Not far from where Kazuki and Black Zetsu were, Obito's performance was about to begin.
Uchiha Rin's lifeless body lay on the ground, a diary conveniently covering the hole in her chest.
The Alliance shinobi, attracted by the smell of blood, arrived at the scene with cruel expressions, fixing their gaze on Obito and the corpse at his feet.
"Well, well... another lamb to the slaughter!"
Despite the mask covering his face, the Iwagakure ANBU's voice could not hide his sa...

Kingdom of Tristain, Tristania, Royal Palace.
At this moment, in the great hall of the castle, Chelsea was half-crouched behind Louise, discreetly observing the young princess who was sitting on a throne with a regal bearing.
She was a girl with a beautiful face and a slender figure, with an innate elegance. On her head rested a white tiara set with three emeralds, and her short hair, a peculiar shade between purple and red, contrasted with the deep blue of her eyes.
At that...

Inside the Konoha Alliance Headquarters.
Funan was sitting in the main seat.
Below him were Terumi Mei and Gaara. A little further down were Jiraiya, Uchiha Fugaku and Kakashi.
"Hokage-sama, when will we attack?" Jiraiya asked, "With the amount of explosive tags we have, we could just bombard them relentlessly."
"Don't be careless." Funan said lightly: "If the opponent doesn't have Orochimaru, everything will be easy. With Orochimaru, it will be difficult."

Three days later.
The forces of Kumogakure finally reunited with those of Iwagakure.
Seeing the state they arrived in, with pale faces and exhausted bodies, Ōnoki couldn't help but hold his breath.
It's too miserable!
"What the hell has happened to you?"
"Those Konoha bastards!" Darui roared, his face twisted in fury. "They've been chasing us relentlessly..."
For the Kumo shinobi, these days had been endless torture.
As they advanced with their famil...

Rayla remained silent within the group, but her gaze remained fixed on the front of the formation. Her attention was on Geralt.
Lann gave Geralt a meaningful look: Use your witcher skills and get some information out of her.
Geralt let out an almost imperceptible sigh and slowed his pace until he was in the middle of the group.
When he reached her side, Rayla reacted with a slight but evident hardening of her posture, as if her body had tensed involuntarily.

“Beautiful, don’t you think...? Zetsu...” As Kazuki controlled Rin's body, he said to Zetsu with a smile. “Thanks to my modifications, this body now possesses blood and organs as real as those of any human being.”
“It is the result of Takigakure's secret technique..."
Black Zetsu silently watched Obito.

However, Uchiha Setsuna did not respond and just twisted the sword without hesitation, completely destroyi...

"Father, you are already dead. I am the Kazekage now." Gaara's voice was firm, with a hint of pride. "And I'll do a better job than you."
Jiraiya watched the conversation with a strange expression.
He had heard that Rasa never treated Gaara well… he even tried to kill him on more than one occasion.
Perhaps that explained his defiant attitude.
Rasa was silent for a long moment before speaking in a hoarse voice, "Gaara..."

The World Government had always been a colossal bureaucratic entity.
However, with the appearance of the Dimensional Gates, its size had expanded to a point where it could already be considered enormous, and even clumsy in its operation.
The main reason was the overwhelming number of people tasked with tedious tasks such as information gathering, data organization and calculation.
The work required by five worlds had pushed the World Government to the absolute limits of its ...

After hearing Lann's reason for not mobilizing troops, Demavend and Meve exchanged a glance.
Meve sighed. “So, Lann, what is your combat plan for the future? When do you think your soldiers will be able to join the battle?”
Lann thought for a moment. Although some information was too sensitive to share, he could reveal most of the plan to his allies.
“Currently, Cintra has about five thousand men in training. They will need about a month before they are ready for comba...

Lann and the other witchers hardened their expressions, trying hard not to show the discomfort they felt after crossing the teleportation portal. Even Black Wind looked more majestic than usual.
Fortunately, in diplomatic situations, a serious expression was not only appropriate, it also gave one an air of authority.
At that moment, Lann looked at the female officer who had come out to greet them. A rarity in the army, where women were often excluded from the combat ranks. However...

The wind blew gently.
Uchiha Rin began to move and headed towards a huge crater not far from where Kazuki and Black Zetsu were.
It was in that place where Onoki had imprisoned Obito with his Earth Release and, finally, had reduced him to dust with his Dust Release.
The original attack mark, once shaped like a perfect cube, had been devastated by the bombardments of Konoha's forces, leaving the terrain completely uneven and unrecognizable.
Kazuki floated in the air, gat...

The sky was slowly darkening and Lann had lost track of time as he recounted all his experiences during the journey to Skellige.
The three old men listening to him raised their glasses from time to time, and before they knew it, the wine jug was empty. Hardy had come and gone countless times.
A night breeze filtered into the room, bringing with it a sense of tranquility.

