The Juventus players' morale had completely collapsed!
Even after scoring five goals against the Bianconeri, Napoli continued to apply pressure on Berardi, Juventus's substitute goalkeeper.
Berardi, already shaken, began to make a series of nervous mistakes. Although these didn't result in further goals, they further eroded the team's confidence.
It wasn't until Gao Shen started making substitutions that Napoli slowed down, adopting a more controlled, steady pace.

Red Hare returned the God Force to Chihiro, then took his position within the formation.
"I'm counting on you, Red Hare," Chihiro murmured through gritted teeth, signaling the attack.
Red Hare transformed into a blazing projectile, and with the help of Chihiro's Mystic Code- Royal Brand, which ensured a guaranteed hit, he shot directly toward Gilgamesh.
"I will tell you of the beginning.

In the hallway where contestants exited the arena, Kyoka and Momo walked side by side in silence, each lost in their own thoughts.
"I'm… sorry, Momo."
Kyoka was the first to break the silence, her voice soft and apologetic.
Momo smiled gently, shaking her head. "There's no need to apologize, Kyoka. We both agreed to go all out, didn't we?"
After a brief pause, Momo couldn't help but add, her curiosity getting the better of her, "But… I can't shake this feeling ...

With Present Mic's enthusiastic announcement, the ninth match of the first round was ready to begin.
Kyoka and Momo stood at opposite ends of the freshly repaired concrete arena, staring each other down in silence.
The two of them had complicated feelings about this match. For Kyoka, it was an unusual mixture of tension and determination. Before she'd joined the Hero Course and met Kaminari, her personality had always been carefree and straightforward; she hadn't put much though...

Claudius had initially planned to visit Prehistoric Island to catch some pets, but unforeseen circumstances forced him to abandon that plan. While on the edge of Prehistoric Island, he made a call to Dragon via a Den Den Mushi, arranging to meet up later.
He instructed Dragon to contact him once he was done with his matters.
Dragon didn't push back on this. While it was an urgent matter, it wasn't immediate. The delay wasn't significant, and, as Claudius mentioned, he knew Drago...

Oko couldn't believe what he was hearing. Do you really think I'm kind and forgiving? He wondered if Ai had lost her mind; otherwise, how could she say something so absurd?
But from beginning to end, Ai didn't spare him a glance. Her eyes remained focused on her parents, full of determination and warmth, as if Oko's words were nothing more than background noise.

Was Oko truly using someone's parents as leverage? That was beyond despicable.

Kato Dan—Tsunade's original romantic partner and a highly skilled elite Jonin of Konoha.
He possessed an exceptional jutsu: the Spirit Transformation Technique. This technique allowed the user to separate their spiritual energy from their body and manifest it as a spirit form capable of engaging in combat. Its power transcended the bounds of conventional ninjutsu.
To Orochimaru, this technique resembled the out-of-body spiritual combat found in mythology, where the soul itself...

Gao Shen had guessed correctly.
Ranieri indeed opted for more aggressive tactics at home.
Juventus Lineup:
Goalkeeper: Berardi
Defense: Molinaro, Chiellini, Legrottaglie, Birindelli
Midfield: Nedved, Nocerino, Zanetti, Salihamidzic
Forwards: Del Piero, Iaquinta
Ranieri's bench included offensive players like Camoranesi, Paladino, and Trezeguet. Clearly, the Tinkerman was determined to secure a victory in Turin tonight.

And why wouldn't he? On the surface, this was true. Orochimaru had been associated with Danzo since childhood, providing him with invaluable support and groundbreaking technology over the years.

After all, her technique wasn't designed for offense.
