You leaned back, trying to dodge—but you were too slow. The enemy didn't manage to slice through your carotid artery, but still cut open your trachea. In desperation, you remembered your Strength advantage and threw yourself at your opponent with everything you had, arms and legs working in tandem, tackling them to the ground.
At the same time, Black Boss Cat lunged forward and sank his teeth into the attacker's neck.
You gripped their short blade with both hands and, with sheer force, snapped the blade in two. The enemy took advantage of the opening and stabbed the broken piece into your chest—but you struck back, driving the blade deep into their heart. Summoning your last ounce of strength, you repeatedly slammed your elbow into their face, throat, and chest, the one that had been pierced.
With one final elbow strike, there was a sharp crack from the Root ninja's neck—and all life left their body. You collapsed, gravely wounded, but in your heart, you felt a rare sense of satisfaction.
This was the first time you had taken down three Chūnin-level Root ninja entirely through your own power.
Though you could no longer speak, you used mental communication to entrust Black Boss Cat with your final wishes—asking him to ensure the Uchiha bloodline and will would not perish.
After your death, with the help of the ninja cats, the Uchiha clan finally came to realize the scale of the crisis they were facing. After a failed breakout, the Great Elder submitted to Danzo, offering up the lives of several clan members and erasing the memories of a few Uchiha children as a trade.
Aside from Sasuke, only a sliver of Uchiha bloodline remained.
With help from the ninja cats, a newborn baby was smuggled out and sent far away, to be raised by a common family in the Land of Lightning. After learning the truth about his origin, he inherited the Uchiha's jutsu and ultimately became a bodyguard to the Raikage...

〖In this simulation, the user contacted allies and, through sheer willpower, fought three Chūnin-level enemies to the death, successfully preserving a spark of Uchiha's legacy…〗

3. Results of Endurance Training in the simulation
4. Residual Mangekyō Sharingan Power
5. Token from Black Boss Cat
6. Summoning Technique
At just a glance, Uchiha Kirin immediately skipped over the broken blade and Summoning Technique. The five rewards he wanted practically picked themselves. But one thing still puzzled him.
"Assistant, where did the residual Mangekyō power come from?"
『Ding~ During a past simulation, the user used the Sharingan to peer into an orange cat's spiritual world.』
"I see. So someone used a Mangekyō ability to wipe those stray cats' memories of Uchiha Shisui, and what's left is a fragment of that power?" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NoveI-Fire.ɴet
『Ding~ The user's deduction is absolutely correct.』
『That residual Mangekyō chakra resonated with your Sharingan during the spiritual scan.』
『As a result, it became attached to you.』
Uchiha Kirin stroked his chin thoughtfully. "So, this fragment is now considered a reward because it latched onto me—just like that Amaterasu black flame last time."
"And what form does this power take once extracted? How do I use it?"
『Ding~ Like the Amaterasu black flame, foreign ocular powers are treated as external items. They are solidified into objects and stored in the system's inventory. The user can freely extract or retract them.』
"Got it. System, go ahead and claim rewards 1 through 5. And let's go ahead and collect the Loot System rewards too."

Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet
As soon as the words left his mouth, the rewards turned into streams of heat surging into Uchiha Kirin's body. One stream flowed into his eyes, while the other—more powerful and vast—rushed through his chakra network and spread throughout his entire body.
The Endurance boost wasn't as dramatic and forceful as his previous Strength upgrade, but it had a persistent and surging momentum. The enhancement was subtle, yet steady and enduring.
The first thing Uchiha Kirin noticed was the massive increase in his lung capacity.
No exaggeration—if he filled his lungs, he could easily hold his breath underwater for over twenty minutes without breaking a sweat!
He rubbed his now-warm waist and felt his face flush with healthy color. That overwhelming burden he once felt from wielding such immense Strength was completely gone.
〖Ocular Power: 165/165〗

〖Simulation Points: 6〗
"A full 600 points in Endurance! Now even nearly 500 points of Strength doesn't weigh me down anymore!"
Kirin threw a few punches, each one slicing through the air with a sharp whistle. And he could throw those punches a hundred times over without feeling the strain. At the same time, his body's recovery rate had clearly improved without him even realizing it—his physique now genuinely matched the level of a Chūnin.
"With a body , I could travel back to the real world and become a billionaire just from manual labor. Breaking through human physical limits this easily… Chakra really is something else. If only the defense were a bit better."
He pressed on his arm, then pulled out a kunai and gently slid it across his skin—sure enough, it left a bloody mark. Seems even with this level of physical enhancement, without chakra protection, a ninja is still a glass cannon. Even someone like Hashirama Senju could be hurt by a kunai—it's just that his regeneration was freakishly strong.
After basking in the feeling of genuine, long-lasting strength, Kirin casually retrieved Black Boss Cat's token from the system space. The token looked rather ordinary: just a strip of cloth covered in the script of the ninja cats, wrapped around a small, smooth white jade carved into the shape of a fishbone. A textbook example of a token.
Since he couldn't understand a single word on it and the jade itself didn't radiate any chakra or energy, Kirin quickly lost interest and stashed it back into the system.
His focus shifted to that fragment of Mangekyō Sharingan power...
