"What an overwhelming presence..."
As the sound of footsteps echoed through the hall, everyone who didn't have a seat—regardless of strength—collapsed to the ground, eyes rolled back, minds blank.
The precision of this Conqueror's Haki control was extraordinary.
"Crack... crack..."
Ferocious black and red lightning stormed across the venue, writhing and surging like fangs and claws.
The sound of every heartbeat seemed to match the rhythm of the footsteps.

After painting a grand vision for Umit, Orin patted him on the shoulder and told him to head to the meeting first.
Pure Gold was indeed important, but after so many days, a short delay for the meeting wouldn't make much of a difference.
Besides, someone out there was bound to be in even more of a hurry than he was.
Umit had offered a hefty reward for any information on the lanternfish—there was no way that would go unnoticed.
Lesser powers might overlook it, but orga...

If things kept going like this, even with Susanoo's powerful defenses, they had no way to strike back.
Sooner or later, Momoshiki would find an opening. And once even one of them fell, their entire formation would collapse.
Not only was Susanoo consuming chakra, it was also draining Sasuke's Ocular Power. Though the Rinnegan's power was immense, it wasn't limitless. Neji's support couldn't restore Ocular Power.
The same went for Naruto's Yang Release.
Even though Kuram...

With his strength restored, Momoshiki leapt into the air, conjuring a deep crimson spiral with his bare hands and hurling it straight at the armored Susanoo below.
The earlier humiliating defeat, along with repeated setbacks, had completely enraged this young prodigy of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Prideful and furious, he now intended to annihilate the trio who had shamed him with a single, decisive blow.
The crimson energy vortex surged forward at high speed, and Momoshiki himself...

After leaving the ruins of Uzushiogakure, Kiyosuke didn't return to Konoha immediately.
The leave he had requested from Sarutobi Hiruzen wasn't over yet, and there was no rush to head back.
Instead, he went north—toward Kusagakure.
He remembered that Karin, also a member of the Uzumaki clan, was still there.
Since he had taken items from the Uzumaki clan, it was only natural to look after their descendants.
Because of Uzushiogakure's destruction, the Uzumaki cl...

The border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water.
Inside a dilapidated ancient castle, Kiyosuke strolled through the ruins, gazing at the crumbling walls around him and letting out a sigh.
This used to be Uzushiogakure... and now it's ended up like this.
Uzushiogakure was once a village founded by the Uzumaki clan. There were no other ninja clans here—only the Uzumaki.
This clan shared blood ties with the Senju, and along with the Uchiha and Senju, they were...

Hearing the name "Nawaki," Orochimaru's pupils suddenly contracted.
Nawaki was Tsunade's younger brother and also Orochimaru's first disciple.
Unfortunately, he died during the Second Great Ninja War. Orochimaru had never forgotten Nawaki's death.
It was from that point on that Orochimaru began to feel how fragile humans really were.
Though the name didn't affect Orochimaru much, it was a different story for Tsunade.
Orochimaru looked slightly surprised at the un...

In Training Ground Twelve, Minato was demonstrating the Rasengan technique to Takeshi and the others.
Not far away, Kushina sat with a soft smile on her lips, gazing at Minato with deep affection in her eyes.
This was a jutsu Minato had created for her—it was a testament to their love.

He slammed the Rasengan into a nearby practice dummy, ins...

Obito called out softly to Takeshi, who was standing in front of him, seemingly lost in thought.
"What are you staring at so intently?"
Curious, Obito peeked into the room, only to see Jiraiya sitting there red-faced and stammering incoherently.

Inside the royal palace of Alabasta, Vivi gazed at the endless forest stretching across the horizon. Deep down, she had a feeling it had something to do with that Admiral.
The common people, however, believed it to be a miracle sent from the heavens. They dropped to their knees one after another, overwhelmed with gratitude and awe.
As king, Cobra naturally didn't believe in divine miracles. Like Vivi, he was certain that this was all the work of Kaito.

Crocodile flinched.

After Kaito finished speaking, he didn't bother saying anything more to Aokiji. He understood Aokiji's personality well—he wasn't the kind of man who would sell him out.
Besides, Kaito wasn't afraid of the World Government at all anymore. What he said just now was only meant to plant a seed in Aokiji's heart. When the time was right, it would naturally sprout and grow.
He turned to look at Robin again. At this moment, Robin still wore a dazed expression, her mind clearly not yet...

In the blink of an eye, the entire world had turned into a frozen wasteland. Across from Kaito stood Aokiji, frozen solid, his face still locked in an expression of disbelief.
That's right—he, a user of the Ice-Ice Fruit, had actually been frozen!
Normally, as a Logia-type user, he could merge with the surrounding ice and escape, but the mom...

Out of long-standing friendship, Orochimaru at least listened to Jiraiya recount his experience in Amegakure, before being drawn to the matter of Hanzō.
Jiraiya, who had already guessed Orochimaru would be interested in Hanzō, immediately took out a scroll. When the smoke cleared, all the ninja fragments of Hanzō appeared before Orochimaru.

Bringing Nagato back to Konoha was a decision Jiraiya had made after careful consideration.
There were too many mysteries surrounding Amegakure—whether it was Hanzo's sudden betrayal, or the mysterious figure who ambushed Nagato using an unknown genjutsu. Clearly, Akatsuki alone couldn't uncover the truth behind it all.
In Jiraiya's eyes, the only one capable of unraveling Hanzo's mystery was his old friend.
It was also the perfect opportunity to transplant a new pair of e...

"Why do you have such deep hostility toward Kumogakure?"
"Are you the enemy of Kumogakure?"
Yugito could sense dissatisfaction and disdain toward Kumogakure in Gekko Chizan's words, which made her very curious. Although she wasn't officially a ninja of Kumogakure yet, that was only because she was still too young. As the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, she would definitely become a Kumogakure shinobi in the future—possibly even a central pillar of the village.

Yugito Nii was a proud girl by nature. There was no way she'd lower her head so easily, let alone believe something Chizan said.

He was always most motivated when facing kids like this—stubborn and full of pride.

That grip is strong!
Kiyosuke smiled.
"You can let go now. I'll take you there."
He led Kushina out of the basement and toward Naruto's room, gently pushing open the door.
In the small room, Naruto was fast asleep on the bed. Moonlight streamed through the window, casting a soft glow on his face. His sleeping posture wasn't exactly graceful—both arms were flung up on either side of his head, and one leg was sticking out from under the blanket.
"Naruto…"

Ninja corpses lay scattered across the ground, some from Konoha, some from Kumogakure.
An intense battle had erupted between the two sides...
