293 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Inside the grand tower palace.

Salle and Yako had been summoned by Sara, and for the first time, they stepped into the ruling quarters that symbolized the highest authority in the Land of Roran.

Gazing at the elevated throne, both of them felt a surge of emotion.

"So this is where Her Majesty handles state affairs?" Yako couldn't help but marvel. "It's truly magnificent."

Salle nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of irony.

"Thinking back... we a...

292 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Seeing Mirai's infuriating expression, Hatake Kakashi snorted coldly.

Gripping his short sword tightly, he lunged at Mirai with full force.

However, in just a single exchange, Kakashi was sent flying backward as Mirai's kick landed squarely on his chest.

"Too weak, Kakashi."

"You don't even qualify to be my opponent."

Hearing Mirai's words, Kakashi's expression turned as sour as if he had swallowed something foul.

Since childhood, he had always been seen as...

152 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

With Danzo dead, there was almost no resistance left in his path to becoming Hokage. As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen was willing to step down after the Second Shinobi War, the position would be his.

"Dispose of all the bodies. We need to leave immediately," Jiraiya commanded Isamu and Kakuzu. The battle had caused quite a commotion, and it was likely that other shinobi would come to investigate.

Kakuzu nodded. After extracting the hearts of the Root elite jōnin and standard jōnin, h...

151 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

Danzo's upper body was completely covered in pitch-black sealing scripts. His face twisted with madness.

He believed that Jiraiya, like Hiruzen Sarutobi, was unfit to be the Hokage or to lead Konohagakure. Jiraiya had inherited Sarutobi's unwavering adherence to the Will of Fire, perpetuating the late Hokage's ideals.

While Sarutobi and Jiraiya were undeniably powerful, strength alone didn't make a good leader. Sarutobi clung too tightly to peace, even to the point of sacrificing ...

108 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Hokage Tower Conference Room

Compared to yesterday's relatively amicable atmosphere, today's meeting was weighed down with tension.

"What more is there to say? Kumogakure came with ill intent, and now they have the audacity to demand accountability… Let me lead the Uchiha clan—"

Uchiha Fugaku was the first to break the oppressive silence, rising with a dark expression.

"Fugaku, this is a formal meeting. The Hokage hasn't spoken yet. Do you...

107 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Two years passed quickly, and the Shinobi World remained relatively peaceful.

The only major event was that six months ago, the Raikage—backed by the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning—completely eradicated Kumogakure's Elder Council. This marked the full restoration of the one-village-one-kage system in Kumogakure.

However, the years of internal strife had left the village severely weakened.

Kumogakure, built atop steep cliffs and surrounded by towering mountains, looked a...

186 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

"Lord Kakuzu, the dilution research on the Hero Water is nearly complete. I've removed all impurities, leaving only the beneficial components for the human body."

"However, there's a catch. The so-called impurities and beneficial elements are actually interconnected. By eliminating all impurities, we've ensured it no longer harms the body, but the effectiveness of the Hero Water has also been significantly reduced. Now, drinking it would at best boost one's chakra level to that of an or...

185 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

"Going from 0 to 1 isn't the hardest part. The real challenge is going from 1 to 100. It's a long and arduous journey, much like a person's life. Looking back on our childhood, those years always feel short and filled with joy. But in the end, we must look forward. The road ahead is vast, and the years ahead are long. We must use this life to comprehend the true meaning of our existence—something that is by no means easy. Do you understand what I mean, Kakuzu?"

Deep within Mount Myobo...

184 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

When Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped into the Senju estate and laid eyes on the elderly Uzumaki Mito, now in her sixties, he felt an impending sense of doom.

The first question Mito asked him was: "What does 'Hokage' mean? And what does 'Konoha' mean?"

Hiruzen vividly recalled the origins of these names.

The First Hokage had once said, "Madara, I want you to take over as the leader of the village. Since you're proficient in Fire Release, we shall call this position 'Hokage.'"

183 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

Black Zetsu must have adjusted his battle strategy, otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately led Uchiha Madara to meet him. Madara's Sharingan was still intact, and he had even awakened the Rinnegan. However, Kakuzu wasn't the least bit intimidated.

"Madara, stop putting on an act. If you really have the power, then show it here and now. You could even start the Third Great Ninja War if you want."

"Oh? A mere insect from the past, yet today you dare to speak to me in such a confid...

