The Self-Awareness of Leeks

"I choose to sell it for money..." said Uchiha Heitei, a Three-Tomoe clansman.

"Rotten ocular power, old ocular power, idle ocular power—wouldn't it be great to sell them for cash now? Besides, I'm already retired. Do you expect an old man like me to keep my Three-Tomoe active for anything? It's better to sell them and buy my dear grandson some chakra ninja tools. I support this!" the clan elder Uchiha U spoke up in support!

"Everything is for the sake of the Uchiha! Elder Setsuna, please do not act on impulse!" Uchiha Fugaku looked at the isolated Setsuna and said.

"Fugaku! You will regret this!" Uchiha Setsuna exclaimed indignantly!

"Setsuna, I am the Clan Head!" Uchiha Fugaku shouted righteously!

"Hmph, farewell!"

Bang! Uchiha Setsuna stood up and slammed the door behind him as he left!

"Alright, pay no mind to that stubborn old man. Everyone, let us continue discussing the specific details!" Uchiha Fugaku curled his lips, looking at the majority of clansmen who were in agreement.

"Well, the rest is acceptable, but isn't this service fee a bit too steep?" Uchiha Heitei asked, looking somewhat troubled.

"Indeed! We are all brothers of the same blood! Even the loan sharks outside aren't this greedy!" Uchiha Kouotsu added, speechless.

"Let us not say things that are detrimental to our unity. It is understandable for Gen to earn a little price difference; it is all hard-earned money! Perhaps there are even fire-loss costs involved?" Uchiha Fugaku persuaded them with understanding. Besides, it's not like I'm short on this little bit of money, right?

"Gen-kun, is there really no discount at all?" Uchiha Heitei leaned in to ask.

"That's right! Gen-kun, leave a path for others, so we may meet again in the future!" Uchiha Tenka chimed in.

"Gen, I even held you when you were a child!" Uchiha U played the emotional card.

"Gen, I have a daughter, virtuous and beautiful. Would you be interested?" Uchiha Onibi had no bottom line, drawing looks of contempt from the crowd.

"Fellow clansmen, it is not that I, Uchiha Gen, am greedy, but the transit consumption is quite high. I am only earning a small fee for my hard work. If everyone finds it difficult to accept..."

"Then what?"

"Lower the price?"

"Then please find someone more capable~" Uchiha said flatly.

"Tch~" x6

"Alright, don't make things difficult for Gen. Regardless, this is a good thing for everyone and for the clan!" Uchiha Fugaku played the good guy, smoothing things over.

The next day~

"Don't rush, line up and come one by one." Watching his Uchiha brethren charging forward, Uchiha Gen's eyes shone. Finally, he didn't have to sneak around in the middle of the night to absorb Yang energy.

Watching wave after wave of leeks lining up to be harvested, the feeling was simply indescribable. With the active cooperation of so many clansmen, the workload that would have taken half the night to complete was finished in less than two hours!

From now on, it would be once every eight days. As for the money to buy the ocular power, it was naturally covered by the Clan Head and the elders first; they weren't afraid that Uchiha Gen would welsh on the debt anyway!

"Gen, you can rest easy and focus on your work from now on. I've already resigned from the Police Force on your behalf!" Fugaku looked at the endless stream of ocular power being credited to him and patted Gen on the shoulder, revealing a rare smile. The joy of a middle-aged man spending money was just that simple, unadorned, and boring.

After a busy day, Master Gen bid farewell to the addiction-stricken Fugaku and returned to his little nest.

Spirit Transformation Technique? S-rank? Forbidden jutsu? Is it really that hard? I don't believe it.

He extracted the Tsukuyomi Eye's power, leaving only the minimum value of 3,000.

Pre-set Izanagi~

Everything was ready.

Following the hand seals in the Scroll of Sealing and coordinating with the specific chakra circulation route!

Ha! Spirit Transformation Technique~ Activate!

Uchiha Gen~ Died!

Hiss~ Is it this terrifying? In an instant, I felt as if I saw the Sage of Six Paths. This sensation of the soul being ripped away—if not for the effect of Izanagi, I probably would have gone and never returned.

Again!

Spirit Transformation Technique~ Activate!

Died!

Spirit Transformation Technique~ Activate again!

Died!

Spirit Transformation Technique~ Continue!

Continue~ Died!

Ah!!!

What kind of garbage is this? Whoever wants to practice it can practice it! Did that dog of a Third Hokage give me a fake? I can't learn it even if I risk my life? That's enough for today! Sleeping!

The next day~

"Gen, get up and go to work!" Early in the morning, Uchiha Zaohuo came to knock on the door of Gen's house.

"Oh, wait a moment, coming right away." Drowsy, Gen went through the motions of getting up, changing clothes, brushing his teeth, and washing his face like a puppet; the routine seemed carved into his bones!

"Hm? Didn't Fugaku help me resign from the Police Force yesterday? Besides, I don't need to rely on that meager salary from the Police Force to live anymore! With millions of ryo flowing in every minute, who would still go patrol the streets or guard the gate? Not even a dog would!" After splashing his face to wake up, Gen finally remembered that he had quit his job yesterday and could have slept in today!

That detestable Uchiha Zaohuo! Ruining my good dream!

"Zaohuo, it's so cold standing outside! It's autumn now, don't let the cold wind blow on you, watch out for a cold. Come, come inside first!" Uchiha Gen smiled, opened the door, and pulled Zaohuo into the house!

"Huh? Gen, why are you acting so strange today?" Zaohuo asked, bewildered.

"What's strange about it?" Uchiha Gen checked the time and replied calmly.

"You're acting suspiciously nice!" Uchiha Zaohuo laughed.

"That's just how it is. Don't you know how long we've been working together? Come on, it's my treat today. Let's go get some barbecue." Without waiting for an answer, Gen led Uchiha Zaohuo toward the commercial district.

"Ah? Barbecue first thing in the morning? Isn't that a bit too greasy?" Uchiha Zaohuo hesitated.

"It's free barbecue. Are you going to eat it or not?" Uchiha Gen said nonchalantly.

"Eat! Of course I'm going to eat! If I don't, I wouldn't be giving you face. You're a big spender now, haha!" Still, he felt like he had forgotten something important. Forget it, eat the barbecue first. Food in the belly is what matters!

"Oh? Welcome, you two. A booth or a private room?" These two Uchihas are actually here for barbecue this early in the morning. How strange.

"A private room. Bring us one of everything on your signature menu." Uchiha Zaohuo acted as if he were fleecing a fat sheep.

Heh, enjoy your arrogance for a while longer. We'll see how you die soon enough, you evil Uchiha Zaohuo! Disturbing someone's sleep requires paying a painful price! Uchiha Gen followed them to the private room with a stiff, insincere smile.

Half an hour later~

Uchiha Gen, who was busy devouring meat, checked the time and decided it was about time. He asked casually, "Zaohuo, is it good? Does this barbecue suit your taste?"

"Mm, not bad, not bad. It's just a bit greasy for early in the morning. Gen, next time you treat, let's make it in the evening. It's too hot at noon, not really suitable for barbecue. Of course, treating me to something else would be fine." Uchiha Zaohuo said shamelessly while chewing on the meat.

"Oh, is that so? We'll talk about that later. By the way, Zaohuo, it's nine o'clock now!" Uchiha Gen said, appearing well-intentioned.

"Ha? So it's nine o'clock, so what? Do you have something urgent to do? If you do, just go; don't worry about me. I can keep eating. Just remember to pay the bill before you leave. Don't you dare try to skip out on the tab under the guise of having business! I'm... watching you!" As he spoke, he even activated his Two-Tomoe Sharingan.
