037 Breaking the World Apart

Orochimaru had arrived. But he seemed completely uninterested in Sasuke, ignoring him entirely. His vertical pupils locked solely onto Naruto.

A wave of killing intent filled the air, and Naruto trembled slightly.

"My, my... So weak," Orochimaru chuckled. "Well then, let my little darling play with you first."

As he spoke, he weaved hand signs and unleashed a Summoning Jutsu.

With a puff of white smoke, a giant snake appeared, its tongue flickering as it lunged straigh...

036 Breaking the World Apart

Yakushi Kabuto—truly a legendary figure in the story. In the shinobi world, where bloodline supremacy reigned, he managed to make a name for himself solely by riding on the remnants of Orochimaru's legacy.

At this moment, Yakushi Kabuto was casually chatting with the recent graduates of Konoha. He wore a pleasant, friendly smile that made people instinctively lower their guard, skillfully using information about other shinobi villages to quickly bridge the gap between himself and the ...

035 Breaking the World Apart

As the strongest "tool" in the ninja world, Orochimaru was, unsurprisingly, very busy.

The Konoha Crush Plan was a major plot point in the original story — a moment countless fanfiction transmigrators wouldn't dare miss the opportunity to take advantage of.

This particular plan was devised by Orochimaru himself, working in conjunction with Sunagakure to launch a blitz attack against Konoha. Yet strangely, before the operation even began, Orochimaru secretly assassinated the Four...

034 Breaking the World Apart

A sparrow landed on Neji's hand, pecking lightly at his fingertip with a few chirps.

Neji gazed down at the sparrow, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The mysterious being who had claimed to be an ancestor of the Hyūga clan—where had he really come from? His appearance was unexplained, and Neji certainly didn't believe he was truly a Hyūga ancestor. Most likely, it was a fabricated identity.

Uchiha Sasuke had a similarly mysterious figure lingering around him. Could there b...

033 Breaking the World Apart

Naruto's shouting echoed in Sasuke's ears. Malice churned inside Sasuke's heart, though on the surface, he still wore a face of pity and sorrow.

"Naruto, if you become a shinobi, there's a real chance you'll die out there!"

"In all the years you spent at the Academy, you couldn't even memorize the most basic shinobi rules. Year after year, you were dead last. You couldn't even pass the graduation exam. I don't know what strings you pulled to get your forehead protector, or how you...

032 Breaking the World Apart

"Senshu Tobirama isn't dead. He's still clinging to life in the shadows, plotting. He's out for revenge against Konoha, and Obito... Obito is the pawn he chose—a human weapon, a perfect fusion of the Sharingan and Wood Release!"

"Don't doubt it. If Tobirama could create a forbidden jutsu like Edo Tensei, then even death wouldn't stop him from crawling back from the Pure Land."

"The Nine-Tails' attack back then? It was all orchestrated by Tobirama, manipulating Obito behind the s...

031 Breaking the World Apart

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō, and the others were supposed to be the guards of the Second Hokage, yet they let Tobirama sacrifice himself to cover their escape. No matter the era, Sarutobi Hiruzen should have been held accountable for that.

Yet somehow, Sarutobi Hiruzen still became the Third Hokage.

Sasuke casually spun a tale to Kakashi—that Tobirama's death wasn't just the result of the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers from Kumogakure. There might have been internal involveme...

030 Breaking the World Apart

Team 7 had officially been formed, but the atmosphere was downright awful.

Sakura, after listening to some advice from her parents and Ino last night, was as quiet as a mouse, blending into the background without a word.

Sasuke was just as silent, though his face was far more expressive, as if he were cursing everyone out with his eyes.

Naruto scratched his head, desperate to lighten the mood but completely clueless as to how.

Kakashi led the three of them to the train...

029 Breaking the World Apart

Sasuke walked along the road home.

"You can't even be bothered to fake it anymore, huh?"

"There's no point. I don't want to waste my time playing stupid ninja games," Sasuke said, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

"Team 7's situation is complicated. If Kakashi actually had the guts to send us back to the Academy to repeat a year, maybe I'd even look at him a little differently."

The shadow beside him keenly picked up on Sasuke's negative emotions.

"You seem to have...

028 Breaking the World Apart

Sakura's harsh attitude toward Naruto didn't surprise Sasuke at all.

Even though Sakura usually kept up appearances, the truth was, Naruto had done something pretty awful in the manga's storyline—he had used the Transformation Jutsu to turn into Sasuke and trick Sakura into giving him a kiss. No matter the era, that was seriously creepy and disgusting, something you'd blacklist a person for life over.