150 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

Danzo had tracked down Jiraiya's location by ruthlessly overexerting the only Sharingan in his right arm, temporarily granting him heightened sensory perception. This ability, however, lasted for only a few precious seconds before fading completely.

Meanwhile, thick roots erupted from Danzo's right arm, extending outward at an alarming rate. Powerful chakra surged through the roots, growing more intense by the second.

"Let's use Goemon," Jiraiya said grimly as he saw Danzo chargin...

149 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

The wind and sand howled, shrouding the battlefield and drastically lowering visibility.

However, Jiraiya—enhanced by Sage Mode's heightened sensory abilities and his keen insight—was unaffected. Despite the storm of sand, he could still lock onto Danzo's position effortlessly.

Danzo's expression darkened as he tried to peer through the swirling sands, his Sharingan eyes straining to no avail. Jiraiya had vanished from his sight completely.

Danzo knew all too well how te...

291 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

"Oh, right."

Mirai's smile faded as he turned his gaze to Aburame Shibi, who was still standing there, lost in thought.

"Earlier, you mentioned that once Anrokuzan was dealt with, you'd hold me accountable for impersonating a Konoha shinobi?"

At those words, Aburame Shibi swallowed hard.

For the first time, he wasn't ignored, yet he couldn't find any joy in it.

Big guy, you never said you were this strong!

If I had known you could take down a monster like A...

290 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Without waiting for Mirai's response, Minato Namikaze charged directly toward Anrokuzan.

Sara quickly closed her eyes, sensing the source of the Dragon Vein before dashing away.

"Courting death!"

Anrokuzan manipulated his massive body and launched an attack at Minato.

Like a streak of golden lightning, Minato flickered through the battlefield, weaving effortlessly between the onslaught of attacks.

He struck Anrokuzan's body with Rasengan multiple times, but the b...

106 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Ikawa Kamimi slowly made her way to the deepest part of the Root base once again.

To be honest, she didn't want to be here. It wasn't just the oppressive atmosphere—it was also because that woman was here.

The night of the Nine-Tails rampage, Kamimi had witnessed that woman unleash an S-rank jutsu. The mere memory of the woman's hostility made Kamimi's will to resist dissolve, replaced only with fear and a desperate urge to flee.

The stone chamber seemed darker than ever. ...

105 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Two months drifted by.

In the depths of a massive underground laboratory, sounds of astonishment echoed through the space.

"Lord Danzo, this is incredible... a creation worthy of the gods!"

"This... this is the perfection I've been seeking."

Using the black matter produced by Yin-Yang Release, a flawless body had been crafted. Even the normally conflicting forces of Wood Release and Uchiha bloodline powers merged harmoniously under its influence.

104 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

At the Root headquarters, Danzo sat slumped in his stone chair. The once-imposing leader now exuded an air of decay, his presence weighed down by a sense of impending demise. His arm supported his head, as if he could fade away at any moment.

"..."

"The Fire Country's capital has sent an envoy to the Land of Lightning..."

"A number of unidentified shinobi have appeared in the Land of Grass..."

"...Twenty-three suspicious individuals have entered Konoha..."

103 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

"Lord Danzo..." Several dark figures arrived at Training Ground No. 3.

The area was completely unrecognizable, reduced to a massive crater as if everything had been swallowed whole.

At the bottom of the crater, Danzo slowly stood up, supporting his body.

His face was aged, his right eye pale and blind...

Yet, the limb that had been severed was now fully restored.

"Who did this? Let me—" Pakura's eyes flashed with anger and unease.

"I'm fine, Pakura..." Da...

102 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Danzo, pinned against the tree, was in complete disarray.

The black substance within him flowed like a living entity, greedily absorbing his chakra and life force. The two black rods impaling his chest not only restricted his movements but also threw his chakra into chaos. His lungs had been pierced, making even breathing difficult.

"This time, I've really lost..." Danzo muttered, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth as he stared at the figure before him—Obito. No... Bla...

101 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Danzo turned his head to look at the figure of Black Zetsu standing before him.

From the point where he had been stabbed, his entire body began to rapidly undergo petrification, turning into wood at an alarming speed.

"Sealing Jutsu!"

Sealing runes spread outward with the Wood Clone as the center, forming a seal that encompassed everything within a five-meter radius.

"...It worked..."

Seeing Black Zetsu visibly restricted in his movements, Danzo felt a surge of s...

272 Naruto: Transmigrated as Obit

Konoha.
Inside Rin's home.

