Chapter 102: Outdated Intel Has No Value
“Apologies, but recently, no one resembling the person in the portrait has passed through the Land of Demons from the Land of Snow.”
“Thank you.”
After concluding their conversation with the high-ranking officials of the Land of Demons, Hyuga Yuki and Hyuga Miyuki exited the grand hall.
“It seems we won’t find that princess anytime soon.”
“As expected. If she wanted to avo...

Chapter 101: Kakuzu's New Job
“Loving money, believing money will never betray you... No matter how I look at it, this is a mental illness, isn’t it?”
In the psychiatric clinic, Kakuzu—his appearance slightly altered by Hyuga Fuji—sat expressionless, quietly staring at the doctor in front of him.
“Staring at me won’t change anything.”
The doctor sighed and began writing a diagnosis. “This is classic psychological trauma. Be...

Chapter 296: An Alliance Between Amegakure and Konoha!
At that moment, Shisui said, "Lord Hokage, Danzo went mad half a year ago. He believes you cast a genjutsu on him and that everything he sees is fake."
"Mad?" Haneda glanced at the hysterical, cursing Danzo and muttered, "Pitiful."
With a flick of his hand, he used Wind Release to cut through the lock, opening the cell door.
Danzo rushed toward Haneda in a frenzy, but Tendo Pain swiftly ...

Despite his confusion, Haneda kept his emotions in check. With a polite smile, he asked,

Konoha, Early Morning
With Orochimaru gone, Haneda didn’t have much to do.
After breakfast, Haneda decided to keep things simple and took Naruto by the hand, walking him to Sasuke’s house.
Itachi was cleaning when he saw Haneda and Naruto arrive. He greeted them warmly:
"Uncle Haneda, Naruto, heading to the Ninja Academy this early?"
Naruto replied, "Yeah, Itachi-nii, if I don’t see Sa...

After Orochimaru disappeared, Konan walked a few steps, glanced back at Pain, and then entered a hidden underground base.
This was where Pain’s true body—Nagato—was located.
Konan walked inside, and a massive Gedo Statue came into view.
Beneath the statue, a red-haired, gaunt man with a grim expression was connected to the statue.
Looking at the increasingly frail Nagato, Konan bit he...

Did Fuji want them monitoring each other?
Or was it simply that even ninjas of their caliber might face issues acting alone?
But grouping them into teams of four seemed unnecessary. Two-man squads might’ve been more efficient.
