Off the coast of the Land of Waves, there was a secret base built by Obito, meant to house Kimimaro, Sasuke, and Uzumaki Yusuke. The purpose? To lure out Orochimaru.
Of course, Obito had no idea that Uzumaki Yusuke was Orochimaru.
Guided by Orochimaru's instructions, Deidara and Jiraiya soon arrived at the underwater base.
"Building a secret base in a place like this... that's some serious stealth," Jiraiya remarked.
Though it wasn't located in the deep s...

"Alright, everyone, let's proceed according to plan!" Nagato declared.
Now that he had officially become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki and reached the level of the Sage of Six Paths, his appearance had undergone significant changes.
For instance, he had grown horns, the Truth-Seeking Orbs hovered behind him, and his body was now covered in scales. He even wielded the iconic Six Paths Staff.
Clearly, the Sage of Six Paths had left some kind of hidden mechanism within the Ten-Tail...

Leisurely days never last long.
Before long, the Akatsuki received word that the immortal army of Moryo from the Land of Demons had reappeared.
Although everyone had already learned the truth about the ninja world from Jiraiya, the reality of this moment still filled them with tension.
After all, their next opponents were no longer human—they were gods.
"Let's begin," Nagato said.
Deidara and the others were currently in the underground secret base of Amegakure...

With that, the Akatsuki's spoils-sharing… or rather, reward distribution gathering officially came to an end. In the end, Itachi and Kisame took nothing.
Neither of them had much interest in material goods. Their daily routine consisted of training, followed by sitting in a tavern for an entire day, doing nothing in particular.
However, today, Kisame, who was accompanying Itachi, felt a little uneasy.
Before they left, Deidara had casually remarked to him:

Obito nodded and said,
"Alright, I'll go with what you say."
He stood up and slowly walked toward Nagato.
Under Nagato's confused gaze, Obito reached up and brushed aside his bangs.
Looking at the empty socket where Nagato's left eye once was, Obito spoke softly,
"I can help you restore this eye now."
"Do you want that woman's Mangekyō Sharingan, or do you wish to have your own eye back?"
Nagato looked surprised. He raised his head to look at Obito a...

Obito's eyes narrowed as he thought viciously.
A flicker of panic flashed in Setsuna's eyes.
"Cousin, please spare Mayu-kun! If you have any grievances, take them out on me instead!"
Obito looked down at the pleading Setsuna.
Suddenly, he grinned, the coldness on his face melting away.

"While what you're saying makes some sense, it feels like you just want to save money..."
"If we cut costs on the ceremony, we only have to give one gift in return too."
Obito grumbled internally before nodding and replying, "I don't have any objections. We'll go with what the Third Hokage has decided."
Hiruzen nodded in satisfaction and said no more.
Minato, standing nearby, smiled and picked up the conversation.
"That's it, then. There's nothing else to discuss...

The Konoha army marched steadily homeward.
Obito, feeling a little bored, casually glanced around when his eyes caught something that stunned him.
"That's…"
His pupils contracted sharply.
He spotted a tall man in a red robe, wearing a mischievous grin, attempting to slide his hand around the waist of a woman dressed in green.
The very next moment, the woman bent backward in an unbelievable display of agility, dodging his hand.
Using the momentum of her ba...

"The light rising high above Rōran, the waves of emotions in my heart, the Dragon Vein that must be protected..."
A gentle, melancholic song echoed in the air as Mirai slowly opened his eyes.
Looking up, he saw a girl with long, deep red hair sitting atop a pile of abandoned rocks, her face tilted upward as she sang.
Her voice was clear and sorrowful, carrying a deep sense of melancholy.
Seeing this, Mirai stood up and took a few steps toward her.

Upon seeing the Flying Thunder God seal on the scroll, Mirai immediately had a rough idea of what was going on.
The seal still carried traces of his chakra, something no one else could possibly forge.
In other words, this scroll was undoubtedly something he had left behind.
Thinking back to the original timeline, where the Dragon Veins possessed the power to transport Naruto through time—combined with what Salle and Yako had just mentioned—
Everything made sense no...

