The losing streak began

"It was a dark and windy night. I was guarding the door of the chief's office as usual. I didn't dare to relax even when it was late at night, because the chief was still working hard to study countermeasures for the war. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the chief throwing things, and then I heard the chief's roar."

Having said that, Uchiha Gin paused and glanced at the several Uchiha who were listening with great interest.

"Tell me quickly, what did the patriarch roar about?"

Hearing that there was no follow-up on the key point, Uchiha Ryoichi hurriedly urged.

"That's right."

Uchiha tsuru and Uchiha Tora also echoed, and Uchiha Fenghuo, who was silent on the side, also stared at him with curiosity.

Feeling a little thirsty, Uchiha Gin touched the water bottle behind him and found it was empty.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Uchiha Ryoichi already offering his water bottle with both hands. Uchiha Gin felt the dryness in his throat, but didn't complain. He unscrewed the button and drank it down in one gulp.

After drinking the water comfortably, Uchiha Gin raised his hand to signal everyone not to be anxious. Then he gathered his emotions and spoke mysteriously.

"Damned Senju, I will grind you to dust and scatter your ashes, and I will take care of your wife and children!!!"

"What do you mean?"

Uchiha Ryoichi and others were confused.

Uchiha Gin showed a helpless expression at the right moment, sighed and shook his head.

"How can someone as weak as me be qualified to be the personal bodyguard of Chief Tajima? What do you think I rely on to be in this position for so many years?"

"Isn't it because the clan leader is your cousin?" Uchiha Tsuru, who usually doesn't speak much, complained in a low voice, but because the cave was not spacious, his words echoed in the ears of several people as if they were spoken from a loudspeaker.

"Ahem, as the saying goes, it's good to promote the virtuous regardless of their relationship with you."

Uchiha Gin coughed awkwardly.

"I rely on my loyalty to the clan leader. More importantly, I can interpret the clan leader's daily actions."

"Interpretation?"

"For a great ninja like the clan leader, even a casual action or a casual word has a deeper meaning."

"There are some things that the clan leader said, but it is the same as not saying them. There are also some things that the clan leader did not say, but the deep meaning is not something that ordinary people can understand."

"As for our mission this time, the clan leader's order was to kill the genius of the Senju clan on the spot, but the deeper mission was to capture him alive."

"You think, Senju Butsuma has always loved his youngest son very much. A simple sniper attack will only cause the Senju clan to resist to the death, bringing losses to the clan in vain. However, if Senju Butsuma's son is captured alive, the clan leader can use this son to coerce the Senju clan, which will be a hundred benefits for us Uchiha without any harm."

"What a brilliant idea! Did the clan leader reveal all this to you?"

After listening for a long time, Uchiha Fenghuo couldn't help but sigh.

"No, I'm just guessing."

"."

Although it was thrilling, the explanation still fooled Uchiha Fenghuo and others. They just had to wait for the mission to be successfully completed. Whether Senju Itama was dead or alive was no longer Uchiha Gin's business.

After a night's rest, the few of them recovered a little and began to return to the Uchiha clan's territory with the tied-up Senju Itama.

Because their trip was deep behind enemy lines, it would take them nearly half a month to return home.

Since it was Uchiha Gin who saved Senju Itama's life without permission, he was the only one who could be responsible for the transportation.

But the more important reason was that he was afraid that the others would accidentally kill Senju Itama, and then he would fail in the mission and die as well.

After a whole day's journey the next day, they set up camp by a small river at night to rest. During this time, Senju Itama woke up once, but before he could come to his senses, he was slapped unconscious by Uchiha Gin.

Now he didn't have the energy to communicate with Senju Itama as he was already carrying a prisoner.

Even though he had already stripped off the cumbersome armor from Senju Itama, a child still weighed at least thirty or forty kilograms, and the original owner's frail body made it difficult for him to do so.

Uchiha Gin, who was sitting there in a daze, suddenly thought that his Heart Steel Treasure Chest seemed not to have been triggered today. He did not have a clear grasp of the triggering mechanism of the Heart Steel Treasure Chest.

After thinking for a while, he stood up and walked towards Uchiha Ryoichi who was leaning against the tree.

