Chapter 54
A massive surge of powerful chakra filled Sakyo's body almost instantly. Her spirit reignited with vitality, and her body regained its strength.
Her Mangekyō Sharingan contracted slightly, becoming even sharper and more menacing…
Meanwhile, inside Sakyo's Kamui dimension:
Naruto stared blankly at the two neat rows of small tooth marks that had suddenly appeared on his arm. Just moments ago, a tiny bit of his chakra had leaked out.
"System, what the hell is going on?"
"Ding~ Host, Uchiha Sakyo has used your chakra to recover her condition. Her safety is temporarily assured."
Naruto let out a relieved breath: "Phew~ That's really good."
Then he suddenly realized: "Wait—System, what did you just say?"
"Sakyo recovered using my chakra? How can I even replenish someone else's chakra?"
"Ding~ Host, your Uzumaki bloodline is now fully activated. Of course you possess the special abilities of the Uzumaki clan."
"System, nooo—I don't want this! I don't want to be a walking chakra battery! I want to be the main DPS daddy!"
"Ding~…"
"System, stop dinging and talk! Tell me what's happening outside~"
"Ding~ Alternatively, the system can have Little Sakyo release you so you can face the enemies together."
…
In the dense forest in the northeast of the Land of Fire, dozens of Root ninjas launched a coordinated assault on Sakyo.
After her chakra was restored, facing attacks coming from all directions, Sakyo's eyes narrowed. A deep-sea-blue chakra cloak materialized around her body.
No… this wasn't just chakra manifestation!
It was… solidification!
"Susanoo!"
A ghostly skeletal Susanoo enveloped Sakyo in a perfect 360-degree defense with no blind spots.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Clang! Bang!
Kunai, shuriken, every kind of ninjutsu rained down on Sakyo's Susanoo in an instant.
Because she wasn't yet proficient with Susanoo, the force of the attacks pushed her back. The Susanoo took all the hits and was now covered in cracks.
Mid-flight, Sakyo looked up and saw a large tree ahead. If she crashed into it, it would disrupt her Susanoo.
So she hid her body inside the Kamui dimension, smoothly avoiding disaster.
And because she missed Naruto so much, Sakyo decided to send her entire body into the Kamui dimension.
…
Inside Sakyo's Kamui dimension:
Naruto was spacing out while talking to the system.
Suddenly… a skeletal Susanoo appeared in the sky. Inside it was a "visibly" exhausted Sakyo.
But…
"Why is Little Sakyo flying straight toward the pond?"
Naruto stared dumbfounded as Sakyo plunged directly into the pond.
Splash~
Due to external force, Sakyo entered the Kamui dimension and immediately fell into the pond.
But moments later, she emerged from the water.
She used Kamui again for a short-distance shift, relocating herself to the center of the dimension.
By now her Susanoo could no longer hold and had dissipated on its own.
Soaked like a drowned kitten, Sakyo looked pitiful in Naruto's eyes—like a wronged little cat.
And that was exactly the situation.
When Sakyo saw Naruto, she realized he was perfectly fine and jumping around—especially that glaring red bloodstain on his chest.
And right beside him on the ground was the ninja sword that had pierced through him.
Sakyo felt incredibly wronged. She realized Naruto had tricked her. She unconsciously pouted, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at him, utterly pitiful.
