"What kind of king do you want to be?!"

"..."

Luffy lifted his head, gazing up at the azure sky.

His mind was a storm of thoughts.

The sky was still as free as ever.

But he... he felt anything but free.

He had to admit, ever since he set out to sea, everything... had gone terribly wrong.

No crew.

No food.

The only companion he had, a red-nosed clown he'd stumbled into while fleeing the Marines, had vanished under the shadow of his grandfat...

"Zephyr, for my sake… train him to death!!!"

"..."

Zephyr showed a trace of surprise as he looked at his old comrade.

"Some kind of grudge?"

Garp squeezed out three words through his teeth.

"Biological grandson."

"???"

Zephyr's astonishment deepened. Biological grandson, and he wanted him trained to death?

"He keeps making a fuss about becoming Pirate King."

"..."

Zephyr was silent for a moment. Then he patted Garp on the shoulder....

Kumogakure.

As soon as A returned, he announced that he would no longer serve as Raikage. Naturally, the position of the next Raikage fell to Darui.

Though Darui tried every possible way to dissuade him, A had already made up his mind. In his view, aside from the Hokage, the existence of the other Kage didn't hold much meaning anymore. Out of sight, out of mind.

He figured he might as well spend more time with Killer B.

That day, the two of them were s...

Seeing that Madara had fallen silent, Kaito didn't press him further. With a flicker, he disappeared.

He returned home and found Kaguya sitting quietly on the sofa, watching TV.

Speaking of which, the technology in the shinobi world had always been a mystery. You could see power poles along the streets, televisions inside the homes of ordinary residents, and yet warfare was still fought as though it were stuck in the cold weapon era.

That point was slightly improved in Borut...

291 The Shimura Has Ice Release

Looking at what Takeshi called his "miserable state," Obito hesitated for a moment.

"Rather than saying you got beaten up, it's more like..."

In the end, Obito didn't finish what he wanted to say. He was afraid that if Takeshi heard it, he'd get pounded for real.

Kakashi, standing nearby, spoke bluntly.

"Too fake. It's not even as good as that ice clone you used to trick Obito back then."

Kakashi's words hit Obito right where it hurt. He jumped up, ready to fight...

290 The Shimura Has Ice Release

Orochimaru frowned as he saw Anko off.

Takeshi had finally agreed to her wish and arranged for this restless companion of his to be assigned to frontline missions.

But Orochimaru could see right through it—Anko's talent was only above average. As long as she stayed by his side, she would be under his protection. But if she really went out there and fought alongside other shinobi...

"God, how dare you?"

"No... you actually dared... You even dared to steal people, let alone a Tailed Beast..."

"And you're even skilled in sealing techniques... Tailed Beasts...."

"Chizan, I've realized, you're really like a deep pool. No matter how much I try to explore, you always show me this isn't your deepest part...."

Pakura looked at Chizan with a trace of awe in her eyes. She had thought she already understood this man before her well enough.

But now it s...

Just as Gekko Chizan was about to speak, a sudden system notification interrupted his thoughts.

The surroundings were a wreck, and the stench in the air silently announced Kiyosuke's crime.

He hauled out the half-dismembered Kakuzu by the upper torso and said,

"Alright, this guy ran fast — I blew off his lower half. If I'd been a second slower he probably would've escaped. Heh, my speed still wins!"

"Whatever. This wasn't done by Konoha anyway. Let's go, let's go — report back. By the way, what do we do with this guy?" Asuma asked.

"Of course we hand him over...

"Kiyosuke, did you just strip him? You're dead!"

Kiyosuke smirked. His eyes flicked over the stitches crisscrossing Kakuzu's body, then down to the Akatsuki cloak burned to ash on the ground.

Yeah, victory was in the bag.

"You insane? Looking to die?"

Kakuzu glared at Kiyosuke, clearly irritated, but no matter what he tried, he just couldn't put him down.

Kiyosuke chuckled nastily.

"I don't know..."

"!!!"

