The moment Daren lunged forward with astonishing speed, Dragon’s eyes lit up, and he moved at once.
Bang!
The two charged simultaneously, their wrists colliding with a heavy impact that sent shockwaves rippling through the air.
A perfect draw!
Without pausing, both men shifted their stances mid-air.
Fists clashed, elbows struck, a series of sharp blows echoing across the deck.
The Marines watching stood wide-eyed, holding their breath as the intense clash...

After the initial excitement faded, Aizen found himself contemplating a more pressing concern—Masatsuki Aozaki.
With his overwhelming talent and intelligence potentially on par with Aizen’s own, he could become an even greater threat in the future than Shigekuni Yamamoto.
But a collapsed secret chamber wasn’t enough to prove that Masatsuki had actually developed anything.
It was just as likely that he had destroyed the site to prevent his research from being discovered...

12th Division, Shinigami Research and Development Institute.
The Shinigami Research and Development Institute was located within the 12th Division’s compound, a mysterious research facility nestled deep in the mountains. On the surface, it appeared as a towering white building, but its true core operations were hidden underground.
After tidying up her desk, the purple-haired woman absentmindedly ran her fingers through her long hair, her gaze fixed on the screen in front of her....

Over the next few days, Daisuke Nakano didn’t dare entertain any ulterior motives.
He obediently followed the main force, focusing solely on traveling.
The Konoha forces marched openly through the Land of Grass without any effort to conceal their movements.
The Kusa ninja didn’t even dare to step forward, let alone question them.
They could only watch helplessly as the Konoha forces passed through as if the land were theirs.
Thus, the group made an unimpeded ...

At the break of dawn, as the sky began to lighten, the Konoha forces set out for the border under the leadership of Nawaki and Minato.
"Uncle, you have to keep your word!"
"We're not just going to sit back and watch from the rear!"
They hadn't gone far when Ginji started chattering behind Nawaki, his excitement evident. The other kids beside him also turned to look at Nawaki expectantly.
It was their first time heading to the battlefield, and they could barely contain ...

The large bee that had taken a direct hit from the Scale Powder froze in place, then charged straight into the swarm of bees in the sky.
Its massive body became like a bulldozer—no bee could stop its rampage.
“Damn it! That trick again! My bee!”
The Kamizuru Clan ninja’s expression twisted in rage. That giant bee was his summoned beast. Even within the Kamizuru Clan, bees of that size were incredibly rare.
Now it had been bewitched by the enemy—this was a mas...

The morning was quiet in the captain’s quarters, with only Masatsuki Aozaki and Mashiro Kuna lying in bed, idly waiting for time to pass.
The two were in a state of deep contemplation, feeling like a mere drop in the vast ocean of existence, marveling at the endlessness of the world.
Strictly speaking, their state of mind was akin to that of a sage—indifferent to all external matters, focused only on the pursuit of truth.

“Masatsuki, you lazy bum, time to get up.”
Masatsuki Aozaki lay in bed, holding his green-haired lover in his arms. She was soft and light, his drowsy eyes fluttering open to a familiar sight.
Floating in the air were the twin sisters, Banshō and Senran. Banshō, the older sister, was making a silly face, while Senran, the younger one, puffed up her cheeks in mock anger and poked his face.
“You two are just too cute!...

The final individual battle was set at Training Field No. 5—a flat, open area with no extra facilities. It was a place where victory depended solely on one's mastery of Cursed Techniques.
Sōjun Minamoto stood on the steps, not stepping onto the field himself. He simply pointed with one hand, signaling for the students to enter and experience it on their own.

The cabin of the warship swayed with the rolling waves. The oil lamp on the table flickered softly, casting shifting light and shadow.
Daren sat cross-legged on the floor, eyes closed, while three coins hovered in the air around him, spinning and circling.

With Daisuke’s departure, skirmishes between the Iwa ninja, led by Ōnoki, and the Kumo forces erupted across the battlefield.
The results remained inconclusive, much to the Third Raikage’s frustration. However, there was little he could do. The Land of Earth was Iwagakure’s home turf, and the sheer number of traps alone made life miserable for the Kumo ninja.
Though Ōnoki’s tactics had significantly slowed Kumo’s advance, he knew it wouldn’t change the final outcome ...
