"Why are there so many outsiders here?"

"Could they be like Inuarashi and Nekomamushi—members of another race?"

"This is definitely Wano, but why are there so many foreigners?"

"I think I've heard of this race before... they're Fish-Men!"

"And look at how well they get along with the people here."

"Let's find a place to eat first."

"Do we have any money on us?"

"I have some hidden in my shoe. It should be enough for a meal."

"Where should we g...

249 One Piece: My Name is Jack

After a year of battle, Kuzan and his group finally returned. They had fought numerous enemies on behalf of the Beasts Pirates, and now, Jack was seeing them again for the first time.

Despite their overwhelming strength and Kaido personally appointing them as high-ranking officers, even Enel had to follow protocol after being promoted. Strength alone wasn't enough—without going through the motions, the lower-ranking pirates wouldn't accept them so easily.

Jack had also spent the...

"Madam Shyarly, nice to meet you! My name is Jack. Don't you think we make a great match?"

Jack couldn't help but flirt as he gazed at Madam Shyarly, who exuded an air of aloof charm, a cigarette resting between her lips.

Bang!

"Cut the crap, Jack!"

Yamato smacked Jack on the head with her kanabo, sending him crashing to the ground. Despite taking blows from countless powerful opponents without a scratch, a massive bump formed on his head.

Grabbi...

247 One Piece: My Name is Jack

As Jack carried his group back to Onigashima, they encountered Doflamingo's Pirate Ship along the way.

After briefly speaking with Doflamingo and learning that Kaido's crew was in Ailen Island, Jack resumed his journey with Shiryu and the others.

To their credit, Shiryu's group had remarkable endurance—an arduous journey of over a month, and they had only eaten a single meal. By the time they reached Ailen Island, the weakest among them, Van Augur, could barely stand, while the ...

When Shiryu and the others regained consciousness, they found themselves on a small island. 

Hancock slowly came to as well, only to realize that her hands and feet were shackled. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free. Frustrated, she lashed out at Jack with a furious glare.

"You insolent brute! Filthy scum!"

"Release me this instant!"

"If you dare keep me like this, I swear I'll turn you into stone!"

...

"Hmph..."

"Oi! You lo...

Teach was dead—a brutal, miserable death.

"Captain Teach! Waaaah...!"

Burgess clutched Teach's lifeless body, sobbing uncontrollably. Jack, watching the scene, nodded in satisfaction.

"Loyalty. I respect that."

Then he smirked. "But you just stepped on your captain's guts."

Burgess shuddered.

"Stop right there."

Jack's voice turned cold as he fixed his gaze on Shiryu and the others, who were attempting to slip away.

"You're all fairly strong,"...

Planting trees is a boring task.

Even more so when you're not allowed to use chakra.

But honestly, even if chakra was allowed, neither Uchiha Kaien nor Namikaze Minato knew Earth Release.

Minato was a little better off—he had learned Earth-Style Wall, but he had only learned it. It was nowhere near ready for combat use. In practical terms, he was better off relying on his speed and using the Body Flicker Technique to avoid attacks.

What Uchiha Kagami hadn't ...

After that brief run-in with Might Duy, Uchiha Kagami continued leading the two Genin through the mission board.

The tasks suited for freshly graduated Genin—some familiar, some completely new—were all listed on the notice board in front of them.

"Babysitting for nobles, cleaning out the sewers in Konoha's eastern district, finding the Daimyō's wife's lost cat, harvesting crops…"

The missions were neatly arranged, each with its reward clearly listed underneath.

Uchiha Kagami couldn't help but sigh as he watched. The bond between those two was clearly something special. No wonder they could pull off such a high-level combination technique at their age.

He felt a bit sorry for his own son, who had been trying so hard to get closer to Kaien, but never seemed to find the right opportunity. Poor kid. Even if he wanted to be a doting older brother, he couldn't get the chance.

Kagami had overheard his son complaining more than once about how th...

After reminding Uchiha Kagami to take the two boys for their ninja registration, Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to his office.

The shinobi world wasn't exactly peaceful at the moment. As Hokage, he was swamped with work. Just the fact that he'd managed to find time in his packed schedule to observe the Genin test for Kaien and Minato was already a small miracle.

Besides, the new interpretation of the Will of Fire that had just come to him—he couldn't let that inspiration sli...

Uchiha Kaien reached for the bracelet on his wrist and summoned a massive Fūma Shuriken.

(Fūma Shuriken are large, four-bladed projectile weapons possessing pre-eminent sharpness and lethality.)

The stark contrast between his small frame and the enormous weapon was striking.

Thanks to the dynamic visual acuity of his Sharingan—outwardly appearing as two tomoe, but secretly three—Kaien quickly locked onto Uchiha Kagami. At the same time, ...

If a single person had launched a combination ninjutsu attack, Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't have been all that surprised. The shocking part was that this Wind-Fire combo had been jointly unleashed by Uchiha Kaien and Namikaze Minato.

Most shinobi can't perform combination ninjutsu due to incompatible chakra natures—or simply lacking the right chakra types altogether.

Take water and fire, for instance. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, a renowned ninjutsu master, couldn't merge those two clash...

"You thought of me first? Well, thanks for that."

Uchiha Kagami muttered to himself, then glanced at his injuries. Right on schedule—just as the head nurse said, it would take about a week to heal.

"If they pass the graduation exam, then I'd like to trouble you, Kagami, to guide them for a while longer. Help them get used to mission protocols, and pass on some of your experience."

The frontlines had enough manpower for now. Even after Kagami recovered, there was no pressin...

Even though he kept an eye on those two little brats from time to time, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew the proper procedures had to be followed—if anything, they needed to be stricter than usual.

