Chapter 33

Su Zhong was sucked into the black rift, and an overwhelming pressure surged towards him. His body immediately began to bleed and developed cracks, like a shattered porcelain. The pain was unbearable, yet he could not even cry out. The surroundings were pitch black, evoking a sense of despair and fear.

His internal energy rapidly drained away, and his body disintegrated faster and faster. In no time, all his internal energy had vanished.

Bang! He turned into a pile of ashes, just like Dongfang Bubai.

A luminous white orb appeared out of nowhere, and Su Zhong's semi-conscious mind was immediately drawn into it. The deadly sword intent followed the internal energy and was quickly absorbed by the Boundary-Breaking Pearl.

"Rules collected, energy collected, break the boundary!"

Su Zhong vaguely heard a cold, mechanical, neutral voice, and then he fell into unconsciousness.

...

"Ah! What a tragedy!"

"Indeed. The prestigious Uchiha clan of Konoha has vanished overnight, and it was done by their own people. What a disaster!"

"Hmph! What disaster? They got what they deserved. They were so arrogant, and there must have been internal issues that led to the conflict!"

"Shh! Do you want to die? The Uchiha clan hasn't been completely wiped out yet."

"Just a paralyzed cripple and a five-year-old child. What can they do?"

"It's hard to say..."

Today, Konoha was bustling with activity. The prestigious Uchiha clan was brutally exterminated last night. The perpetrator was the top genius of the Uchiha clan, the rogue ninja Uchiha Itachi.

The vast Uchiha clan now had only two survivors: Uchiha Shū, who was completely paralyzed, and the young Uchiha Sasuke.

...

In the hospital, Su Zhong slowly opened his eyes. Everything was white, and from the decor, he knew he was in a hospital. Was he back in the modern world? A wave of joy surged in his heart.

After more than ten years of life in the world of "Smiling, Proud Wanderer," he had gradually forgotten the modern world. But when he saw modern facilities again, the long-suppressed nostalgia burst forth.

Su Zhong wanted to take a look around but found himself wrapped in bandages, unable to move. Even a slight effort to turn his neck caused unbearable pain.

At the same time, waves of pain and numbness invaded his brain, but Su Zhong was particularly delighted. Pain meant he had a body, and the ability to feel pain meant he still had consciousness.

At the moment of breaking through the void, Su Zhong clearly perceived the scene of his body disintegrating and his consciousness dissipating. Although the time was brief, the terrifying feeling of non-existence was still vivid in his memory.

Following the vague memory in his mind, Su Zhong knew that if it weren't for the Boundary-Breaking Pearl protecting his soul, he would have been crushed by the world's pressure.

Thinking of the Boundary-Breaking Pearl, Su Zhong recalled the faint, neutral voice. Could the Boundary-Breaking Pearl speak?

Collecting rules? Collecting energy?

Su Zhong couldn't move his neck to observe the surroundings, so he focused his thoughts on the Boundary-Breaking Pearl.

He remembered his internal energy rapidly disappearing, which was likely the collection of energy. But what about the rules?

A thought struck Su Zhong: Could it be the sword intent?

The more he thought about it, the more he believed it was possible. Sword intent was a rule, and internal energy was energy. In the world of "Smiling, Proud Wanderer," when his sword intent was just achieved, he felt the Boundary-Breaking Pearl stirring.

During the battle with Dongfang Bubai, in a critical moment, the Boundary-Breaking Pearl activated the sword intent, helping him defeat Dongfang Bubai. The Boundary-Breaking Pearl then fully awakened. Before he could investigate the reason, the Boundary-Breaking Pearl had already taken him through the void.

After thinking through the entire process, he concluded that this was the only explanation. However, he still didn't know how the Boundary-Breaking Pearl worked. Closing his eyes, he carefully felt and discovered that the Boundary-Breaking Pearl was hidden somewhere in his mind, but he couldn't find it.

The Boundary-Breaking Pearl fell back into a deep sleep.

Su Zhong pondered, realizing that he needed to achieve sword intent again and have enough energy to awaken it.

But in the modern world, sword intent? Internal energy?

...

Click.

The door opened, and someone walked in. From the footsteps, Su Zhong guessed the person was not heavy, likely a child. He was puzzled, wondering whose child had come to see him. In his previous life, he didn't have any children.

Opening his heavy eyelids, he caught a glimpse of a young boy, about five or six years old, with black hair and a dark blue shirt, his face cold.

Su Zhong moved his eyes to focus on the door, trying to see more clearly. He found the boy very interesting; seeing the cold expression reminded him of his former self.

However, a moment later, he was stunned. The boy looked so familiar, and a sense of foreboding crept over him.

"You're awake!" Sasuke exclaimed, his cold expression vanishing.

He had come to the familiar room, expecting the clan member, who had lost too much blood and whose cells had died from lack of oxygen, to remain unconscious forever. But today, the person had actually woken up.

"That's great! You're finally awake!" Sasuke's eyes turned red, and the awakening of a clan member made him feel less alone.