Looking at Uchiha Gin who was coming towards him, Uchiha Ryoichi frowned, not understanding why the other party didn't take a good rest but came to find him instead.

It was because of his drag that the team traveled nearly half less than the planned distance during the day, which made Uchiha Ryoichi, who wanted to go back early to report, feel a little resentful.

"Brother Ryoichi."

Uchiha Gin spoke first.

"Don't call me big brother, I'm younger than you."

Uchiha Gin is 24 years old this year, while Uchiha Ryoichi is only 20 years old. Although he is four years older, there is a huge gap in their strength.

"Ryoichi is in prison."

Uchiha Gin was not polite either.

"."

Looking at the other party's speechless expression, Uchiha Gin did not ignore it.

"Ryoichi, I want to spar with you."

"."

Uchiha Ryoichi was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.

However, Uchiha Gin, who did not receive the notification sound, thought to himself,

"It seems that unilaterally issuing a challenge cannot activate the battle conditions of Heart Steel."

"No time."

Uchiha Ryoichi didn't want to waste his rest time on the rookie Uchiha Gin.

"Are you scared? After all, my Shuriken technique was taught by the clan leader himself, and I have never met an opponent so far."

Uchiha Gin had a sighing expression and shook his head to indicate that it was lonely at the top.

"MD, if I don't shoot you into a sieve today, I'll change my surname to Senju." Uchiha Ryoichi got angry.

Poor ancient people never learned Sun Tzu's Art of War.

"It has been detected that the host is in combat, and the Heart Steel Treasure Box is beginning to accumulate."

Sure enough, Uchiha Gin was delighted when he heard the prompt in his head.

The next step is to face the battle with Uchiha Ryoichi. After all, the two are of the same clan, so the attack will not be fatal.

Uchiha Ryoichi first threw out five shurikens, which drilled into the gaps between Uchiha Gin's limbs from five different angles. Uchiha Gin, relying on the memory of the original owner, also skillfully threw out five shurikens to meet the attack.

As expected, the ten shurikens collided with each other precisely. Looking at the shurikens scattered on the ground, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but have a higher opinion of the original owner. It seemed that the original owner was not useless except for being handsome.

"Interesting, let's try this."

Seeing that the shuriken he threw was actually blocked accurately, Uchiha Ryoichi also started to take it seriously.

He took off the Fuma Shuriken on his back and threw it towards Uchiha Gin with force. Looking at the huge shuriken flying towards him, Uchiha Gin did not rush to dodge, but watched the shuriken flying closer and closer with a calm face.

This scene scared Uchiha Ryoichi who threw the shuriken. He wondered if Uchiha Gin didn't want to live anymore as he didn't even dodge.

He didn't want to be accused of killing his own people, so he quickly moved over to try to stop Uchiha Gin's shuriken before he was cut in half.

Uchiha Ryoichi was very fast. Just when he was about to touch the shuriken, Uchiha Gin quickly fell to the ground with his back prostrated and narrowly avoided the fatal blow. Uchiha Ryoichi, who had lost his target, staggered and almost fell into the river.

Uchiha Gin, who was lying on the ground, raised his hands and said something that sounded like he deserved a beating.

"As expected of you, Uchiha Ryoichi, the family's number one shuriken genius. I, Uchiha Gin, would like to call you the strongest shuriken master! I admit defeat."

"Plop!"

Uchiha Ryoichi was so angry at these words that he couldn't control his body and fell straight into the water. He had never seen such a shameless person.

"Host failed, gain 10 Heart Energy, and after two more battles, you can unlock the Heart Steel Treasure Chest reward. (Current accumulated Heart Energy: 11)"

When Uchiha Gin heard the prompt sound, his eyes lit up. He didn't care about the embarrassment of lying on the ground. He quickly turned over and rescued Uchiha Ryoichi who fell into the water.

"Liang Ryoichi, I think today's battle will end here. It was a very satisfying battle. I have benefited a lot from this battle. I hope to rest tonight and fight again tomorrow!"

Uchiha Gin's words sounded so high-sounding that veins popped out on Uchiha Ryoichi's forehead.

"roll!!!!!!"