Seeing Funan's refusal to negotiate, Darui and C frowned.
What were they to do now?
The suicidal tactic they had used earlier had given them a momentary advantage, taking the enemy by surprise, but it could not be used often.
The enemy would soon be on guard.
Furthermore, the damage to Kumogakure itself would be much greater.
And then there was an unspeakable secret.
Darui and his group had resorted to a forbidden technique to control those shinobi, making ...

The three great sage regions have a restrictive relationship with each other.
Slugs restrain snakes, snakes restrain toads, and toads restrain slugs.
However, due to Katsuyu’s peaceful nature, there was no real enmity between her and Ryuchi Cave, despite their restrictive relationship.
In contrast, Mount Myōboku and Ryuchi Cave had always been in conflict, as both were the territories of powerful and aggressive beasts.
The situation changed when the Sage of Six Path...

His gaze fell on Kazuki's white hair, filled with envy and desire.
Ever since he broke away from Uchiha Rin's shell, Black Zetsu longed more than ever to possess a true body. He didn't need one like Kazuki's, one similar to Rin's was enough.
"Hide my power… not exactly." Kazuki replied calmly. "Didn't I mention it to you befor...

The diary...
Black Zetsu glared at Kazuki. That arrogant jerk who claimed to be his brother! How much did he really know?
That diary was a key element in his plan. He had carefully written it to hasten the downfall of Uchiha Obito, describing in a sincere tone every moment from their first meeting, how they met, to his 'love' for him...
Of course, that wasn't the most important thing. Black Zetsu had subtly inserted references to Uchiha Rin's vision of 'peace', camouflaging ...

"At least I tried to do something! That's better than doing nothing!" Black Zetsu exploded in anger.
Black Zetsu finally lost control. He no longer maintained the dignified attitude of a puppet master in the shadows of the shinobi world; in his conversation with Kazuki, he had become like a younger brother who argued, made excuses, and claimed the family inheritance. He tried his best to shake off any responsibility: “Just because it’s difficult, does that mean you won’t save Moth...

After Kaguya's power entered Kazuki's body.
Tobirama pondered the Child of Prophecy of Mount Myoboku, and the more he thought about it, the more sense it made.
Who knew those toads actually had some vision? If Tobirama had to find an explanation for Kazuki's almost mystical experiences, that theory would fit perfectly.
If he's not the Child of Prophecy, then who is?
Tobirama took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions as he considered his next steps.

Iwagakure battlefield…
Black Zetsu/Uchiha Rin was talking to Kakashi, with an expression that combined sadness and misery, like a lost soul... or rather, like a grieving widow.
And, in a way, that was precisely the role he played.
News of Obito's death had spread among the Konoha shinobi fighting on the Iwagakure front.
Hit by the Dust Release, his death was indisputable…

Kazuki sensed the presence of an extremely powerful and unique chakra that was stalking him from deep within the Ryūchi Cave.
Without a doubt, it was the White Snake Sage.
Since Tagitsuhime had already mentioned her name, the least he could do was show her some respect.
In Kazuki's view, these great sages did not reach the level of the Six Paths, but they had accumulated an enormous amount of natural energy and senjutsu chakra over the centuries. In addition, they mastered ...

Just as Tagorihime was preparing to retreat and let Kazuki pass the test, a thick fog began to fill the cave, drastically reducing visibility.
“Is this…?” Immediately, a corrosive burning sensation ran through her body, as if her skin and scales were about to melt.
The fog became increasingly dense, turning from milky white to yellowish, increasing its corrosive capacity.
The cave was an enclosed space; the fog had nowhere to dissipate, and the acid was beginning to de...

Deep within Ryuchi Cave, a huge white snake slithered about in sinuous movements. She took a deep breath from her pipe and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke. Her forked tongue flicked out as a hoarse, elderly voice issued from her mouth: "It's been a long time since a new challenger came. How nostalgic..."
The great white snake looked down and ordered: "You three, go and greet the guests."
Under the white snake, three women of exceptional beauty nodded in unison. "At your command, Gr...

Kazuki shook his head and asked Jiraiya, "The Sage of Six Paths... really existed?"
"If after a thousand years the solution of the stone tablet was correct, why did he not apply it himself in his time?" he mused aloud. "There are still many unknowns. The first thing is to determine whether the stone tablet is real or not."
Jiraiya listened attentively to Kazuki's words and nodded in satisfaction.
In his mind, Kazuki's value as the child of prophecy rose several levels.

Once again, from Kazuki's words, Jiraiya heard that familiar term he had learned since childhood. His memories became blurry for an instant.
When did it all begin?
It seems to have been three or four years ago, when Uchiha Kazuki naturally became the symbol of the Will of Fire in Konoha.
It all started with a perfect answer on a test about the Will of Fire: Where the leaves dance, the fire never goes out…
