The meeting stretched on for quite a while. After all, what they were discussing today would determine the strategic direction for the next decade. Any misstep could become a major issue—there was no room for carelessness.
At the main gate of the base, Carlos and the Huntsman stood with the Admiral, seeing him off.
The Admiral—now mo...

"Our enemy is far beyond anything we imagined," Asuma said in a grave voice. "This is going to be a life-or-death battle."
Then—
He shared all the intel he had gathered with the rest of the group.
Even Kazuma, who had been wearing a sneer the whole time, began to look serious.
"Oi, oi..." Kazuma muttered, rubbing his fingertips along the edge of his kunai.
"Not even a little exaggeration in there? That guy... he's seriously running nonstop 24/7 without a break?...

Just as Logan was marveling at how quickly the cats were growing, an unfamiliar scent of blood drifted in with the wind.
Looking up, he saw Aki flying back, clutching the corpse of a monster. She dropped it to the ground, gave Logan a gentle call, then turned and walked toward the reservoir to wash her claws.
Logan stepped forward and cu...

In the southernmost hunting grounds of the Ancient Tree region, Aki was wandering leisurely through the area, a faint sense of unease creeping in.
She had been staking out the hunting ground for quite some time now, but up to this point, she hadn’t seen even a single Aptonoth.
That was strange—this hunting ground was nestled in a de...

Ancient Forest, at a distant hunting ground—
Logan and Aki soared together through the sky, playfully chasing each other and climbing ever higher.
Suddenly, Logan stopped midair. With a flap of his wings, he hovered in place, his sharp eyes locked onto something far off in the distance.
He watched as the temperature of the air began to rise. Flocks of Wingdrakes scattered in panic.
Even some Rathalos nesting in remote corners of the Ancient Forest flew out of the woo...

After mocking Jon’s reckless ambition, Kal turned and walked toward a nearby thicket.
Before Jon could even ask what he was doing, he saw Kal bend down and pick up the sword that Jon had dropped earlier in his panic.
“As a warrior, I can't imagine ever throwing away your weapon,” Kal said, his voice sharp with judgment.
“Seems you’ve already forgotten what I told you the day I gave you this sword… And until you realize what you've just done—you no longer have t...

“You’re sure this is the way?!”
Kal asked casually as he followed behind Jon Snow, who was hacking away at the overgrown trail with his longsword—the path choked by thorns and weeds from long neglect.
But Kal’s gaze wasn’t on his squire. It remained fixed in the direction of the ruined tower.
Jon’s eyesight wasn’t as sharp, but through the mist rising from Winterfell, he could just barely make out a shifting black speck atop the broken tower.

"Again?"
On the Moon, the three Ōtsutsuki elders had gathered.
Their expressions were grim, because the power of the Tenseigan had been activated once more.
For a moment, all of them were questioning the same thing—who was it that kept triggering the Tenseigan’s power, and what was he after?
Why did he keep doing this at intervals? What was the point of it?
"This time, the energy fluctuation wasn’t that strong—not like before."
The Great Elder’s ...

The Mangekyō Sharingan was already considered the most powerful evolution the Sharingan could reach through natural progression.
And yet, even with such eyes, the three of them felt an inexplicable sense of pressure when facing this mysterious stranger.
The flickering radiance in his eyes made their chests feel faintly constricted.
“What the hell is going on here?”
All three of them had the same thought, but it was especially pronounced in Uchiha Obito—his gaze ...

[Boom—]
Just as the Teostra was breathing fire toward a distant Hunter, it suddenly turned its head—the searing column of flame shot straight toward the Huntsman at close range.
“No time to dodge!”
Caught off guard by the sudden change, the quick-thinking Huntsman bent the hand gripping his sword. The greatsword’s broad blade rose like a shield before him.
His feet sank deep into the scalding sand. The blazing breath—hot enough to melt steel—was firmly he...

Waiting was agonizing—especially when waiting near an Elder Dragon.
The Teostra itself was like a massive heat source. Even after drinking a cool drink, the waves of high-temperature air carried by the wind made the oppressive heat unbearable for everyone.
Even the Canynes began panting heavily, mouths agape and tongues lolling.
At that moment, the Teostra—who hadn’t moved at all—suddenly stood up. Its wings spread with a trembling motion, fire-aligned energy surged ...

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood silently, his brows tightly furrowed as he puffed sharply on his pipe, staring at the now-empty office doorway. Just as he was mulling over how to rein in the Uchiha clan and force them into behaving—at least for a little while—

“…Asuma?!”
Hiruzen blinked in surprise. “Weren’t you in the capital of the Land of Fire just recently?”
Asuma stepped inside, closed the door, and leaned against t...

With a heavy thud, his entire body was sent flying. But before Chiriku could get far, an inexplicable repulsive force suddenly manifested midair.

He was slammed violently into the ground. The impact, intensified by that repulsive force, cracked the very earth beneath him.

The surrounding monks were completely bewildered. None of them could make sense of what they’d just witnessed—but a few of the sharper...

The woman seemed to have been swayed by the man’s reassurances. After a few seconds of silence, she made her decision and brought up an old concern.
"We have to keep a close eye on him."
"And on that bastard son of his—we need to come up with a plan. I truly believe Joffrey wasn’t lying!"
The man clearly understood what she meant, but he didn’t seem to have much of a reaction.
His voice remained flat, even bored, as he replied, "Joffrey was just frightened… W...

In the Land of Fire, Kitagawa Gen’s figure suddenly flashed into view within a secluded mountain valley.
“Finally, I can stretch my legs a bit.”
Standing atop a tall tree, he gazed over the dense forest bathed in moonlight and gave his neck a gentle twist.
He had spent nearly a month tying up loose ends in Konoha. With most matters settled and a shadow clone left behind to cover for him, he’d wasted no time slipping away.
The past month had been surprisingly fu...

“Say, Falcon, are Canynes really hard to raise? I hadn’t even heard of them before I met you.”
“Not at all,” Falcon replied with a gentle smile as he continued stroking his Canyne. “The training success rate for Canynes is about the same as that of Felyne companions. The reason you haven’t heard of them is probably because my village is too remote. Even if we have extra Canynes, they’re usually prioritized for shipment to Elgado across the sea.”

In the classroom where white feathers still floated gently down…
“Guh—cough, cough, cough…”
Sasuke clung tightly to Uchiha Itachi’s arm, trying to pry it away.
But even though Itachi’s build wasn’t particularly bulky, his grip around Sasuke’s neck was like a steel vice—utterly unbreakable, no matter how hard Sasuke struggled.
The suffocating pressure was turning Sasuke’s face red and then blue.

The hunting party set out at dawn, and the king’s wish to have a wild boar feast added to tonight’s banquet was being answered quite nicely.
And thanks to Robert’s insistence the day before, Prince Joffrey—who had grown strangely disinclined to go outside since arriving at Winterfell—was finally dragged out of his chambers to join the king on the hunt.
Robb had also heard the news and had been preparing since the night before. Now, he too was riding with the hunters.

Two shocking pieces of news swept through Konoha like a hurricane:
