236 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

Finally, under your intense gaze, Isshiki's entire body burst into radiant light, which then instantly contracted.

A divine shard slowly descended into the center of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's chest.

"Although it's not quite perfect yet, this power..."

"Are you done talking yet?!"

You snapped him out of his narcissistic monologue with a brutal uppercut.

Time to fight.

Isshiki slowly opened his eyes, still slightly self-satisfied. With a flicker of Daikokuten, he ...

154 Scourge of the Ninja World

As white smoke appeared, the trees around Gekko Chizan were instantly crushed.

Two massive bodies suddenly emerged on the forest battlefield.

One blue, one gold.

They were the Azure-Scale Serpent and the Golden Python—Kurohebi and Jinlin.

"Hmph, kid, I was sleeping and you called me here!"

"Huh? The smell of blood—is this a battlefield?"

Kurohebi began complaining the moment she appeared, clearly unhappy with Gekko Chizan. But halfway through her compla...

153 Scourge of the Ninja World

West of Konohagakure, a force of five hundred troops was assembling.

Standing at the very front of the formation was none other than one of the Legendary Sannin—Tsunade.

At that moment, Tsunade was grumbling in annoyance.

"Damn old man, sending even me onto the battlefield. I mean, I clearly..."

"Whatever, I don't even know what's going on anymore... ugh..."

As she spoke, Tsunade looked up at the sky. Amid the cloud-filled sky, it felt as if two people were wat...

"Quick, go save Yukimi!"

Kinoe struggled to get up and shouted,

"She was taken by Orochimaru!"

"See? That's the price of not staying with your teammates."

Kiyosuke shook his head.

"Give me a moment."

He entered Sage Mode to sense Orochimaru's location. Yukimi's chakra was with him. Opening his eyes and exiting Sage Mode, he said,

"Found them. Follow me."

He led the two of them running through a web of underground tunnels. No one knew how long th...

The two pursued their target all the way to a marketplace not far from the Iburi clan's settlement, where they finally found Kinoe.

"Where's that little girl?" they asked.

"She's over there."

Kinoe pointed to a young man devouring grilled corn, completely ignoring his appearance and manners.

"You're saying she's controlling that guy's body?"

Kiyosuke stroked his chin.

"Yes."

He gave Kiyosuke a complicated look. The gap in their strength was simply too...

Renya walked down the bustling street, carrying a food box in his hand. The nearby vendors were loudly hawking their goods.

Looking at the increasingly prosperous village, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Konoha has really flourished."

Just a few years ago, the village wasn't nearly this lively.

Now, many merchants had come to Konoha to do business, and all kinds of village infrastructure had been upgraded.

All of this was thanks to the Senju brothers and how...

"Who's there?!"

The sudden voice made Uchiha Tanaka's body stiffen.

He immediately stepped back, instinctively putting distance between himself and the sound.

When he turned around and saw who it was, cold sweat instantly beaded down his forehead.

Uchiha Tanaka's face turned pale.

"Why are you here, Hokage-sama?"

This was the Uchiha Clan's meeting hall. How did this guy manage to sneak in without making a sound...

Thank goodness he didn't come with ma...

"Smack!"

A slap landed on Renya's head, and he instinctively grabbed his head.

"Ow! What was that for, old man?" Renya looked aggrieved.

No one would be happy about getting hit out of the blue, especially in front of so many people. Didn't he care about his image?

Senju Tobirama shot him a glare. "You've been getting more and more arrogant lately."

With a personality like his, always refusing to take a loss, Tobirama felt it was only a matter of time before Renya...

Uchiha Tanaka's step suddenly halted mid-stride.

He turned sharply, face dark and voice cold, as he looked toward Senju Tobirama.

"Tobirama-sama, what is the meaning of this? You're not letting us leave?!"

His youngest son had already been beaten by that traitor, and now they weren't even allowed to go? Tobirama was clearly targeting him!

Tanaka's expression grew even uglier at the thought, eyes blazing with fury as his Sharingan activated, spinning into three tomoe. 2025-07-05 20:02:55 +0000 UTC View Post

"Ahhhhh—!"

