Chapter 16: And Who Do You Think You Are?
"Still no news?"
"None, Kazekage-sama."
---
Inside the Kazekage’s office, the air was tense.
Rasa sat behind his desk, his brows furrowed as he listened to Yashamaru’s report.
His mood was sour.
The pressure from Iwagakure and Kirigakure was mounting—forcing him to make a decision for the survival of Sunagakure.
Since Kirigakure was too...

The Land of Wind—silver moonlight cast a dim glow over the vast desert.
In an abandoned village amidst the endless sands, Haruta, Yugao, and Shisui were resting after their mission.
Beside them, Pakura lay unconscious, still unmoving.
"Senpai, wasn't that a bit too much?"
Haruta glanced at the still-unconscious Pakura and shook his head at Shisui.
"She hasn't even woken up yet—how ...

It wasn’t strange for Haruta to have such thoughts—
Because the Earth Dragon he had just summoned was absurdly massive!
"Nearly 50 meters long…"
"It’s almost the size of a Tailed Beast or even a lower-level Susanoo…"
Susanoo’s height and power scale with the evolution of the Sharingan.
The early-stage Susanoo was barely a dozen meters tall.

Pakura?
Hearing that name, Haruta’s expression immediately changed.
Was his luck really that good?
According to Danzo’s plan, Pakura was his target—but he never expected to run into her here.
Then again, it made sense.
At this point in time, Pakura was leading the charge against Kirigakure while also fending off Onoki’s forces from the north.

A few days later, deep in the deserts of the Land of Wind—
Haruta, Yugao, and Shisui moved steadily through the vast sea of sand.
The Land of Wind had a climate that fully lived up to its name—
Sunny skies, strong winds… and a mercilessly scorching sun.
It was just that its definition of "sunny and breezy" was a bit extreme.
For example—

"You’ve arrived."
Inside the Hokage’s Office, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Haruta and his two teammates with a warm expression.
"How have things been? Have you been adjusting well to each other?"
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Hokage. We... get along well."
Uchiha Shisui bowed slightly as he spoke, though his tone was somewhat unnatural.
After all, despite seeing each other over the pas...

"So… the peaceful days are over again, huh?"
Early in the morning, inside the Anbu headquarters, Haruta yawned as he walked inside.
Their recovery period had lasted longer than expected, giving Haruta plenty of time to slack off and enjoy himself.
He couldn’t help but sigh—if only things had been this relaxed back when he was in Root.
"At least I wouldn’t have spent every day thinking about how t...

"Hiruzen, what are you doing here?"
Danzo had to admit—he was genuinely startled.
If someone had managed to sneak into Root undetected, the consequences would be unthinkable!
But upon realizing it was his old friend, he quickly regained his composure.
Truth be told, he had never liked Hiruzen all that much.
Sure, they had been comrades for decades. Sure, Hiruzen had pardoned him for his...

On the riverbank within Konoha, a young man with short black hair and the signature red Sharingan eyes smiled as he introduced himself.
"Hello, I am the newly assigned member to this squad. My name is Uchiha Shisui. Please take care of me."
Haruta wasn’t the least bit surprised to see him.
After his meeting with the Third Hokage, he was already certain that his boss, Danzo, had reached some kind of agreement...

Naruto’s level of poverty honestly shocked Haruta.
If he remembered correctly, Naruto was supposed to receive a stipend from the village, wasn’t he?
So why did he seem this broke?
"Huh?"
Hearing a voice behind him, Naruto shuddered and turned around, looking at Haruta and Yuugao with a bit of confusion. Then, as if realizing something, he instinctively took two steps back.

Konoha-ryu Kenjutsu, at its core, was still a branch of Taijutsu.
Haruta’s system had an interesting feature—whenever he mastered or received a reward related to a certain skill category, he could instantly integrate it and perform at the highest level he had reached within that category.
Just like with his Suiton and Doton techniques, once his level increased, any new jutsu he learned would automat...

"It looks like we were a step too late. Orochimaru still managed to escape."
In the Hokage's office in Konoha, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, held a pipe in his mouth as he read the report in his hands.
He glanced at the assembled Anbu before him, his gaze lingering on Haruta, who stood at the back of the group. With a hint of resignation, he finally spoke.

Seeing Yuugao still slightly dazed, Haruta smiled before turning his gaze forward.
Even though she wore a mask, he knew that this young senpai, only a year or two older than him, was actually quite pretty…
"You… are you alright?"
Yuugao had no idea that her "junior" was mentally derailing into completely unnecessary thoughts. Instead, she asked with concern.
"And what about Orochimaru?"

"You know… you’re actually a pretty nice guy…"
Watching Orochimaru’s figure disappear into the distance, Haruta couldn’t help but make a sarcastic remark.
At the same time, he let out a long sigh of relief.
The pressure that Orochimaru exerted was immense—even for someone like Haruta, who had a system cheat, it was almost unbearable.
But this was understandable. Despite h...

"So it's you—the kid from that orphanage who was taken into Root?"
Orochimaru paused for a moment as he recognized Haruta’s face, then a playful smile spread across his lips.
"If I remember correctly, your name is Shigaru Haruta, right?"
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru. Lord Danzo sent me to see you."
Haruta nodded. It was quite absurd for Orochimaru to expose his identity as a Root member in front of Anbu operatives...

The sound of dripping water echoed continuously in the dim underground laboratory. Shigaru Haruta, dressed in an Anbu uniform, carefully followed behind a female Anbu with purple hair as they made their way forward.
The pitch-black corridor ahead seemed to lead straight to the depths of hell, sending a chill down the spine of anyone who laid eyes on it.

As Gardevoir’s attack surged forward, Beedrill immediately rushed in front of Giovanni.
With Protect, it formed a shimmering barrier to block the combined attack from both Gardevoir and Mewtwo.
Under the immense psychic pressure, the barrier trembled, straining under the force.
Seeing this, Mewtwo hurled its Aura Sphere forward.
The instant it collided with the barrier—

Dugtrio’s next target was Eevee, which, unlike Gardevoir, didn’t have Teleport to evade.
To make it easier for Gardevoir to deal with Dugtrio, Asahi reached for his Mega Evolution stone.

A burst of rainbow light enveloped Gardevoir.
The moment the transformation completed, Mega Gardevoir’s black dress swayed in the wind.
Giovanni’s pupils contracted. “Mega Evolution?...

The situation was already dire—there was no way Lorelei could be allowed to get any closer.

Like a true assassin, Beedrill’s poisonous stinger shot toward Mewtwo.
Its movements were precise, swift, and ruthless.
To create this opportunity for Beedrill, Aggron had willingly taken a Shadow Ball head-on, ensuring that its Hyper Beam shattered Mewtwo’s outer defense.
Faced with this sudden ambush, Mewtwo’s entire body glowed with a radiant blue light—its psychic energy had been pushed to th...

A massive slab of rock levitated into the air before being tossed aside.
Standing beside an Alakazam, Sabrina waved her hand, dispersing the psychic barrier that had protected her and Green.
