Battle

"This time, it is my turn to take the position of captain!"

"I will use the captain's authority to raise my Gene Lock by one level and make full preparations for the team battle against the Central Continent Team."

Even though the Naruto system had long been labeled as a 'low-tier' choice in the original Infinite Flow genre, Uchiha Xiu remained confident in this opportunity.

"Setting aside the various jutsus, just looking at the genetic level, the Sharingan can be combined with Senju cells to create a marvelous reaction, achieving a one-plus-one-is-greater-than-two enhancement effect during the novice period."

"The Byakugan pairs well with the Shikotsumyaku of the Kaguya clan."

"And if I add some Uzumaki bloodline in the middle? Essentially, it is all about reverting to the Otsutsuki ancestry."

"Moreover, the Main God marks the world where the reincarnator originally came from; by paying a small amount of reward points, one can return to extract free resources."

"Playing the mastermind of the Ninja World—I am truly eager for that!"

The Six Paths Tools, the conceptual-level dual Kamui eyes, Kotoamatsukami, the Tenseigan, the Tailed Beasts, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path...

Currently in easy control of the situation and achieving the expected results, Uchiha Xiu maintained his confidence while facing the gazes of the East Sea Team's newbies, saying in a deep voice:

"Everyone, raise your hand if you have seen the Alien series."

The result was not unexpected.

Of the six temporary companions, five raised their hands.

Only the high school girl in the JK sailor uniform once again revealed a look of pure, clear-eyed stupidity.

"Then, to make a long story short."

Glancing at his wristwatch again, the countdown entered two minutes and twenty-nine seconds, and Uchiha Xiu briefly summarized the plot:

"The Nostromo is a commercial towing spacecraft carrying seven crew members and 20 million tons of ore, returning to Earth from Planet Thedus. While passing an asteroid, the ship received a mysterious signal that sounded like a distress call from another vessel, and the computer immediately woke the crew from cryosleep."

"As a result, they brought an Alien on board, and the disaster spread from there..."

It was indeed very brief.

At this moment, seeing the high school girl Aoi Sora still looking blank, the gloomy self-defense officer Miyata Kuraki explained enthusiastically:

"It is a creature in its juvenile stage that resembles a deformed crab. It moves very quickly, ambushes hosts, and then latches onto their faces to complete anesthesia and parasitism."

"After rapid development, it bursts out from the host's chest, becoming a tall, upright black monster with a hard exterior."

"Regardless of the stage, its blood has terrifying corrosive properties," the black man interjected.

With everyone chiming in, the panicked girl finally gained a basic understanding of the situation:

The Alien not only possesses powerful attack capabilities, but its ossified skin acts like a suit of armor, making conventional bullets, electric shocks, and burns have little effect on them.

In other words, you can cause damage, but it is by no means fatal.

Its self-healing ability is extremely strong!

It does not need to breathe; the tubular structures on its back can absorb cosmic dust and radiation while also functioning to regulate body pressure and temperature.

In short, it is very troublesome.

It is a monster that walked out of a nightmare.

"Do not blindly trust the original plot; the Main God will make certain changes based on the situation," Uchiha Xiu said, assuming the posture of a captain.

The Central Continent Team has Chu Tiandao who can read the script, but the East Sea Team and other teams do not.

Blindly betting everything on stereotypical information is no different from seeking death!

When it comes to increasing difficulty, the Main God's great ball of light never disappoints.

Of course, it is not all bad news; the various hidden benefits during the team-building period after the previous generation of the East Sea Team was wiped out count as a major boon...

For instance, the base difficulty of a reincarnation world is determined by the number of reincarnators—seven is the minimum, twenty is the maximum—so this should currently be a low-difficulty novice dungeon.

Later on, there might even be point-farming dungeons to boost the strength of new team members, commonly known as 'forced ripening,' in order to participate in team battles and engage in bloody slaughter with veteran reincarnation squads.

"There is a small arms locker in the corner of the cryosleep chamber. Focus your fire on any Alien other than the Queen, and that should be enough for you to protect yourselves while staying together."

"Finally, good luck."

"I have no intention of being a babysitter; I will take the initiative to go out and exterminate the Aliens."