"Sasuke?" Su Zhong asked cautiously, making the final confirmation. His voice was hoarse and sounded naturally in Japanese, making his face even more grim.

"Yes, yes! It's me!" Sasuke nodded repeatedly, excited, and quickly walked to Su Zhong's bed, tightly gripping his arm.

Sigh! Su Zhong inhaled sharply in pain.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..." Sasuke's face turned red, and he shook his head, apologizing.

Su Zhong smiled gently, indicating he wasn't angry, and looked up at the ceiling without speaking.

Boundary-Breaking Pearl, I curse you!

...

Soon, Su Zhong had to accept the reality that the Boundary-Breaking Pearl had brought him to another world, the world of "Naruto."

With the experience from his first穿越 (穿越 means "穿越" in Chinese, which translates to "穿越" in English, but in this context, it means "穿越" or "穿越" in the sense of "穿越" or "穿越" in a fictional context, such as "穿越" to another world or universe), Su Zhong quickly adjusted his state.

Moreover, his sword intent was complete, and his mindset was no longer as extreme as it was at the beginning. He quickly calmed down and focused on the current situation.

After waking up, Su Zhong soon left the Konoha hospital.

Most of his body's cells were dead, and recovery would be extremely difficult. Staying at home was no different from staying in the hospital.

Basically, Su Zhong had been declared a cripple.

Thus, at Su Zhong's request, Sasuke efficiently handled the discharge procedures and took Su Zhong back to the Uchiha family's large house.

In the original story, Sasuke moved out of the Uchiha family's large house for various reasons.

But this time, it was different. Su Zhong's穿越 (穿越) unexpectedly added another survivor to the Uchiha clan.

With a cold face, Sasuke boldly said to the Third Hokage, "Two people make a family! The Uchiha clan's property must be fully returned, and we don't need anyone else to manage it."

The Third Hokage could only return the large house and most of the property to the Uchiha clan, though the part that had been taken was hard to recover. This made many people resentful and cast suspicious glances at the Uchiha clan.

However, with the Third Hokage's pressure, they didn't dare to act rashly.

...

Not far away was an artificial lake. Sasuke was practicing throwing shurikens by the lake.

Su Zhong was sitting in a wheelchair under a tree, his eyes seemingly focused on Sasuke but actually observing himself.

As he gradually became familiar with his body, he realized that this eight-year-old body was in terrible condition.

Fortunately, it was still a male body, and Su Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. He had to accept the fact that he needed to quickly restore the body's vitality. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to take care of himself.

At his mental age, which was close to that of an old man, being taken care of by a five-year-old child was extremely uncomfortable.

The longer he was awake, the faster he merged with his body. Finally, today, he felt his soul completely integrated into this body.

After a slight discomfort, Su Zhong immediately noticed a difference.

He found his eyes to be exceptionally sharp. Every movement around him was visible to his eyes.

Sharingan?

No. Su Zhong clearly knew that his eyes had not activated, and he had not awakened the Uchiha bloodline.

This perceptual ability, while somewhat similar to the Byakugan, was different.

His eyes were still black and white, but he could perceive everything within a three-meter radius. It was not the 360-degree vision of the Byakugan or the dynamic tracking of the Sharingan.

Upon careful consideration, he realized it was somewhat like the probing of sword intent.

Su Zhong was stunned and thought about it carefully. It really could be the sword intent!

Although the deadly sword intent had been absorbed by the Boundary-Breaking Pearl, the qualitative change in his soul would definitely give him some special traits. Integrating with the Uchiha bloodline, it was very possible for his eyes to undergo some unknown changes.

Su Zhong stared blankly at the distant sky, but in reality, he could sense even a bug flying within three meters.

After familiarizing himself with this visual radar, Su Zhong focused on restoring the body's vitality.

He thought of a method: controlling the blood flow to increase the energy supply to a specific part of the body. Combined with external medication, this could accelerate the regeneration of flesh and restore vitality.

Controlling blood flow might seem far-fetched to others, but to Su Zhong, it was not a wild fantasy.

During internal energy cultivation, the focus is on the dantian. At this time, the blood slowly gathers at the focused area.

For ordinary people, this might not be very effective, but Su Zhong had comprehended the sword intent.

His soul had undergone a transformation, and his will was pure and firm. Focusing on a single point without distraction was very easy for him.

Thinking of this, he immediately put it into action.

Su Zhong's mind became clear and calm, and he focused his intention on his right index finger.

Ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the meridians of the fingers involve the entire body. As long as the fingers could move, they could stimulate the entire body's meridians through their activity!

...

Sasuke practiced throwing shurikens and soon was drenched in sweat.

Turning his head to look at Su Zhong, who was sitting motionless under the tree, Sasuke smiled. He no longer felt alone.

Facing the artificial lake, Sasuke quickly formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Boom!

A huge fireball rose and burned over the artificial lake.

Sasuke panted heavily and sat down on the ground, having
