Naruto: Uchiha Survivor Forced to Save the Shinobi World

In the blink of an eye, the black shadow, as swift as lightning, landed in front of Karin.

Karin's heart skipped a beat.

The figure bore clear demon-like features, with the kanji for "Upper Moon Six" etched in his eyes. The smell of blood emanating from him, along with the violent chakra he wielded, was far more intense than any demon she'd faced before!

"This is an incredibly powerful demon!"

In an instant, Karin made that basic assessment.

Next, she noticed the Hidden Grass jōnin being held in the grip of this "Upper Moon Six." The Hidden Grass shinobi was covered in blood and appeared on the brink of death.

She recognized him.

This jōnin was the one Hidden Grass had dispatched to assist her—a highly esteemed leader from Hidden Grass.

Yet here he was, being treated like livestock, casually held by "Upper Moon Six."

"Hmm, this outfit of yours..." After glancing at Karin, "Upper Moon Six" grinned. "So you're the one after us, huh!"

It was clear that this newly appointed "Upper Moon Six" had recognized Karin as a member of Akatsuki by her clothing.

The Hidden Grass jōnin, still in "Upper Moon Six's" grasp, looked at Karin, coughing blood and laughing, "This is a member of Akatsuki. You, demon, are ready to die!"

Karin's face twisted in discomfort.

The injured Hidden Grass jōnin had obviously failed to recognize her, mistaking her for a member of Akatsuki in charge of the test.

"Hmph!" "Upper Moon Six" snorted, throwing the Hidden Grass shinobi harshly to the ground before turning his attention to Karin. "Everyone keeps saying to be wary of those wearing the red cloud cloak, but I'm sick of all those useless warnings!"

Feeling the heat of his killing intent, Karin instinctively took a step back.

Seeing this, "Upper Moon Six" began to laugh, "Is that all there is to it?! Today, after I devour you, I'll apply to switch to Blood Battle rank! Remember this, the demon who will consume you is called Kaiaku!"

This wasn't Karin's first time facing a demon.

But previously, no matter how dire the situation, Shinji and Haku had always been by her side.

Now, she was alone—facing this savage demon—with an unknown number of demons lurking in the cave ahead, making the fear in her heart indescribable.

Demons were especially sensitive to fear, and Kaiaku approached Karin with a malicious grin. "I'm going to rip off your head and present it to the lord! I'm sure the lord will love this gift!"

Karin took two more steps back.

At that moment, the Hidden Grass jōnin, battered and barely clinging to life after being thrown to the ground, also realized something was wrong with Karin.

"What's up with this Akatsuki member? Could she be an imposter?"

He was filled with anxiety.

He knew that his only hope of survival lay in this Akatsuki member. If she was also killed by the demon calling himself Kaiaku, then he was as good as dead.

Feeling confident in his impending victory, Kaiaku drew his blood-stained long sword, eager to taste the blood and flesh of this Akatsuki member before him.

Karin's fear reached its peak. She no longer retreated; instead, she unleashed her dojutsu with all her might, activating "Susanoo!"

In an instant, a red Susanoo appeared on the cliffside.

First, the skeleton formed, then the tendons, muscles, and finally, the gigantic Susanoo donned thick armor.

Seeing the suddenly appearing Susanoo, both Kaiaku and the Hidden Grass jōnin were stunned.

They had both heard of Susanoo through various means.

But hearing about it was one thing, seeing it with their own eyes was another.

As they stood in awe, the red Susanoo that enveloped Karin suddenly let out a sky-shaking roar.

ROAR!

With this roar, which seemed capable of shaking their very souls, the half-bodied Susanoo transformed once again.

The massive Susanoo suddenly grew legs and stood up.

As it stood, its height—originally dozens of meters—doubled, making it difficult for both Kaiaku and the Hidden Grass jōnin to even look up to see it.

And that wasn't all!

The standing armored Susanoo clapped its empty hands together, and when they opened, a huge red spear appeared in its grasp.

Inside the Susanoo, Karin also floated upwards, slowly rising into the crystal space in the forehead of the Susanoo.

From this perspective, Karin, wearing her red cloud cloak, seemed like a deity!

Her eyes, blazing with an eerie light, were so intense that they couldn't be concealed by her mask. Even a distant gaze would send shivers down one's spine.

"Is this really the strength of an Akatsuki member?"

The Hidden Grass jōnin suddenly felt foolish for doubting the power of an Akatsuki member.

What puzzled him was that the information gathered by the village during the Five Kage Summit indicated that the Uchiha clan's Susanoo didn't look like this.

The Susanoo before him was simply too large!

As a newly appointed "Upper Moon Six," Kaiaku was trembling with fear.

A moment ago, his prey was trembling before him; the next, she had become as powerful as a god—he had no idea how to react.

From above.

Karin looked down at Kaiaku, still full of fear, her dojutsu surging under the pressure of her terror.

Her Mangekyō Sharingan contained the dojutsu called "Susanoo Tomoshibi."

The ability was simple: the left eye's "Susanoo Tomoshibi" enhanced the power of Susanoo, while the right eye's "Susanoo Tomoshibi" reduced the consumption of Susanoo.

She had managed to use her Mangekyō Sharingan to activate an almost fully complete Susanoo thanks to her left eye's "Susanoo Tomoshibi" ability.

In other words, under the influence of her fear, she activated all her dojutsu, pushing her Susanoo to its utmost limits without hesitation!

Shwip!

With a swift motion, the nearly complete Susanoo thrust down its spear, piercing Kaiaku along with the entire cliff beneath his feet!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Soon, the entire mountain collapsed.

The tremendous commotion attracted a large number of demons guarding the anchor point.

These demons, who initially intended to tear apart the intruder, were stunned when they looked up at the enormous Susanoo.

Karin, driving the Susanoo, trampled the demons en masse with the force of an earthquake.

Among the wails of the demons, amidst the collapsing mountain, under the gaze of the shivering Hidden Grass jōnin hiding among the ruins, Karin, controlling the Susanoo, shouted in her heart, "I'm so scared! What should I do? What should I do now?!"
