It's normal to get a kaleidoscope as a first deposit of six yuan, right?

Seeing that Zhixue's gaze was focused on him, Urashiki instantly switched to his blue Rinnegan and dodged the deadly curse flames.

The crimson flames that had been fired into the void burned on the ground, hissing sparks drifting into the air along with the black smoke, resembling a demon's face with a wicked grin.

Swish!

A black rod suddenly appeared and pierced through Zhixue's left shoulder. The crackling sparks caused a burst of blood to appear on Zhixue's shoulder, but relying on the remaining lightning, Zhixue also managed to teleport behind Urashiki and cleave a crack more than three meters long in the space in front of her.

Pfft!

"Uhhhhhhhh!"

A deep gash, revealing bone, appeared on Urashiki's arm, and the chakra that splattered out mingled with traces of black blood in the air.

Even though Urashiki used the ability to rewind and experimented hundreds of times, he still couldn't escape being slashed. This yellow flash, combined with the ability to tear space, was something even the Origami Crane's Instantaneous Movement couldn't avoid; it was practically a bug.

Seeing that Shiki was also in bad shape, Urashiki, who was clutching his arm, chuckled. Then, a series of black runes, like a curse mark, were imprinted on his hand, connecting with the Karma seal and instantly healing his injury.

"Kid, you've used up all your trump cards fighting in this space, haven't you? Now it's my turn!"

"Oh? You think getting a tattoo will make you useful? Besides, I have my own trump cards." Zhi Xue pulled out the black rod dripping blood from her shoulder, then gathered the surrounding natural energy, and bluish-white chakra patterns appeared on her body. At the same time, the light purple eyeshadow and the small dragon horns that appeared on her head made Urashiki's face turn ugly.

"You little brat, your abilities are really... endless."

Chapter 193, Fainting

"Report: A landslide has occurred in the western mountains, suspected to be caused by a large-scale detonation of explosives. We have not yet been able to make contact."

Upon hearing the report from the sensory ninja, the leader of the Kirigakure Jonin also turned pale.

"So those envious people really did figure out our plan? How despicable of them to use a feigned retreat to ambush us? How hateful..."

The Jonin slammed his fist on the table and then ordered a full-scale assault on the main battlefield to support the raiding force. He wanted to see if they could break through the enemy's defenses. Even if they couldn't destroy the enemy's medical system, they absolutely had to tear a piece of flesh off them and let them know that Kirigakure was not to be trifled with!

……

On the battlefield, the acrid smell of gunpowder filled the air. Breaking through the spatial passage, the Hidden Mist Village's raiding force unfortunately struck a vital spot, and most of the ninjas died in that brief moment.

A ninja from Kirigakure crawled out from the pile of corpses, and looked at the scene of dismembered limbs and broken bones around him with a look of horror.

"No...no, I want to live! I want to go home! I want to go home!" The Hidden Mist ninja scrambled to his feet from around the corpse and ran in the opposite direction, but before he could take more than a few steps, a fishhook pierced his chest.

Urashiki, who was flying in the air, swallowed the blue chakra. He looked at Shiki chasing after him from behind, covered his body with the Karma seal on his hand, and his left eye transformed into a special pattern with four golden rays extending outward.

Boom boom boom!

Thirteen enormous black rods fell from the sky, each as large as a tree that had grown for thousands of years, and as tall as a four- or five-story building.

"Immortal Technique: Inorganic Rebirth!" A blue light surged from the ground, and the earth's crust, imbued with thread magic, seemed to become as viscous as flowing water, pushing the thirteen black rods to both sides.

"Immortal Technique: Fire Dragon Flame Bomb!"

Seeing the fire dragon roaring towards him from afar, Urashiki raised his hands in front of him, and the enormous repulsive force pushed the surging flames to both sides.

"Kid, even Sage Mode-enhanced ninjutsu is useless against me. Continuing to fight like this will only lead to nothing. How about we each take a step back and fight another day?"

Urashiki thought that the current timeline was no longer safe. Rather than continuing to oppose this guy, he might as well hide for now and wait for Kame to recover his chakra before going to a more distant era.

Even if you can't kill the female demon, you can eliminate her father, mother, or ancestors from the Warring States period. Although it takes a long time, it is the safest way.

"I won't let the tiger return to the mountain. Let's settle this today..." Zhi Xue's voice came from behind Pu Shi, which made him feel a chill run down his spine.

boom!

