192 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

"Don't be overly optimistic. The chances of a full-scale war breaking out between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire are low—especially now that the Land of Wind has lost its Tailed Beast. They don't have the confidence to engage in an all-out war against the Land of Fire. Right now, the only Kage-level ninja they have is the Kazekage, while the Land of Fire has both Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi. They wouldn't dare to start a full-scale conflict."

"Besides, the other nations won't ...

191 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

Hanzo of the Salamander was in a heavy mood.

He had just witnessed Jiraiya effortlessly defeat the Tailed Beast, and the pressure he felt was immense.

Hanzo was well aware of how terrifying Tailed Beasts were. Although Amegakure did not possess one, their records on these creatures were extensive. Every Tailed Beast contained an unfathomable amount of power—enough to raze entire cities and slaughter thousands of shinobi with ease.

Owning a Tailed Beast had long been Hanzo'...

015 I Became a Jonin

In the dense forest less than five kilometers from the town, Pakura dispelled her Transformation Jutsu, gripping a kunai in each hand.

Crouching slightly, she glared at the dozen Kirigakure shinobi before her, murderous intent radiating from her gaze.

Two blazing spheres of Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder hovered at her sides, their intense heat nullifying much of the effectiveness of the Hidden Mist Jutsu shrouding the area.

At her feet lay the shriveled corpse of...

014 I Became a Jonin

After spending enough time at sea, even the most breathtaking ocean views start to feel monotonous.

For the first day, Shinno and Namikaze Minato had eagerly taken in the open waters, but their enthusiasm faded soon after. The rest of the journey was spent either discussing the progress of their newly taken-on students or exchanging insights on ninjutsu.

Occasionally, they sparred, testing techniques and strategies against one another.

Minato truly was a genius in every sens...

013 I Became a Jonin

After Shimura Danzō was rushed away for emergency treatment, the Hokage's office returned to its usual quiet.

Standing by the window, Hiruzen Sarutobi gazed at the setting sun, packing fresh tobacco into his nearly burnt-out pipe. Smoke curled into the air, obscuring his expression.

Danzō's words had struck a nerve.

The Land of Whirlpools was gone.

And Konoha had lost its most stable source of jinchūriki candidates.

If something were to happen to Uzumaki Kushi...

012 I Became a Jonin

Shimura Danzo?

His head was wrapped up like a mummy, leaving only his eyes and mouth exposed. Dressed in a patient's gown yet wearing a samurai helmet, his entire being radiated such a thick aura of resentment that it felt almost tangible...

It had to be Shimura Danzo!

Yamanaka Shinno's eyes flashed with surprise, momentarily hesitating as if he couldn't recognize him.

He honestly hadn't expected that in just a single day, the black curse had turned Da...

011 I Became a Jonin

Yamanaka Shinno was completely unaware of the chaos within Root or Danzo Shimura's furious outburst.

After spending the entire day organizing the information in his mind, he noticed the sun was beginning to set. Kurenai Yuhi, Might Guy, and Genma Shiranui had finally reached the point where they could barely maintain their footing on water while under the sealing restriction.

Satisfied with their progress, he called out to them and led the exhausted trio back to Konoha.

Once...

010 I Became a Jonin

Nara Shikaku had no doubts about Yamanaka Shinno's political acumen.

After a brief exchange, Shikaku pulled out a D-rank mission scroll he had prepared in advance.

"Cleaning up debris in the river basin?"

Shinno looked over the mission details and, after a moment of consideration, did not refuse. Compared to D-rank missions like hunting wild boars or driving away beasts, river cleanup was time-consuming and physically demanding. However, the reward was correspondingly higher...

009 I Became a Jonin

Kushina's suspicions were confirmed.

Realizing that it was Yamanaka Shinno who had stood up for her, she took a while to calm down before her tears finally stopped.

Satisfied, she hugged her knees and curled up in the corner of the couch.

Maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe the emotional rollercoaster had left her drained—either way, as her feelings settled, drowsiness quickly crept in.

"I'll go heat up some bathwater. You should sleep in the guest room later," Shinno...

008 I Became a Jonin

"Hey, hey! What's with that look of disgust and disdain?!"

Reeking of alcohol, Kushina dropped her arms from where she had been crossing them over her chest, clearly dissatisfied.

Sure, she was usually a bit rough around the edges, but come on! She had the looks, she had the figure—she was a proper beauty, alright!

Did he really have to make that face?

"How much did you drink?"

Ignoring Kushina's protests, Yamanaka Shinno swept his gaze across the living room, ...

007 I Became a Jonin

For a transmigrator, having foreknowledge of the story is the greatest advantage.

