The Grudge of the Kidney Removal, Must Be Avenged

Deep in the night, the medical facility in Konoha was brightly lit. Busy medical staff hurried between corridors and wards, striving to save every life.

On a night that should have been peaceful, the atmosphere grew tense due to a sudden catastrophe.

The Uchiha Clan, once one of the proudest groups in Konoha, had just suffered an unprecedented disaster.

The entire clan had been nearly wiped out, with only two survivors left: Uchiha Ruri and Uchiha Sasuke.

Uchiha Ruri lay quietly on a bed in a top-tier Konoha ward, her eyes hollow and dazed.

Her thoughts seemed to traverse the boundaries of time and space, attempting to search for clues within the memories of the original body.

Transmigrating into this strange world only to lose her life to a truck—that alone was enough to leave her feeling shocked and helpless.

Transmigrating onto this timeline is so awkward. The first thing I see is little Sasuke crying his eyes out; it's truly miserable.

The strength of this body is also pathetic. With this level of power, I have no idea how to handle the Fourth Great Ninja War in the future.

This is only Genin-level strength. You want me to take on Itachi Uchiha with one hand while activating a two-tomoe Sharingan?

Ruri sighed helplessly in her heart. She looked around and realized she was in a spacious, bright ward.

The medical equipment beside her emitted a faint buzzing sound, as if narrating the strangeness and alienation of this world.

However, even in this unfamiliar environment, Ruri felt a glimmer of warmth.

The exquisite medical techniques of the ninja medics had healed her wounds one by one, allowing her body to gradually regain its vitality.

Ruri looked down at her body and couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration.

This body was far too frail, looking almost like that of a young girl. Her fair arms were slender and delicate, completely inconsistent with her original perception of a male physique.

But Ruri knew well that complaining about this now was meaningless.

She had to accept this reality and adapt to this new identity and environment as quickly as possible.

Ruri took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil within. She knew she was facing a massive challenge.

Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open gently, and a small figure rushed in.

Ruri looked up to see little Sasuke looking flustered, his eyes filled with deep concern.

"Big Sister Ruri, you're finally awake!" Little Sasuke's voice trembled, as if he were terrified of losing someone important. He ran to the bedside and stared intently at Ruri, afraid to miss any expression on her face.

Ruri felt a warmth in her heart; she could feel little Sasuke's care and reliance on her.

"I'm fine. Your sister recovers quickly, little Sasuke. Don't worry about me." Ruri smiled gently and reached out to pat little Sasuke's head.

Her smile radiated a maternal glow, as if she were using her own way to soothe this wounded child.

Feeling the warmth of Ruri's palm, the unease and fear in Sasuke's heart dissipated significantly.

He looked up at Ruri, his eyes flashing with a resolute light, as if saying: "As long as Big Sister Ruri is okay, I'm not afraid of anything. I will work even harder to deal with that enemy."

This child was so miserable—his whole family dead, with only her left to accompany him.

Ruri sighed softly. She knew she was a transmigrator in this world, a survivor of the Uchiha Clan, and one of the people closest to Uchiha Sasuke.

Hearing Sasuke's low and firm voice, "Big Sister Ruri, I swear, I will become stronger and make that man pay for what he did tonight."

Ruri gripped Sasuke's hand tightly, her eyes flashing with determination. "Sasuke, you're right! Let's get stronger together and make him pay dearly."

Uchiha Ruri also harbored a hidden worry. She knew that the strength of Itachi Uchiha was unfathomable; defeating him would be no easy task.

Moreover, she was still injured, her waist pierced by Itachi's kunai. Although the medical ninjas had treated it, the pain remained persistent.

Hiss... so this is what it feels like to get my kidney gutted... Itachi... you really are something, wiping out your own family with your own hands.

Seeing Ruri in pain, Sasuke panicked. He hurriedly grabbed the medical kit to tend to her wounds.

"It's okay, Sasuke, it's just a minor issue." Ruri squeezed out a "forced" smile, trying to put Sasuke at ease.

However, her pale complexion and furrowed brows could hardly hide the pain she was feeling.

Sasuke looked at Ruri, his heart filled with worry and rage. He knew that the reason Big Sister Ruri was injured was entirely due to the cruel actions of that man—Itachi Uchiha.

Itachi had not only wiped out the clan but had also heartlessly stabbed Big Sister Ruri. Such a deep blood feud could not go unavenged!

Ruri felt Sasuke's anger and resolve. She said in a weak voice, "Sasuke, don't be impulsive for now. Calm down."

