บท 104: 104. It's Hard To Guess Inside A Girl's Mind
"You idiot, retreat first!"
"You blackened coal head, don't think you can order me around!"
Due to a disagreement, the two blackened characters were quarreling intensely. The perverted, cunning old "filial son" who had developed over a thousand years subconsciously wanted to choose to retreat, believing it was better to live to fight another day. However, Uchiha Tajima, consumed by dark side, only had one goal in mind: to kill Uchiha Gin.
"Gin, it looks like the clan leader is arguing with that Black stuff on him?"
The gentle, soft-spoken girl shyly tugged at her cloak, not having noticed during the earlier fight. It was only now that she remembered she was essentially wearing nothing underneath the cloak. Her delicate, pale feet awkwardly shifted in place, her dainty toes wriggling in the grass in embarrassment.
"Since they're in-fighting, let's take the initiative."
Uchiha Gin, his eyes clear and saintly, glanced at the girl's bare feet peeking out from under her cloak. Unfazed by the beauty before him, he maintained a serious tone, "Watch for my signal."
With a wink at the girl, Uchiha Gin readied himself to act, donning his three pieces of meat gear to distract the enemy and create an opening for the girl.
"Hey, you brat!"
"Ugh, Gin just winked at me! Does this mean I should start preparing my wedding dress?"
Blushing furiously, the girl clutched her face, her imagination running wild. All it took was one simple action from Uchiha Gin, and she was already fantasizing about an emotional drama.
"Hikari! Where are you?"
Successfully taunting the enemy, Uchiha Gin dashed away, closely followed by Uchiha Tajima, whose eyes glowed red with fury. Gin had intended to approach the dark side of his uncle carefully, hoping to throw a few ninjutsu attacks to divert attention. However, the moment he revealed himself, Tajima ignored Black Zetsu's attempts to hold him back and charged at Gi with bloodlust, sending the curly-haired ninja fleeing in terror.
"Don't be afraid, hide behind me!"
The beauty rescues the hero. The girl stepped in front of the fleeing Uchiha Gin, her face showing displeasure as she stared at Uchiha Tajima, who was being controlled by his dark personality. The intricate patterns in her eyes rotated slightly, releasing a surge of overwhelming ocular power that directly hit the frenzied, Uchiha Tajima.
[Genjutsu: Tsukuyomi]
In an instant, Uchiha Tajima, who had previously been wild with rage, stood frozen in place, the dark aura surrounding him gradually weakening.
"This idiot!"
Black Zetsu possessing Tajima cursed inwardly. This dark personality was difficult to control, too mentally unstable. He vowed never to possess someone so easily again. For now, it was best to escape and bide his time until the next Mangekyō appeared.
"Gin, that guy is escaping!"
The dark figure quickly separated from Uchiha Tajima, dissolving into a puddle of black mud and slipping into the ground. The girl, who had just finished casting Tsukuyomi, spotted the retreating figure and quickly reported it to Uchiha Gin.
"Forget it, we can't catch him. He's as slippery as an eel."
Uchiha Gin furrowed his brow as he watched the "filial son" abandon Tajima and flee. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I'm not just any ordinary person; I could probably grab hold of Black Zetsu."
[Sing ancient words no one understands…]
Gin shook his head, dismissing the strange thoughts that had crept into his mind.
"How's my uncle doing in there? Has he come to his senses?"
Technically, time flowed differently inside the Tsukuyomi. Though only a few minutes had passed outside, inside, his dear uncle had likely endured torture for quite some time. Uchiha Gin could only hope the old man was holding up.
Clasping his hands together, Uchiha Gin silently prayed for his uncle.
"It's weird—there are two clan leaders inside. I didn't know what to do, so I just strung both of them up."
The girl looked troubled. She had eagerly entered the Tsukuyomi space with her weapon in hand, only to find two versions of Uchiha Tajima inside. Unsure how to proceed, she ended up suspending both of them.
"Can I take a look inside?"
It seemed Tajima's situation mirrored that of Uchiha Igaku, with two separate personalities emerging inside the Tsukuyomi. Uchiha Gin was curious about his uncle's current state.
