It's normal to get a kaleidoscope as a first deposit of six yuan, right?

Zhi Xue lay alone on the bed, feeling the stinging pain in her chest, and gritted her teeth.

"Wait, it shouldn't be like this if it's just a heart injury. What happened?" Zhi Xue clutched her chest, where it felt like something was nailed to the top of her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

Ding! The host has completed the mission and received the following rewards: Eye Technique: Heavenly Obstruction Star (the host has obtained the Rinnegan and can use it), and Divine Tree Sapling (already sent to the system space).

Before she could even think about the pain, Zhi Xue was filled with questions as she listened to the system's announcement.

Urashiki is dead? Impossible. Although she almost risked her life to force Urashiki back with her Wood Release, the poison and loss of chakra should only allow him to recover for a few more days at most.

Ding! Urashiki Otsutsuki has exhausted a lot of chakra in the battle with the host in the spatial passage. After entangled with the host for a while, he was ambushed by Sasuke Uchiha when he jumped into the sea to escape. He is now in a sealed state and no longer poses a threat to the host.

Hearing what the system said, Zhi Xue breathed a sigh of relief. Had she finally finished fighting this guy? It had been a long time since she had fought an enemy of equal strength. Once she did, it was truly deadly.

"Damn it, is this pain even an orgasm?!" Just as Zhixue was starting to feel relieved, a sharp pain in her chest almost made her feel like her soul was about to ascend to heaven.

Sigh, never mind, I'm so tired. I'll rest for a bit. Since I've already been exposed, I'll just leave it at that for now and deal with things tomorrow. (Sad)

Chapter 195, Frozen

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

While Shisui was still worried about Shisui's situation, the Uchiha ninjas on the front line had already started fighting the Kirigakure ninjas. The rumbling sounds and the sounds of ninjas fighting echoed continuously across this land filled with the smoke of battle.

Having just charged into the main battlefield, the Hidden Mist Village ninjas were suddenly struck by a message from the reconnaissance department.

The previous Kirigakure raiding squad was completely wiped out! The reinforcements sent to help were also almost entirely captured, which made the leader of the Kirigakure team turn green with rage.

There's no need to distract himself from the pressure now. The battle over there has already ended ahead of schedule. He made such a big mistake that he'll probably lose his captain's armband after the war. He should run away quickly before the fighting gets too deep, and maybe the punishment will be lighter.

"Retreat, retreat!"

On the battlefield, Fugaku pulled his blood-stained ninja sword from the enemy's chest, and then quickly stopped his clansmen who seemed to be in a bloodthirsty frenzy and wanted to chase after him.

It is a common sense in military strategy not to pursue a desperate enemy. The enemy is the Mist Shadow, who are skilled in hiding and assassination. Moreover, the surrounding area is mostly foggy, so we must be even more careful. They have already suffered heavy losses in this battle, and it will probably take some time before they can organize another offensive on this front.

"Chief, their morale has collapsed. If we catch up with them, we might be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"Alright, our mission is to hold the line. We probably can't handle the enemy right now. We'll wait for the right opportunity and orders from above before discussing these things in detail."

"Ok."

When Fugaku returned to his camp, he suddenly discovered a problem.

Where did Shisui go? The intelligence ninjas said the battle in the east ended a long time ago, but I haven't seen him at the camp.

"Inada, where did Shisui go?" Fugaku Uchiha walked out of the tent and asked the Jonin who had been stationed there.

"Clan leader, Shisui seems to have picked up a strangely dressed but very pretty girl from the eastern forest. She looks somewhat like Uchiha Shiyuki. They're probably still in the medical ward."

"Is that so?" Fugaku's eyes widened instantly upon hearing what the Jonin said.

Uchiha Zhixue? He knew this little girl. She was quite cute, but unfortunately, her physique and talent were lacking. But logically speaking, she was only eight years old. How could she have come to the battlefield? Judging from Konoha's defense system, it was impossible for her to have run away because she missed her brother. The Jonin guarding Konoha's gates were basically all at the level of the Hokage's guards. How could they have allowed a little girl like Zhixue, who wasn't even a Genin, to run away?

