After that day, Kaito found time to visit both the One Piece world and the Naruto world again.

He spent some time hanging out with Shalria and the others, then went to check in on Kaguya, who was still pregnant.

To his frustration, there was still little movement from her belly. If he hadn't used his X-ray vision to confirm that the fetus was only just beginning to develop, he might've been tempted to use the Op-Op Fruit's ability to force an artificial birth.

And just like ...

A Hyuga clan ninja stepped forward angrily.

"Kumogakure has no right to say that! If it weren't for your sudden attack, Hizashi-sama wouldn't have died!"

"What did you say? I've had enough of your attitude—want to test that out right now?"

"Test it? Sure, let's test it! Who do you think you are, huh?"

As the arguments among the shinobi from each village escalated, the Five Kage on the platform could only rub their foreheads.

Years of war between the villages ha...

Killer B looked at the massive crater blasted out by Shinju's "mouth cannon," then turned to see Shinju rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

Without saying anything, he placed a hand on Shinju's shoulder, his tone low and grim.

"Kid, you might have to pay up a bit. (̿▀̿ ̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿ ̿)̄"

Shinju didn't flinch.

"How much?"

He still had a decent amount of savings. Spending a few million to rebuild this old ruin wasn't a big deal—it'd be pocket change.

Senju Tobirama looked in surprise at Renya, who was gasping on the ground, confusion and disbelief written all over his face.

He couldn't understand—why would this man, who had fought him for five years straight, thank him at the moment of his death?

After all, this guy had always been trying to seize control, to completely take over Renya's body!

"Heh… you didn't really think I was afraid of death, did you?" Uchiha Renya gave a faint chuckle.

"I've been trapped in...

343 Adopted by the Second Hokage!

Late at night, inside the laboratory.

Senju Tobirama stared at Renya, who lay unconscious on the operating table. His voice trembled, unable to contain the excitement in his heart.

"Kid, I'll be able to cure you very soon!"

Five years of effort—finally, success was within reach!

"Mind Mirror Reflection Technique!"

Senju Tobirama formed a hand seal, and a black mirror appeared before him, reflecting the image of the unconscious Renya.

"Who is this?"

Before the enormous round table, only twenty seats had been prepared. Yet to everyone's surprise, twenty-one people had arrived.

"Queen Lily of Alabasta, would you please introduce him to everyone?"

At the round table, a blond man spoke. His sharp gaze locked onto Orin's face, carrying a clear sense of wariness and hostility.

As the head of the Donquixote royal family, a lineage that had prospered by exploiting the Tontatta Tribe, there were few among th...

"YOU!!!"

Ace's face lit up with surprise.

"You know Orin-san too?!!!"

"Eh???"

Hearing that, Yamato was left dumbfounded.

"Wait... you too?"

...

"So that's how it is. You met Orin-san when you were little too?"

Sitting on the edge of a cliff, Ace gazed out at the sea. He watched as crew members rescued people one by one, while he and Kaido's daughter sat drinking together.

Gulp, gulp... haa...

Yamato's face was full of smiles...

Kairen instantly realized—it was Orochimaru's Curse Mark.

At this point in time, Jūgo had basically been born. Orochimaru-sama had already begun studying the energy of Sage Techniques. Since he couldn't find Ryūchi Cave, he could only set his sights on Jūgo.

He eventually developed a simplified version of Sage Mode—the Curse Mark. It was probably after the end of the Third Great Ninja War that he defected and implanted one on Anko.

By utilizing the enzymes of Jūgo's ...

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang—"

Fiery red bullets rained down, striking the ground, tree trunks, and rocky outcrops all around.

They easily pierced through the solid objects, leaving fingertip-sized holes wherever they landed.

In the center of the clearing—

Kairen conjured two AKs and squeezed the triggers furiously, spraying bullets in every direction.

"Hahaha... See this, Root?! Let me show you crawling bugs what real firepower means!"

As his chakra s...

"Ah, what a pity."

Vados shook her head, the light at the tip of her staff flickering on and off — just like her inscrutable thoughts.

With a snap of her fingers, Champa's body slowly floated up behind her. After a brief examination of his injuries, she said softly,

"Hmm, looks like he just fainted. Let him sleep for a while."

Whis twitched his mouth as he looked at the large bump on Champa's head.

Still, the life force of a God of Destruction wasn't that fragi...

