As Kirk Douglas's influence continues to wane, the Douglas family's clout within the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is also rapidly declining. After all, connections and influence require vested interests to be maintained.
With Harvey's current network and influence, taking down the Douglas family wouldn't be difficult. In fact, given his significant sway within the Academy, it would be easier for him than for others at his level.

“I understand, Sasuke,” Naruto replied, his expression more serious than ever.
Turning to Minato, he added, “Dad, the battle ahead isn’t something you can participate in. Please take Bushy-Brows Sensei away from the battlefield.”
“I understand. Naruto, Sasuke, be careful,” Minato said, casting a deep look at Aizen before carrying Might Guy and vanishing into the Allied Forces’ ranks.
No sooner had Minato left than a scream echoed in the distance.

"Cut!"
Filming was over—finally. The shoot in the ice and snow had come to an end, at least for now, but Anson remained motionless.
He still held his upper body straight, relying on his core strength, looking around with a sense of confusion and uncertainty.
A little lost, a little confused, a little sad, and a little heartbroken.
For a brief moment, he genuinely believed Clementine had vanished. He couldn’t help but wonder—wh...

**Chapter 573: This Guy is Too Capable**
*Inglourious Basterds* is a movie that plays like an alternate history of World War II.
During the mid-stage of WWII, battles rage across Europe as the Nazis and the Allies clash in a stalemate.
In the German-occupied central France, a young French woman, Shosanna Dreyfus (played by Mélanie Laurent), witnesses her family’s massacre by SS Colonel Hans Landa (portrayed by Luca Kelly). She narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, wher...

The Root members scattered throughout the underground responded in unison.
These voices sounded like they came from a single person.
Their expressions were hidden behind their masks.
But their determination and loyalty could be felt in their voices.
These Root members were nominally Anbu of Konoha, but in reality, they were Danzo's private army.
Each of them had several seals on their b...

After killing two people in quick succession, Seimei's actions didn’t stop.
A flash of green light appeared on him as he once again used the "Instant Sword Technique" to teleport in front of another Hidden Mist chunin.
*Clang!*
The sound of blades clashing rang out as sparks flew when his longsword collided with a kunai.
The Hidden Mist chunin, catching a glimpse of Seimei’s raised left hand and recalling the fate of his companion moments earlier, quick...

A large mouthful of blood sprayed out from the Mist Jōnin's mouth.
His entire body was sent flying backward, slamming heavily against a tree.
With his back taking the brunt of the impact, the Mist Jōnin spat out another mouthful of blood.
When he finally landed, he was unable to get back up.
Clearly, without prior preparation, even a true Jōnin couldn't withstand a single hit from a "Rasengan."

When the gap in power grows too vast, even the simplest of techniques can become devastatingly effective.
What’s more, the Gentle Fist technique was never weak to begin with.
At an equal level, the Gentle Fist can be considered a lethal move.
Unfortunately, the Hyuga clan has long failed to live up to its potential, never fully developing this formidable taijutsu style.
Yet, in Kimimaro’s hands, the power of the ...

"So this is the feeling of killing!"

An indescribable feeling.
Sasuke looked down at the corpse of the Iwagakure ninja. It felt different to personally kill someone compare...

Seeing the Mist Ninja charging toward him, Seimei quickly threw several shurikens.
Noticing this, the Mist Ninja dodged to the side and continued to advance without hesitation.
Seimei narrowed his eyes slightly at this.
In the next moment, he threw several more shurikens.
These moved faster than the first and overtook them mid-air.
The sound of "clang, clang" echoed as the shurikens suddenly changed direction, targeting the Mist Ninja from ...

Indeed, for a while now, he had been fending off the attacks of two Hidden Mist special j...

That afternoon, outside Yujin Port, in a forested area:
Seimei withdrew his hand from the body of a Mist Shinobi chūnin, letting the lifeless form collapse to the ground.
At that moment, a Konoha chūnin approached him, one arm hanging limply by his side. The man wasn’t a stranger; he was Hyūga, who had been following him for quite some time.
