Multiversal Wanderer: Starting in Naruto-Chapter 17: 8,000 Yuan - No Waiting After the Deadline

"Oh, Li—Yunrui, right? Hahaha, are you healed already?" A short man with freckles covering his face smirked at Li Yunrui, looking proud of himself. "I'll be gentler this time. Hahaha, do you still want to compete?"

"If you guys hadn't been so shameless and ganged up on me, would I have lost so badly?" Li Yunrui retorted, unconvinced.

Across from him, alongside the freckled guy, stood a chubby man and a few others who looked somewhat ordinary. The freckled man let out a whistle, and soon a group of foreigners approached.

"Harry, what's going on? Something funny?" One of them laughed.

The team clenched their teeth at the sight of these arrogant foreign ability users. They were a bunch of low-level powered individuals who had been acting smug simply because they hadn't committed any major crimes. But it wasn't because they were law-abiding—just smart. If they had truly broken any laws, the Special Intelligence Bureau would have already dealt with them. After all, low-level ability users were no match for modern firearms.

"Oh, Li Yunrui is just one of these little hooligans?" Su Xiuyu's tone was indifferent. From what he could tell, both by observing their combat skills and sensing through his earth-manipulation abilities, they were complete amateurs.

The freckled leader, surprisingly, understood what Su Xiuyu had said. His expression darkened, and he cursed in heavily accented Mandarin. "Fu*k you!"

Su Xiuyu frowned and casually waved his hand. Instantly, dozens of stone pillars shot up from the ground, wrapping around the gang and dragging them onto the lawn like helpless insects caught in a web.

"What the hell is this? Harry, you didn't say there were high-level ability users!"

"Damn it, Tracy! You're a physical ability user—break free and save us!"

"I'm trying! I can't break loose!"

Su Xiuyu glanced at them and then looked up at the sky. "The weather's nice today. Let's bask in the sun a little." Without another word, he led his team away. "Let's head to the next stop."

Behind them, the captured gang cursed and shouted. The stone pillars wrapped around them even tighter, leaving only their heads exposed. No matter how much they struggled or screamed, it was useless. Soon, the pillars hardened into what looked like stone coffins, trapping them firmly in place.

"Captain... is this really okay?" Lei Gang asked in a hushed voice.

"They won't die," Su Xiuyu replied casually. "Let them figure out how to get themselves out."

Not long after, the gang started yelling for bystanders to call the police. When the Special Intelligence Bureau officers arrived, they were baffled by the sight. After all, this kind of ability wasn't something commonly seen outside of movies.

But when the officer in charge learned that the perpetrators had been subdued by a Special Operations Squad under the Secret Service, he immediately lost interest.

"Damn it! You Chinese people are so barbaric! I'm going to report this!" a fat foreigner spat angrily. "Harry, this is all your fault! You dragged us into this mess without knowing what we were up against!"

None of them were good people to begin with, and soon enough, they turned on each other, throwing blame left and right.

One of the Special Intelligence Bureau officers, Liang Jin, adjusted his glasses and sighed. "We handle major cases, not petty squabbles. Your lives aren't in danger, so this isn't our problem."

The foreigners continued to protest, but Liang Jin smirked. "Besides, you're trapped in solid rock. We don't have the means to break you out. Our department specializes in fire suppression, storming tactics, and demolitions. Unless you want us to blast you out with a rocket launcher, you're out of luck."

His tone was so nonchalant that the gang's faces twisted in anger.

"Oh, but don't worry," Liang Jin continued, still smirking. "We've already contacted Yangcheng Precision Machinery to handle it. They have professional equipment for this kind of thing. Of course, you'll be covering the costs yourselves." He glanced at his watch. "I have other duties to attend to. Goodbye, foreign friends."

With that, he and his team left, leaving the furious foreigners trapped and seething.

A while later, the technicians from Yangcheng Precision Machinery arrived. Even though they had been briefed in advance, they still couldn't help but laugh when they saw the ridiculous scene.

After inspecting the stone, one of the workers announced, "We'll need at least a dozen cutting machines. The rock is extremely tough, so this will take some effort."

"Hurry up and cut us out!"

