secret technique.

"Hahhhhhhhhhhhh..."

'Unbelievable, I ran out of chakra and I'm very tired but my body can still stand up'

Then I return to focus on Satsuki who is fainting wrapped in vines.

'Fortunately she was weak at the last moment because otherwise my attack would not have worked on her'

I accidentally discovered this trick a long time ago while getting injured; I could use my Wood: Rope Style skill using my blood as a medium but this had to be as fresh as possible because on the contrary if too much time passed and the blood coagulated too much then it would lose its conduction of my skill more and more.

Normally I don't reveal my mokuton ability because I know from my memories that if certain people find out about me then I'll be in a lot of trouble and right now I don't have the strength to resist so I've always tried to keep it as secret as possible.

Luckily this is the desolate Uchiha clan and I don't think anyone other than Satsuki would be willing to come here.

Then I see the center of the explosion located in the center of the street that strangely did not get to touch any house and spread the fire.

So with the strength left in my body I clean up a bit of the scene and take Satsuki inside a house a bit far from the scene of the fight.

Then I look around the house a bit and realize that she has a basement.

Then I quickly drag her into the basement.

With all the vines already attached to her body that make her movement impossible, all I have to do is use a little bit of the chakra that I currently have to stick her on the wall.

Luckily the wood style requires little chakra for it to use its abilities.

Then after finishing sticking it on the wall I suddenly drop to one knee.

"ugh"

Then I see that all my vision is suddenly blurred, I feel that some parts of my body start to tremble slightly.

The body is so tired that another person would have passed out a long time ago but suddenly he spends his chakra (PS: rubbing hundreds of how stupid this guy is) which causes him to abuse his limit and the result is that the body begins to fail by not responding to the brain's responses.

Then I stagger to my feet to leave the basement.

Obviously it is impossible for my body to resist for so long in this state so there was external and internal help respectively.

One would be the berserker ability that helps reduce pain and increase stamina and the other would be the rings.

Before starting the fight I had silently activated the rings raising all my possible attributes.

And it is for these reasons that I can continue to be conscious until now, but everything has a limit and I have already found mine.

*fall*

Suddenly my leg gives out and it falls off.

'Shit, it's too late, I wanted to hide in another location but I see that it won't be possible'

When the energy of my body runs out the rings will automatically deactivate but so will my vital organs and since there is no energy I will most likely die silently.

I then silently deactivate my rings causing me to pass out immediately.

...

Then I raise my eyelids and I realize that I am lying on the floor while I contemplate that the environment is dark.

I feel a feeling of extreme tiredness in my body.

My eyes are burning while slightly hot.

"Water"

I feel very thirsty and hungry right now.

Ignoring everything else I open my system to find water to drink.

So I quickly pull out a bottle.

Reinforced water.

*glu* *glu* *glup*

"Hahh...just what I needed"

The reason why I drink this is because it is one of the most normal liquid water containing items in my inventory.

So I try to get up.

With a bit of difficulty I made it.

My body wobbles a bit but it's acceptable.

So I start groping around the place and just find a couple of lamps.

'There are matches missing but luckily I have them in my inventory'

*light match*

After lighting the two lamps I head towards the basement.

If you ask why I have two lamps, well the reason is because they are unidirectional and only illuminate one side and another would be that two illuminate more than one.

'I wonder how Satsuki is doing?'

I just woke up unharmed which means she didn't come out of the basement because if she had then I doubt she would have missed me.

Then when I go down I shine my flashlight forward and I see that she is in a bunch of vines attached to the wall.

Then flashbacks come back to when we fought and I remember the scene when she ambushed me with a kunai and then the subsequent encounters that followed.

Then I suddenly realize something.

You see in some scenes she could perfectly ambush me with a smoke bomb beforehand but she didn't.

It seemed that he wanted to save energy to resist more in the fight but if there is something I am sure of Satsuki it is that she is a daughter of destiny for which it reminds me of scenes from web novels where the protagonist used a sharpening stone to his enemies suffering the other skills to be able to improve or hone their skills.

'Am I a whetstone?'

Thinking like that somehow makes me feel offended.

"So I'm supposed to be the first villain? The typical one who serves as a springboard to the protagonist's successful life?"

Thinking about this somehow makes me feel a bit angry and helpless.

Because if this is so, it means that I cannot do anything to this girl because there is a high probability that she will receive some curse or reaction from destiny, making my life more miserable than it already is.

So the most viable path would be to let her loose right now.

But even knowing this I refused to leave this girl like that, because after all she almost killed me and I didn't like that at all.
