Chapter 169: Purple Chakra

We left our camp early the next morning, though not so early that we couldn’t have breakfast. It was the most important meal of the day, and doubly so when we would be walking all day.

While I might have enough chakra to handle this amount of exercise easily, Kanna couldn’t. Not without plenty of food, at least.

The forest was still damp with dew, mist clinging low to the ground as the sun struggled to pierce the canopy. Karin slept against Kanna’s ch...

Chapter 268

The United Nations had never hosted a meeting like this.
And it was highly likely that it never again would. In fact, many hoped dearly that it wouldn’t, because… not everyone invested this time would normally not be invited.

Yet this time, they had no choice; they couldn’t turn this down. It was too important.
The interim U.S. president had informed them of what this meeting was about, and while people weren’t happy, they also knew that they couldn’t say no.

Chapter 168: The Scenic Route

Kanna was clearly curious about what had happened inside the fort; she had, at the very least, been able to see the entire thing slowly get covered in frost and rime. Such a phenomenon wasn’t something you saw every day, yet other than asking if I was hurt, she didn’t ask more.

Had it been anyone who knew more about the world of shinobi, they would naturally be asking no end of questions about how I could use the Ice Release kekkei genkai. Yet Kanna didn’t understand why fr...

Chapter 267

The press room of the White House had never been this full.
No election had ever gotten close.
Not even wars, such as the World Wars, had gotten close.

Because of this, these were the first words the President would say after America had been attacked by an alien invasion.

Now, for the first time ever, humanity knew that they weren’t alone in the universe—and that life out there could be hostile.

It shouldn’t have been this big; people had known about ...

Chapter 167: White End

The shards shattered against the throne in a violent storm, ice biting into stone and metal alike. Takeda burst out from behind it an instant later, body flickering forward through the chaos, heat roaring around him as he came at me head-on.

His roaring chakra protected him from the cold, allowing him to close in and shift from ninjutsu to taijutsu.

Or so it seemed.

In truth, my concealed Byakugan showed me the truth.

He never left his hiding place behind the th...

Chapter 266

“The Illuminati.”

The word left my lips like a stone dropped into still water—
and the ripples hit every corner of the room.

The President blinked, confused.
Xavier’s eyes widened a fraction.
Fury froze mid-breath.

Tony was the first to speak.

“...Okay. I’m sure everyone knows about the Illuminati—eye of truth, controlling the world behind the scenes—but trust me, it’s not real. I checked when I was a kid.”

Reed nodded as well....

Chapter 166: Unforgiving chill

The screaming started almost immediately.

Men slipped on the ice, weapons clattering uselessly from numb fingers. Others tried to form hand signs, only to find their breath fogging thickly in front of them, chakra stuttering as the cold seeped into muscle and bone.

The bandits, accustomed to dealing with the powerless and weak, had no way of dealing with the sudden cold. Their bodies shivered as the unforgiving temperature sapped their strength.

While shinobi could us...

Chapter 265

Charles remained calm, fully in control of his emotions despite the chaos in here. He clearly wasn’t a man easily shaken, and his mental manipulation did calm everyone down enough to listen calmly.

Even if I feared that they would likely go back on anything discussed here due to fear that they had agreed because of his powers.

No doubt one of the reasons his pleas never amounted to anything, and collaboration remained but a distant dream.

After all, it w...

Chapter 165: The Fortress of Ash

Our journey through the Land of Valleys continued, though the deeper in we got, it wasn’t just that stops and villages became scarce—everything also grew worse in quality, from roads to places to stay.

It was very clear that the place grew poorer the further away from its wealthier neighbours it got.

This seemed to be due to simple logistics: with all these small roads and bridges one had to pass through to reach this place, fewer merchants came by here, which led to le...

Chapter 264

The room was as silent as a grave.

Blood painted the nearest wall in a wet, dripping fan. Bits of bone and fabric slid down white-painted paneling that had once hosted state dinners and glimmering receptions. A smear of something pink-grey clung to a framed portrait.

For a heartbeat, no one moved.
No one breathed.

The entire room — from veteran generals and political elites to the highest aides — seemed to hold its collective breath as they processed what had j...

Chapter 164: Shelter

Kanna Uzumaki had been born in Uzushiogakure to loving parents, in what could be called a time of peace—at least relative peace. It was during the era of the First and Second Great Shinobi Wars.

