225 Naruto: Yagura Karatachi

After lunch and a brief one- to two-hour rest...

Yagura, the wedding's general coordinator, gathered all the key participants of tomorrow's ceremony for two more rounds of rehearsal. This time, the groom Kisame and bride Toun joined in.

"Mangetsu, you're the best man. Mei, maid of honor."

"Zabuza, you're officiating. Haku will bring the rings. Suigetsu and Kimimaro, you two will carry the bride's train."

"Logistics and decor, Ringo and Sasori. Ao, you're handling the a...

224 Naruto: Yagura Karatachi

Watching Yagura's completely indifferent reaction, Mangetsu clicked his tongue.

Tease after tease, and not even a twitch.

Roles reversed and still no response? Back when you were the one dishing it out, I sure didn't take it this calmly.

Killjoy.

Mangetsu pouted and placed a carton of milk on Yagura's desk.

"Drink this later, then take a nap."

Yagura immediately scooted half a body's length back.

"When did you become my babysitter?"

Milk before ...

248 I Became a Jonin

[The golden trait "Secondary Bio-Engine" has been locked in. Navigation initiated. Estimated total distance: 87,000 light-years. Route requires passage through two dimensional space layers and two world portals. Estimated energy cost: nine planetary units.

Yamanaka Shinno stared at the multicolored navigation path rising into the stratosph...

247 I Became a Jonin

After fully absorbing the power granted by the [Asgardian Bloodline] trait, Black Widow—Natasha—put on a show for the ladies of S.H.I.E.L.D., lifting a helicopter with her bare hands right on the spot.

Still sleek and sexy, yet now overwhelmingly powerful, Natasha drew gasps of awe from the group of agents, who cheered and rushed over with heartfelt congratulations and amazement.

Dr. Helen Cho and Dr. Wu Jiaqi practically swarmed her, inspecting her body with scientific fervor...

437 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

A week later.

The contents of the scroll had finally been deciphered.

The information it contained left the decoding unit pale with shock.

As it turned out, hidden in the shadows of the ninja world was a secret organization called Kara.

And the reach of Kara's influence had already spread quietly throughout the Divine Nation!

The moment Hyuga Neji learned the contents of the scroll, he immediately reported it to Uchiha Mirai.

Accor...

436 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Land of Whirlpools.

Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame moved silently through the ruins, following the footprints on the ground.

Kisame slung Samehada over his shoulder and asked,

"Itachi-san, do we really need to be this cautious against someone like this? Just let me go in and slice him up."

Without any change in expression, Itachi replied, "If Lord Mirai specifically wants us to investigate this organization, it means we can't afford to underestimat...

154 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

(The protagonist deliberately exposed his identity as part of a larger plan to fake a redemption arc—this will be explained in this chapter.)

It looked like Jiraiya and Orochimaru were ready for an all-out battle, but in truth, both were already plotting their escape.

In their current situation, killing Hyuga Gakuya was impossible. But if they could pass on what they'd learned, maybe—just maybe—someone could stop him down the line.

Jiraiya certainly wasn't going to go ...

153 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

Just then, a calm voice drifted in from outside the door.

"Jiraiya-senpai, barging in uninvited isn't exactly the most courteous habit."

A loud bang followed as a Federation shinobi slammed open the doors to the sealing chamber.

Moments later, a dozen more rushed in like a tide, surrounding both Jiraiya and Orochimaru in a tight formation.

They didn't attack—at least not immediately. Instead, they simply encircled the two, forming an unbroken wall.

"Be...

134 Executing the Moon Eye Plan

"Kaien, remove the genjutsu on Hiruko."

"Alright."

Uchiha Kaien quietly stepped back to watch the show unfold.

Today's spotlight wasn't on him—it was on the man named Hiruko.

Thanks to Kaien's interference, Hiruko hadn't escaped the pursuit of the Sannin this time.

From Kaien's memories, if he hadn't gotten involved, Hiruko would've shaken off the Sannin and continued wandering the shinobi world, collecting various kekkei genkai and fusing them into his own pow...

