"Oni-chaan, is that you? I'm scared! It's so dark. waaah I'm scared"

Yuta thought that the stupid system had brought him a random low-powered girl from a world with monsters. The girl in front of him looked like no monster he had ever seen in anime. Moreover, she didn't seem to have as good eyesight as he did in this dark place.

"Hey!"

Yuta continued to approach the girl, troubled by the thought that he might have ruined a girl's life because of his system.

"Oni-chan, is that you?"

"No, I'm not your brother, but I'm here to protect you."

"Oni-chan, it is very dark here. Please help me."

Yuta frowned when he heard her call him brother again, but continued to approach her.

When she couldn't find anything around her to touch, she fearfully sat down on the ground and hugged her knees. Meanwhile, Yuta was confused because even if there was no light source around, he could already see everything clearly.

"sniffle... I-I don't want to be alone... sob... It's so dark... Waaah... P-Please, someone... hic... Help me...!"

Yuta thought it was pointless to keep her waiting like this, so he approached her and the distance between them decreased to almost a meter.

"Hey, I'm here to save you, take my hand, everything will be fine."

The girl stopped pretending when she realized that Yuta's voice was coming very close. As the girl raised her head and jumped towards Yuta, her exposed arms and face were covered with strange veins.

As her sharp teeth emerged and were about to bite Yuta in the neck, a fist covered in red flames slammed into her face, knocking her back a few meters.

The girl rolled a few meters and then sat up in a disgusting position. Her innocent appearance had completely disappeared, her skin was covered with green veins and her nails had grown long and sharp. The girl slowly turned her head in the direction of the yuta and said, "How did you notice? More importantly, what kind of demon hunter are you, where is your katana?"

"What kind of girl would be so comfortable being approached by a man she knows is not her brother? You're not very good at pretending, and even if you were a real little girl, I would have to kill you first to get you out of here."

Yuta could tell what world she was from by the way she looked and what she said about the demon hunter. Remembering the well-known demons of the demon hunter world, Yuta guessed that this girl was an ordinary demon, but this guess did not change the fact that if he could not defeat her, she would slowly eat him.

Yuta raised his hands again and let his fists burn with cursed energy, hoping that the girl before him, an ordinary demon, was incapable of healing herself.

"Hahaha, you are an interesting kid. I thought you were a simple food, but it looks like you are the kind of fun food"

Yuta was looking at his profile screen to check how low his cursed energy was when he heard the demon girl's voice and snapped to attention. Yuta turned his head towards the demon girl and saw something he didn't want to see.

The previous punch filled with cursed energy had disfigured her head a bit, but now her jaw moved on its own and was completely healed.

Yuta had already confirmed that his cursed energy was working on the demon, and remembering the information from his previous life, he realized that he only had two choices now.

He has to use his cursed energy to cut or sever the girl's neck, if that doesn't work he will have to beat her until she loses her ability to heal again, but this possibility is not very realistic because it is more likely that his cursed energy will run out before that happens.

Yuta stared intently at the demon girl in front of him while the demon girl stared back. The pain from Yuta's blow could still be felt by the demon girl. The pain the demon girl had felt since she became a demon was much less than when she was human, but the pain of the punch she had just received was unlike any other pain.

As the seconds ticked by, the tension between the two grew stronger and stronger. Finally, it was the demon girl who lost patience and attacked.

The moment Yuta started running over the demon girl, he realized that his opponent had much higher physical attributes than him. Although Yuta successfully dodged the first punch thrown by the demon girl, she stopped her movement and Yuta was too late to react when she opened her hand and swung her claws in the opposite direction.

Yuta quickly stepped back and looked at the source of the burning mark on his chest and saw three claw marks running the length of his chest. Yuta was worried and wondered if he would turn into a demon like in the anime. Finally, realizing that he would not know the answer until it was too late, he injected a large amount of cursed energy into his fists and ran towards her.

Now there was no choice for Yuta but to kill the demon girl before he turned into a demon himself. Actually, Yuta couldn't remember exactly what manga series he had read since it had been a long time since he had read it, because, in the Demon Slayer series, people had to be directly injected with blood by a powerful demon or Kibustsuji Muzan to turn into demons.

As the demon girl jumped on Yuta, she opened her arms and tried to hug him. If she could catch Yuta, surely that demon hunter wouldn't stand a chance.

As her arms were about to catch Yuta, who was much slower than her, a strange shadow appeared under Yuta's feet and pulled him in.

