Before the massive flood hit, Kakashi's team had Sasori pinned down inside a cave.
Just as they were about to finish him off, the sudden surge of water scattered everyone.
Technically, they could have finished the job even in the water, but Sasori was… a tricky one. The guy had turned his own body into a puppet.
As long as his core remained intact, he could transfer into any other puppet and revive himself.
Because of this, Kakashi's team ended up catching a few empt...

Naruto, standing below, was completely dumbfounded.
No wonder during these past three years of training trips, he always caught Shinju staying up late, scribbling and tinkering with stuff in the middle of the night. Turns out, he was working on insanely high-tech weapons like this!
"Hey, couldn't he have just made this thing out of steel instead?"
Naruto asked curiously, glancing at Sai beside him.
Sai shook his head.
"Shinju said that's not possible for now. The...

Amidst the gazes of expectation and respect, the one who stepped onto the podium was not the acting Hokage, but a familiar, aged figure.
Sarutobi Hiruzen.
His speech was the same as always, preaching the so-called Will of Fire.
This rhetoric had long grown stale—not only had the parents present heard it countless times, but even their parents before them must have listened to it many times over.
Nara Shikaku and the others were puzzled. They couldn't understand what ...

No matter how vigilant Ōnoki was, he no longer had the energy to concern himself with the affairs of Konoha.
The reason was simple: the always disagreeable Rōshi had disappeared.
As the Jinchūriki of the Four-Tails in Iwagakure, Rōshi should have remained in the village. However, because he constantly butted heads with Ōnoki, neither side yielding an inch, the two stubborn men grew increasingly estranged.
This estrangement led to Rōshi keeping away from the central are...

When he heard the words "lend a hand," both Yahiko and Nagato couldn't help but shiver slightly.
Was this really help? Especially Yahiko—he looked at the shoe print on his body and the faint pain radiating from that small bruise and felt like he really didn't need any help at all.
Right after, Gekko Chizan smiled faintly and continued his speech.
"But looking at your situation, it doesn't seem that great either. Not only are your numbers small, but you also got beaten up."...

"No… this smell…"
Covering his nose and mouth, Kiyosuke instantly realized that once Orochimaru's snake blood came into contact with the air, it became highly toxic. He needed to leave—fast.
"It's already too late."
The severed snake head that should have been dead suddenly lifted itself up.
"The fluids of this white snake release a powerful anesthetic once exposed to the air. I am immortal. There's no way you can kill me!"
Kiyosuke crouched, trying to move...

Kiyosuke patted the thick scales along Black Snake's body as he spoke.
"Tch, you don't need to tell me that. I'll crush him myself. I've had enough of him for a long time."
Black Snake let out a snort, coiling his massive body tightly, every muscle drawn taut like an arrow nocked on a bowstring, ready to launch.

The ground beneath Gekko Chizan's feet shattered inch by inch.
He was already standing at the edge of the cliff, and now he completely lost his footing.
"Damn it! Yugito! You traitorous student!"
It turned out the collapse was because Yugito had used the power of the Tailed Beast, making her strength too overwhelming, directly shattering the ground beneath her.
Because of this, when Gekko Chizan applied the slightest force, the entire patch of land instantly broke apar...

"The nature of the Infinite Tsukuyomi?"
Obito frowned. Wasn't the Infinite Tsukuyomi just a large-scale genjutsu?
Kaito gently brushed aside the strands of hair on his forehead.
A blood-red Rinnegan with tomoe opened.
The sight made both Minato and Obito freeze in place. That crimson Rinnegan radiated a soul-piercing power—just looking at it felt like they were about to be drawn in.
Fortunately, Kaito closed the Rinnegan on his forehead almost immediately, allo...

Inside the Hokage's office, Minato was buried under a mountain of paperwork.
As the "Fastest Man in Konoha," his reviewing speed was certainly not slow, but he couldn't withstand documents being delivered in pile after pile. In the end, Minato slumped powerlessly against the back of his chair.
He tilted his head back and let out a sigh.

Obito released his intangibility and lunged straight at Kaito.
Kaito gave a faint smile, then drove his leg hard into Obito's stomach, sending him flying.
The terrifying force nearly knocked Obito unconscious on the spot. If not for the support of Hashirama's cells, that single blow would have ended the fight already.
Staggering, Obito pushed himself up from the ground and once again activated intangibility, finally allowing him a small sense of relief.

"Then come at me."
Orochimaru slapped his stomach and opened his mouth wide. A snake as thick as a man's wrist slithered halfway out of his throat.
The serpent's jaws opened, spitting out a gleaming sword. Orochimaru caught it in his hand. The blade shimmered in the sunlight, cold and merciless, as if it could cut through anything.
Gripping the Kusanagi Sword, Orochimaru said:
"Come then, my beloved disciple!"

Orochimaru had once infiltrated Kumogakure for a single purpose to collect the genetic information of the Eight-Tails, so that he could clone a portion of it.
And he succeeded.
Because of the Eight-Tails, Blue B had long suffered from mental illness, often needing medication and rest. Taking advantage of one such moment, Orochimaru ambushed him, releasing the Eight-Tails. The rampage that followed cost Blue B his life.
From the horn that had been severed, Orochimaru took a f...

But then, Shinju suddenly noticed something shocking—there was no chakra fluctuation coming from Gaara's body at all!
Dead?!

Up ahead, Deidara made a welcoming gesture, speaking with inexplicable excitement.
As he talked, his gaze was locked firmly on Shinju, who stood at th...

For Itachi's request, Shinju had no reason to refuse, so he nodded and agreed.
"Sasuke has always been my friend."
Hearing this, Itachi finally relaxed.
He raised his hand, and in his palm appeared a single crow.
"In that case, I'll give you another gift."
The crow flapped its wings and landed gently on Shinju's shoulder.
In the blink of an eye, the crow vanished.
Immediately after, Shinju was forced out of the genjutsu space.

She hadn't had enough time to play at home yet and had no desire to go to school so soon.

Kizaru lazily drooped his eyelids, letting out a long, drawn-out yawn as he slumped weakly on the sofa.

The Third Mizukage scanned the surroundings, his gaze falling on Kiyosuke. There was a vague sense of familiarity, as though he had seen him somewhere before, but the memory refused to surface.

But he also raised an unavoidable question.
"With just our two villages, can we really withstand attacks from Earth, Lightning, and Water?"

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku's voice was filled with confusion.
Inside his mind, an old, long-buried memory resurfaced.
Years ago, the Navy's chief scientist — Vegapunk — had once eagerly presented a small invention to the top brass: a submarine.
