Chapter 32: The Second Power is Activated
"Big Beauty! You know what? Today I learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu! We're getting closer and closer to our goal!"
Shiren rushed up to the fence.
The Two-Tails, who showed no fear toward Shiren and even grew closer as they made contact, wasn't sure how to respond.
The human and tailed beast were separated only by a fence, the last barrier between them, marking their division.
However, this fence was also the hardest ...

Chapter 31: Your Cheat Code Has Been Activated
Exhausted, Tonari returned to his room.
Looking at the books and scrolls neatly arranged on the table, he realized that in the past two weeks, he had memorized all their contents.
No joke—those who study medicine have the strongest memory!
Besides the books, there was also a piece of paper detailing the exercises he needed to focus on this week, along with the possible outcomes, all laid out clearly.
So, whil...

Chapter 30: Shimura Danzo
Tonari and Minato had been training in a small forest all day.
Since Minato didn't have any missions at the time, they had agreed to meet here regularly—training, not just meeting up.
Tonari's main focus was still on Taijutsu, but after meeting Minato, he decided to add ninjutsu to his training regimen as well.
Inspired by Minato, Tonari had figured out the main direction for his Taijutsu training.
Speed first, with body flicker ...

Chapter 29: Chakra Affinity
Minato Namikaze was also a genius who graduated early from the Ninja Academy.
However, the timing of his early graduation was awkward. It coincided with a particularly intense period of war between Konoha and other ninja villages, and many of Konoha's high-ranking ninjas had been dispatched to the front lines.
Since Minato graduated early, he wasn't assigned to a specific class and often joined different teams for temporary missions.

Chapter 28: Minato, the New Ally
"I see!
You've done an impressive amount of research on the 'Will of Fire'! Good! Very good! Excellent!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi repeated the word "good" three times to express his approval.
He knew that Tonari had been training hard, but he never expected him to have taken the time to study The Will of Fire, a book that Sarutobi himself had written.
It was as if Sarutobi had found a kindred spirit, someone who could relate to him....

In the past two weeks, Tonari had been living a very fulfilling life, with his progress being quite evident.
Although it had only been two weeks, he had greatly benefited from the subtle help of the Two-Tails and his body's exceptional recovery ability. No matter how exhausted he was from training, after a good night's sleep, he would wake up the next morning feeling revitalized.
So, even though his progress was rapid, Tonari was often crawli...

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.
Outside the city.
In an underground chamber.
Baishi, shirtless and breathing heavily, was doing push-ups while counting aloud: "496, 497, 498, 499, 500!"
After completing his 500 push-ups, Baishi leaped to his feet and exhaled deeply.
In an instant, a white mist shot out from his mouth and nose, extending a meter into the air.
It was winter in the Land of Iron, and the temperature h...

Inside the city.
In front of a blacksmith shop.
A young man with an ordinary appearance, carrying a long sword, skillfully lifted the thick door curtain and walked straight in.
Suddenly, the sound of clanging iron, accompanied by a burning heat that hit his face, reached his ears.
"Hey~, sir, you are here!"
At this time, a young boy, who looked like an apprentice, quickly approached him.
"Um!"
The young man nodded, responded casually,...

Tonari's body flew out and crashed solidly into a tree trunk in the courtyard with a dull thud.
However, Tonari didn't fall to the ground. Instead, he sprang to his feet in a fluid motion, clenched his fists, and charged back at the person who had just kicked him away.
At the same time, he couldn't help but shout, "Hahaha, Shikaku, have you not eaten? Why is your strength getting weaker and...

Tonari asked himself: Why does he want to learn ninjutsu and become stronger?
To survive!
Especially as the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, knowing the future trajectory of things, he absolutely needs the power to protect himself. It's not about pulling off an incredible counterattack, but at the very least, he should be able to escape safely, right?
And not to mention the future, after the Second Great Ninja War ends, the Third Gr...

There's one more crucial element: seals!
Or more precisely, the hand-seal techniques of the twelve basic ninja hand signs!
Each different seal represents a unique flow and operation of chakra. By combining different seals in various sequences, and adjusting for slight variations, you can release different ninjutsu, provided there's e...

