After the Konoha leadership made their decision, Aburame Ryoma, stationed in the Land of Water, immediately visited Kirigakure as an envoy.
Along with a series of supplies to aid Kirigakure's reconstruction, he also brought an invitation to the upcoming joint Chunin Exam.
"...
"I heard that Elder Danzo has taken on three more disciples?" The next day, in the Hokage's office, Minato and Shikaku both turned their curious gazes toward Danzo.
Meanwhile, Fugaku Uchiha, another high-ranking elder, wore a satisfied smile.
Although the Uchiha clan's repu...
"Disciple... disciple?" Uchiha Itachi widened his eyes, unable to hide the shock on his face.
Danzo smiled kindly and nodded.
"That's right. I have a soft spot for nurturing young talents like you, Itachi, who possess the pure Will of Fire. Of course, if you don't wish to b...
"Teacher, are you saying that all of this was a test for us?" Shimura Kabuto asked with a dark expression after hearing Danzo's words.
"Exactly, that's right," Danzo replied with a calm nod. "From the moment you sent that letter, you had already entered the scope of the trial."
...
It was genjutsu!
Once he realized this, the masked mysterious man immediately disrupted the chakra flow within his body to break free from the illusion.
As it turned out, his choice was correct.
After disrupting his chakra, the blood-red moon hanging in the sky ...
Hanekawa returned to the vicinity of the God Tree.
While waiting, he wasn’t idle. Instead, he focused on training in sage techniques.
When power levels generally reached the Six Paths tier, most ninjutsu became obsolete, and sage techniques and ocular abilities became the ...
Hanekawa observed Otsutsuki Kaguya.
Her features were quite distinct.
Her skin was as pale as snow, with long blue-white hair cascading down past her entire body.
Her eyes were the Byakugan, and she had two horns on her head. Her face was exquisitely beautiful yet exp...
Watching Shimura Kabuto darting and weaving through the landslide like a bolt of lightning, the masked mysterious man’s eyes turned icy.
"I can’t beat the Darkness of the Shinobi, but do you really think I can’t handle a brat like you?"
The mysterious man growled, ...
"Even dealing with a few brats takes you so long. How useless."
The mysterious ninja who had risen from the ground looked at the children before him and spoke with clear dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, the two masked enemies beneath their masks were filled with terror. <...
Shimura Kabuto's decisive choice to flee truly caught the hidden "snake" off guard.
But to complete the "mission," she couldn't let Kabuto escape so easily.
Thus, she swiftly maneuvered through the forest.
Then, with a flick of her fingers, she unleashed a barra...
"Is there still no news from the front line?"
In the middle of the night, Shimura Kabuto, who had gotten up to take over the guard duty, quietly asked Captain Ueda.
The latter silently shook his head, suppressing the urge to smoke.
He forced a smile and said:
"Don't w...
"What the heck? Our squad only has four people, and they expect us to transport this much supplies..."
"Can’t we just use a few sealing scrolls to store all this stuff? Wouldn’t that be safer?"
At the military district’s logistics center, Chino couldn’t help but dumb...
The so-called military district was an extremely vast area.
It not only included living quarters for daily residence, training grounds for practicing ninjutsu, recreational areas for relaxation, but also specialized zones for military exercises.
This area encompassed large s...
"……"
Qian Renjue stared at Qian Renxue’s departing figure for a long while before fully processing what had just happened.
What had he even said just now?
It was indeed a bit inappropriate, but it was also the truth.
Snow Empress delicate pink lips moved ...
Heaven Dou City, Heaven Treasure Restaurant, Ground Floor
Dugu Yan linked arms with Ye Lingling, a look of realization flashing across her face.
"So His Highness the Holy Son is targeting that guy?"
"Yeah," Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly.
"I just don’t understand ...
Qian Renjue watched as Qian Renxue withdrew her fingertip and flicked it in the air.
In the end, that crystalline residue was wiped onto his clothes by Qian Renxue.
"Sister."
"Hmph! A woman’s thing should be returned to its owner."
Qian Renxue snorted lightly...
Mizukage Office, Hidden Mist Village.
Terumi Mei put down the documents in her hand and looked out the window.
Since becoming the Mizukage, she had never taken a vacation, spending all her time working.
Compared to the thriving Hidden Leaf Village, the Hidden Mist Vil...
"Father of the Nation?"
"So they’ve given me such a title, huh..."
Danzō chuckled as he read the secret letter in his hand.
The Shinobi World United News, an organization Danzō had founded himself, naturally couldn’t escape his notice, especially when it came to...
Aside from the Five Kage, the person who reacted most strongly to Danzō being named the "Father of the Nation" of the Land of Fire was undoubtedly a certain "Tobi" (Obito Uchiha).
Obito Uchiha, who had been sliced in half by Danzō's space-tearing blade, was now hiding in a secret...
"Konoha, December 4th, 55th Year of the Konoha Calendar – Joint Shinobi World United News."
"Under the leadership of the great 'Father of the Nation,' Elder Shimura Danzō, Konoha has successfully completed its first four-year plan."
"In terms of transportation infrastruct...
The gaze returns to the familiar yet revitalized land of Konoha.
Since Danzo pushed through a series of bold reform proposals against all odds and gradually implemented them, the Fire Nation's economy, technology, military, and many other fields have taken off simultaneously.<...
In the southern part of the Land of Water, on an island perpetually shrouded in thick fog, a heavy and oppressive atmosphere hung in the air.
The remnants of the Blood Mist faction, led by Fuguki Suikazan, had gathered here like stray dogs, their former arrogance and dominance in ...
After Danzo quietly left with Kimimaro, Orochimaru slowly emerged like a shadow amidst the devastated remains of the Kaguya clan.
His long tongue lightly licked his dry, cracked lips, and his narrow, snake-like eyes radiated a chilling coldness as he muttered in a low, icy voice:<...
"I'm done with my bath, Hanekawa!"
Kurenai Yūhi's cheerful voice rang out.
Hanekawa, who had been resting with his eyes closed, looked up at her.
She stepped out of the bathroom, wearing a light red yukata.
The yukata reached her calves, revealing her bare fee...
No one in Konoha Village knew how to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
But that wasn’t a big problem—Hanekawa could learn it.
"Haru," Hanekawa instructed, "arrange a room for him in the ANBU base."
"Yes," Haru replied, turning to Sasori. "Ple...
The Kaguya clan, known as the "battle clan," had ultimately fallen.
The heavy aura of tragedy hung over every inch of the Kaguya clan's territory like a thick, oppressive cloud.
Bones littered the ground, and the stench of blood filled the air, painting the scene as th...
"Boom!!"
As a tall, burly figure crashed into the battlefield, a massive cloud of dust erupted.
Fuguki Suikazan, exuding a thick aura of bloodlust, wielded Samehada, a massive sword wrapped in bandages. A crimson glint flashed in his eyes.
"It's one of the Seven Ninj...
After suffering such a devastating disaster, Kirigakure was thrown into chaos.
Fortunately, the highly respected elder Genji was still present.
Before receiving medical treatment, he explicitly appointed Mei Terumī as the acting Mizukage.
Although this appointment...
The thick mist that had shrouded the battlefield was split apart by a massive blade of light.
For the first time in what felt like forever, the skies above Kirigakure, perpetually cloaked in dark clouds and moisture, cleared to reveal a rare glimpse of blue.
At the sam...
The sky seemed shrouded in a layer of gloom, and a suffocating atmosphere permeated every inch of space.
A dazzling, decisive blade light suddenly appeared, carrying a momentum that seemed capable of severing the world itself.
It shot toward Obito Uchiha with lightning spee...
