Chapter 56: The Tremor in Konoha

The classroom was noticeably quieter than usual, and Iruka felt a sense of relief. Thanks to Shishou's leadership, even the most troublesome students like Naruto and Kiba had adopted various "modes" such as 'Training Mode' or 'Quiet Mode,' leading to a more disciplined atmosphere. This had significantly eased Iruka's teaching burden.

However, there was still one student who remained a constant headache for him—Shikamaru. Shikamaru had adopted a "Sleep Mode," and he slept not ...

Chapter 53: The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi

Mizukage's Office

"Lord Ao, this gentleman, Shishou, has established a seafood trading company in the Land of Water," the recently awakened government official from the Land of Water began, addressing Mei Terumi and Ao. "He’s here seeking cooperation with the Mist Village. He hopes you can provide personnel to ensure the safety of his enterprise."

The official had been knocked unconscious early on and was unaware of the subsequent events. He dutifully e...

Chapter 52: Spoils of War

Mist Village

“Flying Thunder God?”

Hearing Obito’s words, the nearby ANBU and Ao were stunned. They never expected this stranger to possess Konoha’s Flying Thunder God technique.

Could he be from Konoha?

Ao frowned, scrutinizing Shishou.

"I’ll remember you," Obito snarled, his eyes blazing with fury. With a final glare, he vanished into the Kamui dimension. He had no idea what Shishou had done, but he couldn’t risk staying any ...

Chapter 51: First Encounter with the Killer

Mist Village.

Boom!

Shishou and the Land of Water official had just arrived outside the Mist Village when they witnessed a monstrous red and black three-tailed beast rampaging through the village.

The creature immediately charged towards Shishou and his companion.

Damn. Could I be any unluckier?

Watching the rampaging Three-Tails headed their way, Shishou felt a pang of frustration. Has Mei Terumi and Ao already discovered that the Fourth Mizukage was bein...

Chapter 50: The Fragile Girl

"Well done," Shishou praised as Yugao returned from her match.

"Hmph!" Yugao was still annoyed by the obscene remarks from the audience, responding with a cold snort.

"I'll avenge you," Shishou said, unfazed by her cold response, with a smile.

In the next match, Shishou faced a wandering ninja. While dodging the ninja's Water Style attacks, Shishou used his Sharingan to copy the Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique and counterattack. However, he deliberately missed ...

Chapter 49: Target: Kushina Uzumaki

The next day, in the shrine of the Land of Demons, Shishou visited Karin and Eri Uzumaki after they had spent time learning sealing techniques. He then sought out Miroku, the priestess, who was instructing her student, Shion. Shishou had an important question for her.

"Is there a way to keep the soul of a deceased person in the world for a long time and allow them to move freely?" Shishou asked.

He wanted to give Kushina Uzumaki enough time to teach Karin and Eri the sealin...

Chapter 48: Pakura of the Scorch Release and the Priestess Miroku

May, Konoha's 59th Year.

Shishou welcomed his first guest to his mansion in Fire City: Pakura from the Sand Village.

Pakura had become a rising star, her strength and popularity threatening the position of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa. Feeling this threat, Rasa betrayed Pakura in a political exchange with the Mist Village, trading her life for their financial support.

With the help of Shishou’s healing insects, Pakura narrowly escaped death. Betrayed by her own village, she f...

Chapter 47: Wood Release

Time flowed like a river. Another month passed swiftly, bringing the timeline to Konoha's 59th year. Naruto and his classmates were still four years away from graduating from the Academy. Shishou found himself back in the routine of school life.

During this month, Shishou dedicated his time to training with Mikoto, Izumi, and Yugao, acting as their sparring partner to boost their combat skills. Witnessing the formidable abilities of Orochimaru and Itachi had driven Mikoto, Izumi,...

Chapter 46: The Frenzied Mikoto and the Legendary Insect

After leaving Yugao’s room, Shishou headed to Mikoto’s quarters. Seeing Itachi's overwhelming power had been a heavy blow to Mikoto, who had desperately wanted to prevent a battle between her sons, Itachi and Sasuke. Now, more than ever, she needed comfort.

As Shishou slid open the shoji door and entered Mikoto's room, he saw her sitting outside in the small courtyard gazebo, gazing blankly at the moon while dressed in a beautiful kimono. Shishou approached her and gently wra...

Chapter 45: Special Evolution

"It seems a single Manda was sufficient," Shishou thought. "But that's not surprising. Manda is one of the top serpents in Ryuchi Cave, possessing immense chakra. It makes sense that just one would be enough."

Shishou didn’t choose to evolve his insects immediately. Instead, he moved to the other snake corpses and used a storage scroll to collect them, along with a portion of Manda’s remains. He wasn’t about to let all that energy go to waste.

Evolving the Phosphorous...

