430 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

So the two of them set out to find White Zetsu.

White Zetsu was once a human transformed into a weapon through the Infinite Tsukuyomi — a creation of Kaguya meant to combat the Ōtsutsuki clan. Uchiha Madara, however, had been deceived by Black Zetsu into believing they were simply grown from Hashirama's cells. Everyone thought so.

Kiyosuke knew the truth, but he never bothered to say it out loud.

There was no need. In some ways, White Zetsu's body was still extremely usef...

355 The Shimura Has Ice Release

When Takeshi walked into the room, Haku, dressed in a light pink sleeveless yukata, greeted him with a radiant smile.

"Takeshi, please sit down, the sandwiches will be ready in just a moment."

Even though the two of them had lived together for several years, Takeshi still couldn't help but feel awkward whenever Haku greeted him so warmly.

Beside them, Kimimaro stood up at the right moment and pulled a cushion out from under the table.

Only Yamato continued eating and d...

354 The Shimura Has Ice Release

The shuriken left the pale hand of its wielder and, following his will, struck the bullseye hanging amidst the trees.

The morning sunlight filtered through the dense leaves, spilling across Takeshi's face, forcing him to squint in order to see the target clearly.

"How rare. Since I came to Konoha, this is the first time I've seen you training in the morning."

Awakened by the sharp sound of the shuriken, Uchiha Hikari yawned as she left the wooden house in the yard, walking u...

Sea area near Island Turtle

"This isn't fair! Why can you appear together with Chōmei at the same time?"

"How am I even supposed to fight that!"

Wrapped in her Tailed Beast Cloak, Yugito widened her eyes in disbelief, completely stunned by the sight before her.

Gekko Chizan stood with his arms crossed, and behind him was the Seven-Tails Chōmei, formed entirely from chakra.

It was the ability of Tailed Beast Synchronization—allowing both the j...

382 Scourge of the Ninja World

A few days later, Takigakure held the ceremony to appoint the new village leader.

Yahiko smoothly became the village leader of Takigakure, and he was the youngest one yet.

This also made Yahiko learn many of Takigakure's secrets — for example, the rogue ninja Kakuzu, and the village's most intimidating weapon.

"Hero's Water?"

"Doesn't that stuff have serious side effects?"

"I heard it shortens the user's lifespan."

"If you can avoid it, don't touch it." 2025-10-28 06:02:01 +0000 UTC View Post

430 Starting from One Piece

Nappa strode straight toward Yamcha, cracking his knuckles with a series of sharp sounds.

He couldn't hide his ki — the aura pouring off him was almost suffocating. But there was no turning back now: if he fell, not only Capsule Corporation but the whole city would be utterly destroyed by this Saiyan.

Swallowing hard, Yamcha forced his fear down and let out a shout as he rushed at Nappa. Bulma used the chance to shepherd the ordinary civilians back toward safety; along the way s...

429 Starting from One Piece

17's newly inflated confidence collapsed instantly. He couldn't help but ask,

"Brother-in-law, are gods always this powerful? How many gods are there in the world anyway?"

"Of course not. There are many gods, but most are actually weak. Take the god on Earth — you could crush him with one hand right now."

"And the strong ones?"

"The strong ones are beyond what you can handle. If you meet a Destroyer God, you won't even be able to run."

"What about you, brother-...

Shimura Masao roared angrily, his tone harsh:

"Tsunade, are you really going to protect him? Don't you know how arrogant that brat is? He dared to insult the Third Hokage, even our Shimura clan's Hokage advisor, Danzo-sama. There's nothing he doesn't dare to do!"

Tsunade clasped her hands together, the sound of cracking bones echoing in the air. The corner of her lips curled into a defiant smile.

"So what? Even if one day he steps on the head of your Shimura clan leader, I w...

Kairen's condition wasn't good. Two ninja swords were lodged in his back, blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and his body was covered in wounds—some his own, some belonging to the three Jōnin he had just fought.

Kairen pulled the swords from his back and stored them in the Infinite Resurrection System's space, glancing over his gains.

The three Jōnin's final frenzy had given him 1200 experience points. Kairen decided to save them for now and only exchange them for ite...

Kairen moved in an instant — his speed left a red streak in the air — and the point he struck was Jōnin Maire.

"So fast!" Maire's eyes widened; a human body simply couldn't react to that kind of speed.

"Captain, dodge!" a Special Jōnin shoved Maire aside, and was immediately pierced through the heart by a sharp claw.

Maire shouted at the top of his lungs. They had come confident, believing that with their formation they could easily capture Kairen and take him back to ...

Moku Kairen was just about to slit a throat when two Special Jōnin wielding kunai rushed forward — one left, one right — and chopped off Kairen's arms.