Her parents, however, had not been strong shinobi. And because Uzushiogakure had been mostly spared the worst of the fighting, the war had barely touched her childhood at all.

Looking back on it now, it felt almost like a dream—an innocent time, free of worry or fear.

“F...

Chapter 263

The Ehangwen descended like a star falling toward the earth.

Clouds parted around us in luminous sheets, glowing white-gold as my ship carved a path through them. The air grew heavier, thicker, vibrating faintly with the tension of the world below — a nation bracing for judgment.

Washington D.C. stretched beneath us, deceptively peaceful from above. Streets choked with stalled traffic. Civilians staring at the heavens. News helicopters hovering at cautious distances, came...

Chapter 163: For the Noble, Things Are Different

The roads of the Land of Valleys weren’t too bad; they were cut from hard stone and made for shipments of food and other goods. A few of the roads were even impressive, as they were cut into the sides of the countless valleys that made up the country, giving us impressive views of the great drops down into the valleys—especially when rivers or streams cut through them.

Maybe this was the reason Hagoromo didn’t reshape this place, but left it like this. I knew he had used hi...

Chapter 262

The Ehangwen sliced through the clouds like a phantom; it moved without any visual propulsion, nor did it make a sound as it glided among the clouds, a shining golden star.
Even among gods, geniuses, and knights, the sheer smoothness of the flight drew murmurs of awe.

Tony was already running his hands along the interior panels, eyes narrowed in impressed suspicion.

“Okay, I know I say this a lot,” he muttered, “but seriously — what is this thing made of? This is...

Chapter 162: Promises That Cannot Be Kept

I could feel that Kanna had some questions as we started on today’s journey. She just had this feeling about her, and I saw her open her mouth multiple times, almost about to say something, before she closed it again.

Yet I chose not to ask what it was about, both because I could guess it, and because she needed to build up her confidence a little bit.

While I did demand respect, it wasn’t to the point that I wouldn’t allow people to ask questions, more so if that per...

Chapter 261

Yelena Belova, leader of Camelot’s Veiled Hand, stretched and let out a satisfied sigh as she watched the news across the dozens of screens covering the wall in front of her.

It had taken a whole lot of work—and all on very little time—to arrange this. Secretly getting control of hundreds of news stations across the world. By hook or by crook, they claimed them, because Yelena knew the power of public perspective.

And with a near-unlimited budget and a whole nation to...

Chapter 161: The Patience of Stone

Morning in the Land of Earth was light and cold, yet quickly became warm, particularly this far south. The rocky lands have little shade outside of the mountains, and until the sun had a chance to warm the air, there was a chill about.

Even before we stepped out of our room, I could feel the village waking beneath my feet—chakra signatures stirring, pathways bustling, the ordered, efficient rhythm of people who had learned to live with hard rock instead of soft soil.

Kann...

Chapter 260

As soon as we stepped back out onto the street, amid the chaos, the countless Chitauri stood out as a shocking sight. A reporter and a cameraman were recording the scenes, sending it live around the world right from the scene of the action.

This wasn’t really that strange a sight, had it not been for the fact that not even rescue workers were getting around here yet. The fighting hadn’t even stopped yet—still pockets of resistance across at least half a dozen states and cit...

Chapter 160

Kanna couldn’t help but gasp as Kitsuchi told his story, and while a lot of details were missing, it was enough to paint a grim picture.

Konoha had suffered a devastating attack by the Nine-Tailed Fox. Countless were dead, including the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. Furthermore, as befitting the son of the current Tsuchikage, Kitsuchi even knew that Minato and his wife both died on the day of their son’s birth.

Something that hit Kanna particularly hard.

“No w...

Chapter 259

The room was in chaos after Mordred ended up slashing the device responsible for the holographic call. I couldn’t even fully blame her for it, because she knew she could cut a hologram up without a problem.

Her fault was in hitting the machine under it. Still, Clarent had struck it and broken it well beyond what a quick repair could fix, even with two of the world’s smartest people in the room.
Sometimes, Ms. Arts couldn’t make up for the effort required.

And w...

Chapter 159: The Night the Fox Howled: Part 4

Meanwhile, as Hiruzen chased the Nine-Tails out of Konoha, Minato was still confronting the masked man.

