132 Starting from One Piece

The two locked eyes for several seconds before Kaido took the initiative. He swung his kanabo, crackling with purple energy, and charged at Kaito with a thunderous roar.

"Thunder Bagua!"

Facing the same attack that had once nearly knocked the wind out of Luffy, Kaito flicked his right wrist. A black rod, forged from Yin-Yang Release, appeared in his hand, followed immediately by the ascension of his Armament Haki. The rod gleamed with a deep, obsidian luster.

Just as the bla...

131 Starting from One Piece

Inside the Door-Door Space,

Yamato stared blankly at Kaito, whose body had transformed into a terrifying Asura form. Even through the space barrier, she could still feel the immense pressure radiating off of him.

Kalifa, on the other hand, wore a proud expression as she said to Yamato,

"This is the boss's power—Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan Model: Asura Form!"

She had deduced it from the four arms that had sprouted from Kaito's back.

It look...

023 (Vol 2) Breaking the World Apart

Orochimaru had been quietly observing this world all along.

When he was gathering intel on Uchiha Sasuke earlier, he discovered that Sasuke was a complete rookie. Orochimaru had almost lost control and snatched him up to slice him open for research.

Fortunately, he restrained himself.

Sure enough, not long after, he sensed something abnormal.

Time in this world would freeze without warning. Orochimaru could be walking down the street one moment, and the next, everythin...

022 (Vol 2) Breaking the World Apart

Shizune was overjoyed. A dimensional traveler from another world? This was a groundbreaking historical discovery!

She turned her head sharply and glared at Itō Hidenaka, warning him:

"You have to include my name as a co-author on your paper!"

"I'm the one who discovered an ancient-era dimensional traveler. This is the kind of thing that could shock all of humanity! Once your paper's published, I'll buy ten thousand copies and hand them out at the gate of my element...

187 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

Until that day.

The day an Uchiha who called himself Konohamaru shattered his happy life.

Though Naruto easily defeated him with the power of the Nine-Tails, the Third Hokage was overcome with sorrow—and soon passed away.

Despite everything, Naruto's kindness and growing strength earned him more attention than ever before, even more than when the Third Hokage was alive.

And yet, that experience left behind a deep, inexplicable aversion to anything re...

186 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

A chaotic battle.

You slaughtered the toads of Mount Myōboku who dared come knocking on your door, effectively avenging Boss Black Cat from your previous simulation.

And yet, aside from a field of worthless toad corpses, you gained absolutely nothing.

Well, except maybe the death of the Toad Sage. If he's considered a lackey of Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, then even though he perished, he still succeeded in halting your entrance into the Shinobi World.

What about Nagato? How'...

217 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

Sasuke and Obito paid no heed to the reinforcements. They continued to operate the Ten Tails with unwavering focus, unleashing an even more brutal wave of attacks.

The Ten Tails' massive tail swept across the battlefield like a thunderclap, stirring up a violent tempest in its wake.

The howling winds kicked up clouds of dust and debris, throwing the entire battlefield into chaos.

...

At that very moment, Gaara and Rasa suddenly appeared high in the sky.

Without h...

216 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

Just as Sasuke reached his weakest point, Naruto seized the opportunity. His chakra merged perfectly with the Nine Tails, his entire body surrounded by a searing golden aura—like an invincible war god.

In his hand, he held a golden Rasengan, charged and ready.

"Sasuke, turn back!" Naruto roared. The Rasengan in his palm expanded, surging forward with a world-shattering force toward Sasuke.

Minato Namikaze wasn't idle either. Using Flying Thunder God, he instantly appeared ...

088 Scourge of the Ninja World

Gekko Chizan suddenly tore off his jacket, leaving only a white short-sleeved shirt underneath.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take off the shirt too, but because he still had the Four Symbols Seal on his chest. If someone saw those, it would be a problem.

"Damn, if I knew I'd run into him, I'd have brought more bags."

"Tch, what a pain. Just how much money am I losing because of this?"

He ripped his shirt into strips and laid them flat on the ground.

"Cho...

087 Scourge of the Ninja World

Haru and Rinkaku exchanged a glance.

"What do we do? Fight or retreat?"

"Retreating without even a fight? Doesn't feel right."

The two chuckled lightly, then stopped and stood on a tree trunk.

"Number Six, can you set traps?"

Gekko Chizan nodded. As Number Six, of course he knew how to set traps.

And he was really good at it!

"That's good then. Haru, let's begin?"

"Mm!"

Immediately, the three of them began setting traps.

They worked ...

086 Scourge of the Ninja World

"There's one more thing: as members of the Anbu, we never use our real names."

