...

Konoha moved quickly after their victory, expanding their control over most of the Land of Grass in short order. Ōnoki hadn't expected the Iwagakure forces led by Kitsuchi to collapse so easily.

...

Iwagakure

Ōnoki stared furiously at the report laid out before him, a detailed account of the disastrous battle on the front lines. Iwagakure had suffered a crushing defeat, and Kitsuchi was not only seriously wounded, but captured.

And it wasn'...

"We have no grudge against Otogakure. Why are you hunting us down like this?" Kitsuchi shouted, eyes filled with resentment as he looked at his fallen comrades and the headband tied around Hyuga Gakuya's arm.

Gakuya's chakra-formed serpents lashed out again, taking yet another Iwagakure ninja's life.

"Can't be helped. Konoha paid too well."

"Whatever Konoha's paying you, we'll double it!" Kitsuchi shouted through gritted teeth. He knew he couldn't defeat this man. His own li...

Two days later, inside the Hokage's Office in Konoha...

The first thing Jiraiya and the others did after returning from Otogakure was report to the Hokage on how the negotiations had gone.

"How did it go? Will Otogakure send troops?" Tsunade asked without delay.

"They agreed," Jiraiya said proudly. "Chiba Mokushū himself is leading the forces. They set out not long after we left Otogakure. It's all thanks to yours truly—took everything Shikaku and I had t...

After seeing off the Konoha delegation, Yakushi Kabuto approached Hyuga Gakuya and reported,

"Everything is ready. We can activate the puppet production line the moment you give the word."

Gakuya was in high spirits. He knew his efforts hadn't been in vain.

"Let's go. I want to see my puppet army with my own eyes."

Together, Kabuto and Gakuya stepped into the elevator of the underground Otogakure research facility, descending deep below the surface. When the doors open...

For the next few days, a little shadow trailed behind Hyuga Gakuya wherever he went. Hanabi stuck to him like glue, constantly pestering him with questions whenever she had a moment to spare.

This continued until the night before the Konoha delegation was scheduled to leave. That evening, Gakuya agreed to give Hanabi a one-on-one training session.

He guided her almost hand-in-hand, patiently teaching her ninjutsu and taijutsu techniques.

Watching Hanabi train like a madwoman...

075 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

The scene unfolding was… well, suggestive, to say the least. Thankfully, Hyuga Gakuya reacted quickly, shoving the gift box into Hinata's hands and immediately turning away to prove his innocence.

Just then, Hanabi, having wiped her tears, opened her eyes—only to find a strange man standing in the room, while she herself was completely naked.

"AHHH!!"

Gakuya barely had time to process the scream before the door slammed shut—Hanabi had rushed straight back into the bath...

074 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

Not everything goes according to plan. Originally, Hyuga Gakuya was certain their capture operation would go unnoticed. Yet, Iwagakure caught wind of it anyway.

Before the Akatsuki even discovered Roshi's whereabouts, Iwagakure's ANBU had already found him. However, during the time it took them to return and report back…

By the time Onoki returned with his team, Roshi had vanished once more. This made Onoki start to wonder if something worse had happened—had Roshi been killed?...

073 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

In the Hokage's office in Konoha, Tsunade sat discussing the aid mission to Otogakure with her two advisors.

She pulled out a list of personnel and handed it to them.

"Jiraiya and Nara Shikaku will lead the delegation," she said. "The escort will include Kakashi's team and Kurenai's team. I'll also assign a squad of ANBU to protect them in secret."

"All of them were close friends of Chiba Mokushuu back when he was in Konoha. It'll make things go more smoothly."

Mitokad...

072 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

Roshi struggled to raise a wall of magma in front of him to defend against the attack, but streaks of bluish light kept piercing through and striking his body.

"If you trust me, jump into the magma behind you. I swear you won't die!" Son Goku, the Four-Tails, said with a grave tone.

"But…" Roshi hesitated. Even though he was a Lava Release user and could manipulate magma, jumping into it and swimming wasn't exactly a viable option.

"There's no 'but' about it," Son Goku gro...

071 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

After receiving the mission, the group slipped right back into their favorite activity—chatting. Out of the blue, Uchiha Itachi asked,

"Anyone know where Orochimaru is?"

