Twin Demons. Chapter 5

The Shinigami Temple struck with its monumentality from the outside. Stone steps stretched upward to massive columns. The roof loomed so high it resembled a fortress more than a shrine. Above the entrance gleamed the Uzumaki symbol — a blood-red whirlpool, greedily pulling the gaze into itself. Expensive, majestic, proud.

Menma felt a sudden sting in his chest — pride for his ancestors who had built such beauty, or sorrow for their tragic fate.

The interior had nothing in comm...

Twin Demons. Chapter 4

Far from Konoha’s noisy center—where the streets were always crammed with merchants, children, and unhurried old folks—stretched a block of identical gray three-story buildings. These served as temporary housing for lone shinobi with no place of their own. The rent wasn’t anything to cry over—payments were docked straight from mission pay, and even then only a modest percentage, so no one complained.

A little apart from them lived a different sort of tenant—orphans. Until th...

Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped into the office, quietly closing the door behind him.

The familiar scent of old wood and the faint tang of tobacco greeted him like the rightful master of the house returning home. A massive dark walnut desk dominated the center of the room, and behind it a wide window opened onto Konoha: evening mist clung to the rooftops while the last rays of the sun broke through the haze, bathing the village in soft gold. Portraits of the previous Hokage lined the walls—c...

"Me-een-maaa!" Naruko's voice shattered the morning silence like a rock through glass.

The girl dashed across the room, leapt onto her brother’s bed, bounced twice with a pleased "boing! boing!" and, for the grand finale, plopped right onto his stomach.

The book in Menma’s hands jolted. He barely had time to move it away from his face to avoid getting smacked in the nose by the pages.

"You lost your mind or something?" He raised an eyebrow slightly, peering at her over t...

Before death, they say, your whole life flashes before your eyes.

Although, if you think about it, it’s more like a trailer with a selection of key scenes.

University years — lectures, desks buried under notes, stressed-out classmates, and him, acing exams with the highest scores.

Then a handshake in a spacious office: a job offer from a private research company right after graduation.

White lab walls, the scent of metal and plastic, shelves lined with instruments ...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 64

Obito used to live in the basement. A kind of house arrest. Half a year ago, Fugaku decided to move him upstairs. Now his room was on the second floor—complete with a soft bed, a bookshelf, a simple but comfortable desk, and a carpet on the floor. However, the curtains remained closed at all times. No one outside the Uchiha family was supposed to know Obito was alive.

Fugaku stopped at the doorway. The room was filled with the quiet clicking of wooden shogi pieces. Obito sat cross-leg...

Fugaku slowly opened the massive iron door to the prisoner's cell.

The sealing tags on the floor glimmered with a faint blue light. In the corner stood a metal cot, and on it lay Obito Uchiha—gaunt, one-armed, his torso wrapped in bandages. He was reading a battered book. Likely something Shisui had brought him recently—a gesture of sympathy, unauthorized but understandable.

Hearing familiar footsteps, Obito sprang up with a liveliness that seemed out of place for a prisoner. ...

The Uchiha mansion buzzed like a disturbed beehive. The air was filled with the hum of tools, the thud of lumber, and the scent of dust and fresh cement. The workers moved in sync like ants, sealing breaches in the walls, patching cracks in the floor, reinforcing beams, and replacing shattered window frames. The traces of the recent Akatsuki incursion were vanishing one by one. But the tension still lingered in the air.

Fugaku stood in the entrance hall, hands clasped behind his back li...

When Deidara’s explosion shook the dining room, Hikari already knew who she’d be fighting. The Sharingan had read her loved ones’ choices — like formulas on a chalkboard. The arrangement was obvious: each had their target, everything rational, everything calculated. She was left with the final piece on the board.

Konan.

After the blast, she soared into the sky, giant paper wings unfurling behind her like those of an angel.

Hikari didn’t hesitate. She shot after her...

Deidara hurled his explosive clay—and chaos erupted.

Everyone instantly scattered in different directions, as if they'd accidentally split into pairs. But Mikoto knew: it wasn't an accident. From the very first second the Akatsuki appeared in the house, her Sharingan had been analyzing them without pause. She read micro-movements, muscle tension, barely perceptible glances—and in an instant, identified priorities and patterns.

