Uzumaki Mito Has a Female Knight Dream

Uzumaki Mito Has a Female Knight Dream

The system's activation speed was actually tied to his own strength. That gave Uchiha Gin the motivation to keep moving forward.

It seemed the reason the system had been able to fully load Senju Itama's mission was entirely thanks to the Single Tomoe Sharingan he had accidentally awakened in Tsukuyomi last night.

Awakening the Sharingan had elevated him from cannon-fodder genin to an ordinary genin. There was still a gap between him and the powerful Konoha 12, but he should be able to go Five-Five-Open against Hinata.

"Kehehehe..." Uchiha Gin covered his face with one hand and let out a strange laugh, causing Senju Itama, who had been playing dead behind him, to secretly open one eye.

"What's wrong with you this time?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin turn into one of the Four Maniacs of Laughter, Senju Itama could not hold back his jab, only to receive a sharp knock on the head in return.

With a large bump raised on his head, Senju Itama pursed his lips in grievance and held back his tears.

Having adjusted his mindset, Uchiha Gin looked at the brat and found him not quite as annoying as before. Smiling, he said something that made Senju Itama's spine run cold. "Brat, maybe before long, you'll be reunited with your family."

"In your dreams! Ah... ah..." Senju Itama had clearly misunderstood and began barking helplessly again.

Since the noise this guy was making might attract enemies, Uchiha Gin decisively pulled something out and stuffed it into his mouth.

Smelling the salty, fishy stench of the object in his mouth, Senju Itama took one sniff and immediately fainted on the spot.

"The sea air is really damp. My feet get sweaty after just one day."

Uchiha Gin withdrew his hand in satisfaction and solemnly analyzed the unwashed, foul-smelling sock he had stuffed into Senju Itama's mouth.

"We're about to enter Whirlpool Clan territory. Rein in your Chakra and don't let them sense us."

Uchiha FengHuo, who was leading the way, suddenly warned them.

"Besides being skilled in Sealing Technique, the Whirlpool Clan's sensory abilities are first-rate as well. We're on a mission right now. Don't alert them and provoke the Whirlpool Clan."

"Is there a chance they've already discovered us?" Uchiha Gin muttered from the rear of the group.

"Host has encountered battle. Heartsteel Chest accumulation has begun."

The prompt sounded in his head. Enemies had already appeared nearby.

More than ten kilometers away, a red-haired figure opened his eyes. A hint of chill flickered in his blood-red pupils. "There are five ninjas ahead. Five of them have extremely sinister Chakra, so they may be from the Uchiha Clan. The other one has Chakra brimming with vitality."

The red-haired, red-eyed man spoke to several similarly red-haired men beside him.

"Can you confirm the one brimming with vitality?" a burly, muscular red-haired man asked.

"My Mind's Eye of the Kagura has never been wrong," the red-eyed man replied.

"Then it's them. Move out!"

The muscular red-haired man waved his hand, and the others shot toward Uchiha Gin's group like arrows released from a bowstring.

Other than Uchiha Gin, Uchiha FengHuo and the others, who were still traveling, had not noticed the approaching enemies.

After hearing the prompt, Uchiha Gin deliberately slowed his pace and gradually fell far behind the group.

The other Uchiha in the team had long grown accustomed to Uchiha Gin wandering off, so they paid him no mind. He would catch up when they stopped to rest anyway.

The Uchiha group weaved through the forest. Uchiha FengHuo, who was scouting ahead, suddenly felt as though the Chakra within his body had become obstructed.

Before he could think it over, a sense of danger welled up within him. Years of assassination experience made him stop immediately.

"Ambush!"

Uchiha FengHuo activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan and vigilantly scanned his surroundings. Uchiha Ryoichi and the other two behind him did not dare let down their guard, activating their own Sharingan at once.

At that moment, several red-haired men flashed out from the woods. The leader was the muscular red-haired man from before. He studied Uchiha FengHuo's group and seemed somewhat surprised to see only four of them. "As expected of the Uchiha Clan. You actually noticed the sealing array we set up."

The muscular red-haired man crossed his arms and spoke with a grave expression.

Uchiha FengHuo did not feel honored by the praise. After sizing up the muscular red-haired man, he said, "The Uchiha Clan has never had any conflict with the Whirlpool Clan. Why are you ambushing us for no reason?"

"There should be six of you. Where are the other two?"

The muscular red-haired man did not answer. Instead, a red-haired, red-eyed man beside him asked in return.

