179 Learning Ninjutsu in a Glance

The Shadow Imitation Jutsu Shinju used came from the Nara clan.

Normally, the Shadow Imitation Jutsu cast by the Nara clan depends on the user's chakra reserves and control precision, lasting about five minutes at most.

But Shinju's Shadow Imitation Jutsu was different. His body contained an enormous amount of chakra.

And his precision in controlling that chakra was terrifyingly fine-tuned.

That meant his Shadow Imitation Jutsu not only had incredible binding power, bu...

A few more seconds passed.

The badly wounded but now nearly healed Two-Tails' jinchūriki, Yugito Nii, slowly opened her eyes…

In front of her stood a handsome young man.

Yugito was nearly thirty years old, and as a perfect jinchūriki, she had no shortage of suitors from Kumogakure.

But none of those men had ever stirred her heart the way this boy did today…

Those bright, deep eyes made her lose herself for a brief moment the instant she awo...

East Blue.

On the boundless sea, a tiny fishing boat was fleeing for its life.

"Waahhh—!"

Luffy glanced back at the Marine patrol ship hot on his tail, his face full of frustration.

"Damn it!"

He rubbed his cheek, which was still throbbing in pain. That spot... had just been smashed by the fist of a hawkish Captain.

It hurt like hell!

The feeling was like being back in Foosha Village, reliving the terrifying days when his grandpa ed...

"You're not going to eat it?"

"Shhh—"

Everyone's gaze turned toward Hawke, seated at the head position.

Yes.

This was the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

One of the most powerful among the Logia fruits.

Was Hawke really not going to eat it?

"Ha—"

Leaning back on the sofa, Hawke only laughed and shook his head.

It wasn't until he had witnessed and obtained a true Admiral-level physique that he truly understood the massive gulf between Vice Admiral...

The three of them talked for a long time, mostly about things that had happened before Roger's death.

One way or another, the Golden Lion still managed to use his prestige as an overlord of the old era to draw quite a bit of investment from Orin.

In the end, it was because Orin was interested in those pseudo-Mythical Zoan powers. If they could create something like a yellow mouse that could generate electricity, Orin wouldn't mind capturing a few to play with.

He treated it ...

Looking at the Golden Lion Shiki in front of him, fist clenched as though brimming with boundless passion, Orin felt as if he had been pulled back into the days of the Edd War.

If he remembered correctly…

Back then, Shiki had tried to recruit Captain Roger with almost the exact same lines.

Orin had been there and overheard it himself. He didn't even bother to change his speech?

The corners of Orin's mouth twitched twice as he looked back at the Golden Lion with dead-...

"You think I can't deal with you just because of this, boy?"

Upon receiving the news, Uchiha Madara's lips curled into a cold, sinister smile.

Renya had gone out of his way to invite Danzo and Koharu along on this mission. That alone showed he valued them and didn't want to see them die just like that.

But precisely because he cared, Madara's attention turned to Danzo and Koharu.

Early morning, at Senju Tobirama's residence.

"Brat, where did you go today?"

Senju Tobirama leaned against the front gate, his red eyes staring straight at Renya.

He had returned from the office at night and had been waiting at the entrance until now.

Dawn was already breaking.

Renya hadn't expected this old man to wait outside the whole night, so he casually made up an excuse.

"I went to Yugakure to have a few drinks. When I woke up, it w...

Late at night, the Hokage's office was still brightly lit.

"Where the hell did that brat go?"

Senju Tobirama lifted his gaze to the darkening night outside the window and muttered.

After attending Hiruzen's wedding, Renya had completely vanished.

He hadn't even sent Tobirama his dinner tonight.

There wasn't a trace of him in the village—it seemed he had already left.

Tobirama had no mood to handle official work right now. All he wanted was to know where R...

Wasn't Hashirama-san already dead?

Then who was this standing in front of him?

Renya looked at Uchiha Madara in confusion, wanting to hear his explanation.

He had just been heartbroken about this not long ago.

Madara glared at Hashirama with a dark expression, then explained,

"I just wanted to see if that incident would trigger you into awakening the Mangekyō."

If Hashirama hadn't shown up just now, this brat might have succeeded in opening his eyes.

The sea was calm and sunlit, but suddenly—

A massive shadow descended, instantly covering the deck of the Moby Dick.

Panic broke out at once. The Whitebeard Pirates' crewmen all stared tensely at the sky, where a bird-like beast of colossal size blotted out the sun!

"What the hell is that!!!"

"A bird? You've gotta be kidding! It's as big as a Sea King!!!"

The underlings shouted in panic. The division commanders were calmer, bu...

As with most clashes between the strong, the final scene would usually end with both sides unleashing their ultimate moves—whoever couldn't endure would lose.

But Orin, who possessed advance previews, had already seen the outcome of the battle before the two ultimate attacks even collided.

"Not bad, Doffy. Giving the Seagull King a Mythical Zoan like this, isn't that a bit too much of a cheat code?"

"A fine match indeed."

In his calm eyes, scarlet light flared before...

However, a golden light had already exploded in her vision.

Kizaru's right foot, wrapped in particles of light, slammed hard into York's face.

Hawke's words left Sengoku in silence.

Once again, he subconsciously weighed things back and forth.

To seize those who possessed rare Devil Fruits and lock them away in the sunless depths of the sea had indeed always been the strategy of the Marines, and even the World Government.

But what was the result?

Did this sea become peaceful?

No!

From the era of Rocks, to the era of Roger, and now to this Great Pirate Era set aflame by a single word fro...

Konoha.

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade sat reading the message delivered by the ANBU.

After scanning the words written on the secret scroll, Tsunade's expression grew complicated.

"Sending Shinju and Naruto on that kind of mission… That Raikage bastard was clearly planning to use them as tools to do his dirty work."

The Raikage's explanation was reasonable enough.

Though, he likely had some private motives hidden beneath it.

Shinju couldn't be bothered to think too deeply.

He had already set his bounty targets as Hidan and Kakuzu, and now with Kumogakure's commission, the goal remained unchanged—just icing on the cake.

After consulting with Naruto beside him, Shinju nodded.

"We'll take this commission."

The Raikage, generous as ever, saw Shinju accept the mission and...

"Sky Slash!"

The invisible slash cleaved Takeshi in half just as Setsuna had anticipated. Watching his opponent's body split in two, Setsuna felt an unprecedented surge of exhilaration.

Unfortunately, that exhilaration didn't last long. The creaking of Susanoo above reminded him that the Wind Release technique was not yet over.

Takeshi's body dispersed into smoke, revealing that the attack had struck nothing more than a shadow clone.

Last time when Takeshi fought against Setsuna, the latter had not yet awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

That defeat had been regarded by him as a disgrace.

The same went for Takeshi.

Kaito was thoroughly enjoying the sight. If things had developed normally, this kind of scene could only appear inside the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

He led the two women over. The moment Itachi saw Kaito, he immediately called out,

Kaito smiled lightly and said,

The Third Hokage's funeral ended, and the crowd slowly dispersed.

Naruto and Shinju stood in the rain, their eyes complicated, each lost in thought.

At some point, Tsunade came to their side, lightly patting Shinju on the shoulder as she asked,

It was a simple question, without the slightest intention of holding them back.

Just as Shizune once said, Tsunade truly respected Shinju as a student.
