Nearly Killed Myself, My Pocket World

Year 54 of the Leaf, the "Rookies" were about to enroll in the Ninja Academy. They were excitedly making preparations. At this same moment, in a chaotic void, someone was in a truly miserable state. Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Qing Wu was shriveled and gaunt, his eye sockets deeply sunken.

He looked like a dried corpse, lying there with black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He was motionless, as if he had been dead for a long time, save for the occasional, faint rise and fall of his chest.

"Damn... nearly killed myself."

I don't know how much time had passed, but Qing Wu finally began to slowly regain consciousness. Although he was extremely weak, the first thing out of his mouth was a curse. Oh, if he could curse, that meant he was fine.

"I really courted death this time. I was almost done for—that was total annihilation!"

"I won't dare to do that again."

"But this young master made a huge profit this time, hahaha~"

After receiving the inheritance previously, Qing Wu had returned and impatiently announced he was going into secluded cultivation.

Although Qing Wu had a good temper, the dignity of the Main Branch was deeply ingrained in people's hearts. The servants at home and the guards from the Branch Family quickly prepared supplies for him.

Qing Wu's body had been refined from fragments of the Ten-Tails and the remains of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. Under the power of the Demon Refining Pot, the abilities of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki were basically preserved.

The pure Byakugan of the Ōtsutsuki, the Byakugan's pressure, the power of Yin-Yang Release, levitation, Daikokuten, Sukunabikona, space-time portals, and so on—these had all been mentioned before.

There were also two trump cards brought by the Ten-Tails: the Rinne Sharingan on his forehead and the power of the Tailed Beast Bomb. Unfortunately, because they were only fragments of the Ten-Tails, the inheritance was limited.

He did not fully inherit the ultimate skill, the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but only a Limited Tsukuyomi world that required a medium.

"I think this is the true miracle technique. Creating a world—perhaps it even connects to a parallel world. Or perhaps it creates a mirror world."

Actually, this was truly impressive: a technique to create a parallel world. It was the experimental work of Uchiha Obito from the movie Road to Ninja. It had left Qing Wu absolutely stunned.

"What would happen if I used the Rinne Sharingan as the medium?"

At that moment, a sudden thought occurred to Qing Wu: what would happen if he used the Rinne Sharingan on his forehead, which lacked pupil techniques, as the medium?

Just like the parallel world with Menma created by Uchiha Obito, once this idea sprouted, it could no longer be stopped; it kept swirling around in Qing Wu's mind.

It wasn't that Qing Wu didn't know this attempt would be dangerous, but if he succeeded, he would have a portable world—a portable world! Just thinking about it was tempting!

"Do it. If I die, I die; if I don't, I'll live for ten thousand years."

In the end, Qing Wu gritted his teeth and decided to go for it! Using the Rinne Sharingan without pupil techniques as the medium for the Limited Tsukuyomi world—one had to say, little Qing Wu really knew how to play with fire.

Just like that, he tried to approach the core of the Rinne Sharingan on his forehead bit by bit. Merely attempting to get close had already exhausted a massive amount of his mental energy.

"In this period, I've killed countless brain cells. If this continues, I'm really afraid I'll die from overwork."

For a time, Qing Wu was drenched in sweat, his face pale; this was the result of excessive mental exhaustion! There was no helping it; he was still young. It seemed today's attempt could only end here. And so, he spent his days recovering, attempting, and resting.

A month later, Qing Wu finally touched the core of the Rinne Sharingan. During this time, he had shown his face occasionally so people would know he was still alive. However, Qing Wu also knew his time was running out; the Ninja Academy would be recruiting new students in the second half of the year. Clearly, he had already received his enrollment notice!

Therefore, he had to complete his experiment before the new students enrolled. Otherwise, once he started school, it would be difficult to find such a large amount of time again. Taking a long leave of absence rashly would attract too much attention!

Because he was from the Hyuga Main Branch!

