Standing outside the crater, Menma's face beneath his mask was full of confusion.
He had only intended to mess with Orochimaru, but the Snake Sannin, drawing from his own twisted logic, had somehow concluded that Shura was from the future.
This made Menma realize that Orochimaru hadn’t yet used the Living Corpse Reincarnation.
From what Menma vaguely recalled, Orochimaru had used the technique at least five times. And by the time of the Chunin Exams, he had already switche...

In the dim underground space, the smoke from the Summoning Technique gradually dissipated.
Orochimaru stood atop Manda's head, his vertical golden serpentine pupils gleaming coldly as he gazed at Shura, who had retreated calmly after landing a successful strike.
A complex mix of emotions churned in his eyes… humiliation from being toyed with, wariness toward unknown power, and the fury of having his bottom line crossed.
"Even if it's a hundred, no… a thousand, I'll get t...

"Shura-sama!" Gotta arrived at the stone chamber entrance and reported in a low voice, "A Konoha’s Ninja pursued us into the cavern and has been captured."
Inside the chamber, Menma was flipping through the historical scrolls of the Iburi Clan. Hearing this, he slightly raised his eyes.
He had already guessed that Kakashi would likely come after them.
And as for the following events, the scene where Yamato rescued Kakashi, and the two being taken away by Yukimi… those ev...

Menma had an almost obsessive pursuit of researching the Kekkei Genkai of various Ninja Clans.
When he was in the Limited Tsukuyomi World, he also enjoyed collecting the Kekkei Genkai, studying their genes in an attempt to unravel the secrets of the Otsutsuki Clan.
As is widely known, every clan in the current Ninja World with unique abilities can trace their ancestry back to the Sage of Six Paths.
For instance, the famous Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan, the Byakugan of the Hy...

The unique Kekkei Genkai of the Iburi Clan allows them to transform their bodies into smoke.
It’s somewhat similar to the Hozuki Clan’s Hydrification Technique, rendering them nearly immune to physical attacks.
However, the Iburi Clan’s Kekkei Genkai has a fatal flaw… they cannot freely control their bodies once they turn into smoke. If blown by the wind, they scatter and perish completely.
Because of this, the clan is forced to live in an underground world devoid of...

"Old man! I'm back!" The window of the Hokage's office was pushed open from the outside, and a heavily intoxicated Jiraiya, reeking of alcohol, stumbled in,
Seated in the Hokage's chair, processing the documents while lost in thought, Hiruzen was startled by Jiraiya's sudden arrival. He turned to see Jiraiya trip and fall onto the floor from the windowsill.
The Anbu hidden around the room, who were tasked with protecting the Hokage, silently averted their gazes, suppressing their ...

Hokage Building, Anbu’s base.
Kakashi, with silver hair and without his Anbu mask, stood silently among the numerous Anbu’s Ninjas wearing various animal masks. He quietly pressed a medicinal patch onto the wound on his forehead.
After Orochimaru escaped, Kakashi went to chase him immediately and encountered Orochimaru outside the village’s barrier.
However, the current Kakashi had yet to emerge from the shadow of Rin's death. His mind was still clouded, and the strain...

Tennyo used her ribbon to roll up the scroll, flicked it lightly in the air to shake off the disgusting mucus, and then handed it to Menma.
Taking the scroll, Menma infused it with chakra to sense its contents. Indeed, the sealing scroll contained a vast, surging life force, pulsing like the tides.

Hiruzen looked solemn as he stepped into the dimly lit tunnel, flanked by two Jonin… Kakashi and Suzume.
Meanwhile, deep within the secret base, the massive explosion jolted Orochimaru from his research.
"Heh heh... I expected you to arrive sooner, Sarutobi-sensei." Orochimaru murmured as he slowly turned around, his golden, serpentine eyes glinting under the cold light of the laboratory.
At this time, he was still wearing a Jonin vest and a Konoha’s forehead protector. ...
