Chapter 50: Side Story of the Original Host: The Most Annoying Thing During a Team Fight is Someone Backdooring the Base

"Hmph, I'll go find my uncle. He will definitely let me go."

With that, Uchiha Gin grabbed the young girl and ran out of the research institute without looking back. Uchiha Yan had too much on his plate, so he didn't stop them further.

"Be careful yourselves!"

Along the way, every household was brightly lit. Every Uchiha clansman capable of fighting donned their battle armor, drew their ultimate weapons, and marched aggressively out of their homes, eager to teach this reckless enemy a lesson.

"Lord Patriarch, the enemy has broken through our three defense lines and is about to invade the clan grounds."

A black-clad Uchiha reported to Uchiha Tajima, who was currently changing into his battle gear.

"Why so fast? What happened to the patrol squads?"

Hearing that the enemy was already at the gates, Uchiha Tajima finished changing and questioned sternly.

"The enemy seems to know our deployment very well. Our sentinels were ambushed before they could even react."

The black-clad Uchiha said with his head lowered.

"We merely rested for a short while, and yet some actually think we are done for, daring to openly launch an attack against us. It has always been the Uchiha who strike others."

Uchiha Tajima waved his large hand and said coldly, "Let me see who has the audacity."

After Uchiha Tajima's orders were passed down, Uchiha Yan led several hundred elite clansmen who had awakened their Sharingan and waited at the entrance of the clan grounds. When Uchiha Tajima arrived, he swept his gaze across the clansmen and shouted,

"Those who offend the Uchiha shall find no escape in death!"

"Those who offend our Uchiha shall find no escape in death!!" "Those who offend our Uchiha shall find no escape in death!!" "Those who offend our Uchiha shall find no escape in death!!"......

The slogans shouted by several hundred people were deafening, and a chilling killing intent emanated from each stern-faced clansman. Uchiha Tajima looked at his subordinates with satisfaction.

"Move out! Meet the enemy head-on!"

"Patriarch, the enemy is using a Bloodline Limit. According to intelligence from the front lines, they appear to be the Kaguya clan who fled into the Land of Water."

Along the way, the portly Uchiha Yan reported in a low voice to Uchiha Tajima. Despite his seemingly clumsy build, Uchiha Yan was able to keep up with the powerful Uchiha Tajima without falling behind in the slightest.

"Those madmen? To think they went so far out of their way to ambush us."

Recalling the intelligence on the Kaguya clan, Uchiha Tajima voiced a rhetorical question.

"This subordinate does not know."

"No matter. It won't be too late to interrogate them after we defeat them."

Uchiha Tajima was not worried about losing. Though he was reluctant to admit it, for thousands of years, the only clan in this world that could rival theirs was the Senju of the Forest.

The Uchiha clan, led by Uchiha Tajima, collided head-on with the Kaguya clan, and the battlefield of several hundred people instantly erupted into the smoke of war.

The Uchiha clan, proficient in Fire Release and illusions, was not unskilled in taijutsu; it was merely that their other two aspects were so overwhelmingly superior that their taijutsu did not stand out as much.

For a moment, flames blazed across the battlefield, and flesh and blood flew. The frenzied Kaguya clan relied on a life-for-life combat style to barely stall the rhythm of battle. Seeing the Kaguya clan exchanging injuries for life without hesitation, Uchiha Tajima suddenly felt something was amiss.

"Elder Yan, have you seen any of the enemy's top fighters?"

During such a large-scale attack, the Kaguya clan actually did not deploy their top-tier combat power, leaving only some cannon fodder to struggle here.

"It seems not. Enemies of this caliber shouldn't be able to penetrate our heartland so easily!"

Uchiha Yan, who excelled at warfare, also noticed that the enemy's situation was not right.

"Not good!"

The two seemed to realize something, their expressions changing drastically as they simultaneously turned their heads to look at the distant clan grounds.

The next second, raging fires rose within the serene clan grounds, reflecting on the face of Uchiha Tajima in the distance, looking exceptionally terrifying.

