The anticipated explosion never came. Under the stunned gaze of the blond-haired youth, Raiden, who was pinned to the ground by the clay bomb, was now surrounded by crackling lightning chakra. Slowly, he sat up, the sheer force of his chakra causing the clay bomb to fall off him like brittle mud.
Plop!
The inert clay bomb hit the ground, useless and deformed.
"What… what's going on?" The blond youth's voice was sharp, tinged with disbelief. For a ninja, the m...

"Earth Style: Mountain Crusher Technique!"
Following the enemy's jutsu, two massive semicircular boulders rose from the ground, closing in on Raiden's position. The sudden terrain shift threw him off balance, making immediate escape nearly impossible.
Reacting quickly, Raiden reached into his ninja pouch, pulling out a shuriken. He infused it with lightning chakra, the energy crackling across the weapon.

When Raiden awoke from his deep sleep, the rain was still falling lightly from the sky. However, the dense forest canopy shielded much of the ground from the rain, leaving only occasional droplets trickling through. The forest floor, though, had turned into a muddy mess, making it even harder to traverse than when he had stopped to rest.
"It seems traveling in these conditions is still going to be difficult," Raiden muttered.
He sat in his shelter, staring at the remnants of the b...

Kirito could tell that Sasuke had questions he wanted to ask but avoided addressing them directly. To shift Sasuke's focus, he brought up Boruto's Karma mark, steering the conversation away from himself.
Seeing Sasuke hesitate, Kirito said, "I know you have a lot of questions, but there's much I don't fully understand myself. What I can tell you is this: Naruto and the others are my allies. I would never harm them or put them in danger."
Faced with Kirito's f...

In Urashiki's memory, the Otsutsuki clan is forbidden from killing one another.
This restriction exists because the Otsutsuki clan, having achieved immortality and gained strange powers, has become increasingly abstinent. Their numbers are far too small for their ambitions.
Considering the special physique and hidden secrets of the Otsutsuki clan, Kirito didn't want to challenge this taboo. Thus, he abandoned the idea of killing Urashiki himself.
But that didn't mean he coul...

World Governance is one of the ocular techniques Kirito awakened after mastering the power of the Rinne-Sharingan.
Unlike other ocular techniques, "World Governance" has an "entry certificate." Only those who possess this certificate can access this space. Those without the ability of "World Governance" cannot find the location, and even if they have been there, they cannot record its spatial coordinates.
In this space, no extraordinary power can be used or maintained. The definit...

Without hesitation, Kirito retorted coldly, "I don't know you, and it has nothing to do with you. But if you want to die, I'll gladly oblige."
Urashiki clenched his teeth at Kirito's resolute attitude, realizing he had no choice but to fend for himself. Reaching into the red fish basket on his back, he retri...

Having not seen Sasuke all day, Naruto had dragged Boruto to find him early in the morning.
"I was in the village the whole time," Sasuke replied flatly.
"Then I should have seen you!" Naruto pressed, frustrated with Sasuke's evasive tone. "My job is to monitor you!"
"Well, sorry." Sasuke's indifferent apology left Naruto speechless.

After being thoroughly beaten once, Killer Bee had become obedient—mostly.

Shinki slapped the table, laughing heartily.
The information was too amusing. Compared to the disciplined operations of the Third Hokage and others on the battlefield in Grass Country, the antics of the Third Raikage and Yagura were on a completely different level. Their approach was daring and unconventional—something no one else could have come up with.

Yagura dove into the sea like a turtle, moving gracefully yet with incredible speed. He could dive to great depths, making it impossible for enemies on the surface to detect his presence.
Although the sensory abilities of perception ninjas were strong, the seawater effectively masked Yagura's movements, neutralizing their detection efforts.
In the vast ocean, two warships of the Cloud Village escorted several supply ships sailing steadily. The Cloud Village ninjas aboard were comp...

"I don't know how much wealth your Iwagakure has," the Raikage sneered. "But judging by your village's obsession with mass troop deployments, I'd say it's not much. Compared to our Cloud Village, your wealth is laughable."
Onoki's already dark complexion turned a shade darker, and his jaw tightened. Damn it. Is being rich really that impressive?
