"I choose to sell mine for money..." said Uchiha Heitei, a Three-Tomoe clan member.
"Worn-out eyes, old eyes, spare eyes—we can sell them all for money now. How nice! I'm retired already. What do you expect an old man like me to do with my presbyopic eyes and Three-Tomoe Sharingan? Better to sell them and buy my good grandson a chakra tool. I support this!" Uchiha U, one of the clan elders, voiced his support!
"It's all for the sake of the Uchiha Clan! Elder Setsuna, please don't let your emotions get the better of you!" Uchiha Fugaku said, looking at Setsuna, who stood alone without support!
"Fugaku! You'll regret this!" Uchiha Setsuna said indignantly!
"Setsuna, I'm the clan leader!" Uchiha Fugaku declared righteously!
"Hmph. I'm leaving!"
Bam~ Uchiha Setsuna stood up and slammed the door behind him!
"Fine, ignore that stubborn old fool. Let's continue discussing the details!" Uchiha Fugaku said, the corner of his mouth lifting as he looked at the majority of clan members who supported the proposal!
"Mm, I can accept everything else, but isn't this handling fee a bit too steep?" Uchiha Heitei said, somewhat troubled!
"Exactly! We're all brothers and sisters of the same clan! Even the loan sharks out there don't charge this much!" Uchiha Kouotsu said helplessly!
"Don't say things that undermine our unity. It's only natural for Gen to make a little profit. He's just earning a bit for his hard work! There might even be some loss during the process, you know?" Uchiha Fugaku said considerately, trying to smooth things over! It's not like I'm short a few coins, right?
"Gen, there really isn't any discount?" Uchiha Heitei leaned in and asked!
"Yeah, Gen, leave some room for others, and you'll meet again someday!" Uchiha Tenka interjected!
"Gen, I used to carry you when you were little!" Uchiha U played the sentimental card!
"Gen, I have a daughter who's virtuous and beautiful. Would you be interested?" Uchiha Onibi had no bottom line whatsoever, drawing contemptuous looks from everyone.
"Fellow clan members, it's not that I, Uchiha Gen, am being greedy. The transfer process takes a lot out of me, and I'm only making a little for my hard work. If you all find it hard to accept..."
"What then?"
"Lower the price?"
"Then find someone else~" Uchiha Gen said calmly!
"Tch~" ×6
"Fine, don't make things difficult for Gen. However you look at it, this is good for everyone and for the clan!" Uchiha Fugaku played the good guy and stepped in to smooth things over!
The next day~
"Don't rush. Get in line and come one at a time." Watching his fellow Uchiha clan members eagerly lining up, Uchiha Gen's eyes lit up. At last, I don't have to sneak around in the middle of the night, quietly sucking out their Yang Chakra.
Watching wave after wave of leeks line up to be harvested of their own accord was an indescribable feeling. With so many clan members cooperating willingly, work that would normally take most of the night was finished in less than two hours!
From now on, it would be once every eight days. As for the money to buy their ocular power, the clan leader and elders would front it first, of course. It wasn't as if they had to worry about Uchiha Gen refusing to pay them back!
"Gen, just focus on your proper work from now on. I've already helped you resign from the Police Force!" Fugaku said, patting Gen on the shoulder as he watched the ocular power keep pouring in. For once, he wore a smile. The joy of a middle-aged man who loved to spend money on power was simple, unadorned, and monotonous.
After a busy day, Master Gen bid farewell to Fugaku, who was addicted to spending money on power, and returned to his little home.
Spirit Transformation Technique? S-rank? A forbidden technique? Is it really that hard? I refuse to believe it.
Extract the Tsukuyomi Eye's ocular power, leaving only the minimum value of 3,000.
Prepare Izanagi~
Everything's ready.
Follow the hand seals in the Scroll of Sealing, then combine them with the specific chakra circulation route!
Ha! Spirit Transformation Technique—activate!
Uchiha Gen~ deceased!
Hiss~ Is it really this terrifying? For a split second, I thought I saw the Sage of Six Paths. That feeling of my soul being pulled out... If Izanagi hadn't taken effect, I probably wouldn't have made it back.
Again!
Spirit Transformation Technique—activate!
Deceased!
Spirit Transformation Technique—activate again!
Deceased!
Spirit Transformation Technique—keep going!
Keep going~ deceased!
Ah!!!
What kind of lousy technique is this? Whoever wants to learn it can go ahead! Did that old dog, the Third Hokage, give me a fake copy? I've risked my life trying, and I still can't learn it? That's enough for today. Time to sleep!
The next day~
"Gen, get up and get to work!" Early in the morning, Uchiha Zaohuo came knocking on Gen's door.
"Oh, wait a minute. I'll be right there." Still groggy, Gen got out of bed like a puppet, got dressed, brushed his teeth, and washed his face. The whole routine seemed etched into his bones!
Hm? Didn't Fugaku already help me quit my job at the Police Force yesterday? And I don't need that little Police Force salary to live on anymore. I'm making millions of ryo every minute—who would still patrol the streets and stand guard? Not even a dog would do it! Only after splashing his face with cold water did Gen remember that he'd quit yesterday. He could've slept in today!
Damn Uchiha Zaohuo! You ruined my beautiful dream!
"Zaohuo, it's cold out there. Autumn's here, so don't stand in the chilly wind or you'll catch a cold. Come on in first!" Uchiha Gen said with a broad grin as he opened the door and pulled Zaohuo inside!
"Huh? Gen, why are you acting so strange today?" Zaohuo asked, puzzled!
"What's strange?" Uchiha Gen asked calmly, glancing at the time!
"You're acting pretty nice, actually!" Uchiha Zaohuo laughed!
"Of course. We've worked together for so long, after all. Come on, it's my treat today. Let's go to Yakiniku Q." Without giving Zaohuo a chance to object, Gen led him toward the shopping district!
"Huh? Barbecue this early in the morning? Won't it be too greasy?" Uchiha Zaohuo hesitated.
"It's free barbecue. Are you eating or not?" Uchiha Gen said indifferently!
"Eating! Of course I'm eating! If I don't, I'd be insulting you. You're a rich man now, after all. Haha!" Though I feel like I've forgotten something important... Never mind. Let's eat first. Once it's in my stomach, I'll be fine!
"Oh? You two, welcome! A booth or a private room?" These two Uchiha had actually come to eat barbecue first thing in the morning. How unusual~
"A private room. Bring us one of everything from your signature barbecue menu." Uchiha Zaohuo looked ready to fleece a rich man!
"Heh, enjoy your moment of triumph while you can. Let's see how you fare later, you wicked Uchiha Zaohuo! Disturbing my sleep comes at a terrible price!" Uchiha Gen wore a smile that didn't reach his eyes as the two of them headed to the private room!
Half an hour later~
As he tucked into his meat, Uchiha Gen figured enough time had passed and casually asked, "Zaohuo, is it good? Does the barbecue suit your taste?"
"Mm, it's good, it's good. It does feel a bit greasy having it first thing in the morning, though. Gen, next time, treat me at dusk. Noon's too hot, so that's no good for barbecue either. Of course, you can treat me to something else." Uchiha Zaohuo said brazenly through a mouthful of barbecue!
"Oh, I see. We'll talk about it next time. By the way, Zaohuo, it's nine o'clock now!" Uchiha Gen said, seemingly out of kindness!
"Huh? So what if it's nine? Are you in a hurry? If you are, go ahead. Don't mind me—I can keep eating. Just remember to pay the bill. Don't think you can use being busy as an excuse to skip out! I'm watching you!" As he spoke, he even activated his Two-Tomoe Sharingan...