Another Special Jōnin puppeteer used his puppet and immediately bound Kairen.

The wind-using ninja exhaled sharply in relief.

"Finally we've got you under control."

Seeing that Kairen was no longer a threat, the other Sand ninjas converged on the bound figure.

Maire dragged a severed arm as he approached and...

White smoke billowed around Kairen as he resurrected, forming a Seal with just one hand.

"Fire Release: Multiple Fire Gun!"

One after another, blazing bullets spewed from Kairen's mouth, roaring through the sky toward the two ninja falcons above.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom—"

In the distance, the onlookers were left dumbfounded. Kairen alone was holding back the entire Sunagakure Special Sealing Unit.

...

A Nara Clan Jōnin concluded, "Endless Fire Rel...

045 Getting Killed Makes Me Stronger

The puppeteer's ten fingers danced, and the puppet on his back quickly flew down.

It was a spider puppet, with six spider legs, each joint filled with complex and razor-sharp mechanisms.

"Da-da…"

The spider puppet clattered as it rapidly lunged toward Kairen. He didn't dodge, letting the spider puppet bind him.

One of its legs pierced a needle into his body, releasing a neurotoxin.

Kairen immediately felt his head go numb, as though he was about to drift into u...

In Sunagakure, or under the watchful eyes of the major ninja clans hidden in the shadows, the smoke surrounding Kairen once again gathered back together, and in an instant, he recovered.

Kairen immediately unleashed Naruto's Negative Talk no Jutsu, pointing at the sky and cursing loudly:

"Sunagakure, I've been guarding here for nearly two weeks now. Plenty of your people have already died at my hands—do you feel the pain yet?"

A Jōnin's eyes turned bloodshot, and he immed...

In the Sunagakure camp, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa stood in an open clearing. Before him, more than ten shinobi knelt on one knee.

Chiyo and Ebizō quietly approached.

Ebizō stroked his beard and let out a faint laugh.

"Four Jōnin, eight Special Jōnin, among them one sealing specialist, Maire. Two puppet masters. Two aerial shinobi with flying summons. One genjutsu user..."

"With a squad like this, even wiping out a small country wouldn't be an issue."

Rasa nodd...

Shimura Masao stroked his chin, then suddenly turned his gaze to Yūhi Shinku. Earlier, Shinku had carried the head of Sunagakure jōnin Koshikawa to the intelligence division.

Shinku didn't take credit meant for Kairen; instead, he honestly told the truth.

But Shimura Masao, who controlled the distribution of merit points, suppressed the matter and refused to award any merits to Moku Kairen.

Masao summed up: "That brat — he was the one who killed Koshikawa of Sunagakure b...

041 Getting Killed Makes Me Stronger

"Your ninja way is really strange!" Kurenai muttered softly, then quickly recalled the earlier tension: "The Sarutobi family is really annoying!"

Kairen gently stroked the girl's hair. Hearing her annoyance, he spoke in a clear voice,

"Kurenai, what do you find annoying?"

Kurenai pouted.

"Didn't you hear what that irritating Sarutobi Shinnosuke said earlier? He wants me to marry into the Sarutobi family. I'd never marry that stingy Asuma!"

"Then who do you want t...

The smoke from the gunpowder cleared, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke sat down uncontrollably, utterly exhausted.

"Should be dead, right?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke stared at the figure in the black smoke, desperate to see Kairen's silhouette vanish.

But to his disappointment, Kairen — shirtless, a thick black belt at his waist — still wore a cold sneer.

Fatigue slowly sharpened Shinnosuke's thinking. He kept shaking his head.

"Impossible, impossible. Even if he has this s...

039 Getting Killed Makes Me Stronger

"Bang!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke dispersed the flames, and from within them a puff of white smoke emerged. He frowned in puzzlement. Could it be that what he had burned just now was only a Shadow Clone?

After resurrecting, Kairen woke from his drunken, unconscious state and immediately realized his reckless actions earlier.

He had actually insulted the Hokage in front of Sarutobi Shinnosuke. That crime felt even more exhilarating than trampling on the Hokage's son.

Kairen s...

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a figure in a green ninja vest flashed into view. Yūhi Shinku immediately grew wary, stepping in front to shield Yūhi Kurenai.

"Sarutobi Shinnosuke!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke sneered, his eyes falling on the girl behind Yūhi Shinku.

"Not bad looking. In the future, you'll definitely grow into a beauty. You're qualified to become a woman of the Sarutobi clan."

Yūhi Kurenai's small face flared with anger.

"Like hell I'd ever want to be part...

Only one last lottery chance remained. Moku Kairen stared at the almost-burned-out green incense.

"Sage, bless me!"