133 Executing the Moon Eye Plan

Uchiha Kaien silently observed the entire exchange between the two.

At the same time, he got a good look at Hiruko. Not in his "loli" form yet, but the white hair and red eyes were already distinctive enough.

"No one can say what the future holds," Orochimaru said calmly. "But right now, Hiruko, you should worry about yourself. You're under arrest."

Orochimaru's expression didn't change. He had far too many experiments waiting. Even if things reached this point, he could alw...

072 Breaking the World Apart

Relying on his powerful genjutsu, Itachi passed through the front gate of the City of Peace and steadily made his way toward Sasuke's residence.

But the closer they got, the more bizarre and surreal the scenery became.

It was the dead of night. Two white lanterns hung at the entrance to Sasuke's home, glowing faintly with an eerie green light. In the courtyard, two tall trees had been transplanted—one cherry tree, and... another cherry tree.

Rumor had it that Sasuke, with ...

071 Breaking the World Apart

Land of Rain.

Konan looked worried. "You're really going through with Madara's plan? Starting the operation early?"

Nagato sat hunched in his wheelchair, his expression weary and gaunt.

"Madara made a good point. War has erupted across the shinobi world, and the Jinchūriki might get dragged into battle. They won't be under tight control like before. This is the perfect time to act. And if a Jinchūriki dies in the field, who knows how long it'll take for th...

070 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

You locked yourself in your room and spent the entire night thinking, but still couldn't figure out how to truly fuse the Flame of the Infested with your Fire Style.

If you tried to handle it like you did with those Wood Release constructs—forcing it under control using other Fire Style techniques—that would take far too much preparation time. And since it's indirect control, your grasp over the Flame of the Infested is actually worse than regular fire techniques. ...

069 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

The streets were deserted, the rooftops pristine and spotless. Clearly, after the massacre, the Uchiha compound had been thoroughly cleaned by Root. Now, it had a fresh, almost new look.

If not for the bloodshed that once stained this place, it could easily be sold as a high-end residential district for a premium price.

Following Iruka's lead, you soon arrived at a standalone villa in the center of the compound—slightly taller than the neighboring houses. This was once the clan ...

068 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

[Day 29]

It seems you've lost interest in everything except the Flame of the Infested, and after using it to devour the chakra of ten opponents, you went off on your own to further master this power.

Today also marks the final day of your training.

Fortunately, today's reward finally piqued your interest. Although it was another Fire Style jutsu, its style was clearly not of Uchiha origin. Perhaps all the Uchiha-style Fire Style jutsu have already been given...

067 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

[Day 28]

After finishing your usual assassination task, the two Root ninja overseeing your assessment unexpectedly approached you with a strangely flattering tone, asking if you wanted to try out some "new merchandise."

You nodded.

In response, they dragged something out of a massive cage.

What emerged… was a grotesquely massive monster, constantly writhing, its form indescribable.

It stood nearly as tall as a three-story building. Its body was...

066 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

After acquiring the Mind Body Switch Jutsu, you finally found a direction for further refining Soul Slash.

[Day 21]

Due to your high-intensity usage, the bowstring snapped. You had no choice but to pick up your ninja blade once more and hack through your enemies one by one.

Since you had already demonstrated exquisite control over Fire Style techniques, you no longer bothered to conceal your ability to superheat your weapons until they glowed red or even whi...

065 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

After brutal training, only about thirty people from your batch have survived. Clearly, more rookies who've only received basic instruction will be added tomorrow.

These thirty survivors will likely take the top thirty slots in the next round—though it's also possible that some are holding back on purpose to avoid attention...

Having experienced this method firsthand, so reminiscent of raising poisonous insects to weed out the weak, you can't help but marvel at how efficient Roo...

064 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

A Kumogakure shinobi charged at you like a beast—or more accurately, like a mudslide—using both hands and feet in a wild assault that came faster than lightning.

