082 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

"Jiraiya, you're in charge of three squads. You met one of them yesterday—the squad led by Yūhi Mitsune. Since you've already been introduced, there's no need for me to go over it again," Hiruzen Sarutobi said, exhaling a puff of smoke.

"The other two squads should be on their way here. You'll meet them shortly. When there aren't any missions, you need to set aside time regularly to train them and build rapport. I'm confident this will be an easy task for you."

"Don't worry, se...

081 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

Seeing Tsunade's flushed face and shy demeanor filled Jiraiya with a sense of accomplishment.
In all of Konoha, he was the only one capable of making Tsunade show such an expression.

Back in their room, Jiraiya pulled Tsunade into his arms for another passionate kiss. Her softness was intoxicating—each time felt like a brand-new experience.

It wasn't until Tsunade went weak in his arms that Jiraiya finally pulled away.

"All right, let's eat," he said casually.

Tsu...

059 Reborn as the Third Kazekage

The military operation targeting the Kirigakure stronghold in the Land of Rivers had been under constant surveillance by spies from various nations. Summoned creatures carrying intelligence darted back and forth, while many hidden operatives embedded within the forces began to surface.

Yet, both Hiruzen Sarutobi and Arashi chose to turn a blind eye to these matters. Instead, it was Rasa and Danzo who found themselves drowning in paperwork, unable to spare even a moment's rest.

Aft...

058 Reborn as the Third Kazekage

Hidan took the scroll from Arashi's hand. For a long moment, he said nothing. The flickering lantern inside the tent cast their shadows in shifting lengths on the walls.

"You're saying... I'm... one of Jashin's... immortals?"

"Yes."

"Jashin! Jashin! Jashin!"

Hidan muttered the name repeatedly under his breath. Then, suddenly, he clutched his head, a flood of broken memories crashing into him like a tidal wave. His mind felt like it was being torn apart as the gates of ...

057 Reborn as the Third Kazekage

"Light Release: Orb of Illumination!"

A small sphere of light slowly floated out from Kiyomi's hands before suddenly shooting into the sky. It was like a miniature sun, casting its glow over the surrounding area.

"Seventeen minutes have passed since the signal was supposed to be lit. The sounds of battle earlier were intense. Looks like Hideki's team ran into serious trouble. Let's move quickly."

As the light orb ascended higher, it illuminated the forest, breaking through t...

056 Reborn as the Third Kazekage

As the former leader of the militant faction in Kirigakure, Reno Shimizu was no reckless hothead who panicked at the first sign of trouble. Nor was he a muscle-bound brute who let his fists do the thinking. A tactician at heart, he recognized a classic trap: the strategy of leaving one route open to bait an ambush. Without hesitation, he concluded that the western foothills were a death trap.

Thus, instead of fleeing in a disorganized rush with the rest, he quietly gathered four trusted...

225 Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito

Konohagakure.

Obito had originally planned to indulge in his "gentle paradise" for a few more days.

Once he entered true sage mode—free of desires, with a heart as still as water—he would then go find Minato-sensei for a chat.

But with this outrageous news spreading like wildfire across the ninja world, he feared that if he didn't go to Minato soon, Minato might come find him first... and not in a good way.

So, after putting in one last round of ef...

224 Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito

Konohagakure.

After Kakashi and Obito returned from the genjutsu space, Kakashi was completely stunned by what Obito had done in recent days.

"Weren't you just gathering intel? How the hell did you end up... destroying Ryūchi Cave?!"

Obito let out a long sigh. "Ugh, blame it on racial discrimination..."

Kakashi clicked his tongue but didn't press further. "Fine, whatever."

Obito being ridiculous wasn't exactly news to him. He was already used to...

223 Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito

Konohagakure.
Hokage's Office.

Kakashi stood before Minato, holding a stack of documents as he gave his report.

All three of his students had completed their training. His duties as a jonin instructor had long been fulfilled.

So, Minato had reassigned him to the Hokage's office as an assistant, which was both a form of training and a step toward promotion.

"...Yakushi Nono is highly skilled in medical ninjutsu. Personally, I believe...

222 Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito

Inside a dimly lit room in Iwagakure, the argument between Ōnoki and Deidara grew more intense, their faces almost touching as they shouted at each other.

"You insolent brat! Stop spouting nonsense in front of me!"

"Old man, I'm telling you this for your own good!"

For the sake of his own health, Ōnoki decided to drop the argument. With a huff, he turned away and strode toward the door.

"You can stay here and reflect on your actions! Don't even think about going back...