The big wheel spun and, under Moku Kairen's expectant gaze, slowly came to a stop.

Moku Kairen's pupils dilated to the maximum, his heart full of excitement, because what he saw was—

[Senju Clan Sage Body]

Kekkei Genkai—the Kekkei Genkai of the Senju Clan.

Wood Release was not actually their Kekkei Genkai; it was developed by Senju Hashira...

Behind them, Yūhi Shinku unconsciously clenched his hand, then cut in and said:

"Kairen, grow up quickly. The ninja talent within you holds the qualities of a future Kage. I believe that one day you will bring change to Konoha, perhaps even to the entire Land of Fire."

After speaking, Yūhi Shinku vanished with a Body Flicker.

A ten-year-old who could kill a Jōnin—for even the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara at the founding of Konoha, it had been just about the same.

035 Getting Killed Makes Me Stronger

Koshikawa had no way to dodge and could only watch helplessly as Moku Kairen's kick struck his chest.

"Crack..."

The sound of bones breaking echoed as Koshikawa's internal organs shifted out of place from the blow.

He was sent flying over a hundred meters, crashing into a tree so hard that the trunk snapped before he finally came to a stop.

"Cough, cough..."

Koshikawa struggled to climb to his feet, blood pouring endlessly from his mouth. He looked weakly at Moku...

034 Getting Killed Makes Me Stronger

In the forest, Yūhi Shinku and Nara Yūji hurried along the path, finally reaching the range where Moku Kairen was fighting the Sunagakure shinobi Koshikawa.

At the base of a large tree, the two discovered Kairen's shadow clone along with Yūhi Kurenai.

Yūhi Shinku instantly flashed forward, supporting the already unconscious Yūhi Kurenai. Seeing that she was unharmed, he finally let go of the anxiety weighing on his heart.

He looked up at Kairen's shadow clone, his expre...

After being resurrected, Moku Kairen once again opened the Three Gates, pushing his Body Flicker to the extreme.

4 kilometers!

3 kilometers!

1 kilometer!

Kairen lifted his head. Beneath the moonlit sky, a giant eagle soared.

Unlike Dōheimon's wind eagle, this hawk was pitch black, far larger than Dōheimon's summoning beast, with twice as much chakra.

"Boom——"

Kairen immediately detonated an explosive tag. After being blown apart and resurrecting...

032 Getting Killed Makes Me Stronger

Sarutobi Shinnosuke quickly found Yūhi Shinku, stated his purpose, and domineeringly demanded that Yūhi Shinku control his daughter.

He told him not to let his daughter get close to Kairen anymore, while also promising that one day Yūhi Shinku's daughter would marry into the Sarutobi family, thereby elevating Yūhi Shinku's status in the village.

Yūhi Shinku refused again and again, unwilling to hurt his daughter's feelings. But Sarutobi Shinnosuke used the Sarutobi family's i...

Very quickly, Moku Kairen carried Yūhi Kurenai on his back to the B-zone defense line where Yūhi Shinku and the others were stationed.

In a clearing of the forest stood several small tents.

Yūhi Shinku was instructing Asuma and Nara Yūji in Taijutsu training.

The two were sparring with kunai, striking one blow after another, thoroughly engrossed in their practice.

For rookies exchanging blows, every strike was lethal.

"Rustle..."

The faint sound of bran...

030 Getting Killed Makes Me Stronger

After driving off the Shimura family, Kairen continued his solitary training.

The next day, Kairen lay on a rock reading the book written by Jiraiya.

Suddenly, he heard a clear voice calling out and turned his head.

Wearing red and white fabric, Yūhi Kurenai carried a small basket, running toward Kairen like a fawn in the forest.

Kairen immediately hid the book and greeted her with a smile.

"Kurenai!"

...

Kurenai came closer and handed him the small ...

Dusk was falling. Nara Yūji looked at Asuma sulking in the shadows of the forest, his mind still dwelling on the vast gap between himself and Kairen.

He turned his head again to glance at the one chatting and laughing with Yūhi Kurenai at the side.

Such a huge gap—how could Asuma ever hope to compete? All he had was the identity of being the Sarutobi clan's young master and the name of the Hokage's son.

But that was precisely his greatest advantage.

"Let's go, Kure...

028 Getting Killed Makes Me Stronger

Moku Kairen acted as if he hadn't seen Asuma, letting him pass right through—but Asuma quickly realized that what was in front of him was only an afterimage.

Kairen appeared again behind him. Asuma lashed out with a fierce kick, but it too struck only an afterimage. In the blink of an eye, Kairen was already five meters away.

"What's going on? What kind of ninjutsu is this?" Asuma was filled with confusion.

Kairen rested his left hand casually on his knee, his stance relax...