The name Bullet struck the stagnant pool of Eternal Hell like a boulder.

For a powerhouse of his caliber, "I don't know..." was itself an answer.

It meant... no confidence.

No confidence in beating Hawke...

"Gulp—"

Somewhere in the darkness, someone swallowed hard.

Every pirate locked up in Eternal Hell had once been a force that made the seas tremble.

Some wielded strange Devil Fruit powers, some were peerless sw...

"Demon's—Cannon!!!"

Bullet poured his ambition of surpassing Roger, along with all the horror he felt toward the monster before him, into this single punch!

Pitch-black Conqueror's Haki turned into tangible black lightning, coiling around his fist.

Even before the strike landed, space itself began to twist.

Every legendary pirate in all of Eternal Hell held their breath in that instant.

"..."

Hawke quietly watched.

He could see the flow of ...

"So… now you can finally tell us your true identity, right?"

The lively banquet was still going, but the moment Rayleigh spoke those words, everyone—whether they had been drinking, eating meat, or chatting—fell silent.

With eyes full of curiosity, they all turned to stare at Orin, who was still devouring food like a madman.

At this moment, Orin had already calmed himself down, no longer overly emotional.

Instead, he just kept eating, replenishing his nearly deple...

"Fish-Man Karate?!!"

"He even knows that!!!"

When they saw Orin assume a striking stance, executing the flawless movements of Fish-Man Karate, Roger and the others were left dumbfounded.

They even suspected that Orin could reproduce all of their techniques.

And clearly, that was exactly his intention.

Withdrawing his fist to his waist, a ripple like flowing water spread out as Orin suddenly punched forward, colliding head-on with Sunbell's Punch.

The moment...

"Don't say any more — let's go back first."

The lead Sunagakure Jonin wanted to continue speaking, but Chiyo cut him off.

If he kept talking he might draw the young man's displeasure, and then they'd all have to explain what happened here.

Don't let their numbers fool you; judging by the strength the youth just showed, dealing with them wouldn't be difficult…

"They wouldn't dare act up with me here," the lead Jonin tried to reassure them, completely missing Chiyo's...

"Who are you?!"

A black-haired youth suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the middle-aged man's escape route. When he caught sight of the Leaf forehead protector on the youth's brow, his face instantly darkened.

Damn that Kazekage! To wipe them out, he actually went so far as to cooperate with Konoha.

If not for the coup's exposure, he would already be the new Kazekage by now.

In Deidara's last battle against Shinju, he hadn't even seen Shinju use many Wood Release techniques.

But the moment that enormous wooden dragon appeared ahead, he immediately turned tail and ran!!

Even while fleeing, he didn't forget to shout to his two comrades:

At the center of the lake.

The clay bomb Deidara had just dropped exploded right next to the Three-Tails' head.

The sudden blast struck the unprepared beast, leaving it dazed.

On the shore, Tobi and Sasori exchanged a glance.

"As expected, when it comes to dealing with giant monsters, we need someone like Deidara-senpai, whose attacks cover a huge area. ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)"

"One shot, perfect finish!"

Tobi cheered.

Sasori nodded in agreemen...

"Old man, long time no see."

Kiyosuke released the immobilized Hidan and turned toward Kakuzu.

"So it's you again… Asakawa Kiyosuke, and Sarutobi Asuma with a thirty million ryō bounty. The two of you together—looks like I'll be making a fortune today."

Kakuzu's tone was calm and collected, as if his confidence in victory was absolute.

"Oh? Sounds like you've already decided we're done for. What gives you that kind of confidence? Is it your Earth Grudge Fear?"

357 Naruto the Flame-Flame Fruit

Shizune sighed helplessly as she saw Kiyosuke and Tsunade quickly come to an agreement.

"Won't this draw the attention of the Exchange?"

The underworld was tangled and dangerous. If Konoha provoked those people, it could cause them serious trouble.

Kiyosuke smirked.

