Sasuke Uchiha

Fuyuki City, Miyama Town, Homurahara Academy.

Because a female student went missing during club activities yesterday, the school suspended all club operations today. Students without special circumstances were required to head home as soon as possible.

At the school's main gate, a young man with black hair leaned against a tree, his expression blank.

This was the third year since Sasuke Uchiha had transmigrated into this world. Having already learned everything, he felt that the initial outcome had gone against his expectations, but having lost nearly everything, he had become numb.

For Sasuke, he preferred to treat this world as a new form of training.

However, in this peaceful country, it seemed there was no need for any combat whatsoever.

Sasuke did not dislike this comfortable life.

Sasuke worked part-time at a fish shop in the Miyama Town shopping district. The owner was an elderly man who relied solely on his granddaughter for company.

Ever since arriving in this world, Sasuke had been well cared for by the old man.

This was a world of difference from the ninja world Sasuke had previously inhabited; even with all his power, in modern society, he still felt like a bumpkin from the countryside.

If not for the old man and his granddaughter, Sasuke didn't know how long it would have taken him to integrate into modern life.

Therefore, to show his gratitude, Sasuke had been secretly protecting them all along.

In short, after these nearly three years, Sasuke had completely integrated into the modern city of Fuyuki.

Today, Sasuke had come to Homurahara Academy to pick up the old man's granddaughter after school.

The old man's granddaughter was named Kaoru Sakura, a student in Class 1-B at Homurahara Academy.

Because Kaoru Sakura had relied on her grandfather since she was young, she had been very welcoming to Sasuke when he arrived three years ago, and now she looked at him like an older brother.

Although Sasuke had once had a beloved older brother, this was his first time being an older brother to someone else, so he wanted to fulfill his duties as one.

For instance, today, Kaoru Sakura had wanted Sasuke to accompany her to the large shopping mall in Shinto after school to buy some clothes for the spring.

However, by the time all the students had left, Sasuke still hadn't spotted Kaoru Sakura.

Had something delayed her?

Time ticked by, second by second, and after the school security personnel had left, Sasuke could no longer wait.

Regardless of the reason, Sasuke had to go into the school to find Kaoru Sakura now.

It was already dusk, and the setting sun bled into the pale blue sky like red silk threads.

The deserted campus was quiet and peaceful, but Sasuke frowned slightly at the atmosphere.

Because Sasuke could feel a faint tremor in the air.

Someone was fighting inside the school.

"Ah—"

A miserable scream erupted from the direction of the school's academic building!

That voice—it was Kaoru Sakura!

Sasuke's gaze turned sharp in an instant, his figure moving as swift as a thunderbolt!

In a mere blink, Sasuke's form could no longer be seen in the surroundings!

The moment Sasuke arrived at the scene, he saw Kaoru Sakura lying amidst a pile of scattered books and documents, already in a state of unconsciousness.

A boy and a girl, both wearing school uniforms, were standing beside Kaoru Sakura, and both noticed Sasuke, who had suddenly appeared before them.

These two were students of this academy; the red-haired boy was Shirou Emiya, and the girl with black hair in twin tails was Rin Tohsaka.

Shirou Emiya didn't seem to pose much of a threat, but what drew Sasuke's attention was the Rin Tohsaka standing nearby.

He saw that on Rin Tohsaka's left forearm, something inexplicable resembling a circuit of electrical currents had emerged, emitting a faint blue glow.

It didn't look like something a normal person could possess.

Seeing the hostility in their eyes, Sasuke's originally pitch-black pupils transformed in an instant.

The shape within his irises became a blood-red hexagram superimposed with a triangular pinwheel!

This was the bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan: the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!

Sasuke's blood-red eyes locked onto the pair, and he said coldly:

"What have you done to Kaoru?"

Hearing this, both Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka were slightly stunned.

Especially Rin; upon seeing Sasuke's Sharingan, she subconsciously muttered:

"Mystic Eyes?"

Meanwhile, Shirou explained to Sasuke:

"You've misunderstood! We also just arrived after hearing her scream!"

Seeing that Shirou Emiya had already explained to Sasuke, Rin Tohsaka turned her gaze toward the unconscious Kaoru Sakura on the ground.

The next moment, Rin Tohsaka's brows furrowed instantly, and she snapped at Shirou and Sasuke:

"This girl named Kaoru Sakura has been completely hollowed out from within!"

"Don't you guys know?"

Hearing this, Sasuke stepped forward quickly, using his Sharingan to scan Kaoru Sakura, who lay unconscious on the ground.

Just as Rin Tohsaka had said, the life force within Kaoru Sakura seemed to have been drained away...

In response, Rin Tohsaka leaned down to examine her more closely, then spoke to the two of them:

"Magic... to put it extremely, is life force. The blood currently in her body is simply not enough; if we leave her be, she is headed for certain death."

"I'm afraid it's too late to go to the hospital."

Although Sasuke still possessed the strength of the ninja world, he was not proficient in medical ninjutsu.

To harm even an ordinary girl—once he found that culprit, he would absolutely make that guy pay the price he deserved!

Faced with this situation, Rin Tohsaka did not hesitate, taking a jewel from her pocket:

"However, we should be able to manage with the jewels I have on hand."

As she spoke, Rin Tohsaka activated her Jewel Magecraft, clutching the jewel in one hand and placing it over Kaoru Sakura's heart.

With the activation of the Jewel Magecraft, the jewel in Rin Tohsaka's hand began to emit a dazzling green light.

The Jewel Magecraft took effect quickly, and Kaoru Sakura, who had previously lost consciousness, finally showed some reaction.

Kaoru Sakura coughed with a pained expression, and the expressions of everyone present improved significantly; because of this reaction, at least her life could be saved.

Just as Sasuke was about to thank Rin Tohsaka, Shirou Emiya suddenly sensed a powerful magical energy in the surroundings!

Almost at the same time, a short sword wrapped in chains lunged toward Rin Tohsaka!

"Tohsaka..."

"Watch out!!!"

Because Rin Tohsaka was still treating Kaoru Sakura, she had no time to be distracted.

In response, Shirou Emiya stood in front of Rin Tohsaka without a second thought!

"Clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack—"

A noisy sound, as if bones were growing, echoed around Sasuke!

Just as Shirou Emiya felt he was about to be struck by the chained short sword, Sasuke, who had been standing to the side, said coldly:

"I'll leave Sakura in your care for now."

"I'm going to chase that guy down."

Sasuke, who had been standing in front of the two, was now entirely protected within purple ribs and a spine.

Susanoo.

A power that could only be unlocked by awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan!

The purple, glowing skeletal arm of Sasuke's Susanoo was currently gripping the incoming chained short sword tightly, and in the next moment, it crushed it to pieces!

Sasuke had initially thought he would lose his chakra upon coming to this world, but he hadn't; he could still use ninjutsu.

Although this energy felt different from chakra, it was more or less the same.

And today, Sasuke finally understood completely.

The energy that still allowed him to use these ninjutsu and the Sharingan was actually called magic.

But none of that mattered to Sasuke.

Because right now, Sasuke only wanted to kill the perpetrator who had harmed Kaoru Sakura!

Watching Sasuke unleash his Susanoo, Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka could not help but show expressions of astonishment.

Just as Rin Tohsaka wanted to say something to stop Sasuke, Sasuke, with his Susanoo active, shot off like an arrow released from a bow, rushing toward the forest on the outskirts of the school!
