*Chapter 65: Playing Along*

Laughter filled the air, and the atmosphere was warm and friendly—

When Jennifer Aniston arrived on set, this was the scene that greeted her. The unexpected sight made her doubt her eyes.

What...what's going on?

Wasn't this supposed to be a tense standoff? A barrage of accusations?

Her hand, poised to open the car door, hesitated for a moment.

"Jennifer?"

The assistant, who was driving, noticed Jennifer's pause and called out in concern.

Jenn...

*Chapter 64: A Harmonious Atmosphere*

Calm and composed. Neither humble nor arrogant.

Even when countering, there was no anger or aggression. Instead, Anson clearly and confidently conveyed his thoughts with a steady, unhurried manner. He exuded a subtle aura of calmness and composure, capturing the listener's attention with every word and expression.

His words carried weight.

Without anyone noticing, the entire conversation had shifted entirely under Anson's control.

So, how did all of this happen?...

### Chapter 63: Love Triangle

Something felt slightly off, as if there was a subtle sense of unease—

From the car ride to the appearance on stage, and then to the first words spoken, step by step, unknowingly and silently, Anson was breaking expectations and overturning the balance.

Every detail exceeded the imagination of the reporters present, so much so that the initiative gradually fell into Anson’s hands.

This... wasn’t how it was supposed to be.

As a seasoned reporter, Nicholas i...

*Chapter 62: A Sea of People*

An indigo long-sleeved shirt paired with khaki shorts, tousled golden-brown hair fluttering carelessly in the breeze, and a physique that exuded a unique Italian charm. The moment he stepped out, the sunlight and wind seemed to take on a wilder, cooler edge.

He exited the car and stood still, casually slinging a light gray jacket over his shoulder. There was an effortless ease to him, as if he had just returned from a Mediterranean vacation. Yet, in every movement, he exuded a ce...

*Chapter 61: Battle-Hardened*

Nicolas Flynn was chewing gum, trying to quit smoking—a task that was proving to be anything but easy.

At least the gum provided a temporary distraction, though its effectiveness was minimal—

He could still pick up on the whispers and murmurs around him, like crickets holding a symphony.

Looking around, there were about a hundred reporters gathered outside Stage 24. It wasn’t a huge crowd compared to the buzz surrounding Brad and Jennifer, but they were well-equ...

*Chapter 60: Storm on the Horizon*

A rumor, like a sudden thunderbolt, sparked a storm, dragging all involved into the chaos.

Brad was quick to clarify the rumors in front of reporters:

"Completely baseless."

Brad emphasized that he never requested anyone to lose their job and did not use his connections to suppress other actors behind the scenes.

He believed someone was trying to tarnish his reputation, stating, "I’m fine, Jennifer’s fine, we’re all fine, everything is fine."

Object...

Chapter 59: To the Point"

Hedi, though not the ghostly figure from Ju-On, clearly had his own unique social philosophy, one that was starkly different from that of ordinary people.

Anson, however, didn’t mind.

In fact, Anson found Hedi’s approach refreshing in its own way—direct, simple, and devoid of pretense.

But for someone of Darren’s stature, the whole interaction must have felt strange. After all, it’s not often that he encounters someone so blunt and unorthodox.

*Chapter 58: The Nameless Man*

In his previous life, Anson had tried different jobs and positions, meeting all kinds of people with varying personalities, backgrounds, and circumstances.

He had made mistakes before, acting out of youth and inexperience, making wrong judgments and choices. But all those mistakes became part of him, and as he grew older, his way of handling similar situations naturally evolved.

This moment was no different.

Even though Anson couldn’t fully understand the man in fro...

*Chapter 57: Fashion Styling*

In a fleeting moment, Anson's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a pale, slender figure, slightly awkward and shy, evoking the eerie sensation of "The Grudge." Startled, Anson nearly jumped.

Once he calmed down, Anson realized that the figure in front of him was a real person, not some ghostly apparition. In fact, it was his presence that had intruded on the other person's quiet little world.

"Ah, sorry about that."

Though still slightly shaken, Anson politely apol...

*Chapter 56: Creating an Image*

*Chapter 56: Creating an Image*

Suits, shirts, jerseys, shorts, T-shirts, jeans, jackets, trench coats, sweaters, cardigans, and so on—different styles, different combinations, different brands—everything you could possibly want.

Before his eyes, a dazzling array of choices spread out, as if all the colors of the world had been gathered here. From black and white to vibrant hues, it was an overwhelming sight.

Standing in the very center of a circular dome, he lo...