105 Volume II The Strongest Artist in Naruto

"What? A jonin?!" The group immediately assumed defensive stances.

"Could they still be examinees? Just incredibly strong ones?" Temari questioned.

Karin continued sensing, shaking her head at Temari's suggestion.

"No, they're not. I'm detecting three jonin-level enemies. On top of that, there are five chunin. These are definitely not examinees."

"Is it them again?" Kankuro growled, visibly irritated.

The reaction piqued the curiosity of Kurotsuchi and her team. ...

104 Volume II The Strongest Artist in Naruto

On the third day of the Chūnin Exams, Kurotsuchi's team was on the hunt for a new hiding spot and much-needed supplies. However, after two days of struggle, their stockpile was running low, and their search had yielded nothing so far.

"Wait, there's fighting ahead," Karin suddenly stopped, her gaze snapping toward the northern direction.

"How many people?" Kurotsuchi asked.

"Two teams—six people in total," Karin replied, her tone filled with disbelief. "Their chakra level...

103 Volume II The Strongest Artist in Naruto

"Who is that skilled Wood Release ninja who suddenly appeared in Konoha?"

"It's Tenzo. He was originally a member of Root, one of the survivors of Orochimaru's experiments," Rin explained in detail. "Tenzo already had Wood Release abilities, but back then, he wasn't anywhere near this powerful."

"It's like he suddenly got much stronger," she added, recounting Tenzo's history.

Tenzo, of course, is the same person known as Yamato. That was a temporary alias he adopted when he ...

102 Volume II The Strongest Artist in Naruto

Vacuum Wave!

The ambusher wasn't an amateur either, with a sharp air blade, they severed Kurotsuchi's rock spear in two, quickly advancing for a surprise attack.

"Wind Release: Gale Palm!" The ambusher on the left threw a kunai, boosting its speed and piercing power with Wind Release. Its target? Karin.

Eliminating the medical-nin first—it was common knowledge. Especially when the medic had abilities as overpowered as Karin's.

Clang!...

241 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Looking at Uchiha Mirai's confident expression, Onoki couldn't help but recall the moment he once faced Uchiha Madara.

Back then, Madara had looked at him with the same kind of gaze—

A gaze of absolute dominance, as if no one in the world was worth his attention.

But…

Onoki clenched his fists tightly.

He was no longer the boy who would break into a cold sweat from just a single glance.

"Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique!"

His right arm hardened i...

240 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

On the way back to the Uchiha compound, Mirai took the initiative to ask about Uchiha Izumi.

"Izumi, I remember your grandfather once mentioned that you don't often visit the Uchiha compound."

Izumi nodded. "That's true. My mother and I have always lived with my father."

"She was always worried about the situation within the Uchiha clan, so she didn't want me coming back too often."

"But thanks to you, everything has changed. So my mother allowed me to move back to the...

239 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

Nagato had grown extremely wary after being captured by Uchiha Akira previously.

With the support of the Six Paths' power, Shinra Tensei and Banshō Ten'in were ready to unleash their full might, causing Jigen considerable trouble.

However, despite his power, Nagato could only barely maintain a stalemate. Prolonging the fight would inevitably lead to his defeat.

Jigen's attacks relied almost entirely on taijutsu, rendering the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki's immunity to ninjutsu irr...

238 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

Tsunade's eyes widened as if recalling something, and she turned sharply to Akira.

"Fifth Hokage, based on your theory, does that mean the Sage of Six Paths, his brother, and even their mother, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, might still be alive?"

Akira shook his head. "I can't definitively say what their current status is. Perhaps they're alive, or perhaps they've passed away—it's difficult to determine."

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, however, was known to still exist, though in a sealed state....

080 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

"I would never force you to do something against your will."

Jiraiya leaned in and placed a light kiss on Tsunade's lips as he spoke.

Tsunade gave a slight nod, then stood and walked into the bathroom to prepare a bath for him.

Jiraiya, in truth, thoroughly enjoyed this peaceful lifestyle they now shared. Though Tsunade had a fiery temper in the past, she was exceptionally gentle with him.

"The water's ready. You can come in now."

Tsunade's voice called from the ...

079 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

Despite the Uchiha Clan currently managing the Konoha Police Force, the village often ignored their opinions when it came to crucial decisions.

In reality, both the Uchiha and Senju Clans detested war. A large-scale conflict would inevitably weaken their strength, as they were always tasked with handling the most difficult enemies. The Senju Clan, in particular, had suffered severe losses during the First Shinobi War. Many of their finest shinobi had perished, including Tobirama Senju h...

