"The clan leader is dead! The clan leader is dead!"
Panic swept across the battlefield as the Blood Pond Clan's leader fell at the hands of Uchiha Madara. Chaos erupted as the remaining clan members scattered in all directions, desperately trying to escape.
"Father! Don't let them go! We have to avenge Chisato!"
Uchiha Izuna shouted as he continued battling a Blood Pond warrior who refused to retreat. His eyes burned with rage, his strikes fueled by the grief of losing his brother.
Uchiha Tajima, however, remained indifferent. A woman's kindness, he thought coldly. His two sons were undeniably talented, but they were still shackled by such naive notions as brotherhood. Tajima had survived countless battles, clawing his way out of a sea of blood and corpses. To him, such emotions were meaningless.
Yet, he still commanded, "Uchiha! Listen to my orders! Hunt down the Blood Pond Clan and avenge our fallen! Do not let a single one of these despicable vermin escape!"
"Yes!!"
On the other side of the battlefield, the Kaguya Clan clashed fiercely with the Senju.
"Shikotsumyaku—Dance of the Willow!"
Kaguya Itabashi lunged at Senju Butsuma, his elbow sprouting razor-sharp bone spikes. Butsuma reacted swiftly, parrying with his kunai. Sparks flew as the kunai clashed against the Kaguya's reinforced bones, their sheer hardness evident in every impact.
Realizing he couldn't overpower him in close combat, Butsuma switched tactics.
"Earth Release—Rock Collapse!"
He launched an earth-based jutsu, aiming to create distance between them. But Itabashi was a battle-crazed lunatic, unfazed by injury. He powered through the falling debris, using his bloodline ability to shatter the hardened earth with brute force, determined to take Butsuma's life.
"Did you hear that, Kaguya Itabashi?" Butsuma called out. "The Blood Pond Clan's leader, Miya Kido, is dead! There's no reason for us to keep fighting! How about we just call it quits?"
Butsuma hoped to reason with him. Unlike Miya Kido, a genjutsu user, Kaguya Itabashi was a taijutsu specialist. A prolonged battle against him was a death trap. His chakra reserves were already drained from his earlier fight with Tajima—if this dragged on, exhaustion would be his downfall.
"Water Release—Great Exploding Water Wave!"
Senju Tobirama intervened, unleashing a massive surge of water to buy time.
"Shikotsumyaku—Dance of the Camellia!"
Itabashi pulled a bone sword from his arm, striking with deadly precision.
"Father! Let me help!"
Tobirama rushed in to support his father, forcing Itabashi onto the defensive. But instead of retreating, he doubled down.
"Shikotsumyaku—Dance of the Larch!"
A forest of jagged bones erupted from his body, shielding his from their combined attacks. he no longer cared about injuries—only the thrill of battle.
"Damn it! These Kaguya bastards are insane!"
Tobirama, less experienced than his father, let his guard down for a split second. Itabashi capitalized on it, landing a devastating kick to his chest. The impact sent him flying, blood splattering across his face.
"Hahaha! This is it! The scent of blood! The thrill of battle! Let's fight until one of us dies!"
His excitement only grew.
"Shikotsumyaku—Dance of the Clematis: Vine!"
He attacked relentlessly, aiming to impale them both. But Butsuma hesitated for a moment, concerned for Tobirama, and nearly fell into his trap.
Suddenly, a powerful force shook the battlefield.
A massive blue chakra arm shot through the air, seizing Itabashi before he could react.
"W-What the hell kind of jutsu is this?!" He snarled, struggling against the giant grip.
All around them, the battlefield fell silent.
Encased in a towering skeletal figure of pure chakra, Uchiha Madara stood at the center of the chaos. His Susanoo loomed over them, its cold, merciless gaze locked onto Itabashi.
"Kaguya scum, you will die with Chisato!" Madara's voice was low and venomous.