“I must hand it to the Fourth Hokage. You wounded me and managed to pull out the Nine-Tails.” He sounded both surprised and impressed. “However, the Nine-Tails will be mine eventually.”

He began disappearing using his spacetime ninjutsu. “I am going to rule the world… and there are so many ways to go about doing that.”

Minato could have ...

Chapter 258

Fury stood waiting; he had much to do. Yet here he was, just standing and waiting, doing nothing.

But he was fine with it, because he knew he wasn’t the only one who was waiting.

Across from him was a huge monitor, showing a dozen people, and he knew many more were listening in to the call he was expecting at any moment.

And with every second, they just grew more nervous; he could see the sweat roll down their faces as they sat there and waited for their judgment. 2025-12-12 11:29:30 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 158: The Night the Fox Howled: Part 3

Minato knelt on the grass after his escape. He wasn’t entirely sure about the nature of the attack he had just avoided, but his instincts told him it was dangerous.

His eyes snapped up as he felt a familiar disturbance in space, and indeed, the masked man appeared again.

He uses a teleportation jutsu too? Minato thought to himself as he analysed the situation and his opponent.

Is that how he took Kushina and moved away so quickly? He slowly pieced ...

Chapter 257

Tony felt exhausted. His body felt heavy, and even the stim he had taken to combat fatigue didn’t feel nearly as strong as it usually did. It sure did make his heartbeat hammer like crazy in his chest — a sign that it was working.

But his body and mind just needed rest.

Problem was, how was he supposed to rest?

After what had just happened? After what he’d seen?

He was tired, and his plan had been for everyone to go eat some shawarma, but sadly, the place ...

Chapter 157: The Night the Fox Howled – Part 2

Minato appeared once more inside his safehouse.

“Kushina—!”

She forced a weak smile, eyes unfocused but still searching for him. “Minato… the baby… he’s safe?”

“Yes,” he whispered, kneeling beside her and brushing her hair back. “Naruto is safe. I swear it.”

He lifted her gently and placed her beside the small crib he’d prepared earlier. Naruto lay curled inside, wrapped tightly in warm blankets, tiny chest rising and falling with soft,...

Chapter 256

Closing the portal wasn’t too difficult; the Mind Stone was indeed able to penetrate the force field protecting the Tesseract, and while I had no idea how to do it the intended way,
I knew very well that the key to the whole thing was the Tesseract. So I just forced the sceptre in and pushed my will into the Tesseract itself, using the Mind Stone to enhance it, and the blue beam shooting into the sky disappeared very quickly.

The portal, too, started closing and lasted only ...

Chapter 156: The Night the Fox Howled – Part 1

The storm over Konohagakure did not belong to the season.

No clouds rolled in from the sea, no fronts shifted across the Land of Fire. The air was still, heavy, wrong — as if the world itself were holding its breath.

Lanterns burned along the main streets, warm and soft. Shops were closing, doors sliding shut, children being called inside. A dog barked once at nothing and then hid beneath a porch, tail wedged tight between its legs.

Unknown to almost everyone, hidde...

Chapter 255

Xu Wenwu sent his rings into yet another of those alien attackers. He admitted that their lethality was high, yet their defenses were lacking. All around him lay their crumpled forms as he slaughtered them easily enough.

Though he did have to admit that if he weren’t able to funnel them into a choke point, he would have struggled if they surrounded him. After all, one shot of their weapons would kill, or at least seriously wound, even him.

And as he looked at the sky outs...

Chapter 155: The Son of Stone

The gates of the Earth Country town loomed ahead, carved directly into a sloping cliff face. Rather than wooden beams or plastered walls like in Fire Country, everything here was stone — shaped, polished, and fitted with the geometric precision only a nation of masons could achieve.

Even from a distance, I could feel the weight of it.
Not oppressive.
Not hostile.
Simply… solid.
Like the land itself.

Kanna slowed beside me, her breath catching.

“It’...

Chapter 254

“Very well.” Loki didn’t need to be told twice.

Gungnir resonated in his grip, the spear humming like a caged sun. Sparks of divine power snapped across its length, coiling upward in serpents of gold and emerald.

Maw sensed it.
His eyes widened.

“No—wait—”

But Loki was already moving.

He lunged, spear thrusting forward with regal precision, each step sending cracks spiraling across the ruined floor. The power radiating from Gungnir was the...
