Chapter 902 I told you to prepare a few more aliases, and here they come in handy!
"Time flies. Jiraiya and the others have all grown into reliable adults."
On his way home, Senju Itama recalled Jiraiya's heavy back as he pulled Yahiko away, a deep sigh lingering on his face, untouched by time.
"I don't know if it's reliable, but it has certainly aged quite a bit."
Beside him, Uchiha Gin, with a languid expression, carried a bundled bouquet of flowers, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
Besides Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru, two of the legendary Sannin, also have their own secrets to maintaining their youthful appearance.
The three are all under thirty, yet the difference in their appearances is already becoming apparent.
Tsunade usually maintains the demeanor of a young woman in her late teens, radiating energy.
And Orochimaru...
All I can say is that Yuan Yuan's version is still incredibly popular, easily surpassing 90% of female streamers.
In contrast, Jiraiya, who grew up normally, became the most greasy man with a fatherly air, seriously lowering the group's overall attractiveness.
"Being able to serve as a Jonin leader is already far better than some curly-haired guy who only knows how to slack off."
Senju Itama glanced at the lazy Uchiha Gin beside him, then immediately unleashed his ultimate attack at point-blank range.
"You don't understand. It would be a waste to use my talents only to guide three children. My ultimate goal is to comprehensively improve the moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor skills of Konoha ninjas."
This kind of mockery had no effect on Uchiha Gin. He looked at the pouting Senju Itama and seriously shook his finger.
"Are we really talking about all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, relying on those dummy dolls who can only get beaten up?"
Senju Itama was so tired of hearing the same thing that he was practically sick of it; he rolled his eyes so hard they were practically falling off.
"Just tell me if it works or not!"
Uchiha Gin shrugged. The experience feedback mechanism for training dummies was still functioning normally. When Jiraiya and the others, as well as Minato and his friends, encountered bottlenecks in their training, they would still go to the training ground to beat up the dummies to accumulate proficiency and seek breakthroughs.
"It does work, but I haven't felt any improvement recently."
Senju Itama paused upon hearing this. Undeniably, the training dummy created by Uchiha Gin was indeed very useful; it had significantly improved her performance initially.
However, as her own strength increased, she felt that the effectiveness of training dummies was decreasing each time.
"Is that so?"
Seeing that the system notification indicated the training dummy was still a little short of its maximum experience points, Uchiha Gin nodded thoughtfully.
"Then I'll upgrade it soon."
We must find an opportunity to promote this dummy; otherwise, at this rate of slow progress, it will take forever to upgrade.
Who to look for?
It is known that training dummies have very limited effect on improving the strength and experience of ninjas. Generally, the best feedback is given to genin or students who have just entered the ninja academy. These energetic groups are the most favored by the system's tools.
Genin,
Ninja Academy Students
Got it!
Uchiha Gin's eyes suddenly lit up. If he could introduce training dummies into schools, allowing every child in the ninja academy to practice techniques and hone their skills, wouldn't the dummies' experience points skyrocket, making leveling up a breeze?
"Tsk! At crucial moments, that kid Mi Luo always lets me down."
Speaking of the Ninja Academy, Uchiha Gin does have a close acquaintance, namely Uzumaki Hanamichi's eldest son, Uzumaki Miluo. Unfortunately, that kid was called home by his father a few days ago for a blind date, and probably won't be back for a while.
Are we going to go find that white-haired guy?
Recalling the Thousand-Haired Man with the white hair who had groped him and tried to sexually harass him, Uchiha Gin's face darkened.
Senju Hisa currently holds the title of director of the Ninja Academy, so arranging a new teaching material is just a matter of nodding her off. However, if I were to actually ask her for help, I would probably have to make a considerable sacrifice.
"Hey, do you know anyone at the Ninja Academy?"
Gin Uchiha glanced at Senju Itama beside him and remembered that she liked to chat with the village aunties. Who knows what other tricks she might have up her sleeve?
"I've never been to school, how could I possibly know anyone at the ninja academy? Didn't you claim to have connections all over the world?"
Senju Itama raised an eyebrow and looked at Uchiha Gintoki with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"Uh"
Uchiha Gin scratched his head. Actually, he knew other teachers at the Ninja Academy, but their relationship was just a casual camaraderie. Gin had been indirectly "bullied" by him since childhood, and it was already considered polite of him not to throw shuriken at him.
"However, I seem to have heard that our new neighbor is a teacher who just passed the exam to become a ninja academy teacher. I just don't know if he teaches theory or practical combat."
Just as Uchiha Gin was struggling with whether or not to submit to the white-haired man, Senju Itama stroked his chin, frowned, and pondered for a moment before providing him with a very valuable clue.
Such a coincidence?
