“I really didn’t expect Danzō to actually want to meet with Hanzō of the Salamander.”
Inside the base of the Land of Rain, Black Zetsu held the letter in his hand as he found Nagato. Beside them, Uchiha Obito also looked utterly baffled.
He couldn’t quite figure it out—was Danzō seeking death?
“Danzō… wants to meet Hanzō?”
It wasn’t just Obito. Nagato’s expression was equally strange.
“So, does this mean we can take the opportunity to e...

Yamanaka Inoichi, Nara Shikaku, and Akimichi Chōza—
The sudden appearance of the three made Sarutobi Hiruzen freeze for a moment.
But very quickly, he recovered. At once, he understood why they had rushed here in the middle of the night.
No doubt…
It was to take Uchiha Keizumi’s side!
After all, some time ago, Inoichi had already decided to stand with [Absolute Justice]. And as the allies of the Yamanaka clan, the Nara and Akimichi clans would, naturally, ...

Just as Logan was happily envisioning the future, a rush of wind pressure swept over him. He didn’t even need to look up—he already knew Aki had returned.
After more than ten years side by side, their familiarity had reached the point where even the flow of air stirred by beating wings was enough to tell whether it came from the other.
But today… the sound of Aki’s wingbeats was a little heavy. Was she in a bad mood?
Logan lifted his head toward her, and sure enough...

Whatever decision Danzō made, it didn’t have much to do with Kitagawa Gen.
Gen’s days were still going rather well. He had even taken the time to test out his technique, Puppet-Cursing Sphere.
“The results are pretty good. Even though Kisame’s will is firm, this jutsu depends mainly on the strength of chakra.”
Taking part in Kisame’s interrogation wasn’t such a big deal anyway. Yamanaka Inoichi treated him quite well.
Probably because Gen was something o...

“Those are ANBU shinobi, aren’t they?” Yamanaka Inoichi watched as more than a dozen figures vanished into the distance. After a moment’s thought, he said, “I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but there’s no harm in going to take a look.”
Beside him, also roused by the disturbance, Nara Shikaku spoke up: “That direction seems to be toward the Sarutobi compound. Maybe it’s just the Hokage mobilizing the ANBU.”
But just as the two were speaking, a small fig...

Logan spread his wings and soared among the clouds. With winter gone, the sky no longer carried that biting chill.
Spotting a flock of Noios in the midst of their daily migration, he dove straight in, seized one, and with a firm twist of his talons snapped its neck before beginning the flight home.
At the border between the wasteland and the forest lay the dwelling place of the Ancient Tree Fire Wyverns.
Even from afar, high above the nesting grounds, the temperature here wa...

“Forget it. Let’s leave it at that.”
Hiruzen sighed. He no longer wanted to dwell on the matter.
In the end, Gen and Kakashi hadn’t done poorly. Letting Zabuza, a rogue shinobi, take the blame while Konoha reaped a fortune—two birds with one stone.
Gato was scum to begin with—dead or alive made no difference.
The problem was that the matter hadn’t been handled cleanly.
The shinobi world had its rules, certain unspoken understandings that everyone ab...

“There’s one more thing.”
Gen rose to his feet, suddenly pulling out a kunai and tossing it down. The blade struck the earth right in front of Zabuza and Haku.
“Kid, what’s the meaning of this?”
Both Zabuza and Haku looked puzzled at the weapon. Gen only smiled as he spoke.
“When it comes to things like this, the fewer people who know, the better. And since you’re rogue ninja from Kirigakure, it could affect relations between Konoha and Kiri. So…”

Gen regarded Kisame calmly, giving a small nod.
“I imagine Konoha’s Torture and Interrogation Division would love a man with your kind of grit.”

“Your growth is impressive.”
Itachi silently acknowledged Sasuke and Naruto as they attacked in unison, coordinating their movements with surprising fluidity.
Their teamwork was decent, their performance commendable—but still nowhere near the level he demanded.

Kisame didn’t show a trace of arrogance. He spoke in a low tone.
“Otherwise, none of us will be walking away. This guy is terrifying…”

“Those who obstruct justice—shall be killed without mercy.”

In the swamplands, four Ancient Tree Fire Wyvern Grimalkynes were pushing a wooden board. A gravely wounded hunter lay atop it, clutching his injuries, his face pale. Blood poured relentlessly from the wounds in his waist and thigh.
Another researcher, guarded by the Grimalkynes, was fending off waves of juvenile Jyuratodus drawn in by the scent of blood. Yet there were simply too many of them, and the group’s advance slowed to a crawl.
Not far from them, two Barroths were thras...
