203 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

As Akira drove his fully-formed Susanoo into action, the massive Rinne Sharingan embedded in the Ten-Tails' colossal head displayed a mocking glint, almost human in its derision.

To the beast, this tiny ant dared to challenge it, relying on peculiar abilities. Such audacity seemed laughable.

"Roar!"

With a deafening growl, the Ten-Tails raised its right hand, swatting down at Uchiha Akira's Susanoo like it was crushing a mere insect.

A flash of black steel arced throug...

202 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

Suddenly, Akira snapped his head in a certain direction, his expression turning gravely serious.

"What is that? It feels as vast and boundless as natural energy itself!"

In his memory, only the revived Ten-Tails had ever given off such an overwhelming sensation, akin to the infinite power of natural energy.

This was the same phenomenon Naruto had perceived when he entered Sage Mode during the Fourth Great Ninja War.

Now, Uchiha Akira was experiencing the same thing. 2025-01-15 06:00:11 +0000 UTC View Post

056 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

When Raikage A shouted Kumogakure's bold declaration, the entire room fell silent. Raikage A found this strange. Hadn't he already agreed with Tsuchikage to support each other? He had even helped the Tsuchikage suppress Sunagakure earlier. So why wasn't Ishikawa backing him up now?

Tsuchikage Ishikawa lowered his head, his face reflecting an unprecedented awkwardness.

You want the Eight-Tails AND the Nine-Tails? Are you out of your mind?

Ishikawa felt like he had ch...

055 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

"Hey, hey, hey, listen to me, everyone! The Kazekage has traveled all the way from Sunagakure to Konohagakure. It would be unreasonable for him to leave empty-handed. Let's give him a tailed beast. Right? That sounds about right."

Hashirama Senju rehearsed his speech in his mind, confident in its effectiveness. With both hands on the table, he was about to rise and deliver his proposal when a firm grip pinned him in place.

"Tobirama! What are you doing?"

His younger brother,...

054 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

The meeting room on the second floor was bustling with activity. Aside from the Five Kage engaged in discussion around a pentagonal table, their respective bodyguards stood vigilantly at each corner of the room. This setup was both a display of authority and a sign of respect for the Kage.

Senju Momoka, acting as an assistant, nodded at Kakuzu's suggestion.

"Momoka, take a break. I'll handle things here," Kakuzu said, stepping forward.

"Thank you, Kakuzu," she replied before...

053 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

Ōnoki and Mū stood before a dimly lit room. Raising their voices, they announced their purpose to the person inside.

Moments later, the man emerged. He was clad in armor, a Konoha headband resting prominently on his forehead. His long, spiked hair obscured half of his face, but even the darkest night couldn't conceal the fiery glow of his crimson Sharingan.

It was Uchiha Madara.

"Lord Madara," Mū began, his tone respectful but firm. "We represent Iwagakure. We've come to ...

052 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

The First Raikage's eyes widened at the blatant threat, his expression twitching uncontrollably as he stared at Kakuzu's retreating figure.

Who does this guy think he is? Daring to yell at me, the Raikage, like that!

Unforgivable!

Despite the storm brewing in his heart, Raikage held back. It wasn't like Kakuzu cared. He was simply here to flaunt his arrogance and leave. And he succeeded. If the Raikage had really decided to start a fight, it still wouldn't have been...

051 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

Tobirama Senju vanished in a flash of Flying Thunder God, leaving Kakuzu standing at the post with nothing but a faint breeze in his wake.

Kakuzu, ever the reliable man of business, sighed. "The deal's already sealed. Guess I'll keep an eye on his stall." Stretching lazily, he stood up, his sharp eyes scanning the steady flow of villagers coming and going.

With Hashirama Senju holding down the fort, it wasn't like Konoha would face any real trouble. This was more a formality than ...

050 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

The cool breeze whispered, and the gentle murmur of flowing water resonated through the land. The Naka River, winding through much of the Land of Fire, meandered quietly through Konohagakure. Its waters had nurtured countless lives on this land, witnessing its rise and fall over centuries.

Today, however, the usually tranquil atmosphere seemed to hum with an undercurrent of excitement. Still, the river itself remained serene, unperturbed, as trees along its banks swayed gently in the br...

049 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

"Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With the sound of multiple explosions, several shadow clones appeared in the courtyard. Kosuke, slightly panting, broke into a satisfied smile.

"Kakuzu-sensei, I did it!"

"Not bad," Kakuzu said, his eyes momentarily showing approval before turning stern. "But you're still far from success. Understand?"

Kosuke immediately caught on, dispersing all the clones with a quick hand seal. The chakra he recovered ...

