Although Orochimaru was powerful, he couldn't recklessly storm an enemy village.
An enemy's base camp was filled with secret passages, hidden traps, and most critically, sealing techniques.
While Orochimaru feared no shinobi, seals and barriers were an entirely different matter.
In the ninja world, the most miraculous and dangerous power wasn't ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu.
It wasn't forbidden jutsu or summoning techniques either.
It was sealing technique...

The conflicts between the five great Villages had always been cyclical, either one struck first, or the other retaliated.
But Orochimaru's unexpected strength had forced a temporary alliance between them.
Konoha, unwilling to risk fighting three major villages at once, chose to sacrifice Orochimaru to protect itself.
Yet, no one could have foreseen that Orochimaru wouldn't just survive the ambush, he would defeat the combined forces of three ninja villages on his own.

Gao Shen was genuinely looking forward to this match against Mourinho.
Since taking charge of Real Madrid more than two years ago, competing with the world's top coaches had been the most exhilarating and fulfilling part of his journey. It gave him a deep sense of accomplishment.
As a transmigrator, he believed this was exactly what he should be doing. Otherwise, wouldn't he be letting himself down?
He had once admired Mourinho immensely. From his time at Chelsea to his t...

"Zinedine, what do you think?"
After reviewing Inter Milan's starting lineup, Gao Shen turned to Zidane and asked for his opinion.
Zidane thought for a moment before shaking his head. "It's hard to say. It looks like it could be a 4-3-3, but it also resembles a 4-4-2. Zanetti playing as a right midfielder isn't unheard of, and Maicon's attacking ability is exceptional. The two could work together on the right flank."
"You know, our attack on the left has always been stron...

But this was a good thing, Kaminari thought with a smile in his heart. He then began to attempt using his mental energy to control the electromagnetic force surrounding his body and direct it downward.
Sure enough, under the influence of the electromagnetic force, the iron particles in the soil began to tremble. As Kaminari's excitement grew, the frequency of the tremors increased.
"Rise!" Kaminari shouted in his mind.

Kaminari, despite finding Edgeshot's attitude puzzling at times, didn't press for answers. Instead, he quietly cleaned the dishes and then climbed back onto the bamboo pole for another round of meditation.

After receiving Claudius's promise, Fisher Tiger accepted his offer. He agreed to work for Claudius, help restore order to Fish-Man Street, and assist in his plans. In essence, he would act as a "labor leader," or more commonly, a contractor.
Following this, Fisher Tiger was escorted by Nya, Claudius's butler, to rest. Once Claudius finished handling affairs in Mariejois, he would return to Fish-Man Island, accompanied by countless freed compatriots of Tiger.
By all rights, Clau...

Ryuji lay back, a look of contentment on his face. Beside him, Maki was too exhausted to move, her breathing soft and even.
His thoughts drifted back to the curse-binding vow he got from Sukuna.
"Outrageous!"
This was Ryuji's immediate thought as he evaluated the curse-binding vow entry.
It was simply too absurd.
No wonder Ryomen Sukuna was so notoriously hard to kill.
In Ryuji's opinion, Sukuna's ability to exploit curse-binding vow was likely the bi...

Seeing Tsunade raising her fist, Orochimaru didn't even bother to acknowledge her threat.
Tsunade was indeed strong, but her strength primarily lay in her medical abilities.
When it came to combat? She wasn't at the level required to contend with people like the Raikage, Onoki, or even Rasa. Raw strength alone wasn't enough to handle such opponents.

Seeing Orochimaru's kunai stabbing into his father's back, A let out a furious roar.
His father, the Third Raikage, was known as the strongest shield and the strongest spear, a man who had once fought the Eight-Tails head-on and withstood countless devastating attacks, including Orochimaru's Susanoo cannon strikes.
How could someone like him be stabbed by a kunai? Could that even be possible?

Wood Release clones—a superior technique compared to ordinary Shadow Clones.
Not only were these clones far more durable and stable, but they were also harder to see through.
Because Wood Release carried an immense amount of life force, these clones could use bloodline limit techniques that ordinary Shadow Clones couldn't.
For example, the Sharingan.
Or, as was the case now, Susanoo.

Fisher Tiger had essentially insulted him, yet Claudius laughed it off as if it were nothing. It was clear that this Celestial Dragon operated on a completely different wavelength from the others.
