401 Starting from One Piece

Hina's entire body tensed up. This time, she was going all in.

Her arms spread wide, forming a web-like iron lattice that shot outward, sealing Luffy completely inside.

Of course, Luffy had no intention of running. He bent his legs and sprang forward like a coiled spring released.

In that same instant, Hina's arms snapped shut, two fan-shaped barriers of iron converging hard on Luffy.

Boom!

When Hina pulled her arms back, Luffy had been flattened like a ...

357 Scourge of the Ninja World

As three faint beams of red, blue, and green light glowed, Gekko Chizan emanated a faint, otherworldly radiance.

Tsunade and Katsuyu were both stunned at the sight.

"This... Sage Arts of Ryūchi Cave...?"

"How old is he... and he already mastered Sage Arts?"

"My god... the scent of those three streams of natural energy... are those the three sages of Ryūchi Cave...?"

Sage Mode activated, the Serpent-Coiling Technique initiated — this time Gekko Chizan directly...

But with war imminent, Tsunade still temporarily pushed down the thoughts in her heart and directly agreed to Gekko Chizan's plan.

"Let's go. I'll come with you — if it really works, it'll count as a major accomplishment."

"I'm just afraid... hey, don't jinx it before we even go. How do you know it won't work, you little Chizan? No time to dawdle — we move now."

Tsunade was always decisive; when she said she would act she acted. She grabbed Gekko Chizan by the collar and...

329 The Shimura Has Ice Release

"Did it work?"

Seeing Shinno completely vanish from before his eyes, Jiraiya let out a breath of relief, but he didn't dare to lower his guard as he turned to ask his disciple.

"It worked."

Hearing Obito's firm reply, Jiraiya finally dropped his vigilance completely.

However, a new problem now stood before them—

That was whether the person inside Kamui's space could actually subdue Shinno, who had opened all Eight Gates without injury.

"Even if he can't, ...

328 The Shimura Has Ice Release

Shinno had thought that at such close range, his Daytime Tiger would blow Jiraiya to pieces. But right after he spoke, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shot out two hands that gripped tightly around his ankles.

Feeling those hands trying to drag him into the earth, Shinno let out a derisive chuckle. Harnessing the tremendous strength granted by the Eight Gates Release, he leapt upward, yanking Jiraiya, who had been hiding underground, out with him.

Once he released his grip, J...

404 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

"You're right. How could something like that possibly exist? If it did, you humans would've long lost control of your greed and used it to rule the world. There's no way it would've lasted until now."

Gamabunta took a long drag from his pipe and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"That thing isn't something you can deal with easily."

He'd heard of the Box of Ultimate Bliss before—its terrifying reputation wasn't unfounded. Anything that could read people's hearts was bad news.

"What are you doing?!"

Naruto roared. He couldn't understand why this man would kill such a good father — a father who had devoted himself to saving his son.

Even if Mui once made the mistake of sealing his son inside the Box of Ultimate Bliss, he had spent the past ten years trying every way to get his son out. He was a good father — and yet Mu ku killed him!

Naruto was about to step forward and argue, when Kiyosuke came to his side and stopped him.

A white beam of light rose from the center of the plaza.

A black cube burst from the ground—each of its four faces carved with a different expression: joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure. A thick, malevolent chakra oozed from its surface.

"That thing… is that the Box of Ultimate Bliss?"

This feeling… is bad.

Kiyosuke's instincts screamed at him—that thing must never be opened.

The warden of Hōzuki Castle, Mui, stepped forward and raised both hands....

Cocoyasi Village.

Golden sunlight spilled across the rolling sea of orange groves.

Plump oranges hung from the branches like glowing lanterns, filling the air with a sweet, refreshing fragrance.

"Hey—!"

"Hahaha, this year's oranges turned out great! Big and sweet!"

"Yeah!"

Villagers bustled through the orchard, busy picking, carrying, and packing the fruit.

"Careful! Don't bruise them!"

"These are for Hawke-san!"

Kurotsuchi looked even more pleased after hearing Shinju's question.

Oh, Shinju, Shinju… even someone hailed as the super genius of the ninja world still has blind spots in ninjutsu knowledge.

Immediately, Kurotsuchi began explaining the Rock Techniques to Shinju.

"The technique I'm talking about," she said, "is Iwagakure's Earth Style: Light-Weight Rock Technique. It can reduce the weight of an object."

The walls of the Land of Wind's capital city gleamed a dusty yellow under the blazing sunlight. Renya pressed down on his straw hat to keep the dry, scorching wind from lashing his face.

"Meow! What kind of hellish place is this—so hot!" Scar couldn't help but complain, feeling like the fur on his body was about to ignite in this unbearable heat.

The capital lay in the very heart of the Land of Wind, even hotter than Sunagakure itself. In such a harsh environment, it was nearly ...

"Kazekage's sealing techniques are really weak, huh..."

Renya gazed into the distance, where the rampaging Shukaku had left Sunagakure in ruins, and sighed with mixed feelings.

