083 I Became a Jonin

Night had fallen, and thick clouds shrouded the sky, blocking the already dim moonlight and making the darkness even more oppressive.

Thirty kilometers southwest of Kumogakure, a bustling town was ablaze with lights.

Even though midnight was approaching, the noise of laughter, shouting, and revelry remained unabated.

This place was similar to the town near Konoha—a retreat for shinobi looking to unwind after completing missions.

However, due to its strategic location...

082 I Became a Jonin

Three red, three purple, three blue, one black.

Compared to Uchiha Madara, who had six red, three purple, four blue, one green, two gray, and one black—

Yamanaka Shinno completely dominated in traits, except for the black one.

The effects seemed fairly reliable and weren't purely negative traits either. However, in other aspects, his traits were still far from Madara's level.

"That old guy is seriously strong."

Glancing at the trait replication opportunity, Shi...

081 I Became a Jonin

[Congratulations, Host, on obtaining the following traits: Blue - 'Silent Walker,' Green - 'Master Sidekick,' Gray - 'Complete Childhood.']

"Huh?!"

Yamanaka Shinno's eyes lit up the moment he heard the system notification. Without hesitation, he focused on the details of his newly acquired traits.

Silent Walker (Blue): Moving through the shadows, blending into the night, unseen and unheard. Enhances stealth, concealment, disguise, and m...

080 I Became a Jonin

Yamanaka Shinno couldn't help but smirk as he imagined the scene—resetting an enemy's trait and leaving them completely dumbfounded. The mere thought of it was amusing.

However, the ability to reset traits carried a bit of a gambler's risk.

If he reset an enemy's red trait and it became purple, blue, green, white, gray, or black, that would be one thing.

But what if he reset a purple trait, and it suddenly turned red instead?

Now that would be a real disaster!

...

079 I Became a Jonin

The terrifying destructive power of the Water Release: Rasengan was beyond imagination.

Uchiha Madara's chest was instantly torn apart, a gaping hole the size of a human head splitting open!

Yamanaka Shinno used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away.

In the next moment, the out-of-control Water Release: Rasengan completely went berserk!

Buzz—

The Rasengan, originally the size of a human head, instantly expanded into a monstrous swirling sph...

078 I Became a Jonin

A massive cloud of chakra-infused steam rose into the air, mingling with the residual vapor from the earlier clash between colossal Water and Fire Release techniques, forming a dense sea of mist that shrouded the battlefield in an eerie haze.

Within this mist, five ominous, grinning faces emerged, conjured by Yamanaka Shinno's immense chakra—far surpassing that of the Second Mizukage, Hōzuki Gengetsu. The battlefield conditions were perfect, amplifying the effects of his jutsu.

077 I Became a Jonin

It felt as if something vital had been instantly drained from his body. A wave of intense weakness surged through him.

Uchiha Madara felt as though his body had turned into a dilapidated house, riddled with cracks and barely holding together.

His once-mighty chakra, his vast and unfathomable ocular power, and the last remnants of his life force were all leaking away uncontrollably into the surroundings.

His vision blurred, and a sharp pain radiated from his lower back, forci...

076 I Became a Jonin

Back when Yamanaka Shinno first left the cave to fuse his traits, he had left behind two shadow clones.

When he returned, one of them immediately dispelled itself.

With the memories returning to his main body upon the clone's dissolution, Shinno quickly grasped everything that had happened in his absence.

The other clone, however, remained hidden, waiting for the right moment to act.

When Uchiha Madara clashed with Shinno and their Water Release and Fire Release jutsu ...

075 I Became a Jonin

Uchiha Madara remained seated on the stone chair.

With the unparalleled perceptive abilities of his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he could clearly see every reaction from Yamanaka Shinno.

A body split in advance, an advanced Water Release technique that required no hand seals—Water Severing Wave—combined with the Flying Thunder God Technique he had previously displayed.

Just in that brief exchange of blows…

Madara had already made his judgment: this man before him...

073 I Became a Jonin

The three black tomoe in the blood-red eyes gleamed ominously in the dim cave.

Before his words had even fully left his mouth, Uchiha Madara had already leaped from behind the desk.

In an instant, he closed the distance between himself and Yamanaka Shinno. With a flick of his fingers, chakra threads shot out, wrapping around the scythe hanging from the cave wall.