"Eh? Beerus!"

Champa had originally come looking for Beerus to settle the score — yet the moment he arrived, what greeted him was the sight of Beerus being tossed around by Kaito like a punching bag.

Although the two brothers never saw eye to eye, watching his own sibling getting beaten senseless still stirred something inside him.

Without a second thought, Champa jumped into the fight, firing off a blast of destructive energy.

Kaito paused mid-motion as the attack z...

"Arrogant bastard!!!"

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen erupted in fury.

A moment later, Hoshigaki Kisame finally arrived, grinning as he said,

"As expected of Kiyosuke-san. Even your fighting style is so... unique."

"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key," Kiyosuke laughed heartily.

Seeing the large blade Samehada in Kisame's hand, Fuguki Suikazan's black eyes instantly turned blood-red.

"Damn you, Kisame! That's my Samehada!"

As the original owner of Samehada, F...

"It really is troublesome."

Asakawa Kiyosuke surveyed everyone and said, "These Edo Tensei reanimations can't be killed. Don't try to take them head-on. Is the sealing squad here?"

"We're here!" the group carrying the sealing cloths responded.

"Good. Seal any reanimated ninja who's lost the ability to fight — don't hesitate. They're already dead."

"Yes!"

Everyone checked the revived personnel for faces they recognized. If you knew someone, find a way to deal wi...

What truly shocked Kokuō, however, was the one standing behind that brat.

"Chōmei, you bastard."

"Kid, you're actually a Jinchūriki?!"

"How is that even possible!"

Kokuō's fury was mixed with disbelief. Her opponent… was also a Jinchūriki? The host of the Seven-Tails, Chōmei?!

How could that be? Wasn't Chōmei supposed to be in Takigakure?

And this brat—wasn't he from Konoha? What the hell was going on here?!

It wasn't just Kokuō who was sh...

[Ding! The system detected that the host used an absolutely shocking method to break through the defenses of the Five-Tails, Kokuō, pushing her rage toward you beyond its limits. As a result, the surrounding ninjas—note, not just those from Iwagakure or Konoha, but from both villages—have all fallen into a state of utter shock. You've captured countless eyes!

369 The Shimura Has Ice Release

The night was deep.

Watching Takeshi already fast asleep in the next bed, Asuma quietly got up.

Before long, he left the hospital, his entire figure shrouded in the darkness of night.

"That rebellious kid isn't half bad. He knows to support the civilian ninja as the foundation, breaking the overbearing dominance of the ninja clans."

After listening to Asuma's account, Danzō nodded slightly, approving Takeshi's proposal.

"Don't spread word of this matter. I'll ha...

368 The Shimura Has Ice Release

"I'm not looking down on civilian shinobi, I'm just worried they'll be looked down upon by the great ninja clans."

Asuma's expression turned serious, and he looked earnestly at Takeshi.

Seeing Asuma's gaze, Takeshi instinctively straightened his posture.

This old friend of his had followed Danzō for many years and had inherited much of his insight—his understanding of the clans was in no way inferior to Takeshi's.

"Yeah, exactly! What if you lose your temper and ord...

The Earth Release ninja quickly swallowed a soldier pill, then slammed both hands against the ground.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

In an instant, a ten-meter-tall wall of earth surged up from the ground.

Kairen's sea of fire roared forward, and in the blink of an eye, the wall turned to ash.

"Earth Flow Wall! Earth Flow Wall! Earth Flow Wall!"

The Earth Release ninja continued casting, releasing several more Earth Flow Walls in succession to block part of th...

A layer of green energy ignited around Kairen's body, his skin flushing red as if he were a shrimp being steamed alive.

"Genjutsu: Release!"

The rapid surge of chakra instantly dispelled Kurama's illusion.

Kairen's murderous intent burst forth in Kurama's direction. In the next moment, he drew out a streak of green light, flashing forward like a green bolt, diving straight toward Kurama's guarded position.

"Careful! That's an unsealed Body Flicker!"

One of Kurama...

"D... Lily?"

When Orin heard that name, a strange sense of familiarity surged in his mind. Especially after hearing the surname Nefertari—

Wasn't this the traitor among the Twenty Kings?

A descendant of the D clan, loyal to Joy Boy at heart, yet in the final moment... betrayed him.

Seeing Orin fall silent, Lily—whose appearance was strikingly similar to Vivi's—smiled lightly, just as she was about to speak, Orin interrupted her first.