Chapter 44: No Biting There

"Uchiha Itachi isn’t just incredibly intelligent in battle, he’s also extremely decisive," Shishou mused, watching the Susanoo-clad Itachi from the mountaintop. His lips curved into a slight smile.

Beside him, Mikoto, Izumi, Yugao, and Erina were all stunned into silence by the sheer power displayed by Orochimaru and Itachi. They had become numb to the overwhelming display of abilities.

"Not only does he wield that terrifying black flame, but he also has this," Orochima...

Chapter 43: Uchiha Itachi VS Orochimaru

Shuriken whizzed through the air with precision, as Uchiha Itachi swiftly blinded the giant snakes summoned by Orochimaru. Despite their eyes being destroyed, the snakes continued their relentless pursuit of Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki.

Snakes rely on their tongues to sense their prey.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

Facing the massive open jaws of the attacking snake, Itachi quickly formed hand seals, releasing a large fireball from his mouth that struck the snake direc...

Chapter 42: Uchiha Itachi’s Secret and Orochimaru’s Confidence

Determined to give Yugao a good talking-to later, Shishou turned back to Orochimaru and began to speak.

“Orochimaru-sama, above the three-tomoe Sharingan exists an even more powerful eye called the Mangekyo Sharingan,” Shishou explained. “Each Mangekyo Sharingan possesses unique and extremely powerful abilities.”

Orochimaru’s eyes gleamed with an unusual light, repeating the name “Mangekyo Sharingan” excitedly. He was determined to obtain a pair of these eyes ...

Chapter 41: The Cunning Orochimaru

As they walked along the path, Shishou suddenly stopped.

"Two months ago, someone hired the black market to track Orochimaru's movements."

"Yesterday, the black market received a message from Orochimaru."

"And now, Uchiha Itachi has appeared at the information broker's place."

With these thoughts racing through his mind, Shishou quickly deduced the situation.

This meant...

Orochimaru had likely already left the Akatsuki organization.

And was no...

Chapter 150: Inyo Emerges

"I’m going to kill you!"

"I really am going to kill you!!"

Funato Seika's screams were wild and unrestrained. With Natsuhane nowhere in sight, she could no longer contain her rage. Just as she was about to command a pufferfish to leap from the sea and smash into the buildings on the shore, a crisp voice came from a distance:

"Are you Funato Arame's sister?"

Natsuhane felt a twinge of disappointment. Funato Seika looked like a mere child, no more than twelve or...

Chapter 149: The Johuto clan Appears

Seeing Mei Terumi return safely, all the Kirigakure ninjas breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mei Terumi, you're late. Why did you come back so late??" The Daimyo of the Land of Water first complained, but then lowered his tone, "But it's good you're back. How did things go? When you proposed the divorce, did Natsuhane give you a hard time? Our alliance with the Land of the Sea is over, let it be. When we return, if necessary, we'll ally with other great nations against the Land of ...

Chapter 148: Controlling the Mizukage is an Uchiha Tradition, and I Must Uphold It

"You're going to use force?" Mei Terumi's heart leapt with joy.

Finally, she had forced Natsuhane to make the first move.

Mei Terumi's aura flared up, a cold smile playing at her lips. She believed that with her strength, she could easily withstand any attack from Natsuhane. After all, she was the Mizukage of a village.

Moreover, this was the Daimyo’s residence in the Land of the Sea, so it was unlikely Natsuhane would use those overly destructive Fire Release tec...

Chapter 147: Divorce? How Would You Handle If I Insist?

"Is that you, Natsuhane?!"

The unexpected visit from Natsuhane in the dead of night caught Mei Terumi off guard. Despite the time, Natsuhane still had the energy to get out of bed, displaying an uncommon level of stamina and vitality.

"It's so late. What do you want?"

From outside, Natsuhane's light-hearted chuckle was heard.

"On our wedding night, it's a bit rude to let you listen to everything. There are still a few hours until sunrise. I thought I'd come over...

Chapter 146: Dilemma

"Is that you, Ao?"

Mei Terumi furrowed her brows and quickly opened the window just a crack, whispering harshly, "Are you insane? What are you doing here at this hour? Natsuhane is right next door. What if he finds out?"

"As a man, I can assure you he won't notice me right now. He's too... preoccupied."

In the mist, Ao’s figure slowly emerged. He slipped through the window into Mei's room, his expression troubled, struggling to find the right words.

Mei, irr...

Chapter 145: Natsuhane's Background

When Mei Terumi and Ao witnessed Natsuhane's immense power during the day, they were puzzled. How could such a powerful individual exist without them ever having heard of him? Mei instructed Ao to send someone to investigate Natsuhane’s background.

Luckily, they did. Upon seeing the information, Ao broke out in a cold sweat...