It was precisely because their sealing arts were so weak that Shukaku could break free so easily. Even decades later, this problem still hadn't been solved.

Take Gaara, for example. Ever since he became a jinchūriki, he hadn't dared to sleep. Once he accidentally dozed off, Shukaku could seize contro...

Bamboo swords scattered across the ground as Zoro hurried to pick them up.

Of course, Orin knew this was the first time in Zoro's life he had ever held a sword. Expecting him to win would be absurd.

At best, he was just an ordinary kid with a bit of brute strength.

Facing Kuina, who had been systematically trained in swordsmanship and was also older, this was basically a one-strike match.

However...

Orin looked at Kuina with interest.

Helplessly covering his face,

Orin grabbed Zoro by the back of his collar and carried him forward like a misbehaving kitten.

"Let go of me!!! I can walk by myself!!!"

The little green-haired boy squirmed in Orin's grip, as if being carried like that was the most humiliating thing in the world.

He was, after all, the mighty warrior who had already challenged and defeated every dojo in the neighboring villages!

Ignoring Zoro's noisy protests, Orin's face remained c...

Kurotsuchi stood there, dumbfounded.

Her grandfather had told her that Shinju's mastery of ninjutsu was extraordinary, but she hadn't believed it.

After all, he was just a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boy—how deep could his understanding possibly be?

Now she'd seen it with her own eyes.

This was no longer "mastery of ninjutsu"—this was some god-tier jutsu level of absurdity!

After hearing Kurotsuchi's suggestion, Shinju slapped his forehead.

"Right! Akatsuki probably doesn't have that many bases to extract tailed beast chakra. If we catch one of their members and ask directly, then do a full carpet search afterward, we might just find it! ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )"

Kurotsuchi: (ー_ー)!!

Did he really just say "carpet search"? Guess thinking isn't necessary when you can just brute-force everything!

Countless News Coo birds spread their wings and took flight.

They soared over the towering Red Line, crossed the deathly still Calm Belt, and swept past the countless islands scattered across the Grand Line.

Finally, they delivered newspapers carrying the dawn of a new world order to every corner of the civilized world.

Although Kusagakure wasn't an especially powerful ninja village, it was still divided into two factions within.

One was the militant faction known as Grass Root, and the other was the pacifist faction called Grass Bloom.

At present, Kusagakure was under the control of the pacifists, but the militants never gave up their ambitions. They sought to harness a certain hidden power sealed away within Hōzuki Castle to conquer the world.

Of course—another group trying to take ove...

As the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, Naruto was always in danger whenever he left the village. He was never allowed to travel alone — it was always in a team, usually with Kakashi, Yamato, or Kiyosuke accompanying him. Otherwise, he was confined to stay inside the village.

Since he was a child, Kiyosuke had always warned him: if no adults were around, he had to stay alert and never let his guard down.

Following that advice, Naruto quietly gathered what little chakra he had left, cloa...

"Besides, who said I was the only reinforcement?"

Obito pointed to his own eye, hinting at Jiraiya.

Seeing Obito's gesture, Jiraiya's expression turned to understanding.

A grin spread across Jiraiya's face as he turned toward Aburame Shikuro.

Though always quiet, the Aburame clan had forever been the most reliable of comrades.

Receiving the signal, Aburame Shikuro raised both hands. From the gourd strapped to his b...

Black Zetsu was miserable, but he didn't say a word.

Because of Orochimaru's new high-tech invention, White Zetsu could no longer infiltrate Konoha. That forced Black Zetsu to act personally and gather information himself.

The result? He ended up being chased by a cat.

He couldn't even figure out what that cat saw in him—it was so determined to catch the pitch-black creature that it leapt from power line to power line just to stay on his tail.

After hearing Aburame Sangai's words, Gekko Chizan fell into thought.

Forbidden jutsu — every one of them involves taboos.

Either the power is so great it harms innocents, or using the technique causes some effect on the user.

From what he'd observed, the Kamizuru clan's forbidden jutsu probably had both problems.

That made the technique's power uncontrollable. Tsk — the Kamizuru clan really were reckless.

"That's brutal. This is the first time I've ever heard of bees being able to eat a person."

"Isn't that something only ants can do...?"

Gekko Chizan felt like his worldview had just expanded again.

He had watched countless horror movies in his previous life, and only bugs—like ants—were ever capable of devouring a person completely.

But now bees could do it too? Damn. You learn something new every day.

Luffy was jostled about in the crowd, and after passing by several restaurants, he finally stopped in front of a fruit shop.

Normally, he didn't care much for fruit — meat was always his favorite — but the sweet, fragrant aroma wafting from the shop made his stomach growl uncontrollably.

He swallowed hard and walked into the fruit shop.

As soon as he entered, a beautiful young woman with long wavy blue hair greeted him with a warm smile.

Marineford no longer bore any traces of war; the ground had been thoroughly cleaned until it shone.

Except for the faint metallic scent of blood still lingering in the air, it was as if nothing had ever happened.
