"The Awakening and the Curse of the UBB"

Episode Title: "The Awakening and the Curse of the UBB"

Opening Scene: The Dark Struggle

The episode begins with Suki lying unconscious in a hospital bed, surrounded by her teammates: Keado, Ryo, Dan, and Riko. The poisonous attack from Kazukara’s puppet still lingers in her veins, keeping her in a deep coma. Keado is beside herself, trying every medical technique she knows, but nothing works.

"I can't... I just can't wake her up!" Keado's voice cracks, her hands trembling as she places them gently on Suki's forehead. Tears well up in her eyes as she looks helplessly at her teammates.

Dan places a comforting hand on her shoulder. "We’re doing everything we can, Keado. We need to give her time."

But the despair is evident in the air. Ryo stands across the room, arms crossed, looking away, his usual lighthearted demeanor replaced by concern and frustration.

"She's not going to give up that easily," Ryo mutters, though he looks unsure of what else to do. "She’s tougher than this."

Riko, who has been silent until now, clenches his fists. The guilt of Suki’s condition weighs heavily on him, and he feels powerless. “This isn’t over. We’ll find a way to bring her back. She’s strong. I know she’ll wake up.” His tone is resolute, though it’s clear he’s struggling with the uncertainty.

The UBB Assassin

Outside the hospital, a threat is looming. A mysterious UBB assassin, a rogue shinobi who steals the eyes of powerful Uchiha and Mangekyo Sharingan users, has entered the village. His goal: steal Riko’s Mangekyo Sharingan and Riko's newly unlocked curse mark Stage 3.

The assassin, known as Kurozaki, wears a sinister black cloak and carries a set of tools designed for extracting eyes. His face is masked, and his presence sends chills through the village. He’s an expert at sneak attacks, having already infiltrated villages in the past, stealing eyes and leaving chaos in his wake.

The Confrontation

Team 7 receives word of the assassin’s presence, and Riko is the first to act. “I won’t let him steal my eyes,” he says, his voice full of determination.

Keado, still deeply distressed over Suki’s condition, looks up at Riko, her voice shaking. "Please... don't. You don’t have to do this alone. Let me help. We need to stop him together."

Ryo steps forward. “Keado’s right. We’re a team. We’ve got this.”

Dan nods in agreement. "We'll do this for Suki. Let’s go."

The group heads out, tracking Kurozaki through the village. They find him standing at the edge of a cliff, ready to strike, his eyes locked on Riko.

“You’ve been a problem, Uchiha,” Kurozaki sneers, his voice cold. “And now, I’ll take your eyes.”

Before anyone can react, Kurozaki unleashes a barrage of shuriken and chakra blades aimed directly at Riko. The group springs into action, but Kurozaki is swift. He’s a master of misdirection, vanishing into the shadows and reappearing behind them, forcing them into a corner.

Keado’s Awakening Power

As the battle intensifies, Keado suddenly realizes that she’s been holding back. Her fear and guilt for Suki have prevented her from fully tapping into her potential. But now, seeing the danger Riko is in, her emotions snap, and she activates her Chakra Clock.

A radiant pink aura envelops Keado, signaling the activation of Light of the World. The aura amplifies her strength and chakra tenfold, her power surging to new heights. Keado moves with incredible speed, her strikes landing with force that sends shockwaves through the air.

“I won’t let him hurt anyone else!” Keado shouts, her voice filled with newfound resolve.

Ryo watches in awe as Keado fights with intensity he’s never seen before. He can see how much the loss of Suki and the threat to their team have driven her to reach new limits. He feels a surge of respect and pride for her.

Riko Unleashes Stage 3

While Keado is in the heat of battle, Riko finally activates his Curse Mark Stage 3, his appearance changing dramatically. His long white hair flares, and the black symbol on his nose becomes even more prominent. With the Curse Mark fully awakened, Riko’s eyes glow red, and his Mangekyo Sharingan activates.

“Get ready for the full power of an Uchiha,” Riko mutters, his voice cold and intense.

With newfound strength, Riko takes on Kurozaki, who attempts to steal his eyes by using a Genjutsu. However, Riko’s Sharingan allows him to break free instantly, and he strikes with his sword enhanced by lightning chakra.

Kurozaki, realizing he underestimated Riko’s growth, narrowly avoids the attack. But Riko is relentless. He quickly follows up with a devastating attack—Lighting Thunder God, a technique combining Riko’s swordplay and Mangekyo Sharingan to create a lightning-infused strike that nearly obliterates Kurozaki’s defenses.

Suki’s Whisper

During the intense battle, Suki, still in her coma, begins to stir. In a moment of pure emotional connection, Suki’s voice enters Ryo’s mind. “I’m alive, Ryo... I’m not gone... please… protect them for me.”

Ryo’s heart skips a beat as he hears Suki’s voice. He turns towards her hospital room, but he knows they can’t afford to stop now. “We’re not giving up on you, Suki. Hang on.”

Just as Riko lands the final blow on Kurozaki, Suki’s whisper echoes through his mind as well. “I believe in you... keep fighting.”

The Final Blow and the Escape

Keado, still in her empowered state, unleashes her most powerful strike, Light of the World, a chakra-infused blast of pure energy that overwhelms Kurozaki. With his body badly damaged and his vision blurred, Kurozaki attempts to retreat, but Riko seals his fate with one final, piercing Chidori.

“I don’t think you’ll be going anywhere,” Riko says coldly.

Kurozaki falls, lifeless, to the ground, his mission failed.

Aftermath: Keado’s Despair and Ryo’s Support

With the battle over and their enemy defeated, the team returns to the village. Keado remains silent, still haunted by the inability to wake Suki up despite all her efforts. She’s devastated.

Ryo approaches her, placing a hand on her shoulder. “Keado… Suki wouldn’t want you to carry this alone. We’ll get her back. Together.”

Keado looks up at him, tears in her eyes. “I failed her, Ryo... I couldn’t save her.”

“You didn’t fail her,” Ryo reassures her. “We’re going to keep fighting. For Suki. For all of us.”

As Ryo holds her, Keado allows herself a brief moment of solace before pulling away, her determination renewed. They won’t give up. Not now, not ever.

Closing Scene: A Glimmer of Hope

In Suki’s coma, a faint smile appears on her lips as her chakra pulses slightly in response to the efforts of her teammates. Though her eyes remain closed, there’s a sense of hope that she’s still fighting within.
