Kazuyama was still a step too late. By the time he arrived in the Land of Rice Fields, the Iwa ninja had already surrounded the country.
The Hive Mind was teeming with movement—figures darting across the ground and leaping between tree trunks. Warriors of all shapes and sizes filled the area, creating a dazzling spectacle in Kazuyama’s eyes.
“Damn, Kazuyama, the Land of Rice Fields is about to face a major disaster.”
“So many Iwa ninja.”
Kazuyama, concealed...

Before Blayn left the base to hunt Danger Beasts, an uninvited group arrived at the Assassination Unit’s headquarters.
They had been sent by Saikyuu to carry out his orders.
Saikyuu was well aware that, besides Blayn, the Empire’s Assassination Unit had two other Teigu Users—Seryu, the wielder of Hekatonkheires, and Kurome, the wielder of Yatsufusa.
To ensure things went smoothly, he had dispatched three Teigu Users of his own.
Although Kurome, ...

Blayn was just short of outright saying, “Let me have all the experience points for myself.”
But if he had, Sheele and Mine might have actually understood.
After all, in the world of Akame ga Kill, the concept existed. One of Esdeath’s Three Beasts, for instance, constantly rambled about “experience points.”
“Tch, as if we’d even want to help you,” Mine huffed.
“Okay,” Sheele, however, responded cheerfully, showing no complaints.

"You'll be leaving tomorrow."
"So today, we'll make an exception and drink a bit."
An unknown barbecue restaurant in Konoha had only one table of guests inside. Without any elders present, Nawaki took on the role of the eldest brother, filling sake glasses one by one.
"Pour less for Konan," Misaki said, stopping Nawaki for a moment and handing Konan the smallest glass.
"Thank you, Sister Misaki," Konan replied, taking the glass, though her face remained expressionless....

Iwagakure, the Land of Earth.
Under the moonlight, a lone figure darted swiftly through the dense forest.
After an indeterminate period of time, she finally stopped before an unremarkable tree. With cautious precision, she surveyed her surroundings, then reached into a small, hidden tree hole and retrieved a scroll.
Using the faint moonlight, she unrolled the scroll and read its contents:
“End of mission in Iwagakure. Hurry to the Land of Rain.”
Once she had fin...

“Kazuyama, what are you smiling at?”
“Did I smile? Minato, you must be mistaken.”
Kazuyama quickly hid his grin. It wasn’t his fault—Minato was just too amusing.
“In the current situation, I still believe we should take the initiative. Once Iwa attacks the Land of Rice Fields—”
“The moment Iwa makes a move there, Kumo will be forced into a defensive position. This is the perfect chance to crush Kumo and keep them from making another move in this war...

After listening to Kazuyama's words, Kakkō nodded.
"Okay, your information is worth 30 million."
"Let's go back to the base!"
With this intel, Kakkō needed to report to Lord Tsuchikage immediately and send intelligence personnel to the Land of Rice Fields to verify its accuracy. If it was true, this would be the perfect opportunity to strike Kumogakure—one they couldn't afford to miss.
Kazuyama, having received his payment, had no intention of lingering. He had alr...

“We’ve been discovered?”
Mine found it hard to believe. How could he be so perceptive?
Her finger, which had been about to pull the trigger of Pumpkin, hesitated for a moment.
Luckily, that moment of hesitation meant she didn’t fire. If she had, Blayn would have undoubtedly used the Gunbai Uchiwa to deflect the energy wave right back at them.
“Wait... how are you so sure he’s not our enemy—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Mine suddenly noti...

After the exchange was successful, the Gunbai Uchiwa appeared in the "Existing Items" section of the System Panel.
With just a thought, Blayn summoned it into his hands.
A massive, gourd-shaped fan materialized, its surface adorned with two pairs of red tomoe patterns on both sides. A chain was attached to the handle, giving it a unique appearance.
Blayn immediately noticed the weight of the fan, but with his current Strength stat, wielding it posed no issue.
Now that ...

When the meal was over, no one left. Even Minato stayed behind instead of going to keep Kushina company.
The servants cleared the leftovers, wiped down the table, and served fruit and drinks.
“Minato, are you going to stay in the Anbu or come out?” Tsunade broke the silence, deliberately avoiding the previous topic.
“I’ll do whatever you say,” Minato replied. Team Maple had been disbanded, and he wasn’t particularly interested in forming a new team. However, ther...

Sakumo was now completely convinced. With Nagato’s demonstrated abilities, conquering the Land of Rain—or at the very least, remaining undefeated—seemed entirely feasible. No wonder Kawakaze had been so confident.
“Do you still want to see more?” Kawakaze asked, a bit exasperated. If everything Nagato had shown so far wasn’t enough to convince Sakumo, they might actually have to resort to Chibaku Tensei.

Kakkō received a response from the Tsuchikage and swiftly gathered nearly 120 million ryo from the residence before heading outside. His actions did not go unnoticed, drawing the attention of many, including Iwagakure's Jinchūriki, Rōshi.
"Kakkō, what are you doing with that much money?"
"Oh, Rōshi. I'm making a deal with a bounty hunter who brought information and the body of Kumo's Toroi."
Rōshi was momentarily stunned. A bounty hunter? His expression darkened with d...

What was going on? Namikaze was fighting A?
Shouldn't Minato be at the battlefield in the Land of Grass? Why was he in the Land of Hot Water instead? And more importantly—h...

Chelsea felt a sense of relief as she returned to the Revolutionary Army Headquarters after several days away.
That said, during her time infiltrating the Empire's Assassination Unit, she hadn't found herself particularly worried. On the contrary, her target had actually taken good care of her.
It was all thanks to her decision to transform into a black cat on a whim—had she chosen a different form, she doubted it would have worked out as well.

A long, luxurious dining table was filled with an extravagant feast.

Ever since awakening his Wood Release, Ginji's daily life had grown monotonous. He was either training or heading to training.
The only bright spot in his routine was the young girl, Satsuki, who came to keep him company every day. Even Orochimaru had no objections to this arrangement.
A fulfilling time always passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had gone by. Ginji had gradually adjusted to his rigorous training schedule.