"Sure, just hold my hand."
The girl's eyes sparkled mischievously as she extended her pale hand, indicating that Gin should take it.
Without hesitation, Uchiha Gin placed his large hand over hers, awaiting the opening of the Tsukuyomi.
Wow, her hand is so smooth... but why is it trembling?
Remembering the girl was only wearing a cloak in this cold weather, Uchiha Gin felt guilty for not providing her with more clothing.
The warmth of Gin's hand made the girl blush even more, but she worked hard to calm her thoughts. Slowly, she enveloped the two of them with her deep ocular power.
The scene shifted, bringing Uchiha Gin into the girl's rather... unique Tsukuyomi space.
His teeth tingled slightly, and he forced his twitching eye to stop as he gazed upon the two suspended versions of his uncle. Trying to mask his discomfort, Gin remarked awkwardly, "Hikari, your Tsukuyomi space is... quite unique."
The girl beamed with pride, "Isn't it great? Look, this torture device is called the Iron Maiden. It's filled with needles! And this wooden horse—don't underestimate it—it can grow spikes and drills based on my thoughts! Oh, and over here…"
As she eagerly introduced each of her peculiar torture tools, Uchiha Gin felt chills run down his spine. Who knew such a seemingly innocent girl had such a dark side? He made a mental note to never cross her.
"Let's check on my uncle first."
Feeling increasingly cold, Uchiha Gin quickly interrupted the girl, reminding her of the task at hand.
"Alright, we'll have more time later for a full tour."
With a hint of regret, the girl set aside her spiked club and led Uchiha Gin toward the two suspended versions of Uchiha Tajima.
"Uncle?"
Gin called out, staring at the two identical figures. To his left, one version of Tajima opened his eyes, filled with bloodlust and rage.
"Damn you, Uchiha Gin!"
The dark version of Tajima immediately began ranting, not even bothering to disguise his identity.
Gin had half-expected a classic "which one is the real one?" scenario, but the dark Tajima wasn't even pretending.
"Uncle? Uncle! It's me, your dear nephew!"
Ignoring the dark personality, Uchiha Gin tried to wake the real Tajima, but no matter how much he called, his uncle remained unconscious.
"Uncle! That brat Madara ran off with the Senju heir!"
After some thought, Gin leaned in and whispered into his uncle's ear.
"What? Get my weapon—I'm going to break that brat's legs!"
Tajima snapped awake, eyes wide with shock. Upon seeing Gin, he finally relaxed, "You little rascal, you nearly gave me a heart attack."
Though Uchiha Tajima wasn't afraid of death, the thought of his eldest son going astray terrified him.
"Hikari, hurry and let my uncle down!"
Gin, relieved to see his uncle awake, quickly called out to the girl to release him.
"On it!"
"Uncle, can you keep that thing under control?"
After Uchiha Tajima was freed, Gin pointed to the blackened version of Tajima, still suspended and ranting, asking if his uncle could suppress it.
"To be honest, it's a bit of a struggle."
Tajima frowned as he assessed his mental state, offering a surprising answer.
Is it really that tough to handle? Gin recalled what Uchiha Igaku had said before his death—that without something to suppress it, the dark side would eventually break free.
"I need to continuously expend my ocular power to keep it suppressed," Tajima explained. Given his age, he wasn't sure how long he could hold out. Years of battle had worn his body down, and the toll was becoming too much.
Hearing this, Gin realized just how difficult it would be for his uncle to maintain control, especially at his age.
"What about you, Hikari? How do you suppress your dark side?"
Gin turned to the girl, curious about how she managed to keep her dark personality at bay.
"Huh? What dark side? What are you talking about?"
The girl, lost in daydreams, was completely confused by Igaku's question. She didn't feel like anything was inside her. Startled, she began to check her body for anything strange, but finding nothing, she looked up at him in bewilderment.
With no other option, Gin explained the effects of the entity inside her. Upon hearing this, the girl turned pale, horrified at the thought of having such a dark side within her.
"Ah! I'll never be able to get married now!"
