Standing atop a large tree, Menma’s short black hair fluttered slightly in the wind, the hem of his robe billowing, while the cloak adorned with the pattern of the Nine Masked Beasts fluttered behind him.
He closed his eyes, his sensory perception spreading like an invisible tide, surging outward from him, sweeping across the vast forests, trickling streams, and human settlements.
With the Mind’s Eye of the Kagura operating at full capacity, the world in his consciousness shed...

"This power… this power…!"
A voice, deepened and distorted by transformation, came from the giant dog's mouth. But before Sasuke could carefully savor it further, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
Seeing this, Kakashi and Konohamaru nearby grew worried and wanted to do something, but Naruto stopped them in advance.
Despite how Konohamaru seemed to be at odds with Sasuke, they still had over a month of shared experiences.
"Don't get close."

Once upon a time, Sasuke had been taught a lesson by an attack from behind.
It could be said to have left a lifelong shadow.
Feeling the sense of danger from behind, Sasuke reacted like a startled cat, instantly unleashing his full power.
Even the concern for honor he had been holding onto earlier was thrown to the wind.
Crackle, crackle-
Before his body could even turn, Lightning Attribute Chakra was already gathering in his hand.
Because of his high conce...

“What? Snape is in Paris?”
At the British Ministry of Magic, the one who received the news first from France was none other than the Head of the Auror Office, Scrimgeour, who was currently preparing to establish a joint British-French Auror task force.
He clearly hadn’t expected that Severus, who had disappeared from Britain just a few days ago, had actually gone abroad!
The person responsible for delivering the message was Robards. He placed the attached news clipping...

These words first left Girard stunned for a few seconds. Quickly, she realized what Severus might be apologizing for.
A torch-like light immediately ignited in her eyes. The previously tense and worried expression also became somewhat excited.
"Oh, it's nothing... I mean, it's alright, Mr. Snape. Everyone makes mistakes. What we need to do is correct them... What did you want to say? Or, have you discovered some new clue that overturns your previous speculation?"

The Ohara Museum had suffered severe damage in roughly three areas: the main entrance, the banquet hall, and the vicinity of the Ancient Tree Museum.
Fortunately, the two equally extravagant palace-style buildings remained untouched, serving as the last line of defense tonight.
After Clover and the guests evacuated from the banquet, they took refuge in the palace and managed to survive the ordeal unscathed.
After the Phantom Troupe's retreat, Law hurriedly collected the thre...

The Phantom Troupe withdrew, leaving behind their bound spoils.
The museum was now empty except for Law. After some time, perhaps once the Troupe had retreated far enough, the Nen Threads binding the collected items vanished, causing the piled-up treasures to collapse to the ground with a series of crashes.
Law could have prevented it, but he didn’t. The collapse inevitably damaged many of the antiques.
Once everything had settled, scattered silently across the floor, Law ...

On the way back to the village from the training ground, a certain black-haired boy lifted a hand to scratch his cheek.
"Haruno Sakura, I... my mother heard we became teammates and wants me to invite you to dinner at my place!"
Hearing this, Naruto, who was following behind, immediately started making a fuss.
"Ah, you sly guy! I want to treat Sakura to a meal too!"
Turning his head, Sasuke's attitude changed instantly, scolding Naruto angrily.

Under the large tree, Naruto sat dejectedly at the base of the roots.
The shadows obscured his face, but his trembling body clearly spoke of the struggle within.
Above him, the sound of rustling leaves echoed as Kakashi landed lightly on a branch.
"Not going to keep fighting for the bells? You'll be sent back to the Academy, you know."
Kakashi flipped through the novel in his hand, casually provoking the dejected boy on the ground.

As Kyoya had anticipated-
A week later, Zaraki and Yachiru returned from the 4th Division, and Zaraki did not refuse the position of Lieutenant in the 11th Division.
Yachiru also began her challenges according to the rules of the 11th Division. Not only did she easily defeat Rangiku, but even the original third seat of the 11th Division, Ichinose Maki, was no match for her.
Thinking about it, Ichinose was really unlucky.
During the time when Kiganjo was the Captain, Ic...

Just as Kyoya was pondering how to elevate his abilities, Rangiku rushed into the Captain's office with reddened eyes.
"Gin left!"
"Kyoya, Gin said the 11th Division doesn’t need him anymore… is that true?"
‘That bastard Gin…!’
Hearing Rangiku’s question, Kyoya could only curse Gin inwardly for his underhanded tactics.
After all, it was clearly Gin’s own decision to get closer to Aizen to carry out the tasks assigned by Aizen, yet h...

The next day.
Menma lazily reclined on a lounge chair in the courtyard outside the newly built council hall of the Land of Stars, flipping through a scroll containing information about Yakushi Kabuto, or rather, ‘Kumamoto Kabuto’, with a playful smile on his lips.
Kabuto’s fabricated background was practically flawless.
Kumamoto City was the second-largest city in the Land of Stars, with a population of over 80,000, including more than a hundred orphans. Before Menma t...

In the classic small forest of Konoha, two figures were sparring.
Kakashi sat on a tree trunk, occasionally glancing down at the fight while reading the latest printed edition of the Icha Icha Series.
Bang!
Konohamaru supported himself with one hand on the ground, delivering a swift kick aimed at his opponent's chin.
The sole of his foot was coated with a rudimentary form of Armament Haki. If this kick landed squarely, even an average Chunin would have a hard time shak...

This person was none other than the daughter of the former Kazekage of Sunagakure, Temari.
During the previous Chunin Exams, because Orochimaru had been warned of the risks in advance, he killed the Kazekage before the Chunin Exams officially began to avoid any uncontrollable si...

"That hag ghost left, but whether the woods her heart guided her to were just any random woods or if she returned to the Pyrenees mountains, I never verified afterwards."
"It's still possible she was drawn back to her old haunt by the obsession in her heart."
Even if a definitive conclusion about ghosts couldn't be reached yet, Severus's gains from this trip were already extremely substantial.

Due to the vast size of the Ohara Museum, the dispatched police force couldn’t completely surround it.

Naruto and Sasuke, who had arrived early, looked at the dark sky in silence.
"Ah, why haven't Sakura and Kakashi-sensei come yet? And I have to stay with this stuck-up Sasuke."
Naruto slumped forward in despair, his head resting on the backpack he had brought.

It was easy to imagine just how devastating the slash would be once Kyoya swung it.
At the very least, among the many Captains present, only a handful felt confident they could block thi...

Eleven-year-old Yakushi Kabuto sat on his bed, flipping through a basic book on Medical Ninjutsu under the faint moonlight streaming through the window.
