A Gentleman's Revenge Is Not Too Late Even After Sixty-One Years

Uchiha Gin carried the little brat into the bedroom and casually took off his apron and coat.

The little brat was actually wearing no underwear beneath them, though he did have briefs on. Gin could not help glancing at the front. Kids really were soft and pink, without even a trace of pigment.

He did not look any further, afraid his Sharingan would get styes. After tucking the little brat under the blanket, Uchiha Gin left the room.

He first dealt with Senju Itama's "masterpiece" outside. There was no way he was eating it; the trash can was its best destination.

After doing some simple tidying, Uchiha Gin went to the backyard. The sun had not yet set, and he wanted to see whether he could refresh a skill during the day.

As before, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to wait. A moment later, as the surrounding aura condensed, Uchiha Gin opened his eyes, a look of understanding flashing through them.

It seemed skill refreshes were not tied to a fixed time. Even during the day, as long as he appeared in the backyard, there was a chance of refreshing a skill.

A familiar old friend had appeared again. Looking at the man who had suddenly materialized in front of him without warning, Uchiha Gin sighed.

With only Two-Tomoe, he was utterly countered when facing a ninja like Uchiha Itachi.

But he could not just do nothing, could he? The NPC refreshed by the system should have no emotions or memories and would only fight.

"If I live until you're born, I'll flick your little bird ten thousand times!"

Thinking of Uchiha Itachi, who would not be born until years later, he silently swore in his heart that when the time came, he would not care whether Itachi's father was the Clan Leader or his younger brother was the savior. He would blow his junk off all the same.

"Come on, let the storm rage even harder!"

Uchiha Gin activated his Sharingan, rose to his feet, and prepared for one desperate struggle.

But the moment he activated his Sharingan, he discovered that the vision in his left eye seemed much stronger than that in his right. As he stared at Uchiha Itachi, he actually received feedback that he could learn from.

Three Tomoe? The only explanation for this feeling was that he had become Three Tomoe himself.

The surge in Dojutsu Power sent his confidence soaring. Since he was already at Three Tomoe, was he not only one step away from Mangekyo? It could no longer be said that he had no ability to fight back.

The next second, their gazes collided, and the outcome of this contest of Dojutsu Power was swiftly decided.

Slumped on the ground, Uchiha Gin entered the Tsukuyomi Space once again. He actually felt as though he had returned home.

This time, he was not immediately tied to a cross. Their Dojutsu Powers were still clashing within the Tsukuyomi Space. Feeling his Dojutsu Power rapidly draining away, Uchiha Gin knew he was outmatched and had no way to break the deadlock.

Though the final result was the same, at least he had tried this time.

Countless Uchiha Itachis stabbed sharp blades into his wounds again and again, and Uchiha Gin began another seventy-two hours of torture.

One second later, Uchiha Gin slowly rose from where he had been slumped. At that moment, not only had his left eye advanced to Three Tomoe, but his right eye, which housed the Black Flames, had also successfully advanced to Three Tomoe.

Backyard Daily Random Skill Refresh Genjutsu: Tsukuyomi, obtained Tsukuyomi Fragment*5

Tsukuyomi Fragment (10/40). Gather 40 fragments to synthesize Genjutsu: Tsukuyomi. Learnable by the Mangekyō Sharingan skill.

Seeing that he had unexpectedly obtained five Tsukuyomi Fragments this time, Uchiha Gin once again confirmed his guess.

As long as he fought the NPC refreshed by the system with everything he had, even if he ultimately lost, the reward would be greater than what he received for simply giving up. It was remarkably humane.

As the rewards settled, Uchiha Gin's body returned to normal, and the trauma inflicted by Tsukuyomi vanished with it.

"Grrr~ Grrrr~"

As his stomach rumbled, Uchiha Gin remembered that he had not eaten or drunk anything all day. It was time to make a meal and comfort his wounded heart.

Elsewhere

Inside Uchiha Tajima's residence, Uchiha Tajima was flipping through the clan's records concerning the Whirlpool Clan in his study.

Forest Senju lay between the Uchiha Clan and the Whirlpool Clan. Apart from facing one another on the battlefield, the two clans had no other dealings.

As he read through records passed down within the clan about battles with the Whirlpool Clan, Uchiha Tajima found an entry in a corner.

