"You've all worked hard these past days."
Jiraiya nodded as he spoke.
With the fortress finally completed, he couldn't help but feel satisfied. Once it was fully stocked with supplies, Konoha would be ready to launch an all-out assault on Amegakure. That meant more opportunities for him to earn military merits—far better than just sitting here and waiting for Ame-nin to come knocking.
"Jiraiya-sama, this is nothing compared to what you've done. We've had it easy."

"How foolish. If you had told me you had money stashed elsewhere, I might have spared your life."
After cutting down the jonin wielding a katana, Kakuzu kicked the corpse aside and spoke coldly.
Keeping all your valuables on you?
Utter stupidity.
If he let someone like that live, he would be the real fool.
As he searched the bodies of the two jonin, Kakuzu found several sealing scrolls filled with stacks of ryo.

"Boom!"
A deafening roar echoed across the sky as two colossal Susanoo clashed in midair.
A storm of blue and red chakra erupted like a volcanic explosion, surging toward the heavens.
Blinding light spread in all directions like a tsunami, forming a massive spherical barrier of energy.
The point of impact between the two titans became a zone of utter devastation, where destructive energy poured out wildly.
"Boom! Boom!"
The two towering Susanoo figures soar...

A metallic resonance echoed through the sky as Uchiha Hikari was forcefully pushed back dozens of meters. Her scarlet Sharingan spun instinctively, taking in every detail.
She could sense them—those four unseen entities had appeared again, hovering around Uchiha Madara.
"His dōjutsu's cooldown isn't long, and the interval between activations is short!" Uchiha Hikari's mind raced as she swiftly clasped her hands together.

The Land of Iron.
A narrow forest path.
The recent rainfall had left the uneven road muddy, with puddles scattered throughout.
Two figures clad in black cloaks adorned with red clouds strode along the path. One walked with his hands lazily resting behind his head, his face filled with an air of nonchalance.
The other, however, held a thick book in both hands, his head lowered as he read with intense focus.

"Kara Organization?"
"Otsutsuki Isshiki?"
Upon hearing Mirai's command, everyone present was baffled.
Wasn't Otsutsuki Isshiki already sacrificed by Otsutsuki Kaguya to feed the Divine Tree?
Why would they need to investigate him?
And… what was this Kara Organization?
No one had ever heard of it before.
Seeing their confusion, Mirai explained, "Back then, Otsutsuki Kaguya ambushed Otsutsuki Isshiki and severely wounded him."

Deep within Ryūchi Cave.
Madara frowned slightly, his tone uncertain as he asked,
"Are you saying... Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, Obito?"
Obito nodded, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"That's right, Grandpa Madara. Even though we tore the Ten-Tails apart, there should still be remnants of Kaguya's will within both of us."
Madara's expression changed upon hearing this.
He closed his eyes and carefully sensed his body, but found nothing.

"Oh, Obito..."
Hearing his grandson's sincere and heartfelt words, Madara's body trembled involuntarily.
Obito had seen that kind of "future," yet instead of resenting him, he had been thinking of him from beginning to end.
And yet, he himself had failed to appreciate it, doubting Obito again and again.
At this thought, the anger in Madara's heart had long since dissipated, replaced by overwhelming guilt.
Looking at his grandson, who was crying uncontrollably bef...

Hearing Obito's words, Madara nearly choked on his breath.
"Obito, is this how you talk to your grandfather?!"
Seeing that Madara was about to blast him, Obito quickly dropped his Sasuke-like expression.
At the same time, he made a mental note: I should stop copying Sasuke's speech patterns. I was just one step away from getting my ass kicked.
Obito coughed twice, switched to Naruto's determined expression, and prepared to unleash his Talk-no-Jutsu.

Obito was stunned.

Mei Terumi's expression was filled with despair. The Kirigakure shinobi behind her also fell silent upon hearing those words.

"Not long ago, under the leadership of the Fourth Raikage, Kumogakure launched a surprise attack on Kirigakure. We were completely overwhelmed."

After thinking it over, Deidara still felt that Old Man Kakuzu was the better choice.
With many former Konoha shinobi and civilians joining, Amegakure had entered a new phase of expansion. Not only that, but negotiations with Iwagakure and several smaller shinobi villages were also underway.
It was said that Nagato had been working like a beast of burden for days, even dragging out the Six Paths of Pain to work at seven times the normal speed. The guy barely got any sleep, rotatin...

In just a short period, the entire shinobi world had shifted once again.
Amegakure, in alliance with Orochimaru, had launched a devastating attack on Konohagakure and emerged victorious. Nearly the entire village had been taken away, leaving behind only Jiraiya, the Ino-Shika-Chō trio, and the remnants of the Sarutobi and Shimura clans, struggling to survive.
At first glance, it seemed like there were still five notable clans left, giving an impression of strength. But two critic...

After Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was sealed on the moon, Ōtsutsuki Hamura chose to remain there as well.
"One reason was to stay by his mother's side, and the other was to ensure the seal remained intact."
Hearing Mirai's words, Terumi Mei and the others nodded thoughtfully.
No wonder the ninja world only passed down tales of the Sage of Six Paths, while Ōtsutsuki Hamura, who also played a crucial role in saving the world, remained largely unknown.

Everyone wanted to know what decision the Sage of Six Paths made after discovering what his mother had done.

She and Nagato were fighting over the Ten-Tails. While Nagato possessed the Rinnegan and had a greater innate compatibility, she had still managed to seize more than thirty percent of the Ten-Tails' power.
Now, she could technically be considered a Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails. Though she lacked the Rinnegan, in her battle against Uchiha Madara, she had managed to obtain nearly twenty percent of the beast.
Given these circumstances, it was clear—now that Madara had been resurrec...

With most of the Ten-Tails extracted, Nagato's resistance weakened significantly, allowing Hikari and the others to pull it away faster and faster.
At last, with a series of low shouts, the colossal Ten-Tails—standing over a thousand meters tall, like a towering mountain—was forcibly dragged out in one decisive effort.
With a sharp crack, the white cloak draped over Nagato shattered like broken glass, scattering to the ground.
The moment the Ten-Tails left Nagato's body,...

That said, Kakuzu wasn't a stubborn man. Everything and everyone needed to have value. Only those with value were worth investing in.

In a clash of warriors, the braver one usually prevails, yet Onoki had no intention of engaging in a direct fight at all.
