The Heavens: From Naruto to sign in

In the world of Naruto,even though ninjas possess superhuman strength,in truth—their offensive power may be enhanced,but their defense is still no different from that of ordinary people.

Without any protection or defense—a senbon needle,a handful of kunai,even a single nail—could take a ninja's life with ease.Not even a Kage-level master is exempt from that reality.

Yoruha stood silently, coldly, staring down at the two corpses lying in a pool of blood.He swallowed hard.

Killing...It wasn't as easy as he'd imagined.Especially in that moment right after death—when the body didn't lie still.Nerve spasms.Residual muscle contractions.Those involuntary movements, which only occur post-mortem,hammered at Yoruha's psyche, wave after wave.

And yet—

He didn't run.

Yoruha understood too well:in this world, killing wasn't optional.It was required.

A mandatory course in survival.

The only thing was—this particular lesson had come earlier than he'd expected.

"People who come to the village to issue missions are usually followed by Konoha's own shinobi...But these two?They clearly snuck in."

"Could they be spies from Kumogakure? Iwagakure, maybe?"

"…No. That doesn't make sense."

"If they were just spies, they wouldn't have made it past the Konoha barrier—unless someone on the inside was helping them."

Yoruha's expression suddenly tensed.A name surfaced in his mind.

Danzo.Konoha's Pot King.

If Danzo was involved—Yoruha knew he'd better get out of here fast.

Ding!

"Host has arrived at the designated check-in location.""Commencing sign-in sequence. Countdown: 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 0.""Congratulations to the host for completing the check-in! You have obtained: Uzumaki Bloodline Traits!"

Boom!

That same overwhelming, indescribable force surged through him again.Just like the last time—The experience was intense but familiar.

But this time—when the power faded,Yoruha could clearly feel it:

His body had changed.

While his physical strength hadn't increased dramatically,the vitality in every single cell had intensified.Even the chakra pathways—the meridians—were now noticeably thicker and more durable than before.

"Heh... You seriously expect me to believe you're not manipulating things behind the scenes?" Yoruha muttered.

"Right after I complained, you give me the Uzumaki bloodline?Come on. If you say this isn't rigged, I'm still not buying it."

The system, as usual, didn't respond.But Yoruha was in a great mood anyway.

Still—he didn't linger.

Now wasn't the time to examine the changes in his body.The location was no longer safe.He needed to leave—fast.

Thirty minutes later.

Swish. Swish. Swish.

Three figures appeared at the scene of the earlier fight.Leading the group was a man with white bandages wrapped around the right side of his face and arm.The cold gleam in his single visible eye said everything—This man wasn't someone to be trifled with.

Shimura Danzo.

"Danzo-sama," said one of the masked shinobi, kneeling beside the corpses,"both targets are confirmed dead. Time of death is estimated to be within the past hour."

"The wounds are isolated to the neck area.They were likely killed by a sneak attack using some kind of miniature hidden weapon."

"Judging from the precision, the killer is highly skilled in assassination using projectile tools."

Danzo said nothing at first.He stepped over the bodies, approaching a large stone roughly two meters tall.Running his hand across the faint shuriken scratches left behind, he fell into deep thought.

"…This is the work of a specialist.Could it be…Hiruzen has already discovered Orochimaru's little project?Did he send ANBU to eliminate these men and leave the bodies behind—as a message for me?"

His gaze sharpened, the air around him chilling.

"Investigate immediately," Danzo commanded."I want to know who was in this forest within the last hour."

"Yes, Danzo-sama!"

One of the Root ninja quickly pulled a scroll from inside his robe.He unsealed it with a flick of chakra—Activating a long-range communication jutsu.

"Lord Danzo," the Root ninja reported a moment later,"a child was seen leaving the forest about ten minutes ago. Around seven years old."

"A child?" Danzo's brow furrowed."Could it be... Hiruzen's picked up another prodigy like Uchiha Itachi?"

"The witnesses said it appeared to be the eldest son of Yamanaka Inoichi—Yoruha of the Yamanaka Clan."
