Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Is this Uchiha Mikoto?

Just now, Uchiha Fucheng had examined himself with the edge of a Kunai.

Although he was only 16 years old, the cruel stimulation of the battlefield had already granted him a fully matured Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

In his memories, his older brother, Uchiha Fugaku, only possessed the Three-Tomoe Sharingan as well. He remembered that in the original timeline, Uchiha Fugaku had personally stated that his Mangekyo was awakened during the early stages of the Third Shinobi World War.

Looking at it this way, the gap in strength between the two brothers shouldn't be very large.

Uchiha Fucheng looked up at the distant forest, calculating the distance of the Konoha reinforcements in his mind.

As long as he stayed more than ten kilometers away from the battlefield, he would be able to shake off the main force of the Sand Ninja.

Even if his combat experience wasn't seasoned, as a Jonin, Uchiha Fucheng's Three-Tomoe Sharingan could still crush ordinary Ninja through the superiority of his bloodline.

Before he could pass through the forest, Uchiha Yashiro, whom he had arranged earlier, also sent a corresponding notification.

[Change the fate trajectory of SenjuNawaki] The first reward settlement has begun!

Uchiha Fucheng was overjoyed: "SenjuNawaki's life should be saved."

[First active mission completed, Reward Space officially opened]

He carefully concealed his figure within the tree canopy. Uchiha Fucheng carefully examined the reward contents.

[Reward 1: Uchiha Fucheng's fate dice] [Reward 2: SenjuNawaki's fate dice]

With two rewards, Uchiha Fucheng decided to try consuming [Recognition Points] to roll the dice.

[Currently consumable Recognition Points: 75]

"It seems like there are 2 more." Uchiha Fucheng had some guesses, but he wasn't entirely sure.

According to the system instructions, the minimum consumption per roll was ten points, and the more Recognition Points consumed, the higher the quality of the rewards obtained.

Uchiha Fucheng, out of caution, did not stake everything he had. He chose the base value of 20 [Recognition Points].

A 'ding' sounded in his mind. SenjuNawaki's fate dice rolled rapidly. The dice finally landed on '5'!

A great start. Five points corresponded to talent and bloodline-related rewards.

SenjuNawaki's fate dice turned into a green stream of heat, washing over Uchiha Fucheng's body from head to toe.

When this heat appeared, a humanoid creature covered in white, hidden in an inconspicuous mound in the distance, seemed to sense Uchiha Fucheng's special change.

There was a bloodline resonance echoing between him and the White Zetsu.

Immersed in the changes, Uchiha Fucheng felt as if he were soaking in highly stimulating peppermint floral water.

Completely unaware of the White Zetsu's presence in the distance, he only felt his skin heating up.

Especially his eyes; he felt a comfortable, warm stream of water surrounding them, much like a hot towel pressed against his face.

[Obtained a small amount of Senju Bloodline, increased Chakra by a small amount.]

Uchiha Fucheng nodded in satisfaction. "Senju Bloodline, although it's a small amount, there's no helping it. My Recognition Points are too few. It will be fine to bet more when I have the chance in the future."

Uchiha Fucheng felt the difference in his body. Calculating it, his total Chakra volume had increased by more than a quarter.

A quarter of a Jonin-level total Chakra volume fit the description of 'increased Chakra by a small amount' quite well.

After all, it was the Senju Clan! Although SenjuNawaki was only a Genin, among the youth of the Senju Clan, there were quite a few members with 'tons of Chakra'.

Next was the second one. Uchiha Fucheng hesitated for a moment, then invested 20 Recognition Points.

He rolled the dice—6 points! Uchiha Fucheng's own fate dice vanished instantly, and a special energy orb marked with a lightning symbol appeared in his mind.

If he touched it with his mind, it would only display: 'Follower not bound, cannot be activated'.

Uchiha Fucheng thought to himself, "Forget it. Since I don't know what a follower is for now, I won't dwell on it. What if it's just because I died by electrocution that I got a special reward with a lightning symbol? Maybe it's a 'new account' exclusive reward dropped after rebirth?"

...After obtaining the Senju Bloodline, Uchiha Fucheng's wound healing speed became even faster!

Because of this change, Uchiha Fucheng simply decided not to move further away. Recovering Chakra on the spot was safer.

