Seeing Kushina take the lead, Minato—who had initially intended to defend Konoha—now decisively stated his position as well: “Please do whatever you feel is right. As Naruto’s parents, we’re honored that you’re willing to guide him.”
The suspected forbidden jutsu resembling Tobirama’s chakra manipulation… The total absence of old friends coming to see Naruto…

Uchiha Fugaku, watching from the other side, saw Danzō miraculously restore himself—and drew a steady breath.
He had already heard from Keizumi that Danzō possessed multiple Sharingan and could use the forbidden technique Izanagi.
But hearing it and seeing it with one’s own eyes were two completely different experiences.

Just then—

“We can’t afford to stall any longer. This expedition has been a complete failure. It’s better we head back now, regroup, and prepare the groundwork for whoever might come next.”
The Wyverian Hunter spoke calmly, his face emotionless. The bluntness of his words didn’t shake his composure in the slightest.
The atmosphere around the campfire instantly turned cold.
It was a harsh truth.
They had been in the New World for five years.
Five long years. It was...

As the Chameleos darted into the forest, the Rathalos lost their target completely.
Above the dissipating mist, the Rathalos roared in unison—a cry of victory.
“Rooooar~~~!”
A long, resonant howl—like the approach of a bomber—gradually echoed from the distance.
A massive Bazelgeuse charged in at full speed.
It had heard it!
Heard it from far, far away!

Just as the Chameleos vanished, Aki seized the moment—before the poisonous mist could spread—and shot a fireball toward it.
Unfortunately, the fireball had been launched too hastily, and the Chameleos evaded it with ease.
As the white mist reappeared, Logan sharpened his focus, his mind's eye tracking the Chameleos’s movements while urging Aki to retreat immediately.
Unwilling to give up, Aki spread her wings. The pressure from her flight helped slow the diffusion of t...

Sensing that something was wrong, the Rathalos began to abandon their nests. Circling the Ancient Tree, they flew through the skies, roaring to spread the warning. For a while, the upper canopy of the Ancient Forest was filled with chaos and noise.
That was—until a colossal male Rathalos appeared.
It was nearly twice the size of an ordinary one, stretching over 30 meters in length. Its body was covered in a rugged, black-and-crimson carapace, and its massive wings, wide enough t...

“So you’re really not planning to relocate?”
The Grimalkyne chief had already prepared himself mentally, so he wasn’t surprised to hear this. What piqued his curiosity was why Logan had changed his mind.
After all, the source of all this unrest was an Elder Dragon.
To flee or hide—those were the most instinctive and common responses.
But Logan reaffirmed his decision not to relocate, offering no elaborate explanation. As always, he left the choice up to the G...

Logan flew through the air, still shaken.
So close!
Just a little more and…
He had to admit—he’d let his guard down.
It had only been two months since they last met, yet that creature had improved so drastically. Clearly, life had been too easy lately—he’d lost the respect and fear one should have for this world.
Even just two months, with the help of that miraculous life energy, any creature could undergo unimaginable enhancements at any given moment. ...

Logan remained collapsed for nearly two hours, only to be rudely awakened by a powerful wave of hunger.
After such intense exertion, his metabolism had skyrocketed. And having eaten nothing beforehand, Logan was at his limit. The moment he opened his eyes, he was ready to head out and hunt.
But what he saw instead was Aki leisurely nibbling on small chunks of meat, while the Grimalkynes were still hard at work transporting preserved meat from their dwelling.
The moment they ...

Seeing Aki’s suffering snapped something in Logan.
His blood boiled. Muscles tensed. Fueled by rage, energy surged violently through his body.
He no longer cared that the creature before him was an Elder Dragon.
Infernal fire built rapidly in his throat. His flame sacs compressed with brute force, and the intense heat glowing inside made his neck visibly flare with a red hue from the outside.

A wide cone of flame erupted from Logan’s jaws. Laced ...

The mist had grown so thick it now completely obstructed vision. The sharp eyesight that Rathalos usually took pride in was rendered useless within this white fog.
What made it even more infuriating was that this toxic mist had clearly been caused by Chameleos, yet it hadn't been deliberately aimed at Logan and Aki. This meant there was a high chance that Chameleos wasn’t even nearby. Even if Logan wanted to drive it away to clear the fog, he had no target to strike.

“An Elder Dragon that spreads poisonous mist?” Logan muttered, casting one last deep glance at the region before turning and flying back toward the Ancient Tree.
No wonder there had been a massive migration of creatures from the depths of the Ancient Forest.
It’s Chameleos!
One of the so-called Three Lords of the Elder Dragons, alongside Kushala Daora and Teostra, Chameleos was by far the most underestimated of the trio.

In the world of Monster Hunter, every monster can be described with a word that captures its very essence. For example, Anjanath is often labeled a brute.
So, what word best defines Yian Garuga?
Combat.
Among the Flying Wyverns—who are generally considered to sit at the bottom rung of the power ladder—Yian Garuga stands out as a singular force. It sits firmly at the apex of its classification and even ranks in the upper-middle tiers when viewed within the broader ecologi...

At the farthest edge of the Ancient Tree's influence, a massive Anjanath trudged heavily toward a small creek and began gulping down water with loud, gurgling noises.
Surveying the familiar hunting ground, it thought—after five years, it had finally returned!
Unfortunately, its luck didn’t seem so great. In such a vast area, there wasn’t a single herbivore in sight. Perhaps the Rathalos had just passed through and hunted recently.

Urgent cries came from the nest’s opening. A Grimalkyne that had gone on patrol burst in, clearly panicked, sprinting on all fours straight to the chief.
The two Grimalkynes meowed back and forth rapidly, exchanging information at lightning speed.
Their abnormal behavior stirred a sense of unease in Logan. Today was Aki’s turn to go out hunting. If something had gone wrong, would it affect her?
Soon, their exchange ended, and the Grimalkyne c...

A week later.
Without fully understanding why, Logan suddenly found himself with a group of Grimalkyne 'guards'. He couldn’t quite remember what he had been thinking at the time—but somehow, he had agreed.
Now, as multiple Grimalkynes bustled in and out of his nest, moving in pairs, huffing and puffing as they carried branches, with a mature-looking one up high directing the placement of each stick, Logan realized—maybe agreeing wasn’t so bad after all.

The intertwined trunks of the Ancient Tree formed natural hollow corridors that spread out in every direction like a maze.
The two Grimalkynes navigated these passages with ease, familiar with every turn, until they finally reached a hidden part of the outer canopy.
This area was wrapped in thick, ancient branches, with only thin gaps allowing sunlight to filter through. These branches not only concealed the space but also shielded it from the gaze of flying wyverns. Even if a Rat...

His blood coursed faster and faster, his heart pounded at full speed, and the surging strength hidden within his body sent his nerves into a frenzy of excitement.
Flames surged along his wings, tail, and the ridges on his head.

The hierarchy among Rathalos was strict—those males nesting closer to the top of the Ancient Tree were stronger, and naturally, so were their mates.
Logan didn’t recklessly charge upward. The Ancient Tree was enormous—even circling it once took a considerable amount of time.

“Ugh… this tastes awful.”
Logan bit into the thick hide of the Anjanath, chewed on a piece of meat, and then gave up.
If the meat of an herbivore could be considered Grade A—tender, delicious, and glistening—then Anjanath meat would barely make Grade C. It was stringy and dry, like gnawing on an overcooked steak. Not only did it taste bad, but it was tough to chew—edible at best, but just barely.
Aki also took a single bite before losing interest. Fortunately, th...
