Chapter 77: The Daimyo’s Shady Dealings, The Squad’s New Mission

“What, isn’t that the case?” Nawaki asked, feeling a bit lost in Takuya’s explanation.

Minato nodded in agreement.

Takuya nudged Minato over, making room for himself between the two. He picked up a stick and started drawing circles in the dirt.

“This is the Rain Country battlefield. Here’s the area each of the four forces currently occupies. We, Konoha, are here. Over here is the Sand Village, and here’s the Rain Village. The Rain Village holds the largest terr...

Chapter 76: Nawaki Starts to Wake Up, Konoha’s Double Standards

They had just barely escaped a deadly pursuit, and for a moment, they thought they were done for. But now that the enemy jonin was dead, leaving only chunin and genin behind, what was there to be afraid of? Just go after them and finish the job!

Besides, Takuya had a point: chasing down the enemy not only avenges their earlier struggle but also earns them battle merits.

It didn’t matter if they were chunin or genin—taking them out would still count as merits.

Luckily for...

Chapter 75: Did You Think Avoiding My Eyes Would Save You From Genjutsu?

As he looked at the charred remains still smoldering on the ground, Takuya patted Minato’s shoulder and reassured him:

“No need to rush. There’ll be plenty of enemies to go around. Besides, you’re destined to become the fastest man in the ninja world. Just aim to be quicker than me next time.”

I don’t believe a word you’re saying! Fastest man in the ninja world? I know exactly what you mean by that.

Minato wanted no part of such a title. He had his pride as a m...

Chapter 74: Ambushed? Lock the Door and Unleash Nawaki!

Hanzo double-checked the intel.

If it hadn’t come from one of his most trusted operatives, he would’ve thought someone was playing a prank on him.

Could it be that I, Hanzo the Salamander, am falling behind the times?

“Getting old, huh? These young folks sure know how to have fun,” Hanzo sighed, unable to picture the scenario.

Even if the rumors were likely false, who cared?

At this point, even if it was all a lie, the Third Kazekage’s reputation was al...

Chapter 73: The Third Kazekage: The First to Suffer Public Humiliation in the Ninja World

Takuya clicked his tongue in amazement.

“So, he’s really going all out, huh? Just to get rid of me, Yagami Takuya, he’s willing to sacrifice his own reputation. Well, I’m not one to miss an opportunity. Let’s add some fuel to this fire and watch it burn even brighter.”

As long as the Third Kazekage doesn’t mind dying of embarrassment, I’m good with it.

You want to assassinate me? Want to snuff out Yagami Takuya early?

Then go ahead and try. Let’s see ...

Chapter 72: If You Play Tricks, Don't Blame Me for Playing Back

"Do you want everyone to think I'm crazy?" Takuya rolled his eyes at Tsunade, which only made her angrier.

She raised her hand, ready to strike, but hesitated and reluctantly lowered it when she noticed Takuya’s eyes starting to turn red.

The message was clear: if you dare to hit me, I’ll make sure you suffer public humiliation.

Wanna test me?

Orochimaru and Jiraiya both watched with expressions of amusement. Minato wore his usual troubled smile, while Nawaki curio...

Chapter 71: Yes, I Did Make the Third Kazekage Drink a Basin of Foot-Washing Water

At this point in time, Orochimaru's ambition was to master all ninjutsu rather than delve into the dark arts of immortality research.

Orochimaru had a deep fascination with various forms of ninjutsu and genjutsu, and there was no doubt that he had his eyes on the Sakura Fall Genjutsu.

Tsunade couldn't help but instinctively shrink her neck when she remembered how she and Takuya used to mess around. A genjutsu capable of controlling a Jōnin? That didn’t scare her. But one that e...

