Chapter 51 Lost Memories: The Relatives Who Provided Divine Assistance Were Especially Kind
"No, the clan leader has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."
The black-clad Uchiha was utterly impartial; he wouldn't even open the door for the Sage of Six Paths.
"Don't do that!"
Uchiha Gin was immediately anxious. There was chaos outside, and he was worried about leaving the girl alone in the research institute.
"I'm sorry, but if you continue to act unreasonably, I'll have no choice but to follow the rules."
As the black-clad Uchiha spoke, he slowly drew the sword from his waist.
"Let them in!"
The gates of the mansion suddenly opened, and Uchiha Tajima's wife walked out, looking exhausted.
"Hello, Auntie!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Uchiha Gin dashed over, greeting the woman with a grin, then turned to the girl and called out,
"Come quickly and pay your respects to your aunt."
Modern people are quite adept at navigating interpersonal relationships and social interactions.
The young girl, who had hurried over, looked at the unfamiliar woman in front of her and said somewhat nervously,
"Greetings, Madam Chief."
"You must be Hikaru, the little guy that Gin always talks about. Don't be so formal, just call me Auntie like Gin does."
Uchiha Tajima's wife, seeing her eldest nephew with a beautiful young girl, could guess the relationship between the two even if she was stupid.
"Aunt, I won't go in."
After settling the girl with Uchiha Tajima's wife, Uchiha Gin declined her invitation to enter the house.
"I'm going to the front lines. I'm sure I can help my uncle with that."
After saying this, without waiting for Uchiha Tajima's wife to stop him, Uchiha Gin gave the girl a reassuring gesture and disappeared into the night.
"Hopefully, it's not too late."
As Uchiha Gin sprinted through the streets, he prayed in his heart, increasing the force of his steps as he ran like the wind towards the gate of the clan's territory.
Suddenly, a chilling aura swept over them, and Uchiha Gin unconsciously stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixed on the corner ahead, where killing intent emanated.
Sure enough, the next moment, several unfamiliar men in black came out from around the corner. Their faces were covered in blood, but their expressions were not fearful; instead, they exuded a bloodthirsty aura.
"Who are you people?"
Uchiha Gin, who had just met the group, was the first to ask a question. Judging from their strange appearances, he knew that they were not his clansmen and, at this point in time, could only be his enemies.
Thinking this, Uchiha Gin began to refine his chakra, his nerves were on high alert, and his eyes gradually turned blood red.
Although he had been working at the research institute, his combat skills had not suffered. His uncle, Uchiha Tajima, was a very strict teacher.
"Haha, there's a little devil here too."
The man in the lead looked at the thin boy in front of him and couldn't help but burst into laughter. After he finished speaking, several men surrounded him, clenching their fists.
"Since we're enemies, I won't hold back."
Surrounded by several menacing figures, Uchiha Gin remained unusually calm. With his Sharingan activated, he could clearly sense that the strength of the people in front of him was no weaker than that of an ordinary combatant; they were at least at the level of a squad leader.
Uchiha Gin raised his head and revealed a bright smile. Feeling slighted, the group swung their fists, as big as casserole dishes, and smashed them straight at him with overwhelming force, leaving him nowhere to escape.
"Kill him!"
Just as the group was about to smash the boy in front of them into a pulp, several fists froze a few centimeters in front of his eyes.
The man in the lead was flushed, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move his fist an inch.
[Genjutsu: Sharingan]
The group felt as if their bodies were filled with lead and they couldn't move. Uchiha Gin didn't hesitate and used another Sharingan genjutsu to knock out everyone except the leader. Then, he stared at the only man who was still conscious and used his eye power to hypnotize him.
The hypnotized man stood there blankly, obediently awaiting Uchiha Gin's judgment.
"Who are you people?"
"We are ninjas of the Kaguya clan."
The man who claimed to be from the Kaguya clan answered without hesitation.
It's actually the Kaguya clan! Didn't the original story say they were driven to the Land of Water?
