088 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

Of course you knew—the Flame of the Infested, whose weaknesses had already been thoroughly exposed, couldn't possibly kill Hiruzen Sarutobi and the ANBU with him. But that didn't matter. You only needed to stall them for a while.

By now, your real body had returned to Root using Earth Style. After swiftly killing and absorbing the stationed ANBU forces and recovering from most of your injuries, you retrieved the "The Sealing Scroll of Techniques" that you had previously aband...

087 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

Under your precise control of Fire Release, the fireballs split from the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique scatter like blooming flowers—one splits into two, two into four, four into eight…

In midair, they rapidly multiply, blanketing the streets and alleys of Konohagakure. Wherever they fall, flames ignite. Anything living—regardless of whether it's a ninja or not—as long as it possesses both a physical body and a mind, is forcibly converted and absorbed into chakra.

After seve...

086 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

"To think the son of the Hokage is living such a pitiful life... Allow me to end your suffering."

A thin layer of green flame ignites over your body, masking the massive amount of chakra stored within. You pull a thick black cloak over it, making even the elite reconnaissance units of the Root unable to detect your presence. This was something you discovered back when you were slaughtering the Root operatives.

Crouched low on a rooftop, you grip a handful of shuriken, lying in amb...

074 Breaking the World Apart

The scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan spun violently as oppressive chakra surged through the air, coiling and twisting before forming into a massive crimson skeletal figure.

This was Itachi's Susanoo. In its right hand, the skeletal giant held a longsword made of ethereal orange flame.

—The Totsuka Blade.

A spiritual weapon that could seal anything it pierced into a drunken dream-like genjutsu realm for eternity.

The moment the blade manifested, it burst forth with a dream...

073 Breaking the World Apart

"Father. Mother. There might be something wrong with your memories."

Itachi spoke as gently as he could, but Fugaku and Mikoto wouldn't listen. In their eyes, Itachi was nothing more than a hopeless romantic, completely bewitched by Shimura Danzō's niece. They believed he had once done all sorts of ridiculous, scandalous things for her.

In their version of the past, Itachi had claimed time and again that he'd cut ties with that woman—only to reconcile with her over and over aga...

136 Executing the Moon Eye Plan

At the critical moment ahead, Tsunade would surely come through. But after that, she was likely to sink even deeper into despair.

After all, this was her own grandmother.

Already devastated by the loss of her first love, this new blow would be a heavy one for Tsunade to bear.

Thankfully, her younger brother Nawaki was still alive and well. That, at least, was a small comfort.

...

"The Sharingan can suppress Tailed Beasts, Sarutobi-sensei."

Orochimaru spoke ...

135 Executing the Moon Eye Plan

Hiruko glanced around the room, let out a soft sigh, and finally spoke.

"My technique... it can turn me into the perfect shinobi. If Lord Hokage desires it, I can even…"

"Enough, Hiruko! The Will of Fire within you has long been overtaken by your own ambition. Reflect on your actions in the Konoha prison!"

During the subsequent interrogation, Hiruko never showed a shred of remorse. Instead, he kept boasting about his experiments.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, watching Hiruko's s...

156 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

Obito chuckled lightly.

"Jiraiya, and you call yourself a Sage? So what if ninjutsu's useless—you still have senjutsu and taijutsu, don't you?"

"But Hyuga Gakuya knows all of those. The real problem is whether you can even land a hit on him."

"You should know by now—Hyuga Gakuya's power is completely beyond anything this world can handle."

Jiraiya frowned deeply. "And if you know how strong he is, then tell me—how are we supposed to defeat him?"

Obito smile...

155 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

Using his Tenseigan to peer back through time, Hyuga Gakuya watched the events unfold. Jiraiya had just retrieved one of Orochimaru's corpses, using it to assist in a rapid reincarnation process. Now, Orochimaru had transformed into a white serpent and vanished beneath the earth.

Jiraiya sensed Orochimaru's chakra growing fainter as it disappeared underground. Though there was a trace of helplessness in his heart, he also understood—this might have been the best outcome they could hop...

439 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

The hidden chamber was deathly silent.

Tangno Karashi's heartbeat was quickening by the second.

She had undergone shinobi training in the past, but standing alone before Uchiha Mirai, she still felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.

It was as if, in the very next second, he could tear her apart with lightning-fast precision.

