419 The Shimura Has Ice Release

Sai and Yamato's sudden appearance gave Boruto a thorough lesson.

That was — never underestimate the shinobi of this era.

"Sai? So that means..."

It wasn't until Sai and Yamato left that Boruto finally reacted to Yamato's form of address.

"Mm. That's right, he's Inojin's father. And the one behind him is your teacher Yukikaze's father — Yamato."

"No wonder. The moment I saw that guy behind him, I remembered the face Yukikaze-sensei used to scare us with." Bor...

418 The Shimura Has Ice Release

"Doing something like this would damage the reputation of the Fifth. Use my name instead, Minato. Send a letter to the other Kage right away and tell them I have something important to discuss."

Sakumo had made up his mind—he would contribute to Konoha and to Takeshi.

At this moment, Takeshi was above the palace of the Land of Fields, watching Kakuzu wrap an arm around the daimyō's shoulders as they "bonded."

"After Kakuzu's friendly little lesson, I'm sure the daimyō of...

447 Scourge of the Ninja World

Kirigakure's most famous techniques were not those exaggerated Water Release jutsu, nor the so-called Seven Ninja Swords, but a remarkably refined ninjutsu.

Water Release, Hidden Mist Technique.

This ninjutsu wasn't particularly difficult to learn—most Kirigakure jōnin could use it. After casting, a thick mist would envelop the surroundings, blocking the enemy's vision while the caster remained unaffected.

Gekko Chizan stepped outside with his Transparent Release active. ...

446 Scourge of the Ninja World

Kirigakure, the Mizukage Building.

If the Hokage Building in Konoha was full of vitality, and the Kazekage Building of Sunagakure radiated a chilling, murderous aura…

Then the Mizukage Building was undoubtedly a muddy swamp—stepping into it made your whole body feel uncomfortable, that damp, gloomy sensation growing even heavier.

"Tsk tsk, no wonder this is Kirigakure."

"This environment is… something."

It wasn't that Gekko Chizan had never...

"Pfft!"

Hawk Eyes couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing. He patted Kaito on the shoulder and said,

"Impressive! This isn't the kind of fish an ordinary person can reel in!"

Kaito was speechless. He hadn't expected to hook a blue fat guy while fishing.

Jinbe rolled across the ground once, then bounced up with a grunt. When he saw the group of high-ranking Marines in front of him, his brain instantly shut down.

Aokiji: "Huff… huff…"

Kizaru pinched hi...

When Garp slapped him like that, Zephyr's hand trembled as if he had Parkinson's, and the fish that had been about to bite escaped.

Zephyr jerked his head around, ready to explode, but the moment he saw Kaito, his expression cleared instantly. He shouted in delight,

"Kaito?! You're back!"

Kizaru shivered. He put down his fishing rod, slowly turned around, and forced an excited expression as he said,

"Kaito, meeting you here is truly too… uh, too much of a coincidence...

508 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

Two bodies were unable to move, and two black shadows extended out, reaching toward the bells at their waists.

"A truly smart choice."

Kiyosuke's body suddenly turned into a burst of flames and vanished. A low-level sealing jutsu could only confine his physical body; it had no way to confine chakra. Breaking free was effortless. He took the bells from Kakashi, stood atop a tree, looked down at everyone, and laughed,

"Kids, you failed!"

"No, we didn't!"

Shinichi, ...

507 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

Regarding the fact that Shinichi had seen through their thoughts, Kiyosuke actually hadn't realized it, and he nodded in satisfaction.

"As expected of my son, he really takes after me."

Kakashi said helplessly, "Even though he saw through it, they didn't act as they should have. Shinichi is just like you were as a kid; he likes to fight alone. But you did it because your destructive power was too astonishing. This kid just purely likes working solo. And Boruto likes playing the he...

506 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

Giant snakes rampaged through the jungle, and the terrified screams of the children rang out. Kiyosuke smiled and asked, "Is this a bit too much?"

"It's alright."

"True enough."

As they spoke, explosions rang out one after another, flames shooting into the sky.

"Oh, oh, looks like my kid has made his move. He's using his abilities pretty well, his reaction time is decent too. He even saved quite a few comrades."

Glancing over, Shinichi had rescued Kakei Sumire. "...

Mount Myōboku.

