Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

Chapter 13 Mito Uzumaki has a dream of becoming a female knight-errant.

The fact that the system's activation speed was linked to his own strength gave Uchiha Gin the motivation to move forward.

It seems that the reason the system was able to load Senju Itama's task completely was entirely due to the single-tomoe Sharingan that was unexpectedly activated during Tsukuyomi last night.

The awakening of the Sharingan allowed him to evolve from a cannon fodder genin to an ordinary genin. He is still a bit behind the powerful Konoha 12, but he should be able to go toe-to-toe with Hinata.

"Hehehe," Uchiha Gin-chan, who was covering his face with one hand, let out a strange laugh, causing Senju Itama, who was pretending to be dead behind him, to secretly open one eye.

"What's wrong this time?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin transform into one of the Four Laughing Heroes, Senju Itama couldn't hold back and couldn't help but complain, only to receive a sharp rap on the head from the other party.

Senju Itama, who had a large bump on his head, pouted a little aggrievedly, holding back his tears.

Having adjusted his mindset, Uchiha Gin looked at the brat and found him not so annoying after all. Then, with a smile, Gin said something to Senju Itama that sent chills down his spine.

"Kid, maybe you'll be reunited with your family soon."

"Don't even think about it!!! I... ah..." Senju Itama, clearly misunderstanding, started barking helplessly again.

Given that the noise this guy was making might attract enemies, Uchiha Gin didn't hesitate to pull out something and stuff it into his mouth.

Upon tasting the salty, fishy smell of the object in his mouth, Senju Itama immediately fainted upon smelling it.

"The humidity at the beach is really high; my feet sweat all day long."

Uchiha Gin withdrew his hand with satisfaction, looked at the smelly sock that hadn't been washed for days and stuffed into Senju Itama's mouth, and analyzed it in a serious manner.

"We're about to enter the territory of the Uzumaki clan. Conceal your chakra and don't let them sense you."

The leader, Uchiha Fuuka, suddenly spoke up to remind them.

"Besides being skilled in sealing techniques, the Uzumaki clan also possesses top-notch perception abilities. We have a mission to complete now, so we must not alert or provoke the Uzumaki clan."

"Is it possible that we've already been discovered?" Uchiha Gin muttered at the back of the group.

"Host detected to be in combat; Heart Steel Chest begins to accumulate."

A notification sounded in my head: enemies had appeared nearby.

A dozen kilometers away, a red-haired figure opened his eyes, his blood-red pupils revealing a hint of coldness.

"There are five ninjas ahead. Five of them have extremely cold chakra, possibly from the Uchiha clan, while the other has chakra full of vitality."

The red-haired, red-eyed man spoke to several other red-haired men around him.

"Are you sure about the one that's full of life?" a burly, red-haired, muscular man asked.

"My Kagura Mind's Eye has never missed a beat," the red-eyed man replied.

"That's them, let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, the red-haired muscular man sent the others flying like arrows towards Uchiha Gin and his group.

Apart from Uchiha Gin, Uchiha Fuuka and the others, who were still on their way, did not notice that an enemy was approaching.

Upon hearing the notification tone, Uchiha Gin deliberately slowed his pace, gradually falling far behind the rest of the group.

The Uchiha members in the group were already used to Gin Uchiha's desertion, so they didn't pay any attention to it, since he would catch up during the rest period.

As the Uchiha group moved through the forest, Uchiha Fuuka, who was leading the way, suddenly felt a blockage in his chakra.

Before he could think it through, a sense of crisis arose, and his years of assassination experience made him stop immediately.

"There's an ambush!"

Uchiha Fuuka activated his three-tomoe Sharingan and cautiously looked around. The three Uchiha Ryoichi behind him did not dare to be careless and immediately activated their own Sharingan as well.

Just then, several red-haired men emerged from the woods. The leader was the same red-haired, muscular man from before. He sized up Uchiha Feng Huo and the others, and seemed somewhat surprised to see only four of them.

"As expected of the Uchiha clan, they were able to detect the sealing formation we set up."

The red-haired, muscular man crossed his arms and said it with an air of seriousness.

Uchiha Feng Huo, who was being praised, did not feel honored. After sizing up the red-haired, muscular man, he said...

"Our Uchiha clan has never had any conflict with the Uzumaki clan, so why are you attacking us for no reason?"

"There should be six of you. Where are the other two?"