It looked like he'd already found out that Orochimaru had lured away Uchiha Sasuke. Not surprising—the incident happened right near the Konoha border and caused a decent stir. Konoha hadn't exactly tried to hide it either.

Before long, the news that the last of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke, had defected from ...

Otogakure

Hyuga Gakuya brought Sasuke and Neji to a training ground and handed them each a stack of scrolls packed with techniques suited to their individual strengths.

"You'll both be training here. Neji, follow the path I took in ninja body arts."

"Sasuke, I've prepared everything you need—swordsmanship, Lightning Release, Fire Release. It's all there."

"Before each day's training, you two will spar. Use it to measure your progress."

"If you ...

069 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

A few days later, at the Valley of the End near the borders of the Land of Fire, Hyuga Gakuya stood atop the statue of Uchiha Madara, silently waiting for the two boys to arrive.

This was once the battleground of Madara and Hashirama Senju—the two colossal statues standing face-to-face served as a monument to that legendary clash.

Gakuya watched quietly as two figures approached from the distance. In the lead was Uchiha Sasuke, fleeing, while behind him, Uzumaki Naruto gave rele...

Konan asked Nagato, confused, "Why break off from Obito? Wouldn't it be better to use his strength to complete the plan?"

Nagato shook his head and coughed lightly.

"He's not someone who truly desires peace. I'm certain he has his own agenda."

Konan didn't press the issue.

"Should we remove Kisame, Gakuya, and Uchiha Itachi from the organization then? Weren't they all Obito's recommendations?"

"No need. Obito's identity has been exposed—no one will trust him an...

067 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

Outside the gates of Konoha, Hyuga Gakuya and Hinata lingered for a while longer, chatting quietly. Before they parted ways, they made a promise: when the chance came, Gakuya would take her to visit the Land of Fields.

Gakuya opened his arms and grinned. "A goodbye hug, maybe?"

"U-Um… okay…" Hinata stepped forward hesitantly, arms raised—but she froze, unsure.

Smiling warmly, Gakuya took the initiative and gently pulled her into a hug.

"While I'm gone, try to be ...

066 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

Hyuga Gakuya stepped forward and pressed his hand to Jiraiya's chest. In an instant, the curse marks spread across Jiraiya's body were drawn back into Gakuya's palm.

Jiraiya stirred awake, shivering from a sudden chill.

"You, huh... You're here to lift the curse?"

Gakuya nodded and turned to leave, but Jiraiya grabbed his arm.

"Hey, that genjutsu of yours—can you teach it to me? I'll trade you another Sage Art for it."

Gakuya raised a brow. He was genuinely cur...

065 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

"You can let go of Jiraiya now. I've already agreed to your conditions. It's time for you to show some sincerity." Tsunade's eyes were locked on Jiraiya, her meaning clear without needing to be spelled out.

Hyuga Gakuya manipulated the chakra serpent coiled around him. It slithered up and bit into Jiraiya's neck, injecting a pulse of chakra into his body. A strange curse mark began to form.

Only then did Gakuya release him. He followed up with a healing jutsu, carefully removing J...

064 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

Not long after Tsunade had left, two ANBU escorted Naruto toward Konoha's shelter—only to find Uchiha Hikari standing in their path.

The moment they noticed the Sound Village forehead protector on her brow, their eyes filled with alarm. But against the power of the Sharingan, it was all for nothing.

Hikari activated her Mangekyō Sharingan, and the two ANBU fell under her genjutsu in an instant.

With swift precision, she eliminated both of them and then approached Naruto, ...

063 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

Naruto, now transformed with the chakra of the Seven-Tails, thrashed violently as Yamato's Wood Release struggled to contain him. The tailed beast chakra was only growing stronger, and the jutsu could only hold him for so long.

...

Inside Naruto's Mindscape—

Naruto had completely lost consciousness, consumed by the overwhelming chakra of the Nine-Tails. Slowly, he walked toward the prison gate where the beast was sealed.

"Faster! Just a little more!"...

062 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

Within the Four Violet Flames Formation, Hiruzen Sarutobi poured every last ounce of strength into the Reaper Death Seal, aiming to seal both Hashirama and Tobirama Senju once and for all.

He lunged toward Kabuto, determined to take down the mastermind behind Konoha's crisis, even if it meant dying together. But Kabuto, ever the schemer, had anticipated this and stayed far out of reach, instructing Orochimaru to keep Hiruzen occupied.

