The border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning.
Inside a hidden karst cave, the Konoha ninjas gathered, more or less covered in wounds.
Everyone's face was ashen.
"Damn those Cloud Ninja, striking while we were locked in a decisive battle against the Rock Ninja and Sand Ninja."
"We only have twenty-nine men left, while the enemy has at least a hundred. To make matters worse, they are led by the legendary AB Duo of the Cloud Ninja."
"Those are the Raikage candidates and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki!"
"If we don't retreat now, once they form a perimeter, we'll surely die."
The Konoha ninjas in the cave grew frantic.
The Third Shinobi World War began with the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, prompting the Rock Ninja to seize the opportunity to break through the Kannabi Bridge defense line and launch an assault on Konoha.
The Land of Water launched a sudden offensive, forcing Konoha to fight on three separate fronts simultaneously.
They had assumed their rear was stable, but the Cloud Ninja had also lost their patience, dispatching elite forces to attack from the flank.
In an instant, Konoha was forced to scrape together personnel to open a fourth front.
However, facing the Cloud Ninja, this patchwork team of ninjas was clearly out of their depth.
They had already lost more than half their numbers in the initial skirmish.
Now, the enemy was deliberately spreading word of the AB Duo's presence, intending to win without a fight.
"Has there been any response to our request for reinforcements?"
"A response has arrived. The Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze, is coming personally."
"Lord Minato? Isn't he at the decisive battle at Mount Kikyo? I fear the Cloud Ninja will arrive long before he can make it here."
The excitement on everyone's faces vanished in an instant.
Minato Namikaze had gained widespread fame during the Third Shinobi World War, carving out a formidable reputation.
Unfortunately, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. It would be difficult for them to hold this pass on their own.
"At the speed of the Cloud Ninja, they will arrive in three days. We are no match for them in individual combat, and if you factor in the AB Duo, our defeat is certain," one Konoha ninja said, unable to contain his anxiety.
As his voice fell, all eyes in the cave locked onto the two men leading the group.
This time, the coordination of the fourth front was led by two Jonin dispatched from Danzo's Root.
They were Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fu.
"Check the condition of the wounded first. If they are too severe, we will abandon them all," Yamanaka Fu said in a low voice.
"If the Uchiha clan member assigned to our team had been Body Flicker Shisui, we wouldn't have to retreat."
"That Uchiha Qin Yu is just unlucky. He was severely wounded by an explosive tag array the moment he hit the battlefield. I heard his Sharingan is only a single tomoe."
The noisy discussion drifted in from the entrance of the cave.
Fourteen or fifteen-year-old Qin Yu opened his eyes in confusion.
Looking at the wounded lying around him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Damn, I really did transmigrate.
And I transmigrated into an Uchiha who is destined to be wiped out anyway. Plus, this seems to be the battlefield of the Third Shinobi World War!
Qin Yu was dazed; the memories flooding his mind left him in a state of inexplicable chaos.
A life-or-death battle right from the start!
Isn't this just sending him to his grave?
Moreover, based on the conversation just now, they were planning to abandon the wounded and retreat.
If that happened, he would truly become cannon fodder.
Damn it, I can't be the fastest person to die among the transmigrators. Giving away my life at the start isn't my style.
"Ding! One-Click Max Level Cheat activated successfully. Do you wish to use it immediately?"
"A cheat? One-Click Max Level?"
Qin Yu was stunned!
This happiness came too suddenly!
No!
It should be said that a golden finger is the standard equipment for transmigrators, and this one arrived just in time.
"Activate the One-Click Max Level cheat!" Qin Yu ordered hurriedly.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successful activation. Building database..."
Host: Uchiha Qin Yu Ninja Rank: Chunin Ninjutsu: Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu, Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique, Shadow Clone, Body Flicker Technique, Single Tomoe Sharingan.
Looking at this crude attribute panel, Qin Yu finally understood why the people outside looked at him with such disdain.
The Uchiha clan was full of talented individuals; having this level of strength among them was nothing more than being a dead weight.
"Scan complete. Does the host wish to use 'One-Click Max Level' immediately?"
"Use it immediately." Qin Yu hurriedly issued the command; this was a golden opportunity, and it would be a waste not to use it.
"Ding, Sharingan maxed out!"
"Mangekyo Sharingan successfully awakened. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the hidden abilities: Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo!"
"Ding, Great Fireball Technique maxed out!"
"Ding, Dragon Fire Technique maxed out!"
"Ding, Body Flicker Technique maxed out!"
"Ding, Shadow Clone Technique maxed out. Multiple Shadow Clone activated."
"Ding, Multiple Shadow Clone maxed out."
A series of system notifications flashed through his mind.
Watching this scene, Qin Yu was a bit stunned.
This meant that any ninjutsu Qin Yu came into contact with could be instantly maxed out.
Whether it was Susanoo, Tsukuyomi, or Amaterasu, these were all ultimate killing moves capable of obliterating the heavens, the earth, and everything in between.
"Achievements that others spend decades of bitter training and countless efforts to attain can be maxed out with a single click for me. This cheating is truly f*cking satisfying."
Qin Yu felt the immense ocular power surging within his eyes and couldn't help but laugh.
"Qin Yu, don't move around. Your wounds have only just healed; it won't be good if they tear open again." Shizune, with her black hair, appeared in Qin Yu's field of vision.
She was the only medical ninja assigned to the entire team.
In this battle, death might be a release, but living was a sin.
At the very least, looking at Shizune's sweat-drenched hair and her pale, pretty face, it was clear that her chakra and physical stamina were severely depleted.
Seeing the medical chakra light up in her hands once more, Qin Yu reached out to stop her.
"Rest assured, my body is mostly recovered. You should take a break; if you continue like this, I'm worried you'll exhaust your stamina and pass out," Qin Yu advised.
Shizune stubbornly shook her head, biting her red lips as she said, "Lady Tsunade said that medical ninjas are the final guardians of life on the battlefield. If even I give up, then they will be abandoned as well."
"I am not reconciled to this. If I could be as strong as Lady Tsunade and summon Lady Katsuyu to help heal everyone, they wouldn't have to be abandoned." Shizune's eyes turned red; she knelt on the ground, her hands gripping her pant legs tightly.
"My father and mother have already died in this war. I don't want those who are waiting for their parents to return to be as disappointed as I am."
"I don't want it. Why must they be abandoned when they are clearly still alive? I am not reconciled. I am a medical ninja, yet I can't do anything right now."
Scalding tears fell, shattering against the back of his hand along with her soft sobs.
Her tightly pressed lips were full of unreconciled grievances.
Perhaps, this was the frustration of a healer!
