[NTU] [ARC-22] Chapter : 297

After briefly sensing the Flying Thunder God Seal,
Toshiro’s gaze shifted downward—to a massive snow-laden tree standing like a silent sentinel among the frozen landscape.

If his instincts were right, Obito was hiding beneath it.

“…How did he find me?”

Obito, cloaked in an Akatsuki robe, narrowed his eyes behind the mask. Suspicion crept into his voice, barely a whisper to himself.

He had only been observing the battle out of the corner of his eye—never ...

[TIOP] Chapter : 97

"Sensei, what do we do now? And just now..." Jack’s eyes swept across the battlefield. The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates were throwing everything they had into shielding Luffy, who was charging straight for the execution platform. Jack turned toward Garp, unsure.

“We focus on the task in front of us.” Garp exhaled heavily, his face clouded with conflict. “Mariejoa won’t fall so easily. Our duty is to uphold justice—as marines.”

Jack lifted his gaze to the platfo...

(Iwa Genin’s POV)

The moon hung high, half-veiled behind drifting clouds, its pale light casting a ghostly sheen over the landscape. The air was heavy with humidity, thick with the scent of damp earth and the faint sweetness of wildflowers clinging to the night. Every sound was magnified in the stillness—the crackle of the campfire, the soft murmur of our client’s samurai and assistants chatting nearby, and the rhythmic clatter of pots as the servant prep...

[TIOP] Chapter : 96

"Ooooh~~~!"

The moment Garp entered the battlefield, the morale of the navy surged like a tidal wave.

"Don't let his reputation shake you—he's just an old war dog!" Whitebeard bellowed, trying to rally his side before fear could settle in.

"Says the man from the same era!" Akainu sneered, launching another fierce assault at Whitebeard. "Worry about yourself first!"

"That’s right! We’re not here to roll over—show the navy what the New World is made of!" One of t...

[NTU] [ARC-22] Chapter : 296

Deidara’s frenzied shouts echoed across the sky, but Toshiro barely acknowledged them. His eyes weren’t on his enemy—they were locked on the sky above.

There, descending fast like a harbinger of destruction, was a massive white doll-shaped explosive, hurtling straight toward him and Yamawashi.

“So, you noticed it… but it’s too late!” Deidara’s voice rang with manic delight. “Even if you’ve spotted it, the power of C3.18 will reduce you...

[TIOP] Chapter : 95

"Jack, now’s not the time for games. Since you’ve stepped onto the field, make your stance clear!" Sengoku’s voice was sharp and unwavering. "Don’t forget—you’re still a marine!"

"Of course," Jack replied, his tone equally firm. Then, turning to Akainu with a faint smirk, he added, "That said, Admiral Sakazuki... I trust you'll be compensating me for the destruction of my house? Fair’s fair, right?"

Akainu’s eye twitched, but he remained silent. His silence, howeve...

[NTU] [ARC-22] Chapter : 295

“Oh? So it is Pain.”

As the distance between them closed, Toshiro finally got a clear look at the approaching figure—and instantly recognized his opponent.

Without hesitation, his eyes sharpened. “Let’s go.”

He didn’t know why Pain had suddenly come after him, but there was no point in waiting for an explanation—not when danger was flying straight at them.

With a soft command, Toshiro’s shadow stretched across the back of Yamawashi, writhing ...

[TIOP] Chapter : 94

“Dad… is it true? Is what Squado said really true?”
One of Whitebeard’s captains stepped forward, his voice trembling with disbelief.

Before Whitebeard could respond, Sengoku’s voice cut through the chaos.
“Aokiji!”

Without hesitation, Aokiji unleashed his ice powers, instantly freezing Buggy the Clown and the Den Den Mushi broadcasting the scene. With that, the last live feed of the Marineford war went dark—cutting off the eyes of the world.

Meanwhile,...

[TIOP] Chapter : 93

"Gum-Gum Substitution!"
Just as Hawkeye prepared to unleash his next devastating strike, Luffy’s eyes caught sight of Buggy hurtling through the air—flung skyward by the shockwave from Crocodile’s attack. Thinking fast, Luffy stretched out his arm, grabbed Buggy mid-flight, and yanked him down to use as an impromptu shield.

"WHAT THE HELL, STRAW HAT?!"
Buggy screamed in panic, realizing too late what was happening.
"You dragged me into the path of Hawkeye’s slash?! Are ...

[NTU] [ARC-22] Chapter : 294

"Finally, it's done~"

Toshiro stretched lazily, eyeing the document in front of him. The signatures of all five Kage stood proudly on the page—a symbol of hard-won unity. He let out a long, relieved sigh.

With this agreement signed, his workload back in the village should finally lighten.