"Relax, Shizune. As long as Konoha doesn't fall, those guys wouldn't dare go that far."

Gekko Chizan, having mastered the Transparent Release, slowly appeared before the three of them.

As for the missing Gekko Hayate, he didn't ask.

Who knew if the kid had gone off to play somewhere?

After all, when he was Gekko Hayate's age, he was almost never home, always looking for ways to boost his attributes.

...

"Whoa! Holy crap!"

"Chizan's alive! Back from the dead!"

Ebisu did a backflip and landed steadily, staring wide-eyed at Gekko Chizan. 2025-09-25 05:05:01 +0000 UTC View Post

As her gaze swept across the scene, Tagorihime immediately understood why she had this sudden realization.

"This isn't… Orochimaru?"

"It's been a long time. Looks like you're still unwilling to accept the Ryūchi Cave inheritance, huh?"

Orochimaru's pupils shrank sharply as he looked at the snake princess before him.

He had been to Ryūchi Cave before. Of course, he knew exactly who this was—this was one of the high-ranking snake princesses of Ryūchi Cave.

289 The Shimura Has Ice Release

Inside the research bureau, Orochimaru gazed at the creation born of his painstaking effort, his eyes flashing with unprecedented brilliance.

Just as he had predicted, there was an indescribable connection between the Uchiha and Hashirama's cells.

The violent life force contained in Hashirama's cells, when in contact with Uchiha blood, actually began to stabilize little by little.

"How I wish I had a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan to complete my research."

Orochimaru flic...

Deidara's bombing spree was truly exhilarating.

There was little threat from the ground, and very few attacks could pose a direct danger to him.

That was until the Sunagakure shinobi rolled out their giant siege crossbows.

Although Deidara's way of tossing bombs made him look like an idiot, his mind was surprisingly sharp.

The moment he saw the crossbows, he knew his mission was over. It was time to leave this nursery where he had been testing his art.

On the Hokage Rock, Madara stood alone, gazing down at Hashirama's carved face.

No one knew how long he had been there, or what exactly he was thinking.

Kaito appeared beside Madara, smiling as he asked,

"How've you been these past few days, staying in Konoha?"

Madara also smiled faintly. He lifted his head to glance across Konoha, and said softly,

Obito glanced at Kakashi, then used Kamui and disappeared.

After Obito left, Minato asked,

"Kaito, who exactly is that Jigen?"

Kaito turned his head and looked at Kaguya. Under her curious gaze, he said,

"He comes from the same place as Kaguya."

Kaguya's expression changed. If he came from the same place as her, didn't that mean Jigen was also part of the Ōtsutsuki clan?

Including Kaito, that meant two Ōtsutsuki had arrived on this tiny planet?

"Why is the gate wide open?"

Walking into the fortress prison, Kakashi asked with suspicion.

Then he noticed the strange, twisted experimental subjects in the surrounding cells.

"So this must be one of Orochimaru's fortresses… truly insane, turning people into things like this." Kakashi frowned.

Beside him, Sai asked, "But why is the gate here open, and some of the buildings empty… wait, why is there even an operating table set up here?! (꒪⌓꒪)"

Kabuto really couldn't figure it out.

What on earth had that boy Yukimaru gone through? After a moment of confusion, he actually tried to commit suicide!!

That kid had special chakra, able to control the Three-Tails to a certain extent.

That was the very reason Orochimaru-sama had ordered Kabuto to bring him along with Guren to capture the Three-Tails.

If he died now, before the plan had even begun, then their mission was already doomed to fail...

At the border of the Land of Fire, a middle-aged man wearing a Sunagakure forehead protector asked coldly, glaring at the young girl in front of him.

On his forehead protector, a deep scratch had been carved across the symbol—proof of a rogue ninja.

Behind the man stood two more defectors from Sunagakure, both watching the girl with hostility.

Ever since he snuck out of the village last time, that old man had made Renya promise that whenever he left the village he must first report to him.

Renya could only report to Senju Tobirama at the office before accepting any mission.