As she missed her target and fell to the ground, Yuta stepped out of the shadows about four meters behind her. When the girl sensed his presence and turned to him, she saw that Yuta's arm was covered in red fire, the next second Yuta screamed and swung his arm in her direction as if to cut her off.

Yuta's arm went from one end to the other and the red fire covering his arm shot out in a thin slash towards her. The girl paled in horror at the sight of a swordsman making a sword attack on her without using a sword, and the speed of the sword attack was too fast for her to dodge.

She tried to retreat, following her instincts, but the red crescent was flying towards her. When the girl saw the red crescent attack about to hit her, she thought it was the end of her. She had underestimated her opponent because he was a child and now she was being punished.

Yuta was equally excited when he saw the red crescent about to hit her, but Yuta's attack disappeared right in front of her. Yuta had used both his slash technique and injected extra cursed energy into his technique to execute this attack. So this attack had cost him almost two hundred points of cursed energy.

She expected to die, but when she saw him disappear in mid-air just in front of her attack move, she lost her balance and fell on her ass.

Yuta quickly recovered and rushed into the shadows and the shadow on the ground quickly moved towards her while she was still in shock.

When the demon girl saw the shadow rushing towards her, she immediately tried to stand up. She didn't know what had caused the boy's earlier attack to disappear, but she had lived too long and had honed her sixth sense too long to think it was a simple diversion.

Unfortunately, her reaction speed was not enough to prevent a hand emerging from the shadows from grabbing her leg and pulling her underground.

She felt her body floating in a not-so-viscous liquid, but that was not as important as the sight of two glowing eyes staring at her in the darkness and a fist surrounded by a red flame closing in on her face.

In the next second, the demon girl's position shifted from predator to prey, even a test sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Yuta used all his remaining cursed energy to repeatedly strike her neck, trying to snap it. Unfortunately, Yuta's remaining cursed energy did not allow him to use the slash technique again.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

As the minutes passed, the demon girl's struggles slowed and the pieces of her neck began to float freely in the shadow field.

With a warning from the system, the arena disappeared and a small boy appeared in the woods behind the Konoha.

Yuta lay there motionless for a long time, inhaling and exhaling deeply as if he wanted to inhale all the oxygen in the forest. He had always described himself as passionate about his work, ruthless, and funny, but what he had just experienced was spoiling his impression of himself.

He had always thought that he would never avoid a fight if necessary, but as he looked up at the blue sky he realized that was a lie. He didn't want to fight unless it was a last resort, maybe the system knew that Yuta didn't want to fight when the summoning beast was giving him the lottery right in abundance.

Yuta remembered the feeling of punches and claws ripping a little girl's throat out, and suddenly he sat up and vomited at the base of the tree next to him. The battle was already over and the adrenaline hormone refused to carry Yuta's useless ass.

After Yuta had finished vomiting, he realized that his hands were still covered in blood. Turning his head a little more, he realized that his hands were not the only thing covered in blood. His body was completely covered with the demon girl's blood, but after a few seconds, the blood on his body was affected by the sunlight and began to turn to ash.

In just ten seconds, most of the blood stains on Yuta's body had disappeared. All that remained were the claw-shaped tears in his clothes and the blood stains around them. The largest of these marks was a scar. The rest were small claw marks from the last struggle.

[ Congratulations you have your first summoned creature, will you give it a name (if you refuse, the default name will be used) ]

Yuta stared briefly at the screen in front of him and refused to name it. He was not in the mood to name a pet right now.

The next moment a man's voice reached Yuta's ears as his brain was injected with the name of the demon he had just fought and information about his past.

"Child, what happened to you?"

Yuta turned his head towards the source of the voice and a second after coming face to face with the ninja wearing an animal mask, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious from the exhaustion of his cursed energy.

"Are you mad? What were you doing so far away? Did you really think I was going to kill you or something, so you ran so far away in fear of me?"

As Tsunade continued to shout angrily at the boy lying on the hospital bed, Jiraya and Hiruzen simultaneously rolled their eyes upon hearing Tsunade's last sentence. In their opinion, it was a better choice for the boy to run away than to face an angry Tsunade.

Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted Tsunade, who planned to continue berating Yuta and asked Yuta again about the source of his injuries.

As Yuta was about to sit up in bed, Tsunade pressed him back down with one hand, and Yuta helplessly answered the Hokage's question.

"Yes, a big bird appeared and attacked me. After fighting the bird for a long time, it flew away without looking back."