### Chapter 55: Sharpening the Blade at the Last Minute

The sunlight in California always favors those youthful faces with sharp features. The golden rays cast shadows, leaving fragments on the contours of their faces, subtly refining the temperament between their brows and the colors deep within their eyes. A casual glance or a fleeting look can make time stand still.

"Hey, Uncle Darren."

A greeting, filled with youthful energy, seamlessly blends the man's physique with the...

*Chapter 54: A Pleasant Collaboration*

Golden sunlight danced on the balcony, covered with lush green vines. A waiter, dressed in a shirt and suit, skillfully navigated through the crowd, carrying a four-tiered dessert tray. The air was filled with a lazy, relaxed atmosphere—morning after the party, where time seemed to slow down.

Finally, the waiter stopped at a table by the window, brought his legs together, and slightly bowed.

"Mr. Star."

He greeted politely, and a bronzed face with sunglasses lifted ...

### Chapter 53: Deep Scheming

——"What?"

The words slipped out.

Marta thought she had misheard and was filled with questions as she blinked at David Klein, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"April Fool’s Day has long passed."

David Klein didn’t respond with words, only met Marta’s gaze quietly, gradually sinking into thought. His expression said it all.

Clearly, he wasn’t joking.

The smile on Marta’s face gradually stiffened as she adjusted her sitting po...

Chapter 52: Interception on the Road

---

David Crane had an idea and a plan, but he wasn't in a rush. He stayed patient and methodical, waiting for a sign—a sign that would provide evidence to support his thoughts.

Now, the numbers were in—

24 million.

Viewership had seen a small uptick, breaking a minor ceiling and returning to peak levels of the sixth season. However, the breakthrough wasn’t enough. Purely by the numbers, it was the third-highest viewership of the sixth season—not a recor...

*Chapter 51: Playing Along*

In the year 2000, television remained the primary source of entertainment in people’s daily lives. Streaming services were nonexistent, and even the internet was still in its early stages. Naturally, TV show ratings were at their peak.

The success of a TV show was primarily measured by two sets of numbers.

First, viewership—this literally refers to the number of people in North America’s population of 300 million who watched the show. At that time, 10 million...

**Chapter 67: You Won’t Get Away with This**

Reijin's mind was completely occupied with thoughts about the Uchiha clan. If he had known earlier, he would have run away alone instead of bringing so many people along. Now, he had to consider their future and even encourage them to have more children. Being the Uchiha clan leader sure came with all kinds of responsibilities—every aspect required his attention.

*Chapter 66: Let Uchiha Thrive*

A was released and immediately started building three treehouses in the forest.

But three treehouses aren’t enough!

A was out of chakra.

“You're no longer a ninja of Konoha; your former identity with the Root can be discarded.”

“Abandon your old name! From now on, you will be called Tenzo!”

Reijin glanced at Tenzo, who was sitting on the ground, completely drained of chakra, and said this.

After being taken in by Tsunade, Tenzo had become...

*Chapter 65: A New Beginning, A New Future*

Uchiha Reijin arrived in the Kamui dimension, where he found the clan leaders of Konoha standing alongside Tsunade, while Uchiha Kaseki and the Uchiha members stood firmly behind him. The two groups faced each other, forming an obvious divide.

Reijin glanced at Tsunade, a look of disdain crossing his face. So, she found someone to back her up—predictably, it’s the Senju. It would indeed be easier to control these clans if they had a singular leader to follow.

To Reijin,...

*Chapter 63: Becoming Sasuke's Stepping Stone*

The Uchiha clan doesn't need too many voices.

Reijin had already come to this conclusion a long time ago.

The Uchiha clan must be firmly grasped in his hands.

Elder Setsuna held too much influence within the Uchiha clan.

If they were to reach that point, orders from Reijin might not be relayed quickly.

So, it would be best for Elder Setsuna to retire.

This would prevent internal conflicts within the Uchiha clan just after Reijin had crossed over.

*Chapter 62: The Last Dance of the Uchiha*

Obito shivered instinctively under Reijin's gaze.

Such a dangerous look…

What kind of evil scheme is this guy up to now?

Remembering the last time he met Reijin, all he did was stare at his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Could it be that this guy didn’t awaken his own Mangekyō?

So, he’s just fixated on Reijin's?

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Explosions continued to reverberate, and fires could be seen all over the village.

A slight smile returned to...

Chapter 61: Why is This Person So Evil?**

Suddenly, Uchiha Itachi died right in front of him.

Uchiha Reijin felt a wave of boredom wash over him.

