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

Chapter 14 You beast, what are you doing?

"Ding! System task detected: Host has encountered a story character. System task being issued."

"Mission initiated: Defeat Mito Uzumaki, who dreams of becoming a female knight-errant, and let her know the dangers of the martial world and the unpredictability of human nature. Reward: 10 points, 1 random magic orb. If the host is defeated, the mission will fail."

The girl in front of me has a fair, round face, bright, sparkling eyes, cherry-like lips, and her fiery red hair is tied into two small buns, making her look very playful and cute.

Uchiha Gin, who was stunned upon seeing her, revealed her sharp little tiger teeth like a female beast, her big eyes filled with dissatisfaction, like a kitten baring its teeth and claws.

Feeling slighted, Mito Uzumaki was about to utter some harsh words, but she hadn't even finished swallowing the sesame seed cake that had just been stuffed into her mouth.

As the girl opened her small mouth, air rushed in, forcing the unchewed food into her narrow esophagus, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Ignoring the food in her hands, she clenched her little fists and pounded her flat chest, trying to swallow the food.

Seeing the girl in front of him who wanted to say something but then suddenly burst into tears, Uchiha Gin helplessly took out his water bottle from his backpack, unscrewed it, and handed it to her.

The girl, who was choking so badly she was about to faint, saw the kettle as a lifeline, grabbed it, tilted her head back, and drank it down in one gulp. A series of gurgling sounds followed.

The girl looked at the water bottle in her hand with a sense of relief, as if she had just escaped a disaster, and was about to thank the kind person who had given her the water.

Looking up, he saw Uchiha Gin smiling beside him, let out a strange cry, jumped several meters away, and looked at him warily.

"Is this how you treat your savior?"

Uchiha Gin squinted and said with a mocking expression.

"Thank you very much, but you'd better surrender, kind human trafficker."

The girl's delicate brows furrowed, and she thought for a moment before speaking.

"You mean this brat?"

Uchiha Gin pulled the still unconscious Senju Itama from behind him to the front.

"Letting him go is not out of the question, but you have to defeat me first."

In order to complete his mission, Uchiha Gin is preparing to make a move on the cute little girl.

Upon hearing this, Mito Uzumaki wore an expression that said, "Just as I expected."

She first put down the mountain-like bundle on her back, then began warming up, stretching her slender, jade-like arms and legs. She struck a cute starting pose and said in a serious tone,

Please enlighten me!

Uchiha Gin kicked Senju Itama, who was in his way, away. The brat rolled away like a gourd, and while still unconscious, he let out a strange "Ahhh" sound after being kicked.

"Bring it on."

Uchiha Gin provocatively beckoned with his finger.

"I don't even need to use weapons to deal with a brat like you."

As he spoke, he tucked the samurai sword from his waist to the side.

Uchiha Gin's contemptuous behavior ignited a fire of anger within Mito Uzumaki. With a powerful push of her legs, she charged forward like a cannonball, her speed so great that Uchiha Gin's eyelids twitched.

"Take this punch!"

The girl's angry punch slammed vertically toward Uchiha Gin, who was still standing in place. Unable to dodge in time, he crossed his arms, preparing to take the hit head-on.

Unexpectedly, the impact from his arms made his hands go numb, and he fell backward, doing a backflip in the air before landing just in time.

Shaking his slightly trembling forearm, Uchiha Gin was terrified.

"As expected of the future Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he has such strength at such a young age."

Mito Uzumaki looked at her delicate little fist in surprise; the human trafficker opposite her had actually withstood her punch.

It should be noted that she had amazing physical talent from a young age, and awakened a rare talent for superhuman strength at the age of five.

Even a regular squad leader-level ninja couldn't withstand her full-force attack, yet she only retreated a few steps. Thinking of this, the girl abandoned her contempt and a competitive flame ignited in her eyes.

"Again!"

Mito Uzumaki channeled the chakra within her body, gathering it in her hands.

In an instant, a pale blue light emanated from the girl's fair palms. Looking at those small fists, Uchiha Gin, still reeling, felt a chill run down his spine.

Isn't that Tsunade's monstrous strength?

Imagined the consequences of being punched in the chest by those tiny fists, and Uchiha Ginko felt a chill run down his spine. He had originally wanted to bully the weak, but this time he had really bitten off more than he could chew.

Seeing that the girl had already raised her fist to attack, Uchiha Gin immediately retreated and activated his newly awakened Sharingan at the same time.

The single-tomoe Sharingan can only perceive things. With the aid of the single tomoe, Uchiha Gin could barely see the girl's movements and could barely dodge her taijutsu moves.

The slightly rotating magatama allowed him to gradually adapt to the girl's speed, and he could almost see her next move the moment she raised her hand.

"With eyes like those that cheat, no wonder they'll be coveted in the future."

Amazed by the Sharingan's power, Uchiha Gin easily dodged the girl's punch. Watching the girl's arm brush past his face, Uchiha Gin began to consider how to counterattack.

Gintoki Uchiha would never use a sword against a child, not because he's a saint.