"Do you want to come up with your own codename, or use one assigned by the Anbu?"

Upon hearing this, Gekko Chizan immediately replied:

"Of course I want to choose my own."

"Anbu codenames sound terrible. We already have to wear masks—if I also get stuck with some ridiculously awful codename, I'll go crazy."

After speaking, Gekko Chizan began pondering his codename.

He soon had ...

085 Scourge of the Ninja World

I have to say, Gekko Chizan's smile was just... too sly...

No wonder Obito complained about him—being the only examiner for this assessment, smiling like that? Who wouldn't feel uneasy?

Feeling everyone's gazes and hearing their laughter, Chizan instantly felt awkward and withdrew his grin.

He'd forgotten there were so many people around and had gotten carried away.

But embarrassed? Come on. Chizan had thrown shame out the window long ago. Only those with no shame ca...

084 Scourge of the Ninja World

The graduation exam of the Ninja Academy officially began.

This was the first graduation exam since the reforms. Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Advisors Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, along with many jōnin, were all present.

It could be called the grandest graduation ceremony ever.

A high platform for the examination had already been built on the school training field.

Principal Hatake Sakumo walked in with a serious expression, leading the group of teachers. He then s...

083 Scourge of the Ninja World

The next day, Hokage Tower.

Gekko Chizan dragged Hatake Sakumo along to meet the Hokage.

He completely ignored Sakumo's murderous glare and the way he kept clutching his sore lower back.

"Hokage-sama, I need to speak with you!"

He knocked while pushing the door open, barging in without hesitation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at the two who entered, a trace of confusion flickering in his eyes.

"Hm? Chizan, what brings you here?"

"Sakumo...

082 Scourge of the Ninja World

Gekko Chizan assumed a fighting stance, both fists turning into open palms, one in front, one behind. 

Seeing his posture, Chen-sensei's eyes lit up. As a taijutsu expert, he could tell how refined Chizan's stance was.

With his palms positioned one in front and one behind, he could advance or retreat at will. His feet were spaced perfectly, knees slightly bent, heels anchored, toes turned outward, and the waist powered his leg motion.

Hmm! This kid's got a knack for tai...

081 Scourge of the Ninja World

Compared to Pakura's teaching, Chen's lessons were much more entertaining.

Relying on his powerful taijutsu, he weaved through the crowd of students, using the cane in his hand to repeatedly point out their shortcomings.

Taijutsu—one of the three core skills of a ninja—was often selectively forgotten.

But now, with the addition of Chen, this skill was once again brought into the spotlight.

Especially thanks to Might Guy, who would occasionally shout, "This is youth...

080 Scourge of the Ninja World

Gekko Chizan glared viciously at Hatake Sakumo, while the latter burst into hearty laughter.

"You're really Hatake Sakumo? The famous White Fang of the Leaf?"

"How did I never realize you were such a bastard?"

"Pakura was brought back by me. Logically, she should be joining the Gekko clan!"

Damn that White Fang of the Leaf! He must've planned this from the start! Showing up now to steal her away!

As Gekko Chizan roared in fury, Hatake Sakumo casually shrugged his...

079 Scourge of the Ninja World

"Alright, you two just rest up. I still have to report to the Ninja Academy."

"This is the first graduation assessment since the academy reforms. The Third Hokage is taking it very seriously."

Gekko Chizan casually grabbed a banana from the fruit basket, peeled it, and first handed it to Fugaku. Then, under Fugaku's slightly surprised gaze, he took a bite himself.

"You bastard! You clearly wanted to eat it yourself—why did you bring it right in front of me?!"

Fugaku ...

078 Scourge of the Ninja World

"And they even ended up alarming the Jinchūriki, Han."

"But those two are really strong. Even under Iwagakure's siege, they handled it with ease and even took out a few attackers."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had looked rather displeased at first, finally showed a more relaxed expression.

He thought to himself: I judged too quickly. Everyone has their own specialties. Their stealth skills might be poor, but their raw strength is still solid.

"Kid, can you talk faster? You s...

077 Scourge of the Ninja World

There are seven chakra nature transformations: Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth, Water, Yang, and Yin.When two chakra nature transformations merge, they create a new release known as a "Kekkei Genkai."

Many ninja possess multiple chakra natures, but only a few ever awaken Kekkei Genkai.

This means that the emergence of a Kekkei Genkai is tied to one's bloodline, even DNA.

This had been one of the research topics previously explored by Gekko Chizan and Orochimaru.

Gekko Chi...

076 Scourge of the Ninja World

The battle between Tailed Beasts is extremely straightforward.

Either they're brawling up close, or pulling apart to prepare a Tailed Beast Bomb.

