Chapter 1: Chapter 1: One Click, Full Level System
The Land of Fire faces the Land of Lightning.
Inside a concealed cave near the battlefront, the Konoha ninja huddle together, their bodies battered and bloodied.
Shame hangs in the air.
"Damn those Kumo shinobi! We were already locked in a decisive battle against Iwa and Suna when they struck us from behind!"
"Our numbers are down to just 29, while theirs are at least a hundred. Worse, their vanguard includes the infamous AB Combo—Killer B, the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, and the Raikage's right hand, A."
"If we don't withdraw now, once they encircle us, we're finished."
Tension grips the wounded Konoha forces.
The Third Great Ninja War erupted with the mysterious disappearance of the Third Kazekage, prompting Iwagakure to shatter Konoha's defensive line at the Kannabi Bridge. Suna followed suit, launching its own offensive.
As Konoha struggled against two fronts, the Land of Water seized the opportunity to attack, forcing Konoha into a third battlefield.
Thinking their rear lines secure, Konoha was caught off guard when Kumo executed a sudden flanking maneuver, opening a fourth front.
Now, forced to divert resources yet again, they find themselves completely outmatched against the elite Kumo forces.
Their vanguard squad has already been decimated.
To break their morale further, the enemy broadcasts the presence of the AB Combo, hoping to make them surrender without a fight.
"Has the request for reinforcements been answered?"
"Yes! The message came back—it's the Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato!"
"Minato-sama?! But isn't he engaged at Kikyo Pass? If Kumo is already this close, there's no way he can reach us in time."
The brief spark of hope vanishes.
Namikaze Minato, the legend of the war, has struck fear into Iwa and Suna, but even his speed cannot cover impossible distances.
Konoha is alone.
"Based on Kumo's speed, they'll be here in three days. We're no match for them. And if A and B join the fight, we'll be annihilated," one Konoha ninja mutters, his voice laced with despair.
All eyes turn to the two men leading this desperate mission—Shimura Danzo's operatives from Root.
Yamanaka Shige and Aburame Takeharu.
"We assess the wounded first," Yamanaka Shige orders grimly. "If they can't fight, we leave them behind."
"Tch. If only the Uchiha in our squad hadn't been taken out so quickly, we might've had a chance to hold our ground."
"Yeah. Uchiha Qin Yu was unlucky. The moment he stepped onto the battlefield, he got hit by an explosive tag and was critically wounded. I heard his Sharingan only has a single tomoe."
Disdain ripples through the gathered shinobi.
In the shadows, a boy—fourteen, maybe fifteen—slowly opens his eyes.
Uchiha Qin Yu.
The sight of the dimly lit cave, the wounded bodies around him, the hushed murmurs—everything rushes into his mind.
Then it hits him.
"I… transmigrated?"
Not just anywhere.
The Third Great Ninja War.
And worse—he's in the Uchiha Clan. The very clan that's destined for destruction.
This battlefield is a death trap.
And from the way the conversation is going, it sounds like they plan to abandon the wounded.
He's as good as dead.
"Damn it… dying here isn't an option."
Ding! One-Click Max-Level System activated! Would you like to use it now?
Qin Yu freezes.
What?!
A cheat system? Now of all times?
This… this is the golden finger every transmigrator dreams of!
"Activate it! Max out everything!"
Ding! Sharingan maxed out!
Kaleidoscope Sharingan unlocked! Acquired Mangekyō abilities: Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo!
Ding! Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu maxed out!
Ding! Fire Release: Dragon Flame Jutsu maxed out!
Ding! Body Flicker Technique maxed out!
Ding! Shadow Clone Jutsu maxed out! Multiple Shadow Clone Technique unlocked!
A flurry of system messages floods his mind.
Qin Yu stares at the information before him.
This means…
Any jutsu he learns instantly reaches full mastery.
He can wield techniques that others spend decades perfecting.
Susanoo. Tsukuyomi. Amaterasu.
He just jumped from cannon fodder to a powerhouse.
"Others train for years… but with this system, I can max out anything in an instant."
He feels the surge of chakra coursing through his body, the sheer power of his newly awakened eyes. A slow, confident grin spreads across his face.
"Qin Yu, don't move! Your wounds haven't fully healed yet."
A quiet, determined voice breaks through his thoughts.
A girl kneels beside him, her black hair falling softly over her worried face.
Shizune.
She's the only medical ninja left in their squad.
On this battlefield, death is a mercy. Living through it is the true curse.
Her pale face is drenched in sweat, her chakra nearly depleted, yet she stubbornly presses on, hands glowing with the faint remains of medical ninjutsu.
Seeing this, Qin Yu gently reaches out and stops her.
"You should rest," he says. "I'm already healed. If you push yourself any further, you'll pass out."
Shizune shakes her head, biting her lip.
"Tsunade-sama taught me that a medic is the last line of defense on the battlefield. If I give up… then it means abandoning my comrades."
Her voice trembles.
"I refuse to accept that. If only I were as strong as Tsunade-sama… If I could summon Katsuyu, I could heal everyone, and no one would have to be left behind."
Tears well up in her eyes, her hands clenched into fists.
"My parents… they died in this war. And there are families back home still waiting for their loved ones. I don't want them to go through what I did. I don't want to abandon anyone, not while they're still alive!"
Her hot tears fall silently onto her hands, her body shaking with frustration and grief.
This…
This is the pain of a healer.
The agony of knowing that, despite all their efforts, they are powerless to save everyone.
Qin Yu watches her quietly.
But unlike before…
This time, he can do something.
