267 The Shimura Has Ice Release

The ice spear danced deftly in Takeshi's hands, each strike aimed directly at Baki's vital points.

Barely dodging Takeshi's relentless assault, Baki gritted his teeth, searching desperately for an opening in his opponent's movements.

Unfortunately, Takeshi's small frame left him with no chance to counterattack.

He could only trade injury for injury.

Facing the spearhead that was nearly at his chest, Baki readied his wind blade, forced himself forward, and blocked the s...

266 The Shimura Has Ice Release

The participation of the Allied Forces completely reversed the decline of the Daimyō's government in the Land of Lightning.

The aggressive advance of Kumogakure was forced to halt, and they shifted to relying on their strongholds for defensive counterattacks.

Their victory was cut short, while casualties continued to soar.

Many Kumogakure shinobi who were loyal to the Fourth Raikage began to wonder whether they should continue obeying the orders of the Ninja Committee.

Blazing flames surged through the canyon in an instant. The fire roared upward, and the temperature rose sharply, turning the entire gorge into a hellish inferno.

And yet, within this purgatory, the ghostly army moved unhindered, advancing steadily forward.

They raised their weapons—glowing red-hot from the searing heat—and charged toward Kiyosuke.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The ghost soldiers stamped against the ground, their heavy bodies leaving behind a series of clea...

"Sigh, forget it. When we return to Konoha, don't go around talking nonsense, alright?"

Kiyosuke shifted the topic and asked,

"Have you packed all the experiment data?"

Sasuke handed him a space scroll.

"Everything's inside."

Kiyosuke tucked the scroll away.

"Step aside. I'm going to blow this whole place up."

Sasuke and Suigetsu immediately moved back. Kiyosuke created a clone and sent it into the lab. Then he led the two of them out. Moments later, ...

"Akatsuki. Its literal meaning is 'dawn,' symbolizing light."

"I think the future you all wish to create, your ideals... this name fits them perfectly."

"Akatsuki—clearing the fog to see the light. Tsk tsk, I have to say, my level of culture is just too high."

Gekko Chizan was already drowning in self-satisfaction, completely ignoring the fact that he had just copied this straight from the original story.

After all, he was the first to say it.

That meant the na...

"Me? I said it was just a coincidence I passed by. Do you believe that?"

"Earlier, I was fighting Sunagakure on the battlefield in the Land of Rivers. But because of a mission, I passed through the Land of Wind into the northern Bird Country. Yugito is my student and has always been following me."

"If I want to return to the Land of Fire, the easiest route is through the Land of Rain."

Gekko Chizan took out his Konoha forehead protector and then began spinning the story he h...

After Naruto understood the whole story, he launched into a "Talk no Jutsu" against Obito, leaving him utterly ashamed.

Minato looked at his wayward disciple and said,

"Obito, what are your plans from now on? Why don't you stay in Konoha with Itachi? The Uchiha compound is still yours to return to."

Obito slowly shook his head and said,

"Sensei, I'm not like Itachi. I'm a sinner. Please… lock me away in prison. That's the only place left for me."

Kaito stood ne...

Back at the Hokage Building, Kaito had just sat down when Minato suddenly rushed in, dragging a coffin along with him.

"Kaito! I brought Kushina's coffin for you!"

Kaito glanced at the coffin and noticed there was still dirt clinging to the lid, clearly freshly dug out.

Naruto followed right behind the coffin, looking visibly emotional.

"Kaito-senpai! Dad said you're going to bring Mom back to life—thank you so much!"

Kaito shook his head helplessly. With a cas...

Very quickly, everyone in the Kazekage's office was evacuated.

The senior officials of Sunagakure exchanged confused glances, all of their eyes landing on Shinju.

"You brat, you actually placed a Flying Thunder God seal in the Kazekage's office — what the hell are you planning?!"

This was not something to joke about!!

The office of a village's Kage was one of the most classified, highly secured places in existence.

And yet, this guy had marked it with Flying Th...

Gaara slowly opened his eyes, confusion flickering within them.

Then, he noticed a figure leaning over him.

Fair skin, short, clean-cut hair… sharp brows, deep eyes, thin lips, and a high, straight nose.

That face was flawless.

For a moment, Gaara genuinely thought he was looking at an angel.