The pipes connected to the Gedo Statue stretched and twisted as he moved, and with a powerful swing, the massive ...

072 I Became a Jonin

Using his finely honed stealth techniques and Hiding with Camouflage Technique, Yamanaka Shinno carefully avoided the White Zetsu scattered throughout the mountainous graveyard and made his way to the edge of the massive crater.

Peering down into the abyss, he saw the remains of an enormous creature lying at the center of the pit—an ominous reminder to any intruder of the dangers lurking within.

Around the crater's rocky walls, several crudely carved openings dotted the surface ...

071 I Became a Jonin

"Cawww—!"

A sharp cry echoed across the sky.

Even without using the Mind Transmission Jutsu, Yamanaka Shinno could hear the unmistakable joy and excitement in Pidgeot's call.

But…

Wasn't it a bit too happy?

Had his Pidgeot been mistreated at the breeding house or something?

It wasn't an unreasonable suspicion.

Sure, the unexpected escape was technically the fault of the breeding house, per the original agreement. But they had already...

070 I Became a Jonin

Just as he stepped out of the Hokage Building, Yamanaka Shinno quietly tapped into the sensory barrier covering all of Konoha, locking onto Nara Shikaku, who was working at the mission reception office.

Seeing that the distance between them was less than 500 meters, he immediately used the Mind Transmission Technique to link their consciousness.

"Shikaku, I just accepted a mission! Guess where I'm going?"

Shikaku froze for a moment, hearing Shinno's voice laced with gritted ...

069 I Became a Jonin

With an almost hypnotic rhythm, Yamanaka Shinno moved fluidly, his dance perfectly complemented by the D-rank genjutsu he had created specifically to enhance the performance.

Namikaze Minato's two dances were met with unanimous praise from the audience, their enthusiasm filling the training grounds.

After a brief moment of fun, Might Guy, Kakashi, and the others returned to their intense training. Only Obito hesitated before approaching Shinno, asking—somewhat sheepishly—if he...

068 I Became a Jonin

Nine crows flitted through the battlefield where Namikaze Minato and Yamanaka Shinno clashed, their flight paths shifting constantly.

Minato's eight Flying Thunder God kunai blinked in and out of existence, recalled and thrown again in rapid succession, forming a seamless, inescapable web of attacks.

Two figures, both clad in Konoha jounin vests, clashed repeatedly before separating again.

Kunai infused with Water Release met Flying Thunder God kunai enhanced with Wind Relea...

067 I Became a Jonin

For three days straight, Yamanaka Shinno arrived at the training cavern early in the morning to spar with Jiraiya.

Whenever he ran out of chakra, he'd pop a soldier pill to recover quickly. If he got injured, he'd patch himself up with medical ninjutsu. Only when the sun had fully set would he finally drag his exhausted body home, using the night to continue his study of the Senju clan's Water Release techniques.

Thanks to his remarkable comprehension skills and learning ability, ...

066 I Became a Jonin

Boom!

A massive explosion of water erupted, obscuring the battlefield in a dense spray.

Yamanaka Shinno was sent flying backward across the water's surface from the force of the countershock. Twisting his waist and swinging an elbow back, he struck a toad that had tried to take advantage of the moment, sending it crashing back into the water. Using the recoil to flip himself upright, his feet skidded across the water, leaving long trails in his wake. Before his body even fully sta...

065 I Became a Jonin

What started as a simple gathering to taste various breakfast dishes for the restaurant's opening eventually turned into a wild celebration among a group of young shinobi.

Uchiha Mikoto, and Honoka teamed up with Kushina to take down Tsunade in a drinking contest. By late afternoon, they had all said their goodbyes and left.

Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Aburame Shibi kept drinking well past 8 p.m., getting so drunk they passed out. In the end, their wives ha...

064 I Became a Jonin

The gathering that Yamanaka Shinno hosted ended up being much bigger than he had originally expected.

Aside from the usual trio of Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and Yamanaka Inoichi, along with their wives, Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Honoka also showed up. And they didn't come alone—they brought along Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, and Nohara Rin, all eager to eat and drink their fill.

Of course, according to them, this was their way of showing gratitude for Shinno's help the pr...

063 I Became a Jonin

A towering pile of scrolls and ancient texts filled nearly half the study, creating an awe-inspiring sight at a glance.

