Half a year passed in a flash. The war had been raging for six months.
Konoha, Suna, Iwa, and Amegakure were locked in a bloody conflict.
Even Konoha's Genin were being deployed to the battlefield.
Shin and his team were also on the front lines. If even Genin were being sent, Chunin like them were indispensable.
"War is so cruel. These people are so unfortunate."
Mikoto looked at the gaunt and fearfu...

"Since you've all prepared gifts for the Spirit Festival, I can't be biased," Roy said, taking out a necklace.

It had been years since anyone had said those words to her.
The last time she had heard them was from her sister.

Badr’s sudden attack, and the sheer power behind it, stunned everyone present.
“Is it just me, or did he get even stronger?” Kuroka murmured, narrowing her eyes. While Badr’s aura was masked by his Absolute Control, her Senjutsu allowed her to sense subtle shifts in his power.
He was far more dangerous now than the last time they’d met…
