Just as Uchiha Gin was wondering why the others were reacting so violently, the four people present simultaneously activated their crimson Sharingan, staring intently at him, making him afraid to make the slightest move.
"One has three tomoe, the other three have two tomoe."
Uchiha Gin, almost wetting himself with fear under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, slowly raised his hands above his head and cautiously said,
"Everyone, if you're going to kill me, at least give me a clear answer. I may have delayed the mission, but this isn't enough to make me suffer like this."
"Shut up! Who are you? Such a sophisticated transformation technique, even my two-tomoe Sharingan can't detect a single flaw."
The ponytail-wearing Uchiha stared at him fiercely.
"No problem, he is indeed Uchiha Gin."
Uchiha Fuuka fully activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, carefully scanning Uchiha Gin's entire body, finally closing his eyes and deactivating the Sharingan.
"Then what's he up to now?"
The burly Uchiha who hadn't spoken until now asked疑惑地问道.
Uchiha Gin then recalled the original owner's eccentric personality, realizing that it wasn't just his lack of strength; the original owner was also incredibly spoiled, relying on his status as the clan leader's nephew to bully ordinary clan members, acting like a complete wastrel.
During this mission, he repeatedly defied the others, and if it weren't for Uchiha Fuuka restraining him, he would have been beaten to a pulp.
Thinking of the original owner's actions, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but gasp.
The original owner's survival until now could only be attributed to the Sage of Six Paths' protection.
Thinking this, Uchiha Gin felt that if he continued with the original owner's behavior, he would likely be killed in the upcoming missions.
After all, someone had been pushing him behind the scenes for his previous reckless actions; he had offended too many people, and it was possible that someone wanted him dead. He had to do something now.
With this in mind, Uchiha Gin's eyes darted around, and he spoke.
"I used to only see the world from my own perspective, with only narrow individualism in my eyes."
Taking advantage of the others' confusion, Uchiha Gin began to perform.
Hearing this, the others also closed their Sharingan, waiting to see what kind of trouble he was up to now.
"However, after spending these past few days with you all, I've truly realized that as an Uchiha, I shouldn't live only for myself. I must fight for the revival of the Uchiha!"
Uchiha Gin clenched his right fist and began to exert force.
The few who had been watching the spectacle felt their blood begin to boil and surge, as if something was about to burst forth, upon hearing Uchiha Gin's impassioned speech.
"This guy... he seems to have something going for him,"
the ponytail-wearing Uchiha whispered.
"I spent the first half of my life under the wing of Clan Chief Tajima, enjoying the legacy of my ancestors. Thinking about it now, it's truly despicable. I, Uchiha Gin, will dedicate the rest of my life to fighting for the rise of the Uchiha clan!"
Uchiha Gin started spouting nonsense, but his inflammatory rhetoric made the other Uchiha listen with deep conviction, nodding repeatedly.
"That kid makes sense."
"He does seem to have come to his senses."
"To err is human, to forgive divine."
Hearing that the others were moved by his "sincere" performance, Uchiha Gin's lips curled into a sly smile, and he continued at full speed.
"I am a member of the Uchiha clan's youth vanguard. Under the Uchiha clan crest, I swear: I am determined to abide by the teachings of my Uchiha ancestors, to train my eye techniques, hone my ninjutsu, and refine my taijutsu, always ready to contribute all my strength to the revival of the Uchiha clan!"
His words were passionate and stirring, and the stunned crowd seemed to see a shimmering red clan crest behind Uchiha Gin.
One of the less talkative Uchiha clan members quickly produced a scroll and excitedly copied down the words verbatim.
"Clap clap clap…"
One of the Uchiha clan members spontaneously began clapping, and then the others, as if waking from a dream, echoed his sentiments.
Among them, the ponytail-wearing Uchiha, who had the biggest conflict with Uchiha Gin, sang the loudest.
Uchiha Feng Huo, leading the group, looked at Uchiha Gin with satisfaction, nodding repeatedly. He hadn't expected this spoiled brat to utter such inspiring words; he was truly a genius.