The Water Release scrolls Tsunade brought back this time didn't just contain the techniques created by Senju Tobirama.

There were also numerous early Water Release training manuals passed down through the Senju clan, along with countless records of past insights, notes on jutsu development, and even some spontaneous ideas jotted down by predecessors.

All of...

062 I Became a Jonin

"Sensei~! (✧◡✧)"

Kurenai Yuhi's big eyes sparkled with excitement.

She didn't say anything, but her expression said it all.

She wanted to learn this!

She really wanted to learn this!

Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ...Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ

Might Guy and Shiranui Genma took an instinctive step back when they saw Kurenai's expression.

She looked almost... unfamiliar, even a little terrifying!

Dear lord!

Sensei, you can't t...

061 I Became a Jonin

Who the hell is going to sympathize with me if I'm the one sympathizing with Tsunade?!

Yamanaka Shinno watched as Tsunade casually kicked off her heels, walked barefoot to the fridge, grabbed a bottle of sake, and took a sip—all while urging his shadow clone to hurry up and cook. He stared in disbelief.

Was this really his house?

Why was Tsunade sitting at his dining table, barking out orders like she owned the place?

His shadow clone glanced at the real Shinno, utte...

120 Naruto: Yagura Karatachi

The spark ignited by the death of the Third Kazekage had been burning since January of this year.

By April, the Fourth Kazekage and the Third Tsuchikage had pinned the blame on Konoha.

Now, half a year had passed. The words "Shinobi World War" loomed over everyone, yet the war itself had yet to begin.

Why hadn't it broken out yet?

Because the situation was still uncertain.

Some players had yet to make their moves, and the strategists were hesitant.

Moreover...

119 Naruto: Yagura Karatachi

The midday sun pierced through the clouds, casting its warm and glaring light upon the land.

Today, for once, the Village Hidden in the Mist was not shrouded in its usual thick fog.

"Ao, we're heading back."

Yagura brushed off his sleeves and strode past Ao, making his way toward the cemetery's exit.

"Yes!"

Ao snapped back to reality, quickly stepping forward to catch up. Realizing his mistake, he hurriedly corrected himself, adding the proper honorific: "Mizukag...

154 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

A secluded courtyard in Konohagakure—this was the small residence that Root had arranged for Jiraiya.

"Hahaha! You lost!"

As they approached the entrance, Jiraiya's hearty laughter echoed through the courtyard, accompanied by the playful giggles of women.

Kabuto knocked on the door, and before long, it was opened.

Jiraiya, his face slightly flushed from intoxication, brightened when he saw the visitor.

"Ah, Elder Danzo!"

Following Jiraiya inside, they ste...

153 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Under the full moon at midnight, its silver light shone especially bright over the dense forest near the Hokage Rock in Konoha.

A group of kids darted through the shadows of the trees, their figures illuminated by the moonlight.

"You guys are lying. There's no way there's a grave up there! I've played here plenty of times before."

"It's real. You can only see the Root's ritual on this specific night," Sasuke declared with certainty, his young face filled with conviction—an...

337 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

A month later…

Uchiha Mirai emerged from his secluded training and, in a flash, appeared high above Konohagakure.

His entire aura was completely restrained, making him seem no different from an ordinary person.

This was proof that he had fully mastered the immense power he had gained in such a short period.

"From now on, until Momoshiki and the others descend upon the ninja world, all I need to do is keep strengthening myself."

Mirai murmured t...

336 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

With a low shout from Mirai, the immense power of his Rinnegan surged forth. Under its overwhelming ocular might, the Ten-Tails had no chance to resist—it was directly sealed within his body.

The moment he absorbed the Ten-Tails, Mirai could feel an explosive surge in his power, a transformation unlike anything he had experienced before.

Inside his spiritual world, the Ten-Tails roared furiously, attempting to crush his will with brute force. However, despite its monstrous stren...

196 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

Hanzō of the Salamander had absolute confidence in his poison. Now that Jiraiya had been exposed to it, even if it didn't take his life immediately, it would severely weaken him.

His poison was incurable. Even he had no antidote for it.

In other words, once poisoned, the best-case scenario was losing half your life.

He was called the "Demi-God of the Shinobi World" because others feared his poison. No one had ever found a way to neutralize it, which solidified his reputatio...
