Chapter 7: First Battle After Transmigration

Senju Itama, who was running away with all his might, found that an Uchiha clansman was standing on his only path, and a look of despair appeared on his face.

Only five years old, no matter how much of a genius he was, facing an adult Uchiha, he didn't have much power to fight back.

The Uchiha clan member in front of him had bandages on his curly hair, his two dead-fish eyes were dull and lifeless, as if he didn't feel much excitement about his throwing himself into the net, and the slightly handsome face was instead showing a tangled expression.

Regardless of deep thinking, Senju Itama, holding a kunai, resolutely rushed towards Uchiha Gin who was still in a daze. However, seeing Senju Itama's expression of being ready to die, Uchiha Gin had to draw the samurai sword at his waist and prepare to fight.

"Ping!"

The weapons of the two collided, making a muffled sound. Uchiha Gin, feeling the heavy blow from his arm, flew out several meters away with his face hitting the ground, and then climbed up with a surprised expression.

"Is this kid so strong?"

"Is this guy so weak?"

Senju Itama, who was standing still, looked at the kunai in his hand in disbelief. He couldn't believe that he could actually repel an adult Uchiha.

Uchiha Gin swore that he didn't hold back just now. Because it was the first battle after transmigration, he subconsciously used his full strength, but the result was actually knocked away by a five-year-old child.

Looking at the embarrassed Uchiha Gin climbing up, Senju Itama's eyes burst with hope for life, and he waved the kunai more vigorously and rushed towards the Uchiha opposite.

Just then, a prompt sound from the system rang in Uchiha Gin's mind.

"Detected that the host encountered a battle, Heartsteel treasure chest started accumulating..."

The Heartsteel treasure chest in the consciousness sea began to tremble, and then played a high-energy BGM like a speaker.

Listening to the familiar BGM in his head, Uchiha Gin's brain twitched. Can the things produced by this old system be reliable?

Returning to the battle, Senju Itama, limited by his height, was about to stab Uchiha Gin's lower three paths with the kunai in his hand. Uchiha Gin, who blocked the magical BGM in his head, barely dodged this move that wanted his little brother's life.

Then he started a classic Uchiha sword technique and slashed at Senju Itama, but was blocked by the other party relying on the kunai. He looked speechlessly at his full-force blow being easily resolved by a five-year-old child.

Uchiha Gin finally confirmed that the original owner of his body was truly a piece of trash.

Twenty-plus years of time were all lived on a dog, and his combat power could only be considered the level of a Genin in later generations, not the level of the Twelve Rookie Genin, but the level of background Genin.

Even so, he couldn't easily admit defeat now. Uchiha Fenghuo and Uchiha Liang Yi and others might end the battle soon. Even if he let Senju Itama go now, he would lose his life at their hands in the next moment.

And his task was to save Senju Itama from the hands of Uchiha Fenghuo and others. Now that he was the only one on the field, he wasn't sure if letting him go would complete the task. If it was counted as failure, he could only delete his account and restart.

The two fought back and forth for a few rounds, and the two chickens pecked at each other, unable to distinguish the winner.

"As expected of the genius young master of the Senju clan, I, Uchiha Gin, am willing to call you the strongest in taijutsu."

Uchiha Gin said to Senju Itama, who was panting.

"Uchiha Gin, right? You're not bad either, I, Senju Itama, recognize you."

The voice was soft and glutinous, a good seedling for a little 'Nan Liang'~

Senju Itama, who was also facing an enemy for the first time, also had his middle-school soul burst out, and the natural dull temperament unique to the Senju clan was revealed undoubtedly.

Just when the two were in a stalemate, Uchiha Fenghuo and others had already ended the battle. Senju Koji was hit head-on by Uchiha Fenghuo's Fire Style - Great Fireball Technique, life or death unknown.

Oh my god, Great Fireball killed someone?

The three Senju clansmen of the guard team were also defeated by Uchiha Liang Yi and the three, lying on the ground covered in blood.

They saw that Uchiha Gin hadn't killed Senju Itama yet, so they all surrounded him.

Senju Itama and Uchiha Gin were "fighting fiercely," and the two even fought out a feeling of cherishing each other.

But Senju Itama was only five years old after all, and his physical strength was obviously not as good as Uchiha Gin, who was already an adult.

