The western district of Rōran City.
“Good!”
“Uzui Tengen, was it? I’ll remember you!”
The Third Raikage halted his offensive, his expression dark as he spoke.
He had already confirmed that he couldn’t take down this opponent in a short time. This man clearly possessed some kind of unusual sensory ability, allowing him to dodge his attacks again and again.
And that powerful Sound Release—capable of directly countering his long-range Lightning Releas...

After observing for a while, Augustus entered the bar with a few soldiers, leaving the rest to secure the perimeter.
The bar was unexpectedly clean and well-kept. A pleasant scent of incense mingled with the dry chill from outside. The floor was wooden, patched up in places. There were about a dozen tables and chairs, and only four or five patrons inside—most likely, the rest had bolted as soon as they heard the Marines were coming.
Augustus walked straight to the bar counter, e...

"Madara-sama, this isn’t going to work!" Black Zetsu shrieked.
"It will work," Madara sneered.
Multiple Truth-Seeking Orbs flew out and intercepted the attacks.
Just a little longer—

Funan turned and yelled, "What the hell are you waiting for? Blast that thing!"
"Got it!"
Naruto immediately performed the Shadow Clone Technique.
A total of nine Narutos—each one launching a Tailed Beast Bomb.
Nine Tailed Beasts unleashed thei...

The snowplow barreled forward like a storm, finally coming to a clean stop in front of the only command center at Fort Howe. Warfield and Augustus stepped out together. Two re-socialized soldiers stood at the entrance. Upon seeing them, the soldiers immediately snapped to attention and saluted.
"All of Vanderspool’s men are re-socialized soldiers. I don’t think he likes people who think for themselves—he only wants machines that follow orders without question," Warfield said to Au...

Tychus could already tell what kind of person this sergeant was—definitely not someone to be trifled with. Young, sharp, and no-nonsense, he clearly didn’t tolerate the slightest impropriety. He was nothing like those aging sergeants on Raydin III who had grown senile from years of idling in rear positions. Fooling Augustus was going to be a tall order.
In Tychus’s experience, officers like him—young and ambitious—were typically more concerned with promotions than with money o...

Riding into the city, Lann looked up and around, taking in the scene with a hint of admiration. The finely crafted ceilings, the gilded walls, and the mighty bas-reliefs in black basalt—all of it reflected the dwarves’ masterful craftsmanship.
However, now wasn’t the time for sightseeing. Lann quickly followed Brouver into a vast council chamber. The ceiling of the chamber was low, yet the air inside carried a sense of history and artistry that far surpassed that of many human kin...

Tychus was tired of exchanging empty threats with some backwater punk. When things reached a point where fists were the only language left, he made damn sure the other guy learned whose punches hurt more.
There was a raging lion coiled in the heart of just-released Tychus Findlay, and—
“Put him down, you lunatic.”
Just as Tychus was about to hoist Raynor over his head and hurl him like a sack of trash toward the storage racks behind the counter, a cold gun barrel press...

Just as the shinobi of Umigakure were being pushed back by the overwhelming numbers of Kumogakure ninja, reinforcements suddenly arrived—dozens of figures dressed in black appeared behind them.
But these newcomers weren’t dressed in ninja gear. They wore tailored black suits.
Their weapons weren’t kunai either—they were sleek, pitch-black pistols.
While deftly dodging the attacks of Kumogakure's shinobi, they fired back with precise bursts from their handguns.

Tychus tightened his thin shirt around himself and stepped into the shadowy dispatch hall at Fort Howe. The temperature inside was at least a bit higher, but for someone used to the dry, sweltering heat of Raydin III, it was still freezing. The 'cute' layer of fat around his gut didn’t offer him any warmth.
After being incarcerated, all of Tychus’s personal items and equipment had been confiscated. Now he wore only a shirt, a thin black nylon jacket, and carried nothing but a few pa...

While some celebrated the end of the war, and others were happy for the close relationship Tsunade and Kazuki showed, there was one person who felt out of place.
“Sigh, sensei is still so protective…”
Hiruzen shook his head subtly, feeling somewhat worried for Tsunade.
To him, Kazuki calling Hanzō and the others 'The Three Who Survived' was nothing more than a Second Grandfather trying to help his bullied granddaughter save face; it was merely Tobirama’s familial af...

