Fez Town.
Bazel took out a few crumpled thousand-Berry bills from his wallet, spoils he had looted from the atoners.
"Two servings of omurice, a glass of orange juice, and a glass of... hmm."
He was about to order another drink for himself, but for some reason, Bazel suddenly felt a new craving welling up inside him.
It was a craving for alcohol.
"And one ale, please."
‘So, Devil Fruits really do affect the User's preferences.’
Before today, Bazel...

‘Amatsuki… Toki?’
Bazel’s mouth fell slightly agape, his eyes wide with shock.
‘Wait, I remembered this woman…’
‘Isn’t she the mother of Momonosuke and Hiyori?!’
‘No no no!’
‘If I calculate based on the current situation, it seems that Toki has not yet met that big fool, Kozuki Oden.
‘Which meant…’
‘I might, perhaps, possibly have a chance to intervene temporarily, pulling off a last-minute interception?’

The fact that his cheap old uncle had chosen the Beast Pirates as the target truly exceeded Bazel's expectations.
In his view, whether it was the Roger Pirates or the Whitebeard Pirates, they were both the optimal choices.
The former need not be mentioned. He’s the future Pirate King, the man who would start the Great Pirate Era.
The latter is Edward Newgate, known as the strongest man in the world.
Failing that, the Flying Pirates led by Shiki the Golden Lion could ...

Knock, knock…
"Come in."
A somewhat deep male voice came from inside the door.
"Admiral Sengoku!"
The white-haired young man who entered the room stood at attention and saluted like an ordinary marine.
The old-fashioned fan on the ceiling creaked as it swayed. His nose twitched slightly as a pleasant scent of ink wafted into his nostrils.

Sakura placed a plate of grilled fish in front of the two.
She had been listening from behind ever since Naruto started talking about the Reincarnators.
Back at the Roran, she had already been deeply curious about the world beyond the Space-Time Rift.
Now, with the existence of the so-called ‘Main God’, she was genuinely eager to study how this ‘Main God’ managed to traverse different dimensions…
And how it could grant ordinary people power.

Kumogakure was shrouded in dark clouds, with thunder as thick as buckets exploding across the sky. A fierce wind howled, scattering and reforming the black, scaly clouds in an instant.
The village grew darker, visibility severely impaired. White Zetsu weaved through the streets, reaping the lives of one Shinobi after another.
"Haven’t they been cleared out yet?" Yondaime Raikage slammed his fist onto the table, reducing it to splinters with a thunderous crash.

Azure and crimson swirled like life itself across their bodies, while an undercurrent of oppressive aura filled the air. Sasuke and Itachi watched as Logan's presence underwent a qualitative transformation, his words, absurd yet undeniably logical, echoing in their ears.

At night, Naruto's team sat around the campfire.
The women went off to prepare dinner, while Naruto and Sasuke cracked open some beers.
"Ahhh...!"
"Good stuff!"
After drinking half a bottle, Sasuke was slightly tipsy.
He had tried sake and strong liquor before, but their harsh flavors were hard to stomach.
If anything truly tasted good, it was the ice-cold beer Naruto had brought out.

To fulfill his long-devised plan, Uchiha Madara had gone so far as to seclude himself in a remote corner of the Pure Land for years.
Yet, just recently, he was abruptly pulled out of the Pure Land.
At first, Madara thought that Obito had succeeded in the plan and used the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive him.
But...
To his surprise, he found himself resurrected in the form of the Impure World Reincarnation.

Land of Water…
If there was any place in the entire Shinobi World that had suffered the least destruction, it would undoubtedly be the Land of Water, a nation surrounded by islands.
In an underground cave on a small island...
Six individuals dressed in bizarre outfits, their art styles completely unlike the Shinobi World, had gathered.
Before them stood a two-meter-tall ice sculpture, within which was none other than reanimated Uchiha Madara, frozen solid.

With Naruto around, the atmosphere never felt too heavy. Plus, his confident attitude that Yamato was fine helped ease the tension for the other three.
Tenten was easily led by Naruto’s words, Lee’s straightforward mind didn’t overcomplicate things, and Naruto himself was clearly just along for the ride. That left Shino as the only one actually working in the team, his eyes behind his sunglasses fixed intently ahead.
By noon, the team took a break.

