Chapter 96: 96. Bouncy
"Be honest, where's Hikari?"
Uchiha Gin grabbed the fuming girl, shaking his massive fist in front of her.
"Or else, family discipline awaits."
"Heh."
The girl rolled her eyes elegantly, sneering at Uchiha Gin with disdain.
"I don't believe you'd— Ahhhh!"
"Dealing with brats like you, I'm quite experienced."
Blowing on his fist, Uchiha Gin felt proud of his growing expertise in the art of punishment, thinking it might be time to add a new secret technique to his list.
"You don't play by the rules!"
The girl, with tears welling up, held her head, pouting and trembling as she complained.
"How dare you hit me? I'm Uchiha Hikaru!"
"I hit you because you're Uchiha Hikaru!"
Never one to tolerate disobedient kids, Uchiha Gin laid the girl across his lap and unleashed the family's "discipline" on her round, bouncy behind.
Slap! Slap! Slap!!!
"You dare hit my butt!"
The blackened Hikaru's face was flushed with embarrassment, but no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't escape the iron grip of Uchiha Gin's hands.
"Ah? Stand still now~"
The crisp sound echoed across the battlefield.
"I won't do it again, I swear~"
Sitting on the ground, clutching her backside, the girl lowered her tearful face, unable to look the devilish man before her in the eyes.
Tsk, the feel is on par with that Senju kid.
Shaking his slightly reddened hand, Uchiha Gin mentally compared it to Senju Itama. In the end, the two were quite evenly matched. No, if he were being honest, the Senju kid might have a slight edge.
Ah, poor Uchiha children.
He shook his head, silently condemning the Uchiha clan for not prioritizing the healthy growth and development of their kids.
"Alright, now can you tell me who you really are?"
Kneeling down, Uchiha Gin patted the still-sniffling girl on the shoulder, offering a smile that he thought was "kind" as he softly asked,
"Don't come near me!!!"
The girl tightly gripped her dark green cloak, wrapping it around herself while leaving only her small, trembling head exposed.
Seeing her so resistant, Uchiha Gin rubbed his chin in frustration. It seemed like he had traumatized her so much that she was trembling just at the sight of him.
Sigh~ No way, looks like I won't get anything out of her now.
Given the urgent situation, Gin decided not to push the girl any further. Hikari's unusual behavior would have to be examined later.
The wind was too strong up on Susanoo, so, worried that the girl would catch a cold, Gin kindly reached out to put the hood of her cloak over her head to keep her warm.
"Huh? Gin, where are we?"
The moment he placed the hood on her, the girl's aura shifted abruptly, from violent and bloodthirsty to gentle and calm.
Looking up with a slightly surprised expression, the girl, now back to normal, glanced around in confusion and asked,
"Are you Hikari?"
Uchiha Gin, wary of a trick, asked with a fierce expression,
"Are you an idiot? Haha~"
Seeing Uchiha Gin's dumbfounded look, the girl couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Not completely convinced, Gin used his long-neglected sensory skills, but the feedback from Hikari was full of nothing but good intentions, finally putting his mind at ease.
"Do you remember what just happened?"
Gin, now sure that Hikari was back to normal, pointed to the pink Susanoo beneath their feet and asked,
"You were chasing me with a giant robot for quite a while."
"What???"
Hearing such an outrageous statement, the girl covered her mouth in disbelief.
"Impossible! My Susanoo can only form a pair of hands. I haven't learned how to do anything else!"
After transplanting Uchiha Gin's Mangekyō Sharingan, the girl hadn't fully learned how to use Susanoo before she was sealed. In her memory, she could only conjure a skeletal form of Susanoo.
In battles, she typically used techniques like Yasaka Spears, Amaterasu, or Tsukuyomi to sweep enemies. She had never needed Susanoo in a one-on-one fight, so it hadn't crossed her mind to strengthen it.
"Then go ahead and undo your Susanoo. We need to help my uncle."
Since the girl had recovered, Gin decided to put this matter aside for now. Uchiha Tajima was still in a 1v2 situation, with one opponent being the infamous schemer Wangliang. If his uncle fell into a trap, it would be too late.
The girl obediently dismissed her half-formed Susanoo and climbed back onto Gin's familiar back. Gin didn't worry about propriety, quickly lifting her lightweight body and sprinting toward Uchiha Tajima.
"Ah~~"
The girl let out a soft moan as Gin's hands landed unexpectedly, feeling a burning sting in the area he had struck earlier. Blushing with embarrassment, she could hardly bear the sensation.
With Gin's large hand resting on her sore spot, the pain mixed with a strange feeling, making the young girl shiver slightly, her body involuntarily trembling.
"Stop squirming!"
Sensing the girl's fidgeting on his back, Gin lightly tapped her and warned,
"Ahhh~!"
"And stop making those sounds!"
Startled once more by his touch, the girl cried out again before collapsing limply onto Gin's firm back, panting softly, finally falling silent.
By the time Gin arrived by Uchiha Tajima's side, he found that the anticipated battle hadn't occurred.
Both sides had paused, and as he appeared, five pairs of eyes stared at him, filled with questions.
"Why are you all looking at me? Is the fight over? Are you accepting my mediation?"
Seeing the lack of conflict, Gin was puzzled. Uchiha Igaku had always spoken of Tajima with hatred, so why was everything so quiet now?
"Gin, what was that jutsu you just used? I've never seen anything like it."
The first to ask was, surprisingly, the opposing Uchiha Igaku. After witnessing the technique that could suppress the legendary Susanoo, the seasoned scholar in him couldn't help but be curious.
Hearing this, the other four pairs of eyes also looked expectantly at Gin, waiting for his answer.
"Oh, that."
Gin first set the girl down. Perhaps it was the strain from using Susanoo, but she stumbled slightly when her feet touched the ground.
"Watch closely. Left hand for earth, right hand for water, then like this—bam, and there it is."
With a serious look, Uchiha Gin raised his hands, earth chakra flowing in his left hand, and water chakra swirling in his right. Then, with a loud clap, he slammed them together.
The two completely different chakra natures merged in his hands, and a soft green glow began to emit from them, exuding a vast and vibrant life force, shattering the perceptions of the seasoned ninjutsu experts present.
Gin's display nearly caused Uchiha Igaku to suffer a stroke, his longstanding beliefs shattered by what he had just witnessed. It was only thanks to Black Zetsu's intervention that he avoided a catastrophe.
"Do you think we're idiots?"
Igaku, trembling, raised a finger to point at Gin's nose, shouting angrily. If Gin weren't his grandson, he would have already unleashed a dojutsu to teach him a lesson.
"I always tell the truth, grandpa!"
