Were these people reinforcements sent by the village… or Konoha shinobi belonging to this time period?

Looking at the young man before him Shinju guessed it was probably the latter.

At least, that was some good news. It meant that the time he had crossed into wasn't too far from his own era.

Maybe… he could even live to meet everyone again in the future?

But even with that optimistic thought—he was still furious! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

At that moment...

247 Learning Ninjutsu in a Glance

By the time Shinju and his group reached the underground site, it seemed they were already too late.

The rogue from Sunagakure known as Mukade was standing atop a strange stone platform, his face twisted with madness.

The platform was semicircular, covered in strange runes that seemed to be sealing something terrifying within it.

Shinju frowned as he studied the inscriptions on the stone altar—they looked oddly familiar.

Not far away, Mukade spotted the group of shin...

Rising flames painted the evening sky crimson.

The Red Force slowly sailed toward the distance. The members of the Red-Haired Pirates laughed and cried at once, raising their glasses together in a farewell toast to Uta — bidding her goodbye in their own way.

Orin was not someone who cried easily. He simply sat on the mast, gazing into the distance at the burning Elegia.

Little Uta had already woken up. She cried and screamed, wanting to return to the ship, but the...

"Tot Musica, huh?"

"What a pain~"

Step—

As the battlefield burned and smoke filled the air, Orin set foot on the land of Elegia. In that instant, a sleek black suit appeared on his body.

Facing the terrifying Music Demon King, Tot Musica, there was little tension in his expression.

"Hey, Orin!!!"

Through a storm of lasers and lightning, Shanks shouted at the top of his lungs.

"To defeat Tot Musica, just relying on brute force attacks won't—"

"You're showing up more and more often."

Senju Tobirama's face darkened, his sharp eyes falling on Renya with clear disapproval.

This brat's condition was worsening by the day. A solution had to be found soon—or the consequences would be unthinkable.

"Old man, stop looking at me with that disgusting expression."

Renya lounged back in his chair, throwing his legs casually up onto the desk, his attitude downright insolent.

Tobirama said nothing, his face growing ...

313 Adopted by the Second Hokage!

"Aren't you going home?"

At Senju Tobirama's residence, Uchiha Kagami didn't return home after dinner. Instead, he followed Renya all the way, wearing a troubled expression.

Renya frowned. Did this guy drink a little horse piss and now want to come cause drunken trouble for him?

Renya rarely drank with his companions, so he had no idea about their tolerance or behavior when drunk. If Kagami started acting up, the only option would be to knock him out and toss him out.

414 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

When Kiyosuke arrived, the Hokage Building had already been reduced to rubble.

From within the wreckage, Tsunade struggled to crawl out, her body covered in wounds.

The masked man spoke softly.

"I came to Konoha for only one thing—the Red Moon Scroll. Hand it over."

"Over my dead body!" Tsunade hissed.

"Then you have only yourself to blame."

The masked man raised his hand. Behind him, a masked priestess flicked a silken ribbon that cracked through the air...

413 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

"Dad."

That soft little word melted Kiyosuke's heart completely.

"How adorable. As expected of the daughter of Mei and me."

Holding his little girl in his arms, Kiyosuke walked into the kitchen, where Mei Terumī was busy cooking.

"Go wash your hands. Dinner's almost ready."

"Okay!"

At the dining table, Asakawa Shinichi puffed out his chest proudly.

"Dad, guess what? I nailed my mission today!"

"That's great." Kiyosuke smiled faintly. "After din...

339 The Shimura Has Ice Release

Although they already knew that the sly Hiashi had likely hidden some key information, Takeshi and the others couldn't exactly fly over there to beat it out of him.

After all, their group was still wandering through Ōtsutsuki territory. Who knew whether that scheming little brat was secretly waiting for them to expose a weakness?

Besides, Takeshi only knew that in the movie timeline, Toneri ended up a lonely hermit after the Fourth Great Ninja War. Right now, Naruto was only just...

338 The Shimura Has Ice Release

Toneri never expected that the two women who looked rather unimposing would possess such terrifying combat power.

One of them even carried the Uchiha bloodline—and had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Judging from that alone, it seemed likely these two were actually the main force of the entire team.

And thinking about it, that made sense. After all, in this grave-digging squad, there was a kindly old man, a short and androgynous midget, a blind guy in a trench coat and s...

367 Scourge of the Ninja World

After Jinlin appeared, the huge body began to roam among the Iwagakure ninja.

