380 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

Within Kiyosuke's perception, the chakra of the Animal Path and its chameleon was crystal clear. Without wasting words, he hurled his spear with force.

Blood splattered instantly as flames seared into the chameleon's organs, forcing a shriek of agony out of it. The pain was so intense that its invisibility broke.

"Detected already?"

The Animal Path stepped out from the chameleon's body, his expression flat. Behind him, the beast vanished.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

A mas...

"Foam?"

Looking closely, it wasn't water that the giant lobster spat out, but a torrent of bubbles. They surged forward, washing away the oil that covered Konan's body.

"As expected of your student, Jiraiya-sama. He even knows your weakness. Looks like you didn't hold anything back when teaching him."

Kiyosuke smiled.

"Of course not! When I, a Sage, teach a student, I teach them thoroughly."

Jiraiya grinned proudly, even though he had just been countered. Somehow...

Tonbee swept his gaze across everyone and said,

"Now that the young lady is safe, hurry and come back to the village with me. Everyone there is waiting anxiously."

"I don't want to go back."

Tsuchigumo Hotaru said stubbornly.

Then, she repeated to Tonbee everything she had just told Shinju and the others.

After listening, Tonbee only sighed.

"We're all family… I never thought they would actually do something like this, just because they fear your power, y...

The sudden turn of events made Utakata, who was about to leave, stop in his tracks.

He turned his head toward Shinju and asked, "Could it be that Hotaru is in trouble?"

Although they hadn't spent much time together, he remembered Tsuchigumo Hotaru—an innocent and lively girl who liked to call him "sensei" and pestered him to teach her ninjutsu…

Shinju shook his head. "Not sure."

Naruto, standing nearby, asked, "In this situation, shouldn't we go check it out?"

"Stare—"

The massive projection Den Den Mushi opened its eyes.

In an instant, across every public square, tavern... even in the underworld, countless screens lit up simultaneously.

A broadcast sweeping across the entire world had begun.

Sabaody Archipelago.

Before a giant screen, a sea of heads gathered, packed so tightly they formed a black mass.

Pirates, bounty hunters, slave traders, ordinary residents—everyone craned their...

On the deck of the Red Force, the sea breeze carried a faint salty tang.

"Tap—"

Beckman, a cigarette between his lips, strode quickly into the captain's cabin and slapped a piece of intelligence onto the desk.

"Captain, the latest intel."

"Beckman..."

Shanks turned his head. "What's the situation?"

"Katakuri has already left Totto Land with the Big Mom Pirates' main force."

"That greedy woman Big Mom—she can't wai...

Amegakure

Rain poured endlessly from the sky, pounding against the muddy roads with dull thuds.

A man and a cat trudged slowly through the dim forest, each step sinking into the soft mud.

Renya tugged at the collar of his straw raincoat. The icy rain seeped through the gaps, sliding down his back, bringing with it a bone-chilling cold.

"Tch, the geography of Amegakure is even worse than I imagined."

He knew it rained all year in Amegakure, but he...

"Fat Cat, why did you follow me?"

Renya had just left the cave not long ago when a plump black cat appeared in front of him.

"Madara-sama told me to accompany you on your journey, meow." The scarred cat's eyes sparkled with joy.

Madara-sama really was too good to it!

Not only did it get paid vacation time, but it also got to eat delicious food every day. For it, this mission was practically a cushy job!

Especially since the food Renya cooked was the best it had e...

"Shocking!!! The Pirate King Who Ruled the New World, Defeated by the Celestial Dragons!!!"

"Collapse!!! The Pirates' Decline Shows No Sign of Stopping!!!"

"Who Is the Final Answer of the Era?? Rocks Defeated!!!"

Wrapped head to toe in bandages, a mummy-like figure lay flat on a recliner aboard the Oro Jackson.

Because in this world, Orin didn't have the power to command seagulls, he still had to pay for the papers.

When he finally got the newspaper and saw the h...

251 Roger Pirates Apprentice

Puaaah—!!!

Staring at his half-ruined body, Rocks' vision grew blurry.

That towering frame staggered, as if even just staying upright was a struggle. Rocks half-knelt on the ground.

What kind of joke is this…

This level of power?

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that more than half of God Valley had disappeared. Even the vast ocean behind it had been split in two, the lingering force preventing it from mending back together.

Such an ability… this ...

307 The Shimura Has Ice Release

Rain Country underground, Akatsuki stronghold.

In a flawless white room, without a single seam in sight, Jigen was elegantly savoring red wine, his chin resting on one hand as he thoughtfully gazed at Yōwan, who lay on the ground.

Draining the last of the wine in his glass, Jigen gently set the cup on the armrest of his chair and said coldly:

"I believe I've already said this before. What we need right now is to lie low and wait for me to find a suitable 'v...

306 The Shimura Has Ice Release

"That's Minato!"

"Great! Minato-sama has made his move!"

Some shinobi recognized the technique as Minato's and let out cheers.

Takeshi also breathed a sigh of relief that his "head" had been saved.

But that relief didn't last long. A huge threat was still circling in the sky above.

Having unleashed two Tailed Beast Bombs that failed to achieve their intended effect, Yōwan was furious—especially after spotting the distinct golden flash that belonged only to Min...

335 Scourge of the Ninja World

"Who!"

Feeling the slight pain on his head and a pile of building blocks on the floor, Fugaku jumped up at once, and even his Sharingan appeared.

