109 I Became a Jonin

9:00 AM, Anbu Training Division, Konohagakure.

Dressed in a black combat uniform with a jonin vest over it, Yamanaka Shinno approached the main entrance. Hidden in the shadows behind the gate, a Root shinobi stepped forward to open it for him, offering a slight bow in greeting.

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

As Shinno stepped into the Anbu Training Division, his crisp footsteps echoed throughout the vast, windowless hall. The heavy doors shut behind him, and darkness s...

238 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

A masked ninja appeared behind Orochimaru in an instant, executing a swift Body Flicker Technique. With a sharp motion, he drew his katana and slashed horizontally.

Slash!

Orochimaru's body was severed at the waist. A blow like this would have been excruciating for anyone else—but for Orochimaru, it was a different story. His upper body twisted in midair, yet instead of showing pain, a smirk of intrigue formed on his lips.

In the blink of an eye, his mouth gaped u...

237 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

The moment the scroll was unfurled, Kakuzu couldn't hide his shock. His usually composed expression shifted, and even his pupils dilated slightly. It wasn't that he was easily shaken—far from it—but what Orochimaru had just handed him connected deeply with certain knowledge from his past life.

"These are circuit diagrams… and a simplified blueprint for an engine."

"Oh? So Kakuzu-sama is calling this a circuit diagram?" Orochimaru's grin widened. "A good name. Let's stick wit...

236 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

"Lord Kakuzu, Hiashi Hyuga and his wife have requested entry into the Land of Dragons for the fifth time." Ni stood beside Kakuzu, holding a summary of the border reports as she relayed the information.

Kakuzu leaned on his right hand, his expression indifferent.

"Hiashi and his wife are certainly persistent. They keep applying to enter the Land of Dragons at every opportunity. Even if they're not tired of it, I certainly am."

"Shall I issue a direct rejection?" Ni asked. 2025-03-25 06:11:03 +0000 UTC View Post

235 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

Just as Haku was about to step forward with a smile to teach these brats the seriousness of their actions, an authoritative voice rang out, freezing the expression on his face.

"You're not going either!"

The sudden command left Haku momentarily stunned, and he turned his gaze toward Kakuzu in disbelief.

"Sensei, if none of us step in, are we supposed to just watch Hinata get bullied?" Suigetsu protested.

Kakuzu shot him a sharp sidelong glance, his eyes radiating a chi...

108 I Became a Jonin

At 8 p.m., after his second round of "treatment" and another free dinner, Kakashi respectfully took his leave.

Shinno watched as Kushina, her face flushed, hurried into the bathroom after washing the dishes.

Without hesitation, he strengthened the genjutsu on Tsunade. Then, instead of heading back to his own room, he slipped straight into Kushina's bedroom.

[...]

Kushina lingered in the bathroom for over an hour, stalling as long as possible. When she finally emerged, ...

107 I Became a Jonin

Kushina had always been a fast cook.

By the time Tsunade returned, it took less than fifteen minutes for the table to be filled with a variety of fragrant, delicious dishes.

Yamanaka Shinno casually dispelled the genjutsu on Kakashi.

Snapping back to reality, Kakashi's eyes were still misty with lingering tears.

Noticing the group staring at him, he quickly turned his head away, wiped his eyes discreetly, and composed himself before taking a seat at the lower end of th...

204 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

This was one of Sarutobi Hiruzen's most powerful composite ninjutsu.

Seeing Jiraiya trying to get close, Hiruzen immediately activated the technique. He knew that Jiraiya had a purpose in approaching him, and he couldn't allow that to happen.

"He's even more troublesome than Hanzo the Salamander."

Jiraiya's expression grew solemn. The pressure Sarutobi Hiruzen exuded was far greater than Hanzo's. Without his poison, Hanzo wouldn't stand a chance against the Third Hokage.

203 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

Hiruzen Sarutobi had mastered all elemental jutsu, seamlessly combining them to create formidable techniques. However, due to their relatively low rank, their power remained limited. No matter how well he executed them, they were simply insufficient to take down Jiraiya.

Hiruzen's heart sank as he watched Jiraiya effortlessly neutralize his attack with a single move.

Jiraiya had truly grown strong.

"Jiraiya, for the sake of the village's future, I will stop you. Your ambitio...

343 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

"I was... deceived?"

Madara raised an eyebrow, looking at Mirai in confusion.

"I awakened the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, gained the power of the Kekkei Mōra, awakened the Rinnegan, and conceived the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan—all based on the stone tablet left behind by the Sage of Six Paths."

