Chapter 934 Uncle, you're not a lolicon, are you?
"Are you sure you haven't come to the wrong place? Is this Konoha?"
Standing before a wooden gate at the end of a dirt road, Uchiha Gin, who was following the queue to enter the village, craned his neck to examine the Konoha "village" not far away, which was not much better than an urban village. He turned his head strangely to look at Minato and the others behind him who were huddled together whispering to each other.
"This village is just too..."
"Isn't it too extravagant, Senior Gin?"
Minato smiled and picked up the conversation, his pride evident in his eyes. It was clear he was genuinely proud to be a Konoha resident.
"Uh"
Not wanting to offend the others, Uchiha Gin swallowed the word "simple" and nodded with an awkward smile.
“Indeed, when I last came here, the village hadn’t even had its roads repaired yet.”
The development of this timeline is indeed somewhat lagging behind; the current infrastructure level of Konoha Village is even inferior to the shantytowns waiting to be demolished on his side.
"Huh? That must have been a long time ago?"
Kakashi, standing to the side with several Band-Aids on his head, blinked curiously.
"No wonder I've never heard of you, Uncle Yin."
Uchiha Gin stroked his chin, pretending to ponder for a moment, then nodded in reply.
"I usually only come back to visit when something big happens. The first time was when the village was first established, and the second time was when my older cousin rebelled. Sigh, let's not talk about that."
After letting out a sigh of regret, the sadness on Uchiha Gin's face was quickly replaced by relief, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
"As for the most recent one, it was more than 20 years ago."
More than twenty years ago?
Minato and the others exchanged glances. Had any major events occurred in the village more than twenty years ago?
"Senior Yin, your last return wasn't because of the Second Hokage, was it?"
Soon, Watergate's eyes lit up when he found the directory of major events from those years; the standard answer was obvious.
"Bingo, that's when the white-haired guy died."
Uchiha Gin smiled and gave Minato a thumbs up. Anyway, the white-haired guy in this timeline had done all sorts of bad things, so it wouldn't be too much for him to slander him.
"Watergate!"
As the group chatted, the long queue finally reached the main gate. A dark-skinned young man, who was diligently checking the information of people entering and exiting, saw the water gate and warmly waved to them.
"Dekayi, it's been a long time."
Upon seeing his former genin teammates, Minato immediately flashed his signature warm smile.
"Did you just finish a mission?"
The young black man called Dekaichi glanced at Choza and the others following behind Minato, his curious gaze finally settling on the unfamiliar curly-haired man standing with Kakashi.
"This person looks unfamiliar."
Just as Dekai was sizing him up, Uchiha Gin also looked at the small, black-clad man wearing the Konoha headband with a scrutinizing gaze, and spoke in a strange tone.
When did Konoha introduce agricultural tools?
White hair and dark skin
With such distinctive physical features, could this kid be a spy from the Hidden Cloud Village?
"Farm tools? Senior Silver, what are you talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Minato turned his head in confusion, and Dekayi, who also had a head full of question marks, tilted his head to look at him.
"It's nothing, it's just slang from our time. It means this young man is very strong and would definitely be a good worker in the fields."
Uchiha Gin shrugged, spouting nonsense with a straight face.
"Haha, thank you for the compliment."
Upon hearing this, Dekai assumed that Uchiha Gin was praising him, and immediately scratched his head with a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile.
“Dekayi, I cannot reveal this senior’s identity to you for the time being. If you really want to know, then I will tell you after I have reported to the Hokage and obtained his permission.”
"It's alright, you guys go in. Who else could I trust but you, Minato?"
It just so happened that the gatekeeper was Dekayi, an old classmate of Minato's. This saved Minato a lot of trouble in bringing Uchiha Gin back to the village; otherwise, who knows how long they would have been stuck at the village entrance.
Following the bustling crowd into Konoha, Uchiha Gin immediately felt a familiar yet unfamiliar aura wash over him.
Although they were from different times and the infrastructure was vastly different, he could still spot several familiar faces among the passing residents that evoked a flood of emotions in Uchiha Gin.
Looking up at the three rock carvings on the mountainside in the distance, Uchiha Gin pulled his gaze away from the Sima face in the middle and curled his lips in a disdainful smirk.
"Kakashi, why don't you show Gin around the village first, then we'll go turn in the mission."
After assigning Uchiha Gin to one of his students, Minato, along with Choza and Shimi, vanished from the spot in a flash.
"Uncle Yin, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"
Kakashi received a very subtle look from his teacher, then turned to Uchiha Gin and asked,
For example, the Uchiha clan's territory.
"Snack street".
