🕑 Added 2024-10-14 12:05:42 +0000 UTC"I flew across the large cave and was thrown into a hole that made me fall into the sea near the island. The cold waves hit my body, making my breath ragged. From a distance, I heard a loud explosion echoing across the entire island."

"Damn," Aoki muttered with a complicated expression, "so the arranged fiancée is really a character from Naruto."
Aoki shook his head, almost in disbelief. "And not just any character, but an extraordinary kunoichi—beautiful, sexy, powerful, and even a future Mizukage with two Kekkei Genkai."
Aoki's face became even more twisted. "Haah, it looks like I’m really going to mess up more plotlines from now on." With a helpless feeling, Aoki continued reading, his expression reflecting his inner turmoil.

"I was almost drowning. My body felt heavy, my wounds adding unbearable pain. However, in that desperate moment, the image of my little daughter's face flashed in my mind. My little girl... I couldn’t die. Not here, not now. That girl needed her mother."
"With the last bit of strength I had, I forced my body to move. Slowly, I began to swim towards the shore, though every movement felt like thousands of needles stabbing into my flesh."
"Finally, after struggling against the fierce ocean currents, I reached the shore. My breath was labored, my entire body burning, but I was still alive. That was enough."
"I immediately looked for shelter, and luckily, it didn’t take long for me to find a hidden hole beneath the roots of a large tree. Though it was cramped and dark, the place was enough to shield me from external dangers."
"With great effort, I crawled into the hole, trying to catch my breath and began focusing my Chakra to heal myself. But as I started directing Chakra to my wounds, an intense pain suddenly attacked my abdomen. The pain was so sudden and overwhelming, it made me grit my teeth."
"What... is this?" I muttered, gasping for breath.
"The pain came from the core of my Chakra circulation—the center of my body's energy flow. It wasn’t just an ordinary physical wound, something was wrong with my Chakra core."
"As I struggled to understand what was happening, anxiety crept into my mind. If my Chakra core was damaged, I wouldn’t just lose my combat abilities, I might never be able to use Chakra again."
"Though the pain in my Chakra circulation core was overwhelming, I had no choice but to continue healing myself. However, the wound seemed deeper than I thought. A whole day passed, and I was still trapped in the hole beneath the large tree."
"My body felt heavy, my wounds hadn’t fully healed, and to make matters worse, all the storage scrolls I carried—containing dried food—were ruined by water and blood. My stomach had been empty since yesterday, and hunger only added to my suffering."
"The second day arrived with little change. As night fell, fatigue and hunger began to overpower my resolve. I struggled to stay awake, but eventually, my consciousness slowly faded. Everything went dark..."
...
...
...
"The next day, I woke up with piercing anxiety. Not just from the pain in my body, but because I realized I was no longer inside the tree hole. Quickly, I tried to sit up, though my body was still weak. I became alert, my eyes scanning the surroundings."
"Not far from me, there were two ninja figures. A man and a woman. Both ninjas wore Konoha headbands. I stared at them suspiciously, my heart racing."
"Who are you?" I asked, trying to stay calm despite my weakened body.
The woman, who had a gentle smile on her face, stepped forward. "We mean you no harm," she said in a calm voice. "I can sense your distrust, but please, listen to my reason first."