The red-haired, muscular man didn't speak, but a red-haired, red-eyed man next to him asked a question in return.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Feng Huo's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself,

"It seems they're after that brat from the Senju clan."

He then glanced discreetly behind him and realized that Uchiha Gin hadn't caught up yet. He was secretly anxious, thinking, "I hope that kid doesn't come any closer."

"I don't understand what you're talking about. We're just a regular four-person team on a mission, currently en route."

As Uchiha Feng Huo spoke, he was giving a secret signal to the three people behind him with one hand behind his back.

"A regular squad? A regular squad needs the infamous 'Hidden Flame Sealer' to lead it? What kind of mission is this?"

The red-haired, muscular man opposite him revealed Uchiha Feng Huo's identity and asked directly.

"Let's do it!"

Realizing their identities had been exposed, the group that had just exchanged information via coded language suddenly sprang into action, their crimson Sharingan eyes flashing as they charged towards the Uzumaki clan members, and a battle was about to erupt.

Behind them, Uchiha Gin, who had fallen behind for half a day, also encountered his "enemy." Seeing the red-haired figure suddenly emerge from the opposite woods, the notification sound in Uchiha Gin's mind rang once again.

"Host detected to be in combat; Heart Steel Chest begins to accumulate."

Are you really not going to give them a chance to suffer consecutive losses?

Mito Uzumaki, the youngest daughter of Ashina Uzumaki, the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan, showed exceptional talent in sealing techniques from a young age. Ashina, who had a daughter in his middle age, regarded her as the apple of his eye and doted on her from childhood.

However, the spoiled and arrogant Mito Uzumaki was furious when she learned that her father had betrothed her to the Senju clan, who lived far away.

In a fit of anger, she secretly took her father's few treasures and boarded a cargo ship sailing out of the Land of Whirlpools, embarking on her journey to escape her arranged marriage.

"Starting today, I'm going to be a chivalrous female wanderer!"

On the ship, a storyteller from the Land of Iron recounts several tales of chivalrous wanderers, setting off a journey of chivalry and adventure for the innocent and passionate ten-year-old girl.

First, she used her martial arts skills to defeat a group of scoundrels who preyed on the people at the dock, which drew cheers from the onlookers and made Mito Uzumaki, who dreamed of being a "female knight-errant," very happy.

Then he used sealing techniques to deal with several wandering ninjas who bullied innocent women by relying on ninjutsu. After sealing their chakra, he threw them all into the mountains to mine and reform themselves.

After several attempts, she gained considerable reputation, and the name "Red-Haired Heroine" spread far and wide.

"Another peaceful day!"

A chubby-faced girl with her hair in a bun ate the candy given to her by an old lady on the roadside, and surveyed the small town she protected with a satisfied look on her face.

Although it's called a small town, it's actually just a small fishing village near the coastline. The once chaotic place has been brought to peace and stability by the girl's efforts.

"I remember a storyteller saying that a chivalrous knight-errant should pursue wandering the world and making the world his home."

Touching her own head, Mito Uzumaki decided to bid farewell to her starting village and journey towards a higher and farther world.

"There are still many people in need of help waiting for me to save them!"

Mito Uzumaki clenched her small, fair fist and gave herself a pep talk.

Having come to her senses, Mito Uzumaki bid farewell to the villagers of the small fishing village. Although the villagers were reluctant to part with her, they still waved goodbye to the girl and prepared a large bag of snacks and dry food for her before she left.

Heading into the jungle deep along the coastline, Mito, who was constantly swaying and eating, suddenly saw a black curly-haired man carrying a child on his back.

She discovered that the man had not only tied the child up, but also given the child a hard rap on the head. Even worse, he then pulled out a smelly sock and stuffed it into the child's mouth.

"This must be the legendary human trafficker, but didn't my brother say that human traffickers are all those illegal laborers in the north?" Mito Uzumaki, puzzled, secretly followed them.

Mito Uzumaki, who had been following the man all the way, noticed that the black-haired man had slowed down. She sneaked over, intending to give him a spectacular start and surprise this evil human trafficker.

So what happened next was:

A red-haired girl with a bun on her back carried a large bundle, her cheeks bulging out.

He held a half-eaten dried salted fish in his left hand and half a sesame seed cake in his right. His mouth was stuffed with food, making his speech difficult to understand.

"Cool, dirty, special silver house paper, house blind spicy pot blue hi! (Damn human traffickers, put that boy down!) (`^)"
