Seeing Mikoto appear, Kushina was stunned, but only for a moment.
She already knew about Mikoto's relationship with Orochimaru, but what confused her was the job Orochimaru had entrusted to Mikoto.
After Mikoto left, Kushina couldn't hold back her curiosity any longer.
"Lord Orochimaru, you mentioned that the Uchiha clan has conflicts with the village. So why would you entrust Mikoto with something so sensitive?"
"I'll explain later," Orochimaru replied indifferent...
Danzo quickly processed what Hiruzen meant by recommending Tsunade as Hokage.
Why Tsunade?
According to Hiruzen's character, wouldn't Jiraiya or Namikaze Minato be better options? Even if not them, wouldn't Sakumo have been a more suitable candidate?
So why had it suddenly fallen to Tsunade?
"The Reanimation Jutsu? Orochimaru?" Danzo muttered to himself, a realization dawning on him. "So that's it!"
In mere moments, Danzo pieced together the entire puzzle.
"Haahβ¦"
The scorching flames engulfed the forest, and the brilliant light illuminated the night sky.
Under Chihiro's control, the Samadhi True Fire, amplified using Ars Ignis, spread like waves, devouring all the sea monsters in its path.
A large section of the forest was burned to ashes, but thanks to Chihiro's meticulous control, the flames did not turn into a wildfire.
Watching Chihiro demonstrate such overwhelming power, Darnic gritted his teeth and took out ...

"Is this for real? Villains nowadays rely on acting skills to make a living? How are professional actors in the film and TV industry supposed to compete with that?" Kaminari muttered to himself, stunned by what had just transpired.
"What should we do, Kaminari?! Pikachu's been captured!" Kyoka asked anxiously.
"Hmm, if you change 'Kaminari' to 'Denki,' I think your sentence would sound ...

"What should we do? They're heading to Shizuoka Prefecture!" whispered a man dressed in yellow, hidden among the crowd in the waiting area. The most prominent feature on his face was a knife-like scar running from the center of his eyebrows to just under his right eye.
"Boss, we can't let them get to Shizuoka!" said a deep, booming voice over his earpiece. It was easy to imagine the speaker as...

That day, Kaminari and the others stayed in the recording studio until around 7 p.m. Though they took several breaks in between, it was undeniably exhausting.
Especially for Kaminari, his fingers ached from playing the guitar, and his throat was strained to its limit after singing for hours.
As mentioned earlier, today wasn't just about recording new songs. They also practiced previous hits ...

It took Dawu about seven or eight minutes to calm down from the shock. During this time, he obsessively petted and hugged Pikachu like a madman.
Thankfully, this 'Pikachu' wasn't the real Pikachu. Otherwise, with the actual Pikachu's temperament, Dawu would have been hit by a full-force Thunderbolt long ago.
Meanwhile, Kaminari was already standing in front of the professional microphone in...

During breakfast, not only was Kaminari in high spirits, but his parents were equally excited.
For Kaminari's mother, it was pride in her son's talent, but for his father, as an entrepreneur, it was more than that. He felt like he was witnessing another money-making tree beginning to sprout.
This excitement didn't fade even as he and Kaminari got into the car. Instead, he silently made up h...

"Dad, can I come with you to work later?"
Kaminari, who had just returned home from a morning run with Midnight, called out to his father the moment he walked through the door. His father was sitting on the couch, reading a newspaper as he waited for breakfast.
"Pika!"
Pikachu echoed from Kaminari's feet.
Kaminari's father gently folded the newspaper, looked at his son sitting beside him with a hint of confusion, and aske...
After a brief silence, Sengoku said in a deep voice, "Perhaps he really does have some issues... damn it. But he's a good boy, I know it."
"Now is not the time to get emotional, you idiot!" Tsuru scolded the wavering Sengoku before abruptly hanging up the Den Den Mushi.
She didn't want to listen to Sengoku's excuses or his pleas on behalf of Rosinante. It would just be more pointless justifications. If Sengoku were to act recklessly, it might implicate him even further. Without ...
The school day began uneventfully as Ryuji and Miko approached the school gate.
As they neared the school gate, and the chatter of students grew louder, Ryuji's steps slowed. He let out a small sigh, his free hand brushing against his side. "Presence Concealment," he muttered under his breath, a faint ripple of cursed energy emanating from him.
In an instant, it was as though he had vanished from sight. To those without cursed energy, Ryuji was now nothing more than a passing sh...

After hearing the news that Hiddink had replaced Scolari as Chelsea's head coach, Gao Shen's immediate reaction was a headache.
He stood up from his desk, walked to the window, and gazed at the sprawling golf course in the distance, deep in thought. His mind raced. The situation was complicated, and the headache felt real.