In his dazed vision, the red-haired boy seemed to emit a soft glow.

He illuminated the darkness, spreading his wings, showering Gaara with a warm, gentle radiance......

"Friends…? They're actually friends?"

This answer genuinely surprised Sengoku, but at the same time, it filled him with a sense of joy.

He hadn't expected this at all—

That within the Marines, there would actually be someone who could be called a friend by Orin!

Meanwhile, Doll was completely unaware of the thoughts swirling inside Sengoku's mind and continued speaking enthusiastically, describing in vivid detail—

How powerful Orin was, how he looked when t...

"Th-This…"

Hearing this, Sengoku was momentarily stunned, then immediately recalled the headache-inducing problem.

"…If possible, we should still try to get funding from the World Government."

Zephyr offered his suggestion, but Sengoku felt the chances were slim.

He vaguely understood one thing: the World Government's current financial situation wasn't exactly good. Otherwise, they wouldn't have cut the Navy's budget.

They had to deal with this chaotic era, w...

"Kid, why are you heading out on another mission again?!"

Inside the Hokage's office, Senju Tobirama frowned deeply as he glared at Renya, his tone dripping with frustration.

He had already lost count of how many times this brat had gone out on missions lately.

Every time Renya returned from completing one mission, he didn't even rest for a single day before taking another. Over and over, the cycle repeated.

The problem was that each mission took at least three to five...

"Hmph, this kid is getting bolder and bolder."

Uchiha Madara crossed his arms, looking down at Renya from above with a sharp gaze.

He pondered how he could possibly convince this kid to follow him.

As long as Renya was willing to stick by his side, they'd never have to wait so long for a decent meal again.

This kid… he genuinely appreciated him. He had to figure out a way to lure him over — there was no way he could just let Senju Tobirama benefit from him.

Grand Line, Paradise.

"Buzz—"

A pure-white ship, flying the flag of the World Government, was sailing arrogantly across the sea.

On the deck, three squads of CP0 operatives stood in strict formation, dressed in white suits. Beside them stood dozens of other intelligence agents from the CP system, the atmosphere tense and suffocating.

Three CP0 squad captains huddled together, whispering as they discussed the intelligence gathered from across the seas...

Vegapunk stared silently at the "old friend" standing before him — a man who would resort to violence if words failed.

Knows "a little" about fighting?

As the chief director of the Pacifista Project, Vegapunk knew exactly how terrifying Borsalino truly was.

A Logia-type user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, with the speed of light, the destructive power of light, and a mastery of swordsmanship and martial arts that defie...

"Hey, hey! Kakuzu! You still alive?!"

Hidan was still shouting, while Kaito narrowed his eyes. After a strange ripple swept through the air, Hidan's body suddenly split apart into four pieces. His dismembered body floated eerily in midair, looking grotesque and horrifying.

This time, Hidan was genuinely stunned. It wasn't as if he had never been dismembered before, but this was different—he didn't feel even the slightest bit of pain!

"What the hell did you do to me?!"

330 Starting from One Piece

At this moment, Hidan and Kakuzu were moving through a forest when Hidan suddenly turned to complain,

"Oi! This is all your fault! You insisted on going after that monk, and now look what happened! Leader wants us to infiltrate Konoha and gather intel!"

Kakuzu didn't even glance at him, replying flatly,

"That 'monk' you're talking about has a bounty of thirty million ryō. Even if I sold you, you wouldn't fetch that much."

"Tch! What use is money? My heart belongs only...

"I saw it..."

"So that's the Rinnegan... I don't see anything special about it..."

"Can that so-called Rinne Rebirth Technique really bring him back to life?"

Uchiha Makito was a practical man. He always felt that Madara was just bluffing. How could someone come back from the dead?

Wasn't that just nonsense?

"The Rinnegan is known as the Eye of Life and Death—the ultimate ocular power. Its wielder can automatically master all five chakra nature transformations,...

"What are you laughing at?"

"Hm? Did I laugh? No, you must have seen wrong."

Gekko Chizan quickly wiped the smile off his face, but the three people in front of him weren't buying it. All of them stared at him with wide eyes.

"You definitely laughed! And it was such a pervy laugh too!"

"Hmph! I really don't get it. How could someone like you have such an adorable student? God, the heavens are so unfair."

