Mangekyō Sharingan Awakening

After Shao Nan had eaten and drunk his fill.

He lay back in a massage chair made of Wood Release.

Karin Uzumaki was kneading and massaging his body.

Shao Nan had his eyes closed as he thought.

This round of the Chunin Exams seemed to have been turned upside down by him.

Orochimaru's destruction plan had also fallen through!

In the original story, Orochimaru might have known about the Akatsuki and Nagato's plans.

Thinking Konoha would not be able to withstand them, he had decided to take the chance, while he coveted Sasuke Uchiha, to give Konoha a warning as well.

What he had not expected was that Hiruzen Sarutobi would actually use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal!!!

But now!

That old man Hiruzen Sarutobi had not died either.

Gaara had gone berserk ahead of schedule again.

It felt like there were so many bugs in the original story!

Just like this time.

Gaara was such an important jinchuriki!

There was no way Konoha's intelligence department had no information on him.

Yet they could still let Gaara run wild without doing anything!!!

The higher-ups and Hiruzen Sarutobi were probably plotting something again!

Uchiha Sasuke was now his little brother.

And after gaining power, he probably would not think about defecting either!

It seemed that every plotline had been completely overturned because of him.

Kushina had yet to be revived, so he could not obtain the Six Paths Mode the system offered.

Nor could he fly to the moon and kill Otsutsuki Toneri.

For now, he should fulfill the promise he had made to Karin Uzumaki.

Rescue the Uzumaki clan!!!

Once he got Karin Uzumaki, the system mission would be complete as well.

There was no longer any meaning in these Chunin Exams!

"Karin Uzumaki, Kosuke, let's go!"

Kosuke had just finished packing up the iron pot when he heard Shao Nan.

"Lord Shao Nan, where is our destination!!!"

"The Land of Grass! We're rescuing the Uzumaki clan."

The moment Karin Uzumaki heard that, she was overjoyed.

As if possessed, she planted a sweet kiss on Shao Nan's cheek.

"Brother Shao Nan, you're so good to me!"

Shao Nan stroked Karin Uzumaki's little head.

"You're mine. If I don't treat you well, who will!"

After leaving the Central Tower in the Forest of Death.

It was already evening!

Before heading to the Land of Grass, Shao Nan planned to go home and give some instructions.

After all, Tsunade had not returned yet, and Hinata was still taking the exam.

But when he arrived at the entrance to his home.

Shao Nan gritted his teeth at the sight inside.

The Senju Compound was in utter ruins.

It looked as though it had been through a fierce battle.

Shao Nan's three-tomoe Sharingan emerged on its own without hesitation.

He charged inside without stopping, searching frantically as he shouted:

"Ayame, Chino. Hanabi!!!"

With a clatter.

A vase fell to the floor.

Shao Nan followed the sound.

He saw Ayame, looking weak, struggling to crawl to her feet.

Meanwhile, Shizune had several kunai embedded in her body, her life or death unknown.

Shao Nan rushed over and gathered Ayame into his arms.

He asked sorrowfully, "Honey, who did this!"

"Dear... hurry... save... Chino... and... Hanabi..."

After saying that, Ayame fainted immediately.

Karin Uzumaki and Kosuke had entered by then.

"Brother Shao Nan! That sister lying on the ground has a very weak breath. She needs emergency treatment!"

After saying that, Karin Uzumaki went to Shizune's side and held out her tender arm.

She placed it before Shizune's mouth.

Then, with her other hand, she pried open Shizune's mouth and made her bite down on her arm.

"What is this????"

Suddenly, Kosuke saw the immense chakra on Shao Nan's body leaking out abnormally.

Blackish-purple chakra covered his entire body!

Then, the blackish-purple chakra burst through the roof and shot straight into the sky!

The aura Shao Nan gave off at that moment was like fury erupting from his crown, utterly unstoppable.

Shao Nan raised his head. His scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan glowed blood-red.

Like a beast that had long been asleep, it had awakened.

Shao Nan said quietly and calmly:

"Kosuke, stay here! Protect them!"

Though his voice was not loud, it carried majesty and malice.

Then Shao Nan set down Ayame in his arms and handed her to Karin Uzumaki.

Kosuke dropped to one knee. "Yes, Lord Shao Nan. I swear on my head that I will protect the ladies without fail."

"Wood Release: Sage Mode."

After entering Sage Mode, Shao Nan vanished directly from the house!

After leaving Konoha, Shao Nan sensed Hanabi and Chino's locations through Sage Mode's sensory ability.

They were five thousand meters ahead.

They were rapidly fleeing the Land of Fire.

Heading toward the Land of Hot Water.

"You hurt my women and took my daughter. No matter who you are, I will tear you limb from limb."

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique."

Boom!!!

A mighty and majestic wooden dragon appeared in an instant.

