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

Chapter 4 Evaluation of Uchiha Gin's Strength

The three figures that had been clearly eliminated were glaringly obvious in the documents. The fact that Senju Watama, the son of Senju Butsuma, had also been assassinated indicated that the war had entered a critical stage.

However, for Uchiha Gin, whose identity had not yet been transformed, killing a child under ten years old was something he could not accept.

However, given the current situation, we can only take it one step at a time.

"The Feathered Robe Clan has already eliminated the Third Young Master of the Thousand Hands Clan, we must step up our efforts!"

Seeing the group reading attentively, Uchiha Feng Huo decided to encourage them.

"Is this really okay? To harm such a young child?"

Holding his breath and unable to hold it in any longer, Uchiha Gin quietly asked Uchiha Ryoichi, who was standing next to him, earning him a surprised look in return.

"Weren't you the most enthusiastic one on this mission? You kept rushing forward, which made us lose track of our movements and we fought the Senju clan for a long time before we were able to break free."

Uchiha Ryoichi asked in confusion.

Uchiha Gin'an couldn't say for sure. Although he had received the original owner's memories, the time was too short and he was too shocked, so he had forgotten many of the original owner's actions.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't immerse themselves in the characters of the movies they've seen; they would mostly watch the story from an outsider's perspective.

Seeing him do it doesn't mean I did it.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Gin looked embarrassed, then pointed to his head, which was still wrapped in several bandages.

"I was punched by someone from the Senju clan, and my head hit a rock. My recent memories are all messed up. I'm really sorry."

Seeing Uchiha Gin's injuries, Uchiha Ryoichi expressed his understanding. After all, given Uchiha Gin's level, it was already a blessing from his ancestors that he hadn't had his internal organs shattered on the spot by a powerful punch from a Senju clan member.

Seeing that Uchiha Gin had gotten away with it, he took the opportunity while browsing through the documents to calmly revisit the original owner's memories.

However, the memories of the original owner from a few years ago were somewhat fragmented, like the choppy playback of an old VCD, making it extremely difficult for him to watch.

After a moment, Uchiha Gin came to his senses, a glint in his eyes, which explained his earlier reckless behavior.

Because of the war, Uchiha Gin lost his parents at the age of 8, and Uchiha Tajima, who had not yet become the clan leader, adopted him.

Two years later, Uchiha Tajima became the clan leader, married, and had children. He treated Uchiha Gin as his own son.

Uchiha Gin was more like Uchiha Tajima's son than his nephew. With the birth of several of Uchiha Tajima's children, the teenage Uchiha Gin, as the "eldest brother," took on the role of protecting the sons of several clan leaders.

But war is cruel after all. The enemy's sword will not stop swinging just because you are a child. On the contrary, anyone who stands in their way, regardless of age or gender, is an enemy.

During a battle, the Uchiha clan's territory was attacked by the enemy. Because Uchiha Tajima had taken all the young fighters to the front line to fight the enemy, leaving only women and children in the territory, Uchiha Gin, as a guard for the clan leader's family, was left behind to protect Uchiha Tajima's wife and children.

Because of his inferior strength, Uchiha Gin was defeated in one move. The cruel enemy forcibly pried open his eyelids and brutally slaughtered Uchiha Tajima's wife and three young children right in front of him.

"What a piece of trash, he can't even see the truth. It's good that such a useless person is still alive."

The perpetrator laughed heartily, looking at the now ashen-faced Uchiha Gin with a mocking smile.

The enemy brutally slaughtered the entire territory, leaving only Uchiha Gin, who had roared until he was numb. After all, no matter how much such a person grew, he would not pose any threat to them.

After the enemy had left triumphantly, Uchiha Gin, who had lost his soul, knelt among the corpses for three days, completely unaware that the bodies had begun to rot and stink.

When Uchiha Tajima returned and saw the horrific scene, his Sharingan immediately shed two lines of bloody tears.

Fortunately, since his eldest son Madara and second son Izuna were of age to go to war, Uchiha Tajima took them with him on this trip, which saved the two young children from disaster.

However, Tajima Uchiha did not pursue the matter further regarding Uchiha Gin, the sole survivor.

In his view, Uchiha Gin was completely ruined by this incident, and there was no point in him living or dying.

"It makes sense, but these memories feel weird, like they were orchestrated. The tragedy feels too natural, doesn't it?"

Uchiha Gin sighed helplessly. In the original owner's memories, the Uchiha clan did investigate that incident back then, but they were limited by their means, and the enemy's methods were obviously disguised.

No traces of escape techniques were left at the scene, and everyone died from external injuries. Ultimately, the matter was left unresolved, becoming an unsolved mystery.

Although the original owner was an eyewitness, he had no knowledge of the enemy's attack methods. He only saw someone on the other side pull out a "weapon" from their body to kill, but because it was dark, he could not see clearly what kind of method it was.

Unlike other transmigrators, Uchiha Gin, who had read the entire Naruto series, immediately recognized that the other party was using his own bones as a weapon.

However, looking at the whole story, the only ones who could have such methods, besides the ancestor Kaguya Otsutsuki who was sealed on the moon, were the Kaguya clan, who were driven overseas by powerful clans like the Uchiha and Senju.

Thinking about this, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but let his imagination run wild and began to speculate on the inside story of this matter.

"If the murderer is from the Kaguya clan, how did they infiltrate the Uchiha clan's territory? We have a traitor among us! A collaborator like Obito?"

Although he learned the truth about the massacre at the clan's stronghold, Uchiha Gin did not experience much emotional fluctuation, after all, he was no longer the original Uchiha Gin.

The most important thing right now is to understand his own strength, as this is the foundation of his survival. You must know that the original owner of Uchiha Gin was someone who couldn't even beat Uchiha Madara when he was ten years old and hadn't awakened his Sharingan.

Uchiha Gin was very worried about what level this combat power belonged to, and then roughly understood the current power hierarchy based on his memory.

Since the later terms for upper, middle, and lower ninjas don't yet exist, we can roughly categorize individual combat strength into leaders, elders, captains-in-chief, captains, and ordinary combatants.

This should correspond to: Leader - Kage level, Elder - Pseudo-Kage level, Captain-Commander - Elite Jonin, Captain - Jonin, Ordinary Combatant - Special Jonin/Chunin, and Minion - Genin.

The clan leaders of several major clans, such as Uchiha Tajima, Senju Butsuma, Uzumaki Ashina of the Uzumaki clan, and Sarutobi Yukimura of the Sarutobi clan, should be considered to be of Kage-level strength.

The second leaders and elders of each race should be at the pseudo-Shadow level in terms of combat power, which is the level where, after spending their lives, their combat power can be on par with the Shadow level.

His captain, Uchiha Fuuka, had activated three tomoe, so he was probably at the level of an elite jonin to jonin. Uchiha Ryoichi and the others had activated two tomoe, so their level was probably that of a special jonin or chunin.

The original owner was in a rather unfortunate state, having remained unawakened to this day. His taijutsu was mediocre, his swordsmanship was passable but not strong, and his only ninjutsu seemed to be the merciful ninjutsu "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique," which couldn't kill anyone. The only thing he could show off was his shuriken, which had decent accuracy.

Overall rating: Minor culprit.