Chapter 118: Introducing the Essence of Guerrilla Warfare to the Shinobi World

It didn't take Uchiha Akira long to understand what Uchiha Itachi meant. Previously, when facing Orochimaru and Sasori, Akira had revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan, genuinely intending to use Kotoamatsukami to bring Orochimaru under his control. The Akatsuki members were aware of this, and Itachi likely thought Akira still wanted to recruit Orochimaru. By sending this message, Itachi was subtly informing Akira that now was the best opportunity to do so. Orochimaru had now betrayed both Konoha ...

Chapter 117: A Message from Uchiha Itachi

After the Akatsuki meeting ended and everyone had discussed what needed to be discussed, the members gradually dispersed. Orochimaru’s reasoning for his actions during the previous mission was deemed acceptable, especially with Itachi's testimony supporting his explanation. As a result, Orochimaru did not face any punishment for abandoning Sasori during their mission.

However, the incident made it clear that the partnership between Sasori and Orochimaru was no longer viable. Coinciden...

Chapter 116: The Akatsuki's Shock—Uchiha Akira Has Such a Devastating Weapon?

For Uchiha Akira, things were going quite well. His relationship with Sasuke was excellent—after all, Sasuke was the reincarnation of Indra. And now, Naruto was also extremely grateful to him—Naruto being the reincarnation of Asura. With both the main protagonist and the deuteragonist firmly on his side, what could possibly go wrong?

As for handing Naruto over to Jiraiya, Akira had his reasons. First, Akira simply didn't have the time or energy to teach Naruto all the foundational k...

Chapter 115: Jiraiya's Amazement—The Uchiha Clan is About to Produce a Remarkable Figure

Though Uchiha Akira managed to teach Naruto the Rasengan without even knowing how to perform it himself, Jiraiya found himself questioning his once-unshakable confidence in his teaching abilities. However, as the events unfolded, Jiraiya realized he had misunderstood the Uchiha.

Initially, Jiraiya had assumed that bringing a seven-year-old Naruto to the battlefield was akin to sending him to die, perhaps even as a way to eliminate him. But now, seeing Kakashi on the team reassured Jirai...

Chapter 114: Naruto: He's Also One of the Sannin? No Wonder None of Them Are Any Good!

"Akira, you arrived just in time! This white-haired old man was trying to steal my Rasengan!" Naruto shouted with excitement when he saw Uchiha Akira arrive.

"Who stole your technique? Are you an idiot? Do you think Rasengan is so easy to steal?" Jiraiya, already agitated, retorted angrily at Naruto, who kept insisting on the theft.

"I may not be smart, but I managed to learn Rasengan in just a few days. So, it's not surprising that you, old man, could steal it!" Naruto responded,...

Chapter 113: Jiraiya Is Stunned!

Jiraiya was filled with anger as he made his way toward the border. His anger was directed at the current Hokage and the Uchiha clan.

Due to his close relationship with the Third Hokage, Jiraiya had never harbored any fondness for the Uchiha. But when he learned that seven-year-old Naruto Uzumaki had been sent to the battlefield, his anger intensified.

Sending a seven-year-old child to the battlefield? That’s practically sending him to die! Even during the First, Second, and Thi...

Chapter 112: Life Simulation—Isn't It Like Getting the Script in Advance?

After Orochimaru's departure, Sasori also managed to escape, leaving behind his puppet armor, Hiruko. Uchiha Akira and his team had no intention of pursuing them.

When a Kage-level shinobi truly wants to flee, it's nearly impossible for the likes of Akira and his team to stop them. As the enemies retreated, everyone from Konoha finally let out a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Uchiha Akira and Might Guy deactivated their Eight Gates. An overwhelming sense of exhaustion hit them,...

Chapter 111: Using Kotoamatsukami to Subdue Orochimaru?

"Summoning Jutsu!"

As Sasori summoned the puppet of the Third Kazekage, Orochimaru bit his finger, quickly forming hand signs before slamming his palm onto the ground. The inky black runes of the summoning circle spread out like an umbrella. Moments later, with a puff of white smoke, a massive snake appeared before everyone.