Sarutobi frowned and listened to the same answer once more. Meanwhile, he was carefully watching the boy's expression. Sarutobi believed that if a child of this age was going to lie to him, he would surely notice.

Sarutobi narrowed his eyes, looking for the slightest hint of lying, and asked, "And how did your body heal?"

Since Tsunade had made quite a mess while looking for Yuta, all the important ninjas who were not currently on the front line were in this room, all the important ninjas except Danzo, Minato, and Sakumo... Danzo had just left this morning to secure his position as the next Hokage, while Sakumo had already been on the front line for almost a month. Minato was still not important enough.

Everyone present perked up their ears at Sarutobi's question because they all wanted to know the answer to the same question.

When Tsunade heard her teacher's question, she felt the need to intervene angrily because she had not yet told Yuta how to keep secrets, and whatever was going on was likely to be Yuta's biggest trump card in the future.

"You all need to disperse now! Yuta needs to rest. Besides, are you here to interrogate him, old monkey?"

A vein of anger appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's forehead when he heard the word old monkey, but Yuta said he could answer that question and the vein in Sarutobi's head instantly disappeared.

"After the bird disappeared, a red-haired woman came up to me and told me to bite her arm. Of course, I didn't want to do that, but she forced me to hold my head and warm her arm, and then I felt like I had drunk something hot and then I started vomiting. When I looked up again, someone was wearing a strange mask on my head and I don't remember what happened next."

At first, Tsunade would have kept Yuta's mouth shut even if it made people suspicious of her, but when she heard the red-haired woman's words, she became one of the people listening to Yuta.

Immediately after the Hokage heard Yuta's words, he mobilized the Anbu ninjas in the room with a secret eyebrow movement.

Everyone who heard Yuta's words realized that this was one of the abilities of the mysterious Uzumaki clan. Besides, there was no other way to explain such a miraculous recovery.

"Leave the boy to rest and come to my office to attend the meeting."

As the Hokage's words echoed through the room, everyone quickly cleared the room, leaving Tsunade and Yuta behind. No one seemed to doubt Yuta's lie, except for Orochimaru, who stopped and looked at Yuta for a second as he left the room.

After everyone had left, Tsunade sat on the end of the bed with her back to Yuta and remained silent for a while.

At first, Yuta thought she was trying to suppress her anger, but the shaking of the bed and the barely audible sniffling made him realize that Tsunade was crying.

Tsunade had recently lost her brother, her last relative, and Sakumo had brought Yuta into Tsunade's life when she was in an emotional vacuum. When Yuta saw Tsunade crying, he realized that she was more attached to him than she had realized.

Yuta quietly got up from his bed, approached Tsunade from behind and hugged her. Seeing someone so concerned about him had touched Yuta a little after all.

When Tsunade felt Yuta's warmth, she stopped feeling embarrassed, turned around, and pressed Yuta to her breast.

___________________ Meanwhile, in the Hokage office

At the call of Sarutobi Hiruzen, all the Anbu ninjas on the loose began to search the four corners of Konoha.

The idea of a Uzumaki clan sneaking through Konoha's barrier and living in hiding in Konoha was not at all impossible. Moreover, if a Uzumaki ninja had actually done it, it meant that she was a highly skilled and knowledgeable Uzumaki ninja.

As the Hokage waited for news from the ninja, he secretly hoped that this Uzumaki ninja would be mature enough to realize the truth and bow her head and surrender instead of holding a grudge against Konoha.

If this woman chose not to hold a grudge against Konoha, it would not only help them calm the Jinchuriki, who were currently going through an emotionally difficult time, but they would also have a gateway to the wisdom of the Uzumaki clan.

As Sarutobi contemplated silently executing her and taking over her mind in case she held a grudge against Konoha, he sighed deeply and said that everything was for Konoha.

Of course, Sarutobi was not wrong. If this woman was able to break through the village barrier on her own, she was smart enough to think and realize the secrets behind the Uzumaki clan's destruction. If this woman did not surrender to the greatness of Konohan, it would be impossible to harbor her in the village.

Every Konoha villager who got close to this woman would learn the truth and tell their friends. So allowing this woman to settle in the village with hatred in her heart would be like leaving a cancer cell in the village. Inevitably the cancer will grow and cause a civil war.

It was also possible that the woman felt grateful for being accepted into Konohaya despite the hatred in her heart, or that she realized that she would be the initiator of a civil war and kept her mouth shut, but these were possibilities that did not find a place in Sarutobi Hiruzen's book.
