14: Status of the Assassination Unit

At the same time, Gozuki was reeling in shock. The young man before him looked no older than seventeen or eighteen, yet his strength was utterly terrifying.

Before becoming an instructor for the Assassination Unit, Gozuki had once been a member of the Four Rakshasa Demons. And when speaking of the Four Rakshasa Demons, one couldn’t help but mention the Imperial Fist Temple—a place renowned across the Empire as the pinnacle of martial arts training. Anyone who graduated from the Temp...

13: Imperial Assassination Unit

The Imperial Capital was located slightly north of the empire’s center. Haruki planned to begin his journey with Nina in the northern region, then travel clockwise through the empire—starting from the northeast, then east, southeast, south, and finally the southwest.

The northern border of the empire was cold and barren. Over the years, the Danger Beasts that Haruki had hunted to near extinction a thousand years ago had begun to reappear, and powerful ones were now seen more frequen...

12: Journey Across the Empire

Haruki and Nina had spent the past few days touring the Imperial Capital. Though the capital was dazzlingly prosperous, the two had managed to explore nearly every corner of it.

Under Haruki’s guidance, Nina not only visited the grand and bustling districts but also ventured into the slums on the outskirts several times. There, she witnessed the darker sides of the capital. In just a few days, she matured a great deal. While Nina was still a little naïve and innocent, growing up in t...

11: Restaurant Encounter

The restaurant was extravagantly luxurious. From its opulent decorations alone, it was clear this was a place for the nobility—far beyond the reach of ordinary citizens.

As soon as Haruki and Nina entered, a wave of quiet whispers spread through the room. However, the murmurs quickly subsided as the patrons returned to their own conversations. After all, those dining here were either nobles or powerful merchants—people not easily surprised by anything.

Some of the officials al...

Chapter 70: Volume 2 – Chapter 19: The Assault

After parting ways with Reiji, Amai spent the entire day buried in work, her mind still preoccupied.

As dusk settled and the workday ended, she left the office right on time and headed home.

Her residence sat high atop a majestic mountain, nestled in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods of Kumogakure.

Even among such upscale surroundings, her home stood out—spacious and elegantly designed.

After a shower, Amai let her damp golden hair fall loosely over her shoulde...

Chapter 69: Volume 2 – Chapter 18: Doubts and Confusion

When Reiji got home, he knew someone had their eyes on him—but he had no idea that girl had spent the entire night thinking about him.

And not just thinking—panting, too.

Still, he had his own matters to deal with.

Over on Sakumo Hatake’s side, he was already in sync with Hiruzen Sarutobi’s thinking and had agreed to join in.

But Hiruzen only had one condition: Reiji needed to give him a hint about what kind of business he was planning.

Reiji modestly rep...

Chapter 68: Volume 2 – Chapter 17: The Risk of Exposure

The inn. A dimly lit room, shrouded in eerie silence.

Yui gripped the brush tightly, scribbling furiously.

Right now, she had no intention of speaking another word to Reiji—that guy's brain just didn’t work like a normal person's.

She just wanted to finish her mission.

Before long, every word Reiji had spoken was carefully transcribed onto the scroll.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

Ryūto’s team, still wrapped in that strange...

Chapter 67: Volume 2 – Chapter 16: Gathering Intelligence

After leaving Sakumo Hatake’s base in Yugakure, Reiji made his way to the outskirts of the village.

He formed a few quick hand seals and released a dozen or so Shadow Clones, then waved his hand decisively. The clones immediately got to work digging.

In a place as commercially booming as this, how could it not have an underground base?

Reiji had fully prepared to take a page from Aunt Snake’s playbook—no wait, with her age, maybe she should be called Sister Snake now.<...

Chapter 66: Volume 2 – Chapter 15: Five Times, Twelve Times, and Fifty Times

Reiji was completely losing it.

He never imagined he'd end up falling into the hands of a repressed pervert like Tsuchigami, a guy who liked reading dirty books.

Fuming, Reiji grabbed Tsuchigami by the neck with a vicious glare.

If soft tactics don’t work, then it’s time to go hard!

“Listen here, you closet perv! If you don’t join me, I’ll move in right next door, change my last name to Tanaka, and call myself Old Reiji Tanaka!”

At that, Tsuchigami’...

Chapter 65: Volume 2 – Chapter 14: Konoha Unlimited No Responsibility Company

After handing over their spoils at a nearby outpost, Ryūto’s team headed south once again to begin their patrol mission.

...

