017 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

A crucial piece of information was quickly relayed back to Konoha through a summoning beast.

The Third Raikage was dead.

The very same Raikage who never even considered Konoha a real threat had perished after pillaging the Land of Wind. On his way back, he was surrounded by Iwa-nin and ultimately fell in battle, exhausted.

This unexpected event left Konoha's leadership momentarily stunned.

The Raikage—who had been provoking Konoha's dominance for years—was just… ...

016 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

A vast valley, located at the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning, echoed with deafening explosions.

Both sides of the valley were sealed off by massive boulders. The entire mountainous terrain had been reshaped by Iwa-nin using Earth Release, reducing Lightning Release's advantage and making it an ideal battlefield for their own jutsu.

On the ridges flanking the valley, numerous Iwa-nin stood in formation, their eyes locked onto the war-torn battlefield bel...

015 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Over the past couple of days, Danzo had gained a rough understanding of the system's reward mechanics.

According to the information in his mind, the system's rewards did not directly grant strength. Instead, after gaining the recognition of key figures in the story, he could copy their hidden abilities—essentially, their talents—without affecting them in any way.

While this type of reward increased his potential, true growth still required effort, step by step. After all, tale...

014 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Kumogakure had declared war on Konohagakure.

The official reason? Konoha had allegedly murdered Kumogakure's diplomatic envoy. News of the declaration spread like wildfire across the entire shinobi world.

The Land of Lightning immediately sealed its borders. All foreign merchants and travelers were detained. Though their lives were spared, their possessions were confiscated under the pretext of wartime requisitioning.

At the same time, the borders of the Land of Fire were sw...

013 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

At this moment, Danzo's real body was concealed atop a towering tree, watching an unfolding scene of heroism.

This was the very moment from the original story—when Uzumaki Kushina was abducted.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

(T/N: Oriole is a small icterid blackbird)

Just as they were about to leave Konoha's territory, the three Kumogakure shinobi relaxed their vigilance. That was the moment Namikaze Minato, who had been silent...

012 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Over the past two months, Sunagakure's search for the Third Kazekage had grown increasingly reckless.

Not only were their ninjas scouring the neighboring lands of Kusagakure, Amegakure, and Tanigakure, but even within the Land of Fire itself, Suna shinobi had been spotted. Their blatant disregard for secrecy had begun to seriously undermine the "Border Treaty" signed between the major villages.

At the same time, the intelligence networks of the great villages were becoming increas...

011 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

The Five Great Shinobi Villages remained unusually peaceful—aside from the usual espionage, even minor skirmishes had become rare. A large part of this could be attributed to Danzo no longer stirring up trouble.

Following his directives, Root shifted its focus over the past two years. Rather than provoking conflicts, they concentrated on expanding their ranks and developing their commercial network. Orphans with ninja pot...

010 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Deep within the headquarters of Root, in a vast research lab, more than a dozen researchers were busily assisting Orochimaru in his experiments.

With a nearly unlimited supply of funding and manpower, Orochimaru was consumed by his relentless pursuit of the truth behind life itself.

Boom...!

A massive glass containment tank suddenly exploded, and from within came an inhuman shriek.

"..."

"Test Subject No. 16 is rampaging!"

The surrounding researche...

009 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

For three consecutive nights, Danzo personally reinforced the genjutsu and psychological suggestions he had implanted.

The Sharingan left behind by Uchiha Kagami, while not a Mangekyō, far surpassed an ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan. Controlling someone as weak-willed as this was proving remarkably easy.

Once the plan was set in motion, he assigned a genjutsu specialist to ensure the illusion remained intact. With continuous reinforcement over the next few months, even if the gen...

008 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Everything had been progressing smoothly.

That was until the latest news from the capital of the Land of Fire shattered Danzo's good mood.

After the warehouse was burned down last time, Danzo had dispatched two more Jonin, posing as hired mercenaries, to oversee operations at the merchant association's headquarters.

But their presence failed to deter the hidden enemies.

The merchant association's transport convoys had suffered multiple attacks, and several shops in the...

007 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed, and it was now the 40th year of Konohagakure.

At the Root training ground...

