

"Yo~ Shinnosuke, are you taking a break today?"

"Grandpa Silver! Sasipuri!"

Shinnosuke, who was eager to protect his sister, then noticed Uchiha Gin and the others watching the drama unfold not far away. Realizing that his behavior had been somewhat impolite, he immediately sheathed his sword and politely went forward to greet them.

"Didn't your father come?"

Looking at the young man whose features bore a striking resemblance to the young boy, Uchiha Gin smiled and asked, "Father is working overtime today, so I'm attending in his place."

Shinnosuke shook his head, and as he explained, his gaze turned to Fugaku beside him, "Please understand, Clan Chief Fugaku."

"I understand~ I understand~ As long as Shimura Kagesuke's gift money is in place, that's fine."

Having personally checked Danzo's red envelope and being quite satisfied with its thickness, Fugaku didn't mind the other party's impolite absence at all. He even felt that compared to the Third Hokage, who brought his whole family and whose red envelope was pitifully small, Danzo's actions were simply the epitome of social etiquette.

"Thump...thump...thump..."

"Time's almost up, everyone please take your seats."

Upon hearing the hotel bells ringing, the wealthy man, having finished collecting all the monetary gifts, greeted them.

"Uncle, I'll go first."

Fugaku, who still needed to touch up his makeup backstage, apologized to Uchiha Gin, then disappeared from everyone's sight with the gift money his brother had packed.

Looking at his nephew, who had turned into a miser, Uchiha Gin smiled and shook his head. "Let's go, it's time to get some food."

The appearance of Uchiha Gin in the hotel caused quite a stir. After all, he had been missing for nearly half a year. If it were an ordinary ninja, he would have been labeled a rogue ninja long ago.

"Yin San San! Where did you go sketching off to? Let's chat sometime!"

Jiraiya, who was the first to greet Uchiha Gin, stepped forward with a mocking expression, "You old geezer, could you please keep your voice down?"

The boy Yahiko, who was about half a year old, helplessly covered his face and clung tightly to his stepfather's sleeve, trying to stop his embarrassing behavior.

"Yin San San, are you... injured?"

Tsunade and Orochimaru, who were dressed normally, also came over. The two looked Uchiha Gin up and down, his face slightly pale, and both frowned.

"I practice at home, it's fine."

Uchiha Gin glanced at the two rosy-cheeked women behind him and gave a perfunctory laugh.

"Grandpa Yin, I've been away for the past six months, how come I haven't heard any news about you?"

Minato, dressed in a suit and tie, led Kushina over. His azure eyes were full of questions. He had now been promoted to an elite Jonin of Konoha and had been carrying out extremely dangerous missions all over the ninja world.

Minato's words piqued the curiosity of everyone present. They all stared eagerly at Uchiha Gin, wanting to hear his stories from the past six months. "I've been to some really interesting places. I'll take you there next time I have the chance!"

But how could one casually talk about something like time travel? Under everyone's gaze, Uchiha Gin smiled mysteriously and kept everyone in suspense.

Did Grandpa Gin bring us any souvenirs?

Konan, dressed in a white dress, and Nagato, dressed in festive red, also ran over. Konan, who was very familiar with Uchiha Gin, grabbed his sleeve and asked in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Um?"

Hikaru Uchiha, who had been following behind Gin Uchiha with a smile on his face, suddenly sharpened his gaze upon hearing Konan's voice.

She would never forget that voice; it was the voice of that scheming, manipulative woman who always called her in the middle of the night, intentionally or unintentionally showing off.

Another timeline?

That means Konan and Agin...

Uchiha Hikaru narrowed his eyes as he analyzed the standard answer in a few seconds.

That's interesting. It seems she has no choice but to go now.

"How is that curly-haired guy even able to get out of bed? What's his body structure like?"

Not far away, Senju Hisa, sitting at the table with a scrutinizing gaze, nodded with a hint of surprise. Others might not know what Uchiha Gin was busy with at home, but she, who had almost been the one toiled, knew very well.

"Professor, shall we go over and say hello?"

Sitting next to Senju Hisama, Konan-nii Hiruko hesitated whether to get up. He and Uchiha Gin had a long-standing master-disciple relationship, so wouldn't it be impolite not to go up now?

