After staying with Wayne for another day, Eva Green reluctantly left Zurich.
It couldn’t be helped; it wasn’t that she didn’t want to stay longer, but her body just couldn't take it anymore. In fact, if she hadn't been able to rest in the hotel while Wayne was filming during the day, she wouldn't have lasted even three days.
"No wonder that guy has two official girlfriends. If there was only one, she wouldn’t be able to handle it!" Eva thought as she yawned on the ...

Lima came by briefly and then left, staying only for two days.
Luca was also getting ready to head to Toronto with the film crew.
The "Mean Girls" crew had been filming in Los Angeles for a month, covering most of the scenes including the school, cafeteria, and auditorium. Only a few outdoor scenes were left to be filmed in Toronto.
Toronto, on the eastern coast of Canada along Lake Ontario in the Great Lakes region, is the...

The storage room wasn’t large. After being filled with clutter, it felt even more cramped.
However.
Anson didn’t mind at all. Calm and relaxed, he sat before the piano, shoulders open, back straight, radiating an air of ease. Even in this tiny space, he seemed to embrace the grandeur and vastness of the universe.
Without realizing it, the room fell into a quiet stillness.
His mind was completely clear—no worries, no thoughts...

Seimei's feeling was not wrong; Kirigakure was indeed targeting him.
Although Kirigakure didn't send anyone to scout the situation at Eagle's Beak Cliff beforehand for this surprise attack, they learned from a spy that the person in charge of guarding this place was him.
And Kirigakure had experienced his strength more than once, clearly understanding how difficult he was to deal with and knowing that ordinary methods would be hard to take him down.
Hence, they ma...
"What's this?"
Yukikaze stared at the palm of Seimei's left hand, his pupils suddenly dilating.
He saw a giant shuriken, formed from condensed chakra, rapidly spinning there, tearing the surrounding air and creating a whistling sound.
This familiar scene made Yukikaze's hair stand on end.
However, it was too late to retreat now.
Gritting his teeth, Yukikaze controlled the ice dragon to extend its claws, grabbing directly at Seimei.
Seimei didn...
After many days of practice, Seimei's "Rasengan" had reached the peak of lv6, just one step away from lv7.
Therefore, although the chakra ball he had just condensed didn't look big, it actually contained over five hundred points of chakra.
The destructive power caused by such a large amount of chakra bursting out at once was unimaginable.
"Akao!"
Seeing Matsushita Akao vomiting blood profusely, another Kiri-nin Jonin shouted.
However, Matsushita Akao...
"Kill!"
A few moments later, the wind tornado dissipated, the gale ceased, and the two sides clashed, emitting deafening shouts of battle.
A flash of green light appeared as Seimei used the "Instantaneous Body Flicker Technique" to approach one of the enemies. His long sword swung out, slicing through the opponent's throat before they could react.
Immediately after, his figure flickered, dodging a kunai thrust from the side. He countered with the "Illusionary Swor...
More than half an hour later.
Seimei and the others returned to Eagle's Beak Cliff.
However, before they got close, Konoha ninjas appeared and stopped them.
Obviously, the shadow clone that returned earlier had already arranged personnel for defense.
After verifying their identities, Seimei and the others successfully returned to the clifftop stronghold.
Seimei dispelled the "Shadow Clone Jutsu," absorbing the memories of the shadow clone from this p...
*Chapter 61: Faint Thunder, Overcast Sky*
The situation in Konoha was far more complicated than anything White Zetsu had managed to uncover. Even Uchiha Obito never expected the envoy from the Mist Village to have such a huge impact on Konoha. It seemed like the village was on the brink of internal conflict without even needing the Mist's army to set foot on the Land of Fire.
"You’re saying members of 'Root' have made their move?"
In a park in the center of the v...

"Ding dong! Synthesis failed. Would you like to try again?"
Shiro smiled wryly. With such a low success rate, failure was inevitable. Still, there was a trace of frustration in his heart.

The year 2002 wasn't when social networks completely invaded everyday life, as they would twenty years later, but the core principles of communication and marketing remained the same.
Creating a buzz and sparking a hot topic is only the first step; the real key lies in getting the general public involved, making them feel a sense of participation, and becoming a part of it themselves—
Similar to how fashion works: when s...

Clang!
A crisp metallic clash rang out.
The long sword and kunai collided, scattering sparks.
As the two were locked in a struggle, several shuriken were thrown by other Kiri-nin, attacking Seimei from behind and the side.
Sensing the danger, Seimei immediately released his grip, flashed away from his original spot, and escaped the shuriken's attack range.
However, these Kiri-nin were relentless. Seeing him dodge, they immediately threw more shuriken...
Time goes back a few minutes.
Just as Seimei was closing his eyes to digest the training experience and memories of his shadow clones, Uchiha Tetsuka suddenly discovered traces of Kiri-nin.
Yes, it was sudden, and it wasn't those small reconnaissance boats that could only carry a few people, but four large warships that could accommodate hundreds of people.
Logically speaking, on this vast sea, let alone four such large warships, even a few small boats should have...
An hour later.
The sky gradually darkened.
Seimei and the others returned to Eagle's Beak Cliff.
Afterward, they waited for about another half an hour until all the patrol teams returned to the stronghold.
Then, Seimei began to listen to their reports.
Based on their reports, Seimei realized that not only his team hadn't encountered any Kirigakure ninjas today, but neither had the other teams.
"Could it be that Kirigakure has given up on recon...
"Hmm, this is the place!"
A minute later, Seimei arrived at a rocky beach and nodded in satisfaction.
He had spotted this place while observing the surroundings from the boat earlier, and it was perfect for settling down.
Although with his current chakra level, he could stand on the sea for 24 hours without any problems, it still didn't feel as secure as having solid ground beneath his feet.
However, the rocks beneath his feet needed some adjustments, or th...
The next day.
Early morning.
When the first ray of sunlight shone through the window and onto his face, Seimei opened his eyes.
A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, but Seimei quickly regained his clarity.
He got out of bed, washed up, went to the stronghold's canteen, and ate some food to fill his stomach. Then, he sought out Uchiha Tetsuka.
Uchiha Tetsuka, who was assigning tasks, saw him coming over and said in surpris...

At the entrance, Frank, a beggar with a hat for donations, waved at Hawk, calling out, "Looks like someone's looking for you—a girl with a great figure."

Moreover, the attire of the guards was completely different from what he had experienced.