When the Daimyo of the Land of Water announced the cancellation of the plan, everyone except Ao was confused.

"Daimyo-sama! How can we canc...

Chapter 144: The Night Before the Surprise Attack, Mist's Secret Plot

Hearing Natsuhane suggest returning to their room, Uzumaki Honoka, who had been eagerly waiting, blushed and nodded shyly. "Okay..."

Compared to Honoka's enthusiasm, Mei Terumi was cold and indifferent. She responded with a blank expression, "Today is not a good day for me. I'm not feeling well, you understand... women have those days sometimes."

"I’m not a good listener, and I don't like to be a spectator. Lord Daimyo, I’ll sleep in the adjacent room tonight. I won't...

Chapter 143: Using People as Bride Price, Truly Inhuman

"The members of the Jonin clan are my bride price," Natsuhane announced.

Orochimaru’s smile faded, and her aura grew even colder. "Natsuhane, are you proposing to me in front of everyone? I’ve told you before, I’m not interested in you..."

Natsuhane waved his hand dismissively. "Whether you’re interested in me or not doesn't matter. I'm doing this for the sake of the child you're carrying. I don’t want to be a deadbeat; if it’s my child, I have to take responsib...

Chapter 142: Shocked Audience, A Third Bride Appears!

Meanwhile, at the Land of Sea’s Daimyo residence.

Natsuhane invited the Daimyo of the Land of Water inside, as they waited for his second bride of the day, Mei Terumi.

“Brother, I'll need you to be the witness for today's wedding.”

“Haha, no problem!” The Daimyo of the Land of Water laughed heartily. “I've lived for so long, and this is my first time being a witness at a wedding. It's quite exciting...”

“But little brother, I must say, your wif...

Chapter 141: The Hidden Agenda of the Land of Water's Daimyo and Mei Terumi

“......”

For Mei Terumi, this wedding was always a sham. The only change was that instead of marrying an obese, old man, she was now marrying a ridiculously handsome and mysterious young man, Natsuhane. Compared to the previous choice, Natsuhane was a more acceptable option for her.

“Alright, let's proceed with the wedding...” Mei agreed without hesitation.

She glanced at Natsuhane, then turned back to the Daimyo of the Land of Water, “Daimyo-sama, I'll return to t...

Chapter 140: A Double Wedding?

From now on, not only would they no longer have to pay tribute, but they would also receive ten years' worth of tribute back. The lives of the villagers in the Sea Country would no longer be as difficult as before.

"The second condition..." Natsuhane continued.

"Send fifty ninjas to the Sea Country. Their strength doesn't matter, as long as they come. Ideally, they should have teaching experience."

"Hmm?" The Water Daimyo was taken aback. "Brother, why do you need nin...

Chapter 139: Doubting My Strength? Let Me Show You

Seeing the tense atmosphere, the Water Daimyo tried to smooth things over.

"Fifth Mizukage, believe me, whether Mother Island becomes ours or not, I will not let Kirigakure pursue such dangerous research again," he said. "I am providing military funds to develop military talent for the country, not to dabble in these dangerous and questionable practices!"

His voice was passionate, and Ao quietly reminded him, "Daimyo-sama, keep your voice down. Those young people are comi...

Chapter 138: The New Land of the Sea, I Am the Daimyo!

The former Sea Daimyo pointed angrily at Natsuhane and shouted, "What are you two doing in my home? Get down here! Today is my wedding, not yours!"

Natsuhane coldly replied, "This house belongs to the Daimyo of the Land of the Sea, and today is the wedding day of the Daimyo of the Land of the Sea."

"Of course it is! I am the Daimyo of the Land of the Sea!"

"No, you are not. I am!"

"You...!" The former Daimyo's body trembled with rage. He turned to the villager...

Chapter 137: What’s Going On? Is This Still My Country?

“Lord Daimyo, Minister Takeshi, did the Johuto Clan really invade your country? Could you be deceiving us? Or is this a plot to win over our Mizukage?”

As they entered the Land of the Sea, everything seemed calm, with no suspicious individuals or ships in sight. In fact, Dairou Island even had fireworks, causing the Kirigakure high officials to question the Sea Daimyo’s words.

The Sea Daimyo quickly defended himself, "I wouldn’t joke about my country’s safety. The Johuto...

Chapter 136: Mei Terumi's Decision - Part 2

"Lord Daimyo, you've arrived..."

As the Daimyo entered, all the elders stood up to greet him.

"Yes."

The Daimyo nodded, motioning for everyone to sit before looking meaningfully at Mei Terumi.

"Fifth Mizukage, you should understand how difficult the situation in Kirigakure is right now."

"The Fourth Mizukage, under the influence of a mysterious genjutsu, left our village in shambles, draining our resources and costing us valuable talent! Though we have m...
