NBB Chapter 9: Enemies Reunited

“Hatake Kakashi—the legendary Copy Ninja?”

As Uchiha Itachi spoke, Biwa Juzo’s eyes flickered slightly. Kakashi was indeed a renowned name throughout the shinobi world.

“Hm. I just didn’t expect he’d left the ANBU and seems to be taking on students now.”

Uchiha Itachi’s gaze remained calm as he offered a casual explanation, though in truth, he felt a headache coming on.

Why did he have to run into Kakashi, his former superior, in a place like this? 2025-05-16 03:48:47 +0000 UTC View Post

TWL Chapter 383: Steel, Fire, and Amber Eyes

“Are all Skelligers... like that?” Julia murmured in disbelief.

The druid simply smiled and said nothing.

The warship soon closed the distance to the transport ship where the officers stood. From this range, they could clearly see two flags flying from its lookout tower—one bore the indigo dragon-head sigil of the Tuirseach clan of the Isles, and the other the blue banner with three lions of Cintra.

After a short exchange using flag signals, the warship pulled alongsid...

NBB Chapter 8: Research Purposes Only

“This mission really is a pain.”

A few days later, inside an inn in the Land of Waves, Kitagawa Gen sat at the bedside, frowning slightly.

Kakashi had gone off to meet with the client, so naturally, Gen stayed behind.

But as he stared at the [Exclusive Mission] displayed on his panel, he couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

He had accepted the mission. It was his first time encountering an exclusive mission—there was no way he wouldn’t be curious abou...

SCL Chapter 73: After the Ceasefire

As the twelfth month of the year 2488 approached, tensions flared once more on Meinhoff. Both the Terran Federation forces stationed on the planet and the secretly armed Kel-Morian natives were gearing up for renewed conflict. Though not particularly beautiful or enchanting, this dark blue planet was now suffused with the oppressive atmosphere of an impending war.

However, officers like Augustus—who had been assigned to take over surface-level factories—had already received word fro...

NBB Chapter 7: Lessons from the Copy Ninja

“Well, in that case—let’s head out.”

Kakashi didn’t waste any words. After giving Obito and Rin’s memorial one last look, he turned and led Kitagawa Gen away.

Leaving the village went smoothly. A simple form needed to be filled out, and with Kakashi’s reputation, everything was handled without issue.

In this era, Konoha’s backbone truly consisted of Kakashi’s generation.

Sometimes, Kitagawa Gen found himself wishing he had been born in the same era as...

TWL Chapter 382: Fire in the Wind, Steel at Sea

Eight massive transport ships sailed across the sea, worn and weathered from the journey.

They were clearly aged vessels, not particularly fast. Fortunately, each had been outfitted with the sturdiest sails, and the gale winds happened to blow precisely in the direction they were headed, providing the ships with ample propulsion.

On the central flagship of the fleet, a middle-aged man in a sealskin jacket stood with arms outstretched. In front of him was a strange wooden staff roo...

NBB Chapter 6: Genin Is the Endgame… For Most of You

“…Also, it’s class time right now. What the heck are you doing here?”

Kitagawa Gen didn’t let up—he pressed his advantage and gave Naruto a suspicious once-over before suddenly smiling.

“I get it now. You skipped class. Well then, Naruto-kun… you wouldn’t want Iruka-sensei to find out about that, would you?”

“…”

At that moment, Naruto’s face turned pale.

“Uh… Gen-senpai?”

Thankfully, Shikamaru and the others had just walked...

NBB Chapter 5: Oops, I Accidentally Became a Prodigy

'Phoenix Fire Technique… and he used that method?'

That was unmistakably the standard Uchiha shuriken technique, wasn’t it?

'Where the hell did he learn that?'

Kakashi was a little puzzled—but he knew it was time to get serious.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Rather than dodging, Kakashi instantly formed hand seals and expelled a massive fireball forward.

The blazing sphere not only devoured Kitagawa Gen’s Phoenix Fire—it also disrupted...

NBB Chapter 4: When in Doubt, Add Hokage Faces

One day later…

“Wait, what do you mean you haven’t figured it out yet, Kakashi-sensei!?”

Early in the morning, in one of Konoha’s training fields, Kitagawa Gen stared at Kakashi in utter disbelief.

“You’ve got to be kidding me!”

“Is it really that surprising?”

Kakashi, sporting his usual dead-fish eyes, scratched his messy white hair, then shrugged.

“Your situation’s a bit special. Based on your performance yesterday, there’s no wa...

NBB Chapter 3: Power in the Blood

Dusk. Ichiraku Ramen.

"Here you go. One large, extra-spicy pork-flavored chashu ramen."

"Thanks, Teuchi-ojisan!"

Kitagawa Gen took the bowl and immediately hunched over to wolf it down.

"Slow down. That much spice, eaten that fast... not a good idea."

Teuchi couldn’t help shaking his head at the sight, but Kitagawa Gen didn’t seem to care at all. With his mouth full, he mumbled, "It’s fine. I haven’t eaten all day."