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

Danzo swiftly formed hand seals, unleashing a sharp blade of wind that shattered the wall blocking his view. His eyes darted left and right, remaining cautious of his surroundings.

"Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique..."

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet..."

A sudden surge of chakra erupte...

006 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

At the very heart of Konohagakure, within the Hokage's Office, Danzo found himself summoned by the Third Hokage for the first time.

[ Ding... Please obtain the recognition of the key storyline character, Hiruzen Sarutobi. ]

Before him sat Hiruzen Sarutobi, pipe in hand. Age spots had begun to appear on his face, and the signs of aging were undeniable. Seated beside him were the two advisory elders, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado. However, it was evident that t...

005 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Over the past few days, Danzo had been refining the ninja philosophy he planned to instill, drawing from his past life's memories and countless experiences from various media.

This path was anything but easy, and results wouldn't come quickly.

Fortunately, he had arrived in this world early enough—before the worst deeds had been committed, before most key figures of the story had even been born. There was still time.

Aside from training, he spent his days trying to recall ...

004 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

"Boom!"

A mud wall shattered instantly, torn apart by a swirling blue chakra sphere.

Danzo swiftly leaped backward, avoiding the collapsing debris. Slightly out of breath, he looked at the crumbling Earth Release barrier and allowed a faint smile to form on his face.

Over the past few days, he had successfully mastered the Rasengan—this seal-less technique—using his knowledge from the anime.

Though the Rasengan's destructive power was not quite on par with his Vacu...

003 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

It felt as if Konoha had entered its rainy season, with endless drizzles soaking the village.

Now that he had fully adapted to this body, his training progress had begun to slow.

Frustration simmered in Danzo's heart as he finished his daily routine. Today, for the first time, he left the Root headquarters, accompanied by two Root ninjas, heading towards the village center.

"Dismissed."

"Yes." The two masked figures vanished in an instant, melting into the shadows near...

002 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed. Within the headquarters of Root, Danzo, much like his past self, remained reclusive and rarely ventured out.

As a precaution, the personnel responsible for his daily needs had been reassigned to a Root training base outside the village. In their place, newly promoted Root members took over their duties.

During these days, aside from familiarizing himself with his chakra and the memories in his mind, Danzo had gradually pieced ...

001 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

A dimly lit corridor stretched into a vast, shadowy chamber. At its center, on a raised platform, sat a stone chair—solemn and imposing. Flickering candlelight cast ghostly shadows on the walls, offering only a hazy glimpse of the surroundings.

Seated in that chair was a man, his right hand and the right side of his face wrapped in bandages, as still as a statue. The only visible eye reflected a storm of emotions—confusion, shock, fear, and disbelief.

Right now, Leon was strug...

170 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

The most embarrassing aspect of this jutsu is that future generations of internet users mockingly referred to it as the "Wood Release: Three-Bedroom Apartment Technique."

Kakuzu had no intention of recreating such a meme-worthy moment, so he modified the technique slightly. The final result—

"AAAAAAAHHHH!!"

"You bastard! How do you know Wood Release?!"

It wasn't just that wooden spikes were piercing his flesh—the real issue was that his chakra was being drained at ...

169 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

"B! Snap out of it! Don't let that thing control you!" A's fists were clenched tightly, veins bulging on his arms. If the Eight-Tails lost control here, things would become a real mess.

Wrapped in a crimson cloak, Killer B slowly straightened his posture.

"Big Bro, it's fine. Me and the Eight-Tails are tight now. We've been working together and developed a brand-new state. Let me test it out."

A wanted to say more, but a large hand suddenly blocked his path. It was Kakuzu. 2025-02-19 06:08:01 +0000 UTC View Post

168 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

"Kakuzu-san, I didn't expect to run into you here... What an honor. On behalf of Kumogakure and the Yotsuki Clan, I greet you with respect..."

The rough and straightforward warrior wasn't skilled with words, but at this moment, he racked his brain to come up with a plausible reason for their presence. However, behind him—

"Something inside you stirs, yearning to learn the ways of rap—since you—"

Smack!

A's forehead veins bulged in frustration. He turned ...

167 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

The newer generation always replaces the old—the waves of time wash over everything.

