"But that place has been requisitioned by the Qixing. If you're planning to target it, you better be ready to spend some time in jail!" Paimon added.
Zhongli mentioned that the Archon's body is being kept in the "Golden House" by the Qixing. This likely means there will be even more guards stationed there.
"It really is quite expensive," Lumine admitted, feeling that even if she and Nolan pooled all their Mora together, they still wouldn't have enough to pay for the everlasting in...

"Damn it..."
"It's not enough!"
"Too slow!"
Hoshita Shūichi gritted his teeth, pouring out chakra from within himself, desperately trying to control it to regenerate and heal Kurama Sanyō's wounds.
But the speed was still too slow.
If he spread the power across all four wounds, none of them would heal quickly enough.
Even when he focused his power on the two most critical wounds, the speed was still insufficient.
The arterial wound healed the fastes...

"Iwa-nin and Kumo-nin are both possible suspects."
Minato Namikaze stated, "Kusagakure also has Kumo-nin spies, which is inevitable."
Kurama Sanyō chuckled, "Looks like this mission is going to be quite challenging."
"Speaking of which, we've already fought against Suna-nin and Iwa-nin. The only ones left are Kumo-nin and Kiri-nin. It's said that Kumo-nin are more proficient in Taijutsu and Lightning Release."
Uchiha Shisui reminded him with a smile, "Proficient doesn...

The beginning of Konoha Year 41 was rather "leisurely" for Hoshita Shūichi. Playing with the White Tiger and feeding crows had become part of his daily routine.
However, a technique he thought would be relatively easy to master—High-Temperature Ray—ended up posing quite a challenge.
By the now-thawed lakeside, Hoshita Shūichi winced, his mouth full of blisters.
He got burned!
The highly compressed fire stream in his mouth reached such extreme temperatures that ...

While eating snacks and watching the intense discussion between Shūichi and Tsunade, Shizune felt very happy, even though she couldn't participate in the conversation.
The discussion between Shūichi and Tsunade continued well into the night, only stopping when Shizune finished preparing dinner.
During dinner, Tsunade said, "Shizune, once school starts, apply for graduation."
Shizune was taken aback, then instinctively nodded, "Okay, Lady Tsunade."

After upgrading to the newer Arc Reactor, Tony had told Pepper to dispose of the old one. But she had kept it and turned it...

As they withdrew, Sakumo continued to fight while retreating. His fearsome blade was so sharp that even Chiyo couldn’t stop him. This sword was too lethal.

Fire Release: Fiery Lotus of Buddha's Wrath!
Although the fiery blossom doesn’t take the form of a lotus, Shūichi Hoshita decided to name it this way.
This is an A-rank Fire Release technique, slightly less difficult than the Fire Body Flicker Technique, and much easier in terms of form manipulation.
However, the power of this jutsu depends on the amount of chakra the Fire Release clone has left.
Earlier, the Fire Release clone had already expended ...