Just as he finished speaking, a gust of air-conditioning blew in.

The Main God's protective shield had finished its mission!

Uchiha Xiu rushed out of the open hatch, turning into a black shadow to actively hunt the Aliens.

Behind him, his teammates were rushing toward the gun cabinet in a panic.

Whoosh~

The sound of the wind brushed past his ears.

The moment his toes touched the metal wall, chakra gathered in his legs, and his entire body propelled forward more than ten meters.

After a few leaps and bounds, Uchiha Xiu landed in the darkness.

The surrounding large-scale lighting system had been destroyed.

During the hunt for the previous crew, the Xenomorphs had learned that humans relied on vision to navigate, so they deliberately destroyed the lighting in many areas of the ship to effectively hide themselves in the darkness.

The nearest one... was hiding at the opening of a ventilation duct on the left, peeking down from above.

It maintained a straight-line distance of about fifteen meters!

Its two-meter-tall, crouching, arched physique exuded a violent aesthetic, and its spear-like pitch-black tail remained perfectly still, fearing that even the slightest movement would disturb the air.

At this moment, another Drone Xenomorph slowly crawled out from the corner directly ahead, poking its head out with movements that were equally silent to the extreme.

A hunt from two angles.

Feigning sleep like a wolf to lure the enemy?

"Tsk, that trick won't work on me."

In Uchiha Xiu's left and right eye sockets, a single scarlet tomoe rotated gently in each.

While the Byakugan was a small-scale tactical wallhack, the basic insight of the Sharingan was not to be underestimated either.

Swish!

Swish!

With a light flick of his fingers, Uchiha Xiu, who had seen blood in actual combat, threw two kunai in two different directions.

"Detonate."

BOOOM!

BOOOM!

Before the Xenomorphs could react, the two explosions merged into one as the explosive tags attached to the kunai handles took effect.

Light and heat erupted violently, and the inner jaws of the Xenomorphs struck by the kunai shattered instantly.

Their pitch-black, composite silicon shells held up for perhaps a few milliseconds before being torn apart from the inside, and the explosive energy from the tags surged further into the depths of their flesh through their mouths, causing acidic fluids to spray everywhere.

Sizzle~

The metal plates corroded.

Two headless corpses collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, from the ventilation duct where a Xenomorph had previously been lying in ambush, a dense, skittering sound emerged, giving Uchiha Xiu no chance to catch his breath.

Facehuggers.

Snake-Dragon-Hare-Tiger. He was not one of those slow-reacting ninja academy students who would stand there doing nothing when a threat was in their face; he performed the four hand seals with pinpoint accuracy.

--Fire Style: Dragon Fire Jutsu!

He leaped lightly into the air, and a stream of intense fire erupted from his mouth, instantly filling the duct.

"Boom!"

Beyond the high-temperature flames, the added impact force, enough to snap a large tree, slammed against the end of the duct.

Screech!

Under the precise strike, dark green acidic blood splattered, and the crab-like Facehuggers, dragging their long tails, evaporated in the high heat.

No danger could come within half a step of him.

"In the Naruto world, I was timid and weak; in the newbie dungeon, I strike with a heavy fist!"

[Killed Drone Xenomorph *2, obtained 400 reward points]

[Killed Facehugger *15, obtained 300 reward points]

The Main God Watch updated in real-time.

"A pity, no side quest rewards."

His tone was filled with regret.

As he spoke, Uchiha Xiu consumed chakra to maintain his Sharingan's observation of his surroundings while opening his ninja tool pouch to quickly attach explosive tags to the handles of six more kunai.

In the Ninja World, a ninja who could flexibly utilize explosive tags could maximize their power, such as the Fire Style: Explosive Flame Formation used by Hanzo of the Salamander, or the A-rank infinite explosion jutsu invented by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju—the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags.

By utilizing the dynamic vision of his Sharingan, Uchiha Xiu could precisely deliver them into the mouths of the Xenomorphs, letting these space hunters taste a critical hit.

"I've only got ten explosive tags to my name; when I return to the Naruto world, I'll have to use my royalties to buy a larger stockpile."