Kisame’s shark-like eyes slid toward her belt an...

Fugaku sat on the wooden bench placed by the entrance to the house. The morning sun bathed the rooftop in a golden hue, its light resting on his shoulders, emphasizing his broad frame and stern facial features. A newspaper was neatly spread out in front of him, its pages rustling slightly in the gentle breeze.

Back before he became the Fifth Hokage, Fugaku used to glance only at the business section—what prices had gone up, which clans were investing in construction, how the land refo...

Morning in Konoha greeted its residents with a clear sky and a gentle breeze that played with the village flags lining the streets. Today was a special day: the start-of-year ceremony had drawn not only future students to the Academy building, but also their families. Laughter rang through the air, mixed with whispers of excitement, the rustle of clothes, and a low hum of voices that gradually faded as an elderly shinobi in formal attire stepped onto the stage.

Normally, it was the Hoka...

“All done,” Uruchi reported, wiping her forehead with the back of her hand. Her warm, tired smile didn’t hide the satisfaction she felt from a job well done. “I’ve cleared away the construction debris, and my husband just finished setting up the last of the furniture. Your new home is fully ready for move-in, Fugaku-sama.”

She gave a slight bow, as if handing over the keys to a new life.

“Finally!” Sasuke exclaimed joyfully and bolted for the door like a puppy off ...

"Good morning, Hokage-sama!" chirped a playful voice, piercing the silence like an arrow.

Fugaku slowly opened his eyes. Through the slightly parted curtains, the soft morning sunlight filtered into the bedroom, casting golden stripes on the floor, walls, and sheets. Beside him lay Mikoto—warm, relaxed, her hair tousled from sleep, and a faint smile on her lips. She looked at him with that calm, almost lazy expression one only wears in the early morning, when the rest of the world is ...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 55. Fugaku Vs Danzo

Fugaku slowly ascended the stairs from the prison depths. His footsteps echoed heavily against the stone. In his right hand, he dragged the unconscious body of Hiruko by the collar—or what was left of him after the fight and the interrogation. Hiruko’s head lolled from side to side, and a bloody trail stretched behind them.

Behind Fugaku, in complete silence, walked Mikoto, Itachi, and Shisui. Their faces were set in stone—grim, unflinching. After what they had learned from Hiruko...

Konoha’s underground prison stood on the village’s farthest edge, like a scar people preferred to forget. The facility was buried beneath the surface—not just by architectural design, but as a symbol. Here, prisoners were stripped of everything, even the sky. All that remained was eternal twilight, the stench of iron and damp stone.

Today, gray skies loomed above this corner of the village. Thick clouds gathered slowly, as if nature itself understood that something was about to un...

Only ten days had passed since Danzō Shimura became the Fifth Hokage — and that was enough for Konoha to become unrecognizable.

The streets were deserted.

A village once lively and bustling now felt frozen in a state of anxious anticipation. People only left their homes out of necessity — for hospital shifts, academy classes, or groceries — and returned immediately, not lingering for a second longer than needed. Conversations were short and quiet, as if every word could be ...

There was a festival in Konoha today—or at least, that’s how it was presented from the stage.

Flags bearing the emblem of the Leaf Village hung across the streets, stalls on every corner sold dango and traditional sweets, and children ran around in paper masks, chasing each other in mock battles. The air was thick with the scent of grilled meat and caramel, and over the plaza near the administrative building, flutes and drums played. But despite all the outward fanfare, something ab...

Chapter 51. A girl who had never eaten a piece of candy in her life

When Fugaku and Mikoto returned home, the sun was already high in the sky. The moment they opened the door, they were met with a surprise. Three figures stood lined up at the entrance—Shisui, Itachi, and Sasuke—as if they were on a silent mission to intercept shinobi returning from a classified operation.

Itachi, arms crossed over his chest, gave his father a sharp once-over. His gaze immediately locked onto one detail that clashed violently with the clan head’s usual image—a ha...

In the heart of the Land of Hot Springs stood an arena — a massive stone bowl where wealthy tourists paid good money to watch fighters hack each other apart with swords. There were no politics here, no games like the Chūnin Exams where shinobi fought for village honor and clan prestige.