"what?"
ten minutes later,
"This is your Konoha food street? Not very good~"
Following Kakashi, Uchiha Gin made several turns until they arrived at a fairly bustling commercial street. He glanced at the somewhat shabby shops on both sides, his brow furrowing slightly.
behind,
It's too outdated.
There isn't even a shop selling small sweet drinks!
"Our place certainly can't compare to the Land of Honey, but it's far superior to other places."
Kakashi pouted, somewhat unconvinced, and pointed to the newly popular restaurant with a long queue not far away.
"That's Ichiraku Ramen, which was moved from the capital of the Land of Fire. Uncle Gin, you've probably never had it before, haven't you?"
"It's too oily, I want something sweet."
Before Ichiraku Ramen developed its cheese broth base, Gin Uchiha would never have gone in to eat there.
"Sweet? How about the three-color dumplings? It's a long-established dessert shop in Konoha, with a professional reputation for thirty years."
"alright."
Gin Uchiha glanced at the old-fashioned tricolor signboard not far away and nodded reluctantly. Apart from that, he couldn't think of anything else to eat.
"Boss, two orders of signature meatballs, and two cups of hot tea."
Lifting the curtain and entering the shop, Kakashi waved familiarly to the owner, who was busy in the kitchen.
Is black tea acceptable?
The boss nodded, smiled, and asked,
"Either is fine, just remember to add three spoonfuls of sugar."
Gin Uchiha wasn't picky about his tea; he just needed three spoonfuls of sugar.
"Boss, today is a very important day, give me a skewer of meatballs!"
Just as the two were waiting with their teacups, a flustered figure burst in, pushed up the goggles that were originally on their eyes, and shouted loudly,
"Tsk~ How come I always run into this idiot?" Looking at the boisterous, spiky-haired guy, Kakashi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Obito, can't you slow down a little?"
At that moment, several short figures lifted the curtain and entered. One of them, a boy with a thousand-book in his mouth, shook his head helplessly and said...
"After all, his graduation application was approved, so his excitement is understandable."
Another boy, wearing small black sunglasses and a headscarf, patted him on the shoulder.
"What's the use of just getting excited? Whether it will pass is still unknown."
Walking at the very back, a fair-skinned girl with short black hair pursed her lips. As she spoke, her gaze fell on Kakashi, who was holding a teacup, and a barely perceptible hint of joy appeared in her eyes.
"Kakashi! You're back?"
"Huh? Kakashi, when did you get back?"
After the girl's reminder, the spiky-haired boy who had barged in first finally noticed the composed Kakashi and immediately rushed over.
"Hey~ Mute, I just arrived too."
With a weak wave, Kakashi greeted the short-haired girl, then glanced at the spiky-haired boy whose eyes were blazing with fighting spirit, before raising his hand to protect the half-eaten tricolor dumpling in front of him.
"Obi-tou, go buy it yourself if you want to eat it."
"Ugh, who would eat something you've already eaten?!"
Noticing the mocking look in Kakashi's eyes, the boy nicknamed Obi-chan's forehead veins bulged.
If he weren't outmatched, he would have already sent Kakashi a powerful fireball to test his skills.
Shizune and the others crowded around, looking at Kakashi, who was wearing a headband, with envy.
"Kakashi, tell us quickly what the Land of Wind is like!"
While their peers were still preparing for their graduation exams, this genius had already been promoted to Chunin and was able to go on missions abroad with elite Jonin.
While the group was asking questions, Shizune noticed a strange curly-haired man sitting opposite Kakashi.
"Kakashi, who is this gentleman?"
At first, she thought they were just passersby sharing a table, but seeing the other person smiling and scrutinizing them, she couldn't help but become curious.
"Yeah, uncle, who are you? Why are you staring at me?"
Obito frowned suspiciously. He had noticed Gin Uchiha looking him up and down, but he hadn't asked because Kakashi was his priority.
"Him? He is..."
Kakashi frowned in distress. His teacher had told him on the way that he must not reveal Uchiha Gin's identity to the villagers before everything was investigated.
“I’m your uncle whom you’ve never met before, Obi-tou.”
However, before he could fabricate a suitable identity for Uchiha Gin, the other party reached out and ruffled Obito's spiky hair, introducing himself in a serious manner.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, all the boys and girls present gaped open, with Obito, the person directly involved, gaping the widest.
"Old, old, old... Uncle?"
"Yes."
"What nonsense are you talking about!?"
Whether it was from Uchiha Gin's pat on the head that made his face flushed, or from the other's words that angered him, Obito's entire face turned bright red, and a faint red glint flickered in his clear black and white eyes.
Oh?
Is this the time to open one's eyes?
Sensing a considerable amount of ocular power gathering and about to be unleashed, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Who says Obito's foundation is bad? His foundation is simply too good.
