Shiyu dragged his exhausted body toward Kaguya Kanbei one step at a time, but in the end, he collapsed helplessly to the ground.
Kanbei had stopped breathing. Shiyu was the victor of the battle.
Shiyu was only five years old. With his chakra depleted, he had managed to trade blows with a Jonin who possessed a Kekkei Genkai, using ninjutsu and Taijutsu, and ultimately emerged victorious. It was nothing short of a miracle.

The System replied, "There were two reasons. First, the System malfunctioned. Second, the System ran out of energy."
"Malfunctioned? Why?" Shiyu