Uchiha FengHuo's heart skipped a beat upon hearing that, and he silently thought, It looks like they're after that brat from the Senju Clan.

His gaze then covertly swept toward the rear. When he saw that Uchiha Gin had not caught up yet, anxiety rose in his heart. That brat mustn't come over here.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. We're merely an ordinary four-man squad carrying out a mission. We're currently on our way to complete it."

Uchiha FengHuo spoke while signaling the three people behind him with one hand.

"An ordinary squad? Would an ordinary squad need the famous Divine Stealth FengHuo to lead it? What mission could possibly require that?"

The muscular red-haired man revealed Uchiha FengHuo's identity and asked bluntly.

"Attack!"

Seeing that his identity had already been exposed, the group that had just exchanged information through hand signals sprang into action at once. Their scarlet Sharingan opened as they charged at the Whirlpool Clan members. The battle was about to erupt.

In the rear, Uchiha Gin, who had been separated from the group for quite some time, also encountered his own "enemy." Looking at the red-haired figure that suddenly emerged from the woods ahead, the prompt in his mind sounded once again. "Host has encountered battle. Heartsteel Chest accumulation has begun."

So you really won't even give me a chance to rack up a losing streak?

Uzumaki Mito, the youngest daughter of Uzumaki Ashina, the Clan Leader of the Uzumaki Clan, had displayed exceptional talent in Sealing Technique from a young age. As a daughter born to him late in life, she had been cherished like a pearl in Uzumaki Ashina's palm and spoiled endlessly.

However, when the pampered Uzumaki Mito learned that her father had promised her in marriage to the distant Senju Clan, she became furious.

In a fit of anger, she secretly took several of her father's treasures and slipped aboard a cargo ship leaving Whirlpool Country, beginning her journey to flee from marriage.

"Starting today, I'm going to become a female knight ronin who upholds justice!"

After listening aboard the ship to a storyteller from the Land of Iron recount several tales of righteous ronin heroes, the innocent and passionate ten-year-old girl began her journey as a female knight.

First, at the docks, she used taijutsu to beat down a group of local thugs who preyed upon the common people. The watching crowd cheered repeatedly, and Uzumaki Mito, who was living out her Female Knight Dream, was greatly pleased.

Next, she used Sealing Technique to deal with several rogue ninja who relied on ninjutsu to oppress respectable women. After sealing away all their Chakra, she threw them into the mountains to mine ore and reform themselves.

After several such exploits, she gained quite a reputation, and the name Red-Haired Heroine spread far and wide.

"Another peaceful day!"

The Baozi-faced girl with a Bun Hairstyle ate candy given to her by an old lady by the roadside as she patrolled the Small Town under her protection with a satisfied expression.

Calling it a Small Town was an exaggeration. It was really just a small fishing village near the Coastline. What had once been a rather chaotic place had become peaceful and stable after the girl's cleanup.

"I remember that storyteller saying a hero should roam the world and make the four seas their home."

Rubbing her Little Head, Uzumaki Mito decided to bid farewell to her first starter village and venture toward a higher, farther world. "There are still so many people waiting for me to save them!"

Uzumaki Mito clenched her fair, tender little fist and gave herself a boost.

Having made up her mind, Uzumaki Mito bid farewell to the villagers of the small fishing village. Though reluctant to see her go, they still waved her off. Before she left, they even prepared a large bundle of snacks and dried provisions for her.

As she headed into the forest deeper along the Coastline, Uzumaki Mito walked while stuffing her face nonstop. Then she suddenly saw a black-haired, curly-haired man carrying a child on his back.

She noticed that the man had not only tied up the child on his back, but had also knocked him on the head. Even worse, he then pulled out a stinky sock and stuffed it into the child's mouth. This must be the Trafficker from the stories. But didn't Brother say traffickers were all those Black Bro types in the north? Puzzled, Uzumaki Mito secretly followed him.

After following him for some time, Uzumaki Mito saw the black-haired, curly-haired man slow down. She quietly crept closer, preparing to make a dramatic entrance and give this evil Trafficker a huge shock.

Thus came the following scene: a red-haired girl with a Bun Hairstyle carrying a large bundle on her back, her cheeks stuffed full.

In her left hand was a half-eaten salted dried fish, while her right arm held half a Clay Oven Roll. With her mouth full of food, her words came out unclear.

"Cursed Trafficker, put down that boy! (`^)"
