“Hmm... Ah! Of course, that girl is from the same era as Kakashi and the others. There’s no way Aunt Nansa would matchmake me with an older woman. So, who could be a potential choice? Anko? No! Kurenai? Also no! Shizune? Not her! Pakura...? Maybe?”
Aoki's face showed doubt as he mentioned Pakura, biting his lower lip.
“Or maybe... Terumi Mei...? Really? Well, I won’t know without reading it,” Aoki said, his enthusiasm reigniting. “Alright, let’s go to Aunt N...

Every movement felt more natural. Aoki sensed the power of water flowing within him, and for the first time, he felt a deep connection between himself and the technique he was learning.
With a renewed spirit, Aoki continued his training, determined to perfect Mizu no Kokyu: San no kata and become stronger than ever before.
Aoki's training was not easy. Every time he tried to move like the waves, he fell into traps set in the forest. Some might wonder why Aoki, who had previ...

However, even though Aoki could now use Natural Energy more effectively, he realized the limitations he had to adhere to. Overuse could strain his body, and Aoki preferred to conserve his strength for emergencies.
If he was not in danger, Aoki would not overuse Natural Energy, choosing to endure rather than get caught up in ambitions that could be destructive.
Two months passed quickly, and as three months after the contract ended approached, Aoki was ready to step into the...

Mizu no Kokyu, the water breathing technique mastered by Aoki, became sharper and more refined as Aoki was able to combine it with the power of Sage Mode.
However, despite the progress, the number of failures Aoki experienced during training was countless. Although he was better than five months ago, Aoki still often found his body unable to withstand the side effects of overusing natural energy.
Aoki's young body was not ready to handle such a large amount of energy, limit...

"Alright! In that case, I won't hesitate to give you a few small wounds." Kuroshiro smiled cynically. "Now get ready, kid!" Suddenly, Kuroshiro's body was surrounded by bright yellow sparks of electricity. Lightning coursed through his body, and in an instant, Kuroshiro vanished from Aoki's sight.
"Swoosh!"
The wind howled fiercely as Kuroshiro moved with incredible speed, so fast that Aoki couldn't follow him with the naked eye. Before Aoki could react, a sharp claw shot t...

Ellina, with her long, shimmering green hair, and Charlotte, with a loving gaze hidden behind her calm expression.
Even so, there is a soft side to them that is rarely seen, and at this moment, Ryan finds himself in the middle of it, in a situation that makes it hard for him to breathe.
Ryan stares at the ceiling, his gaze caught between temptation and astonishment. In his heart, Ryan recalls his promise. Yes, Ryan had promised to take care of these two women as part of his...

The stares pierced through, some filled with a strong curiosity, while others contained veiled anxiety. However, Ryan showed no sign of concern.
Ryan simply walked straight ahead with a calm expression, his mind completely focused on one thing: returning to the inn, sleeping peacefully, and waking up the next morning. For Ryan, the gazes of the homeless were just part of the background of a world that did not affect his main goal.

The hologram figure appeared graceful in a shimmering dark blue gown, with the same dark blue hair cascading down her back. Her eyes, as sharp as the deep ocean, glowed with intelligence. On her right hand, there was a heart-shaped tattoo with wings on either side, adding a unique touch to her appearance.

Ryan felt the vibration of energy behind him, sensing the hidden secret. As Ryan's hand touched the rough surface of the wall, a flow of Mana energy began to emanate from his body, penetrating the stone. In an instant, the wall trembled softly, then slowly began to split with a rumbling sound echoing down the corridor.
How could this happen? The secret was actually quite simple. By channeling Mana at specific points, the wall responded. Voilà! The wall that had seemed solid now ...

"It’s the reason your mother is doing all this." Mei Li reached out and touched Jie Li’s hand, trying to connect with her daughter's hardened heart.
Jie Li remained silent. Her mother's words echoed in her mind, but Jie Li found it too difficult to let go of her dislike for Haruto. No matter how Mei Li viewed Haruto, Jie Li couldn’t ignore her own strong feelings—that Haruto was an untrustworthy scoundrel.
Mei Li sighed again, this time more heavily. She knew better...

Haruto, feeling cornered by the situation, could only remain silent, glancing between them, unsure of what to say.
'I was just looking, not committing a crime,' Haruto thought, bewildered by the chaos unfolding.
"Oh! It's already night? Haruto, you must want to head home soon, right?" Mei Li suddenly turned toward the window, realizing the day had passed into evening.
Hearing this, Haruto felt a bit relieved that there was finally an excuse to end the awkward tension....

Haruto listened to Mei Li's explanation with a calm and controlled expression, but inside his head, chaotic thoughts emerged. He was deeply surprised by the information.

Mei Li smiled widely at the compliment, but Haruto could feel the piercing cold gaze from Jie Li intensifying. Haruto quickly glanced at Jie Li, who had now turned her face away. What Haruto didn't know was that Jie Li's face was growing increasingly red.

Kuroshiro frowned, a bit suspicious. "Are you really sure you want to do this?" Kuroshiro's tone revealed a hint of concern. There was an uncertainty that Kuroshiro felt, even though Kuroshiro knew Aoki rarely backed down from a challenge.

Kuroshiro sighed deeply, finally giving in to Aoki's unwavering confidence. "Huhh... alright," Kuroshiro said, nodding ...

On the right side, Aoki's eyes had changed drastically. The straight black patterns resembling cat pupils looked sharp, with a bright white outer part.
Conversely, in Aoki's left eye, a similar pattern appeared, but this time it was inverted—white pupils in the midst of the dark black surrounding them. A strange aura emanated from Aoki's eyes, making anyone who looked at him feel intimidated and uncomfortable.
Not only had Aoki's eyes changed. The kimono Aoki wore looked ...

"After you grasp these feathers, close your eyes and begin to absorb the Energy of Nature," Kuroshiro said while observing Aoki intently.
Aoki closed his eyes and tried to follow Kuroshiro's instructions. As Aoki began to feel the Energy of Nature flowing around him, he suddenly felt as if he was being sucked into total darkness.
In that darkness, two very contrasting voices could be heard.

As soon as those words left Haruto's mouth, he immediately regretted what he had said.
'Oh my God! What did I just say?!' Haruto's body stiffened, and he felt a cold sweat trickling down his neck. He glanced at Jie Li with a worried expression, waiting for an unpredictable reaction.