Uchiha Retsu let out a blood-curdling scream. It was clear his ribs had been broken.

Seeing this, Uchiha Shun instinctively furrowed his brows, but said nothing.

"Remember this—know your place and act good in front of someone stronger."

Renya looked down at Retsu with cold eyes, his tone mocking.

He truly couldn't understand what Retsu was thinking…

Clearly a weakling, yet he dared to provoke someone stronger than him.

Wasn't that jus...

Country of Rivers, in front of a certain estate.

It was raining. The curtain of rain fell like fine silver threads.

Heaven and earth were shrouded in a hazy mist.

In the distance, three figures slowly approached the estate.

They wore black bamboo hats, the hanging fringe swaying gently in the rain, obscuring their faces.

"This is the employer's residence," Danzo said, glancing at the mission map in his hand.

"Something feels off. I think we...

Renya stepped forward and dispelled the genjutsu affecting the two of them.

It was only then that Danzō and Koharu realized they had been under a genjutsu.

"Damn it, when the hell did it happen?" Danzō clenched his fists.

He hadn't even noticed he'd been caught in a genjutsu.

If it hadn't been for Renya, he'd already be dead...

"Renya-kun, who was that person just now?" Koharu asked.

She still remembered seeing a pair of Sharingan... and then everything w...

083 Adopted by the Second Hokage!

Renya watched as Uchiha Tanaka walked away, his expression unchanged.

The grudge between them was now set in stone.

Since Uchiha Tanaka wanted to kill him, there was no way he would let the man off easy.

He had to find a chance to strike first.

Otherwise, constantly being watched would eventually lead to trouble.

And perhaps, the one he would have to face in the future wouldn't just be Tanaka alone...

Still, he wasn't afraid in the slightest. One day, he wo...

Senju Tobirama stood with his arms crossed, frowning as he looked at Uchiha Tanaka.

He had originally thought Tanaka was trying to poach Renya. Who would've expected the two to actually start fighting?

He had arrived late and hadn't heard their earlier conversation.

But even so, Tobirama firmly chose to stand on Renya's side.

If nothing else, just the fact that this kid dared to fight his own clan head made him quite pleased.

It meant Renya wasn't one of those bl...

(T/N: I know we used to have a Senju Tanaka, but this Uchiha has the same name.)

Land of Fire, somewhere in a forest.

After traveling for some time, the three of them decided to rest here.

Renya leaned against a tree, looking at the mission scroll in his hand.

Shimura Danzō and Koharu Utatane sat not far away.

"Renya-kun, why is this mission location so far away?" Koharu asked with a puzzled expression.

Shimura Danzō turned his head when ...

"When are you planning to go out on a mission, brat?"

Seeing Renya walk in carrying a food box, Senju Tobirama couldn't help but ask.

He was starting to think that if Renya didn't leave for missions, he'd get to eat hot meals every day.

Sure, he could go out and buy food or cook for himself, but nothing compared to Renya's cooking.

His taste buds had been completely spoiled...

If the food wasn't made by Renya himself, he'd rather eat ration pills.

"After I ...

Senju Tobirama didn't speak. He simply picked up the scroll from the table.

After glancing at it, he found that the sealing technique on the scroll was indeed a bit complex.

But at this level, it wasn't difficult for him to unravel.

"Here." Senju Tobirama handed the scroll to Renya. "It's unlocked."

Renya was a bit surprised.

"That fast?"

He knew this wouldn't stump Senju Tobirama, but he hadn't expected it to be opened this quickly.

He thoug...

Renya stopped what he was doing and walked toward Koharu Utatane.

As he approached, he saw Koharu pointing at a corpse in the pit.

"Renya-kun, is this person from your Uchiha clan?"

Renya instinctively looked at the corpse—though to call it a corpse was generous, as it was already a skeleton.

The ribs at the chest were broken. Clearly, this person had died from a stab wound to the heart.

Most of the black robe covering the body had decayed beyond recognition, b...

"Sorry, but you guys aren't allowed to take on A-Rank missions for the time being."

Inside the mission assignment hall, the staff member looked at the three of them with a slightly apologetic expression.

