A white hair man y in the bed, trembling and vulsing. His hands were holding onto the bars on the side of the bed, eyes wide shot from the exhirating pain. Sweat build up on his face, as his blue eyes seemed to take an even deeper shade of blue. The man roared in agony, banging his head against the bead.
His muscles seemed to move on their own like there were numerous worms eating him apart. His injuries opened, causing blood to explode like a torrent, dreng the white mattress and turning it crimson. The ma screaming, eyes rolling. A ragged breath escaped from the man’s mouth.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.”
The ma screaming. He was grinding his teeth, almost choking on the blood that appeared in his mouth, for no apparent reason. The man had to turn his head to not choke on the blood, but that movement alo a spiral of pain across his body. Attracted by the screams, Nagato, who was stationed outside, rushed into the room.
“Bke! What the hell is happening?!” Nagato’s hands were already orying to stop the man from trembling. “ you hear me?! Bke!”
Nagato kept shouting, but Bke didn’t register his voice, for it seemed so far away. So out of reach. Bke grabbed Nagato’s hands, gripping them with sutensity that a normal person’s hand would have broken. Nagato scowled in pain, pushing chakra into the pces where Bke was gripping him.
Only then did Nagato notice the torrent happening within Bke, as his muscles vulsed. Nagato narrowed his eyes, hearing the crag of bones and the stant stream of blood. Yet, Nagato noticed something else as well. Bke’s right hand, whiagato thought he couldn’t move anymore, was trashing around like it was new. Despite the blood, the myriad of injuries on Bke’s body were closing in. They were healing.
Even though Nagato was not uanding what was happening, he realized that it art of Bke’s strange power. He remember the report where Bke had healed himself in the prison. Nagato’s thoughts were disturbed by another roar from Bke, who was staring at the ceiling like there was some creature lingering above him.
“Keep pushing! Don’t give up!” Nagato created two es, each of them holding onto Bke, stopping him from falling from the bed. “You do it!”
The words of enced struck Bke, and some crity returo his gaze. Suddenly, he roared, yet it was a different kind of shout. A shout of defianagato kept shouting and holding Bke, whilst the blonde haired man fought against the pain. And then, out of nowhere, Bke stopped moving.
Nagato stared at Bke, who spent a few more sed looking at the ceiling. Bke’s gaze moved towards Nagato and smiled. Then he mumbled something.
“What?” Nagato leaned forward.
“Water.” Bke whispered, his breath ragged.
Without a sed of thought, Nagato took out a water fsk, which Bke draio the bottom. Nagato’s eyes were still ed, but Bke gave him a nod. “It is fine now, Nagato. Thank you. I think I would have lost myself if not for you.”
Nagato kept his gaze on Bke’s cerulean eyes. “What the hell are you, Bke?”
Bke shook his head. “I am just but a mere man.”
Sighing, Nagato looked at his body. “All of your injuries have been healed. Even the hand that we thought was a lost cause.”
Bke gnced down at his body. The bandages had ripped from his body as his muscles expanded, ah them remained only scars. Bke’s eyes moved towards his right hand, which was raised, iionally. There was a nasty scar on his right arm now, but he could move it without any difficulty. “Good news for me.” Bke smiled in relief.
“Does this happeime you e back from that door? Or…does this happen when you get a new summon?” Nagato tried to make sense of the situation. “It looked like your body was transf.”
Bke nodded, not seeing the point of keeping this a secret. “Yeah, happens after I get a new summon. It hasn’t been that bad though.”
“But…” Nagato sed Bke’s body again. There was a new yer of muscle on Bke’s body, which was much more robust. From the sight before, Nagato guessed that even Bke’s bones had been fortified. Yet, the biggest ge was the chakra, for it rippled much more intensely within Bke. In the end, Nagato didn’t finish his sentenot knowing what to say.
“Only through pain we advance, right?” Bke kept his smile, finally regaining his trol over the body. He could feet it – the exploding power that came with the transformation. He wao run and jump and fight.
Putting a hand on his forehead, Nagato sighed again. “You are a crazy man, Bke. Crazy and strange. I uand that you might not want to talk about your peculiar power, but I must ask…did you get a good summon?”
This time, Bke smiled like a pirate stumbling upon treasure. “Better than I expected.”
Nagato smiled too.