For a moment the destructive power was maxed out — and that wasn't all. The tunnels Jinlin had dug became the best shortcut for Konoha ninja to launch their raid.

Following Jinlin's path, a group of Konoha shinobi also stormed into the interior.

Tōshirō and the others who were commanding saw this and their faces turned very grim.

"Yabachi, send all the poisonous bees into action — charg...

366 Scourge of the Ninja World

The battle unfolded.

The Iwagakure shinobi were still launching long-range ninjutsu attacks.

The wall Gekko Chizan had created earlier was already close to collapsing, so the Konoha shinobi hurriedly cast another Earth Wall to reinforce it.

The high-temperature smoke lingered for a while. The venomous bees caught in the smoke were all scorched into dry husks.

But this didn't shake the determination of the Kamizuru clan. Under their control, the venomous bees started mo...

"Kaito! Let's go to P.E. together later!"

"Heh, sure."

In the hallway, Kaito—wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses—smiled as he walked downstairs, surrounded by a group of classmates.

Right now, he was posing as a third-year high school student—the same school Gohan would be attending later.

It was just a whim of his, really. Before Raditz arrived, he wanted to experience the life of an ordinary student.

As for how he managed to enroll? Simple. Manipulatin...

Minato suddenly turned his head toward the baby cradled in Kaito's arms.

But when he got closer, the baby wrinkled her tiny face in displeasure and snuggled deeper into Kaito's embrace, clearly preferring him.

Kaito chuckled at the sight, glancing at the few tufts of blond hair on her head.

"Minato, your genes are really something. Two kids, both with blond hair."

"Haha, of course!"

Naruto squeezed through the crowd and ran to Kaito's side, his eyes sparkling wit...

312 Adopted by the Second Hokage!

I am Shimura Danzō.

My lifelong dream has always been to become the Hokage of Konohagakure. I have pursued that dream relentlessly, enduring countless setbacks and hardships, but I never once thought of giving up...

At first, I saw Renya's existence as the greatest obstacle standing in the way of the Hokage's seat. But I was wrong. Renya had no interest in that position—in fact, he even took the initiative to recommend me to Tobirama-sensei for the role.

From that moment ...

311 Adopted by the Second Hokage!

The Hokage's office was so quiet, a pin drop could be heard.

The three of them held their breath, straining their ears to hear the verdict from Senju Tobirama.

"I hereby announce that the three-year assessment has come to an end—Danzo, you've passed the evaluation."

Shimura Danzo's pupils constricted sharply. His knuckles turned white from the force of his clenched fists, and a faint grin involuntarily tugged at the corners of his mouth—only for him to suppress it again....

"What is this?!!!"

A violent wind howled as massive explosions and clouds of smoke engulfed the entire Kingdom of Elegia. Even Shanks was forced to retreat several steps by the sudden chaos.

"This… this is…"

The native of Elegia, Gordon, stood frozen in disbelief at the sight before him.

"Tot Musica!!!"

"It's the ancient Music Demon King! It has taken control of Uta and used the power of her Sing-Sing Fruit to release itself!!!"

When word spread that Ut...

281 Roger Pirates Apprentice

"Thank you very much, Sanji!!!"

Orin hadn't expected that casually wandering around the sea would lead him to meet his adopted son. In a good mood, he smiled and waved at him.

Sanji, on the other hand, wasn't just happy—he was ecstatic.

Though his body had grown thin and weak from long-term hunger, at this very moment, for some reason, a surge of strength burst out of him.

He jumped with joy, smiling brightly, waving his hands at Orin with all his might.

"Fathe...

Tsunade slapped her forehead when she heard that.

"Aiya, I almost forgot to tell you—just remembered it now!"

"Something happened in Sunagakure recently. A rogue ninja named Mukade showed up, and they requested our help. So I sent Naruto, Sai, and Yamato over there."

"'Mukade'? Is he that strong? They actually need our help?" Shinju looked puzzled.

Tsunade spread her hands.

"He's a puppeteer too, but his techniques are extremely twisted. Sunagakure's having a h...

245 Learning Ninjutsu in a Glance

The Sage Art of Ryūchi Cave manifests differently for each individual depending on their personal understanding.

But regardless of the level of comprehension, there's always one inevitable change—anyone who learns Ryūchi Cave's Sage Mode undergoes a certain degree of "dragonification."

The extent of that transformation varies from person to person, but horns growing from the forehead are inevitable.

At this moment, the same thing was happening to Shinju. Tiny lumps of fl...

