"You must focus on improving your skills. If enemies ever threaten the hard-won peace we've built, you need the strength to protect it," Sarutobi Hiruzen said with righteous conviction.
"I'm sure none of you want to see the village destroyed by war or your comrades killed by enemies."
"Sensei, I'll train harder. I won't let that happen!" Tsunade responded loudly, her expression filled with resolve.
Even Orochimaru felt a surge of passion, nodding firmly.

"Over three hundred."
Seeing Orochimaru's intense curiosity, Jiraiya finally answered. He had hesitated earlier, fearing it might discourage Orochimaru and Tsunade.
"..."
"..."
Tsunade and Orochimaru's eyes widened as their jaws dropped.
Right now, they both wanted to give Jiraiya a good beating.
Are you kidding me? Splitting three hundred shuriken is already ridiculously impressive! Yet here he was, saying it's a minor improvement and not worth mentioning.

"You really need to control your wife. She's far too hospitable. Every time you're out on a mission, she invites members of the Anbu to your house. They end up needing to lean against the walls just to walk back to HQ. This is affecting our unit's efficiency," Shimura Danzō reprimanded coldly.
The rabbit-masked ninja felt like his head was glowing green, as if emitting a glaring light. He nearly burst into tears.
Damn it. Do you think I want my wife to act this way? It's not ...

The sight of the Rabbit-Mask Anbu returning with such severe injuries left the team that came to assist him in utter shock.
"I let my guard down for just a moment, and this is what happened," he explained, clutching the wound on his abdomen.
The injury was grave—if the shuriken that hit him had been any more powerful, it would have been the end of him. His explanation, however, was deliberately vague. After all, admitting he'd been beaten so badly by a mere Chūnin was too humil...

Jiraiya's blade cleaved through the Earth-Style: Wall, scattering debris everywhere. On the other side, the rabbit-masked Anbu saw a shuriken flying straight at him.
"Kid, why aren't you using ninjutsu?" the masked ninja roared, frustration evident in his voice.
He assumed Jiraiya resorted to a shuriken attack because his chakra reserves were running low. After all, any offensive ninjutsu would have been far more devastating than a single shuriken.

"Are you saying you'd poison someone's grave?"
The rabbit-faced ninja blurted out, unable to suppress his astonishment.
What a cruel method. The person was already dead, yet you wouldn't even let them rest in peace?
"No, no, no. I dug up his grave instead."
Jiraiya shook his head and clarified, a grin tugging at his lips.
The rabbit-faced ninja's mouth twitched slightly. He hadn't expected Jiraiya to be even more ruthless than he imagined. Without hesitation, he ...

Normally, once the Rabbit-Masked Anbu used his Hiding with Camouflage Technique, combined with the summoning beast's ability to suppress its presence, even advanced sensory techniques wouldn't detect him.
Take Jiraiya's Wind Release: Wind Web as an example. It was a low-level, entry-grade sensory ninjutsu. If the opposing ninja specialized in concealing their chakra, detecting them would be almost impossible.
But Jiraiya was an exception. Thanks to the intense training he had unde...

Jiraiya gripped the Lightning Flame Blade, channeling his chakra into it. As he refined his chakra into a lightning nature, the blade, originally white as snow, began to glow with a brilliant blue hue, crackling with arcs of lightning that sporadically danced along its edge.
Next, Jiraiya refined his chakra into fire nature and infused it into the blade. A thin layer of flames, resembling molten lava, enveloped the Lightning Flame Blade, radiating intense heat.

The battlefield was eerily silent as Kakuzu shifted his gaze to the fallen bodies nearby. His sharp senses caught every detail—the burnt remnants of puppets and the scent of scorched earth left by his overwhelming Fire Release. Sakumo stood a few steps behind, his chest heaving as he clutched his short sword, its blade still dripping with blood. The young swordsman was clearly shaken, not just by the fight but by the sheer power Kakuzu had displayed moments ago.

Surrounded by countless puppets, Sakumo Hatake showed no fear. Weaving through the ranks of the puppet masters, he moved like a whirlwind, every strike swift and deadly. His blade sliced through the air with the speed of lightning, cutting down three more puppet masters in mere moments.

Although Kazuo didn't believe that even dozens of puppet masters combined could not be a match for Kakuzu, he still heeded his wife's advice. Using a secure communication method, he sent a report to the Second Kazekage, Shamon.
"It's done. I've sent the intel to Lord Shamon using puppet techniques," Kazuo announced. "However, using such a method means the report will take some time to reach him. We can't wait for reinforcements—Kakuzu must be taken down today. Understood?"

In the next moment, an overwhelming repulsive force pushed back the flames, colliding violently and sending both Nagato and Akira flying in opposite directions.

In the world of Naruto, even ordinary iron ore is a scarce resource, fiercely contested between nations as a strategic asset. Coupled with the primitive refining techniques of this world, metals of any kind are extremely rare.

As a proper ninja, Jiraiya would never use ninjutsu for inappropriate purposes—unless there were spies or enemies sneaking into the women's bathhouse.
Enemy spies from rival villages were incredibly skilled at disguising themselves, rarely exposing any flaws in their cover. However, when it came to bathhouses, all disguises had to be removed, making it the most opportune time for their true identities to slip.
That's why, after mastering the Water Release: Water Mirror Technique...
