Karatachi Yagura was an only child. His father was a Jonin of Kirigakure, and his mother a Chunin. Over the years, both of them had been frequently away on missions, leaving the house mostly empty.
As a result, only Yagura and his grandfather lived at home.
His grandfather had also been a Jonin in the past but had retired once he reached an advanced age.
One thing the Third Mizukage had done well was allowing shinobi to apply for retirement after turning fifty—though wheth...

Picking up the history book, he flipped through it again and again.
Unbeknownst to him, as he read, only half of the setting sun remained over the western sea.

Karatachi Yagura stretched, feeling a bit drowsy. "Ah~ Immersing myself in studying is such a joy."
"It's getting late. Time to head back. If I don't, Grandpa's going to scold me again~"

From the end of the First Shinobi World War until now, the Third Mizukage has been in power for decades.
Just like how Onoki succeeded the Second Tsuchikage after his death and has remained in power for an exceptionally long time, the Third Mizukage is also among the longest-serving Kage in the ninja world.
But there is one key difference between him and Onoki—his age!
The Third Mizukage is an entire generation older than Onoki!
Karatachi Yagura recalled that during ...

Kakuzu looked at the Raikage, feeling a bit speechless.

The Third Raikage waved his hand with authority. "Fleeing in the face o...

When he saw Kakuzu again, Yotsuki A felt something had changed about him. He couldn't pinpoint exactly what, but there was a difference. Perhaps it was his aura—once exuding sheer dominance and aggression, now more reserved, making him even harder to read.

For the past year, the Land of Dragons had remained peaceful. However, the rest of the shinobi world was anything but tranquil. The Third Shinobi World War was still raging.
Sunagakure and Konohagakure clashed at Kikyō Pass, with neither side able to gain a decisive advantage. Under mounting pressure, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was forced to dispatch his prized disciple, Orochimaru, to take command of the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Kirigakure's assassination squads against ...

Thick, purple mist spread rapidly. Without the barrier to contain it, the toxic fog expanded outward in an instant.
"Poison."
Seeing the dense mist unfurl, Jiraiya's brows furrowed, and he quickly retreated.

Whether or not Jiraiya became Hokage, his sheer talent alone was reason enough to build ties with him. Even if he never ascended to the position, his overwhelming strength would undoubtedly grant him considerable influence over Konoha.

Deep beneath the Kingdom of Rōran, Danzo stared at the raging chakra before him and his arm, which had begun to turn to wood.
"A fusion of chakra and natural energy?"
The arm that had been turning into wood gradually regained its flesh, from the shoulder down to the fingertips. Once it had fully returned to normal, he turned his gaze back to the massive chakra source that formed the Ryūmyaku.
He could feel it. His body craved this power, longed for it.

However, Minato himself had suffered severe injuries and fallen into a coma.

Five C4-level clay bombs detonated simultaneously, their explosions so massive that even people in the ninja world could clearly see them—let alone Deidara, who was on the moon itself.
Luckily, he had the presence of mind to quickly bury himself underground, and since he was positioned at a relatively safe distance, he barely managed to avoid the shockwave.
Otherwise, he would have been dead for sure.

Shocked!
When Deidara and Guy arrived on the moon aboard the clay warship, they initially assumed their opponent would be Moryo. However, halfway through their journey, they encountered a white snake.
At first, they thought the enemy had changed to the White Snake Sage. But upon landing, they were instead met with a "darkened" Uchiha Madara.
And he really had darkened—absorbing Moryo's power, his Susanoo had turned black.
Oh, wait. That wasn't quite right.

Through the Ten Tails, the Rinnegan, and Black Zetsu, Mōryō had successfully established a connection with Kaguya. However, since Kaguya was still sealed away, he could only absorb her power unilaterally while she, trapped, was unable to resist.

Kaguya, on the other hand, was tempted to claim the Chakra Fruit for herself. However, one glance at the three people beside her made her reconsider.

Although nominally part of the Land of Wind, Rōran operates independently, maintaining its own political system.
