"What do you mean by 'I'm not that easy'?"
Mito furrowed her brows in confusion, feeling like something wasn't quite right.
She was young and didn't quite understand Kyosuke's teasing words, but the other members of the clan certainly understood their meaning.
"How dare you speak to the princess like that!"
"You're not leaving here alive today!"
"Princess, let us capture him together."
Mito stopped the excited clan members. Today, she was determined to take him down herself.
That way, the morale of the clan would soar, benefiting their upcoming battle against the Uchiha.
"Uchiha Demon-Faced Ashura, I've been wanting to meet you."
Boom!
With a simple gesture, the ground beneath her feet immediately exploded.
The overwhelming chakra fluctuations made Kyosuke frown, thinking to himself, "The sealing techniques are truly excellent."
But unfortunately, if she couldn't hit the target, it was all in vain.
"Compared to the chakra, your control is still far from sufficient."
Evading skillfully, Kyosuke continued to taunt her verbally.
The girl with the bun hairstyle was indeed powerful, but the problem was she focused too much on enhancing her power while neglecting control.
Oh, or should I say, it wasn't that she didn't want to control it; she simply couldn't handle such a level of power.
Relying on brute strength to defeat him—her thoughts were too naive.
Her consecutive attacks were easily evaded by Kyosuke, and Mito realized that she might not be able to land a single blow on him.
Subconsciously, she began to form hand seals, preparing to unleash a powerful jutsu to force him into direct confrontation.
But before she could act, her expression darkened, and she stopped.
There was no way she could wipe out her clan members with her attack, after all.
Just as she hesitated, Kyosuke suddenly blurred into motion, and his blade was at the girl's neck.
"You lost."
Kyosuke looked at the furious Mito in silence, pondering whether to abduct her.
If he played it right, he could force the Uzumaki Clan into a ceasefire, or at the very least, make that old man wary of him.
If it came to a full-on confrontation, Kyosuke knew that the Uchiha would most likely not stand a chance.
This was a fact acknowledged by Commander Hiroki himself, who had been repeatedly defeated by the Uzumaki Clan's leader, Mito's father, in previous battles.
If not for the Uzumaki Clan holding back, refusing to utterly destroy the Uchiha, the entire front line would have collapsed by now.
With Kyosuke's arrival, he certainly couldn't allow the initiative to slip into their hands.
Whether to fight or not, and how to fight, only he could decide.
Thinking about this, Kyosuke gently placed his finger on Mito's neck, whispering, "Sleep, my beautiful princess."
Before losing consciousness, Mito was still filled with confusion, seemingly unable to believe that he would actually attack her.
Did he think he could escape just because she was a hostage?
How naive. In front of her father, all his status and privileges would mean nothing.
Kyosuke caught the falling Mito without a second glance at the Uzumaki Clan members who were screaming in anger.
Instead, he turned his gaze toward the largest tent in the camp.
There, a terrifying presence had already locked onto him. Kyosuke knew that the leader of the Uzumaki Clan, Mito's father, was definitely inside.
"Still refusing to show yourself, huh? You sure have a big ego."
Through the vast distance, Kyosuke could almost feel the disdain emanating from the Uzumaki Clan leader.
It was the type of arrogance unique to older generations, and many of the older leaders, including Uchiha Tajima, carried that same attitude, looking down on the younger generation.
For this, Kyosuke didn't feel much. As for Tajima, he was nothing to him, but the Whirlpool Clan leader, Mito's father, would soon pay the price for his arrogance.
In the original storyline, the fall of the Whirlpool Country seemed to confirm Kyosuke's thoughts.
Choosing to ally with the Senju, yet constantly hesitant during battle—did he really think that the Senju didn't notice?
Now, the current situation was chaotic, but everything would eventually settle. The future of the world was certain, and it was time to settle old scores with the Uzumaki Clan.
Kyosuke suspected that the Uzumaki Clan leader would never imagine that, in the future, the Uchiha and Senju would form an alliance.
In fact, he himself would become an outsider.
Various forces were watching, and with the Black Zetsu keep plotting against them, the survival of the Uzumaki Clan was the greatest anomaly.
"Foolish clan."
Kyosuke sneered as he began forming hand seals.
Suddenly, a figure rushed out as if sensing a disturbance in the space-time continuum.
The presence that flooded Kyosuke's senses felt as though the entire world was collapsing upon him.
It was the leader of the Uzumaki Clan, Mito's father—an overwhelmingly terrifying presence.
"Such terrifying power."
Kyosuke quietly marveled, still waving at the approaching figure.
At the next moment, both Kyosuke and Mito vanished from their original positions.
The Uzumaki Clan leader, Mito's father, stood in place, his smile finally disappearing as he realized he had been tricked.
He admitted that he had underestimated his opponent.
The enemy had infiltrated the Uzumaki Clan's base and had complete confidence in their ability to leave unscathed.
How foolish of him to have underestimated the intruder.
By the time he felt the disturbance in space-time, it was already too late to save his daughter.
Now the question was, if the Uchiha had taken Mito hostage, forcing the Whirlpool Clan to surrender, how should he respond?
His daughter's life and the victory of the battle were the questions weighing heavily on his mind.

Uchiha Clan Camp
When Mito woke up, she realized she was already engraved with sealing techniques.
She could move, but her chakra was completely sealed off, unable to gather.
All around her, the fan symbols were clear indicators—this was the Uchiha camp.
"I've been captured."
The girl stood up in disbelief, unable to understand how Kyosuke had managed to abduct her from the camp.
After some thought, the only plausible explanation was that the bastard had used her as leverage, forcing even her father and the rest of the clan into a precarious position.
She couldn't help but feel how ridiculous the situation was.
After struggling for a while and realizing she couldn't break the seal, she finally stopped.
"If I had known this would happen, I would've tried harder to learn sealing techniques from Father."
Mito couldn't help but regret her lack of preparation.
As she thought, she heard footsteps approaching from outside.
The girl with the bun hairstyle closed her eyes, pretending to sleep, hoping for a chance to subdue the intruders with her taijutsu.
Just as her eyes closed, she felt two people entering the room.
A familiar voice rang in her ear.
"Maya, I'm leaving her to you for now."
"Nobody, except for me, is allowed to take her. Not even Elder Hiroki."
The voice was irritating, reminding her of the shame of being captured.
Does this bastard really think she belongs to him and that no one else can take her away?
Nearby, a slightly cold female voice responded: "Yes, but I have a question."
"What is it?"
"Does Kyosuke-sama intend to keep her? Should I train her a little?"
"Enough, stop talking," Kyosuke said, his voice tinged with annoyance. He longed for the days when Maya used to be silent.
He waved his hand, sending his subordinate away.
Turning to look at Mito, who was pretending to sleep, he slowly extended his hands.
