Uchiha Kin returned to the tent and removed the medical protective suit, revealing the casual clothes underneath.
It was a monotonous white garment, covered in overlapping, intertwining black spirals that made one dizzy upon direct gaze. The inner layer was the same color, though the style varied somewhat.
Completely different from the black, dark blue, and grass green favored by the Uchiha Clan.
Uchiha Kin had worn this since childhood and insisted on continuing.
No other reason—

Just a dislike of being peeped at.
Hyuga Ken rubbed his slightly swollen temples and muttered, "Hey, can't you change your clothes? This is way too un-Uchiha." In truth, it was just too dizzying to look at. Using his Byakugan on Uchiha Kin revealed a humanoid figure covered in intricate, dizzying patterns.
Uchiha Kin said, "No. I think this outfit is fine... White, pure; black, orderly."
"So, you even wear it in the bath?" Hyuga Ken casually brought up an infuriating detail.
Sure enough, Uchiha Kin's expression shifted. "What, you spied on me bathing?" He paused, then shouted, "Pervert."
Hyuga Ken flushed red. "Pah, pah, why would I watch you when there's a women's bathhouse? If I'm watching anyone, it's Nohara Rin!"
Uchiha Kin raised a finger. "Shh," he hushed. "Don't let Obito hear that, or he'll kill you."
"What? What's that? Why would I kill you?" A voice cut in abruptly—a peer wearing goggles.
He was dressed in common Uchiha attire, radiating energy, and bounded over in a few leaps. "Hey, you two. Long time no see! And you're badmouthing me like this!"
Uchiha Kin said offhandedly, "He said he wanted to peep on Nohara Rin bathing..."
"Ah, bastard, I'll kill you!"
The air suddenly expanded as a white-haired boy in a black mask appeared, one hand on Obito's shoulder to stop him. "Kin, Ken, long time no see." It was Kakashi.
"Kin, Ken!"
Nohara Rin was slower, running over from a distance. When she called "Kin," her tone was noticeably excited.
Obito clicked his tongue, turning away in displeasure, and muttered viciously, "A useless Uchiha who can't even open his eyes—what's so great about him? I'm different. I'll definitely open my eyes in the future, and it'll be a three-tomoe Sharingan!"
"Obito!" Nohara Rin stopped Obito, then spoke softly to Uchiha Kin. "Kin, Obito's just like that. Don't take it to heart."
"Hey, I—" Obito was about to say something when a blond man in a jonin vest walked over, a sunny smile on his face. "Kin, I need to trouble you. High Ninja Ishihara's right arm was forcibly amputated due to poisoning, so..."
Uchiha Kin nodded and asked, "Is the replacement arm ready?"
"It's ready."
Uchiha Kin said to Hyuga Ken, "Looks like our catching up will have to wait." He nodded and called over Jasmine and Golden Chrysanthemum. "We have a surgery, but it's not difficult. You two go prepare first...
"The patient needs a new arm. One, clean the wound site where the arm will be attached. Two, prepare the spare arm and maintain its vitality with the Mystical Palm Technique. Wait for me."
"Yes!"
Jasmine and Golden Chrysanthemum didn't change clothes, asked for the tent location, and went ahead to prepare.
Uchiha Kin changed clothes and followed shortly after. The preparations inside were already complete.
Uchiha Kin had Jasmine and Golden Chrysanthemum align the arm, then pressed his hand to the connection point. Yellowish nerves extended from his palm, pierced through the glove, and entered the patient's body. The arm and shoulder connected in an instant.
Minato, Kakashi, Nohara Rin, and Obito waited outside the tent. Hyuga Ken waited too.
As he waited, he habitually activated his Byakugan.
The veins at the corners of his eyes bulged like twisted, protruding tree roots, tangled and dense. But a white cloth wrapped around them, hiding the details from view.
He endured the dizziness and discomfort from the spiral patterns—full of geometric beauty—in his vision, watching unblinkingly as Uchiha Kin completed the surgery.
Those nerves, one by one, were the most beautiful things in his eyes, and the things he most urgently needed!
"No rejection, plug-and-play. This suturing method... it's like art.
"He can actually do this. It's incredible. As expected of you, my teammate."
Uchiha Kin's surgery took less than a minute to finish. The pale yellow nerves sank into the patient's flesh, vanishing from sight.
Uchiha Kin said to Ishihara, "Try it."
High Ninja Ishihara moved his new arm, a look of surprise on his face. "This arm is really strong..." He had a sudden thought and refined some chakra. "It even has Earth-nature chakra nature transformation."
The arm's original owner was a Rock Ninja, skilled in the Earth Release Hardening Technique, with very powerful arms.
Such an arm naturally carried the instinct for chakra refinement and nature transformation honed over years of training.
Uchiha Kin said, "Good. Rest well."
As Uchiha Kin was about to leave, Ishihara suddenly called out, "Wait. Lord Kin!" He addressed Uchiha Kin as "Lord." Uchiha Kin turned back in confusion. Ishihara hesitated. "That, Lord Kin, you see..."
He gathered his courage. "Could you... replace my other arm with the Rock Ninja's other arm too? And yes, the core muscle group...
"Like this, my strength is unbalanced. This arm is too strong, while my other arm is too weak."
Of course, the real reason—the Earth-nature nature transformation—he didn't mention.
That would make him seem too greedy.
"Ishihara-kun... I am a doctor, and I have my principles. Replacing your arm was to treat your disability, but your current request..." Uchiha Kin looked at Ishihara and asked, "Extra, non-essential medical treatment requires you to pay out of pocket. Are you willing?"
When Uchiha Kin refused, Ishihara felt disappointed. But hearing that extra treatment required his own money, he brightened up.
"Willing, I'm willing!"
Uchiha Kin nodded and said to Jasmine beside him, "Go prepare an agreement and have High Ninja Minato come in. This matter needs a third party to witness."
