Chapter 123: An Unfamiliar Acquaintance

"Tsk, damn it! Late again."

Just after the Hagoromo clan had transferred away, a group of people arrived aggressively. Looking at the messy traces everywhere, the leading man couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Captain Haoji, the young clan head instructed that if you find traces of the Hagoromo clan again, you must report it immediately."

A red-haired man behind the man reminded him. They had lost the trail several times during this period, each time missing it by just a little.

In the darkness, the leading man revealed his true face. His skin was scorched black, covered in scars, and there was a particularly obvious scar at the corner of his eye. The hideous burn marks on his face were exceptionally eye-catching.

"Alright, please go and notify our young clan head. The traces are still very fresh; we will continue the pursuit."

He spoke slowly, arranging the task for the red-haired man who had reminded him just now in a hoarse voice. Immediately after, he waved his hand and led the remaining people to follow the traces.

"Since you asked so sincerely, I will tell you with mercy."

At the very rear of the Hagoromo clan's transfer troop, Uchiha Gin was talking eloquently.

Beside him, the two golden and silver brothers were holding small notebooks, carefully recording the strategy of a certain curly-haired guy. Their serious expressions showed they were afraid of remembering it wrong or missing anything.

"The Art of War says: Heaven's time, Earth's advantage, and Human harmony. If you don't have all three, even if you win, there will be disaster."

Looking at the two bewildered brothers, Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows, his handsome face full of heartbreak.

"Tsk! Doesn't your Hagoromo clan teach cultural classes?"

"Huh??"

The two brothers looked at each other in silence, both seeing big question marks in each other's eyes.

"Alright, alright, then I'll explain it to you in a way that's easy to understand. Pick up your pens and take notes!"

Uchiha Gin rubbed his hands helplessly, which made the two brothers feel guilty. Could it be that they were really illiterate?

"Do you know what kind of jutsu Senju Tobirama is best at?"

Hearing this, the two brothers shook their heads in unison.

"Water Style! You don't even understand the most basic intelligence, and you want to take revenge on him?"

We're taking notes, we're taking notes!

"Think about it. Since Senju Tobirama is good at Water Style, you must choose to ambush him during the driest time of midsummer. This is Heaven's time!"

Good, good, good, summer, dry and water-deficient.

"That white-haired guy also has a space-time ninjutsu that comes and goes like a ghost, so you must choose a relatively closed and narrow venue to unfold the battle. This is Earth's advantage!"

Noted, noted!

Uchiha Gin narrowed his eyes, not harboring any good intentions in his heart.

"Just said Senju Tobirama has a ninjutsu that comes and goes freely, so you must use people or objects to contain him, making him unable to escape alone. This is Human harmony!"

After saying this, Uchiha Gin thought for a moment and added another sentence: that white-haired guy has too many schemes, so you can't leave him room to think.

"And one more most important thing: when attacking, remember not to chat with him. Just rush up together; don't give him time to think."

The two brothers, who had written a long passage of Uchiha Gin's strategy, raised their heads and looked at Uchiha Gin, who was full of bad water, with suspicious eyes.

"Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple. This set of military tactics applies to anyone. If you can't take revenge, I'll refund you."

Uchiha Gin said with certainty.

He had collected the reward from these two kids before the lecture, otherwise, how could he teach so much real material?

The two brothers, hearing Uchiha Gin's guarantee while patting his chest, temporarily put aside their doubts and tucked the small notebook into their clothes, preparing to savor it day and night in the future.

"Eh?"

Just as Uchiha was about to take out the scroll the two brothers had secretly given him from his pocket to carefully check the treasure, his super-perception, which had been hanging, suddenly had feedback.

Hmm, one elite captain, eighteen captains. Did they catch up so quickly?

Clearly sensing the vast life force contained in the pursuers, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in his heart. Why were these Senju clan guys always able to accurately track the Hagoromo clan?

"Gin, is someone chasing us?"

Uchiha Guang's perception wasn't bad either. A little later than Uchiha Gin, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the girl's eyes.

Don't look at her being gentle and delicate in front of Uchiha Gin and others. Before being sealed, she had been a "war weapon" for a long time, and the number of enemies who died at her hands was countless.

Naturally, the girl wouldn't have any good looks for the mortal enemy who sealed her.

"Shall I go solve them?"

The girl, who hadn't killed in a long time, had a trace of scarlet in her eyes, and her calm tone carried bloodthirsty excitement.

"No need, I'll go meet them."

Uchiha Gin didn't want the girl to come into contact with too much blood. There was still a dark side dormant in Uchiha Guang's body. If she got too high in the fight and was seized by the dark personality, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Mr. Gin, Senior Guang, what are you talking about?"

Uchiha Uchiha Zhili, who was weaker, listened to the two's nonsensical words and tilted her head to ask.

"Nothing, there are bugs."

Uchiha Gin laughed it off, signaling the girl not to overthink it.

Taking advantage of others not paying attention, Uchiha Gin formed a seal with his hand. A wooden branch quietly stretched out from behind him, fell to the ground, and turned into a Uchiha Gin.