In a wave of confrontation, his hands and feet softened, and he was knocked away by Uchiha Gin, hitting a protruding rock behind him, unable to get up for a long time.

"Host wins, obtained heart energy point*1, can unlock Heartsteel treasure chest reward after three more battles. (Current accumulated heart energy: 1)"

After running out of strength and falling to the ground, Senju Itama was judged by the system to have lost to Uchiha Gin.

With the end of the battle, Uchiha Fenghuo and others also came to Uchiha Gin's side, and the five people surrounded Senju Itama, who was slowly climbing up, in a siege, and the famous scene in the original work was achieved.

Looking at the five adult Uchihas surrounding him in despair, Senju Itama, who was holding the kunai trembling, only had despair left in his eyes. He understood that he might follow his third brother today.

Uchiha Liang Yi teased and threw a shuriken, which grazed Senju Itama's face and stuck into the rock behind him.

This action collapsed Senju Itama's last psychological defense. Only five years old, his whole body began to tremble, and tears began to well up in his eyes.

"Alright, our mission can be considered completed. Solve him quickly, the Senju clan's reinforcements should arrive soon."

Uchiha Fenghuo, who had eaten the explosive blow from Senju Koji before he died, was not in a very good state. His eyes were very sore at this time, which was caused by excessive use of the Sharingan.

The others heard this and looked at Uchiha Gin, who was silent, at the same time.

Because the one who worked the hardest in this mission was Uchiha Gin. He even dared to break into the Senju clan's territory alone to complete this mission.

Although his strength was insufficient, the few people who had heard his "Uchiha Declaration" subconsciously felt that this mission should be concluded by him.

Uchiha Gin, who was stared at by the few people, also guessed what the few people thought from their gazes. Without hesitation, his expression was uncertain, and he slowly drew his sword and walked towards Senju Itama, who had already given up resistance.

With a wave of his hand, under the surprised gazes of others, he knocked Senju Itama unconscious to the ground with the back of his sword.

"???"

"Uchiha Gin, what do you mean?"

For Uchiha Gin, who showed mercy, the few people questioned his behavior.

"A living young master of the Senju clan is more useful than a dead one."

Uchiha Gin, with no expression on his face, said, and then sheathed his samurai sword back to his waist, then squatted down and carried Senju Itama, who had fainted.

"Our mission is only to clear the Senju seedlings, don't be nosy, kill him quickly, and let's evacuate."

For Uchiha Gin's disobedience, Uchiha Fenghuo seemed a bit angry. As a captain, he couldn't accept being disobeyed by a team member.

"I said, a living Senju is more useful than a corpse."

Just when the smell of gunpowder between the two sides was getting stronger and stronger, Uchiha Feihe in the team changed his face.

"The mechanism I set was triggered, the Senju clan's reinforcements are coming soon!"

It turned out that Uchiha Feihe had set up a few mechanisms around before the battle, and he could perceive it for the first time after they were triggered.

"Evacuate first!"

Hearing that the other party had reinforcements approaching, Uchiha Fenghuo, who was injured, didn't dare to delay any longer. Continuing to argue would only lead to worse results.

"Yes!"

The crowd who received the order stood up and quickly evacuated in the direction away from the Senju clan territory. Uchiha Gin breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

But he didn't dare to put Senju Itama down just like that, so he had to carry the unconscious brat and follow behind the team to evacuate.

The few people rushed wildly with all their might until they couldn't sense the tracking behind them before stopping.

The few people who escaped the tracking rested in a cave, and the unconscious Senju Itama was tied up by Uchiha Gin with chains.

He didn't have the means to seal chakra yet, so he could only roughly wrap Senju Itama up like a zongzi with chains, circle by circle.

"Uchiha Gin, I hope you give me a reasonable explanation."

Uchiha Fenghuo, sitting in front of the campfire, looked at Senju Itama, who was tied up like a zongzi, and questioned Uchiha Gin, who had just finished and was wiping his sweat.

Sensing that he would be questioned sooner or later, Uchiha Gin brought out the rhetoric he had thought of before.

"I left a living mouth, all because of the clan leader."

Uchiha Gin explained.

The few people heard this answer and looked at each other. Because the mission they received from the clan leader was only to get rid of the Senju, there was no order to capture alive.

Uchiha Gin's nonsense began.

"This all started from the time I stood guard in front of the clan leader's door..."
