At the same time, both Naruto Yujin and Marvel Yujin were shopping. Each ended up arguing with people while browsing the aisles.
Meanwhile, Pirate Yujin was squatting at the top of the sword tree, unsure of whom to focus on first. After a moment of thought, he fixed his gaze on Marvel Yujin.
"Ahhh!" The first little black-clad kid who got hurt grabbed his wrist and shouted wildly, while the other two black-clad kids looked confused.
What was happening? Who had stabbed him with a compass!?
They both looked toward the female shopkeeper behind the counter, who was just as stunned. Obviously, it couldn't have been the elderly lady in her sixties.
Then, the two turned around to check themselves.
Each had something stuck in their wrist — one with a pen, the other with a fruit knife.
"Ah!"
They immediately dropped their guns in pain. Their small black hands, now smeared with blood, could no longer cause any trouble.
Marvel Yujin, squatting quietly in the corner, covered his temple and closed his Sharingan. As the tomoe faded, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
With the Sharingan's help, he could easily win a gold medal in Olympic shooting now. He was definitely a superhuman — but the duration was too short.
Only eleven seconds, and it was done.
Slightly better than Liu Xiang's twelve point eight eight seconds in running, but still limited.
The robbery ended there. The three little black-clad kids screamed as they fled the Chinese supermarket.
Auntie Lin stepped out from behind the counter, picked up the three guns from the floor, then suddenly remembered something. She dropped the guns and hurried to the storeroom to light incense.
"God bless! God bless!"
After finishing her prayer, she came back out.
The store was empty.
One loaf of bread was missing from the shelf.
Three dollars more were on the counter.
On the ground, three guns were missing.
Marvel Yujin walked cautiously down the street, keeping a close eye on the passersby.
His pockets bulged suspiciously, making him look like he had just withdrawn a fat sum of one hundred thousand dollars from the bank.
But if anyone knew that just a few minutes ago, he had taken down three armed enemies, they would definitely keep their distance.
"Why are you carrying guns?" Pirate Yujin asked, confused.
Marvel Yujin replied, "Guns can be traded for hot, fresh pizza!"
"Hey! That's you, kid!" Pirate Yujin smiled faintly, then swallowed. "Pizza, although it can't compare to Chinese food I miss, it's been ten years since I last had any."
"Ah."
"Oh! Wait! I haven't checked over there yet!"
Pirate Yujin's sudden exclamation reminded Marvel Yujin, and the two switched views.
At this moment, Uchiha Yujin's aura was fully unleashed.
The eyebrowless Uchiha ninja standing before him looked utterly incredulous.
Such a young kid, and he had already awakened his Sharingan?
The last one was Uchiha Itachi, the clan leader's eldest son, a once-in-a-century genius, right?
How much time had passed, and here was another prodigy?
"Uncle, I want to buy on credit!" Uchiha Yujin pointed to the huge shuriken on the wall.
"Can I? I promise to pay you back... in four, five, six, seven, eight, ten months!" He waved his fingers as he spoke.
In the chat space, the two Yujins couldn't hold it in any longer!
Marvel Yujin: "Pay back in ten months? Sure."
Pirate Yujin: "If he pays, it's probably just burning the money for the boss!"
Boss Uchiha Sumio had no idea that in ten months, his entire clan would be wiped out by Konoha and the Akatsuki working together.
He pulled out a loan agreement and handed it to Uchiha Yujin to sign.
"Boss," a complicated look flashed in Uchiha Yujin's eyes.
"What's wrong?" Uchiha Sumio scratched his face and interrupted, "I really didn't expect you to awaken your Sharingan. That's amazing!"
"Alright then, I'll take it now and pay you back in ten months."
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
Eyebrowless Uchiha watched Uchiha Yujin leave, then cursed to his companions, "That damn brat! Who does he think he is?!"
One purple-haired woman among them covered her mouth and laughed, "If you could awaken Sharingan at this age, you'd be just as arrogant."
"Damn it!"
Back at home, Uchiha Yujin learned about the situation on the Marvel side from Pirate Yujin's report.
"Didn't expect you to be so decisive now."
"No, no, we're all the same. Though my personality has changed a bit due to the environment, the fighting spirit in my bones is still the same," Marvel Yujin said, rubbing his head.
"No, no, no!" Pirate Yujin corrected him, "You're way stronger than both of us."
"Ah? What's wrong? You guys face ninjas, navy, and pirates. I'm just dealing with ordinary black people."
"That's not what he means," Uchiha Yujin smirked and continued, "He's really saying you still have to avoid the authorities, but we don't."
"Ah!"
Marvel Yujin finally understood!
Using 'superpowers' in an Asian supermarket full of surveillance cameras would soon attract attention from agencies like S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Or maybe I should surrender and join S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Marvel Yujin tried.
Immediately, all three said in unison, "Not even a dog would go to S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
Night deepened.
Marvel Yujin found an alley near an ATM and leaned against the wall, dozing off lightly.
Uchiha Yujin lay in bed, repeatedly opening his eyes until his chakra was completely drained, then fell into a deep sleep.
Both brothers were asleep.
Only Pirate Yujin remained, full of fighting spirit!
It was time for him to move!
Escape from prison?
No, he doesn't have that strength now.
What he must do is to go from Level 1, the Crimson Hell, to Level 2, the Wild Beast Hell.
Then cross Level 3, the Starvation Hell, and Level 4, the Blazing Hell.
Once he reaches Level 5, the Freezing Hell, he can search for the legendary Level 5.5, the Newkama Land!
Pirate Yujin squatted atop the Sword Tree.
Where his eyes could see lay a desolate and brutal scene.
Crimson Hell, the first underground layer of Impel Down, reveals the cruelty of hell in its unique way.
His gaze passed through the Sword Trees, sharp as blades.
The branches of these trees were like piercing knives, mercilessly slicing the air, as if ready to tear apart any flesh daring to come near.
Beneath his feet was ground covered in needle-like sharp needlegrass.
These plants were as hard as iron, their tips glinting coldly, emitting a deadly threat.
He could hear prisoners' screams as they tried to escape guards and poisonous spiders.
Those unlucky enough to touch the plants had their bodies cut, bleeding profusely, writhing in pain on the ground.
The air was thick with the scent of blood and rust — the unique smell of Crimson Hell.
It mixed with the prisoners' fear and despair, creating a suffocating atmosphere.
Yujin slowly lay down against the Sword Tree, took off his prison clothes, and skillfully tied them around his feet.
This would reduce the stabbing pain from the needlegrass.
He looked up.
Before him was a dim Sword Tree forest.
Within it swarmed poisonous spiders!
This was also the only path to Level 2, the Wild Beast Hell.
He rubbed his eyes and muttered,
"I don't even know how far these eyes plus the gene lock can take me."
"This hard journey... can I reach the other side?"
He spat fiercely.
"Damn it! Just do it!"
