Chapter 129: Aftermath

The desperate Funato Taikai placed his last hope in his two missing sons. Little did he know, they had met a fate worse than his own, having already perished long ago.

"Is he the leader of the Funato clan?" the Mist ninjas asked, curiously eyeing the man trapped within the green barrier.

Mei Terumi nodded. "Yes..."

"For you to use a sealing barrier, he must be quite formidable. Let’s just remove the barrier and kill him together," one of the Mist ninjas suggested confident...

Chapter 83: Anko's Exaggerations

"Clearing his throat," Shishou reassured the shopkeeper, “I really have money; you don’t need to worry.”

Anko chimed in at the right moment to support Shishou. “Yes, he's wealthy.”

All the shops in Konoha contributed to the village's tax revenue, so Anko was keen on ensuring the transaction went smoothly. After all, chakra metal was extremely expensive, and not many in Konoha could afford it.

“Alright,” the middle-aged shopkeeper nodded. “How much do...

Chapter 82: Heading Straight to the Second Floor of the Bookstore

"What the hell is going on?" Shishou thought, perplexed. "Why is my bug clone here? At this time, it should be in the Academy."

Shishou quickly pursued his "clone" to find out what was happening.

"Mr. Lurigan..." Anko, confused by Shishou's sudden acceleration, hurried to catch up.

Soon, Shishou followed his clone to a bookstore. Seeing the clone head straight to the second floor, Shishou wasted no time in following.

"Mr. Lurigan..." Anko hesitated, stopping a...

Chapter 81: Genjutsu Training

“These are the images of the Mokuton user and his companions,” Shishou said, tossing a few sheets to the Third Hokage as he sat down, closing his eyes to rest.

“Hidan from Takigakure, Kakuzu from Kirigakure,” Shishou continued. “I don’t know about the pitcher plant and the masked man, but they all belong to an organization called ‘Akatsuki.’ You should investigate that.”

"Alright, Third Hokage-sama," Shishou continued. "I've fulfilled your commission. No...

Chapter 80: Slap to Danzo's Face

At the residence in Fire Source City, Uchiha Mikoto was kneeling on the tatami mat, continuously taking out makeup products and starting to apply makeup to Shishou.

“Are you really going to meet the Third Hokage?” Mikoto asked, putting down the makeup sponge with some concern.

Being the wife of the Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Mikoto had witnessed the strength and cunning of the Third Hokage. Even though the Third had weakened due to age over the past decade, he remaine...

Chapter 79: Setting the Hook for Anko

“Knock, knock, knock!”

Shishou lightly tapped on the door to Miko Miroku's study.

"Mr. Shishou," Miroku's personal maid, Ziling, opened the door and respectfully invited him inside.

"Mr. Shishou," Miroku greeted him, "what brings you here?"

"Can't I visit you without a reason?" Shishou used a Body Flicker Technique to appear behind Miroku, embracing her and inhaling her fragrance deeply.

"Mr. Shishou..." Miroku's face turned crimson instantly.

Chapter 78: The Aftermath of the Tree World Birth

"Scorpion."

"I advise you to follow the leader's orders."

"This man is definitely not someone you can handle alone."

Seeing Scorpion's dissatisfaction, White Zetsu spoke with a cheerful tone, and then Black Zetsu followed with a sinister voice:

"Of course, if you want to be absent from the next meeting like Kisame,"

"Then good luck."

"Hopefully, I'll be able to find your parts by then."

"Hmph!"...

Chapter 77: The Akatsuki Organization Shaken

"I need your explanation," demanded Pain, his Rinnegan eyes fixed on Tobi.

Tobi, known to few as Uchiha Obito, pursed his lips, bitterness welling up inside him. The Akatsuki was a product of his collaboration with Nagato, with Nagato in the light and himself in the shadows. Except for a select few like Itachi and Kisame, most members were unaware of his existence.

However, due to Mei Terumi's deliberate misdirection, the Five Great Shinobi Villages now knew of his existe...

Chapter 76: The Picnic Goes Astray

Half an hour later, Shishou and his friends had finished selecting their favorite foods and items on the shopping list. Kiba had grabbed some soft bones and beef, likely to feed Akamaru. Sasuke picked up a few meatballs but not too many. Shino only took what was on the shopping list, mindful of not letting Shishou spend too much despite his wealth from his uncle's inheritance.

Chouji, on the other hand, selected several pieces of pork belly, beef tenderloin, lean meat, and saus...

Chapter 75: The Problematic Children of Each Village

Since using Deep Forest Emergence once was the masked man's limit, Onoki no longer felt as worried. However, considering that the masked man's goal seemed to be capturing Tailed Beasts, Onoki decided to play it safe and recalled the Jinchuriki.

