In a memory of a past life, there had been a compilation video featuring Konoha's infamous "Four Deadlasts." Among them stood Jiraiya, his adolescent self not particularly strong—but not many could completely overpower him either.
Kakuzu narrowed his eyes. The one who had once crushed Jiraiya into the ground didn't seem older than fifteen, likely two years Jiraiya's senior. His striking white hair and a short sword in hand marked him as none other than Hatake Sakumo.
Sakumo's sh...

Konoha - Outskirts - Underground Base
Dim light flickered at the entrance to a hidden staircase that spiraled deep into the earth. At the bottom lay a labyrinthine network of meticulously organized buildings, their rooftops stacked in a claustrophobic array. Danzo Shimura, appearing about thirty years old, clad in battle armor with a ninjatō strapped to his back, descended the stairs at a measured pace. Two shinobi flanked him as escorts.
"Danzo-sama, that's the ...

"Nani? What did I say wrong?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked genuinely baffled.
Kakuzu was from the same era as Tobirama Senju. Jiraiya was Sarutobi's disciple, so calling Kakuzu "Grandfather" didn't seem too far-fetched. Then again, Kakuzu never taught Jiraiya ninjutsu, so maybe dropping "sensei" and sticking with "grandpa" was more appropriate?
Hiruzen just couldn't figure out where he had gone wrong.
"Heh, you didn't say anything wrong. I just feel like...

The past five years had quietly flown by.
Konohagakure.
The village was still as imposing as ever, surrounded by its towering wooden walls. A few Konoha shinobi patrolled lazily, clearly uninterested in their mundane task. Suddenly, a tall figure appeared on the horizon, stepping into their line of sight.
The man was broad-shouldered and towering, his presence exuding an overwhelming aura of raw power. Chakra rippled around him, unrestrained and palpable. Th...

Inside Ryūchi Cave.
Her body trembled slightly.
This lowly human—how dare he be so insolent!
To think he had the audacity to ask her to do that!
Watching the girl quiver in anger, Obito scratched his head in confusion.
What? All he wanted was… that. Why was this monster girl so mad?
She forced herself to calm down, a sweet smile once again gracing her face.
"I understand your request. Please, take a seat. I...

Konohagakure.
In Uchiha Itachi's home.
Obito set down his teacup, a mix of gratitude and relief in his voice as he spoke.
"It's a good thing you were there that day, Itachi. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable."
Itachi, holding his own cup, nodded slightly but said nothing.
Obito, well aware of Itachi's reserved nature, pressed on with another question.
"Itachi, are you certain that Orochimaru will die from your ocular tech...

"The mission is already halfway done..." Obito mused to himself.
Now, only four tailed beasts remained: the Two-Tails, Five-Tails, Eight-Tails, and Nine-Tails.
Once they were captured, the Gedo Statue could be fully unsealed, summoning the Ten-Tails into the world.
That meant many of the perks promised to him by the [System] were just around the corner.
Thinking about this, Obito couldn't help but grumble in his mind:
"System, you're so lame!"

After releasing Amaterasu, Itachi felt a slight sting in his eyes.
Deactivating his Mangekyō Sharingan, he gripped his blade and charged straight at Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru-Style: Substitution Jutsu!"
Orochimaru, enduring immense pain, opened his mouth wide.
As his body shed like a pale, brittle snakeskin, he spat out a wet and slimy version of himself.
"Arghhhhh!"
Though the black flames on his body had subsided, the golden flames burnin...

For the third time, Might Guy launched a spinning kick, its power now a qualitative leap beyond the second.
"Even with that massive gash on his right thigh, it's as if he's completely unaffected," Kisame remarked, a note of genuine admiration in his voice.
"This kind of pain? I've long grown used to it!" Guy roared, his kick shattering the nearby cliff face into rubble.
With the Sixth Gate opened, Guy's speed surpassed even what Kakashi's Sharingan could keep up with.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"
A stream of fireballs erupted from Kakashi's mouth, scattering in every direction in an intricate yet deliberate pattern, all aimed at Guy.

"Namikaze Minato?" Orochimaru froze for a moment. The matter of Namikaze Minato splitting the Nine-Tails into two halves was an exceptionally well-guarded secret. After all, only he and Kushina were present at the time—and now, both were dead.
As a result, no one else knew about it, not even Obito.
"Reanimating him would be a huge hassle. His soul has already been consumed by the Shinigami," Orochimaru explained.
"To achieve it, you'd need to go to the Uzumaki Clan's Mask ...

"Little Jiraiya, you've finally arrived," Sage Fukasaku said, a hint of impatience in his voice.
"My apologies, both of you," Jiraiya sighed helplessly, a slight awkwardness on his face. "The situation in Konoha was too tense recently. I couldn't find the time to heed the Great Toad Sage's teachings."
Although searching for the Prophecy Child, training him, and helping him bring peace to the ninja world was Jiraiya's lifelong dream, Konoha wa...

Kakuzu's fists hardened instantly as his Earth Grudge Fear technique activated. In a flash, his arm shot out like a missile, striking with pinpoint accuracy.

It wasn't Uchiha Madara.

The power of the Nine Masked Beasts was incredibly tempting. But only if you could truly control such a formidable summoning beast. Within it were nine entities, each representing a direction of the world—remarkably aligned with the positions of the rings worn by the future Akatsuki members. Their combined strength was immense. By rough estimation, without Rinnegan-level mastery like Nagato's, anyone attempting to wield the nine entities was likely to be consumed by them.

Hokage Tower. Hokage's Office.
Uchiha Mirai sat leisurely on the Hokage's desk, a faint smirk tugging at his lips.
Nearby, Kurenai Yuhi, who had been observing him closely, couldn't hold back her curiosity.
"Mirai, you seem to be in an especially good mood today. What's the occasion?"
Mirai nodded slightly. "I dealt with the Hyūga clan's issue. From now on, there will be no more Caged Bird Seals."

Like all other Tailed Beasts, the Ten-Tails is fundamentally a creature of chakra.
Its flesh and blood are formed entirely from chakra.
However, the quality of the Ten-Tails' chakra far surpasses that of the other Tailed Beasts. The same amount of chakra from the Ten-Tails produces far more flesh and blood than the equivalent chakra from any other Tailed Beast.
This is why, despite Tsunade and the others consuming a significant amount of the Ten-Tails' flesh over the past fe...

Jutsu-wise, the First Mizukage could likely hold his own against Tobirama Senju. But Tobirama's vast chakra reserves, combined with forbidden techniques like the Flying Thunder God Technique, made him a one-of-a-kind force in the ninja world.

The dense forest was eerily silent as Hiruzen Sarutobi and his team came to a halt atop a thick tree branch. Their Adam's apples bobbed involuntarily as they stared ahead, tension thick in the air. Moments ago, they had witnessed a tailed beast bomb streaking through the sky, its descent marked by a deafening crash just a few kilometers ahead. Yet strangely, the bomb didn't explode.
Such anomalies only heightened their unease. After all, fear of the unknown often surpassed the terror of...

On a battlefield near the border of the Land of Hot Water, shrouded in thick white mist, a war—or rather, a one-sided massacre by the Kirigakure shinobi against the samurai—was underway.
Unlike the samurai of the Land of Iron, who possessed chakra, ordinary samurai held contempt for such "external powers." Yet, even a genin with ba...

As it stood, her Byakugan was the purest among the entire Hyuga clan.
If not for the Caged Bird Seal, the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon would undoubtedly covet her Byakugan.
Of course, while her Byakugan purity was high, that didn't necessarily mean she was the most compatible with Ōtsutsuki...
