117 The Shimura Has Ice Release

"It worked, Setsuna succeeded, Madara-sama."

Inside Uchiha Madara's secret base, Black Zetsu suddenly appeared and reported the good news to Madara, who was leaning back in his chair.

"Just as you predicted, Uchiha Yōwan has awakened his Sharingan and is heading toward the base."

Even Black Zetsu, who had been watching the whole event unfold, couldn't hide his joy.

After so many years, this was the closest he had ever been to the end of the plan.

All that remain...

"Asakawa Kiyosuke?!"

Ao immediately stood up and hurled the sake in his hand straight at him.

"Damn it! Why the hell are you here?!" Kiyosuke threw his fruit juice in return.

"Ahhh! My eyes! My eyes!"

"My eyes! My eyes!"

Both of them squatted down at the same time, clutching their faces and rinsing their eyes with the hot spring water.

They quickly wrapped towels around their waists and got out of the water, now standing on the surface of the spring.

161 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

A small town in the southern region of the Land of Hot Water.

Known for its beautiful scenery and steaming hot springs, this little town had long attracted visitors from all over. But recently, a spate of disappearances involving outsiders had begun to affect its tourism industry.

Kiyosuke arrived in the town. Inns were everywhere, and the streets bustled with people from all across the nations—dark-skinned men from the Land of Lightning, shark-toothed folks from the Land of Wat...

"Since you want to fight, I naturally won't back down." Renya's gaze was icy cold.

He was already annoyed enough at being dragged here to attend school, and now someone dared to provoke him?

He had to teach this short-sighted fool a harsh lesson to vent his frustration.

Hearing this, Shimura Danzo revealed a smug grin, as if his scheme had succeeded.

"Hmph, brat, you're about to find out what happens when you make me angry!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed helplessly. Da...

014 Adopted by the Second Hokage!

Renya was a bit surprised and curiously sized the two of them up.

Judging by the ages of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, they looked to be around eight or nine years old.

The entry age for the Ninja Academy was between six and seven, so it was clear the two were older than usual.

The two arguing boys noticed his gaze and both looked toward Renya.

"What are you staring at?" Shimura Danzo frowned, clearly annoyed.

He was in the middle of arguing with Hiruzen ov...

A few days later.

News of the founding of the Ninja Academy had already spread throughout the village of Konoha.

The civilians were especially excited upon hearing about it.

They understood that with the establishment of a shinobi school, their children would have the chance to become ninjas. This, in turn, meant the opportunity to change their social standing and their future.

As for the ninja clans, reactions varied—some were shocked, others confus...

Spring passed, and autumn came.

It had already been a year since Renya arrived at the Senju compound.

Over the past year, Renya had maintained a highly disciplined routine, spending nearly every day training.

One could say he was either training—or on the way to training.

Even Senju Tobirama couldn't help but praise Renya's dedication to his training.

Though, Renya had taken quite a few detours in his training...

Senju Tobirama often watc...

Evening arrived.

Seeing that it was about time, Renya headed to the kitchen to make dinner on his own, without needing any reminders from Tobirama.

After experiencing the killing intent Tobirama had released, Renya had completely calmed down.

If it had been before, he definitely would've spiked the other guy's food with chili. But this time, he didn't.

There was no helping it... With his current strength being what it was, he could only play the submis...

010 Adopted by the Second Hokage!

Senju Tobirama's residence.

Renya arrived in the courtyard and eagerly unrolled the scroll.

The scroll recorded a total of three ninjutsu techniques:

Great Fireball Technique, Phoenix Flower Technique, and Dragon Fire Technique.

These three were signature Fire Release techniques of the Uchiha clan, all ranked as C-rank ninjutsu.

Renya was thrilled.

With these three jutsu, his strength would undoubtedly improve significantly.

His top p...

Uchiha compound, orphanage.

After eating, Renya didn't rush back. Instead, he wandered over to the Uchiha compound.

Compared to the Senju clan, he would rather stay at the orphanage.