"Send word to bring back both the Four-Tails and Five-Tails," Onoki ordered. "Cancel their missions and have them return to the village to lay low. We can't afford to let these mysterious individuals capture them."

Although the Fou...

Chapter 74: Reactions from All Sides

"Recall the squad we sent to the Hidden Mist Village to investigate the wood release," Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, sighed, issuing an order. "Since the mysterious figure can use Deep Forest Emergence, our squad won’t find anything and might lose their lives for nothing."

The mission was called off before it even started. How absurd.

"No way!" Danzo Shimura retorted. "Sacrifices are inevitable for such a mission. If we recall them now, who will we send next?"

Chapter 73: Shifting the Blame

"What is this thing?" Miroku asked, staring in bewilderment at the golden insect egg floating in front of Shishou.

To be honest, she still hadn’t processed what had just happened. She only knew that a beautiful insect flew out of Shishou's body, landed on the crystal sealing Moryo, and then the black lines that even she couldn't handle vanished. After that, the insect disappeared, and this golden egg appeared in front of Shishou.

Shishou, seeing that the Nine Nether Sil...

Chapter 72: The Legendary Insect Egg

After making a bet with Tsunade, Shishou left the palace in the Land of Demons. Tsunade, with her exquisite features, sensual figure, formidable strength, and heroic spirit, was Shishou's favorite female character in the Naruto world. Despite his desire to grow closer to her, he knew that patience was key. The bet they made gave him plenty of opportunities to interact with her in the future.

"Master, please wait," a voice called out as Shishou was about to leave. It was one of ...

Chapter 71: Call Me Grandpa

"Are you from Konoha?" Tsunade asked, her eyes narrowing suspiciously.

Shishou nodded, confirming her guess.

"Then why haven't I heard of you or seen you before?" Tsunade pressed, her brow furrowing.

Shishou raised an eyebrow and retorted, "How many years has it been since you last returned to Konoha? How would you even know about me?"

Tsunade realized the truth in his words and could only give an awkward laugh in response. She had been away from Konoha ever s...

Chapter 70: Tsunade's Efforts

"By the way, I'm planning to send someone to Konoha to inform the Third Hokage about the masked man using the Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees," Mei Terumi said.

Hearing this, Shishou was momentarily taken aback, then squeezed her cheek and chuckled, "If Konoha finds out someone can use such a powerful Wood Release technique, they'll go crazy."

Indeed, Konoha would likely become frantic in their search for anyone capable of using the legendary Wood Relea...

Chapter 69: The Aftermath in the Mist

The Land of Water. Kirigakure. In the commercial district.

“How do you plan to handle the Fourth Mizukage?” Shishou asked, eating the ice cream Mei Terumi had given him, his curiosity evident.

Ever since Mei had seen his true form, she insisted that he remain in that form around her. Shishou knew it was a peculiar preference of hers but didn’t mind. After all, maintaining his larger form drained his Mangekyō Sharingan’s power, and he preferred to conserve his str...

Chapter 68: Last Night's Deep Sleep

"Thank you for your hard work today," Shishou said as he gently tucked Eri into bed. She looked exhausted but had a content smile on her face.

"This is what I should do," Eri replied, her cheeks flushed with a touch of red.

"You should rest now," Shishou said with a smile, lightly pinching her cheek.

"Mm," Eri murmured softly as she closed her eyes, clearly exhausted but happy.

As Shishou left the room, he turned to Priestess Miroku and said, "Miroku, I'll hav...

Chapter 67: "Sister, Yours Are Really Big"

"Lady Mei Terumi!" "Lady Mei Terumi is here!"

Before long, the people of Kirigakure found Mei Terumi and cheered loudly. Hearing this, Elder Genma wept with joy. Having been unable to find Mei for a while, he had already begun considering other candidates for the Mizukage position.

However, no matter whom he considered, there was no suitable candidate. They either lacked sufficient reputation or strength. This realization made him appreciate Mei Terumi's importance to Kirig...

Chapter 66: "Drink Hers..."

"Why do you look like this?" Tsunade and Mei Terumi both exclaimed, noticing Shishou's change in appearance.

Shishou glanced down and realized his body had shrunk significantly, reverting from his tall, muscular form to his natural height of around 1.5 meters. He understood that the strain from using his abilities had caused his transformation to wear off.

Understanding their confusion, Shishou decided to play along, glaring at them menacingly. "Now that you've seen my true form,"...

Chapter 65: Have You Fallen for Me?

The earth rumbled as countless trees and vines surged up, transforming the once barren valley into a dense forest. Kakuzu’s five hearts were shattered, leaving him with only two. If not for his last-minute activation of Earth Spear, he would have been strangled by the vines of Shishou's Birth of the World of Trees.