With a flash of sword light, Urashi blocked the Kusanagi sword's strike with his fishing rod, then transformed into a thousand paper cranes and flew dozens of meters away before regrouping.

boom!

Zhi Xue held the black stick that was poking her eye in her hand.

After activating the Rinnegan, dynamic vision did not weaken; on the contrary, it became more acute. If one focused their mental energy on what was in front of them, they could observe the trajectory of the shrinking black rod.

Just as Zhixue was about to rush up and fight Urashi again, she suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Wait, where's the fish basket that this fisherman always carries?

Behind Zhixue, a red light suddenly appeared from the alternate dimension of Daikokuten. By the time Zhixue reacted, a thin white light had already passed through Zhixue's chest and pierced out of Susanoo.

Seeing Zhixue lying helplessly on the ground, bleeding profusely, Urashiki revealed a sinister smile.

"Feels good to be hit by Dust Release, doesn't it? I've already opened a gash in the artery of your heart, and mixed it with the corrosive power of Bloodline Limit. Even with the strongest regenerative ability, you're probably doomed... Wait, is that a Wood Clone?"

Seeing Shiyuki turn into a wooden statue on the ground, alarm bells rang loudly in Urashiki's heart.

Suddenly, patches of green trees sprouted from the ground and wrapped around Urashiki, trapping him within them. As Urashiki felt his chakra being continuously drained, the Rinnegan in his eyes flashed. But soon, Yomotsu Hirasaka was blocked by the surging stream of trees, and several poisonous thorns were stuck in his body.

The endless forest surged up from all around, and Urashiki struggled in the sea of ​​trees. He finally managed to escape by using the Shona Higuna to shrink himself to the size of an ant. However, due to the repeated use of his eye techniques, his mind and body were exhausted, and he would probably need to rest for a while.

The Uchiha support forces, who were ahead of the curve from the outside, frowned as they looked at the vast forest that had suddenly sprung up around them.

"Where did this forest come from?"

"I don't know. It doesn't seem like an illusion. I don't know what Kirigakure is up to."

While the Uchiha forces were still searching the area, at the far end of their eastern exploration, they suddenly discovered a Kirigakure force of nearly a hundred men. However, they were all lying on the ground, and their bodies seemed to be intact, not like they had been through a major battle.

However, adhering to the policy of annihilating the enemy, several Uchiha clan members threw out explosive tags, killing a few of them. After finding that the enemy was not making any moves, they went forward and captured the entire unit that had fainted due to chakra depletion.

On the seaside, Urashiki stumbled onto the beach, swallowing the chakra he had collected from the fish basket. Feeling the intense pain from pollen poisoning, Urashiki's face turned pale.

“You despicable creature, how could you use such a treacherous strategy to ambush me… Once I recover from my injuries, I will definitely take revenge on you for what you did in the past…” Urashiki clenched his fist and said, but just as he was about to jump into the sea to escape, a Kusanagi sword flashing with lightning suddenly pierced through his chest.

Pfft!

"Uh..." Urashiki, his body stiff and numb, turned his head to look at Sasuke, who was dressed in black, and his face also turned terrified.

"You...shouldn't you be watching the little one? How did you end up here?"

……

Inside the forest…

The wooden statue that had been attacked by Urashiki suddenly developed a crack.

Feeling alternating sensations of heat and cold throughout her body, Zhixue detached herself from the wooden statue.

In fact, Urashiki successfully launched a sneak attack on his true form using Daikokuten, but because he couldn't sense the chakra, Shiyuki deceived him with an illusion.

Although the external injuries had healed, the damage to her heart did not seem to be getting better. Zhixue felt as if her chest cavity was filled with blood gushing from her heart.

"Pfft..." Zhi Xue spat out a mouthful of blood, wiped her mouth, and looked at the conspicuous red. She could only remember hearing a series of hurried footsteps before she lost consciousness.

"Nisan...is it...is it an illusion?" Looking at the blurred world before her, Zhixue felt drowsy and then fell asleep due to her injuries.

Chapter 194, Recuperation in the Medical Department

"You're Zhixue! No, you should still be in school in the village right now!" After Zhishui found Zhixue lying in a pool of blood in the forest, he rushed over, but found that she seemed to be a little different from the sister he remembered, so he spoke up.

