Night of the Clan Massacre—Is Crane Hermit School Dumpling Useful?

Brain storage.

[The Naruto timeline itself has been revised over many years and is full of bugs. I'll try to make it as reasonable as possible.]

A silent night.

The bright moon hung high.

Blood stained everything, making the stillness eerie and strange.

Tap, tap~~

Uchiha Feng opened his eyes on the bed and looked at the scene before him.

It was both familiar and unfamiliar.

His head was still muddled, memories continuing to collide within his mind.

Yet some force pushed his body toward the courtyard, urging him to confirm his current situation.

A memory in his mind kept warning him. Before he had fully integrated those memories, it seemed his life was already in danger.

When his memories had first awakened, he had been at the Konoha Ninja Academy.

At the very moment he fainted, he heard the teacher make arrangements: the lower-grade students would remain after school for self-study that day.

Such a thing had never happened at the academy before, and among those lower-grade students was the anchor of those memories—Uchiha Sasuke.

And now, it was that fatal year: Year 57 of Konoha.

The Uchiha Clan compound, which should have been bustling with activity, was now exceptionally silent.

The faint smell of blood drifted through the air, while sounds of battle came from afar.

Looking into the distance, he saw that the entire Uchiha Clan had been sealed within their compound, confirming Uchiha Feng's suspicion.

"Damn it... the Night of the Clan Massacre is here!"

In that instant, Uchiha Feng's memories merged seamlessly, fully integrating the memories of Uchiha Feng from the ninja world and Zhao Feng, a programmer shut-in from another world.

As the memories corroborated one another, he understood his current predicament.

According to the records in his memories, only two people survived this event that shocked the ninja world: the murderer Uchiha Itachi, and his beloved younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke.

The entire Uchiha Clan met its curtain call, and this body should have belonged to one of those who died in this incident.

He bit down on his already cracked lips. He knew that as time passed, danger was drawing closer and closer.

The distant battle ended, and the entire compound fell deathly silent.

His body stiffened, his fists clenched tightly. "I... refuse to accept this!"

In the end, it all condensed into those words.

As an academy student who had yet to graduate, there was no way he could survive Uchiha Itachi's hunt. Not to mention that behind him lurked that scheming bastard Shimura Danzo, that insane scheming bastard Uchiha Obito, and the even more deeply hidden brainwashing scheming bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Uchiha Itachi~

Uchiha Obito~

Shimura Danzo~

Hiruzen Sarutobi~

Even Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Sasuke—you all deserve to die!"

Those enemies continuously surfaced in his mind, until he realized that the one he hated most was actually Uchiha Fugaku.

His parents had burned themselves out during the Second Shinobi World War for the sake of the Uchiha Clan and Konoha. And today, was he supposed to burn himself up for Konoha's Will of Fire too?

To light up Uchiha Sasuke's bright future?

Uchiha Fugaku had planned things well indeed!

When facing Uchiha Itachi, did he truly have no ability to resist?

Not necessarily.

He was merely paving the way for his two beloved sons! Just from Uchiha Sasuke's name, one could see how much he had tried to curry favor with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He was clearly the Uchiha Clan's patriarch, yet he had long since been brainwashed by Hiruzen Sarutobi. With a patriarch like that, how could the Uchiha Clan possibly survive?

If a clan did not have its patriarch's cooperation, would every single member truly gather in the clan compound? Would not even one member be able to escape?

Any great clan planned for defeat before seeking victory.

He did not believe it!

Whoosh, whoosh~~

"Ding~~"

A pleasant sound jolted Uchiha Feng awake. Feeling the cold night wind, his tightly wound body gradually relaxed.

"What was that sound just now?"

As he searched through his memories for what had just happened, a magnificent scene appeared. Cards from the Dragon Ball World surfaced in his mind one after another, followed by a series of prompts.

"New world discovered. Preparing to descend!

Insufficient energy~~ Unable to descend~~

Warning!!!

Sufficient soul energy required~~

Adapting~ Forming template!"

A stream of information entered his mind. This scene seemed somewhat familiar.

Wasn't this the startup screen of the card game that the shut-in programmer in his memories had created himself?

That card game had consumed all his effort. Was that why he had died from overwork?

After death, the two souls had fused together.

He was now the fusion of two souls!

In his mind, a divine dragon rested with its eyes closed, exuding endless mystery and majesty.

Behind it was a group appearance by several Dragon Ball characters, followed by individual images of countless others.

The images churned in his mind before finally converging into a panel.

Name: Uchiha Feng

Combat Power: 5 points (Shadow Clone Technique, Basic Three-Body Techniques, Uchiha Style Throwing Technique)

Soul Points: 10 (Soul power absorbed by the original body. It is currently absorbing a large amount of dispersed soul essence.)

Cards: None

Worlds Available for Drawing: Dragon Ball.

Such a simple panel was Uchiha Feng's lifeline. According to the memories in his mind, only the Earth arc had been unlocked so far, but that was already enough. The world of Dragon Ball itself revolved around Earth.

What mattered most now was gathering this so-called soul power to draw manifested cards. Didn't he happen to have ten Soul Points right now?

"Begin drawing~"

Uchiha Feng still felt an overwhelming sense of urgency. He had not escaped the danger of death yet; he had merely glimpsed hope.

His combat power was only 5. Wasn't that the equivalent of an ordinary person with a gun in the Dragon Ball World?

"Ding~

Card: Dumpling

Evaluation: Boundless potential, but useless to you at present.

Rank: One-star [Upgradeable]

Abilities: Psychic Powers [Unlocked! 1: Control 2: Sensory Ability 3: Telepathy 4: Precognition]

Crane Hermit School [Locked. Rank upgrade required]"

Within his mind, a card slowly unveiled itself.

In the image was a floating child dressed in the Crane Hermit School's uniform, wearing a black round skullcap. His tiny round face had two large circular patches of red blush on his cheeks.

"Is it Dumpling? But what use is he right now? Do I have no choice but to risk absorbing other soul energy?"

The evaluation was truly fair, like a bolt of lightning striking Uchiha Feng's head. Dumpling's abilities were useful, but against Uchiha Itachi, they would still fall short.

A stream of energy gathered around Uchiha Feng, enhancing his sensory ability.

The darkness of the night could not obstruct his senses at all. In his mind, streams of ki were dissipating—these belonged to people who had already died—and he could distinguish their owners.

"So this is a psychic power—sensory ability. It seems similar to a ninja's sensory techniques, but far more concealed."

Uchiha Feng murmured as his perception spread over the entire barrier, only to hit a wall and be stopped by it.

A gap appeared, and Uchiha Sasuke entered the clan compound.

Uchiha Feng's sensory ability also reached the only two people remaining.

Inside the Uchiha patriarch's study, Uchiha Itachi was speaking with Uchiha Fugaku.

A feeling of being watched rose in his heart, filling him with unease.

That was a familiar presence. Was someone from the Uchiha Clan still alive?

Or was it someone from Konoha assigned to watch him?

Uchiha Itachi activated the Substitution Technique, his body transforming into a flock of crows that began patrolling the entire Uchiha Clan compound.

"Damn it! I've been discovered!"

Uchiha Feng silently cursed his own actions. Why had he been so reckless?

Uchiha Itachi had already noticed his presence and would soon find his trail. He had to awaken more cards.