Time to relax... maybe even slack off a little.

"Don’t get too comfortable just yet, Hokage."

Onoki’s gruff voice cut through the air like a cold breeze, dousing Toshiro�...

[TIOP] Chapter : 92

“So, kid… You’ve come to save your brother, huh?” Whitebeard asked with a broad grin, glancing down at Luffy beside him.

“Of course I have!” Luffy replied, as if the answer were the most obvious thing in the world.

“Gurarara! Then you’d better understand who you’re up against. This battlefield isn’t a place for reckless kids like you—one wrong move, and you’re dead!” Whitebeard said with a booming laugh.

But Luffy wasn’t fazed.

“Cut the no...

[NTU] [ARC-21] Chapter : 293

"Let goods cross borders, not ninjas."

That was the heart of Toshiro’s trade policy—a simple yet powerful idea.

This approach drew a clear line between economic cooperation and military restraint. The core principle was to encourage the free movement of goods across national borders while strictly limiting the movement of ninja forces. It was a strategic separation of commerce from conflict.

The reasoning was clear: by opening the gates for trade and material ex...

[TIOP] Chapter : 91

Meanwhile, high atop the immobilized Ice Wave, Luffy and his ragtag crew were in the middle of a heated debate.

“Listen up!” Luffy said with rare seriousness. “Now that we’ve made it this far, we need to move fast. You saw it yourselves—the battle’s already begun! If we work together and break the ice, we can slide straight down into the fight!”

“Tch! Are you crazy?” Buggy immediately objected, waving his hands. He had just escaped from Impel Down, and the last t...

[NTU] [ARC-21] Chapter : 292

After Toshiro finished speaking, a quiet stillness settled over the conference room. For a moment, no one spoke.

Whether it was the Kage themselves, the guards standing silently behind them, or even Mifune, seated as the official mediator—they all seemed to silently acknowledge the logic in Toshiro’s argument.

But silent agreement doesn't always translate to support.

"Hokage, your words carry weight…"

"...However," Onoki broke the silence, his voice cold and stea...

[TIOP] Chapter : 90

Just then, Aokiji—who had been quietly seated below the execution platform—vanished in an instant.

“Ice Age!”

Soaring into the sky, Aokiji unleashed his ice power, freezing the towering tsunami in its tracks. With the battlefield now under his control, he launched a follow-up attack—“Twin Ice Spears!”—hurtling two razor-sharp lances of ice straight toward Whitebeard.

“Gurararara… Aokiji, you little brat!” Whitebeard laughed, unfazed. With a thunderous r...

[NTU] [ARC-21] Chapter : 291

“Hokage, you flatter me.”

Mei Terumi accepted Toshiro’s compliment with ease, a teasing smile playing at the corners of her lips. Rather than shy away, she leaned in—graceful and confident, her tone light and flirtatious.

“I came to visit you with a small request,” she added, her voice smooth as silk. “Something I’d very much like your help with~”

They say fortune favors the bold, and Mei was certainly basking in her moment. With her recent rise to Mizukage...

[TIOP] Chapter : 89

“Look, it’s Fleet Admiral Sengoku!”

At that moment, not only did the marines stationed at Marineford spot Sengoku stepping onto the execution platform, but even the reporters watching from the broadcast in the Sabaody Archipelago recognized him immediately.

Whenever Sengoku appeared front and center, it usually meant something major was about to happen. But far from being concerned, the reporters were buzzing with excitement and anticipation. A public execution of the Whiteb...

[NTU] [ARC-21] Chapter : 290

The capital of the Land of Iron stood silent and dignified, blanketed by snow and brushed by a biting wind. The cold had turned the city into a silver world—serene, still, and timeless.

At the outskirts, a solitary figure emerged against the frosty backdrop.

Clad in heavy armor and a hooded cloak, a lone samurai stood guard, waiting patiently for the arrival of a distinguished guest. The chill reddened his cheeks, but his eyes remained steady—deep pools of resolve untouched by...

[NGS] [ARC-01] Chapter : 04

The Flying Raijin Jutsu was built on several critical components, each demanding a high level of mastery. To wield it effectively, a shinobi needed exceptional chakra control—at least at a jōnin’s level—and acute chakra perception to sense exactly where a seal had been placed. Moreover, an innate affinity for space-time manipulation and fuinjutsu was essential to execute the technique with precision.

Each of us in the Hokage’s guard platoon had a natural aptitude in one of thes...

[TIOP] Chapter : 88

By the time Jack emerged from the Impel down, nearly an hour had passed. After hearing the news about Sabo, Ace had clung to Jack, pressing him for more details.

Unfortunately, Jack couldn’t offer much. All he could say was that he had encountered someone resembling Sabo within a certain organization—someone who had clearly lost his memory.