He wouldn't be merciful to a real threat, but the man with the bun hairstyle, who was already panting heavily, had never intended to kill him.

"We'll have to outsmart them."

With a slight twist of his wrist, Uchiha Gin used subtle force to flick a thin, transparent thread onto a samurai sword stuck in the ground.

The girl's body, following the girl's chaotic and disorderly punches, deliberately began to lead her in circles, and the girl, being led by the nose, was completely unaware.

The bloodline of the Uzumaki clan endowed her with formidable vitality, and like the Senju clan, she was highly skilled in prolonged battles.

"You're as slippery as an eel, you coward! If you've got the guts, fight me! What kind of man hides like this?!"

Mito Uzumaki, exasperated after failing to hit her target repeatedly, said...

"OK."

Uchiha Gin, who had been circling around, suddenly stopped and nodded seriously not far from the girl.

"Take this!"

Seizing the opportunity, the girl gathered strength in her fists and took a step forward. Seeing that the time was ripe, Uchiha Gin pulled hard on his wrist, and a swirl of grass and trees appeared around the girl, with transparent threads instantly enveloping her.

The next moment, the girl, who had no time to dodge, was tightly bound by the silk threads. Her petite body struggled with all her might, but after a few struggles, she realized in despair that the more she struggled, the tighter the silk threads bound her.

"I suggest you stop struggling. The harder you pull, the tighter the thread will tighten, and your thin fabric will easily tear."

As soon as Uchiha Gin finished speaking, a tearing sound was heard, and the girl's thin clothes were torn in several places, exposing her fair skin.

Her skin, as white as jade, was marked with red lines by the silk threads, causing Mito Uzumaki, who was still struggling, to blush and turn into a steam princess, emitting heat.

"You bastard, let me go!"

Mito Uzumaki, who was experiencing such humiliation for the first time, had tears welling up in her eyes, looking pitiful and charming, completely unlike the fierce spirit she had shown when she was chasing and beating people.

"Then you should admit defeat first."

Uchiha Gin remained unmoved by Uzumaki Mito's "female ninja Muzan" appearance. Of course, if she were seven or eight years older, he might not have been able to control himself.

"You'll let me go if I admit defeat?"

With a pitiful look on her face, Mito Uzumaki stared at the human trafficker in disbelief. In her mind, he should also tie her up and then sell her to a brothel.

"I swear on the honor of my Uchiha ancestors!"

Uchiha Gin once again swore an oath to his ancestors.

("Achoo!" A few days later, while sparring with the boy with the melon-skin-shaped haircut, I felt a chill down my spine again.)

"Madara, are you alright?" the melon-skinned boy asked with concern.

Seeing Uchiha Gin's confident assertion, the girl had no choice but to relent and speak.

"I give up!"

"Ding! Host has defeated Mito Uzumaki. Mission complete. Score +10. Obtained 1 Blue Magic Orb."

Uchiha Gin was so excited that tears almost streamed down his face. After traveling for so long, he had finally completed a mission. He then began to observe his reward in his mind.

Upon activating the system once more, Uchiha Gin found that his mind was no longer an empty, monotonous space, but instead contained a chessboard-like arena.

He also gained a physical form and followed the guide onto the chessboard. He found the Heart Steel Chest, which he had obtained from his mission, located on the left side, with a row of numbers scrolling across it.

"Host successful. You have obtained 1 Healing Energy and the Heart Steel Treasure Chest reward has been unlocked. (Current total Healing Energy: 14)"

With a belated notification sound, Uchiha Gin saw that the numbers above the Heart Steel Treasure Chest on the chessboard had stopped scrolling.

[14] To be opened

1+10-10+12+1=14

Due to the penalty imposed on Gin Uchiha for exploiting a bug midway through the game, the Heart Steel was reduced to only 14 layers in the end.

Miracles happen with great force!

Uchiha Gin clicked to open it, and the Heart Steel Treasure Chest throbbed. Accompanied by a catchy background music, two colorful magic orbs bearing the Heart Steel logo fell out.

With a nervous heart, Uchiha Gin clicked on one of the items, and with a flash of light, a gold bar appeared in his hand.

[Gold Brick*1] A universal currency that can be used for real-world consumption.

It can actually make you rich?

Uchiha Gin hefted the rather heavy piece of pure gold in his hand with surprise. This single piece of gold was enough to cause a considerable disturbance. His eyes then turned to another magical orb.

"Could it be gold too?"

Thinking this, Uchiha Gin clicked on the remaining magic orbs.

[Vortex Clan Physique *1] After use, you will gain a small amount of Vortex Clan bloodline, and your attributes will be slightly improved.

The second orb actually revealed a bloodline.

Uchiha Gin couldn't remain calm upon seeing the word "Uzumaki," as several important characters in the series are orphans of the Uzumaki clan.

Nagato, the mastermind behind Akatsuki, relied on his Uzumaki clan bloodline to defeat Madara's Rinnegan, first killing the Toad Sage, then wiping out Konoha in one fell swoop, making him a solid mid-stage powerhouse.

Not to mention the Crown Prince, even without the Nine-Tails, he's still a top-tier fighter, with exceptional stamina recovery.

