Off the coast of Uzushiogakure, about twenty kilometers away near the Land of Waves, a small fishing boat bobbed like a leaf on the waves.
The old fisherman on the boat cast his net into the sea and then sat cross-legged at the bow, pulling out a pipe to wait quietly.
He waited for passing fish to get tangled in the net, unable to break free. When the time was right, he would haul the net back in. Repeating this a few times, if luck was on his side, he might catch some rare fish t...

Their eyes locked. Facing Menma's invitation, Uchiha Hikari took the initiative to attack, charging forward like an arrow loosed from its bow.
Her small feet, still bound by chains, kicked off the wall, turning her entire body into a blur as she shot toward Menma with a gust of fierce wind.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Within the ruins of Uzushiogakure, two figures clashed fiercely among the vine-covered, broken walls and rubble.
Hikari displayed the exquisite Taijutsu of the Uch...

In a room filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant, Tayuya, Jirobo, and Kidomaru, who had already recovered, knelt before Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru-sama..."
Tayuya seemed to be hesitant to speak, a behavior she had repeated many times over the past two days.
"Speak. What has Naruto-kun done this time?"
Orochimaru remained fully focused on his experiment. His current cloned body was nearing its limit, but fortunately, the new ‘vessel’ he had created using Hidan's...

These researchers, with a combat power of five, stood no chance against Naruto. And as for calling for reinforcements?
Well, the reinforcements they were hoping for were currently upstairs, fast asleep.
…Well, there was also the possibility that the escaped prisoners might kill them on their way out, but that wasn’t Naruto’s concern.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Even if Naruto had been present, he probably wouldn’t have stopped them.

Tayuya was currently in a state of panic.
The reason was simple.
Just now, Orochimaru had ordered her to escort that terrifying Uzumaki Naruto to a guest room to rest. But the moment she turned her back, the guy had vanished.
After witnessing the conversation between Orochimaru and Naruto firsthand, Tayuya had silently raised her assessment of the boy's threat level in her mind.
Allowing someone like him to roam freely inside this hideout was no different from tossing ...

Led by Severus, he, Granger, and Lyall left the apartment.
The three of them ignored the darkening sky and plunged straight into Sherwood Forest.
This woodland was part of England’s nature reserve. It is vast and largely uninhabited, with only the outer regions occasionally used as filming locations for certain movies.
By the time they entered the forest, the sky had completely darkened. The woods buzzed with the sounds of cicadas and frogs, and it was nearly pitch-black.<...

Beachy Head.
This was a coastal cliff located in southern England, the tallest in Britain.
The werewolf, Fenrir Greyback, had led his followers on a wild chase across various parts of England, evading the Aurors before finally settling their hideout in a secluded clearing surrounded by reefs at the base of this sea cliff.
He had thick, brownish hair swept back and flowing behind him, with a dense beard that connected to the sideburns on his cheeks. Clearly, his followers wer...

Quicksand forms due to various factors, usually maintaining a delicate balance. But once that balance is disrupted, it creates a sinkhole.

Ging stepped up beside Moses. His expression was the same as Moses’s, slightly solemn.
"Doesn’t look like fire… and it’s not withering either..."
Resting a finger on his chin, Ging’s eyes showed a thoughtful look.
Moses tilted his head to look at Jin and nodded, "Yeah. To me, it feels more like… the life was sucked out of everything here."
"Sucked out?"
Ging was slightly startled, then shook his head and said, "If we go by your description, then judgi...

Finding a relatively safe place to dock along the shores of the Dark Continent was no easy feat.
Moses and Ging engraved the Teleportation Divine Script as quickly as possible as a guarantee.
However, compared to the Divine Script with the functions of alarm and reinforcement, the Teleportation Divine Script held little significance.
Because the Dark Continent is simply too vast, and once the team ventured deep inland, the increasing distance would naturally exceed the telep...

Uchiha Hikari was a weapon of war for the Uchiha Clan during the Warring States Period.
She was originally an ordinary girl from the Uchiha Clan, but then she awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan after witnessing the brutal deaths of her parents. Her unique Dojutsu, [Yachihoko], was so powerful that the Uchiha Clan raised her as a weapon of war.
Later, she was sealed away through the combined efforts of the Senju and Sarutobi Clans.
Originally, Menma had speculated that Hikari’...

Naruto appeared to have lost his patience, his overwhelming Haki spreading outwards.
The surrounding guards collapsed almost instantly, while the Sound Four were forced to activate their second-stage Cursed Seals just to remain conscious.
Seeing that the talks were about to break down and they were about to fight, Kidomaru and Sakon and Ukon from the Sound Four were the first to attack.

With the group taking turns using Ninjutsu to accelerate the boat, they didn’t spend much time before arriving at an island.
This was one of Orochimaru’s branch bases, referred to as the Southern Hideout.
One could say Naruto’s luck this time wasn’t too bad, as there were no incidents of getting lost at sea like before.
Or perhaps it was because the ones steering the boat were Orochimaru’s subordinates.

At the harbor of the hot spring town in the Land of Hot Water, Naruto had set up a small grill. Skewered on it was a skinned and gutted snake, its meat sizzling as fat dripped onto the flames.
Though the portion was small, it would be a waste not to eat it.
Neither Jiraiya nor Karin were with him. Naruto had instructed them to lay low for the time being.

From start to finish, he never lowered the gun he had been aiming. Even after Lyall finished explaining who his son was.
On the contrary, he raised the barrel of the shotgun slightly, pointing the dark muzzle at Lyall’s head, while coldly asking Severus, "This man is connected to those gang of robbers, isn’t he?"
Lyall turned to stare at Mr. Granger, or rather, at the shotgun in his hands. As a wizard married to a Muggle, Lyall kne...

Three minutes after Moses inserted the black needle.
The black tendrils had completely enveloped the Guide, and an Eye of Sight sprouted on its shoulder.
Kyoka Suigetsu had activated two minutes earlier than expected.
This was likely because the Guide’s strength was weak, especially in terms of Manifested Aura. To Moses, the Guide felt like a Nen User who had only just mastered the basics, barely grasping the concept of Ten.
Moses walked straight up to the Guide.

The fierce battle lasted only a few minutes, yet Kusagakure had already suffered heavy casualties.
With overwhelming strength, the Nine Masked Beasts cleared a vast area around the hospital, slaughtering Kusagakure’s Ninjas mercilessly.
Under the leadership of Ryuki, Kusagakure’s Anbu fought desperately to guard the leader of their village, Koji. They used various Ninjutsu, weaving a defensive net that barely held back the combined assault of Genbu and Suzaku.

If not for the weathered village’s symbol at the entrance, it would be hard to believe this was a Ninja Village.

The Uchiha's Sharingan is essentially a form of Yin Release, which will undergo extreme transformations under intense emotional stimulation.
Although the Sharingan obtained from Orochimaru was only a Two-Tomoe one, Menma combined his research on Kekkei Genkai from the Limited Tsukuyomi World and stimulated it with Yin Attribute Chakra, successfully evolving it into a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
While this Sharingan was still far inferior to the Mangekyo Sharingan, with it, Menma could ...
