Kaito withdrew his gaze. He had already gotten the answer he was looking for.
Just now, in that remote confrontation with Imu, he had seen a pair of "eyes."
They were crimson Rinnegan, but the ripple pattern didn't cover the whole eye—only two concentric rings were visible.
Of course, just from appearance alone, Kaito couldn't be sure. But as someone who also possessed the Rinnegan, he could sense a familiar aura emanating from those eyes.
It was the aura of a "kin."...

Land of Fire, Northern Central Town — Residence of the noble Fujiwara clan.
Fujiwara Kōya, the head of the clan, had completely lost his former composure. He curled up under a table, tightly covering his mouth with both hands, forcing himself not to make a sound.
"How dare you, you insolent ninja! This is the territory of the noble Fujiwara clan! How dare you intrude!"
In the courtyard, a middle-aged samurai in plain clothing held his sword with both hand...

The black threads on Kakuzu's body had already gathered together, forming several terrifying tentacles like octopus limbs.
He stared intently at the last ember flickering out, not daring to relax for even a second.
Nothing remained.
Everything in his field of vision had been consumed by the sea of flames, leaving only a scorched, barren ground behind.
"You done performing?"
Just as Kakuzu thought Takeshi had been reduced to ashes, a mocking voice rang out behind ...

"Chizan, what exactly are you trying to do?"
"Matatabi's temper isn't actually that hot. She may look like she's all fire on the outside, but she's got a really nice personality."
Hearing Chōmei's attitude toward the Two-Tails, Gekko Chizan was slightly surprised.
"Oh? Chōmei, that's an unusual tone you're using for Matatabi."
"Hmph, of course! Matatabi isn't like Gyūki. She's incredibly gentle. I'd say, aside from those two bastards Shukaku and Kurama, there's...

Chōmei's emotional perception was incredibly sharp.
Right now, he could feel the Eight-Tails' Jinchūriki, Killer Bee, was filled with rage—and even a hint of madness.
He was a newly appointed Jinchūriki, and the fact that he could control the Eight-Tails' power in such a short time already proved his exceptional talent.
But after all, he wasn't a perfect Jinchūriki. Once his emotions spiraled out of control, the Eight-Tails might very well break free from the seal and ...

"When are we heading to the battlefield?" Renya suddenly asked.
Since the old man had told them about the situation, it was obvious they were expected to go to the Kumogakure front.
"No rush. You should all rest for a couple of days first," Senju Tobirama said gently. "You've all worked hard these past few months."
Now that the pressure on the village had eased, it was only natural for the three of them, as the Hokage's disciples, to be granted some privileges.

After three months, Renya finally returned to Konoha.
On the way back, he saw Nara Motoha and the others patrolling the border.
Nara Mikage doted on his son, Nara Motoha, endlessly...
With the war on the verge of breaking out, he had sent Motoha to the rear lines to slack off.
No need to risk his life fighting on the front lines, no need to face death.
Even so, Motoha wasn't satisfied.
He kept complaining to Renya about how boring life in the rear was, sayi...

At this moment inside the Rain Dinners casino,
Countless gamblers stared wide-eyed, their eyes bloodshot, as they fixated on the pieces of paper Orin was casually flicking in his hand.
1.6 trillion???
Just hearing that number made everything feel surreal.
Yet no one dared make a move. They merely sat there with scalp-numbing tension, witnessing this unprecedentedly extravagant gambling scene.
However, Crocodile's reaction clearly let them down.

Upon hearing this,
Whether it was the casino staff or the old gamblers who'd been around for years, they all secretly chuckled in their hearts.
Before any gamble begins, everyone imagines the goddess of victory standing at their side.
After all, when they had first stepped into the world of gambling, they were just as confident as Orin, even winning several rounds in a row at the start.
After experiencing how easy, thrilling, and profitable it seemed, the idea of worki...

Huh?
The strongest woman in the world?
Hearing that familiar name, Orin was a bit surprised, but then found it perfectly reasonable.
Back when he was a kid reading newspapers, he often saw this famous beauty from the Rocks Pirates' ship.
Though he'd heard that in recent years, she had started putting on some weight.
If it had been the young version of Linlin before she joined the Rocks Pirates, Orin might have been interested. But now, he felt nothing at all.

Because he possessed the most powerful brain, not only could he comprehend advanced technology, but he also saw through worldly affairs and interest-driven relationships with perfect clarity.
Even so, he still had to admit the power of money was truly difficult to resist.

The giants didn't show any hostility—in fact, by the end, they even warmly invited Orin to visit Elbaf again.

He still had a lot on his plate.
Under the strange gazes of Dragon and Vegapunk from afar, Orin quickly bonded with the giants.

West Blue, Ohara.
Once a lush forest island, now reduced to ruins.
The towering tree that symbolized knowledge had already fallen.
The Buster Call from the World Government had long since retreated, and this place was supposed to be deserted from now on.
Yet at the edge of the island, several giant ships were docked.
A few giants were using nets to dredge something from a lake books.
Even after being soaked, the books were still in excellen...

After giving Morgans his final instructions, Orin no longer paid the matter any attention.
In his eyes, betrayal was simply not possible—at least not as long as those so-called "rulers of the underground world" still wanted to stay alive.
Now that Morgans had been subdued, and with access to global intelligence, unrestricted teleportation, and Conqueror's Haki Infusion, he had become a fully-fledged human erasure machine.

Reunions always have to come to an end.

Watching Morgans fidget like he had a fart he couldn't let out,
Orin raised an eyebrow. Something didn't feel right, but he didn't say anything more.
He didn't believe this guy would dare pretend to obey while acting against him. If he did, Orin would just quietly follow the news seagulls back to headquarters and shoot him dead on the spot.
Seeing Morgans still lost in thought, Orin continued slowly:

Inside the grand and lavish palace hall,
The usually scruffy old Keek was, for once, wearing glasses and staring seriously at the report in his hands.
"You almost look the part for once, old man."
Hearing that voice, Keek looked up to see a young man in a dark red suit and a black overcoat.
He was well over three meters tall, with long legs, a perfectly muscular build, long black hair, and sharp, chiseled features—"handsome" was an understatement.

Upon hearing that flattering, obsequious tone of greeting, Orin's mood was also quite good.

On the Den Den Mushi's face, Spandine's sycophantic smile was portrayed with uncanny realism.
This guy really did have the chops to climb the ranks—it's no wonder the Elders liked using him.

Staring at the man seated high on the throne, the young king momentarily forgot his rage and doubts, and instead blurted out a question.
But no one answered him.
The tall young man, legs crossed, simply extended a finger toward his head as if joking around.

Before the terrified nobles, their king tilted his head and collapsed to the floor, his life or death unknown.
There was no wound, no trace of blood.

Orin's words were calm, as if he were just talking about having a meal or a drink of water. But to the townspeople, it felt surreal.
They looked at the boy they had watched grow up, now a man capable of determining the fate of an entire nation. The emotion was overwhelming, and many felt a chill down their spines.

A small seaside town,
The once peaceful atmosphere was long gone. Every house had its doors and windows tightly shut.
On the road outside town,

"So this is the Calm Belt—there really is no wind here."
It was Orin's first time visiting the Calm Belt.

Completely unaware that he'd been labeled "ungrateful" by Keek,

Looking at the absolute garbage hand he'd drawn, Orin was already regretting teaching them how to play.

He was probably going to traumatize this poor child for life.

The ignorant islanders, who had believed themselves to be safe, once again plunged into panic.

No one could survive this disaster-like power!
After all, not everyone is named Orin.