048 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

The sun's first light gently spread across the land, casting its warmth upon Konohagakure. Its rays struck the towering Hokage Rock first, highlighting the "polished" head of the First Hokage with a radiant glow.

In the Hokage's office, Senju Hashirama stifled a yawn that made it clear he hadn't slept nearly enough.

"Hokage-sama, here are the essential documents from the past few months," Senju Momoka announced, arms full with a pile of papers nearly half her height.

Hashira...

047 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

"Tobirama!"

"You enjoy researching forbidden jutsu, I don't object. But everything has its limits," Hashirama scolded, his tone both stern and brotherly. "For example, if you dare place a Flying Thunder God Technique seal on me again—"

Hashirama leaned closer, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. "I'll show you exactly why flowers bloom so beautifully."

The memory of that threat sent a shiver down Tobirama's spine. Years of brotherly bonds made it clear—Hashirama w...

046 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

~~~

In the dense forest, birds scattered in panic, their dark silhouettes blotting out the sky. This was no routine migration. Instead, it was a reaction to a large group of intruders trespassing into their territory.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Puffs of white smoke erupted in quick succession, and one after another, Senju Tobirama's shadow clones appeared. Their identical expressions and synchronized movements made them indistinguishable from one another, as if copied and pa...

045 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

The oppressive atmosphere in the hall seemed to intensify with Uchiha Madara's arrival, but it was quickly dispersed by a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha! My sincerest apologies, everyone! I can't believe I'm late this time. Truly, forgive me! Please don't hold it against me!"

Senju Hashirama strode into the hall, draped in his Hokage robes and wearing the signature Hokage hat. Mistaking the silence for dissatisfaction with his tardiness, he kept bowing and apologizing, his affable demeanor...

044 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

After quickly finishing breakfast, Kakuzu reminded Kosuke to focus on his studies before heading out with Nara Shoroku. As part of the Nara Clan, their compound in Konohagakure had already been constructed, and Shoroku had moved there with his clan. Fortunately, their clan's territory wasn't far from Kakuzu's home. The two often collaborated on traditional medicine, maintaining a good relationship.

As they stepped outside, two familiar faces awaited them. Kakuzu waved in greeting.

043 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

Tch-tch.

Danzo muttered to himself, "What is my dream?" He repeated the question, his voice low and contemplative. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened with determination. He looked at Kakuzu and Tobirama Senju with unwavering conviction.

"My dream is simple. I want to become a Hokage like Lord Hashirama. I want to protect the village, guard over Konoha, and nurture the next generation so they can thrive under my care."

Every child had a grand dream, and this time, Danzo's ...

042 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

They say, "The child shows the man," but reality had only given Kakuzu the chance to judge Sarutobi Hiruzen from his elder years, retroactively imagining what he must have been like in his youth.

If someone claimed that Hiruzen had been a bright and handsome child, Kakuzu would believe it. After all, Hiruzen came from a prestigious ninja clan and was groomed as the next Hokage. His upright, heroic features as an adult seemed perfectly in line with that trajectory.

However, his sli...

041 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

A sharp cry pierced the sky as a brown hawk, a message scroll tied securely to its leg, spread its wings and soared into the clouds. Trained through countless exercises, these birds followed designated routes, delivering messages to their intended destinations with unwavering precision.

From high above, the hawk's keen eyes surveyed the sprawling village below—Konoha. Even at such an altitude, the bird could make out the intricate details of the village's streets and buildings. Konoha...

040 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

The birds in the sky chirped merrily, flitting from branch to branch before settling back down. Their cheerful melodies echoed, and their lively eyes observed the passersby below. The gathering in the Uchiha compound had finally dispersed.

"Clan leader, why did you let them leave so easily?" Uchiha Akira's voice carried a mix of frustration and anger as he looked at Uchiha Madara. However, Madara simply stood silently, arms crossed, gazing out at the tranquil waters of the Naka River. 2025-01-14 23:53:31 +0000 UTC View Post

039 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

The sound of wind and the rustling of shadows filled the air as Kakuzu found himself surrounded by a group of shinobi in an instant.

"To think you'd dare to trespass alone into the Uchiha clan's territory. Are you ready to die?" Uchiha Akira, who had returned, grinned wickedly. He licked his lips with a serpentine motion, his Mangekyō Sharingan spinning in his eyes, radiating a boundless desire for battle. It had been far too long since he'd experienced the thrill of combat, and Kakuzu...