078 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

"HIRUZEN! You understand how crucial the ANBU is to the village. Jiraiya may be strong, but he's young, inexperienced, and has no record of ANBU missions. Putting him in charge of an ANBU division is outright reckless. It's like gambling with the village's safety!"

Danzo's voice was sharp and furious.

"Jiraiya may lack ANBU mission experience, but he is my student. I can personally guide him. Under his leadership, the ANBU division will only grow stronger."

Hiruzen Sarutobi'...

077 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

"No wonder my jonin exam was so ridiculously hard. Turns out the old man wants me to join the Anbu," Jiraiya said with a dawning realization. Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't just testing him—he was preparing to elevate him. To give him a foothold in Konoha's power structure.

Normally, the jonin exam in Konoha was conducted within the village, pitting candidates against other jonin to assess their strength. But Jiraiya's exam had been entirely different: a mission outside the village to take d...

076 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

As the smoke cleared, a massive toad emerged in front of Jiraiya. He leapt effortlessly onto the toad's head.

The toad Jiraiya summoned was none other than Gamabunta. The creature still bore bandages on some parts of its body—evidence of the injuries it had sustained.

"Let's get rid of these pesky little bugs," Jiraiya ordered Gamabunta.

Before the enormous toad, the black-armored centipede and earthworm seemed no more significant than insects.

"Crushing these bugs? ...

075 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

Breaking through a hail of earth senbon, Jiraiya closed the distance to the mustached Jōnin and swung his blade in a decisive arc.

"Earth Release: Fist Rock Technique!"

The mustached Jōnin, faster than any elite Chūnin, reacted in an instant. His right fist surged upward to meet the Lightning Flame Blade, quickly encased in a layer of solid rock.

"Aaagh!"

A sharp scream echoed as the Lightning Flame Blade sliced cleanly through the stone, wounding the Jōnin's right...

074 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

The two Iwagakure jōnin who had just bolted out of the bounty office froze in their tracks upon seeing their subordinates wiped out so swiftly. A bead of sweat rolled down their foreheads, and their backs felt drenched with cold perspiration.

"The enemy's power is overwhelming, and his speed is incredible. If we try to split up and run, we'll just get picked off one by one," muttered one of the jōnin, a man with a thin mustache. He wiped the sweat from his brow and addressed his compa...

073 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

Jiraiya activated his Insight Eye as he stepped into the bounty station.

Through the enhanced perception of the technique, he quickly located the Iwagakure shinobi—gathered in a room on the second floor, sorting through a collection of scrolls.

The noise from Jiraiya kicking open the door naturally alerted the occupants.

"The enemy seems to be from Konoha. Stay alert! Avoid prolonged combat. If there's an opening, retreat immediately," instructed an Iwagakure...

072 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

"When we reach the mission site, we'll stay hidden. We'll only step in if your life is in imminent danger," said Yūhi Mitsune, her voice as cold as ever.

"I hope you'll remain cautious during the mission. Don't let our presence make you careless," she added, her tone unwaveringly sharp.

Her tall figure and frosty demeanor screamed "queenly authority."

"Don't worry—you won't get a chance to step in. You can treat this mission as a vacation. You'll witness a one-man ninjuts...

071 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

Although Jiraiya had long since possessed the strength of a jōnin, the village had yet to formally assess him. As a result, he still a chūnin and received the benefits of a chūnin, though Sarutobi Hiruzen had secretly provided him with additional allowances.

Now that the village was preparing to assess him for jōnin rank, Jiraiya wasn't particularly surprised. If they had delayed any longer, he would have submitted a request for the evaluation himself. After all, becoming a jōnin w...

070 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

The Shinobi World has always been plagued by war—a result of its inability to achieve unity. Back then, Hashirama Senju had the strength to unify the world, but his inherently kind nature held him back. Consequently, the major factions carved up the land, and conflicts naturally erupted.

Jiraiya, however, had a different vision. He planned to grow stronger and unite all shinobi under a centralized village system. Those who refused to comply would be eliminated to achieve complete unif...

069 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

"Finally mastered all those jutsu."

Jiraiya stretched lazily on a flat clearing in Mount Myōboku, letting out a contented sigh. It had been four months since he first arrived here, dedicating every spare moment to training.

Under the guidance of Fukasaku and Shima, Jiraiya had worked through countless scrolls detailing various jutsu, learning them all. The process had taken longer than expected—not because of a lack of talent, but because many of the jutsu required precise coop...