Sensing that something was amiss, Fugaku personally headed towards the medical department.

Behind the front lines...

Zhi Shui went to negotiate with the field doctor, while Zhi Xue lay alone on the hospital bed, clutching her chest, her whole body trembling with pain.

"Tongzi, is something wrong with my body? Is there any miracle cure available?"

*Ding* The wound inside the host's heart has actually healed, but the pain is due to the foreign object. The host's body is currently being scanned. Please wait a moment.

"Wh-what? A foreign object?" Zhi Xue's eyes widened instantly upon hearing what the system said.

Could it be that Urashiki secretly left something inside her body when he ambushed her? What could possibly be placed inside along with Dust Release?

The next moment, the system's scan results appeared on Zhixue's retina.

Inside a simple human body structure, at the node above the heart that supplies fresh blood to the entire body, there was a cube emitting a faint white light. There were some characters on it that Zhixue couldn't understand, and the strange aura it emitted made Zhixue feel a chill.

Ding! Urgent notification! The "foreign object" has been identified as a Frozen Magic Box from the Otsutsuki clan. Please remain calm and do not use your chakra abilities, or the consequences will be severe!

Upon hearing the system's announcement, Zhi Xue felt a chill run down her spine.

Since you want me to keep my emotions in check, don't say it in a tone that makes me feel like I'm about to collapse!

Foreign object: Frozen Magic Box

Description: A box stored deep within the Dragon Palace to preserve precious pearls. It possesses extremely tough physical properties and cannot be destroyed by ordinary attack methods.

Abilities: Can solidify spatial structures to prevent theft, and also has the ability to freeze time in the surrounding area. Only those who have mastered secret techniques or possess special bloodlines can approach it. (Note: This is not an ordinary item; keep out of reach of children.)

Outer layer restriction: an unknown seal lock.

Ding! Judging from the form of the magic box, it seems that the restriction has not yet been activated. However, due to its extremely excellent anti-theft ability, please do not use too much chakra, otherwise you may be frozen for ten thousand years like Otsutsuki Toneri on the moon in a few days.

Stop Snow: ...

It's estimated that less than 10,000 years have passed since Kaguya descended upon the ninja world and the era of the Five Great Nations has begun. If she were truly frozen, it's questionable whether the ninja world would even still exist by the time she thaws!

"Tongzi, do you have a solution? Money is not a problem."

Ding, host, this is not a matter of money. The system store does have time freeze cards, but no time unfreeze cards. Izanagi can be an option, but due to the instability of the box, it is only recommended as a last resort. There are two other solutions.

"Which two?" Zhi Xue raised an eyebrow and asked the system.

Ding! The first solution is to find Urashiki and have him use the secret techniques of Daikokuten and Sumina Bikuna to retrieve the magic box. However, this is dangerous, and there is a possibility that Urashiki might perish together with the host.

Stop Snow: ...

She shouldn't be so hated that people would want to die with her, right? She's such a kind person; she probably hasn't done anything heinous in the future, has she? (Momoshiki, Kinshiki, Isshiki: You're right.)

"Tongzi, what about the second solution?"

Ding! The second solution is to utilize the genetic commonality between the original owner and the host to temporarily transfer the magic box into her body. Because the original owner has very little chakra, it will be much more stable.

Upon hearing the solution proposed by the system, Zhixue's pupils dilated in surprise.

"Are you serious about this plan...?"

Chapter 196, Home

"Zhishui, I heard you found a girl on the battlefield?"

Shisui, who was talking to the doctor, turned around and nodded when he heard Fugaku's voice.

"Yes, Chieftain, I found Zhixue in the western battlefield forest. She is still resting in tent number 33."

Fugaku looked at the doctor and noticed that she nodded before a strange expression appeared on her face.