"Orochimaru, have you prepared the sacrifices?" The enormous snake, known as Manda, spoke with little respect for Orochimaru, despite being his summoned beast...

Chapter 110: Sasori: Is There a Mole Among Us!?

The Land of Wind is primarily a barren desert, making water sources extremely scarce.

After severely wounding the elite vanguard unit of the Land of Wind, Uchiha Akira's team left signals along the border before heading toward the border of the Land of Earth. With thousands of Konoha ninja converging in this direction, they would understand what had transpired once they saw the signals left behind.

Three days later, Uchiha Akira and his group arrived at a lakeside. The borderlands...

Chapter 109: Orochimaru: Did Uchiha Akira Predict My Attack Again?

Kakashi looked at Uchiha Akira with a strange expression, almost as if he was silently asking, "Are you taking me for a fool, or are you the fool here?"

"Akira," Kakashi finally spoke, calming the odd feelings brewing inside him. He felt compelled to remind Akira, "I only have one Sharingan, and I don't have Uchiha blood."

"And?" Uchiha Akira's expression remained unchanged as he continued to gaze at Kakashi.

Kakashi found himself at a loss for words. Was there really more t...

Chapter 108: Kakashi, Have You Ever Considered That Your Eye Might Be a Mangekyō?

"We've located the enemy. It appears to be an elite vanguard unit from Sunagakure, approximately six kilometers from our current position," Hyūga Hiashi reported, veins bulging around his eyes as he fully activated his Byakugan. He detailed the scene he observed down to the smallest detail.

"There are a total of twenty-four individuals, and from their movements, it's clear they're all Jōnin. These will be tough opponents," Hiashi continued.

Uchiha Akira couldn't help but mentall...

Chapter 107: Tsunade Returns to the Village, Jiraiya Confronts the Hokage

In a gambling den on a busy street in the Land of Lightning, a blonde woman stared intently at the dice cup on the table.

However, the gamblers around her only pretended to glance casually before focusing their attention on the cup. This woman was well-known among the gambling circles—a notorious easy mark.

She appeared to be a young woman in her twenties, with attractive features and a voluptuous figure, her pigtails adding a youthful flair. Yet, in reality, she was already fif...

Chapter 106: Turning the Tables, Counterattack Against Orochimaru and Sasori

Just when Hiashi Hyuga thought he could finally relax, he was taken aback by Uchiha Akira's words and found himself growing tense again. Could Naruto Uzumaki have really learned the Rasengan, an A-rank jutsu, in just ten days? And to master it while traveling? How could that even be possible?

"Heh heh heh, Akira, I was planning to surprise you by using the Rasengan during an enemy attack, but you already knew I mastered it!" Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head with a sheepish grin, reveal...

Chapter 105: The Second Million-Level Life Simulation

Uchiha Akira regretted it, feeling like the biggest fool in existence!

This mission to the border was supposed to be about showcasing Konoha’s strength and deterring other ninja villages from making any reckless moves. Yet, he had foolishly brought along Akimichi Choza. Granted, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio is one of Konoha's top combinations—when the three of them team up, their synergy is so strong that it’s not an exaggeration to say they could rival a Kage-level opponent.

But ...

Chapter 104: 10 Million Secured, Time for Another Simulation!

Well, isn’t this something? Hearing Uchiha Akira’s words, Kakashi couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly, Unbelievable!

So, he can teach others things he hasn’t fully mastered himself? It’s like how some people are single yet act like relationship gurus, giving advice to others on how to date.

But if it were anyone else saying this, it would just seem like misguided advice or nonsense. However, coming from Uchiha Akira…

“I’ve ...

Chapter 103: I Can't Create the Rasengan, But That Doesn’t Mean I Can’t Teach It

Looking at his own situation, Akira Uchiha considered himself barely at the entry level of Kage rank. Might Guy, after opening the Seventh Gate, could temporarily boost his strength to the Kage level. So, in total, they had only two Kage-level fighters.

