Chapter 71: Minato: Do You Dare Accept It?
Outside Konoha Village, Minato looked at the "welcoming party" ahead and sighed.
Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, the clan representatives including Hyuga Hiashi, and... Shimura Danzo.
"What an enthusiastic welcome."
Minato took a deep breath and walked forward with only Hyuga Fuji and Uchiha Fugaku accompanying him.
"Advisors, has everything been well in Konoha lately?"

"Advisor Danzo, it’s been a while."
In the Hokage’s office, Danzo sat in the chair he had dreamed of for years. As he looked at the visitor, he attempted to smile, but his years of maintaining a dark and somber expression turned it into more of a cold sneer.
This made Kazuma, one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja, frown. "Do you have a problem with me?"
Danzo suppressed his awkward smile and cleared his th...

Chapter 69: He Gave Too Much
Facing Mei Terumi's question, Yagura's expression grew complex as he slowly said, "If Konoha's strength is tied to him, then yes, it's true."
How did things come to this?
Because Konoha is too powerful!
So powerful that he had no choice but to agree to an enormous compensation—the most generous reparations since the successive Shinobi World Wars.
It was precisely Konoha's overwhelming strength that forced...

Chapter 266: Executing the Daimyo
Haneda left the golden Buddha standing on the battlefield.
While everyone else was cheering and celebrating, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport back to the command post—where Jiraiya and the others were waiting.
The moment Haneda appeared, some people noticed him and tried to call out excitedly.
But with a simple genjutsu, Haneda silenced those around him who were about to shout.

Chapter 264: Despair! The Power of a God!
Haneda wasted no time, piercing the cloud ninja before him with the bone blade that grew from his palm, ending the man’s life in an instant.
Suddenly, a streak of lightning flashed, striking toward Haneda.
With the activation of his Mangekyō Sharingan, Haneda manifested the first stage of Susanoo, effortlessly blocking the attack. The force of the lightning, however, propelled him backward into the distance.

Letting out a quiet sigh, Genshi looked toward Sarutobi Hiruzen. "You're not going to take action against me? Capturing me would give Konoha more leverage during negotiations."
"We need a pretext, and only Kirigakure can provide it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen vanished in an instant, leaving only a faint whisper in Genshi's ear. "Hurry up and leave. If you die here, Kirigakure and Konoha will never stop fighting."