Before he could ask another question, Bke stood up. All of the bandages fell to the ground, revealing his ripped body. His eyes gleamed with blue colour and Nagato squinted his eyes, seeing sweat burning on his body and turning into vapor. Bke him. “I will devise a pn by tomorrow. We shall strike Hanzo back.”
Nagato nodded. “Thank you, Bke.”
“No, thank you, Nagato. You saved me.”
Nagato shook his head. “I didn’t do much. It was all you. I ’t imagine going through that agony.” Nagato then turned around. “I will give you some time aloo take a breather and dress up. Lunch is going to be ready in an hour.”
“I will be there.” Bke flexed his right arm, feeling ris in its movement.
Nagato left the room, leaving Bke alone, who performed a few abnormally high jumps. Then, he did a few push ups with ease. “This is great.” Bke was shocked at how well his injuries healed. He opehe system.

“Am I happy?” Bke asked himself, breaking into a grin. “No, I am freakied!”
He had gotten Shai-Hulud as his sed summon. A huge mohat spawns over a kilometer ih from one of his favourite stories, Duhe creature was definitely a monster of another caliber, and Bke received huge power up from the 10% increase in attributes. Not only that, but sihe worm was non-intelligent, or rather, it was simply operating based on instinct, it didn’t have a wish!
He wouldn’t even have to go to the other world, yet he didn’t get another roll immediately anyway, for the dice seemed to o recharge. It made sense. heless, Bke was extremely tent with his roll, and his luck had seemed to help him finally. Thankfully, the worm didn’t appear here, as the system notified him that there was not enough space. If it did, everyone in this base would get squashed, including him.
As for the skill that he had gained…
Bke willed the panel with Shai-Hulud to open.

The presence of Shai-Hulud naturally spawns Sandrouts. The Sandtrouts absorb and vert water and moisture into a form that is highly trated with chakra energy. They bind with moisture, f a dense, drying region that eventually bees a desert. The Sandtrout essentially "dry up" the nd, creating a wastend where Spice form.

This allows Shai-Hulud to ambush enemies or escape dangerous situations by disappearing into the earth before resurfag anywhere otlefield.
Bke couldn’t remove the grin from his face. The creature was a monster, and the possibilities were endless. It was like he had his own unique Biju, though no one in the world knew about it. Just like that, with one roll of the dice, Bke jumped onto the chess board with big pyers.
But that was not all. The worm was not oremely powerful, but also had other uses. It could create spice, araordinary drug that heightehe ses, improved strength temporarily and even gave an ability to see ss of the future. For a shinobi in Naruto, it would be like experieng a new world. Not only that, if Bke orchestrated everything well, he could create a monopoly over spice, get rid live like a king!
“Alright, that’s pushing it a bit.” Bke stated, though the thoughts didn’t escape his mind. He wanted something good, and got somethiraordinary instead. “And, with Shai-Hulud, dealing with Hanzo doesn’t seem so impossible now. If I phing well, we …win.”
Determination gleamed in Bke’s eyes. Silently, he closed his eyes, feeling whatever there was to be felt. He trated. [Resonance Sense]. Bke didn’t see anyone, yet he felt them. He could sehe ripples of people walking around, he could sense Nagato walking down the hall, he could sense Konan training in another room, he could sense everyohin their base, log them easily.
Hell, he could sense people that weren’t even walking. Their chakra infused feet sent ripples within the ground, and Bke could locate them easily. Expanding his vision, Bke pushed the skill to its limits. Despite the distance, Bke could feel people walking above them, unknowing that the Akatsuki were hidih. He could sehe rain hitting the ground, creating little ripples as they ected with the t.
It was like he had unlocked a third eye.
“Incredible.” Bke stated. Now, the possibility of someone ing close to him without him knowing were zero. Hell, the parameter that he could cover with his skill was huge. And that was not all…once he practised with it, he would be able to detect skills that were ing from below before they even hit him.
It was almost scary. And great, of course. Best of all, his injuries had healed, despite having to gh an agony. He could move his right hand almost perfectly and his chakra reserves had increase slightly. His arsenal of attack has increased, and, at the same time, their survival became much more possible.
Bke’s mind raced with ideas, taking into at all of the issues at hand. Hanzo the Samander in pursuit, Danzo hiding behind the ses and Obito awaiting the moment to make things worse than possible. It was a tough situation, but after the magical survival in the dungeon, nothing seemed impossible anymore.
