Chapter 21: Strange Dream and Strange Strength

Uchiha Gin had a dream. The dream was like opening a dynamic comic book.

The first scene, a boy holding the hand of a crying girl and saying something.

The second scene, the boy kneeling in despair in a sea of fire, in front of him were the broken corpses of old, weak, women, and children,

The third scene, the boy kneeling on the ground was surrounded by ferocious black shadows, but the background was a red moon slowly rising.

The fourth scene, the flames surrounding the boy were illuminated by the red moon into a weird black.

The fifth scene, the boy's eyes had turned into two bloody holes, blood flowing incessantly, but his mouth was filled with a brilliant smile.

Just as he was about to turn the page, Uchiha Gin felt a sharp pain in his head, and the dream came to an abrupt end.

Struggling to lift his eyelids, the full moon was still hanging in the sky, the surrounding scene hadn't changed, and the vague, unclear muttering of Senju Itama in his sleep came from the tent in front of him, making everything seem more real.

He wanted to get up but found that his whole body was as if it had fallen apart, especially his back and head, as if he had been hit head-on by a train. This feeling was just like when he first transmigrated.

Uchiha Gin lifted his arm to check if there were any traces of injury, but found that the right arm that had been easily crushed by the woman before fainting was as good as new,

"It seems this wave of skills has been endured."

His injuries had recovered, which meant that the skills refreshed tonight had finished being released.

"Backyard daily refresh random skill 【Strange Strength】, obtained Strange Strength * 1."

The system's prompt sounded.

"!!!"

Ignoring the psychological pain, Uchiha Gin turned over and stood up, examining his thin, fair hands.

Trying to clench his fists hard, he then felt a special warm current coming from his heart, gathering on his hands, and a violent force seemed to be about to break out of his body.

Staring at a huge rock on the side, Uchiha Gin lifted a fist and smashed it hard.

The moment the two touched, the hard rock was hit by his seemingly weak fist, carrying a majestic airflow, and a huge deep pit was created.

Cracks like a spider web extended from the position of the fist to the entire rock. Looking at his results in disbelief, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but feel his throat dry.

"Is this the legendary Strange Strength?"

"Strange Strength: The ability of the Senju clan, precisely controlling chakra, concentrating chakra on any part of the body, and then erupting with powerful airflow, capable of easily shattering walls."

The system explained intimately for him.

Getting up and moving around, the soreness of his whole body just now also slowly disappeared. The damage caused by the backyard refresh skill would recover after the skill was finished. Although his head would still remember being hit, his body wouldn't suffer any damage.

Uchiha Gin, after the excitement, sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, recalling the heroic posture of the woman who fell from the sky just now.

Although it was just a glimpse, as a fan of the original work, he still recognized who the "technician" was at the first moment.

"Tsunade, right? Is she really not here to avenge Uzumaki Mito?"

Recalling Tsunade, who didn't know if she was still a girl just now, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but complain out loud.

He had just bid farewell to Uzumaki Mito during the day, and at night he had a "close exchange" with her own granddaughter.

"Really, no grudges are left overnight!"

Uchiha Gin, who had gained a lot, raised his eyebrows and thought.

"But at least a useful skill came out."

Uchiha Gin, who had mastered Strange Strength, had his strength reach a higher level. Now he should be able to wrestle with Uchiha Fenghuo, who was in the dark.

The increase in strength certainly made Uchiha Gin happy, but thinking of Senju Itama's mission, he had a headache again. It was clearly an initial mission, so why was it so cumbersome?

Unable to figure it out, he simply gave up thinking and returned to the tent to look at Senju Itama, who was sleeping soundly.

Suddenly, anger rose from his heart, and evil grew to his courage. He picked up the kid who was sleeping soundly, threw him out, and lay down on the mat he had just warmed up.

Feeling the warmth under him, Uchiha Gin fell asleep satisfied, leaving Senju Itama, who had been thrown awake, blowing the cold wind alone outside the tent.