"Are you sure it's your sister? But according to the news from the village, she should still be safely in the Uchiha clan's territory, going to and from school every day. How could she possibly be on a battlefield nearly a thousand miles away?"

Upon hearing Fugaku's question, Shisui scratched his head.

"Clan Chief, I know what you're worried about, but I trust my intuition. She must be Zhixue!"

Seeing Shisui's resolute attitude, Fugaku pulled the medical ninja beside him to his side and asked for Shisui's physical examination report. Then, he discovered abnormalities such as abnormal height and lack of chakra reaction in her body.

Upon seeing what was described on this thin piece of paper, Fugaku frowned deeply. This medical report didn't seem to belong to a normal person. When he returned to Konoha three months ago, Shiki was only 2 or 3 meters tall. How could she possibly be 47 meters tall?

He grew more than 20cm in three months? Fugaku obviously wouldn't believe this result. Rather than believe this absurd thing, he would rather witness it with his own eyes.

"They took me to see Zhixue; I want to confirm it myself."

Watching Fugaku leave in a hurry, Shisui wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words back.

Well, it's good to let the clan chief take a look, so as to dispel his suspicions.

"This is the battlefield..." Shisui sighed, then ran over with Fugaku.

However, when Fugaku arrived at the tent where Shiyuki was, he lifted the curtain and found that the figure on the sickbed had already disappeared.

"Zhi Xue...where is she?"

Just as Fugaku sensed something was wrong, a scout ninja ran in from outside and said, "Clan Chief, someone has broken through our rear wall and is running north!"

"What?!"

……

Standing atop a distant mountain, feeling the chilly wind blowing through the air, Zhixue clutched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the Uchiha ninjas chasing after her with their shadow clones.

It's obvious that her identity makes it inappropriate for her to stay here any longer, so she'll use the Water Transformation Technique to impersonate a Hidden Mist Village ninja and attract attention.

"It seems things are going to be more complicated than I expected," Erzhuzi said, glancing at Zhixue.

"Alright, now that you've caught Urashiki, let's hurry back."

"Hmm, but... isn't your condition a bit off?" Erzhuzi said, looking at Zhixue's chest, which she was clutching, and her pale face.

"Let's talk about this when we get back," Zhixue said with her eyes closed.

Sasuke nodded when he saw that Zhixue didn't seem to want to bring it up. Then he created a purple vortex in front of him and left with Zhixue.

This is a past timeline; if we interfere too much, it may have unpredictable consequences for future generations.

Zhi Xue followed Er Zhuzi to the other end of the space. Looking at the pale sky and the mountains covered with graves, a question mark appeared above her head.

"Where is this?"

"Ah, this is where I temporarily hid you before, haha, don't mind." Erzhuzi laughed awkwardly, then took out a shovel from behind his back.

Stop Snow: ???

Five minutes later... With the final blow of the shovel, a crack suddenly opened in the hillside in front of them, and the little girl, who finally saw the light, rushed out and hugged Zhixue.

"Ouch! Be gentle..." Although the little girl's body was soft, the fact that she had bumped straight into her wound still made Zhixue shudder with pain.

"Waaaaah... This place is so scary, I thought I'd been abandoned..." Tears streamed down the little girl's face.

She was almost scared to death to be buried in such a dark, enclosed place filled with corpses.

Upon hearing what the original owner said, Zhixue stared blankly at Sasuke's location, as if wanting him to give a reasonable explanation.

"Ah, although this is a graveyard in the back mountains of Konoha, it is precisely because of the chaotic aura that it is not easy to be tracked. Moreover, I believe Urashiki would not have guessed that it was here."

Seeing Erzhuzi's embarrassment, Zhixue felt the tears streaming down the little girl's face and sighed, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes. She then comforted her, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, no one will abandon you. Little Zhixue is so cute, how could anyone bear to abandon you?"

Although these comforting words were a lie, they did alleviate the original owner's fear. However, the little girl was also stunned when she saw the red-stained bandages tied under Zhi Xue's clothes.

"Fox spirit sister... are you injured?"