The warm sunlight streamed through the window, casting a golden glow over the sleeping girl's delicate figure. At this moment, Rin looked as if she were draped in a robe woven from sunlight.

Outside, gentle waves rippled under the morning light, creating a picturesque scene.

"Rin-chan…" Obito murmured softly.

Lying beside her, he gazed at his sleeping lover, a blissful smile playing at his lips....

271 Naruto: Transmigrated as Obit

Outside Kirigakure.

On a small island surrounded by the sea on all sides.

The three Uchiha ninjas sat on the ground, enjoying a hotpot while chatting. The atmosphere was relaxed and carefree.

The sea breeze brushed against their faces, and the sunlight shone warmly upon them, bringing faint smiles to their lips.

But as Obito finished recounting his recent encounters with all sorts of bizarre, supernatural events, the smiles on Shisui and Itachi's faces...

270 Naruto: Transmigrated as Obit

Konohagakure.

On the way to a secluded grove, leading a young boy along, Obito caught the attention of many passing shinobi.

"Obito-sama!"

"Obito-sama, I want to have your children!"

(Sarutobi Hiruzen: ???)

"Obito-sama, you're looking full of energy today!"

Obito, ever easygoing, responded with a smile, greeting each one in turn.

"Good morning, miss."

"Sorry, I'm not into overly muscular guys."

"You too! You're looking mig...

269 Naruto: Transmigrated as Obit

Madara reminisced about an old, long-buried memory, muttering to himself.

"The principle behind awakening the Sharingan lies in extreme emotional fluctuations, which stimulate the brain to produce a special kind of chakra. This chakra then acts on the optic nerves, altering the state of the eyes."

"If I remember correctly, those fluctuations originate in the frontal lobe, transmitting to the cortical areas on either side of the calcarine fissure in the occipital lobe..."

033 Volume III The Strongest Artist in Naruto

Land of Demons.

Mōryō suddenly turned his head toward the sea beyond the Land of Lightning—there, he sensed the presence of a divine battle.

So, was that wretched Eight-Headed Serpent in trouble?

He decided to go see for himself. After all, it had taken considerable effort to covertly bring that pawn into play—he couldn't afford any mishaps.

But just as he reached the gates of the Land of Demons, a red-haired man in a black cloak adorned with red...

032 Volume III The Strongest Artist in Naruto

A menacing dragon spiraled through the sky, while an unfathomable beast lurked beneath the waves. For the first time, the Eight-Headed Serpent felt the presence of death looming over it.

Orochimaru was right—its power was no longer what it used to be. While it still retained strength on the level of the Six Paths, it was barely holding on.

Deidara estimated that if an Edo Tensei-revived Hashirama were summoned, he might be able to take the beast down single-handedly.

The k...

"This is my latest masterpiece—C4 Enhanced Leviathan!"

Eight-Headed Serpent—Shock Value +8000

Jiraiya—Shock Value +5000

Orochimaru—Shock Value +3000

Clearly, the sheer presence of this sea beast, whose size could rival the Eight-Headed Serpent, was overwhelming.

"What is this thing?" the Eight-Headed Serpent couldn't help but feel a twinge of fear at the sight of the Leviathan.

It had been traumatiz...

The Eight-Headed Serpent?

"I remember you using the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique, and you also wield the Kusanagi Sword, which is said to be one of the treasures from the body of the legendary serpent," Jiraiya remarked.

Orochimaru nodded without hesitation. "That's right. I happened to come across a shed skin from the Eight-Headed Serpent long ago and managed to harness some of its power."

So he planned to devour the original owner of that power outright? That was so typi...

289 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

"Anrokuzan, was it you who killed my mother?!"

Sara's expression was filled with sorrow.

She had never imagined that the one who took her mother's life would be Anrokuzan.

This hypocrite—heartless and cruel.

Her mother had trusted him so much, and yet he had repaid that trust with such a monstrous act!

Facing Sara's grief-stricken accusation, Anrokuzan smirked coldly.

"She brought it upon herself. She has no one to blame but her own foolishness."

"O...

288 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

"That's right."

It seemed that Yako and Salle had grown bolder upon realizing that Mirai had no intention of making a move.

Salle looked at Sara and said, "Because you know nothing at all, like a puppet being controlled at will. That's why everyone calls you the Puppet Princess."

Hearing this, Sara's expression darkened. She couldn't help but retort, "What gives you the right to say that I know nothing and that I'm being controlled?"

Seeing that Sara was getting upset,...
