Naruto: Uchiha Madara's Cousin

Uchiha Gin left Uchiha Tajima's office, brimming with frustration, not even bothering to look back.

As he stepped out the door, he glanced at the imposing clan leader's building and thought to himself,

"I knew coming here would be nothing but trouble!"

"One day, I'll blow this place up!"

"Boom! Bang! Thud~!"

Still fuming as he returned home, before he even stepped inside, he could already hear the commotion of chaos within.

Uchiha Gin sighed, thinking, "Can't I find peace anywhere?"

"What are you two up to now?"

Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Gin pushed open the door, and sure enough, as expected, Uchiha Hikari and Senju Itama, who he hadn't seen in a while, were at it again.

The two were currently gripping each other's hands tightly.

Uchiha Gin glanced at their white knuckles and their flushed faces.

He didn't even need to guess; these two had clearly been locked in a contest of strength for quite some time.

"Hikari, this brat's been sleeping in your room! Who knows what sneaky things he's been up to!"

Hearing Uchiha Gin's voice, Uchiha Hikari struggled to turn her head, her red cheeks filled with indignation.

Since she was giving it her all, her words came out strained between her clenched teeth.

"Don't listen to this old hag! I just got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and accidentally went into the wrong room."

Compared to the tense Uchiha Hikari, Senju Itama seemed much more at ease.

Hearing her tattletale, he hurriedly explained, his face slightly red, likely out of embarrassment from being exposed.

"And she even bragged about going on a honeymoon with you and soaking in hot springs together! What a shameless woman!"

Senju Itama, getting worked up, channeled chakra throughout his body.

The Yang-style chakra around him became so intense it almost overflowed.

Though much younger than Uchiha Hikari, he'd never been one to back down when it came to strength, and he pushed his power to the limit.

"Huh?"

Originally thinking they were both running on fumes, Uchiha Hikari suddenly sensed the overwhelming force coming from Itama's body.

She was taken aback.

In the next moment, it felt like she was standing in front of a speeding train.

Before she could react, an immense force sent her flying.

"Argh, you little brat!"

After doing several flips midair to mitigate the impact, Uchiha Hikari landed steadily but was seething with rage.

"I was just playing with you, and you took it seriously? You think an Uchiha like me would lose a strength contest to you?"

Immediately, she channeled chakra into her eyes. Her dark pupils turned crimson, and the three tomoe Sharingan spun slightly, filling the room with a chilling aura.

"Stop it! I've been working unpaid overtime all day and got assigned extra tasks! You two better settle down!"

Seeing the situation about to escalate, Uchiha Gin stepped in to stop the farce. With a stern expression, he warned the two,

"Or else… I'll resort to the clan's discipline!"

"Ugh~" times two

Both of them, who had been ready to tear each other apart, immediately calmed down upon hearing the words "clan discipline."

They instinctively covered their behinds, having experienced Uchiha Gin's "ruthless" methods before.

"Welcome home, Gin-san~"

Just as Uchiha Gin was feeling thoroughly annoyed, a purple figure gracefully walked out from the tea room, carrying a cup of fragrant tea. She approached him and said, "You look so tired, have a cup of tea to refresh yourself."

Taking the cup and inhaling the soothing aroma, Uchiha Gin finally felt his furrowed brow relax.

"Ah, little Haruka is always so considerate. If only you were my child!"

Seeing the gentle and well-mannered Uchiha Haruka before him, Uchiha Gin felt warmth in his heart.

He reached out to pat her purple hair affectionately and remarked with satisfaction.

"Uh-oh! There's a schemer here. Let's call off the infighting!" times two

Sensing danger, both Uchiha Hikari and Senju Itama exchanged glances and instantly reached an understanding.

"Gin~ Come sit and rest. I'll give you a shoulder massage."

With a quick movement, Uchiha Hikari squeezed past Uchiha Haruka, taking her place in front of Uchiha Gin.

She smiled sweetly, her earlier aggressive demeanor completely gone.

"You curly-haired ape! I'm going to make dinner. Do you want fish?"

Senju Itama pulled out an apron and said haughtily.

Their sudden shift left Uchiha Gin somewhat bewildered.

Before he could react, Hikari had already pressed him onto the couch, her hands gently massaging his shoulders in rhythmic motions.

"Gin, is the pressure okay?"

"Uh, a little harder. I like it firm."

Uchiha Gin turned his neck, feeling a bit stiff, and replied.

"Got it~"

A faint cherry-red aura appeared around Uchiha Hikari.

"Now that's the spot!"

The strength was perfect!

