Chapter 41 The Fall of a Genius

Uchiha Gin, who was pulled into the shadow by the old jailer, felt suffocated. The surroundings were as dark as ink, and his facial features had no sense of the outside world. A feeling of powerlessness followed.

Trying to open the Sharingan, Uchiha Gin, with scarlet eyes, was surprised to find that he could actually offset the invasion of darkness around him by relying on his pupil power.

As his pupil power increased, his senses were liberated, and he saw the old jailer standing opposite him.

"What is your purpose?"

Although he got help from the other party, Uchiha Gin, who was not sure whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, did not dare to be careless.

"Hehehe, I've been waiting for you."

The old jailer's white eyes revealed a long-suppressed expectation,

"When you enter the No. 0 dungeon and find the person waiting for you, you will know everything."

The old jailer spoke without a beginning or an end. Before Uchiha Gin asked again, he felt his body lighten, and in the blink of an eye he returned to Uchiha Ryukage's office.

At this time, Uchiha Ryukage had already left, and Uchiha Gin looked down at his calm reflection.

Without much hesitation, he reached out to touch the vase on Uchiha Liuying's desk. As the vase rotated, the bookshelf behind the desk flipped over, and a dark and deep secret passage appeared in front of Uchiha Yin.

It seems that this is the entrance to Dungeon No. 0. Uchiha Yin is now in a dilemma. All the known clues point to this dungeon. Whether the mystery of the original owner's memory can be solved can only be found in the dungeon.

Entering the secret door, there is a switch on the wall. Uchiha Yin tried to turn it, and the secret door of the dungeon flipped back. It seems that this is the switch of the secret door.

Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Yin did not dare to close the Sharingan. He stared at the surroundings with a pair of scarlet eyes and vigilantly scanned the surroundings to guard against sudden dangers.

The layout of Dungeon No. 0 is similar to several other dungeons. The dilapidated cells on both sides of the corridor have long been abandoned.

A pungent musty smell made Uchiha Yin frown, but since it was personally guarded by Uchiha Liuying, there must be unknown secrets hidden in it.

As Uchiha Gin went deeper, mottled skeletons appeared in the cells on both sides. From the irregular bends of the skeletons' hands and feet, it can be seen that the prisoners here have been tortured extremely cruelly.

Uchiha Gin did not find anything else except the corpses along the way, until he came to the last cell closed by an iron door.

Looking at the seal composed of complex techniques on the door, Uchiha Gin knew he had found it.

He knew nothing about the seal technique, and looked at the door in front of him worriedly. If he broke it with force, it would definitely be discovered by later people.

But he didn't have the skill to pick the lock. Just when he was at a loss, the familiar voice of the old jailer came from the shadow behind him,

"Hehehe, I can take you in."

"Then I'll trouble you, senior."

Turning his head and looking at the old jailer who smiled at him, Uchiha Gin did not refuse.

Since the other party has been leading him to this place, he must want him to meet the people imprisoned in the dungeon.

Besides, he was not an important figure in the clan, so there was no need for the old jailer to go to great lengths for a useless Uchiha with a very bad reputation.

Hearing Uchiha Gin's answer without any hesitation, the old jailer seemed to have expected it, and then stretched out his chicken claw-like withered hands and pulled Uchiha Gin into the shadow again.

The reflection without the body did not dissipate, but slowly seeped into the gap between the iron gates like a pool of ink, and soon squeezed in completely.

Uchiha Gin, who had experienced the shadow once, did not feel too uncomfortable this time. He only felt that he passed through the iron gate into the cell with his eyes closed and opened.

The environment in the cell was not as bad as Uchiha Gin imagined. The walls were clean and new, and there was a bookshelf. Simple furniture was available. It was more like a study room than a prison.

There was a desk next to the bookshelf. A figure with his back to Uchiha was writing at the desk. When he heard someone move, the figure stopped writing and slowly stood up.

"You are finally here."