Somewhere in the shadows—
A single eye, filled with panic, watched in silence.
Black Zetsu.
He had always wanted to interfere, to help Uchiha Madara fight.
Unfortunately—
He was too weak.
Besides, deep down, he also wanted to give Madara a good slap in the face.
Now, the time had finally come.
Madara had been resurrected!
He had become the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails!

“This is an order, Lared,” Augustus said, pointing toward the exit of A-220 Commercial Street. “Head in that direction. Now.”
“Yes, sir.”
Lared gave a textbook-perfect salute and immediately turned, sprinting toward the exit.
Augustus watched as Lared moved through several squads ahead, pushing past them amid their surprised cries. With steady strides, the marine—once a convicted murderer turned resocialized soldier—crossed the threshold.

As Augustus returned to his men, the comm channel was in chaos. Lundstein was administering sedatives and painkillers to Omer.

Augustus felt his heartbeat pause for several seconds. He walked directly over to Benjamin’s body.
Benjamin’s power armor was one size larger than Augustus’s. On his chest plate—painted with a white cross—were three...

“I’ll follow your lead,” the corporal replied.
And so, Augustus’s force had now grown to over forty soldiers—nearly the size of his original platoon back in basic training.
Leading this mixed unit, Augustus continued northward along A-220 Commercial Street. He suspected that a large Kel-Morian force was hiding within this shopping district—because barely two minutes later, they ran headfirst into another squa...

After Augustus illuminated the dark corridor with the searchlight mounted on his Gauss rifle, Raynor and the others followed him down the corridor. Thanks to the night-vision mode of the HUD on their visors, combined with the beam of their spotlights, their visibility wasn’t impaired despite the darkness.
What they saw was unusual: six marines were standing motionless in the middle of the corridor. As Augustus and his squad entered, the marines said nothing—just turned to stare at t...

The war… was over.
The moment Kazuki declared it, the entire Konoha army camp burst from silence into a roaring sea of cheers.
Victory.
A victory the likes of which had never been seen in the history of the ninja world.
In this war, Konoha fought the entire ninja world with only the strength of one village—yet it cut down tens of thousands of enemies, even claiming the lives of several Kage-level opponents.
And more shockingly, Kazuki had eliminated six of th...

Funan hurriedly waved his hands and said, “Look at these two—aren’t they both way stronger than me? Why are you coming after me first? Where’s your conscience? Did a dog eat it?”
Six Paths Madara sneered coldly and didn’t bother to reply. He charged forward in an instant.

That move completely confused Madara.

The Lion's eyes gleamed sharply, locked onto the dwarven Elder. And the Elder, now that the Scoia'tael dwarf could no longer rant and rave, finally began to speak in a different tone.
“Two hundred years ago, the clans chose me as Elder-in-Chief. I began my rule over Mahakam.”
The three-braided dwarf stared at him in shock as Brouver suddenly reached for his shoulder and slapped it—his cloak slipped off and fell to the ground.

By 8 a.m., the forward-most resocialized regiment had already advanced several kilometers toward the city center, losing all contact with the rear units. Warfield’s First Company, after entering the urban zone, had chosen to regroup with several of its sibling companies before taking the lead again.
Augustus’s squad was moving alongside an Arclite Tank, advancing along a four-lane east-west highway designated Route 30. They entered the city through the Dunlin District in the northea...

“Shadow Clone Technique!”
Funan created four clones in a flash.
“Everyone—receive Senjutsu Chakra!”
Funan’s clones fanned out across the battlefield, distributing the Nine-Tails’ chakra.
But in this case, he also handed out Senjutsu Chakra.
Once the chakra was distributed, Funan shouted, “Set up the strongest barrier possible—we fight here!”
“Yes!”
The elite shinobi standing around the perimeter all formed hand seals in unison....

After hearing Funan and Hashirama's rejection, Madara's gaze turned cold, and the next moment he appeared right in front of Hashirama.

A figure suddenly appeared, blocking what should have been a fatal blow.

"Take this!"
Funan opened his mouth and spat out a burst of blood-red flames.
The Truth-Seeking Balls behind Six Paths Madara automatically moved to shield him.

With a resounding pop, Kakashi’s signature move—One Thousand Years of Death—landed squarely.
Uchiha Madara’s Susanoo shattered completely.
His body trembled... and cracked apart.

Funan glanced at the two men and let out a mischievous chuckle.
Just before the two forces clashed, Funan made his move.

Funan began to flank from the side—
Abandoning all defense, concentrating every ounce of his power into one overwhelming blow aimed directly at Uchiha Madara.
