The atmosphere in the Hokage's office was tense. Utatane Koharu, who initially intended to say a few words to support the Third Hokage, chose to remain silent. She realized it was better to stay out of it—especially since the discussion involved sensitive topics like the Anbu and Konoha's medical system. Any involvement could lead to more conflicts and, inevitably, more headaches for her.
Mitokado Hamura, however, was unbothered. He sat back, casually agreeing and disagreeing a...

This proposal was clearly just an excuse. Setting up a new department in Konoha was practically impossible at this time. The village was still entrenched in a prolonged war that had stretched on for nearly three years, leaving little room for new initiatives or restructuring.
The Challenges of a New Department
Establishing a new department involved far more than just a decision:
Budget Constraints:
The war had already placed a significant strain on...

"Are you kidding me?! Let me be the captain of your Hokage Guard!!!"
Shimura Danzo's voice was filled with fury as he confronted the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage, already prepared for this outburst, replied calmly, trying to defuse the tension.
"Danzo, all the important positions in the village are occupied. I can't just push others aside for you, can I?"
"I want the position of the leader of the jonin squad," Danzo demanded, his anger unabated.

Taking the initiative to pursue the Hokage position would make the current Hokage feel threatened. However, if the situation arose passively, Konoha would face one of two outcomes:
Either the current Hokage passed away, or the Hokage lost the people's trust and was forced to step down.
At that point, Tsunade becoming Hokage would be a natural and accepted transition.
After listening to Shinki's analysis, Tsunade felt a sense of relief.
"You and the old man reall...

Giving the Third Hokage a look of disdain, Mitokado Hamura decisively stood up and left. Before leaving, he didn't forget to warn the Third Hokage:
"You should keep an eye on Koharu. As for Danzo... forget it. I won't see him. I don't want anything to do with them anymore."
He had no intention of dealing with Koharu, let alone Shimura Danzo, and he valued his peace of mind.
Mitokado Hamura decided to feign ignorance and distance himself from them. From now on, he woul...

The sudden announcement of a Hokage candidate was shocking enough. The fact that the candidate was Tsunade, someone often at odds with Koharu, was even more infuriating. Koharu simply couldn't accept it.
"She's just a Hokage candidate; it doesn't mean anything," the Hokage said, lighting his pipe and offering a calm explanation.
"Doesn't mean anything?" Koharu's voice rose in frustration. "Hiruzen, don't you understand what it means to declare a Hokage candidate? This all b...

It seemed that nothing important was missing. Shinki thought for a moment and shook his head.
Seeing Shinki deep in thought and shaking his head, the Third Hokage's heart sank. He feared Shinki was about to refuse his offer.
"How about the candidate for Hokage?" Shinki finally asked.
After careful consideration, Shinki realized that the things the Third Hokage had offered to entice him—including the secret techniques of the Sarutobi clan—held no value for him. Ins...

The head of the Intelligence Department often dreamed of consolidating all the village's intelligence systems under his authority. It was an ambitious and idealistic vision, but reality had proven to be far less cooperative.
In particular, the ANBU was a thorn in his side.

Now, however, the ANBU had begun offloading a deluge of messy, irrelevant information onto the Intelligence Department...

One day later, a group of people arrived in Konoha.
"Ok?"
"Why… have the walls of Konoha changed?!"
Ohnoki's voice was filled with surprise as he gazed at the tall, thick stone walls in front of him.
For years, Konoha's walls had been made of wood—symbolic of the village's resilience and history. But they had always been vulnerable to more powerful opponents. The new stone walls were a stark contrast, now exuding an imposing, almost ancient feel, as if they ...

At this moment, all the Amegakure shinobi were kneeling on one knee in front of the man who was known as a demigod—Sanshou Hanzo.
However, Hanzo's face was anything but calm. His usual imposing presence was overshadowed by anger and frustration. As a member of the alliance with Konoha, Hanzo had not received an invitation to the meeting of the Five Kage. This slight was an insult to him, and he could not let it go unchallenged.
In Hanzo's eyes, Konoha's disregard for Ameg...

After reviewing the details, the sadness lingering between Onoki and the Third Raikage's brows remained.
Though the concept of the alliance's special training camp seemed excellent, the practicalities were another matter. Which village would willingly hand over the genius of their own people to another village?

Soon, the other three Kage returned to the conference room.
This time, they had already discussed the matter among themselves.
They would not back down from the demands they had made earlier. At most, there would be a few more meetings. They would procrastinate for a few more days, giving in just a little bit. In this way, Namikaze Minato, the young Hokage, would be forced to make concessions.

The sensation he had just experienced was too mysterious, leaving Fenfu feeling a bit confused.
But then he remembered: he was a Jinchuriki!

After briefly checking to ensure there was nothing wrong with his body and even feeling better mentally, Fenfu expressed his gratitude.

Facing the charging fire snake, Reiki raised his fingers and released Water Release and Water Barrier to block it.
The power of this fire style was exactly the same as the power Reiki had released.
"Black Zetsu, how do you reserve your ability after absorbing other people's ninjutsu?"
"Is it absorbed directly into the body?"
Reiki raised his hand and directly dispersed the mist generated by the collision of water and fire. Then he rushed to Black Zetsu and asked...

After Black Zetsu fully recovered, he stood up, looking at Reiki with newfound resolve.
"Reiki, unleash the strongest ninjutsu you have on me!" Black Zetsu said seriously.
"The strongest ninjutsu?" Reiki thought for a moment. "Let me think…"

Their souls, affected by the curse seal, were destroyed at the moment of their deaths. Even with his full strength, Reiki could still capture some information from their fragmented souls. However,...

Masked Intentions
In Konoha, within the Uchiha district, Satoru's pale blue eyes gazed calmly at the distant forest. His Six Eyes allowed him to see clearly through the shadows, where two figures were locked in a conversation.
Amid the trees, Uchiha Itachi spoke coldly, "Tonight's operation."
The masked man across from him folded his arms, his face concealed behind an enigmatic expression.

The group buried in the rubble suddenly vanished without a trace.

He must have used Izanagi at this moment!
A faint smile tugged at the corners of Satoru's lips.
This is exactly what I was waiting for!

How could he just appear like that?!
Danzo's mind raced as he stared at the black-robed figure standing before him.
Moments ago, there had been significant distance between his hiding spot and the man's position. Yet, in the blink of an eye, that gap had vanished as if it never existed.
How did he do it?
Even if his location had been revealed, it should have taken longer to close that distance.

Shisui couldn't reconcile his impression of Satoru with what he had just witnessed.
Up until now, Satoru had always struck him as a warm, lively, occasionally funny teenager. At his core, he seemed relatively simple and kind.
Yet here he was, revealing a side that was shockingly competent, resourceful, and driven.
If Sasuke Uchiha ever heard Shisui's glowing evaluation of Satoru, he would have been floored. And Satoru himself? He'd l...

Satoru made his way to the river behind Nanhe Temple, nestled in the mountains.
Moments earlier, using his Six Eyes, he had spotted Uchiha Shisui.
His condition was dire—one of his Sharingan had been gouged out by Danzo.
Oh, right. The other one had been taken by himself.