"Achoo! Achoo oh~"

Listening to the sneezing sounds outside the tent, Uchiha Gin, who was sleeping very sweetly, stretched, walked out, and saw Senju Itama curled up by the tent. Ignoring the other party's resentful eyes, Uchiha Gin neatly packed up the tent.

According to the distance, if there were no accidents today, they could rush back to the clan land. Looking at the kid who hadn't been "cared for" less by him along the way, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but worry for himself.

"Should I take this kid and defect to the Senju?"

A bold idea rose in his mind, and the next moment it was extinguished by him.

Now the two families were fighting fiercely, and the clansmen of Uchiha and Senju were killing each other. If he defected, he would be executed on the spot as a spy.

Even if he succeeded in defecting, he would definitely be treated as a traitor by the Uchiha side. Maybe he would be "God-Hidden" by Uchiha Fenghuo while sleeping at night.

Neither was appropriate. Uchiha Gin shook his head secretly and could only take one step at a time.

Immediately packing his luggage, he took Senju Itama to rendezvous with the others. The few people in the distance were already sitting together waiting to set off.

Seeing Uchiha Gin, who arrived last, the few people didn't speak tacitly, but looked at him vigilantly.

This confused Uchiha Gin. Could it be that someone had awakened the mind-reading system and heard his little thoughts about running away clearly? Uchiha Gin began to imagine wildly.

"We won't spar with you."

Seeing Uchiha Gin silent but with a strange expression, Uchiha Liang Yi spoke first.

"That's right, that's right."

Uchiha He and Uchiha Da Lang nodded tacitly.

So that's what it was!

Uchiha Gin breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that in order to brush the Heartsteel chest in the past few days, he had made these people neurotic. He said refreshingly,

"Don't worry, everyone. We are going home soon. I won't delay everyone's time and energy. Let's make an appointment for sparring after we go back!"

"No appointment, uncle, we don't make appointments."

This time it was the three people shaking their heads tacitly.

"..."

"Alright, let's set off after packing up."

Uchiha Fenghuo, who appeared behind him unknown when, said.

"Yes!"

The following journey was relatively stable. Under the continuous rush of the few, the distance to the Uchiha clan land became closer and closer.

With the curling smoke rising ahead, the members of the Uchiha squad finally let go of their hanging hearts, except for Uchiha Gin.

"Who goes there!"

Just as they were approaching the Uchiha clan land, two figures flashed out from the darkness. Their pitch-black long hair combined with scarlet eyes very clearly revealed their identities.

"We are the Uchiha squad returning from a mission. I am the captain, Uchiha Fenghuo. We have completed the mission and returned to report."

Uchiha Fenghuo, as the captain, said, revealing his Sharingan.

"So it's Lord 'God-Hidden Fenghuo.' You guys are really fast, you can be considered the first wave of squads to return. Hurry back and rest!"

Hearing Uchiha Fenghuo report his name, one of the Uchiha said respectfully.

These patrolling Uchiha clansmen were just the most basic combat personnel, and their strength hadn't reached the qualifications to perform missions outside. For Uchiha Fenghuo, who had already made a name for himself, they were naturally very respectful.

They glanced roughly at Uchiha Liang Yi and the others behind him, and finally stopped their gaze on Uchiha Gin, who was carrying a kid.

"Who is that guy, why is he carrying a brat?"

The patrolling Uchiha clansman couldn't help but ask. The next moment, his companion hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, looking terrified, signaling him not to say more.

The Uchiha squad that had just been released had just left. The Uchiha clansman whose mouth had been covered broke free from his companion's hand and asked,

"Why stop me from questioning that guy?"

"You should thank me properly. I saved your life."

Shaking the saliva in his palm, the other Uchiha clansman said with a look of relief.

"?"

The Uchiha clansman who had just had his mouth covered was full of question marks.

"That guy, he is Uchiha Gin!"