【Wood Style: Wood Clone】

This move was also brushed by Uchiha Gin from the model worker Yamato. For a period of time, Yamato would always refresh in the backyard. That NPC would rush over with seals after seeing him, which made him feel inexplicable.

But thanks to him, he also brushed out a lot of Wood Style ninjutsu.

Uchiha Gin's main body deliberately slowed down his pace, gave Uchiha Guang beside him a reassuring look, let the Wood Clone replace his position, and then quietly merged into the darkness behind him.

Uchiha Gin, who had left the team, flashed to the other party's only path, closed his eyes and opened them again, switching to the mutated Byakugan with blue light. His vision instantly became unobstructed, passing through layers of trees, clearly observing the aggressive group of people.

Leading them was a man with severe burns. Under his unrecognizable face, Uchiha Gin couldn't tell who the other party was, only feeling that the aura was a bit familiar.

The people following behind the man were all Senju clan members with black hair. However, what made Uchiha Gin curious was that there were no sensory ninjas among these people, all of them were combatants. Then how exactly did they accurately find the Hagoromo clan?

With this question, Uchiha Gin closed his Byakugan, his pair of pitch-black eyes emitting a faint glow. He chose to wait here for the other party to come to the door to solve his confusion.

"Damn, the guy from the Uzumaki clan is gone. We can no longer find the location of the Hagoromo clan."

Senju Haoji found that the traces left by the Hagoromo clan were getting fewer and fewer. Their group didn't have any sensory ninjas either. If they continued to chase like this, they would definitely lose the trail.

"Captain! There seems to be someone lying in front."

Just when Senju Haoji was in a predicament, the clan member behind him discovered that on the road not far ahead, a person was lying leisurely on a lounge chair eating melon seeds.

"Stop! Be careful of traps!"

The alert Senju Haoji immediately stopped his steps, stopped the clan members behind him from moving forward, and instead started looking around, trying to find the ambush around him.

"Spread out and search for ambushes."

After a while, the Senju Haoji, who had gained nothing, frowned with his bald eyebrows. Having been burned beyond recognition a few years ago, he could be said to be hairless all over his body at this time. He asked the clan members who were slowly gathering back:

"Did you find anything?"

"No!" x18

"No~" x1

Eh? Why is there a different answer?

All the Senju clan members looked at the non-conforming voice in unison, looking at the other party who was scratching his head a bit embarrassedly. A head of fluffy curly hair looked so alternative among the black-haired Senju clan around him.

"Oh, headache."

Uchiha Gin, who thought he had successfully infiltrated, scratched his head embarrassedly. He hadn't expected to be discovered just after infiltrating. These Senju clan members were really too cunning.

"You guy? Is..."

The Senju clan members on the scene all drew their weapons, looking vigilantly at the alien who had mixed into their midst.

The leading Senju Haoji was about to say something, but when he saw the fluffy curly hair and the lazy expression of the newcomer, he shouted in surprise:

"Careful! This guy is an Uchiha!"

"Tsk! My eyes aren't red either? How did you see that I'm an Uchiha?"

For this mission, Uchiha Gin specifically chose not to wear the Uchiha clan's attire, but wore casual clothes. This was also the reason why the Hagoromo clan's sentries didn't recognize them at first.

He hadn't expected the other party to recognize him as an Uchiha at a glance, which made Uchiha Gin couldn't help but feel a trace of curiosity.

You have to know that after he transmigrated, he basically soaked in the dungeon and hadn't gone out to do any missions. How did this Senju clan guy know him? Could it be...

"Sigh, sure enough, excellent people are the focus wherever they go. Although I am not in the Jianghu, the Jianghu has always had my legend."

Uchiha Gin modestly brushed his bangs, revealing a smile he thought was handsome to the Senju clan before him.

"Tell me! Is my name already spread to the Senju clan?"

"This guy, so annoying!"

Someone said, and the rest of the people started to echo.

No, who is he, brother?

Eighteen Senju clan members locked their eyes on the leading man in unison, hoping to give them a satisfactory answer.

"Where is Uchiha Uchiha Fenghuo!!!"

Senju Haoji was furious at this moment. The eyes looking at Uchiha Gin were filled with bright red bloodshot eyes. A pair of fists full of burn marks were clenched until they creaked. He squeezed out a sentence from his mouth.

?

Captain Uchiha Fenghuo? That's an old calendar from which year? How come someone is still bringing up old people after so long.

Uchiha Gin looked strangely at the somewhat crazy Senju clan before him. Looking closely, he found him more and more familiar, and said hesitantly:

"Are you..."

"That's right! I am..."

"Who? Who recognizes you when you're burned into this ghost look?"

Burned into a Deadpool, I can recognize a ghost!

"Puff!!!"

Senju Haoji, who thought the other party recognized him, heard Uchiha Gin say this in an annoying tone. For a time, his blood surged, and then he felt a sweetness in his throat. He couldn't hold it and sprayed a mouthful of blood.

"Ai ai ai, referee, look, I haven't made a move yet, and he fell down!"
