The Female Samurai of the Land of Iron

Senju Fujima then took Shizuka Uchiha straight back to the Uchiha Clan Compound and walked her to her front door.

"All right!"

"We're home!"

"I have to go now, too. Make sure you behave while I'm away, okay?"

Senju Fujima looked at Shizuka Uchiha with a smile. They had arrived at the Uchiha Clan Compound.

"Mm-hmm, Fujima-kun...!"

Shizuka Uchiha looked at Senju Fujima, her face flushed. She seemed to want to say something, but held back, leaving him to wonder what was on her mind.

"What is it?"

"Go inside!"

"I have to leave now."

Senju Fujima saw that Shizuka Uchiha seemed to have something to say and spoke casually.

"N-no, it's nothing."

"B-be careful on the way."

"I'll be waiting for you at home."

Shizuka Uchiha lowered her head and shook it, speaking softly.

"Mm, I'll be back soon."

Senju Fujima smiled faintly, patted her on the head, then turned and left.

"Fujima-kun."

When Shizuka Uchiha saw Senju Fujima turn to leave, she hurried after him and hugged him tightly.

"Hmm?"

Senju Fujima felt Shizuka Uchiha embrace him, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"There, there. I'll be back soon."

Without turning around, Senju Fujima reached out and patted Shizuka Uchiha's delicate little hands with a smile.

"Mm-hmm."

A deep reluctance flashed in Shizuka Uchiha's eyes. In the end, she let go and stood there watching Senju Fujima leave.

"Fujima-kun, make sure you come back safely."

"Shizuka will be waiting for you at home. You have to come back."

Shizuka Uchiha watched Senju Fujima's figure recede into the distance. Her eyes instantly filled with tears, and two clear streams ran down her cheeks.

"Shizuka, are you done with class?"

Just then, the Third Elder of the Uchiha Clan, Satoshi Uchiha, returned. Seeing Shizuka Uchiha, he asked with a smile.

"Mm. Dad, I'm home."

When Shizuka Uchiha heard her father's voice, she quickly stopped crying and collected herself. Then she turned and bowed to Satoshi Uchiha.

"Heh, let's go inside!"

"Don't worry. Fujima is powerful. There aren't many people in this world who can stop him."

Satoshi Uchiha smiled faintly as he spoke to Shizuka Uchiha.

As the Third Elder of the Uchiha Clan, he naturally knew that Senju Fujima was going away. He had also seen Fujima from a distance as he approached.

Then, seeing Shizuka Uchiha's expression, he had naturally figured some things out.

"I know, Dad."

Shizuka Uchiha had recovered her usual smile and replied with a faint grin.

"Mm-hmm."

Seeing that Shizuka Uchiha had recovered, he said nothing more and headed straight inside.

"Lord Fujima."

The few ninjas guarding the village gate saw Senju Fujima emerge and hurried over to greet him respectfully.

"Mm. Here's my pass. Take a look."

"I need to leave on a mission."

Senju Fujima smiled faintly at the gate guards and took out a scroll.

"Lord Fujima, you're joking. Please, go ahead."

The ninjas wouldn't dare inspect Senju Fujima. They smiled and let him pass.

"Mm, thanks for your effort."

Seeing that they weren't going to inspect him, Senju Fujima nodded, then walked out.

"Heh!"

"I can finally go out and look around. Staying in the village every day is driving me crazy."

"There's no rush to capture a Tailed Beast. I should go out and enjoy myself first."

"I hear the hot springs in the Land of Hot Water are great. Maybe I'll go enjoy them."

After leaving Konoha, Senju Fujima couldn't think of anywhere in particular to go. Everything in this era was unfamiliar to him.

After all, the Naruto world mostly depicted events from decades in the future, and there wasn't much information about the present.

The only thing he knew to do outside the village was visit hot springs. None of the beauties of this era had appeared yet, and he didn't know what beauties there were. He didn't recognize any of them.

"The Land of Iron is just ahead. I'll have to cross it to reach the Land of Hot Water."

"I hear the Land of Iron has excellent forging techniques. I wonder what makes them so impressive."

Senju Fujima saw a town not far ahead and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. He immediately raced toward it, leaving Flying Thunder God Formulas on tree branches and the ground along the way.

"A Konoha Ninja?"

Just as Senju Fujima was about to enter the Land of Iron, a clear, bell-like voice rang out. He couldn't help turning to look in the direction it came from.

"Huh?"

"This girl has such a valiant look. Pretty cool."

Senju Fujima saw a girl not far away. She looked valiant, her left hand resting on her samurai sword.

The woman wore a white samurai outfit with pink stripes. Her long brown hair was tied into a high ponytail, and two pink cherry-blossom hair clips adorned it. Bangs framed her forehead, her eyebrows were slightly thick, and her eyes were light brown. A samurai sword hung at her waist, giving her a spirited air.

"Beautiful, did you need something?"

Seeing the woman's fierce glare, Senju Fujima remained unfazed and smiled faintly.

"Hmph!"

"I've heard Konoha Ninja are strong. I'd like to see for myself. Would you do me the honor of a match?"

"Will you accept my challenge?"

The woman walked up to Senju Fujima, her brows furrowed. She was proud and competitive, and whenever she heard people talk about how powerful Konoha was and how many geniuses it had, she trained even harder.

Now that she saw the Konoha Forehead Protector on Senju Fujima, she wanted to challenge him.

"Challenge me?"

"Beautiful, I don't think I've done anything to offend you."

"Why are you looking at me like that? You seem to have it in for me."

Senju Fujima was a little puzzled. There was a hint of resentment in the way this woman looked at him. He didn't think he knew her, so why was she looking at him like that?

"Hmph, enough talk. Do you dare accept my challenge?"

"Let me see how strong you Konoha Ninja are!"

The woman called out sharply, looking impatient.

"You're a strange woman."

"What did I ever do to you?"

"If you weren't so cute, I'd have already caught you and spanked you."

"Tch."

Senju Fujima looked at the woman in front of him, who seemed to be acting for no reason at all, and curled his lip in disdain.

"So you think you can beat me just like that?"

"Then let me see what you can do!"

"I don't like men who only know how to run their mouths."

The woman raised a delicate eyebrow and looked at Senju Fujima, somewhat annoyed.
