Chapter 39 Light and Silver Grandfather and Grandson

Uchiha Gin, who was about to get angry, looked at the pitiful Senju Itama and felt that there was no need to get angry with a little kid. He squatted down and took out the family photo from the broken photo frame.

The picture of the happy family of three made Uchiha Gin sigh. The original owner's childhood memory was vague and he didn't have a deep impression of his parents, but judging from the photo alone, the original owner's childhood should be very happy.

"So I hate war."

Shaking his head, Uchiha Gin picked up the photo and prepared to get up, but found that there was another photo stuck in the photo frame.

The original owner had no memory of this. Puzzled, Uchiha Gin took out the hidden photo and looked at it carefully.

The photo showed two children, a boy and a girl, who were about eight or nine years old.

The two stood on the left and right in front of an old man who looked very kind. The old man stroked the children's heads with both hands. From the happy expressions of the two children, it can be seen that the relationship between the three is very close.

Uchiha Gin recognized the child on the left as the original owner, Uchiha Gin, but he had no impression of the girl.

The girl had black hair down to her waist, fair skin, and wore a blue dress, with a shy blush.

The old man had gray curly hair, a kind look, and his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Uchiha Gin.

Looking at the photo in his hand, Uchiha Gin tried hard to search the original owner's memory, starting from the time when he could remember things, but still found no information about the two people in the photo.

Flipping the photo, Uchiha Gin found two small words on the back of the photo,

[Silver][Light]

"Silver" should refer to the original owner, Uchiha Gin, so the "Light" should be the girl in the photo.

"Uchiha... Light?"

Uchiha Gin, who guessed the girl's name, did not find any trace of this name in his mind.

He frowned, and felt that the original owner's memory was very biased. Not only were his childhood memories vague, but the memories of the Uchiha clan tragedy six years ago were also fragmented.

Could it be that the original owner suffered from selective amnesia?

He would actively forget the memories that made him feel uncomfortable, so he lost the memories before and after his parents' sacrifice, as well as the memories of the clan tragedy.

"I'm sorry~"

Senju Itama curled up in the bed and saw Uchiha Gin's face changing after picking up the photo, and subconsciously thought that the other party was very angry.

He could tell from Uchiha Gin's family that the other party's parents might have long passed away. Breaking the only family portrait undoubtedly deepened Uchiha Gin's sadness.

"Little boy, I have to go out for something. There is food outside."

Uchiha Gin, who was eager to find the answer, didn't bother to deal with Senju Itama, the little boy, and hurried out after giving him a word of advice.

Senju Itama, who did not suffer the "just punishment" of Uchiha Gin as he imagined, carefully poked his head out and saw that the other party actually left directly, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

He tiptoed out with a quilt wrapped in a blanket, looking at the steaming food left on the table, and an inexplicable emotion spread in his eyes.

Uchiha Gin walked on the road, trying to recall a few people who were close to the original owner, wanting to learn about the original owner's childhood from them.

But he suddenly found that he only had intersections with the Uchiha Tajima family in his memory, and some other clan members seemed to be casual acquaintances.

He could say their names, but he had only a vague concept of his experience with them, which suddenly gave him goose bumps all over his body.

He had already walked to the gathering place of the clan and looked back at the bustling crowd around him.

Uchiha Gin was horrified to find that he seemed to know everyone here, but he just couldn't remember the details of what happened between this person and him, as if there was a cognition that he should know the people he wanted to know, that's all.

This discovery made Uchiha Gin shudder, and the air around him seemed to be filled with lead, making his steps hang in the air and unable to step down.

The original owner not only had memory loss, but also had a big problem with cognition. What is the source of all this?

"How can you be sure that what you see is true?"

"How do you know that you are really yourself?"

Suddenly I remembered the two sentences the old jailer said before I was about to faint in the dungeon, which hinted at something.

Taking a deep breath, calming down his restless heart, Uchiha Gin walked towards Uchiha Tian's mansion in the eyes of the surrounding Uchiha clan members who rejected him.

Looking at the familiar door in front of him, Uchiha Gin knocked on the door without hesitation.

After a while, a servant opened the door and saw that the person coming was Uchiha Gin. He let him in without asking too many questions.

Walking on the creaking wooden floor, Uchiha Gin was thinking about how to start the conversation, but he ran into Izuna who had just come out of Uchiha Tajima's room.

"Cousin, you haven't been to my house for a long time. Why did you think of coming here today?"

Since Uchiha Gin was defeated by Madara, he has never stepped into the Uchiha Tajima family once. The Uchiha Tajima family just felt that it was very embarrassing for the other party to be defeated by a child ten years younger, so they chose to escape.

"I suddenly want to ask my uncle something."

Uchiha Gin explained his purpose,

"After being unconscious during the day, I found that my pupil power seemed to have improved a little."

After hearing Uchiha Gin's explanation, Uchiha Izuna didn't think much. He had his own mission now and had no extra thoughts to care about Uchiha Gin's affairs. He said hello and left in a hurry.

Relying on his memory, he came to Uchiha Tajima's door and knocked a few times. After a few seconds, Uchiha Tajima's cold voice came from the room,

"Who?"

"Cousin, I have something to ask you."

Uchiha Gin exited in response.

"Crunch~"

Following a few footsteps, the door was opened. Uchiha Tajima lost his stern expression outside and said with a warm face,

"It's Ah Yin. I haven't been here for several years. I thought you had forgotten where I live."

Entering Uchiha Tajima's study, the two sat opposite each other. Uchiha Tajima spoke first,

"Ah Yin, you have just been discharged from the hospital and are not having a good rest at home. Why did you come to see me?"

"Actually, I have something to ask my cousin."

Uchiha Gin said straight to the point.

"About what?"

Hearing that the other party asked something, Uchiha Tajima frowned subconsciously.

"I just want to ask, apart from my parents and my cousin, what other relatives do I have?"

Recalling the old man who looked like him in the photo, Uchiha Gin asked after pondering for a while.

"Is this it?"

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Gin actually asked this question, which made Uchiha Tajima speechless for a while.

Uchiha Tajima was lost in thought, while Uchiha Gin waited aside without disturbing him.

"Why do you ask?"

Without answering Uchiha Gin's question for the time being, Uchiha Tajima asked.

"I found a photo of an old man at home. It looks familiar, but I just don't recognize it, so I want to ask my cousin about you."

After careful consideration, Uchiha Gin still told what he had discovered, but did not show the photo to the other party.

"Old man." A trace of imperceptible resentment flashed in Uchiha Tajima's eyes, and he said in a heavy tone,

"Actually, you still have a grandfather."

grandfather? Could it be that the old man in the photo is his grandfather?

"However, the relationship between your grandfather and your father is not good. They stopped contacting each other very early."

Seeing Uchiha Gin's questioning look, Uchiha Tajima continued to explain,

"And your grandfather passed away six years ago."

Six years ago again? Uchiha Gin's heart skipped a beat, and Uchiha Tajima actually said that his grandfather had no contact with his family for a long time, so what was the explanation for that photo? The original owner obviously had a lot of interactions with his grandfather.

"Then can I ask how my grandfather died?"

Uchiha Gin tried to find more clues.

Uchiha Tajima's face darkened, and a visible decadence emanated from his body, as if he remembered something sad, and his figure became rickety.

"He was killed on the night the tribe was attacked six years ago."