When Jiraiya entered Sage Mode, Danzo was momentarily shocked but still confident. He thought to himself, Jiraiya hasn't trained in Mount Myoboku for long. Even if he's managed to access Sage Mode, the amount of natural energy he can absorb must be limited. This Sage Mode can't be that powerful.
However, despite the simultaneous attacks from two powerful Dojutsu, Jiraiya seemed unaffected.
Danzo, unaware of the existence of the Eye of Insight, simply assumed it was Sage M...

The moment Jiraiya saw Danzo, he knew—Danzo had already transplanted Hashirama's cells into his body.
But the power of Hashirama's cells was overwhelming. There was no way Danzo could control it with his own strength. He needed the Sharingan to suppress it and make it usable. These two forces had to both counterbalance and merge with each other for Danzo to wield them.
In the original timeline, Danzo had ten Sharingan implanted in his arm, along with mastery of the Uchiha clan's...

Minato Namikaze sat across from Danzo.
"Raikage… he really hasn't changed a bit," Minato said, setting down the intel Danzo had delivered.
Kumogakure had held a high-level meeting, during which the Raikage proposed launching an attack on the Land of Fire while Konohagakure was locked in a standoff with Iwagakure.
However, Kumogakure had yet to fully recover from the Third Shinobi War. Many elders in the village were deeply...

With Konoha stationing 7,000 shinobi at the border, Tsuchikage Ōnoki had no choice but to personally lead the reinforcements.
Although the two sides had entered a military standoff, no casualties had yet been recorded. Until a clear order to engage was given, even if scouting teams from both sides crossed paths, they would quietly retreat to avoid combat.

Mt. Myoboku was like a world of its own, completely out of sync with the outside environment, its surroundings filled with dense natural chakra.
In the place where the chakra was most concentrated stood a grand and towering palace.

At the top sat a massive, ancient toad, its eyes closed as it drifted in a dream.

In just two short years, Shirakawa Town had transformed into the economic hub of the southern Fire Country.
Even the other three trade centers in the south had been greatly affected, with a noticeable drop in trade volume. The town boasted stable tax revenues and a far better security record than any other commercial city in the Fire Country. No aristocrats or other factions dared to impose taxes or exploit merchants, creating a genuinely fair and just trade environment.

A dark figure was kicked back, slamming against the cliff face before sliding down about 20 meters. Using chakra concentrated in his hands, he managed to cling to the cliff and stabilize himself mid-fall.
Sarutobi Hiruzen crouched on the cliffside, panting heavily. His battle-worn uniform was in tatters, stained with blood. He looked utterly defeated. Even Enma, who had transformed into his battle form, had been struck by a Rasengan and returned to the summoning re...

The two main streets near the center were adorned with colorful lanterns, and faint sounds of women's laughter floated through the air. The area was filled with inns, taverns, and dancing girls who entertained late-night revelers. On the outskirts of the town, large warehouses bustled with activity—despite the hour, workers were still unloading and loading goods.
Carriages rolled steadily along the north-south road, givin...

The moment Saburo breathed his last, a rune etched into the wall of Ebizō's room in Sunagakure began to fade. Ebizō slowly opened his half-lidded eyes and sat upright, his fists clenched and his expression tense.
This rune was part of a sensory barrier ninjutsu with a simple purpose: to detect whether its caster was alive or dead. If the caster perished, the rune would vanish along with their life. A bead of cold sweat slid down Ebizō's forehead. The death of Saburo, the Third Kazeka...

Several days later, within a vast underground palace, the air was filled with the sounds of laboring citizens. The echo of lifeless puppets cracking whips across the backs of men reverberated through the space.

Seeing Danzo reveal a Sharingan, Jiraiya wasn't surprised.
That eye was taken during the latter part of the First Shinobi World War when Danzo killed his comrade, Uchiha Kagami, during a retreat.
Isamu froze for a moment upon seeing Danzo's Sharingan. Few outside the highest echelons of Konoha knew Danzo possessed one.
This was a tightly held secret because the Konoha leadership understood the consequences if the Uchiha clan found out. The fallout would be catastrophic.

The wind blade, over a meter long, slashed toward Jiraiya in an instant.
A gust of fierce wind hit Jiraiya's face as he swung his Lightning Flame Blade forward. The crackling lightning encasing the blade shattered the wind blade on contact, but the force slightly slowed Jiraiya's movements.
Danzo didn't waste the opportunity. He drew a specially crafted shuriken infused with Wind-natured chakra, making its edges razor-sharp, and thrust it at Jiraiya's chest.