Soldier Pills, Blood-Replenishing Pills, Vitality Pills... As the second young master of the Uchiha Clan's main lineage, he was not lacking in equipment or medicine.

The only ones who could compare to him in terms of wealth were the major clans like the Senju Clan and the Hyuga Clan.

With medical supplies, his Chakra recovered more than half in less than an hour.

Measured by a Jonin's Chakra volume, this was an extremely fast recovery speed.

Boom! A burst of air-exploding sound came from the distance of the forest.

A battle suddenly broke out in the western direction!

As a ball of fire rose into the air on the west side of the forest, Uchiha Fucheng's pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan eyes spun rapidly.

"It's a Fireball!" Uchiha Fucheng narrowed his eyes.

He quickly judged more information through the color and shape of the distant flames.

"This means other Uchiha clansmen have encountered enemies."

The branches trembled slightly, and Uchiha Fucheng used the Body Flicker Technique to leave the tree trunk, sprinting straight toward the location of the Fire Release.

At the edge of the forest, a black-haired, black-eyed Chunin girl revealed an angry expression.

Leading three KonohaGenin, she was currently confronting the enemy.

ChuninUchiha Mikoto and the three Genin behind her were clearly already at a disadvantage.

And that Fireball just now was used by Uchiha Hezi behind her.

Looking at the confronting Sand Ninja side: 2 Chunin and 4 Genin; the enemy clearly had the numerical advantage.

What made it even trickier for Uchiha Mikoto was that there was a Sand NinjaChunin on the opposite side who could control a large puppet.

This was a Puppet Master unique to the Land of Wind.

Out of caution, Uchiha Mikoto maintained her hand seals, with currents of electricity faintly flickering over her body.

Although not intense, it was constantly stimulating Uchiha Mikoto's reaction speed.

The Puppet Master controlled the Chakra strings with both hands, a savage grin on his face. "All Konoha brats, and there's even an UchihaGenin?"

The two Sand NinjaChunin were not new rookies.

They did not lower their guard just because of their numerical advantage.

The Puppet Master's strategy was to coordinate with his Chunin teammate to take out this KonohaChunin, who was clearly specialized in Lightning Release, first.

But before the Puppet Master could act, the arrogant-looking Sand Ninja on his right suddenly entered a state of decapitation.

The blade entered the flesh, severing the bone in one stroke. With a slight twist along the cervical spine, a clean cross-section of the wound appeared on the Sand NinjaGenin.

A head, filled with terror, was sent flying more than three meters into the air.

Blood with a pungent, fishy smell sprayed and splashed everywhere along with the falling corpse!

The Sand Ninja were shocked! The Puppet Master retreated in panic.

The Puppet Master only had time to see a pair of blood-red Sharingan before losing sight of the opponent.

"Enemy attack!" "So fast!"

Before the other masked Land of WindChunin could find the silhouette, Uchiha Fucheng had already approached him using the Body Flicker Technique.

Bend the knee! Kick! With just one kick, the masked Chunin went flying backward, blood spurting from his mouth and nose.

"It's Konoha reinforcements!" the Sand Ninja shouted.

The Puppet Master blocked in front of himself with two puppets and leaped backward.

On one hand, he wanted to block Uchiha Fucheng's subsequent attacks; on the other hand, a mechanism in the chest of the puppet he controlled opened, firing a large number of poisonous flying needles.

He wanted to use this wide-range, area-of-effect poison attack to ambush Uchiha Fucheng. To pull off a 'first-encounter kill' in a Puppet Master battle.

Snake—Boar—Dog. "Earth Release: Earth Wall!"

Uchiha Fucheng was afraid of being poisoned now too, so out of caution, he directly used Earth Release.

An earthen wall rose from the ground! On the earthen wall, there were five mud-sculpted Ninja Cat heads and the Uchiha fan emblem.

Earth Release: Earth Wall! It blocked Uchiha Mikoto and the others just in time.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Fucheng's figure leaped to a large tree on the other side.

Uchiha Fucheng didn't stop his hands, continuing to weave seals rapidly. Uchiha Mikoto, behind the Earth Wall, was overjoyed. "It's reinforcements! It's Lord Fucheng!"