Seeing this, Teuchi could only ch...

NBB Chapter 2: Thirteen Years for a Single Gift

[Name: Kitagawa Gen]

[Age: 13]

[Bloodline: None (possibly a line of commoners)]

[Chakra Reserves: B (average Chūnin level)]

[Chakra Attributes: Wind, Fire, Earth]

[Skills: Body Flicker Technique, Earth Release, Kakashi’s Kenjutsu, Throwing Techniques (Ninjutsu scales with chakra level)]

“Kakashi’s kenjutsu? Not bad.”

As he walked out of the hospital, Kitagawa Ge...

NBB Chapter 1: A Rough Start

Inside Konoha Hospital.

The harsh fluorescent lights above swayed slightly, and the stench of disinfectant was so strong it nearly suffocated.

On a bench in the corridor, Kakashi sat with a young boy beside him.

Only one of Kakashi’s visible eyes—the half-lidded, droopy one—looked utterly numb. His gaze would occasionally flick toward a nearby hospital room.

No one knew how long had passed before the sound of footsteps suddenly echoed from inside the room, breaki...

SCL Chapter 72: The Price of Potential

“So, you’re Foreman August Mengsk? Sorry if my accent’s a bit thick,” the miner said. “I’m Rory Swann. You can call me Rory, or Swann—it doesn’t matter. But just so you know, there are two thousand Swanns in New Apollon.”

“My cousin heard you’re hiring. Word is the pay’s decent.”

“Rory Swann…” Augustus muttered the name under his breath. “I remember you. Out of over four hundred applications, I picked yours. Even had someone tell you that you coul...

SCL Chapter 71: Bread, Crystals, and Control

Right now, Augustus had full control over a vein of Ardeon crystals. Within the Kel-Morian Combine’s classification system—based on mineral richness—the New Apollon Warm Zone mine was considered rather low-grade. It was categorized as having mining value, but with limited reserves. If extraction costs rose too high, Kel-Morian mining companies would immediately abandon it.

However, the relatively high crystal purity and the recent discovery of associated rare metal deposits made t...

SCL Chapter 70: From Battlefield to Boardroom

Augustus speculated that several technological advancements—such as the full deployment of the CMC-250 and CMC-300 powered suits, mass production and activation of the Wraith fighters, the new wave of upgrades to the Arclite main battle tanks, and the deployment of entire Resocialization brigades willing to die without hesitation—were all major factors in the Kel-Morian defeat.

The main reason lay in the sheer difference in scale. The Terran Federation had far more colonies and a mu...

SCL Chapter 69: Where the Money’s Real and the Men Aren’t Useless

"Easy there, old Jack. No need to rush," Raynor grumbled over the internal comms. "Seriously, I’m about to hurl."

"Want to drive instead?" Jack replied leisurely.

"Shouldn’t be too hard. I flew plenty of sims in the Iron Justice’s holo chamber—and always topped the scores," Raynor said eagerly. "You said it yourself. Next time, I’m flying us back. I bet I’m just one epic maneuver away from earning my pilot’s license!"

"Oh boy, then you’ll be flying solo, Jim�...

TWL Chapter 381: Daughter, Bride, Pawn

Under the effect of the Axii Sign, Duke aep Dahy became an open book, holding nothing back.

“By tradition, after ascending the throne, His Majesty is expected to select a young woman of marriageable age from among the Empire’s noble families as Empress, in order to preserve the purity of the imperial bloodline.”

“However, some time ago, we received intelligence from a spy inside the court. It seems His Majesty has been secretly assigning tasks to his spies and sorcerers—...

SCL Chapter 68: Home for Christmas, If We Survive

The Iron Justice was a behemoth-class battlecruiser of the Terran Federation. This steel giant, stretching 460 metres in length, boasted over twenty magnetic-coil-accelerated cannons and laser pulse turrets, as well as laser grid defense batteries. A massive Colossus-class reactor powered the ship’s life-support and weapons systems.

Clad in heavy steel armor and equipped with heavy artillery, these ships were like mobile fortresses forged in iron. In wartime, they served as the comm...

SCL Chapter 67: They Came from the Void

“Rory! Come fix the magnetic resonator!”

A deep, booming voice echoed through the vast open pit.

“I’m on my way! …Let’s hope the damn thing holds until I get there—hah, not likely,” Swann muttered, the second part more to himself than anyone else.

Just as he turned to walk toward the direction the voice came from, the old observation platform beside him—one that hadn’t moved in at least twenty years—suddenly lit up with a flickering red glow as if it ha...

TWL Chapter 380: Cintra Will Rise Again

Letho and Vesemir exchanged glances. At last, the old Witcher chuckled softly and gestured for Letho to step forward.

“We’ve formed a guerrilla unit with 1,000 of those new recruits. Our job is to harass Nilfgaard’s supply lines,” said the leader of the School of the Viper, pointing to several locations on the map. “Here, here, and here.”