Itabashi thrashed against Susanoo's grip, but there was no escape. Realizing brute force was useless, he gambled everything on his strongest technique.
"Shikotsumyaku—Dance of the Seedling Fern!"
Every ounce of his chakra was poured into the ground, birthing a sprawling forest of bone spikes that shot up in all directions, aiming to pierce Susanoo and Madara himself.
But the legendary defense of Susanoo held strong. The hardened bones barely left cracks on its ethereal armor.
"Shikotsumyaku means nothing before this power," Madara whispered.
With a bone-crushing squeeze, Susanoo's fingers tightened.
A wet, sickening crunch echoed through the battlefield.
Kaguya Itabashi's body was reduced to a crimson mist, blood raining down from Susanoo's grasp.
The Uchiha and Senju warriors stood frozen, stunned by the sheer brutality. But what shook them even more was Madara's eyes.
His Sharingan had changed.
The three tomoe had fused into one, forming a brand-new pattern—beautiful, yet ominous.
The Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Chisato..."
As Susanoo faded, Madara knelt beside his fallen brother. Tears of blood streamed down his face.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the middle of the battlefield.
Su Xiuyu scanned the blood-soaked ground, his expression unreadable. The battlefield was eerily silent.
"Damn... am I too late?" he muttered.
Despite his initial reluctance to intervene, he couldn't stand by after seeing Chisato's tragic state. And now, watching Madara, his heart ached.
"Madara, listen to me," Su Xiuyu said firmly. "Chisato isn't completely dead yet. He's losing blood fast, but there's still a sliver of hope. I don't know medical ninjutsu, but I know someone who does. If we move quickly, we might be able to save him."
Madara's breath hitched.
"Really?! Then take him—now!"
"You can't be serious, Madara!" Uchiha Tajima snapped. "The bodies of our Uchiha clan must never be handed over to outsiders! How do you know he's not lying? Chisato is dead! This stranger is just trying to deceive you!"
His tone was sharp, filled with suspicion.
A ninja's corpse held countless secrets—especially one from a bloodline clan. Letting an outsider handle it was unthinkable.
But Madara wasn't listening.
His Sharingan burned with newfound resolve.
"Chisato is my brother," he said coldly. "And I will do whatever it takes to save him."
---
"Fire Release—Great Fire Annihilation!"
Uchiha Tajima unleashed a massive wave of flames, attempting to force Su Xiuyu back.
"Madara, make a decision! If we delay even a minute longer, Chisato will be beyond saving!" Su Xiuyu's voice was urgent as he looked at Madara, forming a hand seal.
"Earth Release—Earth Flow Wall!"
A massive wall of earth erupted from the ground, separating them from Uchiha Tajima. The structure, carved with a fierce tiger's head, stood firm under Su Xiuyu's chakra control.
Madara clenched his fists, his mind racing, but in the end, he made his choice.
"I believe you. Do everything you can."
The moment Madara gave his approval, Su Xiuyu mentally activated his system.
System Transmission!
In an instant, both he and Chisato vanished from the battlefield.
Madara, watching the strange phenomenon, felt his tense shoulders relax ever so slightly. A spark of hope flickered in his heart—Chisato might still survive.
The massive earthen wall, now devoid of chakra support, began to crumble.
"Damn it, Madara! Do you even realize what you've done? You let an outsider take Chisato's body! Are you trying to betray the Uchiha clan?!" Tajima's voice roared with fury.
"Chisato is not dead! Don't you dare call him a corpse!"
Madara's bloodshot Sharingan blazed with intensity as he shouted back.
Tajima sneered, his gaze filled with disdain. "You're unworthy of the Uchiha name. Do you really think you can challenge me with your current eyes?"
Without hesitation, he unleashed three consecutive fire jutsu in Madara's direction.
Madara attempted to summon Susanoo again, but his body screamed in agony. He could barely keep his eyes open, let alone activate the Mangekyō Sharingan's power. With no other option, he retaliated with his own fire jutsu to counter his father's relentless assault.
