In the blink of an eye, a dazzling golden streak shot across the sky like a meteor, tearing through the heavens with thunderous force before slamming directly into the conical Tailed Beast Bomb.
The massive attack halted mid-air, as if frozen by an invisible force.
Then, a deep, resonant voice boomed in every ear like a temple bell:
"Sasuke, you've gotten bold. Were you trying to kill me?"
Everyone turned in shock toward the voice.
Hovering in mid-air was a tall,...

Sasuke's eyes widened in rage as the Ten Tails was momentarily restrained.
"Damn you insects!" he shouted furiously.
His pride had been trampled again and again—Sasuke was no longer the calm, collected figure he once was. Now, his moods swung unpredictably, driven by fury and frustration.
Obito remained expressionless, his tone cool and measured.
"Don't panic. We haven't lost yet. The Ten Tails is still evolving."
Just then, the Ten Tails erupted with an overwh...

However, in the next moment—before even having the chance to move—
A massive, multicolored sphere of light instantaneously teleported before "Naruto," completely enveloping him before it began to collapse inward.
The surface of the massive orb twisted and buckled with numerous deep and shallow indentations, from which beams of colored light erupted. Inside, a violent annihilation reaction was occurring, more intense than anything before.
Under such overwhelming power, "N...

At this moment, Naruto's face twisted with a sinister, malevolent expression—as if the one controlling his body was no longer himself.
Nine Truth-Seeking Orbs instantly materialized, then shot skyward and rapidly exited the battlefield. With blinding speed, they flew toward the densely populated areas of every nation.
"You care for these weaklings? In front of me, they're less than ants. And you—someone with that kind of power—still waste your thoughts on the weak?"

Tsunade was stunned as she listened to Itō Hidenaka's explanation. Was the truth of this world really so complicated?
Wait a second!
Is this sneaky bastard lying to me again?
Suspicious, Tsunade glanced at Itō Hidenaka, then turned her head to look at the demon.
"I'm telling the truth!" Itō Hidenaka emphasized. Thanks to his face-reading technique, he knew exactly what Tsunade was thinking. Given that his credibility was already on the verge of collapse, he had no c...

Shizune stood frozen, completely at a loss.
Tsunade's body tensed.
Beads of cold sweat rolled down Itō Hidenaka's face.
"Sir… could you please stop messing around? If this keeps up, that entire timeline will collapse!"
"Mm." The demon nodded in agreement, then casually tweaked a few more parameters.
Itō Hidenaka could barely watch. Ever since the demon traveled backward through time into this era, everything had spiraled out of control.

Makino and Ace both lit up with joy as they saw Kaito suddenly appear beside them.
Especially Makino—she hadn't expected that after using the Flying Thunder God kunai not long ago, Kaito would actually show up here. It was perfect timing.
Earlier that day, Makino had been tending the bar as usual, when Ace rushed in, breathless, telling her that that pirate Shanks had come looking for Luffy again and asking what they should do.
Of course, Makino...

On Onigashima—
Kaido, having returned to his normal form, lay quietly on the ground, staring up at the dull, gray sky. No one knew what he was thinking.
Kaito had already deactivated all his active abilities. He slowly walked over to where Kaido lay defeated before him and asked calmly,
"Anything else you want to say?"
Kaido struggled to lift his head, glanced at Kaito, and countered with a question of his own.

The Third Mizukage's face was pale, his expression already looking half-dead as he spoke.
Orochimaru sneered.
"Strike while the iron's hot. A venomous snake never passes up easy prey. Third Mizukage, you're already on your last legs."
It was true—the Third Mizukage was dying. Every shinobi from Kirigakure knew it. Grief showed plainly on their faces. And yet, despite his condition, their l...

A heavy mist drifted in.
Whenever Kirigakure showed up, it was always shrouded in dense fog.
Kiyosuke and Kakashi held their breath, concealed in the trees. Through Kiyosuke's thermal sensing, he could feel the heat signatures steadily drawing closer.
He whispered,
"Kakashi, five people at one o'clock, six at eleven o'clock."

Kakashi nodded and gripped his kunai tightly.

Only then can the trial begin.

He closed the scroll on swordsmanship. Gekko Chizan found it rather distasteful—after all, he felt sword skills just didn't suit him.
But the Kusanagi Sword was not something he could casually hand over!
Hanging it at his waist, donning a cloak… tch, he'd practically be the shining star of the Hokage world.
After a brief daydream, Gekko Chizan snapped back to reality—this wasn't the time for fantasies.
He needed to carefully consider the Ryūchi Cave matter, and ...

This time, it was even more outrageous.

"That's the puppet that destroyed the trap earlier..."
Suddenly, Gekko Chizan spotted a giant puppet standing firm amidst the sea of snakes, unmoved even as the long serpents slammed into it.
Because Orochimaru and Sarutobi Shinnosuke were nearby, he didn't mention the name of the Salamander.
"So that's Chiyo's grandson?"
"A puppet of decent quality."
Orochimaru and Sarutobi Shinnosuke also noticed the Salamander and couldn't help but comment.

The enemy's advancing speed completely exceeded their expectations.

Red hair. A young, immature face. The person before him was someone Gekko Chizan never expected to see.
Chiyo's grandson—Sasori of the Red Sand!
Sasori!
Why is it him?!
Gekko Chizan felt like his brain couldn't keep up anymore.
At this time, Sasori was still a few years younger than Chizan, but the gloom and hatred on his immature face were unmistakable.
He finally understood where the anger and resentment that Chomei had sensed came from.

The rare period of peace lasted all the way into the New Year.
The Five Great Shinobi Villages were unusually silent, none making any moves during this time.
It was as if everyone was making final preparations for the war that was about to erupt.
But anyone could see how tense the situation was—there was a strong scent of gunpowder lingering even in the air.
Finally, just as the New Year arrived, Sunagakure was the first to act.

When they heard the secret art of Konoha White Fang, the two Uchiha's expressions changed.

Although they had lost their bet, the wager was clearly defined as simple taijutsu—not a secret art.

By the time Gekko Chizan woke up, it was already the next day.
He had slept so comfortably that when he stretched lazily, he immediately sensed something was off.
First of all, there was an IV drip stuck in his hand. When he raised his arm—hm, it was full of blood. Oh well, small issue, no big deal.
Looking closely, the infusion tube was over a meter long, and half of it had turned red. He quickly put his arm down in a panic.
But lowering his hand only caused it to t...

The Eight Gates is a technique that removes the body's limitations on chakra, allowing the surplus energy to be released.
Within the chakra circulation system, there are eight gates that suppress and regulate the body's chakra: the Gate of Opening, the Gate of Rest, the Gate of Life, the Gate of Pain, the Gate of Limit, the Gate of View, the Gate of Wonder, and the Gate of Death.
These gates normally restrict the flow of chakra within the body. However, this technique forcibly ove...