"Uchiha Gin, your words have made my blood boil! Now, I, Uchiha Ryoichi, acknowledge your identity."
So, the ponytail-wearing Uchiha was called Uchiha Ryoichi.
"I've long admired Brother Ryoichi's handsome appearance and masterful shurikenjutsu, a true testament to our ancestors!"
"So it is with me, Uchiha Hikaru!"
"Brother Hikaru's wakizashi is also at its pinnacle, dazzling the eye and striking the enemy's vitals with lightning speed."
"And so it is with me, Uchiha Taro!"
"Brother Taro's fire release is even more divine, leaving nothing but desolation in his wake. Perhaps he has already mastered chakra nature transformation, his fire release power rivaling that of the clan leader!"
"Alright, let's save the compliments for after the mission."
Seeing the first light of dawn on the horizon, Uchiha Fuuka stopped their mutual flattery.
Hearing their captain's words, the group reluctantly ceased their conversation; any later and they would have had to kowtow and exchange sworn brotherhood oaths with Uchiha Gin.
"Our team has fallen far behind in this elimination operation, especially with the Hagoromo clan taking the lead. It's a disgrace to our clan. We've now entered the final stages of the battle. I'll distribute the mission objective information to you all."
Because the Hagoromo clan's objective was successfully eliminated, the Senju clan had discovered their purpose, so Uchiha Feng Huo no longer bothered to hide the mission.
Taking the information from Captain Uchiha Feng Huo, Uchiha Gin began to read carefully. The original owner of this body only knew a little about the mission objectives, but Uchiha Gin, familiar with the plot, vaguely guessed the purpose of their mission.
The list included over a dozen Senju children, the oldest just over ten years old, the youngest only four or five.
Uchiha Gin sighed inwardly. What a cruel era. No wonder living to 30 was considered a long life during the Warring States period.
The ages of the Senju clan's new generation on the list would have been carefree children studying and playing in school in his previous life.
He then began to carefully read through the list, starting with the first person.
[Senju Hashirama: 14 years old, eldest son of Senju Butsuma, skilled in taijutsu and shurikenjutsu, suspected of having superhuman strength, other information unknown…]
Gin Uchiha could vaguely recognize the hand-drawn portrait of the boy with the melon-shaped haircut on the file as the future God of Shinobi who would end the Warring States period, establish the ninja village system, and dominate all nine tailed beasts, defeating Madara Uchiha for his entire life.
Based on his age, Gin Uchiha deduced that in about ten years, the peace he desired would arrive.
"It seems the ill-fated relationship between Hashirama and Madara has already begun."
He continued reading.
[Senju Tobirama: 10 years old, second son of Senju Butsuma, skilled in water-style ninjutsu and swordsmanship, extremely fast taijutsu speed, other information unknown…]
Looking at the red-eyed, white-haired brat on the file in his hand, Gin Uchiha felt a headache coming on. The future brilliant Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.
Many forbidden techniques he researched were used throughout the entire Naruto series, such as the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, the Flying Thunder God Technique, and the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, which played a decisive role in the Fourth Shinobi World War.
While admiring him, recalling Tobirama Senju's prejudice against the Uchiha clan in the story—not only targeting them while alive, but also calling Sasuke, a powerful figure in the later stages of the series, "evil Uchiha brat"—was a source of deep resentment.
The reason for this was likely that his beloved older brother, Madara, neglected his only brother, leading to jealousy and a lifelong relentless suppression of the Uchiha clan.
Thinking of this, Gin Uchiha sighed inwardly and continued scrolling.
[Senju Watama: 7 years old, third son of Senju Butsuma, skilled in Earth Release and Taijutsu, other details unknown…]
Being a young ninja, the information wasn't overly detailed, only a brief summary of his general strength.
However, this Senju Watama was different from the previous two. His profile picture had an "X" drawn in red pen, and next to it was a hastily written note:
[Cleared.]