Damn it, this kidney-stabbing grudge must be avenged. I have to make Itachi pay!

Sasuke gritted his teeth and nodded. He knew Big Sister Ruri was right; impulsiveness would only lead them into more dangerous situations.

"Big Sister Ruri, you're right. I must calm down and improve my own strength."

"Little Sasuke, tomorrow Big Sister Ruri will take you to practice Fire Style. Let's experience the power of training together!"

Uchiha Ruri spoke with fiery passion, her eyes flashing with determination.

She knew that as the signature ninjutsu of the Uchiha Clan, Fire Style was not only powerful but its training process could also greatly enhance a ninja's physical fitness and willpower.

"Okay!" Sasuke agreed in unison, his eyes full of anticipation and resolve.

He had always longed to become stronger to avenge his family.

And as the secret ninjutsu of the Uchiha Clan, Fire Style was naturally something he had long yearned for.

In the Hokage's residence in Konoha, two heavyweights—the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzō—sat face to face.

The atmosphere between them appeared calm, but in reality, it was rife with undercurrents.

The Third Hokage, hailed as the "Professor of Ninjas," was the bright beacon of Konoha and deeply beloved by the villagers.

Yet at this moment, his face was clouded with worry. He gripped the list of deceased members of the Uchiha Clan tightly in his hand, every name causing him heartache.

He took a deep drag of his pipe and exhaled slowly; the smoke permeated the air, as if his sorrows were spreading along with it.

Danzō sat opposite the Third, his eyes deep and cunning, like an old fox.

He had long been the leader of Root in Konoha, adept at manipulating everything from the shadows. His existence was like the shadow of Konoha itself, inspiring both awe and fear.

"Lord Hokage, the destruction of the Uchiha Clan is an opportunity for us." Danzō broke the silence first, his voice low and powerful, as if every word were steeped in conspiracy.

The Third Hokage frowned slightly, looking at Danzō with a flash of displeasure in his eyes.

He knew Danzō had been plotting something in the dark, but he did not care for such methods. However, as Hokage, he also had to consider the future of Konoha.

"Danzō, I know what you are thinking. But we cannot forget the contributions the Uchiha Clan once made." The Third Hokage said slowly, "Their demise is a loss for our Konoha."

"Lord Hokage, you are too soft-hearted." Danzō sneered, "The Uchiha Clan is already in the past; what we need to do now is seize the future."

The Third Hokage was silent for a moment, then took a deep drag of his pipe and exhaled slowly.

He knew the ideological differences between himself and Danzō were irreconcilable. But he also understood that as Hokage, he had to consider the overall interests of Konoha.

"Danzō, I hope you understand that what Konoha needs is peace and stability." The Third Hokage's voice was firm and powerful, "Not endless strife and conspiracy."

"According to our agreement, it is time for you to disband Root. This was our pact, Danzō."

"Sarutobi, you have always been this way, failing to understand what the true Konoha is. Hmph!"

Danzō stormed out of the office, the door slamming shut behind him with a bang.

Inside the office, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi sat alone, a flash of helplessness crossing his eyes.

Just then, an Anbu member appeared before him and said in a low voice, "Lord Hokage, there is one 14-year-old girl left from the Uchiha Clan. She is currently staying at Konoha Hospital with Sasuke. Do we need to take action to eliminate her?"

The Third glanced down, his gaze falling upon the file on the table regarding Uchiha Ruri.

The file indicated that she was an elite Chunin possessing Lightning, Fire, and Wind chakra natures, and was also a young lady of the Uchiha Clan with a gentle and natural disposition.

The Third took a deep breath; he knew this matter was not simple.

The destruction of the Uchiha Clan had already caused a massive shock to Konoha; if they were to strike at the remaining clansman, it would undoubtedly further exacerbate the village's instability.

He had also made a pact with Itachi Uchiha to protect Sasuke's safety. Hiruzen Sarutobi had not expected such an unexpected development to occur.

The Third pondered for a moment, then slowly looked up and said to the Anbu member, "No, we cannot strike at her. She is just an innocent girl; we have no reason to deprive her of the right to live. Furthermore, I believe she will not pose a threat to Konoha."

The Anbu member nodded. Although he did not fully understand the Third's decision, he knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi, as Hokage, must have his reasons.

He retreated silently, leaving the Third alone in the office to contemplate.

The Third's gaze fell once again upon Ruri's file: an ordinary girl with average strength—that was the data from before she had her cheat.