Barely a few moments had passed before she could no longer hold out.

Her legs gave way, and she sank to her knees on the cold floor.

438 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Koyuki Kazahana glared furiously at Asama Santayū, her face filled with disbelief.

As Uchiha Mirai's woman, she naturally knew about the Kara organization.

It was founded by none other than Isshiki Ōtsutsuki himself—its sole purpose, to bring destruction to the entire shinobi world.

Santayū had followed her loyally for decades. Now, he was the man in charge of the Land of Snow.

Even though Konoha's Uchiha clan still monitored him, there was no denying that he stoo...

250 I Became a Jonin

"Dimensional Demon God, a pleasure to meet you. I am Keisha, Queen of Angels."

Keisha's hands rested lightly on the armrests of her throne.

Her eyes, touched with subtle shadow, gazed sternly down at the figure of Yamanaka Shinno.

With porcelain-white skin, golden flowing hair, and an expression of haughty indifference toward the world—exuding an aura of divine authority that brooked neither insult nor irreverence—every movement of Keisha radiated the majesty of a queen ...

249 I Became a Jonin

Yamanaka Shinno closed his eyes.

Using the ability of [Wanderer of All Worlds], he shifted his "vision" to another dimensional layer. With his powerful perception and the vantage point of this dimensional vision, he quickly scanned the Earth below him.

There really were a lot of unique lifeforms on this planet...

...

"Can't we talk here? I think this place is just fine."

Angel Yan's gaze locked firmly onto Yamanaka Shinno.

She didn't know what it was about ...

227 Naruto: Yagura Karatachi

The next day at noon.

Kisame's wedding was held in grand fashion.

As one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, with Yagura personally attending to offer his congratulations, practically everyone of note in Kirigakure showed up. Whether they had business or not, many came simply to make an impression on the leadership.

Still, Yagura remained backstage the entire time, acting more like the general director, overseeing the whole event.

He wasn't fond of social ga...

226 Naruto: Yagura Karatachi

Sasori was about to face the consequences.

Mei Terumi silently apologized to him, her thoughts elsewhere as she responded, "Yes."

Yagura pinched the bridge of his nose.

At twenty, his youthful hormones were in overdrive, and it was becoming a bit much.

He knew his appearance was a plus; being the pride of Kirigakure for so long, his allure was undeniable.

However, with his subordinates and friends—perhaps due to their familiarity—Yagura had never entertained ...

085 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

Nourished by the pure Uchiha bloodline within Sasuke's body, your injuries rapidly healed. The absorption effect... was even better than what you got from those five Jonin-level bodies.

Your bloodline was baptized. The elemental powers within your body awakened—Fire Style, Wind Style, Earth Style, Water Style—all those chakra natures that once felt distant and required long-term training were now effortlessly at your fingertips!

Is this the power that comes from approaching th...

084 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

After devouring a massive number of Bugs, the Flame of the Infested inside you grew even more frenzied. While absorbing blood to recover your energy, you also created several more Shadow Clones.

Root had lost its high-level combatants and was now a headless snake. Your clones emerged from various corners of Root using Earth Style to breach the barriers, each transforming into different appearances and using Wind Style, Earth Style, Fire Style, and other elemental ninjutsu ...

083 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

You begin searching for the perfect opportunity to eliminate Danzo once and for all. Unfortunately, the old man—hardened by years of espionage—is far too cautious. Even when hypnotizing you, he keeps three to four elite Root shinobi with jōnin-level strength between you and him at all times.

What's worse, Danzo always takes you along as his personal bodyguard on any outings. You no longer receive field assignments; at most, you get sent on menial C-rank or even D-rank missions near...

082 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

Looking at your severed arm, the fully awakened three-tomoe Sharingan in your eyes, and the pile of jōnin heads you brought back, Danzō couldn't help but reveal a deeply conflicted expression.

Although Root's intel had long confirmed you were alive—and very likely the "Desert Reaper" feared across the Lands of Wind and Earth—your explosive growth in power and clearly unstable mental state had left him unsure of how to bring you back under Root's control.

And now, here you we...

081 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

[Seventh Month]

You wandered along the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, restoring your injuries through the slaughter of villages. It was the only way to calm the fury of losing your arm.

Though you still hadn't broken through the bottleneck between the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and the Mangekyō, your mastery over the unnamed ocular jutsu that manipulates blood had grown steadily.

