"Did Danzo pursue them?"

Of course not. Danzo made his way to a designated meeting spot outside of Konohagakure. From the shadows, Kabuto Yakushi emerged, adjusting his glasses with a calculated calm.

"Danzo-sama, Orochimaru-sama sent me to retrieve the agreed-upon items."

Danzo cast a cold glance at Kabuto, this slippery multi-faced spy who knew far too many secrets. If the circumstances had been different, Danzo wouldn't have hesitated to kill him right here.

"Take i...

"Hokage-sama!"

The anguished cries of the Konoha shinobi filled the air.

Within the Four Violet Flames Formation, Hiruzen's frail body was pierced by the Kusanagi Sword. Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth, and his vision blurred.

"Old man, just rest easy now."

Orochimaru, standing before him with the Kusanagi Sword impaling his teacher's chest, revealed a fleeting trace of complexity on his otherwise sinister face.

"Old man?" Not "teacher"?

Hiruze...

"The Gate of Joy, open!"

Realizing that the Fifth Gate wasn't enough to take down his opponent, Might Guy's aura surged again. The green vapor encircling his body condensed further, signaling the activation of the Sixth Gate. From the Fifth Gate onward, every subsequent opening of the Eight Gates brought immense power but at equally great cost.

The Sixth Gate!

Kakuzu braced himself. Decades of battle-hardened experience made him an expert in handling diverse...

13 Volume II The Strongest Artist in Naruto

Because Orochimaru's control over the Edo Tensei bodies was weak, Hashirama and Tobirama retained their full consciousness. Upon hearing someone mention his name, Hashirama couldn't help but take notice, purely out of curiosity.

He could swear he meant no harm—he simply couldn't remember ever facing someone like Kakuzu.

"Tobirama, do you remember him?" Hashirama turned to his younger brother, the one always obsessed with researching strange things. If it weren't for Tobirama dev...

12 Volume II The Strongest Artist in Naruto

At the main battlefield of the Konoha Crush Plan, Orochimaru's Edo Tensei had summoned Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju. The clash was intense, though this scene was taking place years before the events of the original storyline.

These few years made a significant difference:

Orochimaru's control over Edo Tensei was far less refined than it would be later, weakening the power of Hashirama and Tobirama compared to their future portrayals.Hiruzen Sarutobi, still in his prime compared...

Crash!

As walls crumbled around them, thick wooden branches surged forward like an unrelenting tide. Deidara's clay butterflies exploded one after another, halting the advance. With the support of his clay termites, they barely managed to hold off Zetsu's attack.

"Ah, no more thoughts about poop—I need to focus! The enemy's about to escape!" White Zetsu's cheerful voice echoed from the shadows.

Clapping his hands together, a massive tree trunk, resembling the tent...

The two infiltrated the hospital under the guise of civilians, refraining from launching an immediate attack. With Konoha caught in the chaos of war, the entire facility was bustling, leaving no one to notice the presence of intruders.

Deidara followed Kabuto through the corridors. It was clear Kabuto was well-acquainted with the layout as they soon arrived on a quieter floor—the administrative offices.

"Seiryu-sama, the records room is just ahead. There should be guards, so we ...

9 Volume II The Strongest Artist in Naruto

Buzz!
The forest was alive with the sound of insects' wings. Black and white swarms clashed, waging a microscopic but brutal war.

Tiny black and white specks constantly fell from the sky, quickly carpeting the ground in a thin layer.

"Don't you care about your bugs?"

"My bugs are endless," Aburame Chihisa replied. Each of his parasitic insects could handle dozens of clay bugs, but sheer numbers overwhelmed them.

Sweat dripped down Chihisa's brow. His oppone...

8 Volume II The Strongest Artist in Naruto

"With just that skill? You can't kill me." Deidara didn't even bother reverting to his original form. Holding a kunai in hand was an unusual sight for him—after all, he hardly ever used such mundane tools in battle.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Anko exchanged blows with Deidara using taijutsu, her attacks swift and precise. Yet, she quickly realized it was going nowhere. Pulling back slightly, she formed a series of hand seals. From her mouth, she unleashed flat, disk-shaped fl...

7 Volume II The Strongest Artist in Naruto

By noon the next day, the formal meeting had arrived. Naturally, it wasn't held in the Hokage's office—it was far too small for such an event. Konoha had a designated hall specifically for diplomatic discussions.

In the center of the hall, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, extended a friendly handshake to the envoy leader, who was, unbeknownst to all, Orochimaru in disguise. They then sat adjacent to one another. The remaining members of Konoha's delegation and the envoy's group fol...

6 Volume II The Strongest Artist in Naruto

Before long, a kunoichi dressed in a mesh undershirt covered by a trench coat strode up confidently.

"You're the one who needs a guide, right?"

"I'm Mitarashi Anko. Pleased to meet you." Despite her usual bold and brash demeanor, Anko knew to maintain a level of respect and formality in front of a delegate.

Tsk, tsk. Anko, huh?

Orochimaru's student is quite the looker! But still, she doesn't hold a candle to Raikage's legs.

"Hey! Don't you t...

104 Naruto: Tobirama Reborn

In a concealed cave just a dozen kilometers from the battlefield, Nagato, his frail body pierced with black rods, sat hunched over. His gaunt form coughed violently, his voice echoing off the cavern walls.