"Renya, you're back!" Uchiha Shun saw Renya arrive and ran up to him excitedly.

He had already learned that his best friend was adopted by Senju Tobirama.

"Just came back to check on you all..." Renya explained.

This time, he returned to the compound not just t...

008 Adopted by the Second Hokage!

It was nearly noon.

Renya checked the time, guessing that Tobirama Senju would be back soon.

He simply dragged a chair into the courtyard and sat down to wait for the other man's return.

Why wasn't Renya cooking?

Simple—there were no ingredients left at home.

Last night, Tobirama had said he would buy some today, but judging by the situation, it seemed he had forgotten.

"I don't even know what that old man is busy with all day… Always out early and back...

007 Adopted by the Second Hokage!

It was just dawn.

Renya was suddenly awakened from his dream, cold sweat soaking his back.

His chest heaved violently, and his eyes still betrayed both terror and doubt.

"That dream again…" Renya said uncertainly, murmuring, "What exactly is that place?"

In that eerie dream, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar location.

A pungent smell of chemicals filled the air. He lay on a cold experimental table, his arms and legs inexplicably bound by some apparatu...

After Tobirama Senju left...

Renya rested for a bit before eagerly heading to the training grounds.

This was his first time practicing shuriken throwing, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

In the shinobi world, shuriken are a ninja's commonly used weapon. Throwing them allows for long-range attacks, perfect for ambushes and assassinations, capable of delivering a silent and deadly blow.

To put it simply, if you can kill your enemy from a distance, ...

The next morning.

Renya lay on the bed, looking utterly exhausted. Last night, he had a strange dream.

In that dream, he found himself inside a laboratory, lying on a cold dissection table. Surrounding him were shelves filled with various biological specimens, jars, and bottles.

He tried to get up from the table, but his body wouldn't move at all. He could only silently watch.

"What was that dream?" Renya muttered. "Could it be some kind of transmigrat...

After dinner.

Renya stood up and walked straight to his room without saying a word.

Maybe it was the original body's personality, but kneeling to curry favor with Tobirama Senju just wasn't something Renya could bring himself to do.

On the contrary, he instinctively disliked the man.

After all, his parents had died at the hands of the Senju clan!

The hatred between the two clans was the very root of their wars.

Seeing this, Tobirama's face ...

003 Adopted by the Second Hokage!

Senju Clan Compound.

Senju Tobirama walked with Renya toward his own residence.

The news that he had adopted a Uchiha child had already spread throughout the Senju clan.

Along the way, the Senju clansmen all cast various glances at Renya—curious, shocked, disgusted...

Renya ignored their reactions, silently following behind Senju Tobirama, lost in thought about his future plans.

Compared to being adopted by Senju Tobirama, he would have much pr...

002 Adopted by the Second Hokage!

Uchiha Clan Grounds.

Senju Hashirama arrived at the Uchiha compound, bringing with him Senju Tobirama, who was hanging his head low.

Upon hearing the news, the Uchiha Grand Elder hurriedly led several clan members out to greet them.

Ever since Uchiha Madara defected, the clan had been left leaderless, and all matters had been temporarily handed over to the Grand Elder.

"Hashirama-sama, what brings you here today?"

The Grand Elder spoke nervously,...

160 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

The Cult of Jashin was still fairly active in the Land of Hot Water. Their doctrine could be summed up in one phrase: "Kill everyone around you."

So whenever they met someone, they'd first ask if they wanted to join the Cult. If the answer was no, the person would be sacrificed to their so-called "Jashin-sama."

They were utterly rampant—completely disregarding the authority of the Hot Water Shinobi Village.

With the village in decline and its combat strength great...

After finishing the barbecue, Asuma left to visit Kurenai's house and properly say goodbye.

The next morning, everyone gathered at the village gate to see him off.

Biwako and Shinnosuke were there too.

She tidied up her son's collar and reminded him,

"Take good care of yourself out there. Don't eat random things. Stay away from shady places, and keep clear of the three taboos for shinobi."

