"Excellent, a new mission finally!"
The long-awaited mission had finally refreshed. Uchiha Kazuhiko immediately halted his steps towards the door and opened the mission panel to check.

He had seen Black Iron and Bronze missions before, so their appearance wasn't surprising. However, this was the first time a Gold-rank mission had appeared before Uchiha Kazuhiko.
The Defiler Archimonde was the most powerful subordinate of the Dark Titan Sargeras, one of the commanders of the Burning Legion, a mighty demon who had led the Legion's armies to destroy countless worlds.
With Archimonde's strength, it was only considered a Gold-rank mission. It was truly impossible to imagine what kind of enemies would appear in those Diamond or King-rank missions.
As before, he directly eliminated the high-difficulty Gold and Bronze missions. Uchiha Kazuhiko accepted the first Black Iron mission.
Having already prepared many things for the Chunin Exams, Uchiha Kazuhiko didn't waste time this time and chose to teleport immediately.
A slight feeling of weightlessness later, Uchiha Kazuhiko appeared in a simple barracks room.
Simultaneously, he received the background information transmitted by the system.
[Host's background modified to member of Colonel Phillips' special forces squad. Accept orders from Colonel Phillips to proceed to Hydra's last base with Captain America to stop Red Skull's insane plan.]
[Current time point: One hour before the operation begins.]
After understanding his identity, Uchiha Kazuhiko observed the uniforms of other Allied soldiers through the room's window.
He then used the Transformation Technique to change his conspicuous ninja attire into the same standard military uniform as the others.
Before long, Uchiha Kazuhiko's door was pushed open from the outside. A beautiful woman full of mature charm walked quickly into the room.
Wavy brown hair, an Allied-style women's military uniform, a perfect figure with ample curves with just one glance, Uchiha Kazuhiko already knew this woman's identity.
Peggy Carter, Captain America's love interest, an agent of the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR), one of the supervisors of the Super Soldier Program, and a future co-founder of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Peggy walked over to Uchiha Kazuhiko and handed him a submachine gun loaded with ammunition. "Soldier, please come with me to the tarmac. We depart in five minutes," she ordered.
"Understood." Uchiha Kazuhiko took the submachine gun and slung it over his shoulder, following Agent Carter to the tarmac to meet up with the famous Captain America, Steve Rogers.
When Uchiha Kazuhiko and Peggy reached the tarmac, Steve immediately ran over from nearby. He waved a greeting to Uchiha Kazuhiko before leaning close to Peggy and whispering to her.
"Hey, Peggy, I'll definitely catch Schmidt today. At the victory banquet, would I have the honor of asking you for a dance?" Steve said cheekily, with a smile setting up a huge FLAG.
Peggy's face flushed slightly. She gave Steve a charming glare and said softly, "Of course, if you can actually catch him."
"Haha, it's settled then. I look forward to dancing with you." Steve became as excited as if he'd been given a shot of adrenaline. He shouldered his Vibranium shield and jumped onto the transport plane preparing for takeoff.
Seeing this, Uchiha Kazuhiko also bid farewell to Peggy and entered the transport plane.
"Hey, comrade, first time meeting. I'm Steve Rogers. Of course, you can also call me Captain America."
Seeing Uchiha Kazuhiko enter the transport plane, Steve greeted him enthusiastically.
"Hello, Steve. I am Uchiha Kazuhiko."
Captain America was a standard 'noble, glorious, righteous' type of heroic character. Uchiha Kazuhiko's impression of him was quite good. After hearing his introduction, Uchiha Kazuhiko also told him his name.
"Uchiha Kazuhiko... sounds Japanese. Why did you choose to join the Allies?"
Steve was somewhat surprised, as it was currently World War II, and Japan was a member of the Axis powers.
Uchiha Kazuhiko, of course, couldn't say he was a time-traveler here for a mission. He could only make up an excuse to fool Captain America.
"For justice, of course."
"My comrade, your character is truly admirable." Steve was utterly convinced, his respect rising. His favorability towards Uchiha Kazuhiko instantly jumped from ordinary comrade to friend level.
"Likewise." Uchiha Kazuhiko replied casually, then stopped conversing with Steve. He sat down and closed his eyes to rest.
Piloted by Howard Stark, Iron Man's father, the transport plane perilously crossing over Hydra's armed blockade, safely dropping Steve and Uchiha Kazuhiko into the dense forest near the Alps.
After landing, Steve held his shield and came over to Uchiha Kazuhiko. "It's quite a distance to Hydra's last base from here. I think we need some transportation," he suggested.
"How about their motorcycles?" Uchiha Kazuhiko shrugged indifferently, pointing at a squad of ordinary Hydra soldiers approaching on military motorcycles.
"Good idea." Steve gave Uchiha Kazuhiko a thumbs-up and charged towards the Hydra soldiers first.
Uchiha Kazuhiko wanted to observe Steve's strength, so he didn't quickly resolve the enemies himself. He fired a few random shots, just going through the motions, and focused his attention on Steve.
Whoosh!
Steve threw his Vibranium shield, knocking the first soldier off his bike. He rushed forward a few steps, caught the rebounding shield, and held it in front of his chest to block the attacks from the other soldiers' Tesseract-energy weapons.
In the interval while the energy weapons recharged, Steve had already quickly closed the distance. He punched the second soldier off his bike, threw his shield again to knock out the third soldier who was preparing to shoot, then swiftly flipped and jumped, dodging the energy beams fired by the remaining soldiers.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The agile Steve quickly dealt with these ordinary Hydra soldiers. He then slung his shield on his back, picked up two almost undamaged motorcycles, and shouted to Uchiha Kazuhiko standing in the distance,
"Partner, it's our turn to go for a ride."
