It was six in the morning.
Uchiha Shi smashed his Alarm Clock, which had annoyed him for a whole year, even before it could ring.
At this moment, he was already fully equipped.
Headband, Knee Pads, Shuriken Holster strapped to his legs, Gloves, Ankle Wraps, a Scroll Pouch wrapped around his side waist, and a Ninja Tool Pouch at the back of his waist.
He put on a High-Collar Black Robe with the Uchiha Clan Emblem, stood in front of the mirror, flicked his hair, pulled down his eyelids, and cackled:
"Now, I can see your death!"

After indulging in his self-admiration for a moment, at exactly six o'clock, Uchiha Shi jumped out of the window, just in time to see Uchiha Obito doing the same from the next-door window.
"Ci, are you also going on a mission?"
Uchiha Shi nodded coldly and reminded him, "Don't be late again."
"What kind of joke is that? I, Uchiha Obito, am going to become Hokage!"
As he spoke, Uchiha Obito, while patting his chest, accidentally stepped into thin air and fell headfirst from the second-story window.
Uchiha Shi shook his head slightly, thinking to himself, "You really are you, Obito the Chronic Latecomer."
With his foot sprained and head bruised, anyone who didn't know better would think he had just returned from the battlefield in the Land of Rain with a full set of battle injuries.
This trip to the Konoha Hospital would ensure he was at least an hour late when he finally reached Minato's team.
However, Uchiha Shi was already used to such scenes. He didn't pay attention to the guy below and simply left with a smile:
"Obito, let's meet at the Memorial Stone next time, don't forget to burn paper for me."
With that, Uchiha Shi leaped onto the eaves, using the power of his feet to spring up and rush toward the gathering place.
His steps carried an impatient and joyful energy.
Uchiha Obito: ???

In the Uchiha Clan Compound, within a grand mansion.
"That's the situation, Fugaku-senpai." Uchiha Shisui bowed respectfully to the young man in front of him, explaining his purpose.
"Uchiha Shi, huh?" Uchiha Fugaku's expression remained calm, nodding slightly and noting the name.
"I believe he will become a bridge between the clan and the village, Fugaku-senpai. Please keep an eye on my friend when you arrive at the Land of Hot Springs!"
"I am deeply grateful!"
Uchiha Fugaku crossed his arms and spoke calmly:
"Go, Shisui. I will leave for the Land of Hot Springs half a day after Elder Shunato. I will keep an eye on your friend."
"On your side, once you arrive in the Land of Rain, remember to contact your clan members at the camp immediately."
"Also, be cautious of a new organization that has emerged in the Land of Rain."
Uchiha Shisui was taken aback, raising his head slightly, puzzled:
"A new organization?"
Uchiha Fugaku frowned slightly, "An organization called Akatsuki. Their goals are naive, but you can try to make contact."
"After all, the three leaders of that organization are disciples of the Sannin Jiraiya-sama."
"Naturally, they lean toward Konoha."
Uchiha Shisui nodded slightly, pondering for a moment before muttering to himself:
"Akatsuki, huh."

It was eight in the morning.
At the entrance of Konoha.
Two teams, both entirely composed of Uchiha, gathered.
Uchiha Shunato, the elder, glanced at the sky, then scanned the assembled members, and spoke calmly:
"Since everyone is here, the mission begins immediately!"
"Upon reaching the designated location, each team leader will open the mission scroll and explain the task, assigning roles."
"Move out!"
With that, Uchiha Shunato took the lead, gesturing to Uchiha Shi and Uchiha Seiichiro, and they set off from the village.
In this situation, the six members of the two teams had no time for catching up.
Uchiha Shisui smiled at Uchiha Shi, gave a quick fist bump to his chest, and followed the team.
Uchiha Shi looked puzzled.
He shook his head, not paying too much attention.
Although Uchiha Shisui had some misunderstandings about him, the missions they were assigned were completely unrelated.
One was heading to the Land of Rain in the northwest of the Fire Country, while the other was traveling east across the long hills to reach the Land of Hot Springs.
Uchiha Shi didn't believe that Uchiha Shisui, being in the Land of Rain, could prevent him from completing his mission in the Land of Hot Springs.
This time, the biggest risk has been eliminated!
The advantage is on my side!
Uchiha Shi's team set out from Konoha Village, moving at a steady pace toward the Land of Hot Springs.
The speed of a ninja was comparable to a mud truck. It took only one day to travel from Konoha Village across the long hills of the Fire Country to the Land of Hot Springs.
The three members of the team were not talkative, and the journey was silent. After leaving Konoha Village and the prosperous areas of the Fire Country, the scene changed dramatically.
Refugees and displaced people from the Land of Hot Springs gradually filled the view, and the scenery turned from the vibrant green of spring to a bleak gray.
Bare branches, stripped tree trunks, and the helpless gazes of people leaning against them were what Uchiha Shi saw most on his journey.
At this point, they were only halfway through.
There were already numerous signs of ninja activity nearby.
Scattered camping items, surrounding traps, and the occasional gaze from the shadows made the three team members more cautious.
In the prelude to the Third Great Ninja War, the small countries sandwiched between the major powers were the most chaotic areas.
The Hot Springs Shinobi of the Hidden Hot Springs Village could not protect the Land of Hot Springs and could not afford the punishment for mission failure. Many would become rogue ninjas, mixing with the refugees and entering the Fire Country.
Eventually, they would become bandits, listed on mission bounty lists.

As the light on the ground gradually faded, the sun set, and the red sky faded into darkness.
Uchiha Shunato called a halt to the advancing team.
He pulled out the mission scroll, laid it out on a rock, and spoke coldly:
"Everyone, gather around. I will now explain the mission."
Uchiha Shi tensed, knowing the crucial part was coming.
Whether he could achieve the goal of dying immediately after leaving the village would depend on this.
"The objective of this mission is to reach the Land of Hot Springs' Hell Valley and support the Uchiha clan members stationed there."
"What do you think is the greatest danger?"
Facing the two, Uchiha Shunato fell silent for a moment before asking.
Uchiha Seiichiro shrugged, "Apart from the content in the Ninja Survival Rules, the main danger is dealing with the Blood Pool Clan's counterattack."
"Those lunatics are all dangerous."
Uchiha Shi remained silent, nodding in agreement with Seiichiro's view.
Moreover, he knew—
Above the lunatics, there were experts!
The Blood Pool Oni Castle, or rather, Oni Castle En!
This filial son of Itachi's predecessor, using only his own strength and without any external help, went berserk and slaughtered the entire Blood Pool Clan, erasing all members except his daughter from the ninja world.
It was hard to imagine how advanced his Blood Dragon Eye had evolved.
Compared to this, the Blood Pool Chino who appeared in the original story when Sasuke came to the light, was not even qualified to carry his shoes.
This was the true heavyweight!
However, Uchiha Shunato shook his head, sighed, closed his eyes, and said solemnly:
"You are wrong."
"The true danger is not the Blood Pool Clan, but above it!"
"What?" Uchiha Shi was taken aback.
Above the experts, there were even more experts?
