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

Chapter 2: Although I transmigrated, it seems I transmigrated too early.

At night, in a dense forest, several people were camped in a campsite, with a simple tent pitched around a campfire.

Four people sat around the campfire, all dressed in high-necked robes. Their pale, gloomy faces looked quite frightening in the firelight.

All of them had some kind of injury on them. After a long silence, one of the men, a black-haired man with a ponytail, spoke up.

"If it weren't for this kid dragging us down, we would have finished long ago. I'll go teach him a lesson right now!"

After saying that, he got up and walked towards the tent, his hand resting on the long knife hanging at his waist, as if he were about to kill someone on the spot.

"Alright, this matter still needs the clan leader to decide. Right now is a time of chaos, and having more people increases the chances of completing the mission."

The older man sitting in the middle spoke up to stop it.

Although he didn't have much interaction with the people in the tent, their identities left him with no choice but to take care of them. After all, the clan chief had ordered him to look after this guy, and even if he was a good-for-nothing, he had to do his best to look after him.

Hearing the older man's words, the man with the ponytail was furious, but he couldn't disobey his captain's orders.

Meanwhile, the man in the tent was slowly waking up.

"Where the hell am I? I remember I was drunk and walking along the riverbank, feeling the breeze, when I think I slipped."

Feeling a sharp pain in his head and a back that ached as if he had been hit by a car, the man struggled to open his eyes, but there was no familiar ceiling.

In the pitch-black space, the tent top made of burlap could be vaguely seen. He tried to raise his hand, but found himself unable to move, as if he were being paralyzed by a ghost. With a sharp pain in his head, the man fainted again.

After a while, the man was awakened by the arguing outside the tent. He felt as if he had regained strength in his limbs and managed to sit up.

Looking at his unfamiliar hands and clothes, and a samurai sword beside him, the man remained silent for a few seconds as he recalled the memories he had just received.

"Damn, can it really be time travel? And it's Naruto! Luckily, I remember most of the plot, like Naruto and how he's gay, but isn't this time period a bit off?"

That's right, the man was a recent graduate working in the corporate world, living a life of slacking off at work, but he drank a few too many drinks during a team-building event.

After drinking, he wandered to the riverbank alone. Under the influence of alcohol, the man lost his sense of direction, stumbled, slipped into the water, and died. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the body of this unfortunate man.

"Uchiha Gin, is he an Uchiha?"

According to my memory, the Warring States period was quite long before the founding of Konoha. At that time, it was a time of chaos and war. The Uchiha clan had just signed a friendly agreement with the Hagoromo clan to jointly fight against the Senju clan.

Their mission, "Operation Eradicate," was launched to weaken the new generation of the Senju clan. They worked in groups of several to intercept and kill young Senju members, thus causing a generational gap in the Senju clan's core strength.

The original owner's name was Uchiha Gin, and both of his parents died in the war.

Because his mother was the elder sister of the current clan leader, Uchiha Tajima, he was adopted by Uchiha Tajima after becoming an orphan.

However, among the exceptionally talented Uchiha clan, Uchiha Gin appeared quite mediocre, even somewhat useless.

He was already in his twenties, yet he was outmatched in a contest against a ten-year-old member of his clan, and ultimately suffered a crushing defeat.

Recalling the memory of being beaten up by children, Uchiha Gin's expression turned strange.

"That guy's a teenage freak, if I could beat him to a pulp, I could brag about it for the rest of my life."

Having roughly explored the original owner's memories, Uchiha Gin, who now inherited his name, began to analyze the current situation.

Now it is the Warring States period, so there is no order to speak of. There is danger everywhere. Swords are merciless, ninjutsu is meaningless, and one careless move could send you back to your hometown.

As an ordinary person who had just transmigrated, Uchiha Gin felt that the most important thing was to survive, since in this era, living to the age of thirty was already a luxury.

Based on the original owner's memories, Uchiha Gin tried circulating the chakra in his body and found that the chakra flowed as slowly as a snail, and even appeared and disappeared intermittently. He then tried to recite it silently in his mind.

"System, start up!!!"

After a long time without any response, Uchiha Gin opened his eyes and sighed.

"A complete waste of talent, and no system at all, what a disastrous start."

After some thought, Uchiha Gin decided to stick close to the original owner of the body first. Uchiha Tajima, as the current head of the Uchiha clan, was quite powerful.

As his distant nephew, as long as he doesn't take any risks, he should be able to live a few days of peace once Konoha is founded.

After thinking it over, Uchiha Gin got up and walked out of the tent.

The three people who had been dozing by the campfire opened their eyes at the sound of movement. The eldest man, seeing Uchiha Gin emerge from the tent, narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly.

"come over."

Seeing that he was able to move, he gestured for the other person to sit down. Uchiha Gin, who was new to the place, obediently sat down opposite the older man.

"Uchiha Gin, I will report the losses caused by your mistakes during the day to the clan leader when I return. In the upcoming missions, you must not act recklessly again, and you must follow my orders in all actions."

As he spoke, a crimson glint flashed in his narrow eyes, and the oppressive aura emanating from him made it hard for Uchiha Gin to breathe, but he still managed to nod.

"Three tomoe, that's already considered top-tier combat power for the Uchiha clan."

Seeing the three tomoe flash in the other's eyes, Uchiha Gin pondered that this mission must be quite difficult.

During the day, the original owner learned that the Hagoromo clan had already completed a major mission. As a proud Uchiha, the original owner naturally couldn't stand the smug Hagoromo clan.

Therefore, they decided to venture deep into the heart of the Senju clan to find their mission objective.

Unexpectedly, before even entering the territory of the Senju clan, he was discovered by the outer sentries, attracting a team of Senju clan members to snipe him. The original owner, who was as weak as a chicken, was hit in the back by the opponent's monstrous punch in just one exchange.

Originally weak, he was blasted dozens of meters away like a cannonball, landing headfirst and losing consciousness. Fortunately, the older man in front of him, their captain, Uchiha Feng Huo, came to his rescue, and the original owner barely managed to save his life.

This mindless behavior drew criticism from his teammates, but Captain Uchiha Feng Huo, who knew Uchiha Gin's identity, intervened to quell their anger.

"Was the original owner really this reckless?"

At that moment, a figure flashed into view in front of everyone. It was the ponytailed Uchiha who had initially wanted to teach Uchiha Gin a lesson.

It was his turn to keep watch just now. Hearing that several people in the camp had woken up, he rushed over. When he saw that Uchiha Gin had recovered, a # symbol appeared on his ponytail.

"Uchiha Gin, if it weren't for the captain protecting you, I would have burned off all your curly hair long ago. If you cause any more trouble, I'll deal with you before the Senju clan does."

Hearing this, Uchiha Gin felt a sharp pain in his teeth. Looking at the unfriendly gazes of the others, he suddenly felt immense pressure.

Just how disliked was the original owner of this body?

Gin glanced sideways at the massive shuriken stuck beside him. Through the smooth edge of the blade, thanks to the Uchiha clan's superior eyesight, Gin saw his current appearance for the first time.

With messy, fluffy, naturally curly hair and a pair of dead fish eyes that looked like they deserved a beating, the original owner of this body had a certain irritating aura about him, despite the Uchiha clan's genes making him quite handsome.

"I'm sorry everyone, I was reckless during the day. From now on, I will definitely follow your instructions."

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Besides, I haven't fully mastered the original owner's power yet, so it's best to play it safe for a while.

"ah??????"

Upon hearing what Uchiha Gin said, everyone present was shocked and exclaimed as if they had seen a ghost.
