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

Chapter 50 Lost Memories: The Most Annoying Thing Is Someone Stealing the Crystal During Team Battles

"Then I'll go find my uncle; he'll definitely let me go."

As expected, he received a rejection. Without further ado, Uchiha Gin grabbed the girl and ran out of the research institute without looking back. Uchiha Yan, preoccupied with other matters, didn't try to stop him.

"Be careful yourselves!"

Along the way, every house was brightly lit, and all the Uchiha clan members who could fight were dressed in armor, took out their best weapons, and walked out of their homes with great momentum, wanting to teach this arrogant enemy a lesson.

"Chief, the enemy has broken through our three lines of defense and is about to invade our territory."

A Uchiha dressed in black reported to Uchiha Tajima, who was changing into his battle suit.

"Why so fast? What's going on with the patrol?"

Upon hearing that the enemy had reached the city gates, Uchiha Tajima, having changed his clothes, questioned them.

"The enemy seemed to know our defenses very well. Before the people at the outposts could react, they were ambushed."

The black-clad Uchiha said with his head down.

"We've only rested for a while, and some people actually think we're no good anymore. They actually dare to launch a brazen attack on us. It's always been us Uchiha who do the beating."

Uchiha Tajima waved his hand and said coldly,

"Let me see who has the guts to do this."

After Uchiha Tajima relayed his order, Uchiha Yan led several hundred elite clansmen with awakened Sharingan to wait at the entrance of the clan compound. Upon arriving, Uchiha Tajima surveyed the clansmen and then shouted...

"Those who offend the Uchiha clan will face certain death!"

"Those who offend the Uchiha clan will die a horrible death!!"

A dense, crimson glow illuminated the darkness, the shouts of hundreds of men deafeningly loud, and a chilling killing intent emanated from the stern-faced clansmen. Uchiha Tajima glanced at his men with satisfaction.

"Move out! Engage the enemy head-on!"

"Clan leader, the enemy is using a bloodline limit. According to the intelligence sent back from the front, they should be the Kaguya clan who have fled to the Land of Water."

On the way, the chubby Uchiha Yan reported to Uchiha Tajima in a low voice that Uchiha Yan's seemingly clumsy body was actually able to keep up with the powerful Uchiha Tajima, and was not at all at a disadvantage.

"Those lunatics? They actually went all this way to ambush us."

Recalling the information about the Kaguya clan, Uchiha Tajima posed a soul-searching question.

"I am unaware."

"It's alright, we can interrogate them after we defeat them."

Uchiha Tajima wasn't worried about losing. Although he didn't want to admit it, for thousands of years, there had only been one person in the world who could rival their clan: the Senju of the Forest.

The Uchiha clan, led by Uchiha Tajima, clashed head-on with the Kaguya clan, and the battlefield, with hundreds of people involved, instantly erupted in smoke and fire.

The Uchiha clan, who are proficient in Fire Release and Genjutsu, are not unskilled in Taijutsu; it's just that their other two skills are so outstanding that their Taijutsu is not particularly remarkable.

In an instant, flames erupted across the battlefield, and blood and bones flew everywhere. The Kaguya clan, fighting like madmen, barely managed to hold back the pace of the battle by trading lives for each other. Uchiha Tajima, watching the Kaguya clan members relentlessly trading blows, suddenly sensed something was amiss.

"Elder Yan, have you seen any of the other side's powerful members?"

For such a large-scale attack, the Kaguya clan did not send out their top combat power, but only some cannon fodder struggling here.

"It seems not. An enemy of this caliber shouldn't be able to penetrate our territory so easily!"

Uchiha Yan, who was skilled in combat, also noticed that something was wrong with the opponent.

"not good!"

As if they had just realized something, their expressions changed drastically, and they both turned to look at their clan's territory in the distance.

The next second, a raging fire rose in the quiet clan territory, illuminating Uchiha Tajima's face in the distance, making him appear exceptionally terrifying.