Off to the side, Uchiha Haruka wasn't bothered by being pushed aside. She just smiled and continued serving tea, without a hint of competition in her demeanor.

After a while, Senju Itama brought out dish after dish from the kitchen, all of Uchiha Gin's favorites.

Soon, the table was filled, and the aroma of the food filled the entire house.

Savoring Hikari's massage with his eyes closed, Uchiha Gin's nose twitched as the familiar smell hit him. He opened his eyes immediately.

"Wow, not bad~"

Seeing the feast Senju Itama had prepared, Uchiha Gin's fingers twitched in excitement.

"You really went all out, huh?"

Senju Itama, pleased by the praise, shot a triumphant glance at Uchiha Hikari, his eyes filled with pride.

"Alright, thanks for the hard work. Let's eat!"

Not wanting to waste the effort Senju Itama had put into the meal, Uchiha Gin invited everyone to the table. The house was soon filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Well, Gin-san, I must take my leave now. Mother will be worried."

After the meal, Uchiha Haruka stood up to say her goodbyes.

Uchiha Gin suddenly remembered the payment he owed her for the mission and fished around in his bag before pulling out a gold brick, placing it in her hands.

"Haruka, don't think it's too little."

"Huh? This is too much! I can't accept it!"

Haruka wasn't foolish. She knew exactly what the mission rewards in the clan typically were.

She had merely completed a simple escort mission, so there was no way the payment should be this high.

"Just take it. This is your reward."

Uchiha Gin, firm in his stance, forced the gold brick into her small hands.

Then, he pulled out a scroll containing the Amber Purifying Pot, waving it in front of her and saying seriously,

"There's no way I can split this between you two. It's a tool used by the Sage of Six Paths himself. It's priceless."

"Uh..."

Haruka still hesitated, but Uchiha Gin's expression grew stern.

"Just became my apprentice and already ignoring your teacher's words? Are you planning to betray me?"

No, I just want to push you down and dominate you~

An 18+ scenario flashed through Haruka'a mind, and her cold expression turned beet red.

To hide her embarrassment, she quickly grabbed the gold brick and ran off, calling out,

"Thank you, Gin-san!"

Watching her retreat in haste, Uchiha Gin was confused but shrugged it off, thinking she just missed her mother.

Ah, Lady Eimi… I miss her too.

Seeing that it was still early, Uchiha Gin instructed the two not to fight before heading off to the backyard alone, a place he hadn't visited in a while.

Seeing how neatly the yard had been kept, Uchiha Gin nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that Senju Itama hadn't been slacking and had followed his instructions well.

Lying leisurely on a wooden chair crafted from Wood Release, he waited for the NPCs to respawn.

He wondered what surprises the system had in store for him after being delayed for so long.

How about a Sage Of Six Path? He wanted to summon Meteor!

Or at the very least, the Yellow Flash!

He wanted to learn Flying Raijin and sneak attack from behind—how satisfying that would be!

As Uchiha Gin's mind wandered, he suddenly felt the air around him shift. That familiar feeling was here!

Looking at the rippling light curtain appearing out of thin air, Uchiha Gin's eyes were filled with anticipation as he silently shouted in his heart,

"Jackpot! Give me the jackpot!"

As a foot in wooden clogs stepped out of the light, Uchiha Gin's heart sank.

Neither the Sage of The Six Path nor Minato wore those!

When the NPC fully emerged from the portal, Uchiha Gin's fiery excitement was doused completely.

Although the NPC who appeared had some resemblance to what Uchiha Gin had in mind, it was only superficial.

None of the skills he hoped for would be available.

The man who appeared was tall and sturdy, with long white hair reaching down to his waist. A long red marking ran under his eyes. He wore a red outer robe, with a brown outfit underneath. He had wooden sandals on his feet, ninja guards on his hands, and a large scroll strapped to his back.

He looked exactly like the "Toad Sage" Uchiha Gin remembered, but upon closer inspection, Yin noticed a key difference.

The NPC's forehead protector had the word "Sugar" written on it, instead of the "Oil" symbol from the original.

This was the first time Gin noticed that an NPC could differ from the original version. Had his memory faltered after all these years?

While he was trying to recall the details, the expression in the NPC's eyes changed from blankness to astonishment.

The NPC's eyes began to dart around warily, scanning the surroundings, until his gaze landed on Uchiha Gin, who was deep in thought.

Shock turned into fear.

His eyes showed visible terror, as if he wanted to flee the next second. But to no avail—he couldn't control his own body.

He could only watch as his hand moved mechanically, biting his finger and smearing blood across his old face.

Recognizing the familiar ritual, Gin knew what was coming next: a tough battle.