"N-Nii-san..." Zhi Xue murmured one last time, looking at the blurry figure in front of her, before losing consciousness.

When Zhixue uttered the word "Nisan," a string in Zhishui's heart seemed to be touched, and a sharp pain shot through his eyes.

"Never mind! I don't know why I feel something's wrong, but you're my sister, and I won't abandon you!" Shisui picked up Shisui, who was lying on the ground covered in blood, and then used the Body Flicker Technique to leap over layers of jungle and run at top speed toward the medical department.

"Hurry, faster!" Shisui carried Shisui out of the forest, running towards the medical department amidst the puzzled gazes of the Uchiha ninjas who were cleaning up the battlefield.

"Who is that Jonin Shisui carrying? He's dressed so strangely."

"I don't know. She was running so fast, it must be something very important to her. But I have to say, even though there was some blood on her, that girl was really pretty, though she looked a bit too young."

Zhishui carried Zhixue on his back and quickly made his way through the area, apologizing all the way as he carried Zhixue to the nearest place where she received treatment for a period of time.

Meanwhile, Fugaku Uchiha continued to lead his many ninjas to the front lines to fight against the ninjas of Kirigakure.

"How are you? Is Zhixue alright?"

"Jonin Shisui, your sister's body is acting strangely. We can't sense anything wrong with her internal organs, and even the Sharingan can't see through it. However, judging from the external symptoms, it's probably just a temporary loss of blood that caused her to fall into a coma."

"Ah, maybe she's too young, so we can't detect any chakra. But I didn't expect that Zhixue would grow so tall in just one year..."

Seeing that Shisui didn't seem to have figured out the problem, the doctor broke out in a cold sweat. However, because he was still very busy, he didn't say anything more and left Shisui's tent after saying goodbye.

Anyway, this is Uchiha clan territory, and with so many Sharingan eyes watching over us, no matter what the problem is, it can't be hidden from them.

Zhi Xue vaguely heard the conversations around her and woke up from her bed. She then looked around at the tents with some confusion.

Where am I?

After seeing that Zhixue had woken up, Zhishui went forward and hugged her.

"Thank goodness, Zhixue, I'm so relieved you're alright. I was so worried when I saw you lying in a pool of blood!"

Feeling Shisui's embrace, Shisui's mind went blank for a moment. She then pushed him away and her pupils shrank when she saw the slightly immature Shisui in front of her.

Holy crap, he'd been discovered by his older brother in the past! And he'd even been taken to the Third Shinobi World War military camp—this was absolutely terrible news! No, she had to find an excuse to escape!

Feeling himself being pushed away, Shisui felt as if a piece of his heart had broken.

So it's because we've been apart for so long that Zhi Xue has become distant from me? She won't even let me hug her anymore… Before, Zhi Xue would cling to me every day, chasing after me and calling me "Nii-san"…

"Ugh…"

Looking at Zhishui leaning against the outside, basking in the sunlight and trying to blow away the melancholy in her heart, Zhixue scratched her head, and then a strange sense of guilt welled up in her heart.

Why does he have the air of a lonely, isolated young man at heart?

As Zhixue emerged from the medical tent, she looked at the numerous Konoha ninjas stationed there and the tents and campfires that had been set up, and she was somewhat surprised.

It seems that leaving without causing trouble is not so easy.

"This is a military outpost of Konoha stationed on the eastern border to fight against Kirigakure. But don't worry, this is the rear, it's very safe." Thinking that Shiyuki was afraid because she had come to a new environment, Shisui walked to her side and explained.

"Is that so..." Zhi Xue understood, and then took a step to walk outside.

"Wait, Zhixue, this is a military base, we can't mess around here..." Zhishui grabbed Zhixue's slender wrist and seemed to want to say something, but when he saw Zhixue suddenly clutching her chest and looking pained, Zhishui's pupils widened in shock.

10 minutes later...

The medical ninja with a strange expression pulled Shisui out of Shiyuki's ward.

"Yulu, how are you? Is my sister alright?"

"It's alright, but her body is strange. When chakra is probed in, it's like falling into an abyss with no response at all. This is the first time I've encountered this. Although she seems fine from the outside, I still suggest observing her for a while longer."

Seeing the medical ninja about to leave, Shisui wanted to persuade them to stay, but he quickly declined because many wounded people had been brought to the front lines and needed treatment.