The clash of flames raged for moments, but Madara's chakra reserves were nearly depleted. His vision blurred, and his knees buckled beneath him. With a heavy thud, he collapsed onto the wet battlefield.
Seeing this, Uchiha Tajima stepped forward, ready to shatter Madara's legs as punishment for his defiance.
Before he could strike, Uchiha Izuna rushed in, shielding his brother with his own body.
"Father, please! Let my brother go! He's only acting out of grief for Chisato's death!" Izuna pleaded desperately.
Tajima's gaze flickered between his sons. In the end, he held back. For now.
"This isn't over," he muttered coldly. Then, his voice rang out across the battlefield.
"Uchiha! Listen to my command! Wipe out the Kaguya Clan and what remains of the Blood Pond Clan!"
The slaughter began once more.
Meanwhile, Su Xiuyu appeared in a hospital near his home, carrying the dying Chisato in his arms. Without hesitation, he rushed toward the emergency room.
"Doctor! We need help! The patient is losing too much blood!"
The hospital staff sprang into action, pushing Chisato into surgery.
Su Xiuyu stormed in behind them, ignoring hospital protocol. "Doctor, my blood type is the same as his—it's the rare 'panda blood' type. If he doesn't get a transfusion immediately, he won't make it!"
(TL: Panda Blood?)
The lead doctor frowned, about to reprimand Su Xiuyu for barging in. But the urgency in his voice and the dire condition of the patient left no room for delay. A blood test would take too long.
"Prepare for a direct transfusion!"
Su Xiuyu gritted his teeth as his own blood flowed into Chisato's veins. This was a gamble. He had no real way of knowing if their blood was truly compatible. But there was no time for doubts—Chisato was already at death's door.
If this doesn't work, then it's up to fate.
As Su Xiuyu's vision began to blur from blood loss, the emergency team worked relentlessly. The surgeon performed a desperate operation, suturing Chisato's damaged organs while stabilizing his blood pressure with a transfusion and an autologous blood recovery device.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the procedure was over.
Su Xiuyu let out a shaky breath. We made it… just in time.
With Chisato stabilized and transferred to the ICU, Su Xiuyu's real problems were just beginning.
First, he needed to register Chisato's identity to avoid suspicion. Second, he had to erase all traces of their blood samples before someone analyzed them.
Taking out his phone, he quickly dialed a number he had saved before.
"Lei Jiangang? This is Su Xiuyu. I need a favor."
Lei Jiangang, director of the Yangcheng Special Service Bureau, had been looking for an opportunity to get closer to Su Xiuyu. The moment he heard the request, he agreed without hesitation.
"Consider it done," Lei Jiangang assured him.
With the director's influence, the hospital staff was told that Chisato was a classified special operative. His records were modified, and no one questioned his existence further.
Su Xiuyu personally cleaned the operating room, destroyed any leftover blood samples, and ensured there was no traceable DNA. He wasn't taking any chances.
Chisato's and my blood are too unique. If anyone investigates, things will get complicated fast.
Once the task was complete, he returned to the ICU. Watching Chisato's steady breathing, his own nerves finally settled.
This was reckless. I saved Chisato without fully considering the consequences… but I couldn't just let him die.
Su Xiuyu clenched his fists. He had to get stronger.
Just as he was beginning to relax, his system interface suddenly flickered to life.
System Notification: WARNING!
Host has carried a native of the Naruto world through the world barrier.
This action poses unknown dangers due to host's insufficient strength.
Su Xiuyu's eyes darkened.
"So… if I were stronger, this wouldn't be an issue?" he muttered.
The system remained silent, but the implication was clear. The stronger he became, the less dangerous it would be to manipulate the boundaries of worlds.
For now, he had succeeded. But what about next time?
One thing was certain—he couldn't afford to remain weak.
