On Saturday, as the morning sun half-emerged above the horizon, Severus and his companions were already packed and ready to go.
They had spent the night in the small town nearest to the farm and even managed to learn the location of Patty’s grandfather, old Polk’s grave.
Early in the morning, the four of them, along with Patty, drove to the cemetery near the town and eventually found the tombstone engraved with Polk’s name in a quiet corner.

In the end, Linne was old. Her physical strength, coordination, and overall combat capabilities had declined significantly. Unlike Netero, who was an Enhancer, her endurance in old age simply couldn’t hold.
Originally, this spar was meant to find out Law’s limits, and he just needed to demonstrate his full range of skills, not necessarily win.
However, neither of them expected the fight to last less than fifteen minutes before Linne twisted her back-

The next day.
The capital of the Kakin Empire remained as peaceful as ever.
It was as if nothing had happened the day before.
Presumably, it was because the royal family stepped in to suppress the news.
Just like those young women who had been skinned alive like livestock by Tserriednich, as even the slightest whisper of their fate would vanish without a trace in an instant.
"They’ve given up on investigating…?"
Moses had been keeping an eye on the situ...

Nasubi Hui Guo Rou faintly felt the disappearance of his bloodline.
Even before the Voyage to the New World, even the Succession Contest has not even begun, one of the princes had already fallen.
Realizing this sudden turn of events, Nasubi felt both fury and heartbroken.
However, having sat upon the throne for so many years, he did not let these emotions show on his face.
"Who could it be… Hui?"
Nasubi’s eyes sharpened.

Naruto's sudden attack stunned everyone present. Even the undercover operatives from Sunagakure and Otogakure failed to react in time.
Three straight punches carrying mountain-shattering force struck their targets almost simultaneously.
Among them, the sinister-looking female Ninja didn’t manage to dodge but bent backward like a snake, her body twisting bonelessly to mitigate the impact.
However, despite her quick reaction, the Armament Haki and Chakra coating Naruto’s f...

"Whoa, so this is the venue for the Chunin Exams?"
Outside the first exam’s venue, the three members of Team 7 looked at the noisy crowd inside, and each of them had different feelings.
First, there was Sakura. A couple of days ago, while Naruto was training Sasuke… and also ‘gathering material’ with Jiraiya, she happened to run into a disguised Ninja attack orchestrated by Iruka.
Though it was just a small test, and Sakura had ultimately declared that she would defi...

What puzzled Jiraiya was that even after a long time had passed, they still hadn't seen any Anbu’s Ninjas coming to check the situation.
‘It seemed someone must have already given them a heads-up.’
As Jiraiya was thinking this, he suddenly felt Naruto tugging at his sleeve.
"Jiraiya-sensei, tell me, what’s the principle behind that Summoning Technique of yours?"
The shameless uncle even batted his eyes at Jiraiya, putting on a starry-eyed act.

After the farce, Naruto finally cleared up the misunderstanding with Jiraiya properly.
…Though perhaps it wasn’t really a misunderstanding to begin with.
"Oh, I haven’t asked for your name yet."
Naruto had great respect for people who could create outstanding works of art, whether they were chefs or writers.
This was evident from his attitude toward Zeff at the Baratie.
Hearing Naruto’s question, Jiraiya recomposed himself, then suddenly leaped back, stri...

"That day's melancholy, when melancholy strikes... Hmm?"
On the streets of Konoha, Naruto was humming a little tune from another world with a toothpick in his mouth.
At the moment, he had just finished his daily training session with Sasuke and was taking a break to grab some food.
In order to prepare for the upcoming Chunin Exam.
To prepare for the upcoming Chunin Exams, Naruto hadn't just been teaching Sasuke about Haki… he'd also crammed in a bunch of techniques h...