Especially when you had a full team of scary, experienced shinobi that were going to do the killing for you.
“Alright, enough lingering, let’s go and face them.” Bke spped his cheeks, quickly log the attire prepared for him. A fully bck gown with a hood, which covered all of his nasty scars. Bke flexed one more time, trying to appear as fident as possible(which wasn’t the easiest thing to do) as he thehe room.
In a few minutes, Bke, was standing in front of the entrao their DIY cafeteria, aided by rade whose name Bke couldn’t remember. Bke tried to check the time on his phone, but it was dead, for ond, maybe, for all. Taking a deep breath, Bke the guard a inside.
The quiet otion happening iurned into silence. Immediately, everynized Bke, his white hair and blue eyes, which trasted his dark attire and a metal band on his shoulder. It was silent for a few seds, before the hall exploded into a roar. Well, to be fair, it was fairly quiet anyway, sihey were hiding.
“Bke!”
“The Unseeh!”
“I was telling you he didn’t just leave us when times gh.”
“I heard that he was heavily injured from whatever pce he came back, he looks okay to me.”
Bke heard a few more ents, but it was holy overwhelming. Everyone was looking at him, and Bke spotted Konan, Yahiko and Nagato sitting on the ground in the er. He wao rush towards immediately, yet everyo staring at him and their murmurs stopped. Now, they were just looking.
‘They wao say something.’ Bke thought, not knowing how to feel. It was fair, he had just disappeared out of nowhere and noeared. They knew barely anything, for Yahiko, with Bke’s advice, didn’t share much with the rest of the group. They didn’t know why they were hiding, why Hanzo was hunting them when their retionship wasn’t even bad.
They wao know at least something, and it seemed that Bke was the person who was chosen to say that something. Bke gulped slightly, but didn’t show his turmoil. He wasn’t an expert on giving speeches. Hell, he didn’t do that well in public talking. Yet, it seemed he didn’t have a choice.
Yahiko Bke.
“Thank you for such a warm wele, friends. I means more than you think.” Bke stated, gng at everyohin the room, as they stared at him, some of them g again. Clearing his throat, Bke tinued. “I uand that you might in a bit of fusion with the ret events within the Akatsuki, especially since Yahiko didn’t say anything, as per my request.”
The ears perked up.
“While there is lot to say, I am going to keep this short and simple. Hanzo was not the hero or the person that you have imagined. He wao betray us, and he would have, uhe crucial ihat we have received.” Bke turned serious. “I won’t bore you with details right now, but we have attracted some attention from enemies, whom I personally wouldn’t want to eh. Yet, it happened, and now we have to deal with it.”
The shinobi within the room murmured with each other, finally realizing the extent of the dahe mood was getting worse, but Bke raised a hand. “Please let me finish.” Bke put on his hardest expression, as everyone listened.
“My disappearance was the cause of this issue. I went on a exhibition to find something that would enable us to fight bad hopefully overe this obstacle.” Bke frowned. “It was difficult. It is a miracle I survived, and I have gained a new perspective on battles, as well as the danger of actually engaging in a fight. Not going to lie to you guys, I am gd I am just a mere strategist, killing is not my forte.”
Everyone chuckled slightly.
“The point is – I did find that something. I found a way for us survive, perhaps even win. And now I am going to start devising a proper pn as soon possible. However, I still need your trust and itment. This is not going to be a mission like others. Casualties are perhaps iable. Yet, I assure you, I did and will do everything in my capabilities to make this work.”
The mood was getting ba, as some people began to bang their feet on the ground, which, to Bke third sense, was like a shockassing through his body.
“However, I ’t just ask your to follow me blindly. I am not Yahiko, not a leader, so I ’t force you to do something. Therefore, I will simply ask a simple question…do you trust me?”
More shinobi began to bang their feet on the ground, as some even shouted immediately.
“Do you want to get rid of Hanzo the Traitor and uhe Rain Vilge uhe Akatsuki name?”
All of the shinobi were banging their feet on the ground, their faces resolute and fiery. They kept their mouths silent, but the silence was heavy. Bke felt their emotions, he could feel their fury with the resonations ing from the ground.
“Then we are going to fight.” Bke took off his hood. “And we are going to win.”