On this day, Qing Wu's consciousness finally arrived at the place he had dreamed of for the past month. A blood-red orb of light! The core of the Rinne Sharingan.

"So this is the thing? I fought with it for a month, and I hadn't even managed to beat it!"

Finally, after spending another week, he successfully connected to the large orb of light and used the divine refining method from the Demon Refining Pot to completely refine and master the Rinne Sharingan. Then, he began to imprint the unique divine ability: Limited Tsukuyomi!

This was even more draining than approaching the core, but fortunately, his mental energy had improved significantly over the previous month. It also benefited from the fact that, having completely refined the Rinne Sharingan, he could use it as easily as moving his own arm.

Of course, this was limited to his mental space; in the outside world, little Qing Wu was still too weak. He probably couldn't even manage to open his eyes, not just because his body was too weak at this moment. Even his chakra couldn't satisfy the requirement; attempting to open his eyes might have drained him into a husk in an instant!

And so, another month of dull and monotonous days passed. Finally, the imprinting was complete; through the divine refining method, he had thoroughly inscribed this divine ability. But there was one last step: to start it up and test it.

To see the ultimate effect!

Unexpectedly, this test caused a huge problem!

At this very moment, it was as if a vacuum cleaner had appeared in his body, sucking away the massive amount of chakra he had generated over the past few years due to his constitution awakening. It then turned to other targets, absorbing his life essence clean. As if that weren't enough, it continued to extract his life origin.

"Damn it... is this going to suck me dry..."

Qing Wu could already feel his vitality constantly draining away. But at this point, he was powerless to stop it. He could only desperately stuff tonics and military rations into his mouth.

He hoped to delay the loss of his life. Alas! These were all in vain; Qing Wu was doing useless work.

For a moment, the fear of death permeated his heart.

"The Immortal Emperor's enterprise is only half-finished, and he is falling midway..."

Qing Wu was already skin and bones, slumped on the ground; he really seemed not far from death! In an instant, hunger and exhaustion surged into his heart.

He struggled to crawl to his last hope: the secret medicine of the Akimichi Clan, even if it was just a curry pill.

After barely swallowing it, sleepiness struck, and Qing Wu could no longer hold on! He passed out completely!

"Can't... sleep..."

A small golden figure floated in the midst of chaos, looking at the surrounding void. The momentum of Qing Wu's spiritual body surged violently. "I didn't expect that opening up an inner world would require so much energy.

If it weren't for that trace of the power of creation from the Demon Refining Pot at the end... I would have really kicked the bucket. That was close..."

With the Rinne Sharingan as a carrier, he hadn't expected to accidentally open up his own world and possess a physical entity. However, this world was extremely weak, as if it could shatter at any moment, due to the lack of origin.

"Forget it, it's good enough that the world is opened. I shouldn't be greedy; it's best to maintain it in its most stable state. Only with a solid foundation can one develop well~ I cannot be greedy for size..."

Qing Wu gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, abandoning the plan to expand the world's scope in favor of further solidifying the existing physical world.

The world was a bit small, with a diameter of 1,296.00 meters—just over a kilometer—failing to meet even the most minuscule base standard for a Constant Sand World.

It was inferior to many spaces, sub-spaces, minor dimensions, secret realms, and half-worlds, yet its status was indeed that of a world.

At its center grew a half-meter-tall sapling—the God Tree.

Since the world was pioneered by Qing Wu, the consciousness of the Heaven-Supporting God Tree was also his own. Much like the root consciousness of Zhong Shan in Life Everlasting, they were two bodies sharing one soul. Was this what they called the "Heavenly Dao"?

"Damn it, who cares if this world is only the size of a fart! I've started off with a world of my own; I ask you, who else can say that? Hahaha..."

(Demon Refining Pot: Pfft~ If I hadn't provided a sliver of world origin, you'd still be dreaming of pioneering a world. Keep dreaming.)