Uchiha Gin paused for a moment, then casually slung the flower over his shoulder.
"Then what are you standing there for? Go and visit our new neighbors!"
On the vacant land east of the Uchiha Gin residence's territory, a rather shabby detached house had appeared out of nowhere, standing out against the backdrop of the Wood Release: Great House.
"Honey, I asked around among the villagers yesterday. Do you know why our new house is so cheap?"
A beautiful, dark-haired woman holding a baby looked at her husband, who was preparing to report to the ninja academy, her gentle face filled with worry.
"Huh? Isn't it because I won the grand prize in the sales office draw?"
At the gate, a smart-looking man in a ninja uniform turned around upon hearing this, a hint of doubt in his red eyes.
The man's name was Yuhi Shinku. He was born into an obscure small ninja clan. His clan was small and had never produced any notable strongmen. During the Warring States period, they were a vassal of the Sarutobi clan and belonged to the lowest level of the ninja alliance.
Fortunately, he had decent ninja talent, coupled with a tenacious personality and diligent training. Under the guidance of his elders, he successfully became a Jonin at the age of thirty, achieving a breakthrough for his clan by becoming their first Jonin.
Just as Yuhi Shinku finished her more than ten years of secluded training and was preparing to make great strides in her career, she was forcibly restrained by her clan elders.
First, they arranged a marriage for him and ordered him to have an heir as soon as possible.
She also pulled strings everywhere to find him a respectable job in the village, directly thwarting Yuhi Shinku's ambition to make a name for himself in the mission world.
Shortly after the marriage, the wife chosen by his family gave birth to a daughter, and the family spared no expense to raise the down payment for his new house.
As for the property, it was naturally chosen near the village's hottest CBD, with plenty of shopping districts, schools, and hospitals nearby, providing better conditions for the children's growth.
Of course, as mentioned earlier, the Yuhi clan is just a low-level clan in the Ninja Clan Alliance. They have never produced a Jonin, so their wealth is not substantial. The money they have raised is only enough for a down payment on an apartment.
However, Kurenai Yuhi was quite lucky. In a lottery organized by the sales office of the Land of Waves Real Estate, he was "lucky" enough to win the hidden grand prize, which upgraded his small apartment to a detached house with a small yard. As a result, he was called a person who had exhausted his lifespan by the strange-looking sales office staff.
"No, that's not true. It's said that a terrifying guy lives in that castle over there. The villagers around don't dare to get close, and they don't even dare to mention his name."
The beautiful woman with slightly wavy hair patted her sleeping daughter in her arms with lingering fear, her gaze fixed on the enormous wooden castle standing not far away.
"You're overthinking it. The Hokage wouldn't let someone like that live in the village. They're just sour grapes, jealous of my Divine Draw."
Looking at his worried wife, Yuhi Mako managed a faint smile on her usually stern face.
If such a person really existed, he would probably have been thrown into jail by the righteous Konoha Police Force long ago.
"But... uh?"
"Alright, I'm going to work now. If you're really worried, we can visit this mysterious neighbor together after I get off work."
Seeing his wife's eyes suddenly widen, Yuhi Mako impatiently raised her hand to interrupt, but as soon as she turned around, she found two strangers standing behind her.
Kurenai Yuhi's pupils contracted sharply. Who were these two? How could a Jonin like him not have noticed when they had approached him?
"Rina, back off." *Clang!*
After reminding his wife, Yuhi Shinku drew her long sword from her waist, her red eyes filled with vigilance.
Who are you?
Since neither Gin Uchiha nor Itama Senju had the habit of wearing headbands, and they were currently dressed in casual clothes for shopping, Kurenai Yuhi couldn't immediately determine their identities.
"Curly-haired baboon, step back a little, don't scare the child."
Senju Itama glared at Uchiha Gin, whose eyes kept glancing at the beautiful woman beside him, snatched the red tulip from Gin's hand, and turned to give the newly arrived neighbor couple a warm smile.
"Nice to meet you. We are your neighbors. Please take care of us in the future."
As she spoke, she placed the fragrant tulips into the stunned woman's hands. Perhaps awakened by the delightful aroma, the baby, who had been deep in sleep, slowly opened its eyes, its large, bright red eyes filled with curiosity.
"Neighbor?"
Perhaps it was Senju Itama's genuine smile that caused Yuhi Shinku's wariness to instantly diminish upon hearing these words.
"That's right, that house over there is our home."
Pointing to the Wood Release: Great House in the distance, Senju Itama patiently explained,
"Cuckoo~"
"Curly-haired baboon, don't get so close to the child, or you might be mistaken for a suspected kidnapper."
Hearing the baby's laughter, Senju Itama, who was about to introduce himself, turned his head away, only to find that Uchiha Gin had somehow moved closer to the somewhat reserved-looking beautiful woman. His face instantly darkened.