After all, those two were his grand-disciples. The Jonin assigned to lead them had to be strong enough—there was no room for mediocrity.

It was a pity he'd already sent Orochimaru and the others to Amegakure. If they were still around, letting them take charge of his students would've been per...

Money problems? That was a lie, of course.

Even if Uchiha Kaien didn't take on a single mission, his family's inheritance alone could support him comfortably until adulthood.

Not to mention, he'd pulled a decent chunk of cash from the system's lottery—maybe not a full hundred million, but at least tens of millions.

Still, as always—if Minato didn't know how much money he had, and Kaien said he had no money, then that was that. No money!

And if they were go...

Bright, clear eyes stared unblinking at Namikaze Minato, and the serious look on that face momentarily caught him off guard.

Seeing that Minato really did look like he was on his last legs—not faking it—Uchiha Kaien decided to let him off the hook.

With a casual flip, Kaien lay back on the grass as well.

Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy overhead, warm rays dancing down through the gaps and soaking into his skin. Kaien squinted slightly, enjoying the comfort. 2025-04-22 10:18:35 +0000 UTC View Post

Jonin Council Meeting.

The clean, spacious chamber was already packed with people.

A few whispered quietly among themselves. Though the Hokage had yet to arrive, it was clear that this was no ordinary meeting—this wasn't going to be simple.

Just judging from the turnout alone made that obvious.

Aside from a few Jonin who were injured or stationed at the borders, nearly every Jonin in the village was present.

"Jonin Kato, what's your take on all...

"Honored sirs, the Hokage has summoned you."

Just as everyone was still intrigued by the changes in Uchiha Kaien's Sharingan, an Anbu appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

"Lord Sakumo, Lord Orochimaru, Lord Jiraiya, and Lady Tsunade."

The Anbu squad captain bowed respectfully to the four. He had no choice but to be humble—one of them was his direct superior, and the other three were all students of the Third Hokage. Not people you could afford to offend.

Fortunately, n...

One year later.

The ninja world was still mostly at peace, though local skirmishes continued to flare up from time to time. Prices of ninja tools—kunai, explosive tags, and the like—had crept up slightly.

Orochimaru and the others had also returned to Konoha to recuperate.

A full year of near-constant battles had made them all stronger, and their understanding of ninjutsu had deepened considerably.

Orochimaru, meanwhile, had finally learned of his ...

After a full day of training, Uzumaki Kushina arrived at the gates of the Senju estate.

She hadn't been in Konoha for long, but the village had already started to feel like home.

Sure, someone had mocked her on her first day, calling her a tomato—but after that, no one dared tease her again.

Thinking about it still made her puff up with frustration. Her already round cheeks puffed out like a warm little steamed bun.

What Kushina didn't know was that the bullying stop...

Back in the afternoon, during Sakumo Hatake's lesson.

"Minato, I can offer you a few pointers when it comes to understanding speed."

"Please do, Sakumo-sensei."

Namikaze Minato's request was earnest.

Lately, the pressure on him had been building. Kaien had grown stronger—almost without anyone noticing.

Especially since Kaien had already awakened the Sharingan some time ago, though he hadn't used it against Minato in any of their sparring matches until now.

Land of Grass.

Ever since White Zetsu lured Uchiha Kaien over, Madara had changed his base of operations.

The facility in the Land of Iron was put on hold. Instead, he established a new underground hideout in the Land of Grass.

Such caution and patience were essential for someone working behind the scenes.

He couldn't afford to let that kid discover any link—no matter how small—between his parents' deaths and himself. Not yet.

Under countless gazes—some filled with admiration, some with reverence, and others with open awe—Uchiha Kaien casually returned to the lineup. He was more than used to this kind of attention.

Go ahead, bask in my brilliance.

Watching the affection points roll in on his panel, Kaien felt this fight had been well worth it.

Most of his classmates couldn't generate affection, but this class had plenty of shinobi clan kids. Even one or two civilian students—not including Na...

"This... even after watching it so many times, it still feels unbelievable."

Nara Shikaku stared at the aftermath of the clash between Uchiha Kaien and Namikaze Minato, wishing he could demote himself and go back to being a first-year student alongside the academy rookies.

These two were absolute monsters. How could they have this much chakra at their age?

And the sheer power of their jutsu... using B-rank techniques so effortlessly in battle—

There's no way this is ...

"You're still trying to fight me in close quarters? Too naive, Minato."

"With my Sharingan activated, your speed is nothing special anymore."

Kaien hadn't been able to keep up with Namikaze Minato's movements before. But now, with the Sharingan enhancing his perception, he was confident—there was no way he'd lose track of Minato's movements again.

Through the crimson lenses of his Sharingan, he could clearly see chakra gathering in Minato's legs—a clear sign he was about...

Uchiha Kaien paid no mind to Hyuga Hizashi's astonished look.

Seeing Hizashi rush at him, Kaien didn't retreat in the slightest.

Before, he could toy with Hizashi even without taking things seriously—now that he had activated his Sharingan, it wasn't even a contest. He was going to crush him.

Every Uchiha who awakens the Sharingan ends up arrogant and proud.

They trust their eyes, trust their skills, and bloom brilliantly amidst danger. That's what Uchiha-style taiju...

Compared to the lighthearted atmosphere of the Ninja Academy, the tension inside the Hokage's Office was heavy.

The Leaf's Council had all gathered, each with a solemn expression as they read over the latest intel in their hands.

"Kumogakure has rejected our letter of condemnation. They've also begun increasing their forces along the border. Our ninja have already clashed with theirs in small skirmishes."