And if one can remember key details of the plot, they can easily obtain things that ordinary people could struggle decades for and still fail to achieve!

Shinno had been in the world of Naruto for nineteen years now.

Right after transmigrating, he had recorded as much of the storyline as he could remember, using sketches and phonetic notes.

Even now, he still occasionally went through the...

006 I Became a Jonin

The food at Sanmaiya was even more delicious than Kurenai Yuhi, Might Guy, and Genma Shiranui had imagined.

And when they found out that Yamanaka Shinno actually owned a 40% share of the restaurant—not only allowing him to eat for free but also earning him a significant dividend every month—the three of them wasted no time in stuffing themselves to their heart's content.

Even Kurenai, the most refined among them, ended up eating so much that she could barely sit up straight. S...

005 I Became a Jonin

Since genjutsu was her primary field of study, Kurenai Yuhi had a far deeper understanding of it than Might Guy or Genma Shiranui.

And the more she understood, the more she realized just how terrifyingly powerful the illusion Shinno Yamanaka had just cast truly was.

Using a faint, unique fragrance to ensnare his targets without them even realizing it, he had seamlessly pulled them into a genjutsu that manipulated their senses. Within a single breath, he had interfered with their s...

004 I Became a Jonin

"...I've told you so many times before—the title of 'Ino-Shika-Cho' is only inherited by the main family line."

(T/N: In Japanese, Ino means wild boar.)

Yamanaka Shinno looked at Uzumaki Kushina with an exasperated expression.

'Piggy'—what kind of ridiculous nickname was that?

He was a full-grown man, male through and through, with a clear preference for women. He wasn't part of the Yamanaka Clan's main lineage, nor was he some boar-riding war...

003 I Became a Jonin

The streets of Konoha near noon were lively as ever, bathed in warm sunlight with a steady stream of pedestrians coming and going.

Yamanaka Shinno strolled along, nibbling on a red bean chestnut yokan he had bought, making his way toward the Jonin standby station. His gaze occasionally swept over the merchants, civilians, and shinobi passing by.

Ordinary villagers rarely had any labels above their heads. Even when they did, they were mostly white or green, nothing particularly use...

002 I Became a Jonin

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the White-tier trait 'Burrower,' the Black-tier trait 'Open-Minded,' and the Purple-tier trait 'Call It Out!']

Burrower (White): Enhances stealth effects and movement speed in specific covert actions, but significantly reduces personal presence and charisma.

Open-Minded (Black): Greatly increases the likelihood of suffering head injuries, significantly decreases skull durability and recovery spe...

The synopsis: After spending nineteen years in the Naruto world and surviving the Second Great Ninja War, the protagonist sees the Third Great Ninja War looming on the horizon. Finally, the system activates.

The autumn afternoon sun cast its warm glow upon the Hokage Tower, gilding the aged structure with a golden hue.

Inside the Hokage's office, ...

226 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

"Hinata-chan, this is a chakra test paper. Use your index and middle fingers to hold it—yes, just like that." Hozuki Suigetsu, who had recently entered the Academy, grinned, his sharp shark-like tooth showing as he demonstrated how to use the test paper.

"Alright, now focus your chakra, gather all of its energy between your fingers, and in a moment, you'll see something interesting happen," explained Haku, Suigetsu's classmate. He observed Hinata attentively before closing his eyes an...

225 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

"Otousan, Otousan." It was a peculiar way of addressing someone—one that evoked a unique feeling upon hearing it.

"Lord Kakuzu, your daughter is calling for you again." Ni gently cradled young Hinata in her arms as she approached Kakuzu, smiling as she spoke.

Kakuzu could only sigh in resignation.

When Hinata was first brought here, she had been just over three years old—nearing four. That was the age when a child's memories truly began to take shape. As she grew older, ...

224 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

"No! Those people from Kumogakure just want us to pay with our lives! If that's the case, then take mine! My branch family has plenty of people—take as many as you want! But I will never hand over my daughter!"

For the usually strict Hyuga Hiashi, this was completely out of character. No matter what, he refused to surrender his daughter. However, someone was bound to try and change his mind.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. "Hiashi, you don't want war, do you? The Third Great Ninja War ...

223 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

Kakuzu was a well-known figure in the shinobi world. He hadn't made any effort to conceal his movements this time, so news of his presence quickly spread. Coincidentally, this stretch of sea was very close to the Land of the Moon, which meant both the Hokage and the Raikage had shown up.

"They harbored ill intentions and got themselves killed by Konoha. If they were weaker, who can they blame?"

The Fourth Raikage, A, felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing this.

"Back in the day...
