I Need Rest

Chapter 129: Unrest in the Ninja World

The Land of Lightning, very similar to the Land of Earth, was built on harsh barren terrain.

However, numerous towering mountain peaks dotted the rugged landscape, and the rather frequent sound of booming thunder from above gave the country its fitting name.

Kumogakure, the Hidden Cloud Village, was strategically situated along the main road, surrounded by majestic mountains.

In the Raikage's office:

BOOM!

The Fourth Raikage angrily smashed his desk, while Darui ...

Chapter 128: A New Era

A large amount of black matter emerged from Danzo's chest as memories flashed before his eyes.

"Hiruzen, it looks like it's my turn this time."

"But I didn't end up becoming a Hokage..."

This was what Danzo had intended to say.

Since his end was inevitable, he wanted to leave the world with his most glorious side, like the Third Hokage.

But... at this moment, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura finally appeared.

His mind finally snapped.

The last words...

Chapter 127: The Various Ways of Danzo's Demise

In the Hokage's Office, Tsunade looked at Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu with a smile on her face.

"I think what you said is quite right. Konoha must not keep the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, otherwise, the other countries will certainly fear us and that might lead to them forming an alliance."

Following Colt's plan, Tsunade had brought in the two advisors to keep them busy.

Meanwhile, the ANBU had set up a sound barrier outside to ensure no noise from outside could penetrate ...

Chapter 126: Wood Style, Revealed!

Danzo's pale face paled.

In actual fact, possessing a single Sharingan wasn't a major pressing issue for him or one that he couldn’t spin his way.

After all, hadn't Kakashi wandered carelessly around with one for over a whole decade until he was famous for it in the whole world?

As the secretive Root's shadowy leader, and lurking darkness of the ninja world, quietly acquiring one from an Uchiha shouldn't be a particularly worrying deal, right?

But when his grotesque ...

Chapter 125: So many Sharingans...?

Silver-white flashes of light danced across the sky, leaving traces of lightning in every corner around the barrier.

In the next second, all the light came together into a burst of blooming feathers.

It was certainly a different kind of striking and beautiful display.

"Whew, I’m a little dizzy!" Colt landed on the ground.

Kaminari was subsequently swiped discarding the blood on it and then sheathed.

Colt couldn't help but sigh.

He was still too weak; usin...

Chapter 124: Four Red Yang Formation!

On the outskirts of Konoha, there was a seemingly ordinary dwelling.

The notorious Root organization was located in this inconspicuous spot.

Originally, Root had been very close to the center of Konoha.

Hiruzen operated in the light, while Danzo worked in the shadows.

But after the Uchiha massacre, the Third Hokage placed all the blame on Danzo and officially disbanded the Root organization.

The "Professor" title was well-earned; he could deflect any accusation t...

Chapter 123: Returning to the Village

Carrying Yugito over his shoulder, Colt looked behind him.

"Come out!"

In a flash, four ANBU appeared before him.

"Sir!" the squad leader spoke, her body trembling slightly.

As a bystander who had witnessed the entire battle, she was in awe of Colt's power.

Not only her, but the other three team members bowed their heads even deeper to express their respect.

"There are no stragglers left. Go oversee the border ninjas; they can withdraw now," Colt told them....

Chapter 122: Did I Allow You to Survive?

In the ninja world, Jutsus were divided into many types and levels.

The [Great Fire Annihilation], although rarely used, was a very representative Fire Style jutsu.

Many people know it as a B-rank jutsu, mastered by Jōnin-level ninja.

However, no one told Yugito that a B-rank jutsu from this kid's hands would be more terrifying than an S-rank!

The Kumo shinobi behind Yugito were even more distressed.

Among them, very few could use the Water Style jutsu. And Even...

Chapter 121: Miserable Danzo

Faced with his subordinate’s sudden change in attitude, Danzo's face darkened immediately.

Looking at the familiar Sharingan in his eye, how could he not recognize that he was being mocked by Colt at this moment, and the words were not actually Fu’s??

"Enough! Release the illusion on him!" Danzo commanded.

Three black shadows flashed past him and rushed towards the wildly laughing Yamanaka Fu.

For now, this was Colt's well-designed payback action based on the style...

Chapter 120: The two tails Jinchuriki

"Now go!"

Colt whispered a few words to the hypnotized Fū and ordered him.

As Fū ran back towards Konoha, there was still a hint of daze in his eyes.

It was bad manners for them to just come and go without Colt settling some accounts with them.

He couldn't deal with it now, but he would settle the score after returning to the village.

For now, sending Fu was enough.

After resolving this, Colt was not affected in the slightest and continued on his way.

