Orochimaru's sudden shift in the conversation left both Tsunade and Jiraiya momentarily stunned. The two hadn't expected him to bring up Senjutsu the ancient art of Sage Mode training.
"Senjutsu?" Tsunade blinked, confused. It wasn't a topic they discussed often.
Jiraiya frowned slightly, still leaning against the tree. "Orochimaru, why the sudden interest in Sage techniques?"
Orochimaru didn't miss a beat. "Yes, Jiraiya. You don't plan on having this discussion out here ...

Fusing Kaguya's genes?
Yes, it was a risky proposition, but for Orochimaru, the potential reward far outweighed the danger.
To fuse with Kaguya's genes, the most direct way would be to release her from the seal. But Kaguya wasn't just any foe, she was the ancestor of chakra, the true god of the ninja world, and an unparalleled force of nature. Even the Sage of Six Paths, her own son, hadn't fully inherited her power.
It was clear: releasing Kaguya could bring catastrophic...

The Argentine midfielder felt a warmth spread through him.
Clearly, Gao Shen valued him greatly.

In the South Blue, a small cruise ship drifted leisurely across the vast sea.
Though the ship was small, it had all the comforts of a luxury yacht. On the deck, Claudius lay back on a sun lounger, a glass of freshly squeezed juice in one hand and a book in the other. His entire demeanor radiated laziness as he soaked up the sun.
Not far from him, Crocodile and Enel sat at the edge of the deck, each holding a fishing rod, seemingly focused on catching something. Both of them were...

For almost a year now, they had been relentlessly chasing leads all over the world, trying to find Roger. As a result, they hadn't seen much of each other lately. So, now that everyone happened to be in the same place, they decided to gath...

With two beautiful girls each with her own distinct style walking beside him, Kaminari strolled down the street, attracting envious glares from the men around.
"Well... even though I'm not an adult yet, this feels pretty good," Kaminari chuckled inwardly. It wasn't that he had romantic feelings for either of them, but come on, what boy wouldn't feel a little proud in this situation?
Suddenly, a commotion erupted in front of them.

Kaminari didn't deny it and explained, "That's true. We're not officially debuting. We're just a school band, more like a club. We only release songs occasionally, and we don't plan on doing any performances until after we graduate."
"But basic promotion is still necessary," Kaminari continued. "You know, things like member posters, song previews, that sort of thing. Yaoyor...

And Geto had always treated them like his own daughters.

Orochimaru didn't waste time debating with the Uchiha clan members. Once he gave the order, the matter was settled.
Despite their notorious pride and occasional friction with the village, the Uchiha clan wasn't so rebellious that they'd dare defy a direct order, especially not on the battlefield.
Frustrated but obedient, Uchiha Fugaku led by example. He began disassembling the rifle meticulously, just as Orochimaru had instructed. The rest of the Uchiha followed suit, albeit gr...

Every village engaged in research, be it weapons, secret medicines, or forbidden arts. Even the smaller nations participated in this arms race.

One village might have more talented ninjas, another a greater number of forbidden techniques, but they all had similar tools at their disposal. A tailed beast here, a secret technique th...

Sniper rifles. Yes, the weapons in their hands were advanced sniper rifles.

The front of the butt is equipped with an adjustable bipod for stability. The barrel itself is stainless steel, about 660mm lon...