Why?

Because that's all you ever see them do.

When the Four-Tails Son Goku appeared, he immediately showed what it meant to be a martial arts monkey that no one could stop—

Especially when up against a Tailed Beast like Kokuō, who severely lacked flexibility.

He used both fists and feet, unleashing such a savag...

075 Scourge of the Ninja World

Gekko Chizan felt immense satisfaction as he watched the two dumbfounded pursuers.

Serves you right for chasing me around for no reason—chased me all the way to the Land of Grass, and now you're stunned, huh? Got completely played by yours truly.

Tsk tsk, gotta say, your timing was perfect. Without you two, it would've taken me way more effort to provoke Han.

Look at things now—Five-Tails in berserk mode. You two definitely deserve credit.

"What's wrong? Don't reco...

074 Scourge of the Ninja World

"Chomei! Up ahead—is that the Four-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Gekko Chizan stared at the silhouette in his view and, to confirm the identity, quickly asked his partner within.

"Most likely. I can sense an unusual chakra fluctuation from him, and he seems a bit anxious."

"Chizan, we should get out of here! Or else we'll be dragged into this."

Gekko Chizan nodded, then turned and tossed a kunai with an explosive tag at the head of the pursuing Kokuō, before instantly activati...

073 Scourge of the Ninja World

Yes, Gekko Chizan didn't use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport himself along.

After all, there wasn't just one Jinchuriki in the Land of Grass right now. The Four-Tails' Jinchuriki, Rōshi, was also here.

His big show wasn't over yet. If the Five-Tails and Four-Tails didn't clash, how was he supposed to enjoy the spectacle?

The Transparent Release had already been dispelled, and Gekko Chizan simply stood there watching as the Five-Tails, Kokuō, charged toward him...

072 Scourge of the Ninja World

Each of the nine Tailed Beasts has its own color.

One-Tail: Yellow

Two-Tails: Blue

Three-Tails: Gray

Four-Tails: Red

Five-Tails: Pure white

Six-Tails: Milky white

Seven-Tails: Green

Eight-Tails: Dark red

Nine-Tails: Orange

Now, the massive creature appearing in the line of sight of the two was a pure white beast, a fusion of dolphin and horse.

Its five tails whipped violently—it was none other than the Five-Tails, Kokuō, the...

071 Scourge of the Ninja World

Gekko Chizan was staring at Han, who was just about to activate his Boil Release.

Suddenly, a memory of a pressure cooker from his previous life popped into his mind.

When using a pressure cooker, it's crucial to ensure the steam release valve is unobstructed. If it gets clogged, the pressure inside can rise rapidly—causing the whole thing to explode.

Right now, in his eyes, Han had become a ticking pressure cooker about to blow.

The principle behind Kokuō's Boil Re...

070 Scourge of the Ninja World

"This welcome ceremony is a bit much."

"What a shame."

Namikaze Minato looked at the earth spears stabbing toward him and smiled faintly.

In the next second, all the kunai in his hands were thrown out, landing on the ground and trees around him. He himself vanished on the spot.

"Fire Release!"

As Minato left his side, Fugaku unleashed his full power.

A terrifying tornado of fire erupted from the ground, engulfing him.

No matter how fiercely the enemy ...

069 Scourge of the Ninja World

In the direction connecting the Land of Grass and the Land of Earth, a lone figure was currently speeding toward the Land of Grass.

This man had a rugged face, fiery red beard, and wore a forehead protector shaped like a mountain peak. The emblem on it unmistakably represented Iwagakure.

He was none other than Roshi, dispatched from Iwagakure to the Land of Grass to deal with Konoha's ninja.

He was also Iwagakure's first Jinchūriki—the Four-Tails Jinchūriki—widely know...

068 Scourge of the Ninja World

As he got closer to Han, Gekko Chizan finally realized that what Chōmei had said was absolutely true.

A restless chakra fluctuation emanated from Han's body, his presence filled with savagery—it was clearly not human chakra.

It was the chakra belonging to the Five-Tails, Kokuō.

And yet, the man before him was actually suppressing Kokuō's chakra through sheer force of will.

You had to admit, that was seriously impressive. Chizan himself definitely couldn't have don...

067 Scourge of the Ninja World

"Hallucination? Probably not..."

"My scale powder does have a lot of effects, but causing mental damage isn't one of them."

Gekko Chizan nodded. It's impossible to have something that's absolutely perfect.

No matter how strong the scale powder is, it still has its limits, so he didn't mind.

"Then we'll have to try a different method—force him into a Tailed Beast Transformation."

Originally, Chizan had planned to use hallucinogens, but now it looked like he'd ha...