Chapter 119: Ambush

It had to be said that the only shining point of Danzō, the schemer of this world, was his persistence.

His ideal had always remained the same: to become Hokage.

The Fourth died, the Third died, and now it was the Fifth Hokage.

Even at seventy, he still wanted to be the Hokage.

But this did not mean that he could survive another Sixth or Seventh Generation of Hokages.

When Tsunade returned as Hokage, Colt's identity as a Senju clan member was officially recogniz...

Chapter 118: Enraged!

"In the direction of point B, there's an exploding tag trap."

**********

"Copy that."

**********

"There are also three rogue ninjas guarding the room where the target is. I'll control them, and Ino is in charge of finishing them off."

**********

Outside a manor, the Ino–Shika–Chō trio communicated via radio earpieces.

A strategy was quickly decided upon between the three.

By extending the [Shadow Possession Jutsu] from the yard's pole, Shik...

Chapter 117: Eternal Mangekyō

Hearing Hanabi's cry, Colt's head was covered in black lines, and he subconsciously looked around to see if there were any people passing by.

If there were, he'd consider whether to silence them or not.

This little girl couldn't keep quiet. Didn't she realize that saying stuff like this could be dangerous?

“If you want to seriously train, then keep your silence and move”

With a dark face, he told the little girl to keep quiet.

Colt kept correcting their mista...

Chapter 116: Training the Hyuga sisters

Two days later, the intense negotiations between Sunagakure and Konoha officially concluded.

Sunagakure successfully obtained Konoha's strategic alliance at the considerable cost of turning in a 20% commission on all assignments over the next three years.

What exactly does an alliance of strategic alignment entail?

Even when Konoha openly declares war on other countries or was unexpectedly invaded, Sunagakure must cooperate unconditionally and act together without hesitation...

Chapter 115: Date?

Five days later, on a bright and clear morning, a nervous delegation from Sunagakure, led by the stern-faced Baki, arrived at Konoha's imposing gates to sign the crucial contract.

The atmosphere was palpably tense, given the recent rocky history between the two once-allied villages.

Just a few short months ago, Sunagakure, driven by unchecked greed and ambition, had foolishly allied with the Orochimaru to invade Konoha.

That rash decision had cost them dearly - their Kazekag...

Chapter 114: The start of the three years of training

Seeing Sakura run out of the office with tears in the corner of her eyes after being reprimanded by Colt, Tsunade raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Isn't she your teammate? You seem to have some strong opinions about her."

Colt waved his hand dismissively.

"Let's not talk about her. That girl is simply unfit for the ninja work."

Tsunade, noting his attitude, decided not to pursue the matter further.

Her thoughts of accepting Sakura as an apprentice vanished instant...

Chapter 113: A Deal

Valley of the End.

Many years ago, this place was simply a flat plain.

After the battle between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, the terrain was abruptly transformed.

A waterfall now cascaded down the cliff.

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, had ordered huge statues of the two combatants to be carved here, commemorating his brother's prestige.

As for why Madara Uchiha was included?

Perhaps he wanted people to know that even someone as powerful as Madara ...

Chapter 112: The Power of Gods

Kimimaro of the Kaguya clan.

The sole possessor of the extinct Shikotsumyaku (Dead Bone Pulse) bloodline limit was, in a way, rarer than even the Uchiha and Senju.

He was essentially a first-class protected species in the ninja world.

Colt's interest stemmed from this unique bloodline.

In the ninja world, aside from special techniques produced by fusing various chakra natures, the other special bloodlines were actually derived from Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

Or more spec...

Chapter 111: Kimimaro of the Kaguya Clan

(E/N: It's too soon to add another +18 chapter I think that's why I ignored what happened with Koyuki, but if you lot want me to do so, I'll add it as a side chapter maybe sometime in the future...Comment if you do, one comment isn't enough to decide, there should at least be two on this post, if there is no comment, I'll take it as a no.)

**********

Within five minutes of returning to the village, Colt was sent out again.

Sasuke had finally embarked on his ...

Chapter 110: Sage mode

Life was fleeting but full of unexpected twists and turns.

Colt had already planned to leave the Land of Snow tomorrow and find a place with sufficient natural energy to practice the Sage Mode.

But plans often change.

To keep him there, the Snow Princess of the Land of Snow had sacrificed too much after all.

Faced with such warm hospitality, Colt wasn't heartless.

Since Koyuki needed him so desperately, he decided to stay a while longer.

During the day, he ...

Chapter 109: Koyuki's Private Reward

The ice shattered, scattering across the battlefield.