Ignoring Senju Itama's warning, Uchiha Gintoki flashed what he thought was a cool smile, while simultaneously showing off his muscular biceps.
"Madam, let me introduce myself. I'm the jailer next door. If you ever have any problems with your plumbing, I'll be there whenever you call."
"Hello, I'm Yuhi Rina."
"Oh, it's Mrs. Yuhi. What a lovely name."
Uchiha Gin had only spoken halfway when his expression suddenly froze.
"Sunset? And who are you?"
"My name is Yuhi Shinku".
Sensing that the plumber was trying to take advantage of her, Yuhi Makoto stepped in front of his wife, her eyes filled with seriousness as she stared at the ill-intentioned plumber before her.
Is the sunset really red?
As his memories were gradually awakened, the strange look in Uchiha Gin's eyes intensified. His gaze passed over the wary Kurenai Yuhi and landed on the giggling baby in the beautiful woman's arms.
So she is... Kurenai Yuhi?
"Can't you look at me with a little more politeness, curly-haired baboon?"
Upon discovering that the other woman's husband was present and that Gin Uchiha was staring intently at her, Senju Itama, consumed by jealousy, raised his arm and elbowed Gin hard in the ribs.
"Boom!"
"Hey, what are you thinking? I'm looking at that child. Don't you think she looks a lot like Jingzai when she was little?"
Uchiha Gin, who had been elbowed by the monstrous strength and gasped for breath, grimaced and explained,
Senju Itama blinked in confusion. Why did he suddenly bring up Uchiha Kagami?
Despite her confusion, she subconsciously glanced at the baby in the beautiful woman's arms, whose little hand was reaching out to grab the red tulip.
Now that you mention it, it does seem somewhat similar.
As Uchiha Gin had said, the child did indeed resemble Mirror, especially with his slightly curly black hair and chubby baby face.
"May I ask who you two are?"
Hearing their conversation, Yuhi Maku secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her tone full of inquiry.
"It's all your fault, I forgot to introduce myself."
After giving Uchiha Gin a disdainful look for leading him astray, Senju Itama straightened his expression.
"I am Uchiha Itako, and he is Uchiha Gin. I look forward to working with you in the future."
Uchiha?
Upon hearing that familiar surname, Yuhi Shinku's heart skipped a beat. He had lived a secluded life for years, focused on his training, but he wasn't oblivious to worldly affairs; he had even stood and listened to the ninja clan's regular meetings before.
This Uchiha is their Ninja Clan Alliance's number one enemy and the biggest obstacle to the Ninja Clan Alliance's development.
"You're Uchiha Gin?"
Just as Shinku Yuhi's mind was racing, trying to figure out how to respond, Rina Yuhi's voice, full of surprise, rang out first.
"I believe there is no one else in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who would dare to use this name."
Uchiha Gin nodded, glancing at the newborn in the other's arms. He already had his answer in mind.
"Rina, do you know him?"
Kurenai Yuhi frowned slightly as she looked at her wife's excited face.
"This doctor is a renowned gynecologist in Konoha. I tried to book an appointment with him for a long time but couldn't get one."
"That doctor you've been waiting for ten months and still can't get an appointment with?"
"Yes, it's him!"
Recalling the description of another lucky woman in the ward who had been treated by Uchiha Gin, Yuhi Rina nodded with certainty.
Curly hair, dead fish eyes, a bit smug.
All the characteristics match perfectly, making her undoubtedly a gynecological expert.
"Curly-haired baboon, are you really that famous?"
Due to her physical condition, Senju Itama, who had never been to a hospital in her entire life, frowned and looked at the seemingly unreliable Uchiha Gin with suspicion.
"You'll find out when you go into the delivery room."
"Going into the delivery room? That depends on your performance."
Senju Itama glared fiercely at Uchiha Gin, who was beaming with smugness, and winked, his eyes clearly conveying a mocking expression.
"."
"I'm sorry, I was rude just now."
After Uchiha Gin's true identity as a gynecological expert was exposed, Yuhi Shinku completely lowered her guard, swiftly sheathed her sword, and respectfully bowed to him in apology.
"It's alright, after all, I can't exactly flaunt my expertise as a gynecologist, can I?"
Uchiha Gin waved his hand magnanimously. Yuhi Rina, biting her lip, hesitated for a moment, as if she had made up her mind.
"Silver Saint Hand, I have a favor to ask."
"Just call me Gintoki, we're neighbors now."
Upon hearing Yuhi Rina's strange way of addressing him, Uchiha Gin's eyes twitched slightly, and he quickly corrected her.
"Um... Gintoki, could you please put me on the waiting list? This baby hasn't had his newborn checkup yet." (End of Chapter)