"Mom, you've said this a dozen times already at home. I get it!"

116 The Shimura Has Ice Release

With the peace agreement between Konoha and Iwagakure in place, things were supposed to start moving in a better direction.

According to Hiruzen's plan, all he needed to do next was deploy the forces led by Jiraiya and Minato to the battlefront against Kirigakure, wipe out the Hidden Mist shinobi entrenched within their territory with overwhelming force, and then concentrate their military strength against Kumogakure.

But then, the newly inaugurated Fourth Raikage returned to the ...

Danzo acted quickly.

Just as he had ordered Takeshi and the others to return to Konoha's camp, that very night, a noble family with mining rights in a nearby town was raided by mountain bandits.

The massive clan, with hundreds of members, was completely massacred—only a single infant, still in swaddling clothes, survived.

As for the samurai who had been personally guarding the noble—

They were reduced to ashes along with the grand mansion.

The only fortunate ...

143 Scourge of the Ninja World

Just as Jiraiya was still in the middle of his battle.

On Gekko Chizan's side, he was fully focused on condensing the scale powder.

By now, the pit was already filled with scale powder, all of it paralytic powder.

His own body, meanwhile, was covered with a thin layer of red chakra, used to isolate the scale powder.

This was a protective measure prepared for him by Chomei.

"Phew, I'm exhausted."

"This should be enough."

"Next... I'll just scatter this...

227 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

A difficult choice lies before you.

Will you give in to the thrill of vengeance—

Take the risk of losing the complete inheritance, kill the White Ape outright, and forever sever ties with Boss Black Cat, the partner who has been by your side since the very start of the simulations...

Or will you swallow your anger.

You knew full well you couldn't defeat the Slug Sag...

Three orcas swam through the sky, connected by towering walls of water. As they spun faster and faster, a massive waterspout surged upward, trapping you inside.

You immediately sensed a shift in the surrounding magnetic field. Between the three orcas, there was a faint but tangible link of seawater, lightning, and magnetism. These three forces began to intertwine—forming a fusion of natural laws. Their strength skyrocketed!

They had reached the level of Sacred Land Sages!

172 Starting from One Piece

Hancock cried for a long time.

All Kaito knew was that she eventually cried herself to sleep in his arms, completely drained.

Once asleep, she curled up in his embrace like a kitten. Seeing her tear-streaked face, Kaito couldn't bring himself to wake her, so he simply held her and drifted off to sleep with her in his arms.

...

The next morning, Hancock slowly woke up.

The first thing she saw was Kaito looking at her with a gentle smile.

That sight immediate...

171 Starting from One Piece

After Hancock revealed the awakened state of the Medusa Fruit, Kaito quickly grasped the scope of its awakened powers.

Once awakened, Hancock no longer needed to physically touch her target or hit them with her Heart Beam.

Just like the mythological Medusa, anyone who met her gaze—or came into contact with the serpents formed from her hair—would instantly be turned to stone.

The most overpowered part of this ability, though, was that as long as the target felt even the s...

170 Starting from One Piece

Hancock's hair suddenly shifted, catching Kaito's attention. And it wasn't just him—even Elder Nyon stared in shock at Hancock's head.

That long, thick black hair slowly split into nine distinct strands, resembling nine black serpents.

Kaito frowned as he stared at the serpentine strands. He didn't quite understand what was happening, but he could sense a familiar energy radiating from those nine black snakes.

Hancock didn't seem to realize what was happening with her hair...

169 Starting from One Piece

Kaito and Hancock had finally noticed the long-petrified figure of Elder Nyon.

Staring at the shocked expression frozen on the stone statue's face, Kaito asked curiously,

"Hancock, did you use your ability just now?"

Hancock looked just as puzzled. She shook her head and replied,

"No, I didn't. I haven't used my power at all."

Kaito got out of bed and walked over to Elder Nyon's statue. He raised a finger and lightly tapped her head twice—thunk, thunk....