After Doto Kazahana's demise, several rogue ninjas on the train immediately attempted to flee. Their allegiance to the tyrant was nonexistent.

For the sake of Koyuki Kazahana's future safety, Colt manipulated Kaminari to methodically eliminate them one by one.

"Did you capture that?" The movie director nervously asked the cameraman, his voice tinged with excitement.

"I managed to capture part of it, but obstacles ob...

Chapter 108: Twin Rising Dragons

After dispatching the Snow Ninja trio, Colt's expression remained unchanged.

Among the three, only Nadare Rōga possessed Jōnin-level strength, enhanced by the chakra armor.

The other two were mere fodder.

Kakashi's prowess was truly remarkable.

To think he could contend with Kaguya twice, yet also struggle against ordinary ninjas like Nadare Rōga.

The title of Copy Ninja was well-deserved. He copies the strong and weak equally.

Seeing Koyuki Kazahana slu...

Chapter 107: The Snow Ninja Trio's Swift Defeat

Colt's words finally had an effect.

Since their conversation, Koyuki Kazahana stopped obsessing over escape and quietly focused on her work.

The film's director, a rather ruthless man, began shooting directly on the boat.

In his words, what kind of gift from the movie gods was this sea journey?

Colt, being curious, observed a movie filming scene for the first time.

Everyone performed their duties, played their roles, and then presented it to the public.

Per...

Chapter 106: The real mission

A beautiful figure riding a white horse came out first, followed by more than a dozen knights dressed as samurai.

"Not bad," Colt remarked, somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected her to outride so many men running behind her.

Yet no matter how skilled she was, she was still vulnerable to simple tricks.

Seeing that they were falling further behind, they began throwing oil bottles. The glass shattered, spilling oil across the road ahead.

The white horse lost its footing ...

Chapter 105: S-class Mission

(four chapters today)

********

"Is this the mission?"

After reviewing all the information, a flicker of interest flashed in Colt's eyes.

The mission level was only B-rank.

The specific content was to act as Fujikaze Yukie's bodyguard for the foreseeable future, ensuring her safety.

Fujikaze Yukie was currently the hottest actress in the ninja world.

Her film "The Adventures of Princess Gale" had already set a historic record and was n...

Chapter 104: Using the Wood Style

News of Tsunade's impending ascension to Hokage swiftly reached the Land of Wind.

Baki, Sunagakure's interim leader, immediately convened an urgent council meeting.

Even the two reclusive elders were summoned to attend the crucial gathering.

Every subtle shift in power would influence Sunagakure's strategy, necessitating a thorough analysis of Tsunade's rise to power.

As the children of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa: Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro were granted permission to att...

Chapter 103: Promoted to Jōnin

In the Land of Rivers, Uchiha Itachi and Kisame returned to the Akatsuki's hidden base, looking noticeably embarrassed. Their disheveled appearance surprised the other members who were present.

It was unusual to see Uchiha Itachi in such a state.

"Well, well, isn't this the fearsome man who supposedly committed genocide against his whole family on his own? A simple intelligence task left you like this?" Deidara taunted, clearly enjoying Itachi's predicament.

He had always di...

Chapter 102: I don’t want this anymore

"Don't you need any medical tools?" Tsunade asked curiously.

They had moved to a remote room for her treatment.

"That's fine, I don't have many fancy tricks up my sleeve," Colt replied casually.

"Alright then, I'm ready. You can start whenever," Tsunade said, steeling herself.

"Wait, let me undress first," Colt added.

In the small room, there was only a simple bed and a few chairs.

Colt closed the door securely and set a privacy seal.

He took off his ...

Chapter 101: I’ll be the Hokage when these old people die

One of the legendary Sannin, Princess Tsunade Senju, unexpectedly returned to Konoha.

This surprising news had undoubtedly injected a much-needed boost of hope for Konoha, which was currently struggling.

Some people were excitedly boiling with anticipation, while others were gritting their teeth in frustration.

Meanwhile, in the hidden base of Root…

Crash!

Danzo angrily swept away the delicate teacup in front of him and cursed loudly.

"Since you ...

Chapter 100: You think you can stop me?

Early the next morning, Tsunade reluctantly took Shizune to the dense forest nearby.

"Lady Tsunade, we already promised to return to the village soon. Why are we going to see Orochimaru now?" Shizune asked, visibly puzzled. "Are you really going to agree to his outrageous terms?"

Shizune was thoroughly confused. Not long ago, Orochimaru had unexpectedly approached Tsunade, asking her to heal his damaged hands and his sickly subordinate Kimimaro. Shizune didn't know the specific co...