Shao Nan leaped onto it and pursued Chino and Hanabi.

At the same time, Hanabi and Chino had both been kidnapped by several dozen people!

All of them wore Kumogakure forehead protectors and were dressed as Kumogakure shinobi.

But Hanabi was unconscious at the moment.

"Damn it, let Sister Hanabi go!

When my father gets here, you'll die horribly!"

Chino struggled desperately, shouting in her childish voice.

"Our target is the Byakugan. Why did you grab this little runt!"

A Kumogakure jonin asked in confusion.

"This girl is so pretty. I'm taking her back to be my son's child bride!"

"Damn, you really went for it!!!

But you did something unrelated to the mission. You'll definitely be punished when we get back!"

"Even if the Raikage punishes me, I'll accept it! Blame it on this girl being too beautiful!"

At that moment, Chino glared hatefully at those Kumogakure shinobi.

Scarlet flashed through her eyes, which filled with blood as blood began seeping from the corners of both eyes.

A purple horizontal bar appeared in her black pupils.

The Ketsuryūgan awakened.

"My father won't let you get away with this!"

After saying that, Chino used her fingernails to scratch open the skin of the shinobi holding her.

The shinobi winced in pain, then saw unusual purplish-red blood flowing from the scratch.

He looked at Chino and found her staring at him with blood-red eyes.

Frightened, the shinobi threw Chino away.

"Ah!"

Chino fell to the ground and cried out in pain!

"Quick, look at him! What's happening to him!!"

Suddenly, a voice made everyone stop in their tracks.

They stared at the shinobi whose skin Chino had scratched.

They saw him raise a kunai and stab it into his own body.

Then he fell to the ground in agony as abnormal purplish-red blood appeared.

His entire body began swelling rapidly.

Boom!!!

The shinobi exploded outright, blood splattering everywhere.

"That little brat is a monster!"

Everyone present was alarmed and shocked.

The sound of the explosion caused the unconscious Hanabi to open her eyes.

"You... quickly, quickly kill that little brat!"

Hanabi followed the voice and saw a Kumogakure shinobi slowly approaching Chino with a kunai.

"No! Stop."

Hanabi shouted!

Squelch!!!

The sound of a kunai piercing flesh rang out.

Hanabi struggled with all her strength, tears pouring from her eyes.

"Chino! Bastards, I'll kill you all!"

Chino lay in a pool of blood, a kunai still embedded in her body as blood continued to flow.

Chino said weakly, "Daddy... Chino... hurts so much!"

Boom!!!

Rumble!!!!

A giant dragon that could swallow the heavens circled overhead, blotting out the sky.

At the sight, every shinobi's first thought was to run!

Hanabi shouted upward, "Master, Chino, Chino, she..."

[Ding, the host's emotions have undergone intense fluctuations. Special reward: pure white chakra]

[Note: Pure white chakra possesses healing abilities]

Shao Nan seemed not to hear the system prompt and jumped directly down from the sky!

Bang!

The entire earth shook.

Under his Sage Mode markings, Shao Nan appeared exceptionally calm.

The three-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes had long since vanished.

What filled his eyes now was the Mangekyō Sharingan.

At the moment Chino was injured, Shao Nan's three-tomoe Sharingan had evolved.

It had evolved into the Mangekyō Sharingan.

His eyes displayed golden pupils.

Two golden double-pointed kunai with barbed hooks formed a crossed pattern within them, with an ∞ symbol at the center.

The place was eerily strange.

Not a single sound could be heard.

Only the rustling of wind passing through the leaves!

Shao Nan drew closer and closer. Only his footsteps echoed here.

Shao Nan picked Chino up and untied her ropes.

He checked Chino's life force and found that it was rapidly draining away.

Seemingly sensing warmth, Chino struggled to open her eyes.

"Dad, they hit me. Chino hurts so much!!!"

The instant Chino finished speaking, blood mixed with tears flowed from Shao Nan's right eye.

Shao Nan spoke gently and indulgently.

"Be good, sweetheart! When we get home, Daddy will play horsey with you."

Then he directly bit through the blood vessel in his right wrist with his teeth.

A large amount of blood gushed from the severed vessel!

Shao Nan held his wrist before Chino's mouth, releasing pure white chakra.

"Chino, be good! Open your mouth. Ah!"

Like he was coaxing a child, Shao Nan opened his mouth wide!

"Mmm~"

Chino opened her little mouth and gulped down Shao Nan's blood.

Chino's wounds healed at a visible rate.

The kunai embedded in her body were slowly forced out as well.

Then, with a ding, they fell to the ground.

Everyone present seemed to be held hostage by the domineering aura radiating from Shao Nan.

No one dared to disturb Shao Nan.

It was as if the slightest sound would make their lives vanish the very next second.