Not long ago, just as Uchiha Tajima was leading the elites to intercept the Kaguya clan, dozens of dark figures quietly sneaked in from the other side of the clan grounds.

Leading them was none other than Kaguya Sosuke with his square jaw, and standing beside him was Kaguya Takuya, a person of mixed blood between their clan and the Hyuga.

"Hahaha, to think we infiltrated so easily."

Kaguya Sosuke looked excitedly at the unattended gate before him, laughing wildly, then turned to look at Kaguya Takuya beside him.

"Takuya, your contribution to this infiltration is monumental. When we return, I will report to the Patriarch and request a reward for you."

"Thank you, Elder!"

As a person of mixed blood, Kaguya Takuya had suffered no small amount of discrimination within the clan. If not for his awakening of a mutated Byakugan bloodline, he likely would have been reduced to nothing more than a servant to the pure-blood Kaguya clan.

This raid relied on his Byakugan to bypass multiple hidden sentinels, and these achievements were enough to secure his footing within the clan.

"Why are you only just arriving?"

The mysterious person appeared quietly from the darkness once more, as if waiting for a long time.

"Hmph, don't waste time. Quickly tell us the secret locations of the Uchiha clan and the hiding places of important figures."

Seeing the contact person, Kaguya Sosuke urged unceremoniously.

The mysterious person pulled out a simple map from their body, on which several locations were marked with red crosses. After tossing the map to Kaguya Sosuke, the mysterious person said lingeringly,

"I hope you can be quick. I can't wait to see the painful expression on Uchiha Tajima's face."

Kaguya Sosuke opened the map. Most of the places marked with red crosses were important locations such as granaries, armories, supply depots, and research institutes, but the largest red cross among them was clearly marked as "Patriarch's Mansion."

"Hahaha, I really wonder what Uchiha Tajima did to you to make you hate him so much."

Seeing the specially marked Patriarch's Mansion, a trace of confusion crossed Kaguya Sosuke's bloodthirsty face.

"None of your concern."

The mysterious person lowered their head, coldly uttering those four words, and then melted back into the darkness without looking back.

"Lads, move out! Next, let's turn things upside down!"

Kaguya Sosuke handed the map to Kaguya Takuya beside him, raised his arms in a rallying cry, and led his dozens of elite warriors charging into the weakly defended Uchiha clan grounds like wolves entering a flock of sheep, beginning their killing spree.

The mysterious person standing in the shadows removed their disguise, their eyes glowing with a dim light.

Watching the storm of blood and gore whipped up by the Kaguya clan, the aged Uchiha Yao pulled out a jar filled with liquid.

Inside soaked a pair of eyes emitting a faint red glow. Stroking the glass, Uchiha Yao murmured softly,

"Gin, I will let you see how the perpetrators receive the punishment they deserve."

On the other side, two lean figures ran through the silent streets of the Uchiha clan grounds. The usual myriad of glowing lights was pitch black at this moment.

"A-Gin, where are you taking me?"

The young girl, hauled along all the way by the boy in a daze, asked disorientedly.

"To my uncle's place. It's definitely safe there."

Uchiha Gin knew that his uncle's house must still have guards protecting it at this time; settling the girl there should be the safest option.

As the two spoke, they arrived in front of an imposing mansion. Before they could step forward and knock on the door, several dark figures blocked their path like phantoms.

"Orders from the Patriarch, unauthorized personnel keep out."

The leading black-clad Uchiha had red light flashing in his eyes, looking at them expressionlessly, his lowered hand resting faintly on the sword at his waist.

"I am Uchiha Gin. You've seen me before."

The black-clad man before him was one of his uncle's personal guards. Uchiha Gin couldn't say they were close, but they had crossed paths a few times.

"The Patriarch has already gone to the front lines."

The black-clad Uchiha scanned Uchiha Gin with a scrutinizing gaze and spoke.

"Ah! He's already left."

Learning that his uncle had rushed to the battlefield, Uchiha Gin slapped his head in annoyance, and then asked,

"Can you let my friend go inside to take refuge?"

Saying this, Uchiha Gin pushed out the bewildered young girl.