"What are you talking about? How could we not be allowed?!" Danzo couldn't help but retort. "With the strength of our team, forget A-Rank— even S-Rank missions are no problem!"

Indeed, a team consisting of one jōnin and two tokubetsu jōnin was eligible to take on S-Rank ...

"Kid, where are you going?"

Renya put on his flak jacket and adjusted his ninja tool pouch, securing Immaculate at his waist.

Just as he stepped out of the house, he ran into Senju Tobirama.

"Tobirama-san, I'm heading to the mission hall to take on a task," Renya explained.

Senju Tobirama frowned instinctively, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

"You're leaving again right after returning to the village?"

Could this kid really not sit still at home?

"Big Brother, you're back."

At the gates of Konoha, upon sensing the chakra of the two returning figures, Senju Tobirama immediately halted his experiment and rushed to the entrance to welcome them.

Although he appeared calm and composed on the surface, deep down he was terrified that his brother would find out he had been tampering with the souls of the dead.

After all, the technique [Edo Tensei] wasn't like other forbidden jutsu—it was, frankly, quite cruel.

"The roots of the plants growing here are deeper than anywhere else... their vitality is far more tenacious than I imagined!"

Hashirama squatted in the middle of the desert, crouched down with great interest as he studied a few small plants on the ground.

He reached out and gently brushed the plants with his fingers. As chakra poured in, the plants quickly began to grow, blossoming into clusters of small purple flowers.

Only after doing all this did Hashirama stand up cheerf...

"You're sure the God of Shinobi is really here?" Byakuren asked his subordinates in disbelief.

He couldn't understand it—why would Senju Hashirama come to Kirigakure and not cause trouble right away, but instead... go eat?

Could it be... he wants to have a full meal before starting a fight?

Byakuren's sharp eyes scanned the surroundings as he gave orders to his subordinates.

"Seal off the area. Don't let anyone in."

After all, he was about to apologize. It woul...

A light morning mist veiled the harbor of Village.

Two figures boarded a fisherman's boat.

Renya's gaze swept over the barrels on the deck, noting they were packed full of ice.

Clearly, it was for transporting seafood...

After all, bringing seafood inland from the Land of Water took time. If it spoiled midway, the loss would be significant.

He looked out over the endless stretch of sea and murmured,

"This place really is cut off from the rest of the world."...

Early morning, at the hot springs inn.

Hashirama carefully tucked the sleeping Tanihana into his arms, his bamboo pack stuffed full with fish cakes the proprietress had forcefully given them.

These were snacks for Tanihana to eat along the road.

Renya had changed back into his black combat gear, fastening sword at his waist.

The two of them left Yukigakure together, side by side.

"Renya, where to next?" Hashirama said. "I've heard the Cloudfall i...

The mustached man turned into smoke and slipped into Kiyosuke's body.

Inside, all he could see was endless fire. Flames surrounded him on all sides. Though they didn't hurt him, there was nowhere to escape.

Hearing what Kiyosuke said, his expression instantly changed. He had thought the kid was bluffing—turns out it was true.

This person had a body type similar to their own clan's.

At that moment, he heard Kiyosuke continue.

Far from Konoha, deep within the forest, Orochimaru clutched his wound. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead as he struggled forward, his breath ragged. He knew exactly what he was about to face. He couldn't afford to stop now.

As long as he could reach that place... just reach that place... he absolutely couldn't stop!

He never imagined there would be a day he'd end up so miserable. Gasping for breath, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

There was no war. Life was peaceful.

Kiyosuke's daily routine was simple: take care of the kids, go on missions, take care of the kids again, and go on more missions.

Life was plain, uneventful, and incredibly dull.

But recently, more and more shinobi had gone missing from the village. Even ordinary civilians in the surrounding areas had started to disappear. That was when Kiyosuke realized—Orochimaru's defection was drawing near.

That morning, he was basking in the ...

Time flew by quickly.

Before long, Itachi was recommended for early graduation due to his outstanding performance at the Academy—becoming a prodigy who graduated after just one year, just like Kakashi.

One day, while Kiyosuke was looking after the kids, Itachi suddenly ran over, his eyes glowing red as he looked up at him.
