"Bang——!!!"

A heavy impact resounded as Beckman was sent flying.

He crashed violently onto the deck of the Red Force, splintering the solid wood beneath him.

The searing pain and dizziness assaulted his brain.

But as the right-hand man of a Yonko, he forced himself to endure the agony and struggled to his feet.

He raised his head, glaring at the golden figure slowly retracting his leg.

...

The lazy, indifferent expression that usually hun...

After finishing his talk with the Daimyo of the Land of Birds, Shinju didn't want to stay in the mansion another second.

The moment he stepped out of the inner hall, he grabbed Neji and the others, then instantly teleported them all back to Monk Mōsō's residence using Flying Thunder God.

As they landed, Shinju sighed in relief at his own foresight.

"Good thing I've gotten into the habit of leaving a Flying Thunder God mark everywhere I go. Otherwise, escaping might've been...

After asking around the city for a while, Shinju roughly pieced together what had happened.

Following the death of the previous daimyo of the Land of Birds, his son Sagi and his long-serving adviser, Kōmei, were both nominated as successors.

Eventually, Sagi gained the support of the people and of the high monk Monk Mōso, ascending to the position of daimyo.

Not long after that, the new daimyo Sagi's younger sister was found dead—and everyone suspected that Kōmei was be...

"How rare. A mere mortal actually managed to return safely from the Holy Land."

Waves lapped against the sides of the warship. On deck, rows of Marine soldiers patrolled back and forth, their boots thudding rhythmically on the wooden planks.

Amid them stood several figures cloaked in white robes and wearing masks—an unusual sight among the uniformed ranks.

Yet none of the surrounding soldiers seemed to notice them at all.

These newly inducted CP0 agents were acting u...

Of course, with his current vast influence, he couldn't just disband everything on the spot—things would have to fade away slowly, over time.

Maybe by the time the Worst Generation arrived, his influence would have lessened a bit?

"Beru beru beru beru..."

While Orin was lost in thought, pondering how to further advance his Conqueror's Haki, a Den Den Mushi suddenly rang out with an urgent tone.

He reached into his coat and pulled out another Den Den Mushi.

"Kyahahaha, then I won't hold back!"

Ignoring the unconscious Kakuzu, Renya strode straight into the vault.

With this much money, maybe not enough to rival a whole nation, but definitely enough to rival a whole village.

Though he wasn't entirely sure about the exact value of gold in the Shinobi World.

If this fortune were to appear in the Shinobi World, it would absolutely drive everyone mad.

Ninja villages never had proper industries; they relied solely on compl...

295 Adopted by the Second Hokage!

Kakuzu's eyes were swollen on both sides from being punched, and he could only squint helplessly as he watched Renya calmly store the stacks of cash into his sealing scrolls one by one.

All that money… was everything he had earned through endless nights of taking bounties without rest.

And now, it was all gone. Not a single coin left on him…

If only he could beat Renya, he would've already gotten up and fought to the death.

Every time he encountered this bastard, n...

The training grounds were already filled with dozens of female cadets waiting in neat formation.

It was hard not to notice that when Gion picked her trainees, she must have factored in appearance as well—because not a single one of them could be called plain-looking.

Even after months of outdoor training, not one of them had tanned; they all stood tall and striking, a scene that was, frankly, pleasing to the eye.

Still, even among all these beautiful women, Conis stood out...

Kaito glanced at Marco, pointed to Dalton lying on the ground, and said,

"Take this guy and get out of here. If you wait any longer, it'll be too late."

Marco froze for a second, then instinctively nodded. He hoisted Dalton onto his back, shifted into his beast form, and flew off into the distance.

Kaito, meanwhile, flickered and appeared high above Hachinosu.

There were still many members of the Rocks Pirates scattered across the island. Most of them hadn't realized w...

349 Scourge of the Ninja World

After leaving the village, Gekko Chizan headed straight for the border of the Land of Fire.

Tsunade had already departed with her team, only about half a day ahead of him.

By the time he had covered more than half the distance, he suddenly came across a unit transporting the wounded, which made him pause in his tracks.

"Yo? Isn't this Captain Inuzuka Gaku?"

"What happened? An honorable injury? Hey, isn't this your big yellow dog? Look at the concern in his eyes."

