Chapter 1

In the dense jungle at the border of the Grass Country,

...

"Move faster, don't let the brat in front escape!"

Two Iwagakure ninjas, dressed in earth-colored ninja armor, darted between the tall trees, their eyes filled with icy killing intent.

Not far ahead, a young ninja wearing a Konoha forehead protector was fleeing with all his might.

The pursuers and the fugitive were gradually closing the distance.

Whoosh, whoosh—

Two sharp kunai were launched by one of the Iwagakure ninjas, breaking the silence of the jungle.

The black kunai, like arrows, instantly reached behind the young ninja, about to pierce his back.

The young ninja's ears twitched, and he had already sensed the movement behind him. He immediately shifted his body, landing steadily on a thick branch, then leaped off, dodging the attack.

Thud, thud.

Two dull sounds echoed as the two kunai landed where the young ninja had been, deeply embedding themselves in the branch.

However, such a dodge slowed the young ninja's speed, forcing him to land on the ground. Looking up, he saw an Iwagakure ninja already in front of him.

The other Iwagakure ninja stood behind the young ninja, blocking his escape route.

The two Iwagakure ninjas, one in front and one behind, formed a包围圈.

"Konoha brat, you have nowhere to run!"

The Iwagakure ninja in front, eyes gleaming with malice, sneered cruelly.

The young ninja looked solemnly ahead, also wary of the enemy behind him, feeling a bitter sense of despair.

His name is Uesugi Tetsu, ten years old, a genin from Konoha, and also a穿越者.

It was during the Third Great Shinobi War.

A month ago, Uesugi Tetsu was dispatched with a group of ninjas to support the front lines of the battlefield. However, before reaching the border of the Fire Country, he got separated from the support team and ended up in the Grass Country by mistake.

Not long after, he suddenly encountered two Iwagakure ninjas, leading to the current dire situation.

"Takeda, stop wasting time and finish off this brat quickly, or it will be too late!"

At this moment, the Iwagakure ninja behind Uesugi Tetsu, impatient, spoke up.

"I know."

The Iwagakure ninja in front of Uesugi Tetsu suddenly grinned, holding a kunai horizontally in front of his chest, his eyes filled with mockery as he looked at Uesugi Tetsu.

Suddenly, he pushed off with his feet and swiftly charged at Uesugi Tetsu.

Uesugi Tetsu was startled and immediately gripped the kunai in his hand, assuming a defensive stance.

The enemy's speed was extremely fast, and his strength was at least at the chunin level. In a moment, he had already reached Uesugi Tetsu, swinging the kunai at his chest with a fierce thrust.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing rang out as Uesugi Tetsu gripped his kunai tightly, blocking the enemy's attack. The two kunai collided, sparking.

One attack was deflected, but another followed immediately.

The enemy's attacks came like a storm, wildly swinging the kunai, each strike aimed at Uesugi Tetsu's vital points.

Throat, eyes, chest, abdomen...

Uesugi Tetsu's speed was not as fast, and he could only defend passively, like a small boat in a storm, on the verge of capsizing.

"Damn... There's no chance to counterattack!"

Uesugi Tetsu gritted his teeth, desperately blocking the enemy's attacks.

"Die, Konoha brat!"

At this moment, the enemy let out a loud cry, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent, almost mad, taking the opportunity to knock the kunai out of Uesugi Tetsu's hand and then thrust forward—

Pierce!

Uesugi Tetsu lowered his head, and the enemy's kunai had already deeply pierced his heart, half of it outside, half already embedded in his heart.

Feeling the intense pain from his heart, looking at the enemy with red eyes, Uesugi Tetsu was stunned for a moment, then...

He showed a strange smile.

The Iwagakure ninja, who had just savored the joy of victory, now saw Uesugi Tetsu's strange smile, and his heart trembled inexplicably, the joy of victory instantly vanishing.

"Brat..."

Before he could speak,

Uesugi Tetsu's right hand shot out from his waist, grabbing the enemy's neck, and then he applied force—

Snap.

A bone-chilling sound clearly reached Uesugi Tetsu's ears.

The Iwagakure ninja's eyes bulged, instantly filled with blood, turning extremely red.

He could not believe, even in his dying moments, that a mere genin, after being stabbed in the heart, could still be alive and have such immense strength, breaking his neck with one hand at such a young age.

"Takeda!!!"

At this moment, the other Iwagakure ninja behind Uesugi Tetsu, naturally saw this scene, his eyes bloodshot, roaring as he charged at Uesugi Tetsu.

Pierce!

Another strike, another kunai pierced Uesugi Tetsu from behind.

Uesugi Tetsu endured the intense pain, turned around, and once again showed his strange smile to the enemy behind him.

Bang!

His right fist swung out with immense force, and before the enemy could react, Uesugi Tetsu's fist had already penetrated the enemy's heart.

Directly shattering the enemy's heart!

"This kind of strength... is Tsunade..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Iwagakure ninja who had attacked from behind also died at Uesugi Tetsu's hands.

Uesugi Tetsu took a deep breath, pushed the two enemies' bodies away, and, despite the intense pain in his chest and back, searched their bodies.

He found some explosive tags and money, putting them all in his waist pouch.

After doing this, Uesugi Tetsu started running.

After putting some distance between himself and the battle site, Uesugi Tetsu stopped, found a hidden corner, and began to examine his injuries.

Two kunai were embedded in his body, one piercing his heart from the front, the other from the back. No matter how you looked at it, these were fatal injuries.

But Uesugi Tetsu was still alive.

"This is the second time..."

Uesugi Tetsu sighed inwardly. This was the second time he had suffered fatal injuries. According to common sense, he should have been dead long ago, but he just wouldn't die.

Looking down at the kunai piercing his chest, Uesugi Tetsu suddenly remembered that strange dream.

A year ago, Uesugi Tetsu had a dream.

He dreamed of the Marvel villain Thanos, with a yam face, pointing at him seriously and babbling in a language he couldn't understand.

When he woke up, he had already crossed over.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself on a battlefield, with a knife straight through his chest!

A chilling cold.

That was the first time he had suffered a fatal injury, and he was momentarily terrified.

From that moment on, Uesugi Tetsu realized that he had been cursed by Thanos and, like Deadpool, had gained immortality.

Why did Thanos, who had no grudge against him, do such a cruel thing?

Uesugi Tetsu couldn't understand. At this moment, he only wanted to treat his injuries quickly and stop the intense pain of his heart being pierced.
