After Yagura returned to Kirigakure with the "three-plus-one" team, their mission was a complete success.
On the same day, Kakashi arrived back in Konoha and reported the massive mess he'd gotten himself into directly to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
But to the Third Hokage, this news didn't come as a sudden shock—not today, anyway.
Before returning to the village, Kakashi had already sent a report through his own channels, landing it squarely on Hiruzen's desk. He'd given the old Hok...

"Goodbye."
Menma turned his head and gave a wide, toothy grin—the last thing Kakashi heard before he vanished.
The moment Menma touched Naruto, they both disappeared from that space. Kakashi felt like he had fallen into an icy pit.
He found himself back at his original starting point—where the kunai had landed.
Menma casually dropped his half-brother, someone from the same clan who also carried half of the Nine-Tails inside him, to the ground. Grinning from ear to ...

A dim, murky hue shrouded the entirety of the City of Peace. The streets were spotless—no trace of battle remained. Every scar of conflict had been meticulously erased, restoring the scene as if it had always been this tranquil and untouched.
Two tall trees stood at the entrance gate. From their branches hung numerous corpses, shriveled and rotten, exuding a putrid stench. And yet, in those hollow sockets, the eyeballs spun slowly, cold and lifeless, staring in every direction.

Akimichi Chōji gripped Ino with his left hand and Shikamaru with his right. His father, Akimichi Chōza, had sacrificed his life to carve out a narrow path through the mist-shrouded chaos so they could escape. The ground behind them was littered with frantic footprints, scattered limbs, and dismembered corpses.
After what felt like an eternity, they finally made it out of the city. As they ran with a fleeing crowd, Shikamaru spoke up, carefully choosing his words

You deactivate your Sharingan, disappearing into the shadows.
After a brief moment of thought to decide how best to make your entrance, you reach into your coin pouch, pinch a handful of gold nuggets, and—sheltered behind the small hill's shadow to block the firelight—melt them into a crude mask, which you then place over your face.
Next, you activate Transparent Escape, and use the Ultra-Added-Weight Rock to levitate yourself silently into the air.
Then—suddenly—you...

After entering a border town in the Land of Hot Water, you immediately reunited with Boss Black Cat. The two of you, along with the cat, found a small inn to stay at temporarily.
Originally, you had sent Boss Black Cat out as a contingency plan—just in case your plans in Konoha failed. You would have been able to use the Reverse Summoning Technique to escape. However, it seems you underestimated your own strength.
Even among Kage-level ninja, there's a gap in power!

"I swear, I'll make him pay for what he's done!" Naruto growled through gritted teeth, his eyes practically blazing with fury.
Beside him, Konan's gaze was filled with the same burning rage, but her expression remained calm, laced with unwavering determination.

Naruto didn't have time to grieve. Without hesitation, he dashed toward the battlefield where the Six Paths of Pain were engaged. The five shinobi still standing were barely holding on.
The relentless onslaught from the Six Paths had already overwhelmed Jiraiya and the others.

His eyes narrowed in focus. In an instant, he ...

Faced with the sudden turn of events, Hyuga Gakuya swiftly raised a hand, catching the incoming attack with one hand.
Temari was just about to move when Gakuya struck her square in the chest with a palm thrust. A surge of electricity coursed through her body, knocking her out cold.
"So... you've all decided to betray me now?"
Gakuya shook his hand forcefully, his expression like frost—cold, twisted, and menacing.

Turning to Pain beside him, Hyuga Gakuya said,

Nothing escapes your eyes anymore.
You're even willing to spend some time carefully analyzing the mysteries hidden within this bloodline—something you once never bothered to do.
And now, when you think back to how you used to absorb bloodlines… all you can feel is how crude and barbaric it was.
You look down at Uchiha Itachi, who is panting like a dying person, stripped of everything he once relied on. You can't help but let out a silent, mocking chuckle.

What a shame. While tailing those two brothers, you got distracted and wandered into a mask shop—only to find they didn't carry the same vortex mask as Obito's.
In the end, you had no choice but to buy a clown mask as a substitute.

The entire City of Peace had already been swallowed whole.
A suffocating mist blanketed every inch of land, blotting out the sun and filling the air with a dead silence so oppressive it felt blasphemous. There wasn't even the sound of breathing—just a piercing chill that crept into the bones.
It was like the whole world had fallen into a hopeless darkness.

Yamanaka Inoichi was in the middle of speaking when his voice suddenly cut off. It was as if his brain had exploded. The instant he cast the Mind Body Switch Technique and his consciousness entered Sasuke's, he was overwhelmed by a barrage of terrifying imagery. Though none of it seemed to be intentionally harming him, the sheer volume of chaotic information surged into his mind like a tidal wave.
He couldn't handle it.
It was like his CPU fried on the spot.

Their mission had failed. Neji and Naruto's expressions were grim.
Kakashi, on the other hand, seemed to have anticipated this outcome. The moment he saw only one Mist ninja come to stall them, he suspected it was a diversion.
The signal flare fired by Sakura in the distance wasn't fake.
Just one look was enough. Based on Sakura's abilities, there was no way she could stop that Mist kunoichi. In fact, the girl hadn't even considered her a threat....

The flames raced along the wires, surging toward Neji and Naruto.
Clang!
In the nick of time, chakra burst from every tenketsu in Neji's body.
"Gentle Fist Technique: Body Blow!"
He hadn't quite mastered this Gentle Fist technique yet, but thankfully, he managed to pull it off. Right before the fire reached them, his chakra ripped through the steel wires, tearing them apart.
He grabbed Naruto by the shoulder and leapt to safety.

Uchiha Mirai hadn't revealed his true strength yet, so the Ōtsutsuki clan members before him had no idea how powerful he really was.
In their eyes, he was no different from the countless other natives they'd encountered on various planets—just another insect they could crush with ease.
With that mindset, the group of twelve Ōtsutsuki flew up to him, wearing smug, condescending expressions.

Of course, that was only true if they could prove their value.

Uchiha Kaien believed that a person should be free of unnecessary impurities.
In his view, Namikaze Minato's potential was already exceptional. There was no need to rely on special chakra to enhance his talent.
Even though Kaien wasn't sure if Minato would be chosen by Asura's chakra, he wasn't the kind to gamble on uncertain chances.
The Transcription Seal could accomplish many things—serving as a protective barrier for Minato was just one of them.

Uchiha Kaien wasn't surprised in the slightest to see Indra's chakra begin to stir.
After all, Uchiha Madara was Indra's reincarnation. As long as Madara was still alive, Indra's chakra couldn't separate from its host and move on its own.
And without Indra reincarnating, his younger brother Asura's chakra couldn't reincarnate either.
This was precisely why, despite the death of Senju Hashirama long ago, no new Asura reincarnation had appeared in the shinobi world.

He raised his hand, ready to scold Uchiha Kaien—but upon seeing that blatant, unabashed grin on Kaien's face, he silently lowered it again.

A soft blush spread across her cheeks, painting even her ears and neck with a tender, rosy hue.