348 Scourge of the Ninja World

At the border of the Land of Grass, several figures dashed quickly toward the direction of the Land of Fire.

"Dammit! These bees are terrifying!"

"Tōdō, run faster!"

A man and a dog ran at top speed, urging their teammates along.

"Inuzuka Gaku, you're going too far! Don't you know how hard running is for me?!"

"Argh! I miss Minato so much. If he were here, I wouldn't have to suffer like this."

Inuzuka Gaku's squad, as an elite unit, had long been statione...

"...This guy..."

Kitsuchi's mouth twitched as he stared at his old man.

The other guards all wore complicated expressions.

"This Hokage... he looks kind of cute, but why does he talk like that..."

The Kazekage's guard looked at that face that was even prettier than a girl's and didn't know what to say.

"Too bad he was born with a mouth."

Her comrade helpfully said what she didn't dare to.

Ōnoki: Finally, someone who understands me.

"Th...

320 The Shimura Has Ice Release

Danzō left the Hokage's office just like that, swift and brimming with confidence.

His movements were so fast, the negotiation so smooth, that even Koharu, who had been refuting him moments ago, hadn't expected it.

But the next second, cold sweat began to seep down the side of her forehead.

Knowing Danzō all too well, she realized one terrifying possibility.

When Danzō stops arguing with you, it means only one thing—

At the same moment, Mitokado Homura also ...

"Kiyosuke-sensei, what should we do next?" Hinata asked.

Kiyosuke sat beside Mei Terumi and said, "Don't overthink it. Tonight we'll rest in Kirigakure, then leave tomorrow."

"Okay."

"Alright, alright — first, let's eat." Mei Terumi clapped her hands, and the household servants brought out dishes with Kirigakure characteristics.

Seafood made up a large portion, though there was also some meat and vegetables, just fewer in number.

"Huh, where are Uncle and Aunt?...

394 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

"That's the Second Mizukage!"

The moment she saw him, Terumī Mei recognized the man before her as none other than Hōzuki Gengetsu, the Second Mizukage of Kirigakure. She rushed to Kiyosuke's side and asked,

"Kiyosuke, what's going on? Why has the Second Mizukage, who passed away long ago, been resurrected?"

"Edo Tensei," Kiyosuke replied calmly. "Kabuto Yakushi used Edo Tensei to bring your Second Mizukage back. By the way, wasn't your Kirigakure's corpse disposal unit sup...

"You mean the cook made a scene at my Exchange?!"

Deep underground, Black Zetsu stared at White Zetsu, who had come to report, incredulous — a huge question mark appearing on his brow.

It turned out the White Zetsu who had been in the Exchange earlier hadn't left quietly; he had sneaked into the hall to check the identity of the troublemaker.

What he discovered was a problem: the one causing a ruckus at the Exchange was none other than Uchiha Renya!

Keep in mind — ...

"You—what do you think you're doing?!"

The group of bounty hunters looked at the straw-hatted youth standing before them with faces full of fear; Scar-faced burly man's normally ruddy complexion went completely pale.

Most people present were at best on par with Scar-faced burly man in strength, and the vast majority were even weaker than him.

They all knew their fate wouldn't be any better than the scar-faced man's…

For a moment, fear and despair filled the entire ...

"Fufufufufufu… hahahahahahaha!!!"

New World, Dressrosa.

Above the royal palace, a burst of hearty, triumphant laughter echoed through the air.

Countless bikini-clad girls frolicked in the swimming pool below. Sitting cross-legged on the main seat, a man with an arrogant grin held a newspaper in one hand, laughing uncontrollably.

Around him, all sorts of people gathered, watching their young master's joy with curiosity written on their faces.

Naruto stopped a pretty young woman on the street and asked shyly,

"Excuse me, do you know where the Daimyō's mansion of the Land of Birds is?"

The young lady gave him a curious look, then pointed in a clear direction.

"This is just an ordinary town in the Land of Birds. If you're looking for the Daimyō, you'll need to head to the capital. See that main road? Follow it over a few mountains and you'll get there."

Hearing her directions, Naruto thanked her repeatedly.<...

The masked man appeared out of nowhere and immediately grabbed the three figures trapped inside the Dust Release!