[Eighth Month]

Aside from your sever...

080 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

You don't know how long it's been before you finally wake up.

Beside you lies the shriveled corpse of an Iwa-nin, and above, a dim green flame still burns slowly. You know you've won.

But your right arm is severely deformed, completely numb, cold, and stiff—blackened and purple. You can't feel a thing.

You're very aware that with an arm in this condition, there's no way you'll survive the endless desert.

The dry desert climate at least reduces the risk of infection, ...

079 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

A mass of molten iron, shaped by your continuous movements, quickly spreads and solidifies into a massive shield. You stomp it beneath your feet, blocking every last poisoned needle. Then, using the searing flame still burning in your hand, you form a single-handed seal.

Wind Style: Shuriken!

The leftover molten iron gathers in your hand, transforming into a gigantic shuriken. Empowered by both Wind and Fire Style chakra, it begins to spin at incredible speed.

The e...

078 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

Your team arrives at the mountain pass, preparing to set up an ambush.

Just as you're watching the slowly advancing enemy formation, something feels off. You shout, "Hide!" as you activate your Sharingan, spin around, draw your bow, and release an arrow behind you.

Thud!

The arrow pierces into a rock wall. A scream rings out as a ninja wearing an Iwagakure forehead protector is forced out of camouflage, flames engulfing him instantly.

Clearly, you hav...

077 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

You don't know if the other Root operatives get vacations, but as one of only two Uchiha in Konoha—and the only one in Root—you've got plenty of time off.

During that period, you mastered all the Wind Release jutsu you'd obtained. Under Danzo's personal guidance, you even learned an additional technique—Wind Release: Shuriken—a nifty little trick that lets you enchant shuriken with Wind chakra.

You also began training in Wind Release nature transformation. Unfortunately, y...

076 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

Early the next morning, the ronin were rudely awakened and, full of resentment, made their way toward the caravan encampment.

Without your command, the once-victorious fighters had slipped back into their undisciplined habits. They staggered as they walked, completely lacking any semblance of formation. One group of three was even ambushed by a patrolling Genin, who managed to kill all three with a surprise attack using shuriken.

The careless trio didn't even have time to draw the...

075 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

Under your manipulation and guidance, a few of the more outspoken ones came up with the idea of robbing and looting to get money.

After all, they had long lost their status as samurai. Without that title, they couldn't serve noble families anymore. At best, they could get patrol work in some remote village, or, if lucky, be picked up by a merchant as a cheap bodyguard.

For men who had grown used to a life of indulgence and luxury, this was simply unacceptable.

On top of that...

074 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

After arriving outside the village, you changed your clothes to look like a wandering warrior, then circled around to the main gate of Konoha, pretending to be a traveler trying to enter. As expected, the gate guards drove you off.

At the same time, you tracked down the merchant caravan being escorted by a Chūnin squad, as detailed in the mission.

The caravan consisted of five wagons. At the very front was a dual-purpose wagon carrying both people and goods—mostly food and wate...

073 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

You brought your hands together, aimed toward the space enclosed by the Earth-Style Wall below, and forcefully spat out a fireball.

Seeing this, Kakashi relied on the speed of Chidori to dodge the incoming fireball. However, the fireball was deceptively designed—suddenly exploding into thick smoke, completely obscuring both your visions.

Since Kakashi's Sharingan far surpassed yours, you decided to copy his tactics and cloak both of your senses in one go, evening the playing fie...

072 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

Though you brushed it off with a casual remark, you still paid out of your own pocket to treat Naruto to a meal.

Watching him devour the extra portions without hesitation, you smoothly shifted the conversation toward the "Nine-Tails," saying that even though you'd only just arrived in Konoha, you'd already heard people calling him a demon fox. But honestly, aside from the color, you really didn't see any resemblance at all…

Your words seemed to win Naruto over slightly, but perh...

071 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

It was clear: as a time-honored, enduring establishment, this shop naturally had its own unique craft.

Aside from a few laborer-level genin hired to handle manual work, only the shopkeeper showed traces of chakra on him—but even that didn't reach the level of a chunin.

With chakra that weak, there was no way he could've mastered fire-style nature transformation like you had!

Still, by observing their techniques, you might glean some insight into controlling the Flame o...