"Stop, Obi-kun, he really is your uncle."
Kakashi, who was standing nearby, noticed that Obito's clenched fists were bulging with veins and quickly spoke up to defend Gin Uchiha.
"Kakashi, you have to take responsibility for saying things like that!"
After being disturbed by him, the shame and indignation in Obito's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a strange light of doubt.
Although he always regarded Kakashi as his rival, the two actually had a good relationship in private, like childhood friends.
“Your mother is my adopted sister whom I have never formally acknowledged. It is not inappropriate for you to call me uncle.”
Seeing that Kakashi had cut off Obito's path to awakening his Sharingan, Gin Uchiha shook his head in disappointment, then slowly explained in a deep tone,
Only then did Obito take a serious look at the curly-haired man in front of him, his gaze moving down from the man's handsome face and stopping at the Uchiha clan crest embroidered on the Uchiha silver's exquisite clan robe.
"But why haven't I heard Grandma mention this before?"
"It's embarrassing to admit, but I only met your mother once, and she was only this age then."
Uchiha Gin pointed nostalgically to Shizune, who was standing to the side like a curious child. His gentle tone made everyone feel a little dazed, and for some reason, they subconsciously wanted to believe him.
"Uncle, you're not a lolicon, are you?"
Suddenly, the boy wearing small sunglasses pushed up his glasses and uttered a sentence that jolted everyone awake, causing Uchiha Gin, who was making up a story, to freeze in shock.
You're Ebisu, aren't you? Just wait until I get back and teach you a lesson!
"what!"
Upon hearing this, Shizune instinctively took a few steps back, clutching her flat chest and looking warily at the stiff-faced Uchiha Gin.
"Don't misunderstand."
Faced with numerous questioning gazes, Uchiha Gin, in order to prove his innocence, had no choice but to raise two fingers as if swearing an oath.
"I swear in the name of my Uchiha ancestors that I have always been a mature woman type, the kind that's easy to beat."
As soon as the words were spoken, a voluptuous figure entered, lifting the curtain as she spoke. Her bold and unrestrained demeanor could be felt even from a distance.
"Boss, give me ten skewers, please?"
The other person had clearly heard Uchiha Gin's oath to his brother; his tone faltered, and his pretty face, still flushed from a hangover, was filled with a strange expression.
"Sir, although we advocate for freedom of expression, saying such things to children can get you arrested and sent to the police station."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin subtly lowered his raised finger, inwardly muttering to himself.
Security force?
Going in by myself wouldn't feel like going home, would it?
"Aunt Tsunade!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Shizune immediately leaped forward, burying her head in two large bolts of lightning, while the men present looked on with envy.
Still somewhat drunk, Tsunade's pretty face darkened upon hearing this address. She quickly lifted the girl from her arms and, with a stern expression, corrected her.
"Call me 'sister'!"
"Okay, Aunt Tsunade, I understand, Aunt Tsunade."
No wonder Shizune had such a hard life later on; it turns out she was paying off a debt she incurred as a child.
"A new face, are you...Uchiha?"
After giving her a good scolding for the burden her ex-boyfriend had left her, Tsunade turned her attention to Uchiha Gin, who had just made that startling remark. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
This man is completely unfamiliar to me.
Uchiha Gin calmly sipped the cloyingly sweet tea, and his words made Tsunade's delicate body tremble.
"That mark... what's your relationship with Mito?"
Who are you?
Tsunade shielded Shizune, whose cheek was swollen and red, behind her, her eyes filled with vigilance as she stared at Uchiha Gin, who had no chakra aura whatsoever. Her sense of crisis was at its peak.
Such a superb skill in concealing one's aura indicates that this person is no ordinary individual.
Judging from the other person's tone, they seemed to know her grandmother, but she had never heard her grandmother mention anyone like that before.
"Don't worry, you'll see when you look at this."
Seeing Tsunade's serious expression, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow, lifted the fluffy curly hair covering his forehead with his finger, revealing a purple-black diamond-shaped mark.
"The Yin Seal? Impossible! How could a man possibly master the Yin Seal?"
Tsunade stared at Uchiha Gin in disbelief. As the only inheritor of the Yin Seal in Konoha, she knew better than anyone the threshold for mastering this forbidden technique.
Meanwhile, dozens of meters underground in the darkness of the Three-Colored Dumpling Shop, a white radish-like figure that had been lurking for a long time was moving rapidly, and soon arrived at a huge space buried deep underground.
The moment the white radish-like figure emerged from the ground, it excitedly shouted towards the withered old man sitting high above, eyes closed in meditation.
"Lord Madara, the person you asked us to find has finally appeared!" (End of Chapter)