"Damn it! Don't let me find out who did this!"

"You woke my son — I'll tear you apart!"

In Fugaku's mind, this had to be some jealous person playing a prank on him because he had a son.

He originally wanted to run around the house to see who it was, but suddenly Itachi's crying drew him in.

At that, Fugaku could...

Konohagakure, Hokage Building.

"Bounty hunters... mercenaries..."

"This must be Ōnoki's doing."

After listening to Gekko Chizan's report, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression turned unpleasant.

He had sent word to Takigakure about jointly holding the Chūnin Exams, yet that bastard actually spent money to hire people to assassinate his squad.

Instead, the only outcome was that the village head of Takigakure was killed.

As for this Kakuzu, he had ...

380 Starting from One Piece

The Ōtsutsuki Star had been completely ruined by Kaito, and he didn't linger there. He returned straight to Earth.

When Kaguya heard about the fate of the Ōtsutsuki Star, not only did she feel no sadness over losing her homeland, but she even looked delighted, as if she had finally avenged a great grudge.

After Kaito asked, he learned the truth: back in the Ōtsutsuki Clan, Kaguya had been considered a total weakling. And among the Ōtsutsuki, there was no such thing as bonds. T...

379 Starting from One Piece

Ōtsutsuki Kūshiki landed on the ground. Just as he was about to search for the Ten Tails that had burrowed underground, a violent explosion suddenly erupted behind him.

He whipped his head around and saw that in the center of the bone sphere that had wrapped around Kaito, a golden sun had appeared, and the entire sphere was beginning to dissolve.

Before he could react, the bone sphere evaporated completely, dispersing into wisps of gray smoke.

When the smoke cleared, Kaito...

378 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

Kiyosuke stretched his hand into the falling rain, his chakra immediately exposed to Pain's perception.

Atop the tallest tower in Amegakure, the man with the Rinnegan slowly rose to his feet. His voice, deep and commanding, echoed:

"Someone has infiltrated Amegakure, Konan."

Sheets of paper, each the size of a palm, fluttered into existence around him. They gathered and formed the figure of a blue-haired beauty. She nodded lightly.

"I'll go check it out."

Dusk had fallen. It was the witching hour.

The Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku was walking along the road out of Konoha when he ran into Kiyosuke.

"Isn't this Kiyosuke? Where are you off to this time?"

"Amegakure, in the Land of Rain," Kiyosuke replied.

Jiraiya's face stiffened, but then he forced a laugh.

"Hahaha, Kiyosuke, what business do you have in Amegakure? I'm going to gather material for my research. While I'm gone, I'll leave Konoha in your hands."

"Shit…"

"Looks like… Orin really overdid it this time…"

Forcing down another mouthful of blood, the twenty-two-year-old Orin once again felt as if his organs were shifting inside him.

Creating clones was already a technique that consumed tremendous amounts of stamina and mental energy. Just keeping the clones strong enough so they wouldn't immediately lose against opponents of the same level was already the limit.

And yet, the main body still had to face a monste...

Destroy heaven and earth?

That phrase was no longer enough to describe the current scene.

Compared to this, the Marineford War looked like child's play.

It wasn't that Marineford hadn't been fierce, but this one-against-four battle in God Valley was on a whole other level!

Four Orins, identical in appearance but fighting with completely different styles, all turned to their respective opponents.

After the Warp-Warp Fruit awakened, once Orin truly touched upon a c...

"Renya, are you leaving or not?" Senju Hashirama grew anxious when he saw Renya still lingering.

If Renya didn't go now, he was afraid he would open his mouth to persuade him to stay.

Who could possibly refuse the company of someone who not only loved the village but was also a great cook?

But for the sake of Renya's safety, he had to grit his teeth and drive him out, lest his dear friend set his sights on him.

Renya: "???"

Something felt wrong. Judging by Hashir...

During the following week, Renya stayed inside the cave, preparing meals for the two of them.

When he had nothing to do, he would go to the river to catch fish. But Hashirama and Madara refused to eat fish no matter what, so in the end, the fat cat Scar got to enjoy them instead.

When Scar saw the pile of grilled fish, it was completely dumbfounded. If Uchiha Madara hadn't been watching, it would have abandoned him and followed Renya.

After all, Madara-sama only ever gave it...

Hawke looked down over the white ocean formed by one hundred thousand elite soldiers and felt a calmness settle in his chest.

This—this was the Navy's foundation.

Their opponent, the Whitebeard Pirates, had mustered over 1,600 men at headquarters, organized into sixteen squads and commanding forty-three New World pirate crews—a total fighting force of roughly fifty thousand.

Whether in top-tier power or sheer legion size, the Navy held the absolute advantage.

The fleet of the G-3 Branch slowly docked, and the heavy metal gangway was lowered.

On the pier stood a row of figures that could make any pirate tremble in fear.

The top brass of Headquarters, all gathered, silently waiting.

Shinju: "…"

Shinju couldn't quite figure out the thought process of these bandit-nin, but he still said sternly:

"Even if you shave your heads and become monks, the punishment you deserve won't be reduced in the slightest. ╰_╯"

Bandit-nin A replied:

"Of course we know that. Shaving our heads is just a way to fulfill our vow. •﹏•"

Shinju said nothing more. He found a suitable spot and got ready to lie down and rest for a while.