Yahiko suddenly thought of Yugito. Such a cute little girl....

"Fifth Mizukage? Ahhh—" Suigetsu Hōzuki dragged out his words with a mocking grin.

"So that lunatic finally kicked the bucket, huh?"

Suigetsu had no fondness for Karatachi Yagura. Everyone knew just how many innocent lives had been lost under his rule. It was also a fact that the Hōzuki clan was wiped out because of him.

Mei Terumī didn't get angry.

"Yagura did make many mistakes," she said calmly. "We're working hard to set things right. Suigetsu, as a descendant...

"Damn, that was disgusting."

Kiyosuke crawled out from the body of the White Phosphorus Snake, spitting out a mouthful of bloody water. The Mangekyō in his eyes faded back into three tomoe, slipping into cooldown. Fortunately, he had plenty of chakra, so the downtime wouldn't last too long—before long, he'd be able to use it again.

This move really was terrifying—Kotoamatsukami: Radiance. Different from the regular Kotoamatsukami.

265 The Shimura Has Ice Release

With both witness testimony and material evidence in hand, even two small underlings had been captured by Danzō.

For the sake of the Nankumo family's continued existence in the Land of Fire, the officials of the daimyō's mansion had no choice but to agree to Danzō's request for bandit suppression.

But "bandit suppression" was, in truth, nothing more than controlling this region.

As the forces supported by the Nankumo family were uprooted one after another, Konoha's shinob...

264 The Shimura Has Ice Release

Danzo's massive army was advancing at an abnormally slow pace.

This made Hizashi, who was well familiar with his style of command, sense a dangerous undertone.

On the other side, Kumogakure, after receiving Konoha's declaration of war, showed no real intention of actively preparing for battle. Other than deploying more shinobi to the outer strongholds of the village, most of their focus remained on domestic affairs.

Since the two sides had already torn off all pretense, Kumo...

"Thud——"

Kuma gently put down the book in his hand and looked at Kizaru, his face carrying a soft, calm smile.

"Borsalino, are you here to see me?"

"Indeed… it's almost time, you know…"

"..."

Kizaru stared at Kuma, who sat quietly on a metallic chair.

In his mind, fragments of long-forgotten memories resurfaced.

Back then… everyone sat together, sharing steaming-hot pizza, dancing to some meaningless, ridiculous choreography.

A streak of golden light sliced through the night sky, vanishing into the darkness above Marineford.

Sengoku stood by the window of his office, silently watching the light disappear into the distance.

The Marines… this colossal, intricate war machine that, for countless reasons, had never been able to operate at full capacity.

Tonight, for the first time, it was finally set in motion.

"Kid, hurry up! Madara-sama is waiting for you up ahead, nya."

Scar kept urging Renya along the entire way, terrified that arriving late would make Madara-sama unhappy.

As a loyal ninja cat, there was absolutely no way he could allow his master to get angry.

Especially when his master was Uchiha Madara!

"I know, stop rushing me already," Renya replied helplessly.

It wasn't like he wanted to be late either, but buying ingredients and cooking utensils had wasted a ...

The oven inside the dessert shop filled the air with a sweet, tempting aroma, and Renya couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This smells amazing!

His fingers tapped lightly on the counter as he calculated how many portions he should buy to take back.

"Customer, would you like—"

Before the clerk could finish speaking, Renya caught a familiar figure hurrying across the street out of the corner of his eye.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was walking quickly with an anxious expr...

"That feeling just now…"

"Was that Observation Haki?!!!"

Doll looked at her body in surprise. That sensation, invisible yet perceptible, felt as if she had truly grown an unseen eye.

And all of this was the power that Orin had unconsciously been pressuring her with, which awakened multiple times under extreme danger.

Even now, it was only at a beginner stage, sometimes responsive, sometimes not—but it was already considered awakened. With further training and use, ...

"Armament Haki: Tekkai!!!"

Although the Armament Haki quality was mediocre and only covered a small part of the abdomen, the color and texture were unmistakable!

Everyone present could see it clearly, especially Doll, who also completely relied on physical combat. Her eyes blazed with light as she stared intently at the "master instructor" Orin.

As expected!!!

Orin didn't lie yesterday!!!

If he said he would teach Haki, then he definitely would!