Maybe Naruto thought it was just a prank, but "pranks" are only funny...

027 Breaking the World Apart

"Milord, the shinobi world has already undergone major changes. Will Orochimaru still carry out the Konoha Crush plan?"

"He will. Even if he doesn't come willingly, I'll make sure he does."

The mutated oceans triggered drastic climate shifts, leading to severe resource shortages. Human society had become like a powder keg—just waiting for a spark...

And Orochimaru was the perfect candidate to light that fuse. Of course, if he refused to get involved, there was always Ōnok...

026 Breaking the World Apart

Sasuke frowned as he looked at Neji, and couldn't help but speak up.

"Don't worry about it, Neji. If it really comes down to it... just 'cherish your life and stay away from Naruto.'"

Neji shook his head helplessly.

"Promise me, Sasuke... if the day ever comes when I'm 'redeemed' by Naruto, and I forget my father's death... don't hesitate. The Neji who would be brainwashed like that—he wouldn't deserve to live."

Sasuke echoed the sentiment.

"If the future me fo...

025 Breaking the World Apart

Little Sasuke had gradually grown into a handsome young man.

One night, not long before Neji's graduation from the Ninja Academy, he and Sasuke made their way into a hidden chamber beneath the Uchiha compound.

—The hidden chamber had been painstakingly dug out by the two of them using Earth Release techniques.

"Dammit, Sasuke! Be more gentle! It really hurts when you're that rough!" Neji complained.

"Ah, I'll be more careful next time," Sasuke replied casually.

120 Executing the Moon Eye Plan

"So then, would slashing its throat work?"

Namikaze Minato frowned. This was a tricky one. If ninjutsu didn't work, what about taijutsu?

"No use either," Uchiha Kagami shook his head. "Unless you sever the entire head, those strange creatures won't die. But their taijutsu is weak—only around average chunin level."

"As for their leader, I haven't seen them yet. But we shouldn't rule out the possibility that they're quite powerful."

That eerie immortality was the bigge...

119 Executing the Moon Eye Plan

"Because we came here to help Kagami-san!"

There was no such thing as a 'fateful encounter.' It was just a group of people, each with the same goal, drawn together by their own intentions.

Uchiha Kaien didn't believe in destiny. Every favorable outcome was the result of someone's deliberate action and strategic choice.

Just like how, at the beginning, Kaien didn't choose to train within the Uchiha compound. Instead, he went to Konoha's public training grounds—because he kn...

140 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

Team Dusk didn't have time to enjoy their meal. Each member stopped what they were doing, eyes instinctively turning toward the distant horizon.

There, a blinding red pillar of light had pierced the sky, splitting the heavens in two.

Naruto's eyes widened as he stared at the crimson column. A look of shock flashed across his face. That chakra—he knew it all too well. There was no doubt in his mind.

"That's tailed beast chakra! No mistake... it has to be the Six-Tails!" he ...

139 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

A hundred miles away, Team Dusk had set up camp and was resting around a crackling fire, casually discussing their next move.

"We've been searching every day for so long, and still not a single clue," Karui from Kumogakure said impatiently.

Samui, also from Kumogakure, was the first to speak up in response.

"Even so, we have to keep looking. If we don't, the entire Shinobi World will fall into Akatsuki's hands."

"Don't kill the mood," Akatsuchi from Iwagakure interject...

423 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

After repairing the destruction caused by Tsunade and Momoshiki's battle, Mirai returned to Konoha with Haruna.

Following this fight, the once-mysterious Ōtsutsuki clan no longer seemed so untouchable in everyone's eyes.

Now, the ninja world was strong enough to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Ōtsutsuki!

Even Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was in high spirits.

Back then, driven by fear of death and the temptation of the God Tree's chakra, she had ambushed Isshiki Ōtsutsuki. ...

422 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki was dead.

Both his soul and body had been completely annihilated.

While the Ōtsutsuki clan had many life-saving techniques, for Mirai now, killing one of them wasn't much of a challenge anymore.

When time resumed, none of the others noticed anything unusual.

Only Ōtsutsuki Kaguya spoke in a low voice,

"Lord Mirai, the Ōtsutsuki clan possesses secret techniques that allow them to reincarnate."

"Even if Momoshiki's physical body was de...