"property?"

Although the bloodline was alluring, the attribute that followed also piqued his curiosity. Following the pattern of system-based games from his previous life, Uchiha Gin tried to bring up the attribute panel.

As soon as he finished speaking, a light screen rose up on the chessboard, and Uchiha Gin's portrait was prominently displayed.

It actually exists!

Host: Uchiha Gin

Patience: 5

Body: 4

Wisdom: 9

Fine: 3

Charm: 1

Pupil: 5

Skills: Basic taijutsu, Great Fireball Technique, Uchiha beginner swordsmanship, intermediate shuriken technique.

Overall assessment: A slightly clever, annoying Uchiha genin with a single tomoe mark.

"??? What does 'annoying type' mean? What does it mean that 'Charm level is only 1'?"

The Uchiha was so angry that his dead fish eyes almost rolled back.

Next, Uchiha Gin activated the Uzumaki clan's physique, and a warm current immediately spread from his heart throughout his body.

The chakra that was originally blocked like a dripping stream turned into a rushing stream. The warm chakra made Uchiha Gin feel comfortable, and at the same time, he felt that he had inexhaustible strength all over his body.

Having experienced the complete transformation of his body, Uchiha Gin suddenly remembered the mention of a slight increase in attributes mentioned in the reward, and looked up at his attribute panel again:

Host: Uchiha Gin

Patience: 7

Body: 8

Wisdom: 9

Fine: 6

Charm: 1

Pupil: 5

Skills: Basic taijutsu, Great Fireball Technique, Uchiha beginner swordsmanship, intermediate shuriken technique.

Overall assessment: A somewhat clever, single-tomoe, annoying Uchiha Chunin.

The Uzumaki clan's bloodline is mainly reflected in their ninjutsu, taijutsu, and shin, with taijutsu and shin both doubling in growth. Correspondingly, this translates to increased physical constitution and chakra.

Having nearly finished studying the attributes, Uchiha Gin discovered a strange device on the right side of the chessboard.

Similar to the arcade games he'd played in his previous life, he tried turning it on. As the screen started up, a large "10" appeared, followed by a pop-up of the game console's instructions.

[Arcade Game Machines: Accumulate points to unlock big prizes]

Without any further explanation, and after fiddling with the game console to no avail, Uchiha Gin had no choice but to give up and instead curiously inquire with the system.

"Why are there so many things appearing this time?"

"Because the host has completed one prerequisite task, system loading +10%"

"Isn't this all the scenarios the system can handle?"

Looking at the now luxurious system space, Uchiha Gin asked incredulously.

"The system is still loading and cannot provide a solution."

It seemed that many functions of his system were yet to be unlocked, which boosted Uchiha Gin's confidence in surviving until the founding of Konoha several times over.

"I might even survive until Boruto."

Uchiha Gin enters a fantasy time.

"Hey, hey, hey, you promised to let me go! You can't go back on your word!"

Mito Uzumaki, who had just admitted defeat, saw that the other party was actually in a daze and couldn't help but shout loudly.

The moment he finished speaking, Uchiha Gin's eyes regained their sparkle. The long time he had spent inside the system was only a moment outside.

"Alright, alright, I'll untie you now."

Uchiha Gin, who had reaped a great harvest, looked at the hero before him with a grin that almost reached the sky.

"Ugh, why are you laughing like that?"

Mito Uzumaki looked at Gin Uchiha, who had a silver smile on his face, and twisted and turned awkwardly.

These threads cannot be cut with ordinary sharp tools; they can only be retrieved by finding the end. Uchiha Gin didn't hesitate and began searching Uzumaki Mito's body.

Of course, as a righteous and upright person, the Uchiha was searching with a pure and untainted mind.

But when she felt a pair of large hands radiating a familiar aura brush against her back, Mito Uzumaki's small body trembled uncontrollably.

"What's wrong? Need to go to the bathroom? Hold it for a bit, I'll find one right away."

Misunderstanding, Uchiha Gin immediately sped up.

"Why do I feel a familiar aura about this guy?"

Mito Uzumaki, who was being groped by Gin Uchiha, began to have wild thoughts. But it wasn't wrong; Gin Uchiha had just fused with the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, and the same bloodline naturally had an innate attraction.

Just as Uchiha Gin was searching for the loose thread, a talisman on the chest of the bashful Uzumaki Mito caught his attention. Looking at the demon-face-shaped talisman, Uchiha Gin asked curiously...

"Your amulet is quite unique."

Still feeling dizzy from the question, Mito Uzumaki instinctively explained,

"This is my father's concealment talisman. It contains sealing techniques. Wearing it can hide chakra. I used this to evade the family's search when I ran away."

"Truly amazing, as expected of the Uzumaki clan," Uchiha Gin sincerely praised.

"It's not as good as you say!"

"Ah, finally found it!"

After searching for a long time, they finally found the thread at Mito Uzumaki's waist, and Gin Uchiha reached out to touch it.

"You beast, what are you doing!"

With a roar, a figure glowing red descended from the sky.

Slow start