"Yeah, can't you be faster?"

"Unless you want us to use high-pressure water jets—which might slice you in half—we have to do it this way," the technician said with a shrug. "Also, each of you needs to pay a labor fee of 8,000 yuan."

"What the hell? That's robbery!"

"You're free to refuse," the technician said indifferently. "We're a legitimate business. We don't force customers to buy our services. But I should warn you—rush hour is in three hours. There will be more onlookers by then. And if we have to work overtime, the price goes up."

"Damn it! Just get me out now! I'll pay!"

The workers quickly set up their equipment and began cutting the stone. By the time the first group was freed, it was already rush hour. A massive crowd had gathered, clogging the streets as people stopped to watch.

"So this is the power of an ability user... It's just like in the movies!"

"I know, right? Man, I wish I could awaken an ability too."

"If I had one, I'd want invisibility..."

"Invisibility is useless. You need something for combat!"

"You don't get it. Invisibility is every guy's dream."

"I feel like you're implying something inappropriate."

The crowd grew even rowdier, treating the trapped foreigners like a circus attraction. Some of the captured individuals grew furious, wanting to lash out at the spectators.

"Hey, Combada," a bearded Latino warned, "I wouldn't do anything stupid if I were you. Especially not against regular people. The consequences won't be a friendly warning—it'll be lethal."

"They wouldn't dare!"

The bearded man just shook his head with a knowing smile. "I've lived here for over ten years. I've seen what happens to people who don't know their place. Those who act recklessly in this country... they all end up badly. Think it over."

He didn't bother explaining further. Some people just couldn't help but dig their own graves.

It was just his bad luck that he happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and got caught up in this mess. Otherwise, he wouldn't have suffered this punishment.

Still, he wasn't too concerned. That powerful young man—Su Xiuyu—wasn't the type to hold petty grudges. He could tell. If someone really offended him, he wouldn't resort to small tricks—he'd just crush them outright.

"Some people don't understand patience," he muttered to himself. "But life has a way of teaching them."

----

It wasn't until 9 PM that all the people were finally rescued. In the end, each person had to pay 8,000 yuan on the spot before they were allowed to leave. Yangcheng TV extensively covered the incident in its evening news.

> "Today, a superpower-related incident occurred near the central street of Yangcheng. A suspected foreign superpowered individual was causing disturbances on the streets and was subdued by an agent from our city's Special Intelligence Bureau. Our station will continue to follow up on this matter, so please stay tuned for further reports."

In recent years, incidents involving supernatural abilities had started appearing in the media more frequently. At first, many dismissed them as rumors, but as time passed, TV stations began openly reporting on them. What was once gossip had now become a widely accepted reality, and people were eager to follow these stories.

This particular event attracted a lot of attention. Dozens of unfortunate individuals had been involved, and many bystanders had captured videos, which quickly spread online. The local Yangcheng TV station even released a high-definition report, where the expressions of the subdued individuals were clearly visible.

> "Is this one of our own superpowered individuals? He's so strong! Just a wave of his hand, and he takes down so many troublemakers. Love it!"

"Let's see if these foreigners dare to act arrogant in Yangcheng again!"

The ordinary citizens, driven by simple patriotism, felt a sense of satisfaction seeing these unruly foreigners humiliated.

Meanwhile, Su Xiuyu's team carried out a thorough sweep across Yangcheng. Regardless of which country these troublemakers came from, they were all imprisoned in highly visible locations using identical stone coffins. The Special Intelligence Bureau was then contacted for follow-up procedures.

This crackdown sent waves of panic among the foreign superpowered individuals in both Yangcheng and the neighboring city of Dongjun. Even the local superpowered individuals of Daqin began behaving cautiously. Many speculated that the higher-ups were planning a large-scale suppression of all supernatural beings and related organizations.

However, as the situation unfolded, it became clear that it was the work of a single team under the Yangcheng Special Intelligence Bureau. And with Su Xiuyu's overwhelming strength, every supernatural individual in Yangcheng now fully understood who was in charge of this land.

---

"Captain, you're too strong. No one can even come close to resisting you! How did you train your abilities? Do you have a secret technique?"