The Next Morning
When Toneri slowly awoke, the sunlight was already streaming through the windows, warming the room.
He immediately got out of bed, leaping to the floor, only to notice something peculiar—his body felt significantly more agile than before.
Closing his eyes to calm his mind, he concentrated and carefully examined his physical condition.
He discovered a new energy flowing through his meridian...

Chakra is a powerful energy produced by combining the physical energy from the body's 130 trillion cells with spiritual energy.
It forms the foundation for over 90% of all ninjutsu.
Refining chakra requires intense mental focus to locate the energy source within the body.
Toneri had never formally refined chakra, but he had experienced its immense power firsthand—particularly the chakra of a Tailed Beast.

The battle continues.
Below.
The vines are still growing.
Veins throbbed at Bai Shi's temples, and his forehead was slick with sweat.
Originally, it was very difficult to control a vine to grow more than two hundred meters, especially while also taking into account the battle above.
In order not to reveal any flaws, he couldn't afford to be even slightly negligent in battle. You can imagine how taxing this was.
Additionally, he was still under the inf...

*"Shikaku, about Tonari—now that you and the others know, you absolutely cannot let it slip to anyone, not even those closest to you. I've already spoken with his parents; no one will interfere.
For the time being, Tonari will be living with us. You need to get along with him,"* Nara Shikashin said as he looked at his son.
Shikashin was quite satisfied with his son.
While Shikaku hadn't inherited his father's good looks, he at least inherited his intelligence.

Nara Shikashin stepped into the ward again, a look of helplessness and despair etched across his face.
His gaze landed on Tonari, who was curled up tightly in a quilt on the bed.
Yet don't be fooled by Tonari's obedient appearance and the emotionless expression in his eyes; these traits only highlighted his intelligence. What child, after becoming the Jinchūriki of a terrifying tailed beast and finding themselves in a strange place, wouldn't feel fear? The innocence in his eyes...

Back in the Hokage's office, the atmosphere was tense.
Unlike before, everyone was now aware that Sarutobi Hiruzen had made his decision.
Although his two advisors, Mitokado En and Utatane Koharu, raised objections, their suggestions held little weight against the final authority of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage. In this moment, he was powerful and confident, leaving no room for dissent.
Except for one person.

It was clear to everyone that Tonari's focus at that moment lay in a different world altogether.
However, the Sandaime Hokage, ever astute, expertly steered the conversation back on track.
"Little brother, your name is Toneri, right? I am the Third Hokage of Konoha. You need not worry about your safety anymore. You are safe here!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen set aside his pipe, squinting his eyes with a gentle smile directed at Toneri.
His demeanor resembled that of a warm gr...

Toneri had been here for quite some time.
However, as time passed, Nibi could feel that Toneri's body was about to fully recover, and then he would be able to go out as long as Toneri was willing.
No, even if Toneri didn't want to, Nibi would send him out.
This guy was such a chatterbox!

His full name is Nara Shikashin, the current head of the Nara clan. He is also the Hokage's chief of staff and an elite Jonin of Konoha!
The people behind him were none other than his son Nara Shikaku and the sons of his two good friends, Akimichi Choza of the Akimichi clan and Yamanaka Inoichi of the Yamanaka clan!
The three of them had just graduated early from the Ninja Academy and had become Konoha Genin, ready to begin carrying out missions.

Toneri felt his eyelids were very heavy, and every part of his body was swollen and sore.
Especially those areas where he had been scratched; it felt like hundreds of ants were crawling on them, trying to get under his skin.

Although the Two-Tails looks like a wild beast, it doesn't mean that it has no ability to think.
As a tailed beast, its intelligence is no weaker than that of humans.
Indeed, as Tonari said, it was very afraid of dying along with the Jinchūriki, even if it meant being sealed in the Jinchūriki's body for an unknown amount of time.
But at least, it is still itself!
The tailed beasts, in essence, can actually be seen as an extrem...