Bored out of his mind, Shinju had retired early and was digging in the garden, planting vegetables.

After working for a short while, he wiped his forehead and pretended he'd worked hard: "I'm exhausted… vegetables really do taste better when you grow them yourself."

Gamaji beside him said speechlessly: "Exhausted from what? You didn't even sweat a single drop! ┐(´-｀)┌"

"And why did you stop forging and start planting vegetables...

"Sasuke and Naruto still haven't woken up yet—why?" a ninja from the Alliance asked.

"Naruto's chakra is exhausted, and Sasuke is seriously injured..." another ninja replied...

"What about Katsuyu? And the medical-nin healing them..."

"That kunoichi was maintaining the treatment using Shinju chakra, but for some reason, Shinju suddenly pulled back all its chakra... so..."

"Then this is really bad... without Shinju here... and the remaining Alliance forces are heavily...

On the other side of the battlefield.

Madara Uchiha looked satisfied at the massive Demonic Statue of the Outer Path summoned before him!

The next moment!

Madara seemed to sense something, turned his head, and happened to see Sasuke using Chidori Spear!

The instant his gaze met Sasuke's, Madara's pupils twitched slightly.

Immediately, his Rinnegan activated, effortlessly deflecting Sasuke's ninjutsu attack!

"You're an Uchiha too. Why not jo...

"Mito-san, what are you doing standing at the door? Hurry and come inside to sit."

Renya just returned and saw Uzumaki Mito standing at the door with a worried look on her face.

Uzumaki Mito nodded and followed Renya into the courtyard.

That old boy Senju Tobirama wasn't home; he must have run off to the laboratory again.

Otherwise, how could he let his sister-in-law stand at the door?

"Mito-san, have some tea." Renya enthusiastically placed hot tea in front of h...

"Do you like that girl Tsunade?"

"N-no, nothing like that..."

Jiraiya looked flustered and hurriedly shook his head in denial.

"Tsk, since you don't like her, I won't give you any advice then," Renya said, feigning disappointment.

Jiraiya doesn't like Tsunade? Who would believe that?

In the original work, Jiraiya was never able to get together with Tsunade.

The three of them knew each other since the Ninja Academy and were assigned to the same squad after g...

362 Roger Pirates Apprentice

Blackbeard's pirate crew, although not having any truly impressive members even two years later, is downright pathetic right now.

The recruits Blackbeard gathered — they're bad enough, sure, but none of them have any outstanding strength. Not even a single fighter on par with a Zoro–Sanji tier fifty-fifty matchup exists.

They would even end up running away if they encountered the current Ace.

"Zehahahaha… Hades, are you really fine going alone? This is the 2nd Division...

361 Roger Pirates Apprentice

"Orin-sama, is there something making you happy?"

Inside a luxurious room, on a large genuine-leather sofa, a man was lying there enjoying a massage. The young maids wore skimpy maid outfits, their little feet in black stockings and white stockings gently stepping on his back.

For Orin, this strength barely felt like anything.

At his side, there was also some newly arrived princess from some forgotten country, carefully peeling grapes to feed Orin.

Despite the newly la...

168 Getting Killed Makes Me Stronger

Shan's henchmen carefully recorded Minato's jutsu casting process. This was extremely precious data — whether it was the battle itself or the exact moments Minato formed his Seals.

If Doctor Snake pondered over it long enough, he might even be able to reverse-engineer Flying Thunder God.

The torrent swept through, clearing a space of roughly 200 meters, uprooting countless large trees.

Kairen reverted to normal, standing in place. His Byakugan opened as he noticed a kunai ...

167 Getting Killed Makes Me Stronger

Kairen thought for a moment, then continued explaining his training method:

"First, you need to find a peaceful place..."

"And then?"

"Find a bed, pull up a blanket, have a good dream—then you'll become as strong as me."

"Are you messing with me?!" Obito punched Kairen twice on the chest, furious.

Minato walked over with Kakashi, smiling warmly at Kairen.

"Make the Seal of Reconciliation. We're all ninja of the same village. Only by improving and growing ...

505 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

"In this era, there is no shortage of ninja. Every year, a new group of people becomes shinobi. So, why does Konoha need problem children like you to become ninja? You are difficult to manage. If you cannot pass this exam, then go back to where you came from. Find another path in life."

