The Spirit of Vengeance had no choice but to change its faith.
Herman had reforged it with his divine fire, reshaping its essence from the inside out. It was like reinstalling a brand-new operating system into a machine. The angel it once was had now become something molded entirely in Herman’s image.
The will that once belonged to God’s right-hand angel was erased, replaced by nothing more than a soulless Spirit of Vengeance.
This change meant the Ghost Rider’s consci...

The Hokage’s thoughts could never revolve around just two people.
His duty was to consider the entire village.
Taking him in as a disciple and placing him in ANBU—this was the greatest protection Minato could offer.
Hakken understood that perfectly. Still, as he stepped out of the Hokage Building, a quiet sigh escaped him.
The threads of fate had been tied at last.
Minato would never know how greatly his kindness would one day be repaid.

Kage.
The title given to the supreme leader of a village.
The Hokage of Konoha—a person who should command the utmost respect within the village. Only those with overwhelming strength and broad recognition are deemed worthy of that name.
Yet sometimes, even a Hokage feels powerless.
And more often than not... tired.
Inside the Hokage’s office.
Though Hakken and Itachi were not particularly tall, Minato could still feel a different kind of pressure radia...

Night descended.
Konoha once again returned to its usual calm.
The spring night breeze drifting through the streets felt especially pleasant.
Hakken and Anko walked side by side in silence. Only their tightly intertwined fingers spoke for them, quietly expressing what neither needed to say.
There was no need for words of comfort or concern. They could have spoken—but it wasn’t necessary.
They already understood each other’s hearts.
It was a bond that ...

How should I put this?
Truly worthy of the Yellow Flash.
Hakken brushed aside Minato’s hand from his head with a casual flick.
To be honest, when he’d walked out, he had already prepared for the worst—planning to storm the place with Anko and then leave the village behind.
It had happened earlier than expected, but he’d already hinted to Orochimaru beforehand that he would seek him out one day.
Hakken was confident. If he unleashed his full strength, leav...

“What’s the situation?”
At the entrance to the ANBU base, the ninjas who had rushed over upon hearing the news had already surrounded the area. There was only one way out—anyone trying to leave would have to pass through here. With the situation inside still unclear, waiting here seemed the best decision.
Minato Namikaze helped up the ninja who had been pinned to the ground by Hakken earlier, worry written all over his face.

“Restricted area. Unauthorized personnel, keep out!”
The so-called ANBU—short for Special Assassination and Tactical Squad—was a covert force established by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
Directly under the Hokage's command, they handled sensitive missions and the protection of Konoha.
But the moment Hakken kicked aside two guards like they were nothing...

What was he planning to do?
Kurenai Yūhi clenched her teeth as she helped Itachi up from where he’d been knocked out beside the street.
Hakken had ultimately left him behind.
From beginning to end, he was never the kind of person to drag his friends into trouble.
And after hearing what Itachi said just moments ago, there was no way he’d change that decision.

The escort mission continued.
But one thing was certain—Obito wouldn’t be coming back anytime soon.
Not with that blade in Hakken’s hands!
Still, he knew Obito hadn’t gone all out in their fight. As Madara’s successor, Obito’s strength was no joke. It was only due to a moment of carelessness that Hakken found an opening. If not, he never would’ve severed his arm so easily.
The most valuable trait in a person is the ability to see themselves clearly.

Madara Uchiha.
A severed arm!
Itachi stared in shock at the hand still twitching on the ground.
What truly sent chills down his spine, however, was the arm’s unnatural color—an eerie, deathly white.
That agonized scream moments earlier had made everyone’s blood run cold.
It wasn’t Madara Uchiha’s usual deep tone, but a shrill, piercing wail.
“What are you screaming for?”
Stepping back, Obito’s eyes under the mask were cold.

Herman realized his Divine Fire Ray had been blocked by that suit of battle armor.
Before he could make sense of it—
“You! Guilty!”
The Ghost Rider’s speed surged dramatically. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Herman as if he had teleported.
Such speed…
It even surpassed Quicksilver’s current abilities. Though Herman reacted with Bullet Time, his body couldn’t execute an evasive move in time.

Sharingan.
Hailed as the eyes that reflect the soul.
The path to its evolution is always paved with pain. That is why the Uchiha Clan came to be known as a cursed, evil lineage. This title was first given by Konoha’s Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju—the “Evil Clan.”
But looking at it from another angle, isn’t this very eye born from the searing pain of losing one’s loved ones? To feel that agony and then gain power through it—such is the way of the Uchiha.

A cold, murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Beneath the mask, Obito looked visibly annoyed.
What was he laughing at? Even Itachi was thrown off balance by Hakken’s laughter. He didn’t know just how formidable this troublesome enemy truly was. But what could possibly be the reason for laughing in a situation like this?

The Third Shinobi World War had never truly ended.
Just as the Kumogakure ninja still stood guard along the border between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire, they were merely waiting—waiting for a shift within Konoha. And where that shift would come from was a question worth pondering.
It was as if Danzō had somehow known in advance that something was about to happen.
The fires of war had not gone out, and missions outside the village had become perilous.

A type of assignment where the participants might sustain injuries. Such missions often involve requests from other nations—joining wars, providing escort, conducting background investigations, capturing or subduing dangerous beasts, or delivering classified documents.

During C-Rank missions, encounters with enemy ninja are rare, making them relatively easier to handle.

A thunderous boom shook the air. The earth split open. He landed steadily in front of Ghost Rider.

Blinding arcs of lightning tore across the skies above the island, sometimes condensing into blades that slashed down from the heavens.
The source of it all was Ortoren, standing on the beach. His arms were slightly raised in front of him, palms facing upward, as waves of thunderous energy surged endlessly from his hands. It was as if he were charging the sky itself.
In the distance, Bullet’s upper body was completely wrapped in Armament Haki, his figure blackened and hardened. ...