About an hour's drive from London's southwestern suburbs, in the southeastern corner of the small town of Cobham, sits a modern training base spanning nearly 800 acres.
Turning off the town road onto a two-lane path, you wind forward for two or three hundred meters before seeing a long row of parking spaces on the left. At the end of the parking lot is a magnificent building with a curved, vaulte...
Gao Shen, Bonucci, and Hamsik all winning major awards greatly boosted Napoli's morale.
Although Napoli held a brief training camp during the winter break, the team and its players were still adjusting their condition. Nevertheless, Napoli's strength this season was far beyond what it had been the previous year.
Three days after returning to Naples from Turin, the 20th round of Serie A kicked off.
At home, Napoli secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Catania, with Hamsik scor...
After winning the Serie A Oscar for Best Coach, Gao Shen was busy fielding interviews from major media outlets. However, he still found time to post a tweet showing off the trophy he had just won.
Netizens and media from around the world quickly flooded in to watch.
One comment immediately rose to the top in likes:
"Incredible! He won the Serie A Golden Chair Award at just 28 years old!"
Many felt he should have received the award last season, but unfortunately, during...

Thank you, and have a great day.
Clouds rumbled ominously overhead, and occasional flashes of lightning illuminated the darkened sky.
In the underground alley, the atmosphere was heavy and unsettling.
A family of three walked together, still talking and laughing about the plot of Zorro. They were already planning their next outing, their voices warm and full of joy.
Bardi walked some distance behind them, neither following them too closely nor attempting to walk together. He was simply going his ow...

The silhouette of State Island slowly faded beyond the horizon. Ethan leaned against the railing of the poop deck, staring absently in the island's direction, lost in thought.
Arthur had heard Brent's parting words as well, but neither he nor Ethan had any intention of attempting the Sea of Storms anytime soon. How long they would remain in the Sea of Calm was still an open question.

In this world, can one truly get anywhere without noble status? While the statement might sound absolute, it is almost always true in Westeros. No one is born untouchable. Once you enter this world, you have to play by its rules. But Aegor saw beyond the surface, past the aristocratic system that seemed to define everything. The noble system was merely a visible layer of the game in Westeros. Beneath it lay the deeper, more fundamental rules: every problem was ultimately one of resources and ...

From the Living Corpse Reincarnation to the Cursed Seal of Heaven, and even Kaguya's genes, he could choose whichever path he preferred.
As for resurrection? Orochimaru also had countless approaches.
Leaving aside lesser-known methods, even the well-documented ones would suffice.
First was the Reanimation Jutsu.
However, this wasn't true resurrection. The souls summoned were bound to the caster's will, m...
"By the way, do you really have nothing else?"
After all the bodies had been sacrificed, Bluebeard pulled out a book and placed it on the table in front of Darnic.
The book was the "Jeanne Fan Club Set" that Darnic had gotten earlier. What he initially deemed a useless trinket unexpectedly turned out to be effective in bribing Bluebeard.
"Really, nothing else," Darnic replied dismissively, waving his hand. He then gestured for Bluebeard to move all the sea monsters to the...
The battle with Snatch had come to an end, and the Kaminari family's life had returned to normal.
Kaminari resumed his daily routine, attending school as usual and silently cramming to finish his homework. Although his grades had always been exceptional, he still felt the need to sharpen his skills for combat.
Well... there was more. He still had to make time to prepare new songs while also guiding Snatch in developing his Quirk. Overall, his days were packed.

North Blue, Minion Island
Marine Chief Staff Officer Tsuru's fleet was stationed near the island, but they hadn't taken any further action. They didn't dare enter the island to confront Barrels directly. It wasn't because Barrels himself posed a major threat, he was far from a match for someone like Tsuru but because the Ope-Ope Fruit was in his possession. Any reckless move could push him to destroy the fruit, jeopardizing the entire mission.
Minion Island was a filthy, lawless...
The morning sunlight barely peeked through the windows as Mai limped out of the room, her disheveled hair swaying with each uneven step. Passing by Maki in the hallway, she slowed just enough to meet her sister's sharp, accusing gaze.
Maki's lips twitched, her brow furrowing as if she was fighting the urge to say something. Instead, her narrowed eyes spoke volumes.
Mai, of course, was unfazed. Her smug smile spread wider, her lips curving in a way that made Maki's hands instinct...

As Bardi leapt across Gotham's rooftops, a Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit started up elsewhere in the city.
This Silver Spirit wasn't just any car, it was a symbol of status and authority. Even the Queen of England used it as her vehicle, as did the British royal family, European parliaments, and the prime ministers of Germany, Belgium, and Luxembourg. In this era, it was one of the most luxurious and prestigious cars in the world.

A new day had arrived. Ethan lay on his bed, eyes open, but he didn't move.
For the past few weeks, he had been working relentlessly to meet his set goals. Now that he had achieved them, a sense of aimlessness crept in.
Gathering resources and building wealth were long-term tasks, something he'd continue doing for years to come. But in the short term, he had no immediate purpose.
"Without a clear goal, it's so easy to become lazy," he muttered to himself.

Lying is an art, and Aegor had learned a valuable trick: deceive yourself before deceiving others. The best lies are rooted in truth. If you create an identity within a story, everything you do and say must strictly align with that identity. It's like writing a novel, no matter how strange or fantastical the setting, as long as it's consistent within its own rules, it will appear logical. If a liar can immerse themselves deeply enough to believe their own words, the deception becomes nearly u...

Afraid that Orochimaru might give an inappropriate response, she held her breath. However, Orochimaru, unfazed as always, began recounting the events in RΕran without hesitation.