A spatial vortex spiraled open again—

He was trying to escape!!

However, how could Shinju allow him to leave so easily? His hands came together in a single seal.

The white Dust Release cube compressed, then detonated!

"Boom!!!"

When the smoke cleared—

The people inside were gone.

As for whether those wrapped within the Dust Relea...

Navy Headquarters.

"Heh—"

Sengoku hung up the Den Den Mushi and gave a soft chuckle.

The Navy was about to annihilate two Yonko crews at once — and at a time like this...

You want me to keep people back? Heh!

Do you realize that taking out two Yonko crews in one blow...

Would instantly wipe out nearly half of the top fighting power in that chaotic stretch of the New World?

This is the perfect moment for the Navy to push into the N...

The King's Plateau.

"Fufufufufu..."

Inside a lavish palace, Doflamingo sank deep into his sofa.

With one hand pressed against his forehead, he wore a bitter smile.

Before him, a video Den Den Mushi was broadcasting the images from Marineford.

As one of the emperors who had ruled the seas, the Marines' victory did not surprise him.

That old man Whitebeard was, after all, a relic of the previous er...

"What's your name, kid?"

"Asakawa Kiyosuke."

Kiyosuke turned his head, narrowly dodging Hōzuki Gengetsu's sneak attack, and sprinted toward the direction of Kirigakure.

Boom!

Several trees were sliced clean in half as a torrent of water surged forward.

There was no way to block this head-on. The jutsu's cutting force was similar to Tobirama Senju's Water Severing Wave—sharp and powerful, but not hard to dodge if one was fast enough.

Kiyosuke's body burst...

392 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

"Is that so? Since when did Konoha have this kind of kekkei genkai?"

Gengetsu rubbed the mustache on his chin, clearly intrigued.

"Who knows."

Kiyosuke narrowed his eyes. The moment he noticed Gengetsu's body moving uncontrollably again, darting toward him, he immediately followed suit. Their movements were lightning fast as the two clashed once more.

Bang!

Their fist and leg collided midair with a sharp crack.

"Not bad, you've got some strength in...

Rushing out of the house, Kushina had already prepared herself to storm the Anbu before she even arrived at the scene.

But the moment she saw her daughter, she realized that the situation at the scene was slightly different from what she had imagined.

Naruto and Karin were squatting by the fire, observing the fish they were roasting. The Third Hokage stood nearby with two middle-aged strangers, seemingly deep in conversation.

All she knew was that the expressions on the face...

When Hiashi finally returned to the clan compound with his men, the two elders had already left.

Seeing Hyūga Sōgen calmly sitting on the porch, admiring the flowers and plants in his small courtyard, Hiashi knew he had come one step too late.

"Hiashi, as clan head, why are you in such a rush? It's unbecoming of your station."

Sōgen glanced at him with a blank expression, reaching for the watering can nearby to tend to his beloved flowers.

"It's nothing. I just hear...

"Kakashi, what do you mean by this mission?"

"Terrain survey? But this place is inside the Land of Fire's borders, isn't it?"

Uchiha Obito stared at the location marked on the mission scroll, puzzled. To him, even if it were a survey it should be done outside the Land of Fire.

Why would they conduct a survey inside their own country?

Kakashi looked at Obito's bewildered face and, inwardly frustrated, nearly wanted to kick him.

Is this kind of mission a terrain su...

Evening, at the Gekko household.

"So the war is starting again?"

"Mm. I had wanted to stay in the village for a while, but looks like that's not going to happen."

"Ugh... when will this war ever end..."

"Heh, once I get back it'll almost be over. Before that though..."

Exhaust yourself! Work until you drop!

The next day, Gekko Chizan looked at the sleeping Pakura and grinned, then used Flying Thunder God to appear in the Hokage Building.

The moment Rocks laid eyes on Kaito, he tried to use his teleportation ability to escape again—but to his horror, he realized his power no longer worked!

Kaito casually tossed a round, purple Devil Fruit in his hand, the surface patterned with jagged lines. It was none other than the Munch-Munch Fruit, Rocks' own ability.

Rocks stared in disbelief at the fruit in Kaito's hand. Suddenly, he clutched his stomach and fell to his knees. After a few dry heaves, he began vomiting up s...