As for how he knew about the connection between Sabo and Ace, Jack claimed he had learned it from the mountain bandit Dadan. During a visi...

Ninja Academy – Classroom

"Haku, I challenge you!"

Hyuga Neji, with his long hair and pale Byakugan eyes, stood seriously in front of the class.

He had no choice but to be serious. Despite several attempts to defeat the new transfer student, he had failed every single time.

Neji wasn't the kind to admit defeat easily. After his repeated losses, he had even pleaded with his father to help him undergo special training at home.

But now, when the t...

[NTU] [ARC-21] Chapter : 288

Roshi walked away helplessly.

This place has been exposed... I can’t stay here any longer.

As his figure gradually disappeared into the distance, far beyond his line of sight, a small figure silently put away a telescope.

"...Seems I was overthinking it."

Uchiha Itachi had been observing from afar, wary that the Hokage might take more drastic measures. Only after confirming that Roshi was unharmed did he finally relax.

Meanwhile, back in Konoha, Toshiro ignored...

[NTU] [ARC-21] Chapter : 287

"Jiraiya, have you ever considered staying in Konoha?"

In the Hokage’s office, Toshiro glanced at the white-haired man standing before him. With a subtle nod, he gestured to the side, his intent clear.

In the direction he indicated, Tsunade, Shizune, and Hana were engaged in a lively conversation, completely unaware of his silent prompt.

Jiraiya followed his gaze and hesitated. “Well… I’ll have to think about it.”

His expression grew conflicted.

Should ...

[TIOP] Chapter : 87

After spending years in the world of One Piece, Jack no longer saw its people as mere two-dimensional characters from an anime. To him, they were real—flesh and blood, bound by their own convictions and struggles.

"Then what exactly do you intend to do?" Garp asked, his voice laced with frustration. "Don't forget, we are the navy, and he is a pirate!"

"But Ace is my sworn brother!" Jack shot back, unable to suppress his emotions.

Garp shook his head. "And what? Do you plan...

[NGS] [ARC-01] Chapter : 03

"GENMA!! Come on out! Let us fan the Flames of Youth on this glorious morning!!!"

That was the ungodly shout that tore me from sleep.

Groaning, I rubbed my eyes and rolled out of bed, already preparing myself mentally to prevent Gai from waking up half the village—or getting me evicted for public disturbance.

“Shut the fck up, Gai!! Some of us are trying to sleep at this hour!”

I had to remind myself—th...

[NTU] [ARC-21] Chapter : 286

"Well... let's talk about peace!"

Jiraiya, ever thick-skinned, simply laughed off Tsunade’s pointed look, brushing the moment aside as if nothing had happened.

Despite the skeptical glances thrown his way—especially Tsunade’s amused smirk—Toshiro remained unbothered. Instead of getting defensive, he simply addressed their doubts and then motioned for everyone to take their seats.

As for the rumors circulating about him? He hardly cared.

True, some of them had t...

[TIOP] Chapter : 86

Naturally, Jack wasn’t about to reveal the truth. Regardless, he had been looking for an opportunity to test his new sage mode—specifically, whether it could mimic conqueror's Haki. And who better to experiment on than Garp?

First and foremost, there was no real risk involved. Even though Jack’s strength had grown considerably, he wasn’t arrogant enough to believe he could defeat Garp, let alone injure him.

The second concern was secrecy. It wasn’t that Jack was ashamed ...

[NTU] [ARC-21] Chapter : 285

Inside a modest home, a woman with long, dark red hair cradled her sleeping daughter in her arms, letting out a sorrowful sigh.

She knew her time was running out.

But... if she were to die, there was no doubt about who would take her place—her daughter. And that was something she could never accept.

Yet, even if they managed to escape from Kusagakure, what fate awaited people like them—those with special abilities?

There was always the risk of being treated like co...

[TIOP] Chapter : 85

The next day, early in the morning, with the sun yet to rise, Jack woke up unable to suppress his excitement; he went out and tried to calm down, sitting on top of the highest point in Marineford, the Fleet Admiral's office.

After about an hour of meditation and becoming one with nature, calming his mind down. He tried unleashing a haki and sage chakra-infused punch into the air, thinking nothing would happen as the force would go up toward the sky. What he did not take into account was...

The Next Evening

At Uchiha Fugaku's residence.

"Another bowl!" ×2

The once neatly arranged dining table, adorned with an array of delicious dishes, was now in complete disarray.

Two children, around seven or eight years old, devoured the food in their bowls within seconds, as if locked in an intense competition. In perfect unison, they raised their empty bowls toward Mikoto before turning to glare at their classmate seated across from them....