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. The journey had been peaceful, and the four finally arrived at Yugakure, the Village Hidden in Hot Water.

Though called a shinobi village, it was more famously known as “the village that forgot war.”

Reiji had been here once before, but didn’t stay long. At the time, he’d been on a mission and...

Chapter 64: Volume 2 – Chapter 13: Walnut, Part 2

He explained that the Raikage had refused to issue the mission because not everyone was present.

Hearing this, Reiji nodded with a helpless look, then smiled at Ryūto and the others.

"Captain Ryūto, give me a minute. I can’t let these walnuts go to waste."

Saying that, he scrambled around looking for a sack to gather the leftover walnuts.

Ryūto’s team fell into silence again. This guy was hopeless.

With power that terrifying, instead of fighting on the fro...

Chapter 63: Volume 2 –Chapter 12: Walnut

Seeing that Reiji was completely fine, the Raikage burst into hearty laughter once again.

It had been a long time since such cheerful laughter had echoed through the Raikage's office.

After a while, his laughter gradually subsided.

"Raimei, you were extremely reckless during the operation to seal the Two-Tails! But you also bought valuable time for your comrades in the village.

After discussion, the village has decided to reward you with a house."

As he spoke, th...

Chapter 62: Volume 2 – Chapter 11: Oh, My Chūnibyō Soul

Just as Reiji and Amai were on their way to the Raikage’s office, a serious discussion was already underway inside.

The Third Raikage, A, leaned back on the sofa, fatigue etched into his not-yet-old face.

It had been over two months.

Despite dispatching countless ANBU, not a single trace of the infiltrator had been found. Instead, they ended up capturing numerous civilian agents from various villages.

Many of them had been undercover for over a decade—some had even...

Chapter 61: Volume 2 – Chapter 10: The Two-Faced Man

The day after Tsuchigami returned to the village...

Just as he was about to kick back and enjoy some time off, seven or eight masked ANBU found him and handed him a giant schoolbag.

“Tsuchigami, this is your mission.”

He stared at them in disbelief. He thought he’d dodged the bullet—turns out, they just saved it for later.

With a resigned sigh, he slipped on his mask and coat, hoisted the oversized bag onto his back, and stepped out the door.

The ANBU fol...

10: Strolling Through the Market

Since moving out of the Royal Palace with Haruki yesterday, Nina had been in a constant state of excitement.

After all, although she was a princess and lacked for nothing inside the palace, no one had ever taken her beyond the palace gates. She had always longed to see the world outside. Now that her wish had finally come true, her excitement was only natural.

Early the next morning, Nina called Haruki out of his room, eager to go shopping.

Haruki had never gone shopping sin...

9: The New Emperor's Ascension and Departure from the Palace

Two days later, the doors of Haruki's cultivation tower were knocked on again. A burly fat man followed Nina, and a young boy trailed behind them as they slowly walked in.

The fat man was about 1.9 meters tall, with a sturdy build, white hair, and a thick white beard. The little boy following him was the new emperor of the Empire. He had short dark green hair and matching dark green eyes. Dressed in the emperor's distinctive robe and wearing a large hat, he looked the part.

The bo...

8: A Thousand Years

Practicing cultivation knows no concept of time. In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed. For Haruki, whose life was endless, a millennium was but a fleeting moment. But for ordinary people, it was long enough for countless events to unfold.

The civil and military officials who once followed the founding emperor through campaigns across the land, offering strategies and counsel, along with the once-glorious families they built, had mostly vanished into the dust of history. N...

7: Teigu

Today, in the bedchamber of the First Emperor Andre, a massive rectangular table had been set up. Standing on either side of it were the two most powerful figures in the Empire—Haruki and Andre.

Spread across the table was a wide array of items: long blades and various other weapons, decorative artifacts, what looked like pet-sized dogs, and even a humanoid figure with horns on its head. In total, there were forty-eight objects.

That’s right—after more than three years of pr...

6: Founding of the Empire

Through their conversations, Andre came to understand that Haruki was solely interested in martial arts and had little regard for power or politics. This greatly reassured Andre. After all, no one—especially someone as ambitious and capable as Andre—would want a peer with unfathomable strength and equal standing in their empire.

But if Haruki truly had no interest in power, then granting him the title of Imperial Advisor wouldn't pose any threat.

On the contrary, with Haruki�...

5: The First Emperor

Over the past eight years, the wars raging across the continent had only grown more intense. At the same time, many outstanding rulers had emerged—each with vast territories under their control, locked in constant battles as they all sought to unify the continent and become its supreme ruler.