Kakuzu, surrounded by towering trees, felt a wave of fear wash over him, reminiscent of his battle with the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. Struggling to free himse...

Chapter 64: Wood Release: Birth of the World of Trees

"Wood Release: Wood Formation Wall!"

A circular wooden barrier rapidly formed around Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and Shizune, blocking Obito's wooden spikes.

Obito's eyes narrowed at the sight of the jutsu. "Wood Release?"

Mei Terumi, seeing the wooden walls around them, was momentarily stunned, then let out a chuckle. "The Third Hokage must be having a hard time with this."

Tsunade, however, was too focused on Shizune to react.

Outside the wooden barrier, Kaku...

Chapter 63: Defeating You Will Be Enough

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The clash of monstrous strength echoed through the valley as Tsunade’s raw power collided with Kakuzu's formidable defenses. Although Tsunade's monstrous strength had the upper hand, Kakuzu’s Earth Grudge Fear allowed him to resist most physical attacks, making it a tough match.

Meanwhile, Shishou’s giant red centipede was holding its own against the Three-Tails. Despite being half its size, the centipede’s tough exoskeleton made it resilient. Vi...

Chapter 62: The Terrifying Power of a Single Punch

"We found the Three-Tails."

"But we seem to have encountered some trouble."

"So, I need your help," Mei Terumi explained as they moved forward.

"Alright," Shishou nodded after hearing her out. Then, he silently withdrew his hand from Mei's grasp, only to take it again with a purposeful look, indicating she should lead the way.

"???" Mei Terumi was bewildered by Shishou's actions and looked at him with confusion.

"You lead the way," Shishou said, regainin...

Chapter 61: This Woman Can't Be Kept Here

Returning to Fire Source City

After a brief reunion with Mikoto and Pakura, Shishou set off for the Land of Water. The Third Hokage’s request sparked a thought in him: if the Third Hokage was so concerned about the reappearance of Wood Release, then Tsunade, upon learning of this, might also head to the Hidden Mist Village to investigate. This could be his chance to find Tsunade.

One Day Later

In the Land of Water, Hidden Mist Vil...

Chapter 60: You Won't Even Let Me Pinch Your Cheek

The Technology of the Ninja World

The technological landscape of the ninja world was quite advanced, yet it exhibited a bizarre imbalance. While warfare and luxury technologies flourished, agricultural and production technologies lagged significantly behind. The common folk, thus, did not benefit from technological advancements.

To Shishou's frustration, there were no significant technologies to improve agricultural productivity. Determined to address this,...

Chapter 59: Investigating Myself?

Various Sensory Techniques

Shishou was determined to master the most fundamental sensory technique: chakra sensory perception. This technique, which allowed the user to sense chakra in their surroundings by concentrating their own chakra, was basic yet essential. Unlike the Byakugan or Karin's Mind's Eye of the Kagura, its range could be expanded with continuous training, making it ideal for pairing with the Flying Thunder God technique.

Learning chakra sen...

Chapter 55: Eight Chakras

"I found you!" Shishou exclaimed, opening his Sharingan as his left eye spun rapidly. Under the effect of his Mangekyo Sharingan: Biological Acceleration, four White Zetsu emerged from Obito's arm, quickly growing to palm size.

"How did you know about us..." one of the White Zetsu began, but they didn't hesitate to grow to full size and attack Shishou. However, they were no match for him.

With a swift motion of his right hand, Shishou tapped each White Zetsu, and his nano-s...

Chapter 54: Next Time, You'll Pay

The Next Two Days

Shishou finalized a partnership with the Mist Village. The Mist Village agreed to provide personnel to join Shishou's newly formed seafood trading company, "Fishing Masters." Shishou would hold a 51% stake, while the Mist Village would hold 49%. The company's base would be established at a natural harbor near the Mist Village. For this, Shishou invested an additional 20 million ryo to develop the port.

Shishou would handle the funding and ...

Chapter 58: The Unyielding Mind

Evening.

Konoha Shopping District.

After school, Shishou strolled down the busy street with Ino and Hinata, casually browsing and shopping.

"Hinata, what do you think of this?" Ino asked, holding up a rabbit plush toy from a small trinket stall.

Ino, despite considering Shishou as a benefactor, was always mindful when spending his money. She never purchased expensive items, preferring small, cute things instead. She enjoyed th...

Chapter 57: The Shinobi World Shaken

Land of Lightning, Kumogakure

In the Raikage's office, the burly Fourth Raikage, A, looked over the documents in his hands. "Mabui, is this information verified?"

Wearing a black business suit and skirt with a white blouse underneath, black stockings, and high heels, Mabui looked very professional. Hugging a file to her chest, she nodded confidently. "Raikage-sama, I've confirmed it. The information is reliable."

"Heh, interesting," Raikage A chuckl...