It felt like there was no meaning left in the ninja world.

Without the hateful glares directed at him, the source of his joy was gone.

Reijin smacked his lips and took out a container holding Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Looking at the pair of eyes inside, Reijin's mood improved slightly.

Those eyes were filled with hatred for him, even in death...

Chapter 60: Tsukuyomi Will Be Under My Control

Uchiha Itachi felt a ripple of emotion within him. His initial impulse to use the Mangekyou Sharingan to control Reijin was suppressed.

Each use of the Mangekyou Sharingan brought significant strain on him.

It was even a burden to his eyes.

After using both Susano'o and Amaterasu earlier, Itachi clearly felt his vision becoming somewhat blurry.

However, because of the Mangekyou's power, this sensation wasn't very pronounced.

Unless these eyes reached their...

Chapter 59: Your Eyes Will Become My Collection**

Uchiha Reijin looked at Itachi with surprise!

Look! Who's here?

Our little Itachi.

A genius of the Uchiha clan.

So young, and he's already joined the Anbu.

He's always been called the pride of the Uchiha clan.

But what's going on with him now?

Even after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, he still looks so unhappy.

Isn't this a pleasant surprise, bringing me a pair of eyes directly?

"Sigh, I originally thought the first one to come ...

*Chapter 58: Where Is Sasuke?*

So this is the ability of Uchiha Izumi's Mangekyō Sharingan?

Earlier, he had witnessed Uchiha Izumi instantly slay two Root ninjas.

He thought he had already figured out Uchiha Izumi's ability.

But he never expected that this Mangekyō ability could even sever ninjutsu.

This power was terrifying.

Uchiha Itachi's heart sank as he contemplated how to deal with Uchiha Izumi.

Mangekyō abilities couldn’t be used recklessly!

Since he had just awa...

*Chapter 57: The Suffering of Konoha*

"..."

Faced with questions from his clan members, Uchiha Fugaku hesitated.

Right!

What should he do now?

Raijin’s rebellion didn’t give him any notice either.

And besides…

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly thought of his wife and children.

Earlier, Uchiha Setsuna had asked his wife, the Uchiha clan leader's wife, to take charge of the situation.

He had readily agreed, hoping to bring some honor back to the family.

But unexpectedly!

*Chapter 56: The Uchiha's Restless Spirit*

Behind, the barrier of the Uchiha Fire Flame Formation rose high. At the center of Konoha, a massive surge of chakra also erupted into the sky.

This chakra had become so dense it was practically tangible, affecting the surrounding area.

But this form...

Obito Uchiha frowned slightly.

He hadn't expected that even with his Mangekyō Sharingan in control, he could only release six tails, not reaching the full power of the Nine-Tails.

It seemed that his teache...

Chapter 55: The Sudden Nine-Tails Uprising

The sudden change in the Uchiha clan shocked Shisui to his core.

The Uchiha Fire Formation was a sealing technique created by the Uchiha clan before the establishment of the village.

When performed by four Jonin, it could hold off a Kage-level opponent for a short time.

If more people participated, it could potentially even hold back a Tailed Beast.

But why had this formation suddenly appeared within the Uchiha clan?

Could it be that someone had infiltrate...

Chapter 54: Uchiha Fire Flame Formation

Raijin appeared on the stage, and everyone's eyes focused on him.

They looked at him with scrutiny, wanting to see what this young man was going to do.

"I didn't expect all the clan heads to give me so much face. I won't disappoint you today."

"Actually, there's something I want to announce to everyone today. I hope you're mentally prepared."

Raijin looked at the crowd below with a smile, taking in everyone's expressions.

Everyone was a representative of t...

Chapter 53: The Uchiha Clan Doesn't Seem So Evil After All

As the morning sun rose, the Uchiha clan started to bustle with activity.

People brought out the ingredients they had prepared earlier.

They tidied up the space to avoid overcrowding.

After lunch, the Uchiha clan received some guests.

"Welcome, Nara clan head! I didn't expect you to arrive so early."

"Isn't this the Akimichi clan head? Please come this way, we have unlimited barbecue and other food here."

"Yamanaka clan head, your daughter is definit...

Chapter 52: The Show Begins

"Bam!"

"Bam!"

Walking into the Konoha training ground, an unusual commotion could be heard.

Following the sound, Raijin walked over and took a quick look.

He saw a little kid with a middle part kicking a wooden post.

The wooden post was covered in small, uneven dents.

There were also many bloodstains that had turned black and solidified.

The kid had bandages wrapped around his legs, and his face would twitch every time he kicked the post.