228 I Became a Jonin

"The light of the Divine One shines upon all followers! Would you like to join us in worshiping the Deity? They are the most merciful of all gods, a towering presence who delivers all beings from suffering and misfortune, bringing peace and happiness! Fate may be unjust, but the Divine One can change destiny..."

The shrine maiden Miroku stepped forward with a serene smile as she watched the expression on Kocho Kanae's face.

Having left the Land of Demons some time ago, she had alr...

227 I Became a Jonin

"Even if you're scared, you've still got to run! If you don't move now, you'll really die!"

Kanae Kocho stepped in front of Yamanaka Shinno protectively. Seeing him frozen in place for what felt like forever, she grew increasingly anxious.

As she took a small step back to prepare to strike, her heel shot out and landed squarely against Shinno's shin.

He looked down at the footprint left on the hem of his pants, frowned slightly... then chuckled softly.

In the world of ...

211 Naruto: Yagura Karatachi

The path Yagura had laid out was still too "urbanized" for Yahiko and the others to fully grasp.

It would take time to process.

But there was no rush—after all, the one loafing around here was just a clone. The real Yagura had returned to his office, buried in work.

The clone lounged back in his chair, thinking smugly that the real one was a bit of a fool.

If he were the original, he'd send the clone to do the paperwork while he went out to relax.

Still, clone ...

210 Naruto: Yagura Karatachi

Two days later.

Yahiko was finally able to get out of bed and began dealing with the aftermath of his own recklessness and naïveté.

Nagato took charge and summoned back all the scattered Akatsuki members throughout the Land of Rain. He needed to consolidate their forces and avoid being wiped out by rogue Rain ninja.

Meanwhile, Gidōmaru set out from their base, heading toward the area where the others had been traveling to, hoping to find any surviving Aka...

024 Breaking the World Apart

"Neji, why haven't you been coming to see me lately?"

"Sasuke, it's always me going to the Uchiha compound. Why don't you come to the Hyūga clan?"

"Tch... It's because of the Hyūga main house. You know, those looks they give—mixing pity with contempt, like they're watching some fool. It's seriously disgusting."

Hearing Sasuke's complaint, Neji nodded in agreement. Ever since the Uchiha Clan was wiped out, somehow the Hyūga had gradually earned the title of Konoha's 'lar...

023 Breaking the World Apart

Time flew by.

This year, the climate had been unusually strange—cherry blossoms bloomed a season early, their pale pink petals adding a rare splash of color to Konohagakure.

At some point, the environment across the shinobi world had begun to deteriorate. The air now seemed thick with smog, as if coated in dust, and many had forgotten what color the sky was supposed to be.

Prices soared, the economy slumped, and even the wealthy Land of Fire wasn't immune ...

022 Breaking the World Apart

Neji thought it over and realized Sasuke made a lot of sense.

However, he was still worried about the Root. In the manga, Danzō was portrayed as a greedy, power-hungry man with an intense desire for control. If he found out about Sasuke's bizarre abilities, it would probably turn into another political mess.

In short, it was all Danzō's fault!

After a brief rest, Neji and Sasuke launched into another intense sparring match.

A thick, rotting mist gathered in Sasuke's ...

021 Breaking the World Apart

The shadow's words struck straight at the part of Sasuke that he couldn't quite put into words. Simply killing Itachi or destroying Konoha wouldn't be enough to satisfy him. What he really wanted was to stand atop the moral high ground, to judge Konoha's sins in the name of justice.

But deep down, he knew it was impossible. Death alone could not change the will of the ninja, especially not the Konoha elders. They might even use their dying breaths to stage a sentimental flashback, paint...

020 Breaking the World Apart

A bountiful fishing season should have been something to celebrate, but Hoshigaki Kisame saw it with his own eyes — the fishermen's lives hadn't improved at all. In fact, they were worse than before.

Ordinary folks had no way to store large amounts of seafood. If they couldn't sell it quickly, it would just rot and stink. Yet, with the fish market oversaturated, buyers took advantage of the situation, mercilessly driving down prices. The harder the fishermen worked, the more they were...

019 Breaking the World Apart

The rain in the Land of Rain was endless. The humidity here was overwhelming, and Karin found it hard to get used to. Still, since Nanami had ordered her to infiltrate the Akatsuki, she had no choice but to endure it for now.

At this point, Karin had already successfully joined the Akatsuki. It hadn't been particularly difficult — following the intel Nanami had provided, she entered the Land of Rain under the pretense of searching for relatives. The relative she claimed to be looking ...
