[Battle Royale World— The Uzumaki Heir]
'Sharingan is amazing!'
Naruto thought gleefully as he fought an Iwa Shinobi with purely Taijutsu, detecting his opponent's moves and obstructing them before they could even begin.
"You!!"
The Iwa Shinobi attempted to create some distance in order to cast a Jutsu since he could not obtain an advantage in Taijutsu. However, Naruto easily recognised his intentions with the help of his newly obtained Sharingan.
Realising that his opponent had nothing more to offer him, Naruto took out a kunai in each of his hands and closed the distance, aiming for the Iwa Shinobi's neck.
With his Sharingan and superior Taijutsu experience, it was a piece of cake for Naruto to finish off the Iwa Shinobi no matter how much you tried to prevent it.
"So, how was the trial run?" Shikamaru asked in his usual tired tone as he stepped down from a nearby tree, having been on lookout while Naruto tested the two tomoe Sharingan he had obtained from the Character Card.
"The Iwa Shinobi was likely a straggler who didn't battle for an airdrop since he didn't have a Jutsu Scroll or any kind of card with him. Still, he fought well enough for me to find what could I do with a two tomoe Sharingan." Naruto replied.
"Using a Sharingan feels amazing! Even though it is only a two tomoe Sharingan, I feel like I can fight toe-to-toe with a Jounin."
"Don't let any Uchiha hear you. Otherwise, it will be really troublesome. The Uchiha will literally die of shame." Shikamaru said upon seeing how confident Naruto was just because of a mere two tomoe Sharingan which literally every Uchiha Shinobi could obtain with a little hard work and experience.
"Though I wonder who this 'Sasuke Uchiha' is? He knows Brother Kakashi's Chidori Jutsu which he has never taught to anyone." Naruto thought out aloud.
The Character Card not only contained the Bloodline Ability of the Character depicted in it but also the Jutsu he or she knew. In Sasuke Uchiha's case, he only knew some Fire Jutsu with Chidori being the exception.
"You can ask Kakashi directly once we are out of this Battle Royale. It is too troublesome to think about it here." Shikamaru advised as the two of them continued on their way towards the centre.
"The circle is much smaller now. At the rate it is shrinking, we would be face to face with all the remaining Shinobi in about half an hour." Naruto said as he looked at the minimap where showed the circle shrinking rapidly.
"But we still have barely seen any Shinobi, much less those who have a treasure from an airdrop. Perhaps The other battles for airdrops were much more brutal compared to ours." Shikamaru guessed, seeing that the artificial forest still looked empty despite how small the circle had become.
"Shinobi ahead!"
Naruto warned Shikamaru as he sensed the presence of a few Shinobi approaching them from a certain direction.
Sharingan blazing in his eyes and kunai in his hands, Naruto was ready to engage the Shinobi when he noticed that they were the Konoha uniform.
"Narumi!!"
Naruto shouted as he saw with his Sharingan that it was actually his sister along with Satsuki Uchiha who were approaching them.
"Brother!"
Narumi ran with her entire might as soon as she heard her dear twin brother's voice and leapt into his arms.
"Can't believe that you are actually here!" She whispered in Naruto's arms as she hugged him.
"Now that we are all together, it would be a piece of cake for us to pass this Battle Royale." Naruto said softly as he patted Narumi's head.
"Ack! Where did you get a Sharingan!" Narumi exclaimed as she raised her head from Naruto's embrace and finally took a proper look at his face, only to see his eyes blazing with Sharingan.
"That is what I want to know too." Satsuki asked in a rather excited voice.
"Actually, it is because of the [Character Card] we obtained from the airdrop which depicted an Uchiha." Naruto explained.
"No way you obtained a [Character Card]! We only got Jutsu Scrolls along with Chakra Enhancement as well as Status Restoration Cards. Though the Jutsu Scrolls did contain rare Jutsu we had never seen before." Narumi said, surpriseed that Naruto had actually pulled a [Character Card] from the airdrop.
"Well, we had to fight Temari of the Sand to get the air drop. Not to mention that we only got a single Chakra Reserve Enhancement Card along with a Jutsu Scroll other than the [Character Card]." Naruto replied with a shrug.
"How did you even qualify for the Battle Royale in the first place? Aren't you already at Chunin level? Father even said that if you were given a chance to set up the field with your Fuuinjutsu, you could actually fight a Jounin." Narumi asked, puzzled by Naruto's presence in the Battle Royale.
"The System did say that Genin who have Chunin level battle prowess but have not been promoted to Chunin are qualified for the Battle Royale. And I am still a Genin on paper." Naruto answered. He had long thought about why he had been selected.
"By the way, you said that you found a Chakra Reserve Enhancement Card. How are your chakra reserves currently?" Naruto asked, knowing how much chakra his sister wasted carelessly.
"At mid Chunin level, around 80%. There should be no problem in throwing around some big Jutsu." Narumi reported.
"Good! Just stay in the back from—"
"Ahm!! I don't want to stop your sibling reunion but the circle is approaching." Satsuki said, interrupting their conversation as she reminded them of the approaching circle.
"Alright!" Naruto nodded his head as all of them continued towards the centre.
However, they would not have run for more than 10 minutes when they had to stop.
"Please save Neji! I beg of you. He remained behind to stop that monster Gaara." Tenten of Team 9 asked them as they encountered her, her eyes filled with tears and body stained with sand as she asked them to save her teammate Neji Hyuga.
"Please calm down. Tell us what happened." Naruto said softly as he asked Tenten to tell everything.
"We were near the centre of the circle when we met that monster Gaara."

A few minutes earlier....
"Mother, answer me! Why are you not saying anything? I can use your power but I can't hear your voice." Gaara continued to mumble pleading words for his 'Mother' as he walked, ignoring Neji and Tenten's existence.
"Your 'Mother' is not answering because she doesn't exist at all." Neji said coldly, attracting Gaara's attention.
Neji and Tenten already had a negative impression of Gaara since he had crippled their teammate Rock Lee in the Chunin Exams Preliminaries.
"How can you say that? First that blonde girl and now you! Why do you all deny Mother's existence? I will destroy all of you." Gaara said furiously as sand exploded from the gourd on his back.
"You are on!" Neji replied, his Byakugan activating.
"We will take Lee's revenge!" Tenten said as several shurikens appeared in her hand.
