“…What’s going on?”
Not far outside the Naka Shrine, Uchiha Itachi stared at the clansmen filing out one after another.
He noticed that the first to leave were mostly shinobi of the Police Force—and not just anyone, but well-known Uchiha jōnin.
Then he saw Uchiha Izumi walk out, followed by many other Uchiha shinobi and civilians.
This unexpected development caused the killing intent brewing in his chest to stall for a moment.
His brows furrowed deeply...

Logan had just finished eating the leftover Mosswine from the day before when Aki called for him, urging him toward the leyline Vein Tributary.
Then, to Logan’s astonishment, Aki—still carrying wounds that had not fully healed—flew straight down to the passageway of the tributary, braving the intense heat and stopping there.
Before, she had always halted at the upper entrance of this cavern, unable to bear the heat inside, let alone the te...