"Next, I will formally teach you about Haki."
"Konohamaru, you three keep training. You're still far from being able to master Haki."
Giving Konohamaru a light tap on the head, Naruto successfully made the kid give up on eavesdropping and obediently continue his physical training with his two companions.
However, since he had undergone several special training sessions with Naruto, the weight of the boulder on Konohamaru's back far exceeded that of the other two kids.

Meanwhile, in a hidden room somewhere in Konoha, two shady figures met.
One of them removed the Kazekage hat from his head, but the face revealed beneath was not that of the current Kazekage. Instead, it was a pale, delicate visage.
The other had bandages wrapped around his head, covering one eye, and his hand was also entirely swathed in bandages.
"So, what brings you here in such a hurry, Danzo?"
Orochimaru smirked faintly, his eerie gaze fixed on the gloomy old man ...

As the Third Hokage, Hiruzen felt that what he was doing was essentially protecting Naruto.
Otherwise, not to mention his identity as a Jinchuriki, the status of the Fourth Hokage's son alone would be enough to make many of Minato's enemies target him.
By then, even if Hiruzen assigned guards to protect Naruto around the clock, the boy would still be at risk of assassination.
Deep-seated grudges couldn't be erased by just a decade or so of time.

At the same moment Team 7 was returning, deep within Mount Myoboku, inside the temple-
On a stone seat carved with the character for ‘Sage’, the Great Toad Sage… a wrinkled, ancient toad wearing a scholar's hat, suddenly awoke from his doze.
By his side, the two sages, Fukasaku and Shima, immediately noticed and approached him.
Before they could even ask, the Great Toad Sage spoke.

At first, Kakashi was somewhat skeptical about Naruto's claim of crossing worlds. But when he personally witnessed Naruto instantly ‘disappear’ in the middle of the night, he had no choice but to believe it.
This wasn't the dispersion of a Shadow Clone Technique or something like the Body Flicker Technique… it was a complete and utter vanishing act, with no Chakra fluctuations whatsoever.
What's more, Naruto had been sound asleep at the time.

"Yawn… so it really is like this."
In the Land of Waves, inside Tazuna’s house, Naruto let out a big yawn as he woke up.
Seeing the changed scenery, his earlier speculation about the crossing was confirmed.
Last night, after receiving his freshly maintained Mushoukou from Koushirou, they had held a celebration.
During the party, perhaps as an experiment to test the crossing theory, he had let himself drink freely.
Sure enough, when Naruto woke up again, he ha...

Out of caution, Kurama refrained from rashly ‘meeting’ Naruto's consciousness this time. Instead, he silently observed this unfamiliar world through Naruto's senses.
Kurama was also amazed at Naruto's sudden ‘transformation’ into an adult.
He had sensed something off before.
Even though he had been imprisoned inside Naruto for decades, when he first ‘came out of prison’ and met him, Naruto still appeared to be twelve years old.

The design of that katana is... eye-catching.
Literally eye-catching.
Naruto's description of it as a ‘decoration’ is not an exaggeration at all.
The blade was completely transparent, like crystal. Even when coated with Armament Haki, it couldn't be fully dyed black. Instead, it resembled a galaxy shimmering with infinite starlight.
To put it simply, it looked like a glass sword… always giving off the illusion of being sharp yet extremely fragile.

"Is that a Devil Fruit ability?"
Watching Naruto unleash his ninjutsu, the Straw Hat Pirates, who had been standing by without a chance to intervene, were utterly dumbfounded.

Ever since he learned the truth about his origins from Kakashi, a subtle gloom had lingered in his heart.
While he had no memories of the Fourth Hokage, Min...

This meant that her plan to save her hometown from Arlong and his crew had been completely ruined.

This tranquility didn’t last long before a small boat cut through the water like scissors, splitting the reflected sunlight in half.

Krieg could only feel that he had been set up by some invisible force, and everyone around him seemed to be acting against him.
Just as confused as him was Gin, who had just been betrayed by his captain and punched to the ground, now lying there questioning his life.