During these years, as Haruki continued to hunt down Danger Beasts, his reputation steadily spread. No matter the era, strength was always respected. And since Haruki’s village was tucked away ...

4: Exchange and Training

After drinking the body enhancement serum and fusing with the True Ancestor Vampire bloodline, Haruki’s body expelled thick, black filth, leaving him reeking of a foul stench.

Once the fusion was complete, he couldn’t wait to rush to the nearby stream to wash himself clean. To his surprise, the icy water that once felt bone-chilling now didn’t bother him at all—a testament to how much his physical resilience had improved.

“This really is a rare bloodline. I just fused wi...

3: Lottery and Fusion

“Right, I still have one more draw left, don’t I?”

With that thought, Haruki silently chanted “draw” in his mind—and immediately, a giant spinning wheel appeared behind him.

The wheel was filled with a variety of bloodlines. Some came from ordinary Danger Beasts native to this world, while others belonged to the powerful Super-Class Danger Beasts. There were even bloodlines that didn’t exist in this world at all, like legendary divine beasts from mythology—such as ...

2: The System

In a small village in the northern part of the continent, a boy around thirteen or fourteen was practicing his sword swings with a blade far too large for his frame. Judging by the sweat soaking his hair, he’d been at it for quite some time, yet showed no signs of stopping.

The boy was slender, fair-skinned, with long, light blue hair that draped down to his waist. His eyes were bright and alert, and his face carried a seriousness uncommon for someone his age.

That boy was our p...

1: The Beginning of the Dimensional Journey

Haruki was just an ordinary student at an ordinary university. Like most others, he spent his days lazing around in his dorm, letting his youth slip away. In a world where connections meant everything, he had no influential background, no wealthy friend willing to go to extremes for him like in those novels, and no miraculous encounter with a rich, beautiful girl who would suddenly change his life. Most likely, after graduation, he'd settle into a plain, uneventful life like so many others. 2025-05-11 22:08:45 +0000 UTC View Post

“Be patient, Garp.”

Looking at Garp, who had calmed down slightly but was still pacing anxiously, Kong sighed and spoke.

Garp stopped in his tracks and asked urgently,

“Old man Kong, do you think Daren can get there before Sakazuki and Borsalino?”

If Sakazuki found Dragon first, things would spiral out of control.

Kong didn’t seem worried. There was the same calm and firmness in his expression as always.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly shook...

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Fleet Admiral’s Office.

The office was silent.

“Stay here until this incident is over, Garp.”

Kong sat behind his desk, calmly working through a mountain of paperwork without even glancing up.

Garp stood motionless, like a statue that had lost its soul.

On the grayish-white wall hung a plaque with the word “Justice” in bold black characters, looming above him like a mountain pressing down on his shoulders.

12th Division, Shinigami Research and Development Institute.

The large red "ALERT" on the screen finally stopped flashing, and the deafening alarms echoing through the underground research facility came to an abrupt halt.

Kisuke Urahara looked up and let out a long breath, as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

“Lucky me. Everything important is intact. Good thing I had the foresight to store my experimental data and research separately,” he muttered to himsel...

Chapter 172: Come With Me

The battlefield had split in two, tying everyone down—but this was Jujutsu High. The longer the fight dragged on, the worse things would get for the intruders.

Sōjun Minamoto observed the two fronts. He remained still, and so did Masamichi Yaga, standing directly across from him. There was no need for movement.

Instead, he mentally reviewed the method for assimilating Tengen, checking for any overlooked details.

Tengen might have sensed his impure intentions, but his reac...

Chapter 171: Assault on Jujutsu High

Sōjun Minamoto could already guess what Tengen was thinking—it was nothing more than realizing the situation was beyond saving. He tried a token resistance, then decisively abandoned the Ten Great Barriers and chose to defend just one location.

His thinking was simple: relinquish control of the Ten Great Barriers and concentrate all forces in one place. As long as breaching that place was sufficiently difficult, the balance of risk and reward would make everyone back off and settle i...

Chapter 254: Volume 2 – Chapter 156: Kill on the Spot!?

Crystal snowflakes drifted from the bleak sky, settling on Momonga’s hair, face, and shoulders—but he stood there as if frozen, completely unaware.

He stood rigid, like he'd been struck by lightning. His eyes widened, pupils contracting and trembling violently.

He could hardly believe what he’d just heard.

A “monster” nurtured by Marine Headquarters.