Kakashi's ruthless words caused the expressions of the group of kids to change drastically.

Just as he said, in times of peace, Konoha has no lack of ninja. Once problem children from the "problem ...

504 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

Shinichi had been training under Orochimaru all the way until it was time for him to graduate, and only then was he brought back to Konoha.

Orochimaru's training had always been personalized. For example, Kiyosuke, Sasuke, and the already-deceased Kimimaro—each of them had training regimens tailored specifically for them.

Since Shinichi's physique was inherited from Kiyosuke, Orochimaru only had to modify Kiyosuke's old regimen a bit. The only problem was this kid's innocence. C...

On the way to the restaurant, Kaito and the others ran into the old duo, Garp and Sengoku.

Both were dressed in floral shirts and huge flower-pattern shorts, each carrying a fishing rod on one shoulder and a tackle box in the other hand—clearly heading out to fish.

Seeing Kaito, Sengoku pushed up his round-framed glasses and exclaimed,

"Yo! Isn't that Kaito!"

Garp stopped as well. Following Sengoku's gaze, he shouted,

"It really is! Hahaha! My grandkids are her...

495 Starting from One Piece

Luffy stood before Kaito as timid as a scolded grandson, and just that sight alone was enough to make Garp envy himself into tears.

He had poured countless "love-infused fists" into Luffy over the years, yet even now Luffy acted the same as ever around him, sometimes even jumping out with a random "you old geezer."

Hawk Eyes glanced at the unconscious Zoro lying on the ground and said expressionlessly,

"Did you knock him out?"

Luffy only knew the title Hawk Eyes. Altho...

445 Scourge of the Ninja World

Jūzō Biwa's expression changed. The pressure Gekko Chizan released without even trying was enough to make him feel a chill.

The Ghost of Konoha—this title wasn't given lightly. It was earned through real battle achievements.

"Hmph, this is Kirigakure, and you didn't come here to take my blade, right?"

As one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he answered directly to the Mizukage, so he knew about Konoha's arrival and also understood their purpose.

The war was already ov...

444 Scourge of the Ninja World

Not arguing with the system anymore, Gekko Chizan turned his gaze toward the distance.

The thick fog had already begun to blanket the sea, which meant they were entering the territory of the Land of Water.

"Are you three still not used to it?"

"Forget it, let me help you."

Gekko Chizan casually pulled out a bottle of medicine, walked to the three little ones, handed each of them a pill, and let his chakra surge out, wrapping them in chakra.

He waited until the me...

417 The Shimura Has Ice Release

Kakashi looked at Jiraiya, who was sitting on the ground with his back leaning against a tree root, for a long time. In the end, he still didn't say the words he had been thinking — "You look really miserable."

He had known Jiraiya for many years, yet this was the first time he had ever seen him in such a battered state.

Even now, he still remembered the first time they met.

He remembered that day, when he followed his father's instructions and handed over the blade to Tak...

416 The Shimura Has Ice Release

"Nani?"

The Rasengan halted just before it could touch Hōki. Under Jiraiya's stunned gaze, his arm holding the Rasengan flew into the air, spiraling as it fell to the side.

Hōki let out a cold laugh, shaking his right arm as if to show it off: "Yare yare, it seems even one as strong as the Sannin cannot detect the special ninja tool on my arm."

On his arm was an extremely inconspicuous gauntlet, with gas seemingly flowing constantly across its surface.

"Tangible atta...

Kakashi let out a soft breath, his eyes showing a seriousness he had never had before. He formed a few seals, and blue Lightning Release chakra suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Zzzzz…"

Kakashi bent his waist, spreading one palm. The crackling of electricity slowly rose, as if a thousand birds were chirping cheerfully.

Minato touched his chin as he watched Kakashi perform the technique, and said lightly,

"Kakashi has been developing his own Lightning Release ninjutsu f...

165 Getting Killed Makes Me Stronger

In the lush forest, there was a clearing with a small stream flowing through the middle.

Kakashi arrived at this training field, glanced back, and his eyes carried a hint of disappointment.

How could someone who couldn't even keep up with his speed be a powerful ninja?!

Suddenly, a voice sounded above Kakashi's head: "The earth belongs to ninjas, and the sky belongs to sages. Kakashi, I have already ascended to become an immortal."

Kakashi looked up, his pupils shrinki...