"That's not the case. You didn't even bring your communicator with you, so how would anyone know where you went?" Naruto replied carelessly, still posing by the window.
"Alright, alright! They’ve already left. No need to keep up your ‘heroic figure’ act anymore." Sakura rolled her eyes at him. This guy always loved joking around like this.

Late at night.
The Yamanaka couple stayed in their room, discussing the matter. Strangely, compared to Ino, they seemed even more lost. It was as if they hadn’t even realized their daughter had grown up, and now, in the blink of an eye, she was about to become a mother.
"Sigh." Rino let out a long breath.
"It’s our fault too. We’ve been too busy with work lately and didn’t pay enough attention to Ino." Inoichi muttered, scratching his head, his emotions still a mess....

The response was straightforward, and Itachi's expression remained unchanged. Faced with the challenge ahead, he would not back down.
He took a step forward but suddenly stumbled as if tripped by something. His face paled slightly, and the ordinary Sharingan faded back into normal black pupil.
"Hmm?"
A ripple of doubt crossed Logan's mind as he glanced at Itachi, who seemed unwell.
‘Was there something wrong with his body?’
Whoosh…
However, the sharp ...

A fierce wind swept past, and in the line of sight, roaring arcs of lightning surged like the violently churning emotions of a single person.
Figures clashed ruthlessly, the cold glint of weapons slicing through the slanted sunlight as the floor cracked apart, electric sparks sizzling at their feet.
Logan realized he had said the wrong thing the moment he saw the furious charge directed at him.
His classic line, ‘It's for your own good’, had undoubtedly caused even great...

On the outermost clearing, the Konoha’s team took a rest.
Naruto tugged hard at his clothes, trying to smooth out the wrinkles from the previous battle. The ground around them still bore the scorch marks left by the rapid-fire combination of Lightning and Fire Release Ninjutsu. He grumbled angrily, "Hattori-sensei actually showed up, and he seems even stronger now..."
The members of two teams gathered around. Kakashi placed a hand on Naruto’s shoulder, signaling him to calm do...

"Where the hell did the Nibi’s Jinchuriki go!?"
Obito clenched his fists and roared in frustration.
Over the past few days, he had scoured every corner of Kumogakure, yet he couldn’t find even a trace of that woman.
He had even crossed paths with the Hachibi’s Jinchuriki, Killer B, multiple times… yet there was no sign of Yugito.
As for why he didn’t just capture B instead...
Obito wasn’t stupid.

Hearing this, Kiba was visibly stunned for a long moment, staring at Naruto. It took him about half a minute to snap out of it, blinking dazedly as if waking from a dream.

Choji: “…”

Flecks of light still floated in the air, the streak of the luminous arrow that had flashed between the two seeming like nothing more than an illusion. Yet the residual heat remained, carving a deep, scorched path a hundred meters long in its wake.
Logan stood amidst the fading embers of the Railgun, like a god descended from the heavens.

At that moment, Roshi and Han inside the house heard the commotion and rushed outside.

Senjutsu Chakra erupted as Logan transformed into a streak of light, whooshing past the spot where Obito had tried to block him, his speed climbing to its peak.
After that brief reunion with Mai, he pressed onward. Since he had already passed Obito and the Konoha’s team, it meant he was very close to the battlefield, to them. The closer he got, the more urgent he felt.
The forest blurred past. Sure enough, after just a few moments, he spotted the secluded structure a...

Logan pressed forward, finally sensing a familiar Chakra presence. What he saw was the scene unfolding in the clearing among the ancient trees.
With a quick glance, he had initially intended to bypass the area. He knew this was Obito intercepting the Konoha’s Ninja, and no casualties would occur.
His mind was preoccupied with the Uchiha brothers… He didn’t know how far things had progressed, what if Sasuke had already summoned lightning from the sky with a single gesture?

This was their secret code, and drinking tea meant going all out.