Li Yunrui and the rest of the team were completely in awe after witnessing Su Xiuyu in action. No matter who they faced, Su Xiuyu crushed them effortlessly. Every team member now looked up to him with admiration.

Su Xiuyu replied with a serious expression, "Honestly? I rarely train. My power mostly comes from talent... and, of course, good looks."

"Captain, come on! That's just cruel. If you don't want to teach us, fine—but don't rub it in our faces like that!"

"I'm serious," Su Xiuyu said. "It's not that I don't want to teach you; I just can't. My abilities can't be passed on to others."

He wasn't lying. Ninjas and regular humans might appear to be the same species, but in reality, they were vastly different. A normal human had about 40 to 60 trillion cells in their body, whereas a ninja had around 130 trillion. They were biologically distinct.

According to legend, chakra was introduced by Kaguya Otsutsuki, the ancestor of all ninjas. It wasn't something native to this world's inhabitants. Because of this, regular humans couldn't extract chakra. Without chakra as a foundation, all ninjutsu was nothing more than fantasy.

Su Xiuyu had only been able to awaken his Otsutsuki bloodline and gain ninja abilities because of the system. Even if he openly taught others the Chakra Refining Technique, they wouldn't be able to learn it. The only possibility would be if they entered the Naruto world and spent a long time adapting to its environment—perhaps then, they might develop the ability to use chakra.

"It's a pity you lack the right opportunities," Su Xiuyu said. "But don't be discouraged. The space-time wormhole in Dongjun City is your chance. The new wormhole leads to infinite possibilities and unknown worlds. Get ready. Our scheduled exploration is happening in a few days."

The team members had already speculated that Su Xiuyu's abilities were far too different from regular superpowers. It was likely that he had acquired them during an exploration mission into a wormhole. But getting something for nothing was just wishful thinking—everyone knew that true power required opportunity and risk.

Su Xiuyu didn't concern himself with the aftermath of his actions in the media or among the supernatural community. Instead, he left his team and headed toward Yangcheng Military Hospital.

That's right—he was going to visit Uchiha Chisato.

Following the nurse's directions, he found the young girl, now awake but silent.

"Hello, Chisato. I'm Su Xiuyu. You can also call me Uchiha Xiuyu," he introduced himself.

The nurse had informed him that Chisato had suffered serious injuries and needed extensive treatment. However, even after regaining consciousness, she hadn't spoken a single word. No matter who approached her, she remained silent and expressionless. The medical staff had even suspected that she might have suffered brain damage.

Chisato's eyes remained indifferent as she finally spoke. "Prove it to me."

"Prove that you are worthy of the Uchiha name. Otherwise, how do I know you didn't just hear that word from someone else?"

Without hesitation, Su Xiuyu activated his Sharingan. "Is this proof enough?"

The moment Chisato saw the three-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes, her expression broke. Tears streamed down her face as she trembled.

"I finally found one of my own... I was so scared," she said, her voice shaking. "When I woke up, I was surrounded by strangers—people who looked different, spoke differently... and none of them had Sharingan. Everything I knew was gone. I was terrified... afraid that I would never find my family, my clan, or anything familiar again."

Her body shook as she wiped her tears. "Can I trust you, Xiuyu? I've been waiting so long... I finally see someone from my clan."

Seeing her tearful face, Su Xiuyu sighed. He hadn't considered how terrifying it must have been for a young girl to wake up alone in a completely unfamiliar world.

"I'm sorry, Chisato," he said softly. "I should have taken you out of the hospital sooner. That was my mistake."

He paused before continuing, "You remember what happened before, right? You were ambushed by the Kaguya Clan and the Blood Pond Clan on the battlefield. You were gravely injured and on the verge of death."

Chisato nodded.

"I saved you while you were unconscious," Su Xiuyu explained. "You never saw me before because... well, it's complicated. But I'm here now. I'll take you away from here. Please, trust me."

Chisato looked at him, eyes filled with emotion. Then, she wiped her tears and stood up.

"Let's go," she said firmly. "I'm grateful to the doctors who saved my life, but I don't belong here. I trust you, Brother Xiuyu."