Hiruzen had no choice. If he delayed any longe...

061 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

Jiraiya's expression was grim. Everything Hyuga Gakuya said—he already knew. But this was the reality of the ninja world: the strong prey on the weak.

Still, he needed to de-escalate the situation with the Otogakure leader in front of him. He said,

"If you leave now with the Sound shinobi, Konoha guarantees we'll stop accepting tribute from the Land of Fields. In fact, we'll even compensate them generously."

But Gakuya's gaze was resolute as he rejected Jiraiya's offer. 2025-04-13 17:29:23 +0000 UTC View Post

"Not good!" Hiruzen Sarutobi shot to his feet, finally unable to maintain his calm as he stared at the four massive tails thrashing on stage. Panic-stricken, he rushed down toward the arena.

But before he could reach it, a figure blocked his path—it was none other than Orochimaru, his body wrapped head-to-toe in bandages, draped in the Kazekage's robes.

Orochimaru's arm morphed into a tangle of serpents that instantly bound Hiruzen. With a flick, he hurled the Third Hokage onto ...

059 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

The next morning, just outside the gates of Konoha, ox-drawn carriages rolled in one after another, bringing nobles and high-ranking officials from all over the ninja world.

Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't slept a wink the entire night. He originally wanted Danzo to help welcome the Raikage and other dignitaries, but when he sent someone to summon him, Root's entire base had already been abandoned.

The ANBU squad dispatched to investigate only found blood splattered across the ground—id...

058 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

"You have ten Sharingan embedded in your arm," Hyuga Gakuya's voice slithered into Danzo's ears like a demon's whisper, shattering his final thread of hope. "Each time you resurrect, one eye closes. There are seven still open. Am I right?"

Danzo's legs buckled, and he slumped against the wall to stay upright. All his trump cards—completely exposed by Hyuga Gakuya.

"In the next few minutes," Gakuya said coldly, "you'll die seven more times. Let's continue."

In the blink of ...

Konohagakure Underground Root Base

This facility was hidden on the outskirts of the village—perfect for Danzo to carry out his dirty work away from prying eyes.

The Root base was built like a massive vertical well. Layer after layer of rooms and staircases descended into the earth like a vast ant colony.

Danzo was in an unusually good mood as he sat in his private chamber, sipping sake and nibbling on a few side dishes.

After all, tomorrow marked the...

056 Naruto: Awaken the Tenseigan

Amid pain and turmoil, Uzumaki Naruto once again found himself standing inside the watery prison of the Nine-Tails' seal. Staring at the colossal figure trapped behind bars, Naruto's voice was low and cold.

"Hey, big guy. You're the Nine-Tails, right? You want out, don't you?"

"That's right. I can lend you my power—let's turn this world upside down."

The Nine-Tails grinned as it looked at the small figure before it.

"I can help you destroy Konoha and wipe out Hiruzen...

004 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

A desolate canyon stretched endlessly, jagged cliffs resembling the fangs of a giant beast. Ominous clouds loomed overhead, foretelling the coming storm. In the dim shadows, Orochimaru's pale face flickered, his golden serpent-like eyes glinting with cold amusement. Slowly, he raised an arm, and his sleeve swelled abruptly—countless venomous snakes burst forth like a black tide, their hissing cries slicing through the air. The writhing mass wove together, forming a net of death that shot to...

003 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

The moment Jiraiya's fingertips brushed against the damp steel walls, the distinct scent of rust and rain filled his nostrils—the signature aroma of Amegakure. Holding his breath, he expanded his sensory net in Sage Mode, chakra signatures flickering in his mind like fireflies on a summer night.

"Something's not right." Fukasaku, perched on his shoulder, tapped his forehead protector with a webbed finger. "The range of the Rain Tiger at Will Technique has increased fivefold since last...

002 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

(T/N: I've gotten a little overwhelmed with what's going on.)

Dark clouds loomed over Konohagakure, the Four Violet Flames Formation casting a purple glow over the rooftop, trapping the Third Hokage and Orochimaru inside. Raindrops that passed through the barrier evaporated instantly, turning into wisps of white smoke. In the flickering light of the storm, the cracked and weathered face of Senju Hashirama appeared eerily lifelike. His Wood Release had already torn through half of the st...