The owner of the voice turned around, with gray curly hair and a face full of excitement.

One of his eyes was as gray as the old jailer's, and his hunched body trembled slightly with excitement after seeing Uchiha Yin.

"Who are you?"

The old man in front of him was exactly the same as the old man in the photo he found at home. Looking at the old man's familiar curly hair and similar appearance, Uchiha Yin vaguely guessed the other party's identity.

"Really, don't you remember?"

The old man saw Uchiha Yin's strange expression, restrained his emotions, and his face was as he expected.

"My name is Uchiha Yao."

The old man said a strange name from his mouth, "I have a son named Uchiha Jin."

Uchiha Jin, the father who died early in the original owner's memory, he recalled the gentle man in his memory, and the identity of the old man opposite was about to be revealed.

"Are you my grandfather?"

Uchiha Yin asked carefully.

"That's right, my great grandson."

Uchiha Yao nodded with satisfaction.

"Then why don't I have any impression of you?"

The identity of the old man was exactly the same as his guess, and Uchiha Yin couldn't help asking without any doubt.

"This is a long story, but you have to remember..." Uchiha Yao shook his head with a sigh, and then said something shocking,

"The culprit who caused all this is your uncle, Uchiha Tajima."

"???"

Uchiha Gin has a headache, and the original owner remembers his cousin Uchiha Tajima who took great care of him.

It was hard for him to accept that his grandfather would actually be accused of causing his memory loss.

Looking at Uchiha Gin's incredulous expression, Uchiha Yao explained the whole story.

"More than ten years ago, I was the head of the clan's research department, dedicated to developing the power of the clan's Sharingan."

"Just like that Uchiha Miao?"

Uchiha Gin couldn't help but interject, saying that his grandfather was actually the head of the research department, and now he could be considered a high-ranking disciple.

"Hmph! Uchiha Miao, that coward."

Uchiha Yao seemed to sneer at the current head of the research department.

"And the Uchiha Yan who imprisoned me, they are both my cousins."

Unexpectedly, the two most prosperous elders in the Uchiha clan are both his relatives, but from Uchiha Yao's expression, it can be seen that he has a lot of conflicts with them.

"Let's not mention these two traitors."

Uchiha Yao didn't bother to waste his time on these two people.

"It all started from the day my son died in battle."

When Uchiha Yao mentioned his son, his tone seemed very sad.

It can be said that dying for the family is a supreme honor, but for Uchiha Yao, this is a gift from a white-haired man to a black-haired man, which makes this old man who is nearly 70 years old even more stooped.

Regarding Uchiha Jin's sacrifice, there was only a faint trace in Uchiha Gin's mind, as if most of it had been wiped away.

No matter how much he tried to recall the details, he couldn't remember them, and the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt, as if he was being pricked with needles.

"My son Uchiha Jin was once the number one genius in the clan and the most powerful contender for the position of clan leader."

Uchiha Yao couldn't help but feel proud when he talked about his son.

My father is actually the number one genius? Uchiha Silverhead almost shut down.

The original owner had very few images of his father in his memory. He only remembered that his father was very gentle. He was obedient to his wife at home and cared for him. He was a top model husband, but he did not have much impression of his strength.

"Your father opened his eyes at the age of eight and became a three-magatama at the age of twelve. He crushed many ninjas at the same time. He was a real genius. But..."

Uchiha Yao continued,

"He didn't deserve to die! I thought he died on the battlefield and died for the honor of the family."

"Isn't it?" Uchiha Gin asked with a frown.

Warm reminder: The next many chapters will involve multiple narrative timelines. What the characters say may be true or false. It may seem a bit difficult. Generally speaking, it is to reveal the original owner’s life experience. Novices can’t control the writing style well. Please read it carefully. Please be patient. After I finish speaking, it will be the stage for the protagonist, Uchiha Gin.

Ps: The original owner and the protagonist are two completely different people. The original owner is a person who traveled through time in the second chapter.
