The three names clearly marked as eliminated from the data were glaringly obvious. Senju Watama, the son of Senju Butsuma, had also been assassinated, indicating that the war had reached a fever pitch.
However, for Uchiha Gin, whose identity hadn't yet fully transitioned, killing a child under ten years old was something he couldn't accept.
But given the current situation, he could only take it one step at a time.
"The Hagoromo clan has already killed the third young master of the Senju clan, we need to step up our efforts!"
Uchiha Fuuka, seeing the group intently reading, decided to encourage them.
"Is it really okay? To kill such a young child?"
Uchiha Gin, holding back his anger, quietly asked Uchiha Ryoichi beside him, earning a surprised look in return.
"Weren't you the most enthusiastic about this mission? Always rushing forward, even hindering our escape and exposing our location, we fought the Senju clan for a long time before finally breaking free,"
Uchiha Ryoichi asked doubtfully.
Uchiha Gin secretly thought to himself that things were not good. Although he had received the original owner's memories, the short time and the shock had caused him to forget many of the original owner's actions.
Most people wouldn't empathize with a character from a movie they'd seen; they would likely view the story from an outsider's perspective. "
I saw him do it ≠ I did it. "
Thinking this, Uchiha Gin looked embarrassed and pointed to his head, which was still wrapped in bandages.
"I was punched by someone from the Senju clan, my head hit a rock, and my recent memories are distorted. I'm really sorry."
Seeing Uchiha Gin's injury, Uchiha Ryoichi was understanding. After all, given Uchiha Gin's level, it was already a miracle he hadn't been instantly shattered by a powerful punch from a Senju clan member.
Seeing that Uchiha Gin had gotten away with it, he used a break from reviewing the documents to focus on reviewing the original owner's memories again.
However, the memories starting from the original owner's past few years were fragmented, like the choppy playback of an old VCD, making it extremely difficult for him to understand.
After a moment, Uchiha Gin came to his senses, a glint in his eyes, which explained his earlier reckless behavior.
Due to the war, Uchiha Gin lost his parents at the age of eight, and was adopted by Uchiha Tajima, who was not yet the clan leader.
Two years later, Uchiha Tajima became the clan leader, married, and had children, treating Uchiha Gin as his own son.
Uchiha Gin was more like Uchiha Tajima's son than a nephew. With the birth of several of Uchiha Tajima's children, the teenage Uchiha Gin, as the "eldest brother," took on the responsibility of protecting the sons of the clan leader.
But war is cruel; the enemy's blade will not stop swinging because you are a child. On the contrary, anyone who stands in their way, regardless of age or gender, is an enemy.
During a battle, the Uchiha clan's territory was attacked by the enemy. Because Uchiha Tajima had taken all his young warriors to the front lines, leaving only women and children in the territory, Uchiha Gin, as a guard for the clan leader's family, was left behind to protect Tajima's wife and children.
Due to his inferior strength, Gin was defeated in a single exchange. The cruel enemy forcibly pried open his eyelids and brutally slaughtered Tajima's wife and three young children right before his eyes.
"What a piece of trash! He didn't even open his eyes to this. It's good that such a useless piece of trash is still alive,"
the perpetrator laughed, mocking the now ashen-faced Gin.
The enemy brutally slaughtered the entire territory, leaving only the numb, screaming Uchiha Gin alive. After all, no matter how much he grew, he posed no threat to them.
After the enemy left, the soulless Uchiha Gin knelt among the corpses for three days, oblivious to the rotting and stench of the bodies.
Later, when Uchiha Tajima returned and saw the horrific scene, his Sharingan instantly shed two lines of bloody tears.
Fortunately, his eldest son Madara and second son Izuna were of war age, so Uchiha Tajima had taken them with him on this trip, allowing the young boys to escape.
However, Uchiha Tajima didn't pursue the matter further with the sole survivor, Uchiha Gin.
In his view, the trauma had rendered Uchiha Gin useless; his life or death was pointless.
"It makes sense, but these memories feel weird, like they were orchestrated. The tragic endings are too predictable,"
Uchiha Gin complained helplessly. In the original owner's memories, the Uchiha clan did investigate that incident, but they were limited by their methods, and the enemy's methods were clearly concealed.
No traces of escaping techniques were left at the scene, everyone died from external injuries, and the matter ultimately ended without resolution, becoming an unsolved case.
Although the original owner was an eyewitness, he had no knowledge of the enemy's attack methods. He only saw someone pull out a "weapon" from their body to kill, but because it was dark, he couldn't see what the method was.
Uchiha Gin, as a transmigrator, was different. Having read the entire Naruto series, he immediately recognized that the enemy was using his own bones as a weapon.
However, throughout the entire series, the only ones who could use such methods, besides the ancestor Kaguya Otsutsuki sealed on the moon, were the Kaguya clan, who were driven overseas by the Uchiha and Senju clans.
Thinking about this, Uchiha Gin's mind started racing, and he began to speculate on the inside story of the incident.
"Since the culprit is from the Kaguya clan, how did they infiltrate the Uchiha clan's territory? We have a traitor among us! A collaborator like Obito?"
Although he knew the true culprit behind the clan's massacre years ago, Uchiha Gin didn't experience much emotional fluctuation. After all, he wasn't the original Uchiha Gin.
The most important thing right now was to understand his own strength, which was his very survival skill. The original Uchiha Gin was someone who couldn't even defeat Uchiha Madara when he was ten years old and hadn't awakened his Sharingan. He was
very worried about what level of combat power he possessed, and then, based on his memories, he roughly understood the current power hierarchy.
Since the later titles of Upper, Middle, and Lower Ninjas didn't exist yet, he could roughly divide individual combat power into leaders, elders, captains-in-chief, captains, and ordinary combatants.
This can be roughly categorized as follows: Leader - Kage-level, Elder - Pseudo-Kage-level, Captain-Commander - Elite Jonin, Captain - Jonin, Ordinary Combatant - Special Jonin/Chunin, and Miscellaneous - Genin.
The heads of several major clans, such as Uchiha Tajima, Senju Butsuma, Uzumaki Ashina, and Sarutobi Yukimura, should be considered Kage-level fighters.
The second-in-commands and elders of each clan should be at the Pseudo-Kage level, meaning their combat power, after significant investment, can rival Kage-level.
His captain, Uchiha Fuuka, having awakened three tomoe, should be somewhere between Elite Jonin and Jonin. Uchiha Ryoichi and the others, having awakened two tomoe, are roughly Special Jonin or Chunin.
The original owner of this body is in a worse state, remaining unawakened to this day. His taijutsu is mediocre, his swordsmanship is passable but not strong, and his only ninjutsu seems to be the merciful but non-lethal "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique." His only redeeming quality is his shuriken, which has decent accuracy.
Overall rating: Minor character.