"You can go if you want. I've already spoken to him."

Senju Hisa glanced at the timid and submissive Hiruko beside her, then waved her hand without stopping him.

"Grandpa Gin!"

"Grandpa Silver~"

"Gintoki".

As more and more acquaintances gathered around to chat with Gin Uchiha, who had been missing for half a year, the wedding, which should have been Fugaku's main event, gradually took a turn for the worse. "Lord Fugaku, shall I say something?"

The wedding was long overdue, and Fugaku, who was standing on the stage, was scratching his head awkwardly. The Uchiha clan member who was acting as the master of ceremonies was sweating profusely, saying, "What are you going to say? The bride has already run off the stage."

Fugaku glared at the clueless emcee, then his gaze fell on Mikoto, who was squeezing into the crowd of johns, his eyes filled with helplessness.

"Grandpa Yin! I'm relieved to see you're alright."

"Mikoto? What are you doing here? Where's Fugaku?"

Uchiha Gin, who had just been bragging to Hyuga Tenyo, looked at Mikoto, who was dressed in an exquisite white kimono, with surprise in his eyes.

Time flies. It seems like just yesterday she was a little girl doting on me, always asking for green apple lollipops, and now she's a pregnant woman getting married as the clan chief's wife.

"Never mind him, Grandpa, you're more important."

Mikoto glanced at Fugaku, who was awkwardly laughing on the stage, then stepped forward and took Gin Uchiha's hand. "Could you please be my witness at my wedding, Grandpa Gin?"

"It is my great honor."

Looking at Mikoto, whose eyes were filled with tenderness and happiness, Uchiha Gin straightened his back slightly, a rare solemnity appearing on his usually languid face.

"Here, let us wish the newlyweds a lifetime of happiness and happiness together."

'

As Fugaku and Mikoto, dressed in traditional attire, drank the wedding wine symbolizing their vows, they held hands and completed the ceremony, nestled happily together. Uchiha Gin, who served as the officiant, was filled with emotion.

"Uncle... um!"

After the ceremony ended, Fugaku, holding Mikoto's hand, walked up to Gin Uchiha. The moment he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by an elbow strike from his new wife. "Mikoto, what are you doing?"

"Should I call him Grandpa?"

"ha?"

Fugaku stared blankly at his sulking wife, speechless. How could he have been demoted so much right after getting married?

"Can't we each call our own names?"

"Didn't you say you'd do whatever I wanted from now on?"

Mikoto's almond-shaped eyes narrowed, and the aura emanating from her body was not much less than that of Fugaku.

"Uh...ah...this..."

Just as Fugaku was struggling with whether or not to speak, Uchiha Gin, who was waiting for his super seniority promotion, felt several thorny gazes from not far away, and his chrysanthemum instinctively tightened.

"Hey~ We're all family, what's wrong with calling each other that?"

"Uncle..."

"Grandpa Gin..."

"You two still have to toast later, I'll go and help with the banquet without disturbing you. By the way, Mikoto, you're pregnant, so please don't drink anymore, let Fugaku do it for you."

Seeing the young couple's touching expressions, Uchiha Gin quickly made a reasonable excuse and left.

"Ah Yin, you almost got on my head, you brat."

Looking at Uchiha Gin who had taken his seat, Uchiha Tajima, who had transformed into a wealthy old man, hid the barely perceptible red glint in his eyes with a strange smile. This brat, after not seeing him for a few days, actually wants to rebel against the Heavenly Gang and address me as an equal.

"Uncle, how could I dare? You are the highest mountain and the longest river in our Uchiha clan!"

Uchiha Gin chuckled sheepishly, picked up a piece of freshly served eight-treasure rice, stuffed it into his mouth, and boasted, "I knew from the beginning that my cousin wasn't that kind of person!"

Seeing this, Izuna immediately spoke up to pledge his loyalty, trying not to offend anyone. Uchiha Gin, who was smacking his lips, glanced at him, his eyebrows suddenly furrowing. "You used your eye power the most when you glared at people just now, kid. Big cousin? Nephew Izuna, please recognize your place."