The entry roughly described how, during a chaotic battle, a clan member who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan fought an expert of the Whirlpool Clan. The opponent used a Sealing Technique that depleted Life Force to seal both his eyes, and the seal remained unbroken until his death.

Uchiha Tajima carefully examined the entry, frowning in thought.

"Is it this kind of seal?"

But according to the records, after that Whirlpool Clan member cast the Sealing Technique, his fiery red hair instantly turned white. He lost his ability to fight outright and was eventually killed by the Uchiha Clan Member whose eyes he had sealed.

The Sealing Technique Uchiha Gin described had merely been written on a Bead. It should not have possessed enough power to break his seal.

Then he recalled Uchiha Miao's mention of slight contact. Could it be that Sealing Technique had opened a gap in his seal?

Just then, Uchiha Gin had awakened the Sharingan, and his Dojutsu Power happened to leak out through that gap in the seal, gradually eroding his seal over time.

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. Uchiha Tajima felt troubled. His eyes had already used one relatively powerful Eye Technique and were still in their cooldown period.

If Uchiha Gin broke through his seal before the cooldown ended, and recalled those events, how was he supposed to face him?

"Bang, bang, bang~"

A rapid knock interrupted Uchiha Tajima's thoughts. "Come in."

"Father, I have something to report."

Uchiha Izuna was drenched from head to toe, panting as though he had just run a marathon.

"What is it, Izuna?"

Uchiha Tajima was fairly gentle with his children.

"Father, do you remember telling me to keep an eye on what Brother has been doing lately?"

Izuna calmed himself before saying, "What, have you found something?"

Uchiha Tajima asked curiously. Uchiha Madara was his future heir, and if he had made any mistakes now, they had to be corrected early.

"I followed Brother several times and discovered that he has been frequently going to the nearby Small River lately."

Uchiha Izuna pursed his lips and continued.

"I found Brother talking with an unfamiliar child. The two of them seem to have become close friends."

"Is that so? What is the other party's identity?"

Hearing that his beloved son was involved with someone from outside the clan, Uchiha Tajima immediately pressed for answers.

"I couldn't tell. I asked Brother, but he only said he didn't know."

Uchiha Izuna was deeply hurt that his most beloved Brother was protecting an outsider. His Brother had actually scolded him for an outsider.

"Fine. The next time Madara goes to meet him, come find me immediately."

Uchiha Tajima's eyes shifted as a plan began brewing in his heart.

"Achoo~"

Uchiha Gin, who had just finished stir-frying the dishes, suddenly felt a chill run down his back. It was strange for him to shiver in front of such a hot stove.

After finishing the meal, Uchiha Gin remembered that there was someone else in the house. He got up and headed to the bedroom, intending to wake Senju Itama and show him what a true "Food God" was.

Senju Itama had terrible sleeping habits. The blanket Gin had covered him with had long since been kicked away, and he wore nothing but briefs, every other part of him exposed to the air.

It was February. Though Fire Country did not get snow, the weather was still bitterly cold.

Worried that the little brat would catch a cold, Uchiha Gin pulled up the blanket that had rolled off to one side with one hand while shaking the drooling, sleeping Senju Itama with the other.

With his movements, Senju Itama, who had only recently fallen asleep, slowly woke up.

In his haze, he saw someone sitting beside the bed. One hand had lifted his blanket, while the other was on him. As his mind gradually cleared, he instantly woke up.

Unable to believe it, he stared at the impatient-looking Uchiha Gin beside his bed. Looking down at the completely exposed view of his Upper Body, Senju Itama let out the loudest scream since being captured.

"Ahhh, pervert!!!"

His eardrums ringing from the scream, Uchiha Gin immediately covered the other's mouth with his hand, only to provoke an even fiercer struggle.

In his shame and fury, Senju Itama did not care what was within reach. He grabbed whatever was beside him and hurled it at Gin, but Uchiha Gin nimbly dodged every object.

"Crash!"

Not noticing what had flown past him, Uchiha Gin heard a crisp shattering sound.

When he turned around, he saw that the Family Photo he had placed by the bed had been thrown against the wall by Senju Itama, and the glass in the frame had shattered.

Frightened by the sound, Senju Itama also calmed down. He pulled the blanket around himself, leaving only his Little Head exposed, and said with a complicated expression, "I didn't mean to."
