As he instinctively became aware of his own condition, he suddenly noticed a strange new chakra surging within him.
This constantly flowing chakra was not only repairing his body, making his physical form stronger, but also nullifying incoming ninjutsu. Blue steam-like radiance enveloped him, bursting outward in waves like the eye of a living storm.
The sheer force of this scene was staggering—so much so that even Tajima Uchiha's towering Susanoo could only manage to stand on eq...

"Do not be afraid! No matter how strong he is, he's only one man!"
"As long as we hold him until the clan head arrives, we still have a chance at victory!"
Two Senju jonin, locked in disadvantage, tried to rally their clansmen with words.
In a large-scale battle like this, the Uchiha's Sharingan genjutsu was hard to use to full effect. What did stand out was their close-quarters combat and mid-range ninja tool attacks—both greatly enhanced by the Sharingan's insight—maki...

"So effective?"
Gokuma Senju tore open the scroll, watching the Eight-Tails bound in place and unable to move. At first, joy lit his face—but it quickly gave way to a deep chill spreading through his heart.
Because this scene only confirmed his suspicion: a tool that could so easily subdue a tailed beast… simply handed to him? Was that possible?
A trap.
It was a trap.
Such an obvious trap.
Gokuma's chakra output didn't falter, nor did his thoughts pause...

On the battlefield, Butsuma Senju and Master Fayen—the two core figures in the plan to subdue the tailed beast—wore grim expressions as they recovered their chakra and considered their next move.
Though their earlier coordination had been flawless and their tools and jutsu carefully tailored to restrain the Eight-Tails, they both knew reclaiming a tailed beast was no easy task.
A tailed beast was a living mass of chakra; strictly speaking, it wasn't even a living creature in t...

Bang!
The bulletproof glass shattered without breaking, fragments scattering inside the military vehicle.
A sharp metallic clang rang out.
The high-carbon steel-core round smashed against Chris' matte-black cybernetic arm, sparks flashing for an instant as the deformed and fragmented projectile scattered again. One larger shard struck the seat not far from Vela, embedding itself.
It seemed she wouldn't need to use her Quinque armor for backup after all…

It was just a casually fabricated photo, completely normal in content—nothing even remotely romantic. So why would this little girl immediately think… he was her brother-in...

When Kotomi Izumi got home, Akina Izumi noticed she was carrying a paper-wrapped box and asked curiously, "What's this?"
"Donuts. Want to try one, Mom?"
Akina shook her head with a helpless sigh. "It's almost dinner, and you still brought back a whole box of donuts? Just because you earn royalties every month doesn't mean you can spend so freely."
Kotomi gave an awkward smile. When her mom scolded her, she wouldn't say an extra word—her attitude when admitting fault was al...

The official car stopped at the large park-style parking lot at one corner of Selene's official residence.
Normally empty and criticized as a waste of resources, the vast square and parking area were now fully in use. Countless vehicles were neatly parked, each bearing either the flag of a small Central or Southern European nation or the crest of a noble house.
Intersecting red carpets stretched across the grounds, lined with court attendants and servants in formal dress, stern gu...

Eriri placed her hands on Meido's shoulders, her face full of a triumphant smile at her successful scheme.
Compared to Eriri's satisfaction, Meido now seemed a little flustered.
"Wait, why a personal maid? Shouldn't your goal be to help?"

The next morning.
At the capital's central plaza.
Setsuna met up with his date.
The Royal Navy shipgirls had shown up in full force—an entire carrier fleet.
Three Illustrious-class armored carriers, the entire Royal Maids squad, plus others like Neptune and Cheshire, who weren't technically maid shipgirls.
Unicorn clutched Yuni in her arms, timidly following behind Illustrious and tugging at her dress.

Even though Lumine had lived for thousands of years and had strayed far down the path of mischief, witnessing a scene like this—especially with the Heavenly Principle and the ruler of Fontaine Divine Collective as the main figures—was simply too much.
Flustered, she turned to escape through the Space-Time Laws, only to realize that such laws did not exist here.

Butsuma Senju faced the terrifying power of the Tailed Beast Bomb with unshaken composure. His hands blurred through seals, and just before the Eight-Tails fired, he slammed both palms to the ground.

Three massive, demonic-faced gates rose before him. A moment later, the apocalyptic sphere of the Tailed Beast Bomb struck head-on, piercing through all three gates as if they were paper.
Boom—

At the border between Yamato and Musashi Provinces.
Butsuma Senju led a scouting party consisting of Gokuma Senju and four other chunin-level shinobi, moving in a specific direction. Many similar teams were scattered throughout the area.
The terrain here was complex. Towering forests dominated the landscape, making it difficult to see far ahead. Hidden beneath the canopy were treacherous marshes and salt lakes, many of them connected underground, slowing the search considerably.

After testing her basic combat capabilities, Satsuki used space-jump to return directly to her secret base on Earth.
With the plan having progressed to this stage, the overall situation was already in her grasp. Now, she merely needed to continue guiding events toward her desired outcome—slowly, steadily, just as before. The difference now was that her enhanced personal strength gave her the confidence to think: If it works, I'll keep going; if not, I can simply overturn the table...

Satsuki pondered for a moment but found no clear lead. She pulled her attention back to the present.
Finding nothing unusual about Toneri Ōtsutsuki, she dismissed the surrounding puppets and moved to a separate palace hall. There, she began focusing on channeling the boundless Ōtsutsuki chakra within her and the immense Tenseigan ocular power to stabilize her newly awakened Tenseigan.
With such an almost extravagant investment, the Tenseigan in her eyes g...

Following Yui Yuigahama and Yuka back to the Dango Cake Shop, Yui unlocked the door with her key. She didn't flip the sign to "Open," though—she was just there to tidy up the kitchen for her mom, turn off all the lights, and then head home with Yuka.
That made Kotomi Izumi the shop's last customer of the day.

The so-called progenitors of humanity were lifeforms born at the dawn of this planet. They possessed their own unique path of development and energy systems—what we know as natural energy or senjutsu.
Humanity's progenitors—or perhaps by their more familiar name—Sages.
Most of them were not human at all, but ancient beings who had completely mastered senjutsu or natural energy.
Examples included the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, and the White Snake Sage within Ry...

Access to the artificial sun required either a special jutsu or chakra unique to Hamura Ōtsutsuki's lineage—either was sufficient. For Satsuki, this posed no problem.
As she approached the artificial sun in the sky, accompanied by the unconscious Toneri and a host of puppets, its surface parted like the automatic doors of advanced technology. Detecting the chakra of both Satsuki and Toneri, it opened a passage to admit them and their escort.