"You're not about to tell me that the Sage of Six Paths was wrong, are you? Do you think the Infinite Tsukuyomi is impossible?"

As a schemer, Madara had only ever deceived othe...

342 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Madara naturally understood what Mirai was trying to do, but he couldn't help it. The words Mirai had spoken had already conjured vivid images in his mind.

Just thinking about a future where he could live carefree alongside Hashirama Senju, without clan hatred, ideological conflicts, or the burden of his family and younger brother...

Madara couldn't resist speaking up.

"Mirai, I suddenly remembered—after my death, it seems a lot has changed in the shinobi world."

"So...

160 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Flames engulfed the sky, turning the entire surrounding area into a sea of fire.

"Pointless resistance," Pain muttered, his eyes narrowing.

The raging flames around him were suddenly blown away.

Tss... Tss Tss...

The fire was pushed aside, dissipating into steam as it met a massive wall of water.

From below, the view of Konoha's sky was dominated by a gigantic sphere of water, covering nearly the entire village. At its very center, enveloped in thick ste...

159 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

The evening sun cast an orange glow across the sky, illuminating a small courtyard within the Uchiha clan compound.

"I'm home!"

"Sasuke's back! Hurry and wash your hands—dinner's ready." Uchiha Mikoto, wearing an apron, stepped out to take his bag, her face full of warmth and affection.

The dining table was already filled with a variety of delicious dishes.

"I won't be eating. There's something I need to take care of."

Uchiha Fugaku, who had been seated, stood ...

126 Naruto: Yagura Karatachi

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist encountered Might Duy.

They were reduced to nothing more than a tragic spectacle.

Now, only two remained.

With Yagura's prior warning, Jinin Akebino did not participate in the battle and managed to escape.

Another survivor, Hoshigaki Fuguki, was gravely injured but still alive. He was taken back to Kirigakure by Jinin Akebino.

The swords of the five fallen members were sealed into scrolls and returned to the Mizukage.

Y...

125 Naruto: Yagura Karatachi

Fuguki Suikazan had no idea that the rumors he had spread in the village about Yagura had already been completely exposed.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were reassigned the next day, sent out of Kirigakure on a mission to Konohagakure in the Land of Fire.

To the swordsmen, this was nothing more than an act of guilt.

"Hah! That little brat who still hasn't grown all his hair thinks he can go against us? What a joke!"

Seven figures darted swiftly through the dens...

124 Naruto: Yagura Karatachi

The mission was clear—escort the Kirigakure emissary safely back to their village and ensure that nothing jeopardized the alliance between Kirigakure and Sunagakure.

It was a top-secret assignment, directly issued by the Fourth Kazekage himself.

At the time, Pakura had been in the training grounds.

She cast a warning glance at the approaching figure, silently telling them not to interrupt.

Taking a deep breath, Pakura controlled her Scorch Release, expanding a fiery ...

123 Naruto: Yagura Karatachi

Acting Mizukage Karatachi Yagura had once deliberately let Sunagakure's Scorch Release user, Pakura, escape during a mission!

No one knew where this rumor started.

From small roadside taverns to street corners where gossip spread like wildfire, whispers turned into loud discussions among neighbors.

In just one night, the entire Kirigakure was consumed by it.

The Mizukage's office remained silent in response.

But this cold indifference only fueled the rumors, maki...

158 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

The tightly wrapped branches slowly unfurled, revealing the clan leader of the Ōtsutsuki branch family. His eyes opened gradually, and he stood frozen in place.

Reflected in his solitary eye was the pattern of the Mangekyō Sharingan—a detail that spoke volumes.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

From the treetops above, more than a dozen figures appeared in an instant, gazing warily at Danzo and his companion below.

"Who are you?"

From the branch clan leader's memorie...

157 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Upon arriving at the teleportation platform on the moon, Danzo staggered slightly as he emerged from the spatial passage.

Brushing the dust off his clothes, he turned his gaze toward the distant silver light illuminating the sky.

Such an awe-inspiring power.

His sensory abilities confirmed that all the Flying Thunder God markers he had placed outside the temple had been wiped out by the light.

As the silver radiance faded, a massive chasm appeared on the moon's surface...

341 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

"Kid, why did you revive me?"

Madara stared at Mirai, his face full of confusion.

Renowned for his intellect and strategic mind, he now found himself struggling to make sense of the situation.

Faced with Madara's bewilderment, Mirai replied flatly, "Your body is of great research value. You're more useful to me alive than dead."