How could they have traveled thousands of miles to get here?
Uchiha Gin sensed a conspiracy.
"What is your purpose?"
"Occupy Uchiha clan territory and capture important members of the Uchiha clan."
The Kaguya clan man answered truthfully. Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin immediately became agitated. The other party actually wanted to raid their base and was even preparing to use hostages to threaten them.
"How many of you are there, and who is your leader?"
Uchiha Gin wanted to know exactly how many people had infiltrated. Now, most of the clan's fighting force had been lured away, and only one in ten remained. If the enemy succeeded, it would be a catastrophe for the Uchiha clan.
"We have 80 people who have infiltrated, led by Elder Kaguya Sosuke."
There are 80 Kaguya clan ninjas who can be dispatched on a base raiding mission, so their strength must not be too weak.
Where did they all go?
Wanting to know the exact whereabouts of these 80 people, Uchiha Gin hurriedly asked.
"Granaries, armories, supply depots, research institutes, and the chieftain's residence."
The Kaguya clan members, who were under control, rattled off several place names as if they were old friends. Uchiha Gin gasped in shock. These places were the Achilles' heel of the Uchiha clan, especially the clan head's residence.
"Oh no! Xiao Guang is still there."
Thinking of Uchiha Hikaru, whom he had recently placed in the clan head's residence, Uchiha Gin felt a tightness in his heart.
Having no intention of questioning them further, he pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and flung out several shuriken, sending the intruders to their deaths.
Is this what killing feels like?
Watching the Kaguya clan members gradually lose their life force, Gin Uchiha felt a deep sense of frustration.
It's time for me to adapt to this era.
Given the current situation, it's too late to go find Uchiha Tajima. We can only hope that he can discover Kaguya's conspiracy soon.
Uchiha Gin's only thought right now was to hurry back to the clan head's mansion to protect his aunt, Hikaru, and the others.
Without delay, he set off immediately, stepping onto the streets of the Uchiha camp once more. The scene was no longer as peaceful as it had been during the day; many ordinary Uchiha clan members lay in pools of blood, their fates unknown.
Seeing such a horrific scene for the first time, Uchiha Gin was breathless. The pungent smell of blood made him feel nauseous. He suppressed his discomfort and rushed to the clan head's mansion, which he had just left.
Outside the clan head's mansion, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard incessantly. Kaguya Sōsuke, at the head of the clan, confidently directed his men to fight against the guards led by the black-clad Uchiha.
By the time Uchiha Gin arrived, most of the guards had been killed or wounded. The black-clad Uchiha was still struggling to hold on with red eyes, his body covered in wounds.
Upon discovering that instead of reinforcements arrived, it was the boy Uchiha Gin who appeared. In his astonishment, he revealed an opening and was heavily struck away by the strange white weapon wielded by the Kaguya clan, falling to the ground unconscious.
"Hahaha, so this brat is the reinforcement you're talking about?"
Kaguya Sosuke, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, laughed loudly as he looked at the boy who had just arrived and made a sarcastic remark.
Uchiha Gin looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that the group had not yet stormed the clan head's residence. Then his expression turned serious. Judging from the aura emanating from the Kaguya clan member who was speaking, this was a tough opponent.
Not daring to be overconfident, Uchiha Gin began to focus all his energy on refining his chakra. The tomoe in his eyes began to slowly rotate, and a cold chakra permeated everywhere. Even the Kaguya clan, whose senses were not sharp, could see the signs.
"This kid is no ordinary person, make your move quickly."
Seeing that something was wrong, Kaguya Sousuke immediately gave the order, and the surrounding Kaguya clansmen rushed forward.
It was too late. Before they could even touch the hem of Uchiha Gin's clothes, a burst of black flames suddenly erupted from the bodies of the people at the front, and they could not extinguish it no matter what they did.
【Amaterasu】
In the end, the few Kaguya clan members who were touched by the flames were burned alive to ashes. The black flames, having lost their carrier, did not go out and continued to burn on the ground, a truly terrifying sight.