038 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

The world of shinobi is a brutal meritocracy. Talent sets the ceiling, while effort merely determines how quickly one reaches it—and no further.

"How I envy those brats born with bloodline limits," Kakuzu mused, his gaze fixed on the path Uchiha Akira had taken moments ago. He chuckled softly, though there was a bitter edge to his voice.

Kakuzu's own talents weren't lacking. By the age of 26, he had reached the level of an elite jōnin, surpassing 95% of shinobi in the world. Ye...

037 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

The Sharingan—the famed dōjutsu of the Uchiha clan. It is said to perceive chakra flow in the air, analyze the intricacies of advanced taijutsu, and replicate virtually any jutsu outside of Kekkei Genkai. This incredible power has cemented the Uchiha clan's legendary status.

However, Kakuzu was confident. No matter how powerful the Sharingan might be, it could never uncover his secret of possessing five hearts. Despite his assurance, Kakuzu was in no mood to linger. The Uchiha's inna...

145 Naruto: Tobirama Reborn

"Did I hear that right?" Tobirama touched his nose, feeling as if his ears were playing tricks on him.

"No, you didn't mishear," Madara replied coldly, casting a sharp glance his way before continuing.

"The Nine-Tails incident may have been masterminded by Obito, but at its core, it's deeply tied to me as well..."

Madara glanced at Tobirama, who seemed ready to speak, but didn't give him the chance.

"Yes, Tobirama, you can resurrect those who perished in the Nine-Tails...

144 Naruto: Tobirama Reborn

Sunagakure

"Chiyo-sama, this is a military deployment order from the Land of Fire and Konoha. Please take a look!"

Inside the Kazekage's office, the Fifth Kazekage, Temari, sat across from the elder Chiyo. Though her face still bore traces of youthful inexperience, the countless upheavals she had faced had etched a gravity befitting her position as Kazekage.

Temari handed over a scroll with a steady grip, though her lips twitched at Chiyo's noticeably pale e...

143 Naruto: Tobirama Reborn

"Lord Hokage, you've finally arrived!"

The man sitting in the chair, Fujiki, leapt to his feet the moment Senju Tobirama entered. He approached with exaggerated enthusiasm, as though greeting an ancestor.

If not for the others present, he might have already begun groveling.

"Who's the Daimyō here, you or him?"

The faces of the three Daimyōs shifted in unison, each wearing a look of astonishment.

From Fujiki's words and Tobirama's attire, they could already iden...

142 Naruto: Tobirama Reborn

"What is the meaning of this, sir?"

Hearing the words, the expressions of the three figures changed. They struggled to interpret the casual, almost dismissive attitude.

"Don't understand?" he asked with a smirk, lounging lazily on his chair. "What does the Hokage's decision have to do with me, the Daimyo? Why ask me about it?"

He casually plucked a grape from the platter beside him and popped it into his mouth, chewing loudly and exaggeratedly.

Below him Kato Taku, the...

201 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

Originally, Uchiha Akira had some reservations about traveling back in time, but when faced with a crisis, there was no room for hesitation.

However, after hearing Fugaku explain the effects of his ocular powers, most of Akira's worries faded, leaving him more at ease.

At this point, there was no turning back—taking the risk seemed like the best course of action.

'White Zetsu's information-gathering capabilities are truly incredible,' Akira thought with admiration...

200 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

"Are you saying that the descendants of the Sage of Six Paths are better suited to handle the power of the Tailed Beasts, or even the Ten-Tails?" Tsunade asked.

"That's simply a fact. The first Ten-Tails Jinchūriki was the Sage of Six Paths. The Uzumaki Clan's constitution makes them excellent Jinchūriki candidates—their abilities are particularly effective against Tailed Beasts. Similarly, our Uchiha Clan is also well-suited for this. The Mangekyō Sharingan, in particular, is the ...

203 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

"I'm not the type of person who enjoys reasoning with others."

Looking at Mirai's mocking gaze, Tsunade's expression turned cautious.

"What do you intend to do?"

Uchiha Mirai smiled faintly. "What do I intend to do?"

"Wood Release: Nativity of a Sea of Trees!"

With a clap of his hands, thick trees burst forth from the ground, enveloping Tsunade in an instant.

The next moment, countless vines surged toward her. Seeing this, Tsunade was infuriated.

She ...

202 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Uchiha Mirai glanced at Namikaze Minato with a hint of surprise, not expecting such insight from him.

Minato scratched his head awkwardly. "When I aspired to become Hokage, I ended up thinking about a lot of things along the way..."

Mirai waved dismissively, unbothered.

He turned to Minato, a confident smile forming on his face.

"Minato, do you think my ambitions are limited to just the shinobi world?"

Minato blinked in confusion, unable to understand how "limite...
