Hajime Hoshita quickly finished skimming through all the files in his hands.
Aside from Yakushi Nono, there wasn’t a single name he recognized.
All of the students in these files were between the ages of eight and twelve.
Yakushi Nono was ten. Namikaze Minato should be around eight, and Uzumaki Kushina as well.
He didn’t see Namikaze Minato’s file in his batch, and Hajime figured Shimura Daichi didn’t have it either.
Hajime began going through the files a...

"Finally succeeded!"
Hajime Hoshita beamed with joy.
He had just mastered an A-rank ninjutsu. Its difficulty was second only to S-rank techniques, placing it firmly in the ultra-high-difficulty category.
For comparison, B-rank jutsu were considered jōnin-level.
His accumulated knowledge, the immense chakra granted by Hashirama's cells, the foundation of an elite chūnin, and his thorough understanding of the Rasengan’s training process—
All of these factors ...

Under the protection of his two comrades, Dan Katō sat cross-legged, formed a seal with his hands, and released both his spirit and chakra in unison. His ethereal form shot out of his body, howling through the night sky.
In the distance, hidden in the shadows, Hajime Hoshita silently watched the scene unfold.
"If I strike now, there’s a good chance I could take out Dan Katō..."
The thought flickered through his mind before he quickly suppressed it and turned to leave.

“This mission—you'll be acting alone.”
“Your target is Naoki Itsukami, a noble of the Land of Fire.”
Danzo personally delivered the mission briefing to Hajime Hoshita. “He opposes Konoha’s military expansion. But now, all the other shinobi villages are pushing ahead with their own military build-ups. Intelligence shows they’re accelerating their research on Jinchuriki.”
“People like him, who get in the way—there’s no need for them to exist.”

When Sarutobi Toku and the others arrived and saw that Hayami Mari had been subdued, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Still, they couldn’t help but feel that this mission had been a little too easy. This was already their third mission in a row where they hadn’t played a critical role.
Seeing the wooden spikes embedded in Hayami Mari’s limbs didn’t arouse any suspicion either—after all, the area was filled with splinters and broken wood. None of them consider...

By midday the next day, Hajime Hoshita led his team back to the Root headquarters to report to Danzō, including the matter of recruiting Akabane Nozomi.
Danzō, already familiar with Akabane’s profile, nodded slightly after hearing the details. “He’s certainly well-suited to be a sleeper agent.”
“However, sending him into ANBU might be even more appropriate.”
“Alpha, once he returns to Konoha, you’ll be responsible for training him to meet the minimum qualif...

After watching Hajime Hoshita leave, Sakumo Hatake frowned slightly.
There was a problem with the list.
Mimura Yokan, Inuzuka Kyō, and Aburame Shisei were fine. But the other three clearly didn’t qualify for ANBU.
So the real purpose couldn’t possibly be candidate selection for ANBU.
Sakumo keenly sensed something unusual and immediately pulled out a map.
He had to make preparations.
Whatever the ANBU’s true intentions were this time, he needed to pr...

After leaving Danzo’s place, Hajime Hoshita regrouped with Ryō Inuzuka and the others. He said, “You can take the secret technique documents back with you, but under no circumstances are they to be leaked.”
Sarutobi Toku and the other two quickly nodded. “Understood!”
Hajime waved his hand. “Dismissed!”
The trio nodded again, then each used the Body Flicker Technique to depart.
Hajime returned to his own quarters and changed clothes, but he no longer fel...

Sarutobi Toku stared at the severed arm and the pool of blood on the ground, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
"Honestly, what you did might not necessarily be punishable by death. So what's the point of being stubborn?"
Hajime’s voice was gentle. “Just like my subordinate said—what if you're actually innocent?”
“How am I supposed to know you're innocent if you don't speak?”
“If you don’t talk, I’ll just kill you.”

After the squad assignments were complete, Danzō coldly declared, “From this moment on, Root shall become the guardian of Konoha’s great tree—its very roots. We will dwell in the deepest shadows, purging all threats within and outside the village. Better to kill the wrong target than let one slip by.”
“From now on, forget your names. Remember only your codenames.”
“You are the weapons that will guard this village from the darkness, the blades that protect Konoha’s...

Unrolling the scroll, Hajime quickly scanned it with his eyes.
The scroll was incredibly detailed—not only listing the sequences of hand seals but also including numerous jutsu formulas and in-depth explanations.
These notes were likely written by Hashirama Senju himself and had been fully transcribed by Danzō.
The techniques listed were extensive, ranging from basic Wood Release jutsu like Wood Locking Wall, Wood Clone, and Vajra Trees, to powerful ones like Deep Forest ...

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Danzō stepped up beside Hajime, formed a hand seal with both hands, then inhaled deeply and exhaled.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A series of air bullets blasted from Danzō’s mouth.
Wind Release: Vacuum Bullets!
Bang bang bang!
The Wood Locking Wall splintered under the barrage, pitted with dents and cracks from the high-speed air projectiles—but it didn’t break through entirely.
But before Hajime could process that, Danz...

The night passed without incident.
At 5 a.m. the next morning, Hajime Hoshita woke up on time.
Since there were no missions assigned, he washed up and left the Root base. Finding a secluded grove, he began his daily physical training.
After an hour of conditioning, he transitioned into chakra control training.
Half an hour later, Hajime paused, frowning slightly. “At sixteen, for the original me, my potential has more or less reached its limit.”
“From here ...

Danzo hadn’t expected Hajime Hoshita to make such a shocking statement, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily. Deep down, an inexplicable sense of excitement stirred within him.
Did he want to become Hokage?
Of course he did!
Back then… he had only fallen short by a hair’s breadth.
“If Hiruzen were to die… right now, I truly would be the most qualified to lead Konoha.”
The thought sent a powerful surge through Danzo’s heart.

“That means, from now on, my orders are the second-highest authority in Root. Aside from Lord Danzo himself, no one outranks me!”
“And once Lord Danzo becomes the Fourth Hokage, I’ll be the new leader of Root!”

Konoha, Year 36. Root Base.
A Root ninja wearing a cat-faced mask bowed respectfully and reported to Danzo,
“Lord Danzo, while disposing of the bodies, we discovered someone who wasn’t actually dead.”
Danzo’s eyes narrowed. “Not dead?”
“Aren’t the bodies supposed to be inspected by the Anbu first before we handle them?”
“Who survived?”
The cat-masked ninja replied, “Hajime Hoshita.”
Danzo immediately stood up. “Lead the way...

Only about 6,000 Adventure EXP remained—not enough to do much—so Nolan closed his character panel and started walking back toward Tighnari’s place.
After a long period of contemplation, Lumine had more or less grasped the nature of the force behind the "Eleazar" affliction.
It was much faster than the originally estimated two or three days.
Not only did she master the power behind Eleazar today, but she also managed to cleanse about a third of the Eleazar corruption...

They took the elevator down together. Glancing at the large box in Utaha's hands...