Given that they were both injured and poisoned, it wasn’t exactly surprising that they got wiped out by Orochimaru and Sasori of the Red Sand.

Also, it's worth mentioning that back in Konoha, when Akira took down the Third Hokage...

Chapter 70: Uchiha Makes a Move, Danzo’s Killing Intent Rises

Why did he deliberately omit the part about the Third Kazekage in the Hokage’s office? This wasn’t just a lack of trust in him; it was a lack of trust in the entire village.

“Send a message to the front lines. Have Tsunade investigate the truth of this situation. We’ll discuss the rest once everything is clear,” the Third Hokage instructed. He desperately hoped that the intelligence division’s report was false. If it turned out to be true, things would become very complicate...

Chapter 69: A Genius in Konoha Comparable to the God of Shinobi

“Won’t lighting a fire here attract the enemy?” Nawaki asked as he sat by the fire, drying his clothes. He couldn’t help but add, “By the way, Takuya, why is your Body Flicker Technique so explosive?”

“Not just explosive,” Minato chimed in, “but also incredibly fast!”

Minato had long accepted that, when it came to the Body Flicker Technique, Takuya was unmatched. His own explosive speed and power were nothing compared to Takuya’s. Fortunately, Minato had a po...

Chapter 68: A Puppet Master? Just Another Disappointment

Minato had been smart enough to keep his raincoat on, but Nawaki, for some inexplicable reason, had neatly folded his and now struggled to put it back on, wasting precious time. Frustrated, he eventually gave up and just ran after Takuya, letting the rain soak him.

Not far from their outpost, a group of Konoha shinobi were fleeing for their lives, pursued by several Sand shinobi. At this point, the Village Hidden in the Rain was a chaotic battleground, with Konoha, Sand, Stone, and Rain...

Chapter 67: The Enemy Faces Three Brats—If They’re Lucky, That’s the Worst That’ll Happen

The sealing scroll was taken far from the camp by Snowy, who then destroyed it completely. Not even a trace of the bodies remained—not a single hair. Even if Danzo’s men turned the camp upside down, they wouldn’t find any clues, let alone any evidence. Root operatives searched all night, combing through the camp and even venturing outside its perimeter, but in the end, they found nothing. Danzo was furious, his entire body trembling with rage.

For some, it was a night desti...

Chapter 66: Danzo Refuses Negotiation, Tsunade Leaves in Anger

“The actions of Sunagakure are clearly intended to bog us down in the Land of Rain, preventing the war from ending quickly,” Tsunade said sternly, her voice firm as she continued, “Additionally, the Third Hokage has proposed negotiations with Hanzo to bring a swift end to the war, allowing us to turn our attention to the enemies invading the Land of Fire.”

This was the will of the Third Hokage; Tsunade was merely conveying the message. Whether Danzo was willing to listen or not ...

Chapter 65: Is This the Extent of Root's Ninja?

“I ran into Orochimaru-sensei earlier at the Medical Corps. It looked like he was headed to the Logistics Department. If you go now, you should be able to catch him,” Takuya casually mentioned to Nawaki as he curled up with Snowy under the covers, ready to sleep.

After staying up all night, Takuya was feeling drowsy. As for Snowy, she was the perfect bodyguard, a protective charm, and a cozy little heater all rolled into one. Plus, her fluffy fur made her a comforting cuddle buddy.<...

Chapter 64: If You Have the Guts, Go Argue with Tsunade! Why Are You Staring at Me?

Orochimaru and Jiraiya had returned to the camp and headed to Tsunade's tent when Danzo decided to consult with them on some strategic matters. However, just as he reached the tent’s entrance, he overheard Tsunade’s words, and his temper flared.

This is supposed to be the village’s top secret, and you, Tsunade, are just casually spilling it like that?

One of Root’s operatives pulled back the tent flap, and Danzo entered with a scowl on his face, snapping, “Tsuna...