"The alliance...

"Is this... eight hundred years ago?"

Carrying a sword and a gun on his back, dressed in a black suit, Orin slowly opened his eyes.

The familiar laboratory was gone.

Instead, before him stretched an open wilderness, the ground blanketed with endless yellow sand.

Having arrived here for the first time, Orin still felt somewhat unfamiliar with the place. He wandered aimlessly forward—until a woman's voice called out.

"Hello there, are you also a warrior heading t...

342 Adopted by the Second Hokage!

"Clan Head-sama, how is the situation with the Uchiha's Hawk Faction right now?"

"Ever since you became the Hokage's advisor, their voices have quieted down considerably."

Uchiha Kagami showed a bright smile.

"Does that mean the Hawk Faction members won't be shouting about staging a coup anytime soon?"

"That's right."

Uchiha Tanaka's face, rarely showing a smile, soon turned serious again.

"But I'm afraid their ambitions won't stop there."

"You mean.....

341 Adopted by the Second Hokage!

Renya saw the fleeting flash of killing intent in Danzo's eyes and couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

"Before the Uchiha rebellion begins, I hope you don't go looking for trouble with them."

He was worried that Danzo, believing the Uchiha posed a threat to the safety of the village, would take it upon himself to provoke them—potentially causing the conflict between the village and the Uchiha to erupt ahead of schedule.

Renya knew Danzo's personality all too well; it...

Killer B and Naruto both lowered their heads in silence at those words.

As expected—comparing yourself to others could really make you die of envy. What they'd struggled so hard to obtain, the tailed beasts had just willingly handed over to Shinju! (ㅎ‸ㅎ)

And from the look on Shinju's face… he even seemed a little disappointed about it.

...

Inside Shinju's sealing space.

Because all their chakra had been handed out, the three ta...

Noticing the shocked expression on Yakushi Kabuto's face, the masked man said smugly,

"Just cultivating this many White Zetsu already consumed most of the chakra we extracted from the captured tailed beasts."

Kabuto asked, "So what's your plan now? Launch a direct attack on the Allied Shinobi Forces' headquarters?"

The masked man shook his head.

"No, that would be foolish. Our main goal is still to obtain the remaining five tailed beasts."

"We must first locate w...

367 The Shimura Has Ice Release

"You're not gonna believe this—I was up against five artificial humans. No, wait, six!"

Inside the hospital room, Takeshi spoke animatedly.

Asuma, lying on the bed, listened to Takeshi's ever-increasing number of enemies and couldn't help the twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Good grief. It started as one, and now, after a few hours, the number's multiplied several times over?

"Heh, is that so? Funny, because I heard from that kid Obito that you only fought one enem...

366 The Shimura Has Ice Release

After the war, only ruins remained.

Standing amidst the rubble was only one man—Hiruko.

Throughout the intense battle, Hiruko had faithfully embodied the spirit of a researcher who never fights on the front lines. He'd spent the whole time slacking off, simply recording the heroic movements of the Fifth Hokage with his recording device.

"Click, click... The Fifth is really something else. If he weren't the Hokage, I'd definitely want him as one of my experimental subjects....

"Aiya? Chizan turned into a snake? Is this Sage Art?"

"Not bad — a blue-gray giant serpent? Looks pretty powerful."

"Tsk tsk, that kid from back then has already become a huge python!"

"But since you dragged us out here, you know we expect our share — otherwise this sister won't work for free."

The four Urokohane sisters looked at the blue-gray giant serpent racing alongside them and teased, but inside they were all full of shock.

"Hmm?"

Hanzō of the Salamander also felt the ground trembling.

"Boom!"

The next second, a massive head burst through the ground, along with a flood of bright red blood gushing out from below.

When Hanzō saw the head emerging from underground, his eyes nearly burst from their sockets.

"Ibuse!"

Yes—that was his companion, his greatest asset, the poisonous salamander that had brought him fame.

As Naruto and his companions set off for the training island near Kumogakure, the Allied Shinobi Forces also began gathering at Kumogakure.

This would serve as the central command post for the entire alliance. The Iron Country had crafted new forehead protectors engraved with the kanji for "Shinobi" (忍), which were distributed to every participating ninja. Wearing their freshly forged protectors, shinobi from all the villages were assigned to different divisions according to their spe...