Throughout the years, the shinobi world has seen countless talents emerge. And now, Kakuzu could confidently say that someone was about to surpass both Madara and Hashirama.

The first bounty on the list: Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Identity: Hokage of the Land of Fire
Age: 33
Bounty: 1,690,000,000 ryo

The amount made Kakuz...

134 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

Just thinking about spending the night with Tsunade had Jiraiya excited.

Finally, he could tell her the story about the old man and the wheelbarrow.

"Sensei, I'll always put the safety and stability of the village first. If anyone ever threatens that, no matter how close they are to me, I won't hesitate to cut them down."

Jiraiya solemnly promised Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen nodded, reassured by Jiraiya's words. With that, Jiraiya left the Hokage's office.

As soon ...

133 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

If he revealed Danzo's assassination attempt to Hiruzen Sarutobi and later killed Danzo, Sarutobi would surely suspect him.

And if Sarutobi learned about Danzo's actions, he would undoubtedly try to persuade him to forgive Danzo with his usual moralizing speeches.

Jiraiya had no interest in listening to those words.

He wasn't a saint. If someone wanted him dead, he would kill them first.

"Sensei, the border fortresses are nearly complete. I want to keep contributing to...

273 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

Senju Tobirama nodded in understanding. He could comprehend Uchiha Akira's reasoning.

At this stage, Akira's personal experience couldn't serve as a reliable reference—his situation was simply too unique, vastly different from anyone else's.

"So, how is it? Has anyone managed to sense the energy of the Earth itself?" Akira asked with concern.

Upon hearing his question, the group attempting to sense the energy all shook their heads.

"If this discovery hadn't come from...

272 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

This brand-new Sage Mode was incredibly powerful, but its training was extremely difficult. It required mastering the fusion of four different types of energy to create a completely new form of senjutsu power.

Planetary energy, natural energy, the ninja's physical energy, and spiritual energy—all four had to be blended in a precise 1:1:1:1 ratio to form this new sage power.

The ratio itself wasn't hard to determine. The real challenge lay in fully controlling the planetary energ...

275 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

"Lord Mirai, how should I address you from now on?"

Kisame Hoshigaki looked at Uchiha Mirai and asked in a deep voice.

Since he had already decided to submit, he needed to adopt the appropriate attitude.

Mirai, however, didn't particularly care about such formalities.

He glanced at Kisame and said lightly, "Call me whatever you like."

"You're a ninja of Kirigakure. From now on, you'll serve Kirigakure."

Upon hearing this, Kisame nodded. "Understood, Lord Mi...

274 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Hearing Samehada let out a satisfied burp, Kisame froze in place, momentarily at a loss.

Ever since he had obtained Samehada, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

People called him the "Tailed Beast without a Tail" because his chakra reserves had reached a monstrous level.

When he first got Samehada, he had tested its abilities.

The result? His chakra had been completely devoured in no time.

Yet now, Samehada was so full that it had lost t...

256 Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito

Obito nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, someone nearby was racking their brain for a fitting quote.

"Yeah, yeah, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn."

"A true man knows when to bend and when to stand tall... uh, wait, can a 'little brother' be both big and small?"

[Is that really how the saying goes? Something feels off...]

His reservoir of proverbs ran dry after just two attempts.

Obito gave up, coughed twice, and said, "...

255 Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito

The atmosphere in Konoha was filled with joy and celebration.

In stark contrast, the mood among the allied forces of the three villages was one of despair and sorrow.

Within Konoha's Ranks

Thanks to some "accidental" spreading of information by those in the know, everyone was now aware of what had happened.

"This is great! We don't have to go to war!"

"I ain't afraid of dying, but I got two kids to take care of!"

"Who isn't? I've got four o...

254 Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito

The rustling of towering pine trees filled the air, casting long shadows as they swayed.

A figure, like a streak of blue lightning, suddenly dropped from the treetops.

Raikage's eyes burned red with fury, locked onto his target with an unyielding gaze.

The man before him—his hands stained with the blood of countless Kumogakure shinobi—was the butcher responsible for slaughtering thousands.

He had to die.

With a sudden burst of speed, Raikage flickered behind ...