This was a show. Brutal, spectacular, and vivid — a spectacle made for the crowd.

At the same time, it was a live showcase for those who sold themselves as weapons. Mercenaries, bodyguards, ch...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 49. Business instinct

Fugaku stepped out of the forest shadows in the pre-dawn stillness, leading two purebred stallions by the reins. Their sleek, polished dark coats shimmered faintly in the pale light.

Before him stretched a deserted, dew-covered green meadow, surrounded by hills and trees. There were no prying eyes here. Moving quickly and confidently, Fugaku hitched the horses to a black carriage adorned with the Uchiha clan crest, then pulled out two syringes filled with a thick green liquid.

Fugaku and Mikoto walked side by side down one of Konoha's bustling streets. Sunlight filtered through the leaves overhead, casting sharp shadows across the cobblestone road. People went about their business, but the moment anyone’s gaze landed on Mikoto — their behavior shifted.

Shinobi who met her eyes gave her subtle nods, as if acknowledging her status. Civilians offered kind words, as if they knew her personally. And children stared at her with true reverence. A few girls even ...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 47. You can be Hokage

The Konoha hospital greeted them, as always, with the sharp scent of sterility—a mix of antiseptics and medicine that filled their lungs and made their noses sting. The whiteness of the walls was almost blinding, and the floor shone as if it had been scrubbed with obsessive care. Everything looked flawless, but beneath that polished surface hid a quiet tension—visible in faces, gestures, and the clipped tones of the staff. They moved like they were walking through a minefield, avoiding ey...

Only two days had passed since construction began on the new Uchiha mansion, yet the work was already in full swing. Laborers toiled from dawn till dusk, occasionally casting wary glances at Fugaku’s shadow clone, who oversaw every step of the process.

The real Fugaku was sitting in the study of their temporary home. In front of him lay invoices, estimates, supply chain plans — everything required for the project's logistics. But the numbers blurred before his eyes, refusing to form...

"Thank you for looking after my sons while I was away, Uruchi," said Fugaku, standing at the threshold of a modest house at the foot of the Naka Shrine.

"No thanks needed, Fugaku-sama," replied the elderly woman with a warm smile. Her gray hair was neatly tied into a bun. "We’re one family, after all. The clan always sticks together..." She hesitated for a moment, glancing deeper into the house. "You know, while I was tidying up, I thought... there really isn’t much space here. It m...

"Thank you for the invitation, Uruchi-san," Shisui said with a warm smile as he stepped inside the house. His voice was cheerful, but there was a weariness in it that he made no effort to hide. On the doorstep behind him, wet and silent, slipped in Itachi and Sasuke.

Outside, the rain was still pouring down. The sky was dark and starless, and it felt like all of Konoha had been swallowed by a cold, trembling veil of gray. Water dripped from their hair, pant legs clung to their legs. Beh...

Batman in Konoha. Chapter 43. And they died on the same day

Fugaku raced through the night-soaked streets of Konoha, barely able to make out the road through the flickering bursts of lightning. The downpour was so heavy it felt like the village itself was drowning in a flood. Wind lashed his face, raindrops stinging through the thin fabric of his home shirt.

Somewhere ahead, in the darkness, Mikoto was laughing.

Not her usual laugh—the one she used to greet him with after missions, quiet, warm, alive. No. This laugh was ragged, chaotic, ...

Fugaku moved silently through the hospital’s morning corridors, heading toward the VIP room on the second floor.

The door opened without a creak. Inside, the silence was broken only by the occasional gust of wind outside the window and the steady ticking of the IV drip. The air was thick with the bitter, hand-rolled scent of tobacco. And, of course, there was that heavy sense of death—slow, inevitable, already halfway inside the room.

The morning streets of Konoha still slumbered. Shadows cast by low buildings lay in sharp lines across the stone pavement, and the cool air was in no hurry to give way to the midday heat. The village seemed to be holding its breath before waking—shops were locked, signs swayed gently in the breeze, and only a few early birds chirped above the tiled rooftops. Even the smell of fresh morning bread had yet to appear—the bakers were only just preparing to light their ovens.
