Naruto:The System's Shadow

After dinner, the thoughtful little maid diligently cleared the table and prepared the bedding, truly embodying the role of a master's considerate little helper.

Before long, after tidying up the bedding, the little maid blushed slightly and said softly, "Master, I'll draw the bathwater and attend to your bathing and relaxation!"

Kaito's room wasn't large, but it was small yet complete, with a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom, lacking nothing.

Chiya Hotaru could be seen going in and out, adding boiling hot water to the tub, busy enough that a faint sweat appeared on her flushed cheeks.

Kaito didn't offer to help. He knew that if he did, this little maid would definitely refuse with a righteous face, saying that it was her duty. If he disregarded her feelings and insisted on helping, the little maid wouldn't say anything on the surface, but she might secretly wipe away tears, feeling that she was useless and couldn't even do a simple task well.

He had only learned this after seeing her secretly crying once.

"Master, the water is ready!"

The little maid ran over, looking at him with her watery eyes.

Kaito smiled slightly, walked to the side of the tub, took off his clothes, and jumped in. Before long, the little maid also followed him in.

"Kaito... Lord Kaito, I... I'll scrub your back!" the little maid said timidly.

"Damn ruling class!" While his mind was filled with such thoughts, Kaito comfortably enjoyed the little maid's service, gradually feeling sleepy.

After taking a bath, Kaito put on a bathrobe and got out of the tub, crawling into the bedding that the little maid had already prepared for him and closing his eyes with satisfaction.

The next morning, Kaito woke up precisely on time. This was a habit he had developed after transmigrating. No matter how late he slept, he would wake up at this time without fail.

"Ah, Lord Kaito, you're awake. Breakfast will be ready soon," the little maid's voice came from the kitchen.

Kaito shook his head and smiled wryly. Ever since the first day after his injuries healed, when he had woken up earlier than this little maid, he had never been able to wake up before her again.

After eating a quick breakfast, he said at the table, "The clan elder gave me a mission yesterday. I'll be gone for a few days. Stay home and don't wander around."

"Then how many days will it be before Lord Kaito returns?"

Kaito considered it. Dealing with a few bandits shouldn't take him too much time. "I should be back in no more than seven days."

After reassuring the little maid and checking his supply of shuriken and kunai, he left the Uchiha compound. On his way out, he ran into some Uchiha clan members of his generation who were doing morning exercises. Seeing him, they quickly came up to greet him, their eyes shining with admiration.

Since that night, his and Madara's prestige had reached its peak among the new generation, and they were regarded as idols and goals by the Uchiha's younger generation.

After dealing with a few children who admired him, Kaito leaped into the air, landing on a distant tree trunk, and quickly began to dash through the trees.

The Uchiha clan's territory was located on the western side of the Land of Fire. Of course, this vast land was not yet called the Land of Fire. There were countless daimyos and generals on this land, leading their armies to kill each other. When they encountered something they couldn't handle, they would hire ninja.

In general, it wasn't just the Land of Fire that was in chaos. Other countries were also in turmoil, and the whole world was in a mess. Ninja were killing each other, and ordinary people were also engaged in war.

The Fujiwara Mine was located to the north of the Uchiha clan's territory, about a few hundred miles away, which wasn't too far for ninja.

While speeding through the trees, he took out a kunai engraved with a formula and studied it carefully. This was the formula he had specially made for the Flying Thunder God Technique, and it was only after exchanging for this technique that he realized his understanding of the Flying Thunder God Technique was somewhat superficial.

The Flying Thunder God Technique was divided into three levels.

The first level was to use these specially made kunai to break through the limitations of space and instantly appear next to the kunai, thus achieving the effect of sudden teleportation. However, the kunai also had a distance limit. Currently, Kaito could teleport to kunai within a range of ten miles at most. Beyond that, he couldn't sense them.

The second level was to be able to inscribe the formula on the opponent's body in the instant of engaging in combat, without being restricted to the kunai. Only after reaching this level could the Flying Thunder God Technique be used to move others along with the user. It could also be used defensively, using the formula to create a barrier, which could teleport attacks released within the barrier to another location. Minato Namikaze and Tobirama Senju had both used this in the original story.

The third level was only reached by Minato Namikaze in the original story, combining shadow clones with the Flying Thunder God Technique to continuously deliver impossible strikes to the opponent. In an instant, the entire space was your formula, and the enemy's life or death was in your control.

Unfortunately, the protagonist was currently only at the first level, but he was also content. After all, he was only five years old and had the system. As long as he was given a few more years to accumulate enough points, he would definitely stand at the peak of the entire ninja world.

Traveling at an extremely fast speed, he arrived at the outer perimeter of the Fujiwara Mine around sunset.

After thinking about it, he decided to first visit the Uchiha clan ninja stationed at the mine, as he was unfamiliar with the situation there.

Because the Fujiwara Mine wasn't too far from the clan territory, Uchiha clan jonin could arrive within a day if something happened. Therefore, the clan hadn't invested too many ninja to guard it, with only one chunin and five genin. The chunin's name was Uchiha Tadashi.

When Kaito met Uchiha Tadashi, the latter was frowning in distress. He was taken aback when he saw Kaito, and after hearing that Kaito was a ninja sent by the clan, he was very puzzled, not understanding what the clan was thinking. He had clearly said that he needed at least a special jonin, so why would they send a child?

There were few ninja here, so no one had specifically come to tell them about Madara's and Kaito's achievements that night. Naturally, they didn't recognize Kaito.

However, Uchiha Tadashi didn't show it and was still very enthusiastic, inviting Kaito to his side and introducing the situation here in detail.

And the moment Kaito stepped into the Fujiwara Mine, in the distance, in the so-called bandit dens, a ninja was reporting to an eight-year-old girl: "Princess, Uchiha Kaito has arrived at the Fujiwara Mine."

The girl smiled gently, a smile that seemed very confident, and said softly, "After putting in so much effort, we've finally lured him out. Let me see just how capable the so-called genius of the Uchiha clan can be."