204 With the Justice System

The New World.

An unnamed island.

This was the temporary headquarters of the Supernova Alliance — a filthy nest held together by ambition, violence, and distrust.

"Da-da-da—"

Law threaded through the noisy streets; the "Kikoku" slung across his shoulder swung in rhythm with his steps.

A cold shadow lay over his face.

The surrounding clamor seemed cut off from him — the staggering drunks, the desperate types who drew b...

203 With the Justice System

Five days later.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

On the harbor, "Huu—"

The salty sea wind whipped Rayne Hawke's justice cloak over his shoulders, making it snap loudly.

Behind him, four rear admirals of Headquarters — Zoro, Sanji, Dane, and Hibari — stood like four immovable mountains.

A little further back were Commodores Kujaku, Smoker, and Hina.

Beyond them, ten giant warships and twenty large naval vessels formed...

412 Starting from One Piece

When Sasuke awakened his eyes, his body was so weak that after using Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi in succession, he passed out completely.

No matter how Itachi tried to shake him awake, Sasuke didn't respond. In the end, it was Kaito who came and helped him regain consciousness.

When Sasuke opened his eyes, his gaze was unfocused, and he murmured,

"I did it… I finally awakened my eyes!"

Yamato, standing beside Kaito, whispered,

"Sensei, when you awakened your Mange...

411 Starting from One Piece

Madara stood off to the side, deep in thought.

Given his understanding of Itachi, the man was calm, composed, and rational—never one to engage in conflict lightly.

Sasuke, however, was acting purely out of emotion. He knew Yamato's strength—utterly monstrous by any standard.

He wanted to rush to the scene immediately, but with his body bandaged like a mummy, even the slightest movement was agony. There was no way he could leave the hospital room on his own.

This ti...

365 Scourge of the Ninja World

"Yoho? Using Earth Release to advance underground, huh?"

"You guys clearly don't know just how terrifying Tsunade-sama is."

Gekko Chizan used his insect vision to watch the enemy forces slowly seeping into the ground, and a wide grin spread across his face.

He instantly used the Body Flicker Technique to appear beside Tsunade, opening with,

"They went underground. Tsunade-sama, how about we have a little digging contest?"

This sentence left Tsunade completely con...

364 Scourge of the Ninja World

"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"

"You're the one who said you'd quit gambling, not me..."

"Bastard! You did it on purpose!"

Tsunade was on the verge of losing it completely. Who was she? The Queen of Gambling! She'd been gambling since she was little. Asking her to quit gambling was like asking for her life.

Gekko Chizan looked at the nearly berserk Tsunade before him, the corners of his mouth curling upward uncontrollably.

Damn, he hadn't even meant t...

337 The Shimura Has Ice Release

Toneri was angry, and the consequences were very serious.

But he wasn't some arrogant fool either. Before using the Tenseigan, he still had a realistic understanding of his own combat ability.

After a short moment of thought, he turned his gaze—no, he didn't have eyes.

He set his target on two "frail women" who had strayed away from the main group.

Toneri's plan was simple and clever: first take down those two who looked weak, then interrogate them to find out who th...

336 The Shimura Has Ice Release

Seeing that the crab was still struggling endlessly, Takeshi struck once more at the cracked shell with another gust of wind.

Worried the creature might be in too much pain, he thoughtfully followed up with another jutsu.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

Wind fed the flames, and soon the crab was engulfed in roaring fire, spreading a mouthwatering aroma of roasted meat through the air.

"Is this thing even edible?"

Uchiha Hikari, who had been trying hard ...

412 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

The black snake suddenly shot forward, its massive body wrapping tightly around the Toad Boss.

The two giant toads nearby were about to rush in to help, but Gamabunta blocked their path and shouted,

"Don't move! I don't know what's going on, but all of you stay right here!"

"Out of my way!"

One of the toads raised his steel trident and thrust it forward—but before it could hit, his body turned into a puff of smoke. The toads were reverse-summoned back to Mount Myōbo...

411 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

Facing the female Haku, Kiyosuke coughed lightly, said a few words, then went to wash up and sleep.

Watching as Mei Terumī and Kiyosuke went to separate rooms, Haku asked curiously,

"Kiyosuke-sama and Mei-sama… did they have a fight?"

"Last night, Kiyosuke-sama got beaten up by Mei-sama. After that, they started sleeping in separate rooms," Karin replied casually.

Haku frowned in worry.

"If they're fighting, Yuka and the others will be sad."

"They won't ...