You immediately activated your Sharingan, but every attempt to unleash a basic ocular technique was torn apart by the violent chakra turbulence within your opponent's body.

You were a bit shocked. You hadn't expected this—at its peak, the Lightning Release Chakra Mode was actually damaging his internal organs and bu...

063 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

Your victory drew a quiet gasp from some of the contestants below who had been busy picking out the weakest opponents they could find.

After all, even the top three contenders—known for their overwhelming strength—had either forced their puppets to shut down, cleverly tossed them out of bounds, or resorted to using explosive tags to destroy them.

You were the first to completely obliterate a puppet with nothing but your own power, no tricks, no tools.

At this stage of tr...

062 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

Afterward, the Root ninja ignored the third candidate's plea for rest. Instead, they dragged out another caged beast—a ferocious tiger—and threw it into the ring alongside a savage-looking bandit wielding twin blades.

They sprinkled a special powdered drug onto the bandit, causing the tiger to lose all interest in attacking him and redirect its bloodlust toward the unfortunate third-place candidate.

As soon as the chains on the tiger were undone, the battle exploded into motio...

061 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

A C-rank Fire Style: Flame Bullet technique—average by most standards, but in this heap of junk, it's undoubtedly a top-tier reward.

What's more, this jutsu closely resembles the Great Fireball Technique. Given your developed bloodline power and your innate skill with Fire Style, you manage to master it with just a single glance.

More importantly, this gives you a legitimate reason to use Fire Style in battle without raising suspicion!

Just then, some clueless fool steps o...

060 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

After understanding the rules, you quickly move to catch up with the team ahead. Thanks to your exceptional strength, you pass through the crowded and chaotic group effortlessly.

Looking up—

The closer you get to the opening at the top of the shaft, the narrower the passage becomes. What starts as a corridor wide enough for two people to walk side by side gradually shrinks until only a single person can squeeze through sideways. Beyond that, even the handrails on either side of ...

059 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

Because you simultaneously activated your bloodline power and resisted the ocular power of Kotoamatsukami, you exceeded both your physical and spiritual limits. The symptoms you displayed were extremely similar to those Sasuke Uchiha showed after being forced to awaken his Sharingan by Itachi.

You were granted an extended medical leave.

Once your mind had slightly recovered, you resumed using Soul Slash, gradually eroding the remnants of Kotoamatsukami's power. At the same time, y...

058 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

At this moment, Danzo had yet to transplant Hashirama's cells.

Originally, you had planned to strike after he cast Kotoamatsukami, when his physical and mental state would be at its weakest. You'd seize the Sharingan in one swift move. But just as you were about to make your move, a sudden flicker of hesitation crossed your mind.

And in that single moment of hesitation, Danzo shut the hidden chamber's door.

Kotoamatsukami truly lived up to its name. As a Ma...

[Detected that the user has successfully survived a dead-end scenario]

[To conserve simulator energy, this simulation will now proceed in one-day increments]

[Day Two]

At Danzo's command, a Root shinobi removed his mask and entered the secret chamber, attempting to communicate with you.

Following your prearranged strategy, you pretended to have lost parts of your memory due to nearly drowning. Your speech was hesitant ...

056 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

[3:00 PM]

After realizing you were being watched, you didn't resist much inside the sealed chamber. Instead, like a curious child, you fumbled around the room for a while.

Then, you sat dazed for a moment, lifted your water bottle absentmindedly for a sip, rubbed your belly, picked up an onigiri and took a few bites—only to toss it aside because it had gone cold.

After burning off that burst of energy and with your stamina at rock bottom, you lay down and ...

055 I Am Crazy with the Simulation

Running blindly was out of the question. There was no way to escape Konoha's many elite jōnin and Anbu.

Uchiha Kirin estimated that with his current power, taking down a team of three chūnin would be no problem. But if he ran into a tokubetsu jōnin, it would take him significantly more time. Two of them working together? There was a real chance of failure. And if it were a full jōnin? He'd be completely stalled. As for those stronger than that—there was no hope.

So the only ...