Not long ago, just as Uchiha Tajima was leading his elite troops to fight against the Kaguya clan, dozens of dark figures quietly infiltrated from the other side of the clan's territory.

Leading the group was none other than Kaguya Sousuke, with a square face. Standing beside him was Kaguya Takuya, a half-blood of his clan and the Hyuga clan.

"Haha, they infiltrated so easily."

Kaguya Sousuke looked excitedly at the unguarded gate before him, laughing wildly as he turned to look at Kaguya Takuya beside him.

"Takuya, you deserve immense credit for this infiltration. I will report to the clan chief when we get back and ask for a reward for you."

"Thank you, Elder!"

As a half-blood, Kaguya Takuya often faced discrimination within his clan. If he hadn't awakened the mutated Byakugan bloodline, he would probably have been reduced to a servant of the pure-blooded Kaguya clan.

This attack bypassed several sentries thanks to his glare, a feat that would secure his place within the clan.

"Why did it take you so long to get here?"

The mysterious figure reappeared silently from the darkness, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Hmph, don't waste time, quickly tell us the secret locations of the Uchiha clan and the hiding places of important figures."

Upon seeing the mysterious person who was supposed to be their contact, Kaguya Sosuke urged him on without any hesitation.

The mysterious man pulled out a simple map from his person, with several locations marked with red crosses. After tossing the map to Kaguya Sousuke, the mysterious man said in a low voice,

"I hope you can hurry up. I can't wait to see Uchiha Tajima's pained expression."

Kaguya Sosuke opened the map. Most of the places marked with red crosses were important locations such as granaries, armories, supply depots, and research institutes. However, the largest of the red crosses was marked "Clan Chief's Residence".

"Hahaha, I really don't know what Uchiha Tajima did to you that makes you hate him so much."

Upon seeing the clan head's residence, which was highlighted, Kaguya Sosuke's bloodthirsty face showed a hint of doubt.

"It's none of your business."

The mysterious man lowered his head, coldly uttered four words, and then disappeared into the darkness without looking back.

"Men, let's go! Let's cause some chaos!"

Kaguya Sousuke handed the map to Kaguya Takuya beside him, raised his arm and led his dozens of elite warriors like wolves into a flock of sheep into the poorly defended Uchiha territory, beginning their carnage.

The mysterious figure standing in the darkness removed his disguise, his eyes gleaming with a dim, eerie light.

Watching the bloodshed caused by the Kaguya clan, the aged Uchiha Yao took out a jar filled with liquid.

Inside, a pair of eyes emitting a faint red glow were floating, and Uchiha Yao, stroking them through the glass, murmured softly.

"Jin, I'll show you how the murderer gets what he deserves."

On the other side, two gaunt figures ran through the silent streets of the Uchiha clan's territory, where the usual lights of every house were now completely obscured by darkness.

"Ah Yin, where are you taking me?"

The girl, who had been carried along by the boy in a daze, asked, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

"Go to my uncle's place, it's absolutely safe there."

Uchiha Gin knew that his uncle's house was still guarded, and that placing the girl there would be the safest option.

As the two were talking, they arrived in front of an impressive mansion. Before they could even knock on the door, several dark figures blocked their way like ghosts.

"The clan chief has decreed that unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter."

The leader, a black-clad Uchiha, stared at them with a red glint in his eyes and an expressionless face, his hand resting lightly on the sword at his waist.

"I'm Uchiha Gin, you've seen me before~"

The man in black in front of him was one of his uncle's personal bodyguards. Uchiha Gin wasn't exactly familiar with him, but they had met a few times.

"The clan leader has gone to the front lines."

The black-clad Uchiha scanned Uchiha Gin with a scrutinizing gaze before speaking.

"Ah! We've already set off."

Upon learning that his uncle had already gone to the battlefield, Uchiha Gin slapped his head in frustration, then said...

"Could you let my friend go inside and take shelter?"

With that, Uchiha Gin pushed the bewildered girl forward.