For a moment, Madara was at a loss for words.

Was that really the reason?

His body… valuable for research?

So, he was noth...

340 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

According to his plan, he should have been resurrected using the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu, not summoned to the living world through the Impure World Reincarnation.

Yet, despite saying that his plan had gone awry, there was no disappointment in Uchiha Madara's tone.

It didn't matter.

Whether it was the Impure World Reincarnation or the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu, as long as he could interfere with the living world, he would always find a way to achieve his goals.

Only then did Mada...

202 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

"I don't want to fight you, Lord Hokage, but for the sake of the village's future and true peace in the shinobi world, I have no other choice."

Jiraiya fixed his gaze on Hiruzen Sarutobi as he spoke.

"Jiraiya, are you really going to turn against your own teacher?" Koharu Utatane asked anxiously. Seeing Jiraiya and Hiruzen truly about to fight made her uneasy.

Jiraiya had grown immensely strong, and Hiruzen was no less formidable. When two tigers clash, one is bound to be wo...

201 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

With his current strength, the great nations were bound to view him with deep wariness.

Especially since each of them had their own ulterior motives—none would truly unite against the Land of Fire. This was the perfect opportunity to annex the Land of Rain. If they missed this chance, conquering it later would become exponentially more difficult. The other nations would undoubtedly aid the Land of Rain in recovering its strength, fostering a powerful rival for the Land of Fire.

106 I Became a Jonin

"Shinno, who was just at the door?"

Kushina pressed the back of her hand against her still-warm cheeks, calling out through the kitchen door.

"ANBU. My appointment letter should arrive soon."

"Huh? Weren't you just transferred to a regular combat unit? Where are you headed now?"

"Take a guess. If you get it right, there's a reward. If you're wrong, you have to kiss me."

"Hehe~ I'm not falling for that! If ANBU came to deliver the news, it must be for an important...

105 I Became a Jonin

The door to the private room swung open as Yamanaka Shinno stepped inside.

Nara Shikaku, having fallen victim to the specially crafted genjutsu Heaven on Earth, could no longer resist the illusion's influence. His dazed eyes swayed as he staggered up from his seat, a blissful expression spreading across his face. He reached for a decorative fan from the liquor cabinet and, with a dramatic flourish, began to dance. As he moved, he even started singing along:

"Ah~ do do do ...

104 I Became a Jonin

Nara Shikaku was officially recognized as a genius with an IQ over 190.

Having grown up alongside Yamanaka Shinno, it only took him a moment to piece things together and grasp the full implications of what he had just heard.

But… Danzo?

That was a revelation so shocking it shook his entire worldview.

With an expression twisted in disbelief, Shikaku rubbed his arm as goosebumps prickled his skin. Then, he exchanged a glance with Yamanaka Inoichi.

After years of ...

103 I Became a Jonin

Inside the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu were all present, their expressions grim as they looked at the weakened Oyashiro En.

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen had been somewhat displeased with Yamanaka Shinno for delaying his return to the village by over twenty days. But upon hearing the intelligence about the alliance between Kirigakure and Iwagakure, he had completely forgotten his previous concerns.

Mea...

102 I Became a Jonin

One Hour Earlier

Inside the Raikage's office in Kumogakure, the Third Raikage, A, sat behind his desk, his gaze heavy as he looked at the two figures standing before him—Nii Yugito and Musai. His voice was grave as he spoke.

"Half an hour ago, we received news from the frontlines. The advance reconnaissance team encountered an ambush by Kirigakure forces while landing on one of the outlying islands of the Land of the Sea. Special Jōnin Seisai... was killed in a...

101 I Became a Jonin

[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the green trait 'Fate's Apprentice.']

Fate's Apprentice (Green): The fate of the living is turbulent and unpredictable, while the fate of the dead shines like a falling star. Life is uncertain, and destiny can change. By actively interfering with and altering another's fate, the host can absorb the free-floating, ownerless power of fate that dissipates when major changes occur in someone's destiny, thereby ...

100 I Became a Jonin

The original story never actually described how Toroi died.

But as for Nigai, his death was crystal clear.

That unlucky guy didn't die during the Third Shinobi World War. Instead, he got killed when he recklessly charged in while accompanying the Fourth Raikage, A, on a mission to steal a scroll of forbidden jutsu from the Sugi Village. He was caught off guard by an explosive insect technique and died on the spot.

"It should be him."

After a brief moment of thought, Ya...