"Cough… cough, cough!"

A mouthful of blood spattered onto the ground.

Normally, this was when Konan would appear, her worried expression urging him to rest. But now, he was alone. Konan was still in Amegakure, recovering from her injuries.

The current situation fil...

103 Naruto: Tobirama Reborn

"Ice... formed from water?"

Nagato's face froze, unable to comprehend the molecular transformation of water into ice—an advanced concept that his lack of formal education left him ill-equipped to grasp.

His confusion stemmed solely from the fact that Tobirama, someone with no ties to Kirigakure, could wield Ice Release.

The Shinra Tensei that had overcome countless obstacles reached Tobirama with only the force of a gentle breeze, ruffling his white hair.

"Banshō Te...

102 Naruto: Tobirama Reborn

"Hard to believe... How did such a powerful man die in the first place?"

The Second Tsuchikage, Mū, murmured under his breath.

He recalled the time when he and his apprentice, Ōnoki, had visited Konoha to propose an alliance, only to be humiliated by Uchiha Madara. Back then, Madara defeated him with a single move.

The strength of Senju Hashirama, who not only fought Madara but even defeated him, could only be greater. Thus, Mū wasn't overly surprised by Hashirama's prowe...

101 Naruto: Tobirama Reborn

"Tobirama, I can't believe Water Release can be used like this!" Hashirama's eyes widened in amazement. With his vast experience, he immediately grasped the essence of the Hidden Mist Technique, marveling at Tobirama's microscopic-level control.

"If only Mokuton could be this cool…" Hashirama muttered, lowering his head slightly, feeling a rare tinge of inferiority for lacking such a stylish move.

"Can you stop with the theatrics?" Tobirama glanced at him, visibly exasperated. 2024-12-27 06:04:01 +0000 UTC View Post

160 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

"As long as we can clone Uchiha Madara's eyes. Opening the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan will no longer be an issue," Black Zetsu explained.

Hikaru's expression turned contemplative. "Why not use his brother's eyes? Do you think Uchiha Madara is unique?"

"Madara is the only one who has awakened the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Perhaps he truly is special. Using the eyes of someone who successfully opened theirs is far better than relying on someone unproven," Black Zetsu replied. 2024-12-27 06:03:01 +0000 UTC View Post

159 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

Hikaru stared at Nagato, or more accurately, at his Rinnegan, as Black Zetsu sat deep in thought.

Noticing Hikaru's unrestrained gaze, Nagato frowned and said in a low voice, "Hikaru, don't you think staring like that is rather impolite?"

"It's just a couple of looks. What's the big deal? I'm just curious about your Rinnegan," Hikaru replied nonchalantly, continuing her appraisal of his eyes.

Nagato could only sigh in response. After all, Hikaru was only thirteen or fourteen...

156 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Inside the quiet room, Uchiha Mirai gently placed the teacup on the table, his tone casual as he spoke.

"You seem nervous."

Yakushi Nono forced a faint smile onto her face. "Anyone would be nervous in front of someone like you, wouldn't they?"

"No, no," Mirai shook his head. "You're afraid of me."

The simple statement caused the air in the room to freeze.

A suffocating pressure began to fill the space, and cold sweat appeared on Nono's forehead. A profound despai...

155 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

The Hokage Building.

Uchiha Mirai sat at the desk, casually unrolling the scrolls piled before him.

The first one detailed the extermination of the Mitokado and Utatane clans.

As he had anticipated, in the time since their downfall, rumors and news reports had thoroughly tarnished their reputations. To the citizens of Konoha, these two clans were no different from the Shimura clan—a cabal of villains guilty of unforgivable crimes.

Despite hoarding th...

144 Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito

Five days later.

In a deserted forest, a figure halted, turning around to face her pursuers.

"How long do you plan to follow me like this, you two sneaky stalkers?"

Her voice was cold, sharp as a mountain spring—piercing yet oddly refreshing.

Though the figure wore a mask, hiding her face except for a pair of striking green eyes, her proud bearing and elegantly toned legs left no doubt in Obito's mind.

This was the target of his mission—Kurot...

143 Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito

Obito grumbled in his mind.

"Seriously, System Bro? Just a few days of silence and you're already this washed up?"

[System]: "…(Baby's having a rough time)."

As a fledgling system still trying to get on its feet, the System had a pitiful roster of contractors.
Every one of its hosts was still in the "training arc" phase and lacked the ability to debut properly.

In other words, not a single one could earn big money yet.

No money, no power—n...

142 Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito

The Land of Hot Water.

Bustling streets filled with the chatter of locals and travelers alike.

Shisui turned to his cousin, his expression tinged with confusion.

"Obito, what's the plan now?"

Obito paused for a moment, contemplating, before replying with confidence.

"The Land of Hot Water… Let's check out that place first."

Seeing the determined look on his cousin's face, Shisui felt a sense of relief wash over him.

"Alright!"

141 Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito

Terumi Mei possesses two Kekkei Genkai: Lava Release and Boil Release.

Her strength and looks both meet Obito's standards.

Not to mention, in the original storyline, Mei ended the "Bloody Mist" era and brought peace to Kirigakure.

In terms of personality, she fits Obito's expectations for an inner-circle member.

And those long legs... those fishnet stockings... No need to think further—she's the one!

"Still, before heading out to find Mei, I should bring my cou...