Each of those locations marked complex terrain—hills, forests, and similar obstacles. Each time Letho pointed, the black-haired of...

SCL Chapter 66: Two Sons, Two Worlds

“Do you really think I’ll succeed?” Arcturus asked with a laugh. “Aside from those few old subordinates who’ve followed me since I was just a sergeant, no one really understands me. So I told them I’ve grown tired of war—and no longer believe in what we once fought for.”

“I could invest in your team,” Augustus said. “And in the future, if you ever discover a vein of Ardeon crystals so massive you couldn’t spend it all in a lifetime… just spare me a little piece...

SCL Chapter 65: The End of One War, the Start of Another

Augustus stood before the massive bronze-tinted glass window of the command center office of the Uranus Mountains, gazing out at the distant mountains. His coffee-brown uniform was so neat and pressed it looked freshly ironed. The golden vertical bar on his right shoulder indicated his rank: Second Lieutenant. A digital wall clock displayed the time—09:00 a.m., September 11th.

It had been nearly a month since Augustus last saw combat. Over the past several weeks, Heaven’s Devils—n...

SCL Chapter 64: Arms, Armor, and Alliances

Augustus's unreliable father, Angus, might have been a brilliant politician and agitator, but he knew nothing about military affairs. He was stubbornly convinced that Korhal’s population of several tens of millions and a mobilized force of fewer than 250,000 troops could stand up to the powerful Terran Federation government. But in truth, even with Umoja’s weapons support, it was nowhere near enough to level the playing field.

The Terran Federation had fleets and resocialized soldie...

TWL Chapter 379: Interrogation at the War Table

The moment Ciri entered, Duke aep Dahy’s eyes lit up sharply. He was just about to speak, but his expression froze in place.

Despite his extensive experience with court intrigue, even he nearly lost control of his facial composure at that moment.

First, he saw the Skelligers—along with the iron crown atop Eist’s head.

Then, he spotted the fully armored dwarves—and none other than Barclay, the military mastermind of Mahakam.

Since when had Cintra gained the alle...

SCL Chapter 63: The Devil’s Inventory

After unconsciously obeying Augustus's orders, Tychus left sulking, then returned dragging a man with a shock of unruly hair. “All he had on him was a wristwatch. Damn it, Mengsk, I shouldn’t have trusted you.”

“That’s just bad luck on your part,” Augustus said. Then he turned toward Raynor, who was trying to avoid his gaze. “Jim, tell me—what did this guy do to you earlier?”

“He threw me in the pit and said he was gonna douse me with water,” Raynor said, rel...

TWL Chapter 378: To Command, To Unite

Second among the Followers in granting the most experience to Lann was Kiyan in Novigrad. The system’s power had cured him of the hereditary madness passed down within the Cat School. Coupled with the efforts of a theater troupe running a publicity campaign on his behalf, quite a bit of favorable reputation had started to emerge from Novigrad—the capital of backroom dealings.

Though it was just a drop in the ocean, it nonetheless injected a sliver of positive energy into the Witcher...

TUS Chapter 390: Final

"Alright, you two—starting today, go live normal lives!"

Funan gave the two little ones a series of firm pats, then promptly kicked them both out the door.

“Our… our power…”

The two kids looked dazed and confused.

The ferocious power they once wielded—capable of shaking the heavens and earth—now felt fragile, leaving even their movements sluggish and clumsy.

“Power? I sealed it.”

Funan’s response was blunt and straightforward.

“H...

TWL Chapter 377: A Red-Haired Student, and a Watchful Princess

“Troll! How many times do I have to tell you—that’s alcohol for disinfecting! Disinfecting! It’s strategic medical supply, not your afternoon snack!”

A hoarse roar echoed through the camp.

The one being scolded was a terrifying creature covered in hardened stone—one that scholars would classify under the broader category of ogroids.

Yet at this moment, the monster looked no more threatening than a lost child. Hunched over and confused, it repeatedly thumped its h...

TUS Chapter 389: The End of an Era

As they watched the streaking meteor vanish into the sky, everyone fell silent.

Even the Sage of Six Paths, who was still locked in battle, staggered and nearly lost his footing.

He ran?

Hamura just… ran?

Forget the others—even the Sage hadn’t seen that coming.

“Zehahaha…”

Funan looked at the Sage of Six Paths with a smirk that was half sneer, half grin. “Hagoromo, your brother ran off. That just leaves you. So—what now? Why not lie down and...

SCL Chapter 62: Heaven’s Devils Descent

The deep blue sky resembled an inverted sea. One bright moon was rising, while another was setting. Below them stretched an endless ocean of clouds. Two APOD transport ships, each carrying a main platoon of marines, streaked across the night sky of Turaxis II, leaving behind silver trails like shooting stars.

At a certain moment, the two transport ships suddenly accelerated, and the ice-blue flames from their thrusters burned even brighter. Like frigatebirds folding their wings and divi...
